>has better animation and visual direction than most anime in the last 8 years>fun cast of characters>is completely forgottenWhy did Kakegurui fail so hard?
>>283159101Kakegurui joining "old good, new bad" should at the very least make some /a/nons reconsider this knee-jerk position
That's not Sonny Boy
>>283159101No nudity
Because it was about gambling with imaginary numbers and no real ramifications for their actionsLike, for real, they claimed to be gambling entire millions, and they are even allowed to gamble away their own family's businessLike, what the fuck. Ok, whatever. But did anything happen to the losers? Did they fall into poverty and have to experience working a 9/5 job? No, in fact, no one ever experienced any real problemsThey were a bunch of spoiled brats from the start. They were still a bunch of spoiled brats to the end
>>283159101in my case I was expecting pure unadultered gambling for fun, or in the other way for pure survival. But the cast just wasn't good enough and the "Everyone else cheats but because I'm Sherlock levels of smart I can easily deal with it" shit became stale. The guy MC was a cuck and if you are going to make anything gambling related you know guts, smarts or/and being a cunt should be part of the menu. It was too predictable and formulaic, the akatsuki guys were dealt with way faster and the stakes were shit.That sucked because the OST, openings and endings were too good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlMtn6dv6Xc
>>283159101It's fine, man. I still catch up with the manga periodically, but don't dump or whatever.
>>283159101Needed more Seth "Freakin'" Rollins.
I want setsuna to beat up all these whores>>283159292>>283159101
>>283159292Pretty much.Eventually the only thing that keeps it interesting is seeing the characters doing mean bitch expressions, which is good but not enough to make it genuinely memorable.
Imagine kakegurui visuals with a real story
>>283159101sex with eyepatch girl
>>283159101Presents itself as shocking and extreme without being either of those things.
>>283159101I could never forget her
>has average animation and visual direction than most anime in the last 8 years>piece of shit of characters>is completely rememberedWhy did kaiji succeeded so hard?
>>283159790What makes kaijifags so obsessed with Kakegurui? You guys always swarm these threads like moths to a flame.
>>283159827well desu if kakegurui wasn't an gambling anime we wouldn't be discussing about kaiji at all.
>>283159101Poorman's Kaiji.
I love Kakegurui, they should all be naked though
>>283159101mayhaps possibly it could be conceivably perchance it wasn't very good
>>283159827Because kakegurui is the better gambling manga
>>283159101S2 was kinda trash.
>>283159292>The guy MC was a cuck>The guy MCHe wasn't the MC or anything close to it, Jesus Christ, hating the show for that is like one of the worst reasons you could choose.
>>283160931This. The second season was rubbish. And it wasn't just because of the stupid anime original characters/ending.
>>283159101None of the characters were remotely likeable
>>283159237thisI want to add, there is almost no "school life", no teachers, no activities other than gambling, no parents, no home life, no vacations, no swimsuit episode etc. This makes the characters very one-note too. Everyone is a gambling addicted stuck up bitch without a life. Yes, the boys too. This gets stale after three episodes. Usually you could spice this up with some romantic tension, but aside from the lesbian prez nothing happens and that is blink and you miss it, too. The manga then commits suicide with a typical "endless and boring event" arc and the second season of the anime follows suit. Even the side story Twin got stale because it repeated the same mistakes.
>>283161438>there is almost no "school life"this is my main issue for most shows with a school setting
Did the last volume of Twin get uploaded anywhere?
>>283159101Didn't the live action series aired just recently?
>>283159101>Why did Kakegurui fail so hard?Shit writing focused on the author's waifu. Simple.>>283159292Yeah even though I dropped it I still listen to the opening from time to time.>>283159827Because kakegurui is perceived as an insult to proper gambling stories. A disgusting knock-off cashing on waifufaggotry to make up for its lack of writing merit.
>>283163055>A disgusting knock-offBut the shows are nothing alike besides both being about gambling
>>283163068I don't know either, it's just how it's perceived. I don't remember stuff like Gamble Fish being that hated. Though with time it seems indeed that Kakegurui's author simply picks whatever genre is popular at the moment and makes a version with his hime-cut waifu in it.
The 20 or so instances of them thinking "I did this so she will do this but when she did this I did that haha" per episode/chapter is insufferable. Internal skill play-by-play is one of the worst things about anime and manga and this shit cranks that shit up to 11. Oh and the whole thing about halfwit writer trying to write genius characters. Especially combined with the above and the constant 'outplaying' and whatever.
>>283159101Okay template bread, if you want my data. I felt betrayed by the supposed gambling premise. It had almost no gambling. And in that time, I never grew interested in the story or characters.Now that's all just my expectations not being met, which means nothing. For everyone else, it was probably the boring unstoppable MC and complete lack of tension, just like S1 Aldnoah Zero.
>>283164062You just perfectly described Akagi
>>283164062>>283161438Hm, the show has no gambling and no school life? How strange, I wonder how that happened. You'd think they'd have one or the other.Could be expectations.
>>283159101Don't Japanese not give a fuck about anything unless it's airing right now?
>>283159101>has better animation and visual direction than most anime in the last 8 years>fun cast of charactersAnd that was it, everything else was subpar.
>>283164883>You'd think they'd have one or the other.just because someone called it gambling, doesn't make it so, but it wasn't school life either. In fact there is a third option, and that was whatever the fuck the show was.
>>283165484That's a bold claim, what's your reasoning for making such a seemingly untrue statement?
>>283159148The oldgoodnewbad movement was never based on any kind of principles and was always a defense mechanism from anons who have burned out of seasonal anime, so of course they like the anime that they've seen, no matter how recent it is>you're telling me that Frieren is the greatest anime in the past ten years and I should catch up with 28 episodes and remember the names and backstories of at least a dozen characters for the new season?>that seems like too much effort--I mean that sounds like overrated battle shounen slop!>Also why has everybody forgotten about Assassination Classroom?
>>283159101They didn't really do much with it in the short time that it was popular, and nobody really liked the second season.
>>283159101it was total crap compared to anime before it like Kaiji and One outs, we've just lowered the bar so low that it's passable in hindsight
