Loved, loved, loved this! I was thrown off at first by the overacting, but when I read from others on here that it's deliberate, I immediately got into it and think it made this drama all the more special. It really feels like you're watching a live action anime, and that gives Kakegurui a special and unique touch that sets it apart from a lot of other dramas. Though the episodes were a little formulaic, they were fun and enjoyable to watch. I thought all the games were clever and was interested in seeing how Yumeko figured them out. The actors were fantastic; I absolutely adored Minami as Yumeko and loved her dynamic with the other characters, especially Manyuda. If I had to offer some critique, it'd be that I wish we got more character backstory, especially with the main ones and even more especially with Yumeko, since there was definitely something going on there. Perhaps we'll see that in Season 2, but overall it didn't take away from my enjoyment of this show. Definitely add this to your list if you're looking for something fun to watch!
