Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler -
 Serious question. Kakegurui seems to have a somewhat decent amount of polarisation in this community, but I don't get what is there to dislike with this. I watched this all in like 2-3 days which is rare for me who can't even watch anime without having a stroke due to boredom or length or some other external factor. Did you like this or not? What were your reasons? |
| The Male Protagonist. This guy is barely even a character and is completely irrelevant to the show. And second season is a huge downgrade. |

And second season is a huge downgrade. Yes, but when someone is supposed to be a protagonist, there are some expectation towards that character. Just like nobody would hate on Sakura if she wasn't part of the main trio. They should just make him a side character and it wouldn't be a problem. Crusaders would also love this. |

| The whole orgasmic thing was more annoying than fun and the matches lacked suspense. Maybe Casino Royale spoiled me too much. |

| for me it was the stakes of the bets and the games themself. It definetly felt like the games got less intense the longer the show went. granted i only watched the first season a long while ago, but i distinctly remember that the season finale was incredibly underwhelming. |

Piromysl said: Sometimes this is true, sometimes you have things like harem anime or shounen where characters aren't exactly the most engaging but can still have a good anime overall. If a character establishes their personality and motives early on then I don't see how it can be easy to get disappointed easily.NextUniverse said: True but who the fuck actually cares about him lol?

| I LOVE THIS SHOW. I wouldn't call ryota a main character, in fact I think that only Yumeko is a mc. this show is revolved around her and her alone. one way this is shown to me is that we can hear everyone else's voices in their heads except yumeko. shes special and the only mc in the series. other than that the sexuality is a but strong at some points but it's a great show none the less |

I've only seen 3 eps of Akagi for something similar.They try to make a tension context but it's hard when the MC is basically invencible in almost every situation. I think you can have some fun with this anime but isn't that great imo, if you liked this type of gambling anime i would recommend Kaiji to you. And btw, the second season gets better |
| First season was entertaining. I liked the concept and despite most of the girls being total bitches, I think I never felt irritation towards any of them. Also Mary ♥ And let's not forget the fact of having Hayami Saori orgasming in almost every episode. Second season was kind of a letdown tho. Didn't like the arcs it adapted. |

And btw, the second season gets better It's super intense and the stakes feel much more severe! and unlike kakegurui, the MC is written in a way that makes you believe he could lose at any moment. It is a genuinely good show |

What were your reasons? 1) The story is mediocre and doesn’t go anywhere. ⠀ ⠀ 2) the male protagonist is awful. ⠀ ⠀ 3) Yumeko Jabami has to win everything by force because she is the female protagonist, literally ⠀ ⠀ 4) the plot twist of the second season is ugly, banal, and doesn’t go anywhere ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 5) everything is mediocre, the show is carried by the games, games are cool but everything else is empty ⠀ ⠀⠀ |
| The fact that it's pretty terrible when it comes to the gambling aspect. It might be fun if you only care for girls getting turned on by risk but not much else. Personally, having watched Kaiji, an infinitely better gambling anime recently, I struggled to even finish the new season. |
| this is an add on to the other post I did on this thread. I get that when you break it down, the shows plot was kind of trash when it comes to repetition. some characters were rly boring but others were great. you see, for me the one main thing that makes a good anime show is that I watched it, and I enjoyed it. |

| Unlike Kaiji, most games in Kakegurui are bad. |

Saimatsu_Fan said: There's nothing wrong the 2nd season lol what's up with this threads 2nd season fell off completely, introduced a ton of new things and used them throughout the entire span of the season without fully elaborating on their existence of them. Even Kakegurui Twin does a better job lol. |
