The girls aren't nearly as sexy as best girl from Akagi

Not aots but entertaining regardless

Bitches be crazy

...

Author only know how to draw one face - the manga

Entertaining, but shallow, manga that has some cool ideas every now and again. One of it's biggest strengths is strong use of perspective and strong line work that help emphasise good art work, which is highly sexual.

The anime is ok, worse than the manga due to worse art, and odd directing choices which undermine a lot of the interesting angles/ perspectives in the manga. It has a pretty weak sound track, and it fails to build up massive moments in the same way the manga did.

>The whole idea is that it's a school full of high stakes gambling
>All antagonists are female except one
>That male is literally the only one who's allowed to suffer the consequences of his gamble in any way, shape or form
>He also happens to be one of only two major antagonists who played fair
That really ruffles my jimmies because muh cute girls can't suffer consequences for their actions because muh cute girls. Other than that it's bretty gud and despite that it's AOTS.

Not sure if I would rather fuck Mary, Yumeko or the President.

The faces reminded me of Shiwasu no Okina so I appreciated that

I want pet her.

I think it's silly how people are worried that Akagi is doing a new gamble just before the ending. It's pretty clear it's just a context for one of the white suits to spot him and bring him to Washizu's deathbed for a final conversation.

Genderbent Washizu is the cutest crazy-girl and would've improved Kakegurui by 1000x

I want her to hop on Suzui's dick, ride him until he's sore and right when he's about to cum present him with six pills. One of them is a morning after pill, the other five are harmless sugar pills. Which one will he choose?

When are the games going to be fair? literally all the chapters have atleast one or two cheats in the bets

It was one of those anime that was incredibly fun to watch, but the more you think about it, the stupider you realize it is.

The high school is supposed to be focused around gambling, but instead of maximizing the fun of gambling by prolonging their ability to have fun, i.e., by betting conservatively and playing games that are fair enough that they can do them every day, every student bets tens of millions of dollars per hand, routinely going into debt far beyond what they have, and the loser ends up in so much debt that they can never hope to pay it back.

When normal people in civilized countries meet up with their friends and play poker, they don't bet their cars and homes. They bet $20-200 per game because losing that much may sting, but they'll still be able to come back the next weekend to have more fun at the table. Japanese people simply don't know this because they've never experienced it.

The story isn't about characters who have fun gambling. It's thinly-disguised propaganda to persuade Japanese otakus to somehow rebel against the coming legalized gambling coming to the country. See:

Suzui was cute.

>men suffer and die when they screw up
>women get embarrassed or have to marry a rich guy
Just like with real life financial problems

maxu maxu maxxxxuuuu amirite

...

>women get a free pass and don't have to deal with the consequences of their actions
So, just like real life.

AKAGI

blue hands down

I love how those two pretty much mirror each other.

>meh face and huge tiddies
>meh tiddies and best face
Can't be a coincidence.

I hate Kaiji that's my opinion

...

Good point. This post made me think (no meme intended). I'm now forced to compare it to the other elite school anime that aired this season (Classroom of the Elite). In that anime, we clearly knew why that point system was in place and could easily imagine how it would help the elites prepare for life after school. In Kakegurui there's nothing of the sort: there's no explanation for why the gambling is made legal or how it serves the elites in any way, shape or form. Half of the time the show forgets it takes place in a school.

Kaiji is better

fuck you

>Classroom of the Elite
I didn't like that either, but I also didn't watch it. From the first episode, it just seemed like it was going to be another Mayoiga type of anime where the purpose of the story is basically to vicariously torture your high school bullies by way of watching caricatures of them suffer on the screen.

Kakegurui struck me in the same way that anime often strike me when the author is out of his depth and relying on stereotypes and myths for his information, which often happens when the focus of the anime is guns, drugs or other things that they just don't have in Japan.

Kakegurui didn't come out as a gambling anime. A good gambling anime would have been kind of like Saki or any other card game/table game sort of anime, just with betting to make the game interesting. Instead, Kakegurui came out as a generic battle academy sort of anime, with mid tier bosses being defeated in an episode or two episode arc while working their way up to the last boss.

The fact is, the author just doesn't understand gambling well at all because he's never done it. That's why he made such fundamental mistakes as allowing the characters to cheat and bet more money than they own. I remember I was still in elementary school when I realized that card games aren't any fun if everyone cheats, and that it's only fun to play with money if I bet low enough amounts that, even if I lose the game, I can still play again tomorrow. If the author had played a card game ONCE IN HIS LIFE with money, he would understand those things too.

They're sisters.

Looks like forgettable garbage, I bet they don't even have an amazing sound artist that got caught with weed.

>inb4 kakegurui composer gets arrested for keeping weed and gambling anime is stigmatized so no studio will ever produce another gyamburu anime ever again

Beautiful manga art,good anime adapation.
Absolutely love how the mangaka draws the eyes

They're not sisters.They are distant relatives

What do you think about a crossover?

Maybe a.... hentai crossover?

That would be every Akagi/Kaiji doujin but worse

Not FKMT/10. No but seriously, the show and manga are terrible except as fap fuel even if you don't compare it to anything else. What's the point of "high" stakes drama when the characters suck and they never really suffer any consequences for their defeats? Also, anything with a school setting should start with a score deduction as a matter of principle.

