Best Anime Coming to Netflix in 2019
Kakegurui Season 2 (Air Date: Mid-to-late 2019)
One of the bigger hits from last year’s anime offerings on Netflix, Kakegurui certainly isn’t lacking in an interesting premise.
Set in a high school where students resolve issues and establish their hierarchy through gambling, it follows transfer student Yumeko Jabami as she takes on the student council in more and more elaborate games of chance.
This includes everything from a social status defining game of rock paper scissors to a high-stakes tarot card drawing that could place Yumeko under the control of someone else for the rest of her life.
Each new twist on the different games of chance, and the ways in which protagonist Yumeko Jabami overcame them, only got more exciting as the series progressed. Fans were understandably enraptured by each new episode and couldn’t wait for more.
Luckily, a new season has already been announced and the property remains licensed by Netflix. It’s currently scheduled for a January premiere in Japan and will run through the winter season with 12 new episodes.
Less fortunate is that it will take time for the series’ dub to be produced, and due to Netflix’s binge style of releases, fans will have to wait until the full product is ready sometime later in the year.
