However, I also found it to be safe because of that. I appreciate that "Kakegurui Twin" is more restrained. Tsuzura and Yukimi, new characters for this series who are Mary's best friends, are entirely forgettable, meaning Mary carries most of the weight of the series on her back. Even in the main series, she was the one I identified most with and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this series just because I got more time to see her grow. Mary Saotome is a great character, cunning, fallible, but ultimately a lot of fun to get to know. All because Mary, a new student and low in the social hierarchy, opens her own gambling den (the equivalent to an after-school club), and faces the ire of the student council. Rather than gambling in rotating death towers, "Kakegurui Twin" has our heroine playing dice, cards and a high-stakes game of treasure hunt. In fact, this whole series, which became famous for the psychotic faces of the characters when embracing their outlandish predicaments, is a barrage of bizarre.įollowing a second season of the main series that was not only unnecessary but completely out of hand, "Kakegurui Twin", a spin-off focusing on secondary character and fan-favorite Mary Saotome, mildly grounds the series again. Rich kids use their parents yen to duke it out, with those who go bankrupt or unable to pay back the house becoming a "house pet," collared and owned in a situation best described as kinky.
"Kakegurui" has the kind of plot you can only get in this medium - a high school where social standing is entirely based on your ability to gamble. (KGUN) - Describing an anime as weird is like describing the sky as blue: you shouldn't have to.
