kakegurui bet live-action

Netflix is working on an English live-action adaptation inspired by Kakegurui, with BET as the title. It will focus on Yumeko, a Japanese student who transfers to a boarding school. [Thanks, Anime News And Facts!]

Here is a synopsis of the show, which Netflix posted:

"In BET, the boarding school's hierarchy is upturned when Yumeko, a mysterious transfer student arrives from Japan with a dark secret and a gambling prowess that puts her in the crosshairs of the powerful Student Council. Ultimately, her revenge quest threatens to upend the school's status quo entirely."

Already, we can see some differences between BET and Kakegurui, aside from the obvious (the characters' ethnicity and the setting's country). In the original manga and anime series, a lot of Yumeko's motivations for gambling and transferring to Hyakkaou Private Academy stemmed from her personal gambling compulsion and addiction. Though she does have a mysterious past, Yumeko has a somewhat hedonistic approach to the gambles that she engages in. However, this change could be to make the show interesting for those already familiar with the source material, as well as some audience members who want a protagonist with a more "compelling" story.

Simon Barry (Warrior Nun) is the writer, developer, and director. While we don't know their roles yet, we do know these following actors and actresses will be in BET:

  • Anwen O'Driscoll
  • Aviva Mongillo
  • Ayo Solanke
  • Clara Alexandrova
  • Eve Edwards
  • Hunter Cardinal
  • Miku Martineau
  • Ryan Sutherland

Kakegurui (as well as another live-action adaptation) is readily available to stream via services such as Netflix. BET, the live-action show inspired by Kakegurui, is in production.

Review: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Is Majestic on the Switch Which Paper Mario Game Should You Play

There are a lot of Paper Mario games out there, with varying degrees of quality. (We don't talk about Sticker Star anymore.) With one of the strongest entries now on the Switch, we figured it's a great time to talk about which Paper Mario game (or games) are best for people to play.

As someone who played Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door again fairly recently, I'm going to say that is the best Paper Mario game you should play. It's an absolutely fantastic RPG with tons of personality, memorable characters, great challenges, and a lovely aesthetic. There's no busywork. No bland character designs. Every part feels valuable. Plus, it's very easily accessible right now. — Jenni

With the caveat I've ironically played almost every Paper Mario game except The Thousand-Year Door (will change that soon with the Switch version), I would say the original Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64 is a classic and great place to start. The Wii U and 3DS games all have their share of issues, so there is nothing like the simplicity, charm, and surprisingly solid graphics in the original that hold up much better than other N64 titles. Plus, it is available through the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. — Cody

persona 5 joker figma header

Good Smile Company has opened up pre-orders for a re-release of the Joker figma from Persona 5. Good Smile Company also offers a miniature Morgana that you can place by his side.

Pre-orders for the Persona 5 Joker figma figure close on July 10, 2024. Those in Japan will have to pay 8800 JPY for him and he'll come out in November 2024. Meanwhile, those in North America will have to pay $51.99 and he'll ship out in November 2024 as well. As a reminder, due to geographical licensing restrictions, Good Smile Company only ships to Canada and the United States.

As a figma figure, you can twist Joker however you want (within reason) to make him strike different poses. The Good Smile Company shows a few examples. You can display him pointing his gun, adjusting his gloves, holding a dagger, and more. Of course, you can also make him strike poses that weren't in key visuals or in-game animations too.

Joker is the playable protagonist of Persona 5. Even though Joker's personality is fairly subdued compared to other characters due to the limits of his dialogue choices and his silent protagonist status, he is incredibly popular thanks to his suave design. He topped a Japanese popularity poll for Persona 5 characters, as well as appeared in multiple collaborations, including being a guest fighter in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Persona 5 Royal, the definitive version of Persona 5, is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
