Kakegurui (Seasons 1–2)

Kakegurui (2017) is a Japanese anime you can watch online on iFILM, set in a private academy where rank is decided by gambling rather than grades.

Hyakkaou Academy educates the children of Japan's elite, and its entire pecking order runs on bets. Lose, fail to cover your debt, and you drop to "house pet" status under the student council's thumb. The machine ran smoothly for years — until transfer student Yumeko Jabami shows up. Calm, striking and genuinely reckless, she gambles for the rush, not the money, and her appetite for risk starts cracking the school's power structure apart.

Produced by studio MAPPA from the manga by Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura, the show is famous for its faces: characters contort into near-grotesque masks at the peak of a bet. It lands for anyone who likes psychological duels and a sleek, sinister look. Stream Kakegurui online on iFILM.
