Gambling dasuki..............SAAAAA, SAAAAA, SAAAAAAA gamble DAYOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shut your pie hole, Yumeko....ok so this is basically a repost since I just not happy as to how I did my review, and SOB, it only has 1 helpful hit. SHIT! So what we have here was the sequel of the previous "Kakeguri" anime, but unlike the previous season , this one adds an original anime character who goes by the name Rie Batsubami , who is called a "livestock" by the Momobami clan and lives the life of a servant, so basically I just don't know as to how her being an original anime character ... affect the manga raises question, cu'z it may not follow the manga at all, so how do I rate this anime as a whole?:
Story- fair 6
Fact:
It still has the same story plot setting in Hyakkaou Private Academy, a high-class elite school housing the children of Japan's most wealthy and influential people and with many future leaders and professionals among the student body, where instead of grades , it's gambling that decides a student's hierarchy, but in this sequel it has more to do with them "Bami's" headed by Terano Totobami who wants to unseat the current president Kirari Momobami ( or so we thought) through as usual in the game of gambling as to whosoever get's the most chip get's to be president.
The problem:
-Unlike the previous anime the some games here where just too complex to understand that one would find hard as to the rules of the game.
-The focus of the anime, wasn't much about the war of the "Bami's" it was more like Yemeko being put in part into a whole different situation where she doesn't just gamble by herself , but more like an indirect team effort where Mary is involve. Midari is involve, Suzu is involved, Sumeragi is involved, Kaede Manyūda got back into the action, Yumemi Yumemite get's to do her idol thing again and Yuriko Nishinotoin got into the action, so in other words the story plot was basically them playing the game that in most cases was devise by Terano.
-Thought it was good for the most part, there were just some episode that were too annoying , especially that Yumemi Yumemite arc and the Sayaka arc where I'd wish that she get's vanquished or dies from being Kirari's beyotch.
Art-Outstanding 10
Pros:
-It still has that intense facial expression , that one can feel the character's despair, anger and excitement, just like in the previous season.
Cons:
-Just don't be expecting to see any more of Midari's masturbation scene, in fact don't be expecting to see Yumeko pleasure herself as well, and definitely no Mary's panty flash.
Sound- Outstanding 10
Pros:
-The same seiyuus who did them characters voices, you can still feel the intonations and the inflections of the voices when they cry for despair, shout for excitement and moan for pleasure.
-The opening theme Kono Yubi Tomare by JUNNA and the closing theme AlegriA by D-selections both fit well to this anime.
Character- Poor 3
Cons:
-Too many antagonist, that were never utilized for the entire 12 episodes or weren't given the proper arc and I'm talking about them "Bami's ,"everything was more on Kirari, Terano, and Rei, a little bit for Miroslava, Miyo , Erini and Rin ... Also though Sayaka did entered into the gambling thing her role was more like that of diverting the plot of the anime from Yumeko and the election to her Vs Yumeko where she lost big time and , shit shit shit I would have preferred that she dies. But going back to them "Bami's" we got to know as to what kind of clan the Momobami's were, a clan that can be compared to that of the mafia, where everything is decide by wagering everything and anything, where it has it's own group of enforcers like that of the Honebami's , tough guys like the Obami's and assassins like the Inbami's, interrogators like Mushibami's, entertainers and talent like them Warukubami's and the higher ups like them Totobami's and Momobami's.
-We're led to believe that Terano pulls all the string about them "Bami's" transferring to Hyakkaou Private Academy, to unseat Kirari, but making a 380 degree turn of making Rei pull all the string was just too stupid of a train wreck, as to how a "Livestock" was able to outwit them "Bami's" in the first place, to me that's rather disgusting, since it would have been better of if another Bami does something outrageous to come up with a game that would get her more votes instead of Rei.
IMAO:
- Thought Rei Batsubami is an original anime character , her character would have been put to good used if she does Runa's role as a neutral judge of the election and just continue with them Bami's to unseat Kirari... I mean it would have been better that her clan the "Batsubami's" were a part of the Mombami clan were a family of neutral judges that oversee all manner were within the rules of the wager, instead of making her an antagonist who wish to unseat Kirari in order to get back in the Momobami clan.
Enjoyment- Good 7
Though, I did enjoy watching this 12 episode, i just can't help that this doesn't have the same vibe anymore , when , there where episodes that are seemly annoying, also, with all that "Bami's" around, I can't help that studio MAPPA and Director Hayashi, Yuuichirou has put too mach antagonist around that just adding them was waste.
Overall- Mediocre 5
Overall, this anime was still all about Yumeko's gambling addiction regardless of how one say it, so shoudl this have another season????? IMAO, no way Jose.

