An anime about gambling doesn’t sound like one with a lot of action, and this is true. You might be puzzled and ask how this can be entertaining at all, but trust us, it can. If you’re craving for some suspense, excitement and a little bit (okay, a lot of) insanity, this is definitely a series for you.

Kakegurui takes place at a private academy where students have to play games to be ranked higher and achieve great social status. But what if a new student enrolls in the academy? The one, who doesn’t care about student hierarchy but is only in it for the thrill.

Although Frieren was very good at overshadowing all the other Fall anime in 2023, the Apothecary Diaries managed to get noticed, too. If you’ve been too busy with other series, now is the perfect time to finally try this one out. And if you’re a fan of political intrigues and investigations, you’re going to love the anime.

Maomao’s experience as a pharmacist comes in handy when she learns about the illness of the Emperor's children. After her medical talents are recognized, she’s given the opportunity to enter the Emperor’s inner circle. And that’s how she finds herself solving various mysteries for the royal court.
