Kakegurui - Das Leben ist ein Spiel

Just watching it made my heart beat faster in some situations, amazing animation and design.

This is one hell of a unique show and the first season is done incredibly well. Having a main protagonist who is a chaotic neutral (not bad, not good, and unpredictable) is fun. The first season was simple yet complex enough to really pull me in. It has great character development and many "OH DAMN!" moments that make it stand out. I'd easily give the first season a 9/10.

The second season was decent, but not nearly as polished. Way too many new characters, and the bets were either convoluted or meaningless. Possibly worth a watch, but the ending was completely lacking.

Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 5/10

Series as a whole - 7/10

Watch the first season and if you really love it, go into the second season with lowered expectations.

Lovely show. Yes it is great for passing time but it's nothing close to amazing. I would say watch it if you have time to spare but dont give it a second thought if not.

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.

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.
