The acclaimed gambling gum anime seriesKakeguruiis position to become Netflix ’s next live - action anime adaptation going under the novel nameBET.BETwill be overseen byWarrior Nunshowrunner Simon Barry . The original manga by Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura follows a young woman named Yumeko Jabami who attend a school where the students participate in high - stakes gambling games to build societal dominance .

BETis just the tardy in Netflix ’s attempts to fund gamey - budget adaptations of popular anime and manga serial While Netflix had ab initio seen sundry success with adaptations such asCowboy BebopandDeath Note , the streaming giant hit the jackpot with their lively - legal action adaption ofOne Piece .

What We Know About Netflix’s Kakegurui Adaptation So Far

Information On BET Is Sparse So Far

Beyond the name change and the showrunner , not much is know aboutBET . The Tweet reveal the show also contained a cast list of eight actors , though it does n’t define who each actor is playing . The safest stakes is thatKateandStar Trek : plane section 31actress Miku Martineau will act as Yumeko . Beyond that though , it ’s difficult to say which player will correspond to which lineament from the manga and anime series . Given that , at least based on the casting choices , BETwill most likely take place in America rather than Japan , it ’s likely that character reference will have their public figure changed .

sports fan of the anime already seem skeptical of Netflix ’s attempt before much has really been unwrap about the serial . presently , the top answer to the annunciation post is gum anime fan@BasedLIDAsaying " call off it bruh " , and it ’s not difficult to find others echoing that sentiment . Whether the recoil is fairish skepticism due to retiring Zanzibar copal adaptation flop or if it ’s unfairly prejudge a project , it ’s clearBETwill have an acclivitous conflict to climb in terms of winning over some anime fans .

How We Think Netflix Will Translate Kakegurui Into Live-Action

The Series Will Certainly Undergo A Facelift

Kakeguruiis one of the good play animeand is never afraid to go over the top , naturally advance the interrogation of how Netflix will conform such a bombastic series into alive - action at law . While fans will have to await till the first trailers and promo images drop to truly know , the safe stake given the casting and Netflix ’s own chronicle is thatBETwill be a far more ground high - schooling drama with the gambling component submit , but less histrionic . What will be more interesting will be comparing Netflix ’s variation ofKakeguruito the unrecorded - action Nipponese drama produced in 2018 .

A new resilient - action series establish on a pop Zanzibar copal is in the works at Netflix , and it has to solve a major challenge that can make or break the show .

Though fan may plain about Netflix ’s young serial , it truly is too early say much of anything about its quality . A sealed level of disbelief may be warranted , sure enough , but alive - action Zanzibar copal adaptations likeOne PieceandBattle Angel Alitashow that miracle can happen . Even beyond that , make over anime / manga adaptation like Tom Cruise’sEdge of Tomorrowshow that these labor can actually impart in young fans . Whether this will happen with Netflix’sKakeguruiadaptation , or ifBETwill be far more like bankruptcy of the past , remain to be seen .
