 |
| Wonder if all matches will involve cheating, and if each episode will have the same formula. |
 |
| You can't even trust anyone in this show. Everyone's mess in the head. Hahaha. Ryouta's the only one I can really trust in the show; the rest is creeping the heck outta me. Hahaha! |

Fruitpie said: I don't care abot their faces, I'm here for the mind games only. But this aspect... well... leaves much to be desired. I hate to say this but I can't help but feel that I'm just too smart for this. Should stick to the quiz anime, I guess... There is mind games, but that's totally fine, really. I don't really get the "I'm too smart for this" thing, though. Is it because of how simple the games are so far? Well, we are only in two episodes so far, and many things do start out simple until a bit later (or maybe much later... or many never. lol), but if you feel like dropping, then that's fine too (though a shame). What is the quiz anime you're talking about, though? I'd love to take a peek. :D |

How much later? Nanamaru sanbatsu. Ah, so you do read the manga. It's been a while, but if my memory serves me well: But in any case, I hope it does get better for you. If not, then that's a shame, but understandable. Thanks for telling me the anime, btw. I'll check it out very soon. :) |

| The whole rigged card-game concept is getting a little repetitive, there was no difference between this episode and the first. Ultimately, this series is starting to feel like a crazy, short-lived adult version of Shokugeki with all these battles. |

The only similarity I've seen is that they've both cheated in the card game, Yumeko made them feel like wanting to play her again, and that they've used the same cheat they've used on her before, which eventually led towards their own loss. Don't know why my phone keeps double-posting things at times... |

Well, the sequence of events + even the emotions are almost formulaic. Both girls play nice to entice Yumeko to a game -> explanation of the game -> Yumeko loses a round or two -> opponent's attitude turns sour -> mocking facial expressions -> Revealed to have a trick up their sleeve -> MC tries to stop Yumeko who goes insane-> they play for some insane amount -> other girl breaks down -> council takes note. I doubt future battles will be any different. It only makes sense for the newbie to play on their terms which =/= a fair fight. |

| So far, so good. This was a solid adaptation of Chapter 2. |

I thought you've meant like how they've cheated, how Yumeko won and whether it was with luck or not, etc. Understandable, though it doesn't follow that sort of pattern all the time. No need to be sorry. In fact, I should be the one to apologize, since I'm lost and/or ignorant right now on something that seems so obvious and simple to you or in general. lol |

Touka__Kirishima said: I doubt future battles will be any different. You'd be correct. XD The enjoyment for me has always been how Jabami outsmarts her opponent as opposed to whether on not she'd win at all. How the anime (and manga) creatively present each battle is also fun to see nonetheless, given the show exaggerates on a lot of things anyway and doesn't take itself too seriously. I guess I have pretty high tolerance in that regard. |

I believe, in a game of luck where the main character is indifferent of the outcome, seeing through the opponent and emerging from the battle the more confident person is a larger victory to the viewer than actually winning it. |

BTW, I did check out the first episode of that quiz anime you've told me. It was an okay and interesting start. I've enjoyed it, but it was pretty basic, though. Well, it's only been the first episode. I think it has the potential that they'll spice things up more later on with more varied quiz games and whatnot. |

| Interesting episode Seems that Ryouta and Yumeko have become friends now which is nice. Hmm seeing Meari get treated like that was surprising. Guess losing to Yumiko has changed her position completely then. The insight into the caste and ranking system thats used in the school was interesting. So gambling ability trumps everything including grades eh. But one loss will cause your ranking to plummet eh. Truly a risky school. Hell of a way to push students to be good though. Even the student council in the school is eccentric lol. For a school that focuses on gambling the members of the SC must be pretty powerful. Meari's punishment i guess would have to be this severe given that she had that much backing from the SC. Yumeko's reaction on hearing the news sure was just her eh. I guess now she wants to challenge the SC as well. Watching the overconfident and rude Meari be reduced to this state sure is entertaining though. So the second game is essentially matching cards with a twist eh. A test of memory and luck eh. Wow this girl sure has a disturbing hobby. Hmm betting nails eh thats pretty unique. Hmm i see a high tech way of cheating at cards indeed. Its nice that Yumeko saw through this girl though. Yumeko's way of warning her opponents before defeating them though lol. Yumeko's perception skills though are really something. It looks like this win has garnered the attention of the whole of the student council on Yumeko though. |

| Probably my favorite series of the season so far, everything is so exaggerated and magnified including the psychological aspect that it's great xD |

| Great episode! One thing they added was the whole time stop thing. Giving the opponent to explain they're tricks and all. If you think this is impossible, wait till you get the later battles. It gets even more crazier than before. Saori Hayami really impressed me on her performance this episode :) |

| Ooooh. Great episode. I was so excited with the nail betting XD I hope it won't have the same pattern as always. :/ But it's fun seeing them gambling over another game. :3 |

| Lord, I want to see romance in this anime to see how MC will interact with such crazy girls. Especially with the Jabami, which looks like the insane daughter of Miyuki Shiba and Betelgeuse. At the same time, I hope that this role will also be able to show Saori Hayami as capable seiyu, as it was in his time with Yoshitsugu Matsuoka. |

Yumeko is the MC of this series. ^ Suzui is more like the audience surrogate, though he's still listed as a main character (which he is). His significance to the plot compared to Yumeko pretty much puts him behind her. I wouldn't mind romance between Yumeko and the cray cray girls of this academy tho. x'D |

If I recall, there were people saying before that the author stated on his twitter that he didn't plan on any real romance in the series (though that may change). I don't exactly remember why, but I think it's that he can leave it to the fans to believe what they want about his relationship with Yumeko or all of the characters' relationship with each other. |

| @Gala_Lion I know, but I meant Ryouta. Although I may be wrong because the adaptation made him a narrator. |

Well, Yumeko does not look like a girl who is interested in this. Or rather, who is interested in guys :D But still I'm scared to imaged her as a wife or mother. @Higanbana-chan Judging by the official art, we have more chances to see Mary / Jabami, lol. |

RobertBobert said: @Gala_Lion I know, but I meant Ryouta. Although I may be wrong because the adaptation made him a narrator. In the manga he is just the same he is only a MC on paper while Yumeko is the main protag and Mary the second MC of the series. all he does is do the narration and the commentary and give the 2 main girls support some times. |
