Kakegurui
Kakegurui is very much an anime take on the world of gambling. Shown through the dealings of the enigmatic Yumeko Jabami, the world and its characters live by the inherent risks of gambling, reveling in its towering highs and crushing lows. Each new day brings a life altering gamble, and whether its a simple game of rock paper scissors or a Russian Roulette guessing game, there is always a life-changing risk waiting to come down on whoever isn’t smiled on by luck.
Of course, gambling isn’t the only draw of this show. Boasting crisp visuals and over-the-top story beats, the show brings all the insanity of anime into the fold for a special kind of chaos viewers won’t want to turn away from. It may be some time until we get a second season, but if this opening act was any indication, it’ll be well worth the wait.
