Netflix releases trailer for anime series Kakegurui

August 3, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Netflix has debuted a trailer for the upcoming anime series Kakegurui, MAPPA’s adaptation of Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura’s Japanese Manga series Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler; take a look at the trailer here…

Live. Bet your life on it.

There is one absolute rule in gambling — at the end of the day, there is a winner and a loser. The winner gains riches and prestige, while the loser is branded a failure and left with nothing. In the silence leading up to the moment that separates winners and losers, instincts are sharpened and desires reach the point of ecstasy. This is a harsh microcosm of life in a capitalist society. Why are people captivated by a world filled with risk? What lies beyond the madness? As the class system of modern society crumbles, an unprecedented adrenaline-pumping anime sweeps the world.

Kakegurui is set to arrive on Netflix in 2018.
