In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Kakegurui stays blissfully uninterested in modern woke trends, opting instead for excessive gambling and theatrical mayhem. It's a non-woke romp through bizarre school politics, more concerned with shocking twists than any ideological preaching.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kakegurui focuses heavily on over-the-top gambling and psychological warfare. Characters are chosen for their eccentric personalities, not their demographic checkboxes. There's no sense that identity politics comes before storytelling, it's pure, bizarre fun (and chaos) with skill and obsession front and center.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is light on commentary about real-world culture, preferring to lampoon elite school structures. While gender roles are occasionally played with, it's far more about wild personalities than pushing an agenda. Traditional values largely stay untouched; any subversion is for entertainment rather than ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Kakegurui is too focused on its absurd premise to dwell on big ideological messages. Characters have a range of views and wildly different motivations. There's little sense of 'approved opinions' or forced worldview; if anything, it pokes fun at all sides through its madness.
