Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor is way better as a gambling anime

does one outs count?

...

i wouldnt really count it as gambling anime

Kakegurui is ecchi fun, but Kaiji will always be the true gamburukino.

But it's not even gambling anime

It's the only gambling anime I've ever watched so I wouldn't know, but I think it's a really fun anime overall. Very reminiscent of Prison School for some reason.

Yumeko is cute too.

Kaiji is better in every way, including the waifus.

>t. normie
Not even close

Naw, I dont feel the stakes in it. It feels like the Protag is never really in danger. You know the Protag will always win and you watch it the battles unfold like a yugioh episode,

The games they play are retarded

You're either baiting or deserving of being permabanned.
The gambling are so shit and so predictable, at the start of the episode it was already obvious Yumeko would lose on purpose just to spite OwTheEdge, resulting in a draw.
What's even more pathetic was the thing about Suzui being right-handed contradicting everything we saw and the whole unnecessary mirror shit.

Kaiji is a lot better but still not great.

Nah, it's pretty shit desu. Kaiji is much better.

It's average when it comes to gambling. The characters are the ones carrying the show.

I honestly don't know why Sup Forums would cream its pants over NGNL but deem Kakegurui "gambling" complete shit despite both of them suffering from the exact same problems.

yes

One of them is edgy and the other is strictly nonviolent. Take a good guess as to why significantly fewer people like the edgeshit.

I am actually following this show this season. It's an 8 in my book, though calling it the best gambling anime ever made? This is bait.

Non violence sounds fucking boring. If I was in the NGNL world I'd try to find a way to kill myself ASAP.

you should make a Virgin gambler and a chad gambler meme

Sorry that you're so eager to get your nails ripped out and your fingers chopped off before getting poisoned to death. Those are terrible stakes.

>those are great medium rare stakes

The only complaint I've seen towards edgy are about the gun bitch in the last two episodes. Everyone else is complaining about the gambling.

The reason why Kakegurui is mediocre is because the gambling has no stakes. The gun skank is a major part of the issue, because from the start we know Yumeko isn't going to die. We know she's not going to get her nails ripped out. We know she's not going to lose a finger. We even know that a 300M debt carries zero weight because she has a ridiculous undefined bank size. It really isn't about gambling so much as the catharsis of seeing rich assholes getting their shit pushed in, and that's greatly mischaracterizing the anime.
Again, litmus test for babby's first x, just like Assassination Classroom and whatever else before it.

Agreed. But what I find even more offensive and disgusting is how easily Jabami gambles on sheer luck with no plan, especially in that last revolver game.
In the same situation, Kaiji would've made everything thing he could to avoid any possibility of him getting his brains shot. But badly-written Jabami goes on recklessly and only survives the first round because the revolver drawn was the empty one, meaning that she willingly threw her life on a 50% chance. And at the end we're supposed to forget about this hole and believe she keikaku'd through the gamble.
Also the sheer stupidity of "don't worry, with appropriate healthcare, you can most likely survive a shot to the head at point-blank from one of these huge-ass revolvers loaded with big unjacketed bullets".

No.
Yes.

This reminds me something that happened in Tower of God where "the smart character" decided to risk the death of everyone in the team with a coinflip multiple times only for it to work out in the end because of plot. What a shitshow.

You can't call this gambling when you already know what'll happen
>muh mc plot armor lol

That Sherlock Holmes scenario is something I would definitely see happening in No Game No Life

Well I mean technically people who gamble and go to casinos either have tons of money to waste or just don't give a fuck anymore. So yeah it's the best realistic gambling anime if there was a school made specifically for rich kids and gambling.

>I know nothing about gambling
Nah the vast majority of gamblers are addict who slowly dig their own grave, so Kaiji also wins on realism.

No, it's down there with Rio Rainbow Gate.

No. I like the artstyle, and it's a fun read to pass the time, but it's not a *good* manga since we always know the MC will win.

Eeeeh, it's not nearly as cool as say Kaiji.

For example, at the beginning of the show Yumeko beat Mary and turned her into a cat. She stated it very clearly that she can pay off her debt easily, it's just that she wanted to revitalize her social standing, but why should we care about her social standing in a school full of faceless nobodies besides Yumeko, Mary and school council?

It would've been cooler if she actually lost her nails to the cunt with cards, for example.

