Synopsis
Kakegurui (2017), Season 1 is a crime-drama anime you can watch online on iFILM — twelve episodes set inside Hyakkaou Academy, where rank is decided at the gambling table, not in class.
The school runs on power and debt. Then Yumeko Jabami transfers in. She doesn't play to win money; she plays for the rush of the gamble itself, and that breaks the system. Class champion Mary loses to her and crashes to the bottom of the pecking order. After that come student council enforcers: Itsuki and her nail collection, the unhinged Midari with her card-based Russian roulette, the pop idol Yumemi. Every match is a contest of bluffs, rigged decks and read tells, and the loser often wagers their own life.
Adapted by studio MAPPA from Homura Kawamoto's manga, the first season pushes Yumeko toward a showdown with council president Kirari. Stream Kakegurui Season 1 online on iFILM.