Best girl.

>sits like a slut dyke
Fuck off.

>sits like a slut dyke
what ?

...

>dykes can't be sluts now
What are you, a racist?

She isn't a dyke slut
Ikishima is pure !

dyke sluts don't sit like that

...

Well look at you mister fancy pants, where did you get your degree on dykeology, may I inquire?

Anime

RIP: Yumeko

pls Washizu don't di

(it's interesting to me, how that guy wasn't saved in the end because he failed to do what Washizu told him after the match ended. It was also pretty ballsy from Washizu to deal into his hand, knowing that he would hesitate and miss the chance to finish him)

>implying Akagi would bother with that slut
He's a real human bean, not a dumb gambleslut

Akagi would destroy Yumeko, but given his slight nihilistic bend, I think he would find her either interesting or repulsive. Either way she would make an impression.

Yeah that kind of pissed me off too desu. He seemed like the only normal person too. Wasn't smug or fetishistic about the whole thing.

For me, it would be more optimal for the better players to slowly drain money from their opponents (like you suggested), and then finish them off with a big win (since by then you won't be able to milk them anymore); it would be even better if you could invest the money from your wins, but in that case, it might be more optimal to drain large amounts of cash from other players at once.

>When normal people in civilized countries meet up with their friends and play poker, they don't bet their cars and homes.

Maybe manga/anime is a way for escapism precisely because they (normal people) wouldn't bet their cars and homes. Maybe most characters from Kakegurui wanted to either destroy their competition, and/or use them as a staircase for their success. Pic related wouldn't be about that, it would be about a secondary character who's desperately trying to clear his debt before going to sleep with the fishes (thus, a different motivation for betting so much), and the MC's gameplan of getting rid of him quickly (now that might be related to Kakegurui) and afterwards, slowly drain money from the richer opponents before going for a big win.

>Fun to watch

Yes having keys dangling your face as women makes the aheago face in every fucking scene is very entertaining.

It was okay. Fun to watch but the ending really put a damper on the thing, and made me realize there was never any real risk at all in this anime.
I checked out Kaiji after this and it's a hell of a lot better in every regard except being a sexy slutfest.

>Kaiji
even blind people can see it

Its not really that stupid. The school isn't about gambling. It's about high stakes gambling, fighting for power and surviving in a corrupt environment. The president specifically states she only get happiness from watching people struggle for the top only to lose it all. Also note that we mostly only saw the student council. Its not too much of a stretch to assume that the average student does gamble conservatively. It was probably a lot easier to do this before the president came along too.

There would never be enough of them.

you're right, it's only fun if you're not an actual fag

You must be a fag if you think any of those ahegao faces are attractive. They're more attractive in the manga, sure but you can still find better ahegao faces in hentai where actual sex is happening.

>You have to be a brain dead 14-year old to appreciate this

Sorry, I masturbate like an adult, and look for shows that don't need to shove pointless drivel in my face.

wow great argument there fagtron, sure convinced him with those hot opinions

>2001 Space Odyssey is sooooo boring, it should have big tits and moaning anime girls thrown into it, and if you don't like that you are gay.

prez is CUTE

I want to hug Ikishima.

Somehow this would be an epic anime if the genders were reversed and the proper antics with it.

No

Just watch Kaiji.

I know, thats why I said it. Kaiji/Akagi/OneOuts/LegendofKoizumi/etc

Male characters just make for better insane highstakes games. Female roles in this just isn't the same.

Well it COULD work, but everything just gets side-tracked for sexyness and the main focus becomes being a smug gamblewaifu.

Washizu will always be the best gamblewaifu

I can't believe Akagi is fucking DEAD

He's not dead. He lives in our hearts.

I wish there were more doujin

Yeah more doujins with some old fat ugly piece of shit fucking her .
nah fuck that

shot through the heart and you're to blame

>Go to a Discovery thread on Sup Forums
>HURR DURR THE ORVILLE IS BETTER

>Go to a Kakegurui thread on Sup Forums
>HURR DURR KAIJI IS BETTER

You fags need to give it a rest. People can enjoy things without having to compare it to anything that's even superficially similar.

Yeah! It would be great if kaijifags and kakefags could post in the exact same thread without any shitposting or arguing.

Sorry the truth hurts, user.

>find this at your doorstep
what do?

Disappointing finale. They decided to go original anime ending and they executed it awfully.

Give I-PIN

>going on Sup Forums

Why is he so unironically cute?

I want to cuddle with Midari

Shit

Last chapter of Akagi better be a timeskip to Akagi's suicide with the first thing he sees after dying is Washizu waiting for him at a mahjong table.

Take a shot everytime someone in Ten says "that's crazy"

Needed more analogies to go with the reaction faces.

...

He's gonna get fingernail girl to bail him out though.

Do they even plan to release the soundtrack besides OP and ED? I couldn't find any info about it whatsoever. Even BDs on official website don't list soundtrack as included, only some drama shit and creditless OP/ED.

What chapter

Source? It's not from the manga is it?

is that a benis?

Uh no