That being said, I dig the games, often times it's kind of like Kaiji but on drugs. Kaiji is all about trying outcheat the cheater in the game, while Yumeko when she spots a cheater prefers to cheat on equal ground, she doesn't mind being cheated on and is in fact disappointed when she sees cheater's sealing of cheating.

>Is it the best gambling anime ever made?

It's actually incredibly bad as a gambling anime. There is zero tension or sense of stakes. It probably has the worst gambling scenes I've ever seen.

What it does have is style and fanservice. It's a fanservice anime that just uses gambling as a prop.

youtube.com/watch?v=N2L4eFB6l98

Exactly. There's just no sense of danger in Kakegurui. Money bets mean nothing because everybody is impossibly rich and bets millions like they were dimes. And betting your life means nothing either because we know the main character cannot die. And not only the MC, but nobody else dies either. There's no sense of threat in any of this shit, so there's no reason to care. No sense that somebody might actually lose something that matters.

Kakegurui is shit as a gambling anime. It's for ogling at pretty girls in houndstooth skirts, with crazy eyes and detailed lipstick. Ask anything beyond that from it, and it can't deliver.

I don't think it's complete shit desu, because watching games themselves and characters cheating through their teeth is fun. Yumeko pinning them down with reaction faces material is fun too.

It's just shallow, but at least it has interesting games.

>It's the only gambling anime I've ever watched so I wouldn't know

Do yourself a favor and take a look at Kaiji. It may not be your style, but after watching it you'll know what we mean when we say Kakegurui's gambles have no weight behind them. Kaiji may not have pretty girls in it (there's only one girl and she's hideous), but the gambles in it grab your balls and squeeze until you scream. Fukumoto is the undisputed best ever at making shit tense.

Maybe?

no Sup Forums cream themselves over both
Mother's Basement does what you are accusing but he gave a reason

only other reason I can think of is that NGNL is a hikki-neet (and Sup Forums hates NEETs now) and Yumeko is a meme

Hey as if Rachel could every win at anything.

Jesus Christ I cant wait for the doujins.
Pretty much all the show is going to be good for aside from screenshots.

>undisputed best ever at making zawa tense

fixed that for you

These reasons are why I dropped a new manga series called Mei no maiden. There was a part where the main characters "stops" the antagonists method of cheating (not very well in my opinion, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms), and then proceeds to win 6 50/50 gambles in a row when the antagonist needed to only win like twice. And then somehow she could tell that the guy wasn't "the mastermind" because he was too "weak willed" and discovered that the maid next to him was her mother all along...for reasons.

Why is it so hard for gambling manga to not just jump the shark like that?

>I recommended this show to people IRL

>BOOOOOHOOOOO WAAAAAAAH
Cry more Kaiji cucks
Your literally who anime with weird art style will never be as popular as Kakegurui
Kys retards

So can some fill me on on mcedgy. So if she wants to die by someone else and loses on purpose how has she not died already? Has she not grabbed anyone else at all to play her gamble before Yumeko?

Literally nobody wants to play her.

So does Midari still has her damaged eyeball or did she completely remove it ?

If liar game had became an anime, it'd be the best with some modernization.

competently removed. Why have a useless eye?

>t.Geoff Thew

I like Kaiji and all, but all the whining in this thread is hilarious.

>She's too OP. Plot Armor. She always wins.

Like, did you guys not watch Akagi? Jabami is basically female Akagi, except rich. I mean honestly, you probably didn't watch it. Lets face it. Sup Forums isn't smart enough to understand Riichi Mahjong.

What about all the people she grabs and takes them down to the dungeon?

>ywn be Yumeko's personal sex pet
>ywn know the feeling of being dominated by Yumeko
>ywm

Removed I'd imagine.

She said she wanted it to be the President, but settled on Satan.

>Comparing Kakegurui to Kaiji in terms of popular
>Comparing a literal-who fanservice anime to the most well-known, definitive gambling anime series

I like watching Kakegurui, but it's not on Kaiji level.
I hoped you guys would actually talk about gambling anime, but no one even mentioned Akagi, what the fuck.

Cause an eye socket without the actual eyeball looks creepy

>I love being risky but I always win so I'll sabotage myself on purpose
sasuga, handicapped audiences like handicapped plot armor girl

Just report and ignore man.

MAXU! MAAAAAXUUUUU!

