It’s got fantastic acting, and stars Kira Buckland as Saotome Mary amongst a cast of skilled feminine VAs that all bring their best. I say this because enough of Hyakkaou Academy’s dynamics get explained in the premiere that you really could come in completely unknowing –or, like most of my friends, from hearing me talk about Kakegurui secondhand– and still get the gist.īetter, you can watch it in multiple languages: I chose to go with the English dub for my watch. Of course, there’s context bonuses, but this story is wholly about her before any of the main story happens. One thing to note is that this series can be watched as a standalone: you don’t necessarily need to know about the main series, nor do you necessarily need to know Mary from the source series. It takes from the Kakegurui spin-off manga of the same name, focusing on Saotome Mary before she meets the infamous Jabami Yumeko. Kakegurui: Twin, at base, is much the same as Kakeguruiand Kakegurui XX: it mixes gambling power dynamics with rich kids at a prestigious private school where your rank is decided by how well you keep a poker face… literally.
Unused to gambling and thrust into a world where she has to decide if she’ll sink or swim, Mary’s got a lot to get used to… or else, she’ll end up a school pet and a Mittens. Yet inside the school’s prestigious and filthy rich halls are gambling dens, which decide the rank of each student, regardless of heritage or standing. What’s it about? Saotome Mary enters Hyakkaou Academy as an ordinary girl from an ordinary, everyday family.
