Mixed with solid themes of sexual threat and a dystopian-style lifestyle, Kakegurui Twin is easily an anime series to keep an eye on (that’s, of course, if there are further plans to flesh out the story, leaning towards the sequel). For instance, in this gambling world, cheating is permitted - it’s up to your opponent to figure it out.

Kakegurui Twin proposes the idea of power-hungry human beings in a desperate setting. Once you have become a “mitten,” it’s almost impossible to climb out of that ranking using gambling. Students in debt have to announce themselves as “mittens.” They are succumbed to as pets of the student society until they have graduated. The Hyakkaou Private Academy reeks of sorority and fraternity-like principles, seeping through the characters that group themselves based on secluded gambling dens and financial connections.

The premise sounds surface-level and appealing, but the world of Kakegurui Twin is sinister-feeling and deadly.
