KAKEGURUI : A TASTE FOR GAMBLING

Posted on

Is there anything better than food reactions? Yes. Insane gambling reactions.

If you thought Shokugeki no Soma was full of excessive reactions on 2015, well, buckle up as you watch Kakegurui this year. I have to say, the new anime releases this season are really great especially Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul * I have my eyes on Nina Drango, she’s so cute* but that’s for another topic.
What made this anime unique in its own kind of way is the fact that it has its own charisma. Anyone who has seen Prison School could surely sense that the way the students treat the “house pets” were much like how the boys in Prison School were treated minus the prison cell. Kakegurui has this creative visual presentation within each episode wherein they showcase different forms of gambling and how each game has their own sets of thrills and risks.

The main character herself is very interesting and mysterious. I should say, I am very impressed as to how the anime tells its story. Not often do you see a story told by another character in an anime. The viewers see and think through the lens of Ryōta Suzui, a friend of Yumeko Jabami , our main girl. As far as I have observed, unlike any anime where the audience gets to ‘hear’ the thoughts and sentiments of the main character, the situation here is different. 

The viewers are most often than not – other than the times when Jabami explains her ‘trick’ or how she figured out the ‘trick’, clueless as to what the main character is thinking which I personally think is a good way to keep us, the viewer, in an edge. I also quite like the fact that the main character is a usually a well-mannered, kind girl but completely changes personality when she is gambling.



It also amazes me that the storytellers are not afraid to show main character losing. This gives the plot a more realistic appeal and it helped me as a viewer get a share of the thrill and excitement while watching the plotline of the anime progress too. In a sense, they really embodied the true essence of gambling where nothing is for sure. Also, I love the fact that the anime art style isn't mainstream.

BTW, I am so in love with their opening :

Splinterlands: Water Deck for Beginners

Posted on Post a Comment

Splinterlands has been fun for me!  I love strategy games, coming from NarutoArena way back 2000s, this NFT game is enjoyable. Being a beginner, to get your rank up from Bronze III to Bronze II is hard compared to Bronze II to I. I guess because in B3 the only ruleset is Standard (no restrictions except mana costs) making it hard to select/build your splinter in battle.  In this post, I'll be sharing my water deck. I rented the cards below. Summoner : Alric Stormbringer +1 Magic to splinters and just 3 mana cost. This makes this summoner great. Tank :  Lobstradamus   For its hit points at 9 and ability to reduce damage from melee and range attacker, and just 6 mana cost this is a great tank although it is slow. Adding the +1 magic from Alric, you have 2 direct damage per attack. Support: Venari Wavesmith   This card adds armor to friendly monsters (plus +2 direct damage per turn), although it has 5 mana cost having this gives your low HP splinters protection fr...
