Kakeguri - best gambling anime? Hell no!

Kakeguri is ongoing manga written by Homura Kawamoto. The story is about students from Hyakkaou Private Academy, which is famous for turning into a gambling den. The best player stands at the top of the school.

The biggest part of this show are gambling duels, almost every episode contains a game with the main protagonist. Gambling is a basement of the series, but it`s the best anime about it? Maybe, but I present three alternatives with this same motive.

1. Death Parade

It`s kinda different anime but contains mind games and a bit of gambling. Unusual rules and dark climate make this series uncial, and definitely worth watching. The anime adaptation is from 2015 and was warmly reviewed by watchers.

2. No game no life

No kill, just play! Two main protagonists are the best players in the world, but living is too hard for them. What would be the best for them? Of course, world where through the game you can solve all the conflicts.

One of the best comedy in 2014, and what is more - unusual adventures with plot twists! 

3. Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor

If you want to watch something really dark is the best option. It`s not a comedy, but a story about a gambler who wants to break chains of debts. Kaiji has many dramatic, full of tears and emotional moments hard to watch. Its story about surviving, but also about friends and trust. In this category - masterpiece.
