I binge watched both seasons and am hoping that they release a third season soon! I'd say that it's worth watching if you can keep up with all of the game information that's given with each gamble AND also if you're into overreacting characters. I watched an episode of the original non-animated series and the animated version does the movie a great deal of justice and more. Honestly if you find yourself critiquing it poorly, you should have done your research before watching it.
Just watching it made my heart beat faster in some situations, amazing animation and design.
Kakegurui is a Japanese anime series that premiered in July 2017 and is based on the manga of the same name by Homura Kawamoto. The setting is a private school whose visitors secure their social status by gambling.
"Kakegurui - Life is a Game" is very exciting with its various games of chance, but I couldn't get used to the sexualization of the characters at all, which ruined the anime for much.
It's a pity actually, because I think that without the perversions it could have been an exciting anime, like I think the anime could have potential bring back some Yu-Gi-Oh-Vibes.
Watch it if you have no problem with Ecchi-Content.

While it is interesting to watch, the story is simple and the villains one-dimensional. Good but lacking substance, Nothing new but has potential to be good.
Damn I just liked the thrill of it all and you know, you honestly don't have to understand poker here! The girl characters on this are rather interesting because they technically beat every opponents butt and of course they have split personalities. They go from being sugarcoated cutesy girls to being ultimate crazies by putting on ahegao faces. Yeah parents, please don't show this anime to kids.
Definitely if you like your psychological stuff and have a competitive side for a wild ride, this is definitely the anime series to watch!
