Kakegurui Season 2 is Here (Review)

The new anime season is here for good and i couldn't just continue with my everyday life schedule without checking on it. Turns out we have some new and interesting anime this year as well as new seasons for existing known ones. Today i am gonna talk and review Kakegurui's second season!

General info

The first season of Kakegurui had 12 episodes and the studio behind it was the known Studio MAPPA. Exactly the same thing will apply for the second season, both keeping the same studio and having a total of 12 episodes. The genres of this anime are Game, Mystery, Psychological, Drama,School and Shounen. 

Plot

The plot of season 1 is that there is School different from the other ones, in which mostly rich kids are attending. The school is suppose to prepare them from the reality out there and that's why we can divide it in 2 major teaching curriculums (curricula?). The first one is the everyday subjects like in every school and the second one which takes place after the first one comes to an end is the Gambling Den!

In the Gambling Den students use actual money to Gamble, or other things they have and they can even bet their own life in a way, thus becoming something like slaves to the winners. The whole thing is suppose to give them the knowledge of money, how to use them and ofc how to manipulate others in order to achieve whatever they want. To oversee all this there is a council of students who are the best ones regarding manipulation and gambling.

One day a new and beautiful girl named Yumeko Jabami enters the school and soon many students try to take her money via gambling and generally make her a slave. Yumeko though not only beats them but apparently she is a bit crazy and she likes to gamble a lot. She doesn't gamble for money, just for the thrill of it.

Plot Of Season 2  

In season 2 the President of the Council Kirari Momobami who i bet is a psycho in par with Jabami calls representatives of her family (think of it like a major clan, with sub-clans inside) and issue a new type of gambling in which the winner becomes President and rules over the school and ofc the world as she/he will have every rich students under her/his palm. As you can imagine we gonna see some crazy gambling games once again with Jabami leading the way!

What's Good About The Anime

To begin with i don't this anime is something for the average viewer or someone who wanna watch his/her first anime. In a way it will feel a bit weird to them and a bit "WTF am i watching now" so my advice is to have spent a little bit of time watching anime and not only the most known ones. 

Having said that, the anime is awesome, the whole story is a bit unique and the characters are amazing. Note that when we are talking about gambling it can be anything, not only the games you see in Casino. Also, note that we are talking about an anime, something that means if gambling games sound or seem crazy, multiply that craziness x 1000 and there you have it! The most amazing thing though is the reactions and expressions the Characters show, which are extremely intense either that is craziness, fear or excitement!

You can watch Season 1 on Netflix too!
