| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, Maeri got her desk vandalized as she had lost her previous gambling match. I still feel bad for Ryouta though since he's getting mocked constantly. We got more info dump on Kirari, another prominent student at school. I'm not surprised now that Yumeko is the big talk at school. The game this episode felt more tricker as it has more options with the cards. Also started to find the OST of this show to be pretty catchy. Yumeko's opponent Itsuki is still very intimidiating imo. What a lovely fingernail collection!  My favorite moment this episode is still Yumeko intimidiating her opponent with those lovely eyes though |
 |
| i love how yumeko nightmare fuels her opponents even tho all she wants is to gamble with high stakes for both her and her opponent cuz feeling the pain alone is not fun <3 |
| Yumeko faces are so good. I can't have enough of it. We already got some introduction of the next game in this episode. Hype for Ep 4. |
| Man the 2nd arc Gambling is too twisted to risk by ripping your nails in exchanged Can't believed that Sumeragi gets fall into her mindless trick to raised the bars But in the manga her face while she get taunted brutally, is so horrendous as hell + Points for the Hideous face (I'll be adding and count one of them by episodes) The Next Part of Scenario is even better (Can't wait Midari the sociopathic M gambler after that) More arcs to wait 5/5 |

Yeah well at least they give her more screen time this episode then that she did in the manga xD |
| What happened to Saotome is awful, but she deserved it. Yumeko again, recklessly, accepted the match. Huh, Saotome now feels the humiliation of being a Pochi/Mikey. And they really make gambling look interesting and fun. The new girl is cute though. But wanting to collect nails? That's weird. And holy shit, Momobami looks scary. |
 |
| Okay so... I absolutely love gambling/game series in general, but I really feel like they're overplaying the "craziness" of the characters here... like it just feels plain unnatural with the exaggerated reaction faces and whatnot. Also it feels like it's mostly the MC winning due to being super OP rather than the solutions to winning the games themselves being all that clever. Idk, I still like it but compared to the likes of Kaiji or Liar Game this is a level or two lower thus far |

Well to be fair she only followed the rules of the school or I should say the system you see to stay on the top of the school means you need to be a sadistic psycho that is good in gambling. So you can't really blame Mary to what she had done in the first episode. HaXXspetten said: Okay so...

| I'm loving Yumeko's reactions and her face. Saotome getting bullied and her desk being vandalised. Felt kinda bad for her but she sort of deserved it. At least she knows how it feels to be treated like that. Yumeko manged to outwit Sumeragi in her game. But Sumeragi collecting human nails was kinda disturbing. Nice collection though... I guess. |

Their will clever battles but they will come together with the facial expressions and psycho girls :D |
| This series is ridiculous, but that is why is so awesome. A girl who likes to collect nails of the people she beat? I cannot wait for the next crazy shit. The scene where Yumeko rekts Sumeragi and makes her cry due her sheer madness was gold. |
 |
| Oh god, I absolutely loved this episode. That little bit of "twisted" and over the top in this show just pulls me in somehow. Also, Saori's performance is just great. |
  |
| Crazy. Yumeko's faces in this were terrifying, holy fuck. |
| DAMN this show is so crazy & ridiculous. Saotome a Mike now. Kirari & the Student Council are a crazy bunch. Sumeragi collecting human nails. Ahhhh so creepy. Yumeko figuring out Sumeragi's cheat. DAMN her eyes are so freaking scary. WOW Saotome over 40mil yen debt. Yumeko just can't stop gambling. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Being Saotome is suffering....The bitch kinda deserved it but she's digging a pretty deep hole for herself now and I pity her But apart from that, I am now officially certain that everyone in this anime apart from the male MC is a fucking psychopath lol and I love it xD Saying that this school is fucked up is an understatement lmaooo Jabami continues to prove why she is best girl and I thoroughly enjoyed watching her make her next victim grovel and cry.....Jabami is love, Jabami is life <33333333333333 |
| This show has no restraint. Everything is so magnified. I love it. I was worried about the exposition being difficult to follow, but, while being a little heavy, it hasn't been overwhelming. And it's no wonder the OP is so stylish. I just learned that the OP was done by Sayo Yamamoto (Michiko to Hatchin, Yuri!!! on ICE), one of the best anime directors working now. The main director, Yuuichirou Hayashi, is no slouch either. A great team worked on this. 5/5 |

