I'm honestly surprised people are rating this series so high. I'm going to be one of the only ones who rates it this low lol All in all, very disappointed in this. Had high hopes for it since the designs were awesome, unlike the other new LL anime, but my hopes were crushed. (I come off as a game elitist sort of but I honestly barely played the game since I hate the mechanics. They're weird).

Story: Absolutely nonexistent. Each episode is about a different character, which you would think would be good, but it isn't. The lack of an actual story lessens the impact ... and appeal of the characters. I'm not given a reason to care about the series itself since its basically just an ad for the game. Also the drama doesn't even last and is only character related which makes it even more boring to watch. Nothing connects these episodes.

Art: WHY did they use new art instead of the OG LL art? It's not bad but the previous art was just so much better.

Characters: I have a hard time liking any of the characters outside of Kasumi and Shizuku. Maybe I'm the only one but I feel like I'm not given any reason to like any of the characters IN THE ANIME. The character stories in the game are so much better in my opinion and allow you to like the character. But the anime just does one episode on the character and then puts them to the side.

Sound: Oh god. I never liked any of Niji's songs even in the game (except for a select few) and the same is for the anime, except I like absolutely none of the songs. Okay, I like Setsuna's music, but I absolutely hate her character so I chose not to include her.

First time reviewing so please bear with me.

I loved watching this anime and seeing Yumeko utterly destroy people by gambling. However, there is one huge problem (at least, for me). That would be the "MC" Suzui Ryouta. From the very beginning he's been the cliche MC who wants to protect the girl since he thinks she's so weak. After being rescued by Yumeko, he STILL wants to protect her despite the fact that she is a gambling addict and won't listen to his pleas. This is seriously irritating. He's seen Yumeko completely ruin people through gambling yet he thinks that SHE is the one ... who needs to be protected. Yes, he has helped her sometimes but that doesn't change this fact. And after her friend group grows, he, yet again, wants to protect her from gambling when she is clearly obsessed with it and is the one who usually instigates it or accepts a match. Besides this, the anime was great, with the exception of the lackluster ending. The story was great but they could have made the MC more likable and could have improved the ending (unless there is going to be a second season).
