Hello Steemit Community! and also the Anime Community!
It has been three month since this awesome Summer Season started and now it's reaching its end. This season contains much stronger anime compared to last season. It compose wide selection of variety of titles that diverts to the mainstream ones. So now I will be posting some of the titles that left mark this summer and share it with you guys so please read it. I will try to make reviews that will not much spoil you so much for you to experience the same excitement as I felt when I was watching this.
So here's one of my favorite anime this season
Kakegurui (Composive Gamber)
Genre: Drama, Game, Mystery, Psychological, School, Shounen
An anime about gambling? Set in school? Get on board!
This show is showcases an 12 episodes which features not much about gambling but the essence of gambling itself (am I making a point here?) Don't expect too much generic games like Poker, Blackjack, or Baccarat as they have more creative games that will let you think through about the rules of the games. Their unique games makes this anime interesting.
So what this is all about??
It's all about richest kids in the world doing gambling as part of their school life to prepare them in the real world. By day it is a normal school. But at night, it turns into a huge gambling den. In this school. Money is power, and the most powerful controls the whole school. But those who has least power become house pet or slaves.
The main character is Jabami Yumeko, and she is a gambling addict (the title of the anime suggest). At the beginning of the series she just transferred into this school. So what else would happen if we throw a gambling addict in a gambling school? The rest is history.

Review
(Warning! This part may contain spoilers)
Story:
The story is very straightforward with gambling as a medium of battle. Taking down the student council one by one by gambling makes this show interesting. But when you think of gambling, you need to be smart, you know how to read your opponents and forced them to make decision that will give you advantages. The main character posses that skills and evolve into a gambling maniac. Some game requires luck to win but she did it by destroying her enemies confidence.
Pretty much as I mention above the if you lose in the match with a huge debt, you will become a slave or a house pet. As which she uses that to declare a public match where the student council members cannot reject. So the story is just Jabami destroying the student council members (some of it) by gambling of course.
Art:
As the show is done by Studio Mappa, of course it will be pretty neat to look at! The animation was above average, and the details where done beautifully. Visuals are nice too. Facial expressions fit the anime genre. Fan service are also done aesthetically beautiful.
Music:
The title opening song was totally catchy! and but the ending song was kinda meh... BG musics are okay but not so memorable. Voice acting was on-point, that it matches the craziness of the characters.
Character:
The main character Jabami Yumiko is a gambling addict. She loves gambling more than anything. She thinks that the school is perfect for her as she can gamble and gamble. Gambling makes her horny. You read it right HORNY. So basically, Jabami=Gambling
The rest of the cast are student council and the her "friends".
Overall:
Overall, I love this anime. Many dislike this because of the ecchi elements thrown into the anime. More than the plot, I wanna delve more into the gambling mechanics rather than the psychological aspects. Hoping I just get to see more of the characters backstory, but hey, maybe in the next season we are to see that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed all 12 episodes and I assure you will too! For now I will rate it 7.5/10.
Follow me as I review of animes and games, (or some random stuffs).
