Kakegurui Eerieka (1/5) https://i1.wp.com/www.unotaku.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Kakegurui-5.png?resize=640%2C369 This is the last of the shows I didn't like, or at least the ones I feel ultiately negative about. Kakegurui is about this highly stratified high school where students partake in gambles to determine who will be safe and who will be demoralized. When you're in debt, you become a "pig" and are forced to obey the commands of those with money, and face their ridicule. It's not a bad concept, and it has a lot going for it through the first few episodes! But I quickly grew tired of the formulaic nature and it's complete ineptitude at creating conflict. It all comes down to Yumeko's character, really. The gambles have absolutely no weight behind them because of how she functions. To give an idea, when she actually loses a match, she takes her punishment like a champ and actually gets enjoyment out of the ridicule. She's in a constant state of ecstasy through the mere performance of a gamble, so, whether she wins or loses, there's no weight to the result, and it trivializes the entire focal point of a gambling anime. I know people like to look at this "Not a gambling anime", but you kinda have to make huge leaps to create that argument, since gambling is at the forefront of every episode. Of course, that's nothing to say of the characters. Yumeko herself is a lot of fun, but she can't really carry the show when literally every other girl has a carbon copy of her personality, with the extremity raised or lowered. None of them really feel unique by the end, and it plays into the formula, which always results in Yumeko winning, even when she loses. It's one of those shows where I just don't understand why so many people enjoy it since it's so... https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTvFj2h0PQnMJ9fFEtgXo1-9Jn0gR926E3fircvnW9gd0rXIoE https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTAXiBp00u5ySUUksHC5LraG5jQcpjIPl1BFZ-ICUW-8FrO8wDP http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/271/004/b12.gif ...Oh, yeah. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan <cite>tazzyboyishere posted [p:898545032] in Tazzy Rank...
