Those OP/ED are pretty on point. I'm especially fond of the OP with its crazy jazz sound and hedonistic sexualism. The show is growing on me, though the mad spectacle they're going for is a little hard to swallow at times. I know it's supposed to be repulsive, but I at least hope the characters develop further down the line to even things out, because you can only have a story filled with nothing but repugnant rich kids taking advantage of each other for so long.
Also, why does that school allow this!?

I like both songs, and the OP is pretty good. The ED demonstrates a complete lack of subtlety that I haven't seen since Yuri Kuma Arashi.
They not only allow it, they seem to actively encourage it. The narration goes on at some length about the reasoning behind it all, but mostly it comes across as narrative convenience. |

Come to think of it, if Kakegurui's being (p)reviewed by someone who watches Netflix Japan, will Fate/Apocrypha receive the same treatment?

I like the energy of the ED, with it's flashing stage lights in sync with each other and the rain getting more and more violent. It does lack subtlety though, and despite the psycho-sexual themes of the show, panders to a decidedly more ecchi viewer. I can overlook this because it still works, but it's an industry trope that's killing me inside. |

That's a very convenient way to stay current on new shows and not be waylaid by Netflix's season-long delay scheme here.
As for the show, it's a fun quick watch. There's zero depth but it looks great and is expertly paced, and beautiful girls everywhere. It's like a sex swapped Kaiji. |

There should be a review for Fate/Apocrypha soon. |

An asinine plot and nonstop ahegao faces but... no nudity, no sex! So its like every hentai ever minus the good bits. This is what hentai looks like in a dystopian future where only monogender anime exists and some clown is president of the U.S. Its a bad joke and still "one of the most interesting titles airing this season", and thats so sad.

There is a manga called Gamble Fish that predates this series and it's literally the same thing, except the protagonist is a male.
Doesn't make it any less interesting or fun though. |
