KT is a 6 episode short anime series about another menacing, elite HS with yet more sinister offspring of well💰moneyed High-Rollers.
The concept seems Against the Spread, ie. Underwhelming 😑(right?). How it was Dealt to my queue is more mysterious than a Random Number Generator, but watchlist Roulette landed on KT, so it seemed only proper to Play a Round or two🎰
Like a High-Stakes Buy-in, the premise is a bit of a pauser. It's Long Odds that a show featuring a HS that revolves around betting will Pay Off big. You may Speculate: Does KT's S1 Reel in some Beginner's Luck, or does this table have a Low Limit? Once Ep2's Chips are counted, it's clear that logic and🀄strategy are a deck of cards, and the premise, a dealer. KT is not dumbed-down; it has a good hand to play.
Mary Satoame is new to Hyakkou Private Academy, and Mary is as talented as a card-counting card sharp. She doesn't enter Hyakkou with the Bankroll to be a Whale, nor does she plan to be top gambler, though we can Tell she's curious about how she'll Cut the Deck compared to the school's lauded prodigies. Her gameplan is to survive - alone. The academy is a Cage in which students get some Action: Payline, Payout Percentage, and sometimes Tapping Out. It's not a place where one Hits the friend Jackpot. Yet Mary manages to score 2 team players without a Wager. It's Better than a Double or Nothing.
One day she stumbles into HPA's long forgotten library📚 and Collects her snake-eyes Bonus: 2 unforgettable friends, shiny clean, like a fresh deck of cards. Their bond is not Progressive; it's immediate & sincere, which opens Slots for Free Spins against the disdainful Croupiers & Pit Bosses. With friends, the risk, effort, and Toke are shared, which Chips at the House Edge. In 🕧, they share Hands by turning the library into their own den o' yen💴, aka, a casino.
HPA is a Derby for Platinum Members only. Like William Macy in The Cooler, newbies aren't allowed to 'let it ride' or run Hot; they are kept in the Cold. Along come the frigid snobs, the sadistic mavens, the appealing but calculating Blackjack of a redhead, the nefarious house counsel, and long queues of wildcats, madcats, & housecats, as well as a House Comp of dweebs🃏. It's as if HPA is one big Fruit Machine. They all want to Double-Down on their constant Riffling with Mary's Futures. It's Certain: She's a guessing game. Guess where she'll end up? The malevolence of the jealous, those 2-dimensional Face Cards who do not want Mary passing them on the Track, may be the biggest Risk.
Mary realizes that, while her friends are Railbirds, not gambling savants, they have Skills that are worth so much more: Trustworthiness. Loyalty. Courage. That's 3 aces. The 🎲 are Loaded. Watch how Mary's gonna pull the Blinds off and set things a'tumblin.
It's a slow Tumble at first. Ep1 is a Fold, and Ep2 is an only slightly better hand. From there, the House of Cards begins to take shape. Ep3: more interesting; 4: Calling it pretty darn good; 5: plenty of Juice; and the Cashout episode - Well, it's looking Down-and-Out for Mary and the librarians... Is it true that The House Always Wins? Or might Mary have an ace tucked in her thigh-high socks?
KT's animation is like Texas Hold Em: An old game with new, exciting twists. The English speaking dubs are the usual excellence found in anime. 🐰🕳··> As an aside, in anime, the dubs are 100% better (imho) while with foreign live action ~> Hey! Subtitles are a Whiz in under 90 seconds. When watching dubbed live action, one is starting at a Loss▶ a loss of 1/2 of the performance. You are better off watching cartoons<··🕳🐇.
Sure Thing, there's some better anime out there, but there's also much more that is much worse. KT's 6-chip Wager is easily Better than Breakeven, and Mary is the Queen of Clubs.
