(Futatabi kakegurui onna-tachi)
“Gambling Women Again”
Oh Kakegurui how Ive missed thee. While there was an good amount of apprehension going into this season considering how the last one ended (something something anime original ending copping out on things), Id be hard pressed denying this show still knows how to put a smile on the face. And several of them at that. Its immediate balls to the wall crazy in episode one and with the taste of even more to comeoh yeah, not even Netflixs really—really—dumb sub delays can ruin the fun here.
As anyone who has seen Kakeguruis first season can attest to (at least, Im assuming you have), this show is relatively simple at heart. We have the school, the eclectic cast of social elite misfits, and the gambling structure which effectively controls every aspect of uber rich student life. Its this latter bit however which is especially important as the act of gambling is essentially what Kakegurui is all about. Characters make bets, play increasingly over the top games, and through sheer mental fortitude or trickery wind up coming out on topor ending up squarely at the bottom. Its psychological thriller at its most potent, and you dont need to watch more than five minutes to see why. Finger guillotines, jazz soundtrack, crazy faces, and no lack of seriously deranged characters; its nothing but insanity all the way down.
Beyond the fun of masochism gone wrong though, the sticking point of Kakegurui inevitably rests with its story. Our main girl disruptor Yumeko (Hayami Saori), through her love of all things gambling, winds up getting swept into various games of cheating-infused chance which she perseveres through in one form or another. Its not to say Yumeko always wins (spoiler alert: she doesnt), but every game more or less becomes a challenge in identifying how Yumeko winds up overpowering the competition before she does it. Admittedly this can grow boring after a whilethe first season certainly fell flat at timesbut when youre dealing with games like this, do you really care? Considering we have resident nutcase Midari (Ise Mariya) involved in the latest display of gambling greatness, it doesnt matter so much our poor little half-hearted emo loli is inevitably going to lose. When youre dealing with insanity of this level, the experience is often satisfaction enoughand oh boy what an experience it is. Kakegurui may be skipping over the Tower arc and going straight into the election arc (as it unfortunately looks to be), but Ill be damned if its not a sight to behold when pulling out all the psychological stops. We may have to wait a week or so to find out exactly what the hell is exactly going on here, but you can bet the fun and games havent even started.
Theres a whole new challenge awaiting our little gambling addict this season, and with a cast of equally crazy characters ready to make her acquaintance, quite a bit of chaos waiting in the wings. Best pepper thy angus boys and girls, darling Yumeko is back and shes ready for more.

the Bible Black prequel has returned for a second romp… yay
That episode was goodness so great. The ending theme when Yumeko might be kissing Mary waz great. This episode was damn great. And see our main heroines in the op and in the series! I’m looking forward to see Ririka with Mary and The moment between Sayaka and Kirari
I still need to catch up with the last few episodes of the first season, but it does warm my heart to see Midari back at it with her crazy self.
Midari is what honestly keeps me coming back to this show even when the games get stale. She’s pretty much comedic relief at this point 😛
Is this some sort of “Chicken” play just with an Guillotine?

Heh not even surprised, it’s Elon after all XD
Why are the netflix subs delayed if i may ask?Tried seeing if the first episode was already on there and the first season had it on the day of release already back then from what i remember so why the delay this time?
Because fuck you, that’s why. Love, netflix.
Anyone’s guess really, I haven’t found an answer for why yet, but I do know it’s annoying as hell haha
Different Time Zones?
Then you’re remembering wrong? There was no official simulcast for the 1st season either and also we had to rely on the few ppl still able to fansub.
This show give me the creeps