Feb 14, 2019 (I wrote it 3 years ago, my Eng was really bad back then. Now i edited.) Story: 2 I gave 2 because of one big reason and a lot of little reasons. Big reason is: Jabami played every person in president's team in 1st season. And we all thought "oh finally, now c'mon big fish." You know what's happened; more girl appeared as rivals. We turned back to that so called canon gamble episodes. Little reasons: >There is no teacher. Lol. >Every episode is same and unfortunaly we are not watching Doreamon. >There is no government (I hope so, cause it's worse if there is a government ... May 5, 2021 Hello there fellow anime fans..It's been a while so let me begin with a warning.. This review contains profound language cause i'm old and bitter..Don't whatever you do keep on reading if you are a snowflake. With that outta the way let's talk about Netflix's Kakegurui which coming from Netflix i assumed would be about underage girls twerking but SURPRISE SURPRISE..Ιt isn't. But if you want you some boobs and ass and crazy crazy stuff then this might be the one for you.. What is Kakegurui about then? It is about high school and gambling.. Now i'm not sure how this all works cause when i was in ... Mar 28, 2019 Honestly, the one thing that I'm more concerned about in this school more than anything is the validity of any kind of teacher or authority figure that's in this school. Because there are none of them, and this place is run on what's essentially pure chaos. Story: Following the explosive introduction of Jabami Yumeko at Hyakkaou Private Academy, the story in this season begins with the student council president opening up elections for the position of student council president, which in this school means that you're the dictator of this entire educational establishment where everyone's vote is counted as a single betting chip to gamble. (Not that ... Feb 18, 2022 "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned" I feel as if there needs to be more Gambling related anime that perform better than Kakegurui ever did. That being said, I don't think that this anime was very poorly executed, I just think that it missed base on a lot of specific areas. Story: The story could have been more gripping and interesting, but in the long run I feel like it really amounted to nothing and that the ending didn't really mean much of anything, but in this pseudo-slice of life, I guess there's not much I could be expecting. Art: Was for the most ... Jan 29, 2020 This review will be brief, and concise. Should I watch Kakegurui xx? No, I wouldn't recommend it. There was something...missing the whole season. It has a distinctly different feeling and direction than the previous season. Kakegurui S1 was a breath of fresh of air for me - it was new, exciting, crazy, and weird! Unafraid to be different amongst a sea of other airing anime. I really, really never knew what was going to happen next! Kakegurui xx -- as you might have figured already, is none of that. The premise of the entire season is introduced early on - which is fine, but it's ... Mar 31, 2019 Story is important. The characters were good, the sound was good, and the art was good, but the story was pretty bad. The story for this season consisted of many twists during gambling matches that made no sense and failed at amazing the viewer. They tried to create moments that make viewers go "Wow I can't believe they thought through all of this" but no they're just so incredibly unbelievable that your only thought as the viewer is: "Umm okay, I guess that happened". This season was almost a waste of time. I don't really recommend it and I have a feeling there won't be a third season. Sep 29, 2020 You should not take Kakegurui seriously as a story, or as a pool of moral questions. Gambling is just the on-the-nose vehicle to bring you a lavish, alienating, gorgeously reactive and opulent entertainment series with charcters who're never going to be poor, but are always going to be staking their conviction to their goals. I knew the show wasn't going to be a reality-ground show by the time I was three episodes into the first series. I just knew about Yumeko herself, I knew the anime was going to be expensive, and I knew it was going to be dramatic, and often melodramatic. The setting is ... Aug 29, 2020 Hm.. Well that lived out its welcome very quickly, didn't it. So, it's more of the same as before in season 1, but with a few changes, and I don't think they help. Also, Yumeko is still godlike in her gambling and predictions, and there's still no foreshadowing, and still no consequences to the result of any bet, really. So they introduce a long host of new characters, but almost none of them get explored, some of them have almost no screentime. There's a few cool gambles, and also a few not-nearly-as-cool. They introduce these voting-chips, which is ok I guess, but it reduces the stakes even more. The whole ... May 20, 2019 Story: 5 Art: 8 Sound: 7 Character: 6 Enjoyment: 5 Overall: 6 FAIR AND HONEST REVIEW(finish reading my review pls) C O N C L U S I O N The only reason that you might be able to enjoy or you might find curious to the point that you will be able to finish this one (at least for me) is 1. "how Yumiko will outwit her opponent", "In what way Yumiko humiliate her opponent. 2. "how Yumiko's opponent try to defeat her" lol 3. "You enjoy the sexiness(thicc) of Yumeko" (This is me haha) 4. "How the President is also beautiful" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 5. I ... May 20, 2020 To be honest I enjoyed the second season better than the first. The first season was more to Yumeko making a fool out of every single student council member each episode and the writers just writing her off as some psychotic yet genius gambling addict lazily. In contrast to that, the second season focuses more on a tension between the Momobami family branches and a deeper look into Yumeko's past and family line, although there wasn't much to explain about the Jabami household except for how her sister had become hospitalized due to gambling, and despite that, Yumeko still continues to gamble because she's addicted ... May 31, 2020 I watched the 1st season when it came out. I enjoyed it, gave it a 7 out of 10 and I was excited for the sequel. Stuff happened in my personal life and I only got around to watch the sequel today. Here's the review: Animation: the visuals are incredible. There was only a single occasion where CGI was used and it proved to be a wrong choice. Lots of colours and very detailed scenarios and characters. A joy to watch. Sound: pleasant but not memorable. Story: the premise is an election for the student council where each student gets 1 vote. How to get ... Jul 7, 2021 This season was not as good as the first season, for a few reasons. They had a good set up for Mary and Ririka to explore more of their story and relationship, but they didn't take it anywhere. I was really hoping they would because I thought it'd be an interesting peak into the student council and how the twins are. Once again, a few characters seemed kinda shallow and had no other purpose besides making the Momobami clan look like a decent amount of people. It was good, however, that they brought back and used characters like Runa, Itsuki, Yumemi, and Mary, to keep the shows feel ... |
