Really don't understand what the hate is about.

It might not be Kakegurui, but it still feels like a nice prologue to the main story when everything was a little simpler. The characters are nice, but Mary obviously has the spotlight (I don't personally care too much for the other characters). The animation is decent, and there are still very clever moments and the story isn't bad at all. There are a lot less cliched moments than I thought after seeing the review, as the show really has great moments.

Now, regarding the weird faces and overly erotic visuals from the original kakegurui. This show has nearly none of that; however, it still has the atmosphere of the original, so I didn't find myself disappointed due to the lack of weird faces at all. In my opinion, Mary Saotome makes up for all the negatives in this show.

I'd say only the first episode was a little rushed, but after that it's really just a decent show that doesn't deserve the hate. I don't usually like reviewing, but after watching the show and seeing all the hate it was getting I felt like it wasn't getting the justice it needs. Watch it! It's a perfectly decent spinoff.