She only takes ugly girls in school and makes them beautiful.

Kaiji's pacing fucking sucks, couldn't stand it.

I don't know. The adaptation started off really well now It's just getting progressively shittier. Thanks MAPPA

Fuck off Kaijifags, true monster coming through

I don't know about gambling and all, but I just want to stick my dick inside the moist and saliva filled mouths of every female in this series.

I just picked up Akagi yesterday. As someone who has no fucking understanding of Mahjong at all, is it still worth watching? The OP is god-tier and Akagi is pretty hot.

young Ikishima is cute

Because to be frank, Akagi and Kaiji are the top tier of gambling. Fukumoto actually understands human psychology enough to get it and present a true gambler's creed. Second best I've seen goes to Legendary Gambler Tetsuya, but most of that is centered around the will power to cheat and isn't as good as Kaiji.

All the other gambling shows out there are just pure plot armor, where characters, even when all forms of cheating at the table are done away with, the MC just wins every single time for no reason, and then people get really haughty about their ability to win in a luck-based game.

should I watch Kaiji ? If so where do I start ?

Try to read up a bit, but it's 100% still worth watching.
It's a lot of mind-games, so most things are explained in internal monologues.

Yeah, muh dick. They are going all out with the close ups shots.

What I don't understand is why everyone feels the need to be so defensive about Kaiji?

Kaiji is great, we all know this. I say just let Kakegurui do its own thing, if it wants to be a shounen-esque fight manga with cute girls then that's fine as far as I'm concerned.

Some you guys act as if Kakegurui being popular is going to somehow make Kaiji end or something. It's not going anywhere, we can all still enjoy Kaiji.

Season 1, silly.

>tongue piercing
>cute

Degeneracy at its finest.

...

>tfw got into all of FKMT's works thanks to Kaiji
>There will never be an anime adaptation of Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa
It's not fucking fair.

Shit taste, Ikishima best girl.

Ugly.

Hhhhnnnng

Not sure who's worse, the defensive waifufags or the obnoxious Kaiji animeonlies

Shitposters trying to sell Kakegurui as being Kaiji with cute girls are doing a disservice to everybody who doesn't know better, which is followed by retards who unironically think it's "god tier" when it isn't even in the same genre.

Sup Forums IS pretty pleb.

>Jabami is basically female Akagi
no

Would you stick your dick in that mouth if there's a 50/50 chance that it has herpes?

Of course, the risk makes it more exciting.

>"MC always wins"
>"MC is never in danger"
>"there's no tension"
>"muh realism"
You ordinary brainlets have your priorities all wrong. Decision making >

You know Akagi is living if you've read Ten, but it's still tense af. Kakegurui would never be as tense even in a gamble with actual stakes.

But most importantly it's about mindgames and development, which Akagi have.

Without being an expert (or maybe even intermediate level), you can already feel the insanity in Akagi's match with Urabe__

If you count manga, you'll probably like Ten and to a lesser degree, Gin to Kin. Most people like Ten for it's final 3 volumes, though. I was in awe for the out-of-the-box solutions and the characters' gutsy decisions and strategies, instead, and at the MC's final match, I was worried about how the MC would solve the problem before him. I also liked how it contrasts with how he was in the beginning of the manga.

just give me Ten and Gin to Kin

>She only takes ugly girls in school and makes them beautiful.

Speaking of which. That's what I've been wondering about. Why does the Edgelord Bitch have an entire personal army of hot sluts always following her? They're noticeably sexier than anyone else's "minions". Why are they like that? She's certainly not like them, she's the ugliest girl in the whole anime by far.

First off, there's a shitload of tension in Akagi. FKMT knows how to do gambling shit right.

Secondly, Akagi is invincible, but he's invincible done right. We see in great detail how he plans and dismantles the game situation and then the opponent's mind piece by piece. It's not at all like Yumeko, who's borderline retarded but protected by plot armor. Yumeko never does anything particularly clever, she just wins because she's superhumanly lucky or has some other convenient superpower like eidetic memory.

>All the other gambling shows out there are just pure plot armor,

I think Liar Game is pretty good as far as gambling manga go. Not as good as Fukumoto of course, but who the fuck is.

Honestly, I'm not sure I would really call Liar Game gambling anime. There is very little gamble in there. I think Liar Game belongs to the Batsu Game category.