| Crazy stuff, BUT I LOVE IT! Next weeks episode will be very intresting as |
 |
| RIP saotome a.k.a mike with 50.000.000 yen debt, I expect some yakuza to get her to do some forced labor at some excavation site underground hmm and i noticed gin-san voice! |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Duuuuude, Yumeko went full-blown terrorizer! I couldn't stop laughing from how amusing her assault was. Additionally, seeing the blonde from the first episode, now degraded to an equivalent of a peasant, falling in debt even further was gratifying beyond belief. Wouldn't be surprised if her subsequent failures as a gambler became a running theme throughout the show. 💯/10 episode for humiliation of the blonde and a solid laughter after the double memory match. |
 |
| This episode was way weaker than last week's. In the first one I was already questioning why don't these people just transfer or, get this: not play at all if they're not into it. It can't be a mandatory thing to gamble in the first place. But in this episode? Oh boy. That blonde bitch should be in a hospital for the mental, not studying and betting papa's money during breaks lol Also, the game wasn't that interesting to begin with. I hope next week onwards the games end up at least being fun to watch. ehhh I never rated an episode before lole but if I had to, I'd say 4/10 for this one |
 |
| Looks like the anime will be adapt the manga quite well, looking forward to the next episode. HeicPy said: can you tell me MC guy(Suzui, Ryouta) going to do something or he is just afk through out the whole anime? He won't really have a bigger presence than he has now, Yumeko will do most of the gambling. |
 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
| yumeko is the reincarnation of beatrice confirmed |
| That was pretty nice again. Collecting nails, seriously ? xD That's pretty twisted, but that what's so awesome, really love the over the topness in this show, everyone is just downright crazy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| lmao, collecting nails? what a freak. But this was a great episode. Jabami fucking rekt Sumeragi ez pz. Cant wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Can't wait for the next episode! I'm liking it so far, and Jabami is such an awesome character ^^ |
| Mary kind of deserves the shit she's dealing with tbh, but damn almost 50 million in debt. That's crazy. Seeing Jabami destroy that spoiled cheater and make her cry was very satisfying. The game they played wasn't super exciting, but I liked seeing Jabami act like she was fucked before getting all those matches in a row. I'm looking forward to seeing Jabami take on these other members of the student council. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Wow. I can already see that they've placed a lot of heart into this anime. Only took me two episodes to see that. lol Anyways, this episode went a lot better than I expected. Hell, they actually made Sumeragi even creepier with her nail fetish than how she was at the moment in the manga. They did a great job with her, the game, Yumeko again (she looked so devil-ish here, like in the manga)... pretty much everything. Even the music is pretty nice. I don't often say this sort of thing or even focus on it when it comes to anime for that matter. If they keep going at this rate, I really don't see how I'll rate this whole thing any lower than an 8. I'm really liking how this is turning out. Thank you so much so far, MAPPA. |

| Like a chorus of a popular song here in my country says: "She is pure ecstasy". The anime is very good, and on top of that i really like card-games, and if it weren't enough, Bushiroad and Square Enix together. I play Cardfight Vanguard, and Final Fantasy is my favorite game series. I've already fallen in love with Yumeko. I can't control my heart, i love "twisted" characters. EDIT: Convinced to read the manga, since it seems the anime will only have 12 episodes. |

| good episode again! i'm now convinced to read the manga! poor saotome tho i hope yumeko saves her 5/5 |
 still life: pink roses |
| Holy s&#$, this adaption is turning out wonderfully. I'm enjoying this as much as I've enjoyed this in the manga, and it has only be two episodes so far. I really want to just rate this a 9 right the hell now, but I can't. I must be patient. I finish whatever I'm watching first, then I rate (unless it's extremely long). That way I give my most complete and overall opinion towards it. |
| 5/5- Welcome to Yumeko Country! I'm also impressed with Saori Hayami's voice acting. She had a lot of range this episode. She went from: -Soft Spoken and Polite -Desperate and Nervous -Confident and Intimidating -Deranged and Happy -Lifeless God, this episode was just fantastic and fun. This adaptation is splendid. Yumeko is truly more terrifying than her manga counterpart due to how well they are doing this show. The thunder and rain sound effects, the lighting and voice acting. Jesus this was awesome in my opinion. The next few games are going to be great as well. Those faces are excellent. On to the next! Regarding the next match: |

| Actually feel bad for Saotome, might check out the manga to see what happens to her. |
| I am surprised by how much I actually enjoy this. It has a very ruthless and cruel nature to it but the drama and suspense keep me glued to the screen and wanting to watch more. Plus Jabami is just an awesome characters. |

| So the key to beating her is to just never play the same game twice. Easy. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
