Not a minute and there's a gamble with yet unseen character :')
This show tries to stay in reality's boundaries while leaving them at the same time. Is it even possible to have a clan of families with the same (let's say) root but different prefix and being related? I can't imagine this occuring naturally.
Quite cool that they kept visuals of both opening and ending in a similar fashion.

So we get a load of new characters dumped in the show so that we get new opponents, seems rather obvious.

They can also bore off with the Yuri bate, it isn't Yuri and never will be so stop it Mappa. Not a fan of either the OP or ED. Episode was fine though not much happened.

Hell yeah, I have been waiting for crazy expressions and insane gambling. I am glad I did not read the manga to spoil myself.

Nice OP and ED, quite a lot of movement and colors. I still prefer the OP of its first season was a lot more vibrant and catchy.

It is funny how both OPs and EDs have a lot of yuri stuff, but it is rarely represented on the series.

I'm assuming they're somehow gonna turn the Tower gamble into the final gamble of the season then. It definitely is a gamble worthy of such and I hate that season 1 decided not to do it, but I have no clue how they won't make it feel forced in season 2.

Speaking of CGI there was a few in the episode as well. They were blended in not too bad but if you focus you can easily spot them, like when the two colored eye girl picks up the scissors from the table, her hand and the item was CGI.
In short, it's lower budget.


The hands when grabbing the cards and the cards themselves were CG in the first season as well. You're just noticing now because the scissors were also CG and didn't mesh well with the movements of everything else on screen.

It started well, its more the same, honestly i missed Yumeko a lot, but she is back for crazy gambles, as we see in this first episode!

Kirari called reinforcements and we got a lot of new characters, curious to see their gambles against Yumeko!

New OP and ED are also good, but first one obvious will be ever the best!

Only 6 minutes in we got our first psycho face woohoo
I would have called this a great first episode, but they forgot to resolve the guillotine situation before launching into a recap montage of s1 and then switching to Satsuki Kiryuin Kirari Momobami's naturals election.
The new ED is not at all gay
I can't wait for even more psych o lesbian gambling!

In all seriousness, I still love how yumeko plays mind games. I mean, who's to say she knows or maybe she doesn't know. That heterochromia girl doesn't know jackshit and maybe yumeko too. Idfk I like it

Why I felt a bit out of place watching this. I paused a lot looking at that blade cutting that finger.
I mean, I just can't stand to watch....

So I said, but I watched it till the end XD
Anyway, it seems somewhat lacking compared to first season, that feel that brought me to watch it in the first place.

Its still a solid 7 for me. Lets see how next episode gonna pan out. Oh and yes, I want to see Mary

After the great OP of last season, it's fair to say that this OP is a fail. Let's hope that we can't say the same about the rest of the series.

Hardly possible to like. Animation from Kakegurui should feel human and relatable. On that note, one would either go towards eroticism or disgust. Here the animation didn't express much. The Kakegurui's last season song(reanimated cuz' we got too much money on our hands or what, no material?) expressed how she is now more stable. Guess that is, she shows what she is capable of, at last, not an unexpected show of overpower compared to any other character.
We had 3 songs this time, all of them thoroughtly animated. Not sure what's the opening or ending, considering some shows had the only song after the whole animation. Here, 3. Let's have a gamble, yet I won't participate because I hold the old OP too dear. The animation companies are very hasty recently, pulling stunts like these ones.
Another thing that standed out whole episode was ... I really don't freaking remember Kakegurui's last episode of last season. How did it get here and why only at the end of the episode did we get ''what's happening"(or a somewhat excuse for it), throwing at us yet another animated song with neatly edited characters in moving shapes, missing the audience asking for actual PLOT . . .
As for foreshadowing and how did we get here, apart from the last 3 paragraphs above, we get a "School full of gambling, yeah." Thanks, much help. If this doesn't get better in 3 to 6 episodes(3 = Usually, becomes a good show), it's dead. Much like it felt, hollow.

Love the episode! Only thing I didn't like is how they added some flashback scenes and made the announcement at the end.

I think S1 should have ended with the announcement and let the game continue. They could have finish this match in this episode if they skip the announcement and flashbacks.

Anyways, It's good to see Jabami back at it again! Kinda forgot how Jabami truly despises Midari. Although I'm almost caught up with the manga(need to read Chapter 60). It's going to be crazy for sure!

Can't wait!

whelp and here I found this first episode of this so call sequel almost unwatchable and very uninteresting. Very uncreative tension and that villain must be joke. Also so much still shots especially the show constantly shows through the character's eyes.

Also the last part giving me vibes that we will see tournament arc. Hope it will be interesting very soon.

good to have this series back in anime form

as i love this series and one of the things i love the most is when the people so sure of themselves / smug gets owned in the end its always funny but yeah good to see its as amazing as it was in season one though im expecting even more crazy things from this season

with that said i love the new op as for the ending its nice but still cant compare to the ending in season 1 as it was epic as this one its as if they just tried to copy the ending of season 1 but just made it way less epic thought still nice though

anyway looking forward to watching through this season

Yumeko, Suzui and Ikishima met a girl named Erimi, that challenged them to gamble their fingers, they started to play a guillotine's game, where the one that cut the correct cord, is gonna make the guillotine fall, Erimi thought that she was safe due to a trap in the guillotine's edge, but started to doubt really bad. Kirari had a meeting with the student council and informed that there are gonna be elections for the new president, a guy named Batsubami Rei entered to the room and presented a bunch of people that ingressed to the school, members of Momobami's clan

The introduction of that characters at the end of the episode made me think that this is gonna be the same as the last one, Yumeko defeating every new character every episode. Despite that, this show is always entertaining.

Well, a much better intro than season 1.

However, the series still suffers from an annoying art style (no one makes those sorts of demented faces in real life) >:(
