Anime subcategory: 'Looks ARE Deceiving.' Looks all cutesy and innocent on the outside, but actually is nothing like it. So just based on the cover, don't give these for your kids or younger relatives to watch. Contains psychological, horror, and maybe even some gory elements.

Kakegurui

"High Stakes Game" anime without any actual high stakes. In Pachislo, they play slots with tokens, not even real money, and the only goal is to be the 'King' of slot games. In Kakegurui it's just billionaire girls playing with money that has no weight at all, it's no big deal if they lose.
