Bet: Live-Action Adaptation Enters Top Charts Despite Fan Disapproval
The anime "Bet" is now a live-action show on Netflix.
It's about a school where students gamble to rank.
While many of the original anime and manga fans don't like it, the show is still popular.
The show reached the top 10 on Netflix after its first episode.
However, ratings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are just average.
The director of "Bet" said that it's inspired by, but not exactly the same as, the original story of Kakegurui.
The story is based on the manga of the same name.
The story is set in St. Dominic, an elite school.
The live-action adaptation of the anime "Bet" premiered on Netflix on May 15, 2025.
Despite negative reception from anime and manga fans, "Bet" has entered Netflix's top 10 charts.
The series garnered 2.4 million views for its first episode, securing the 9th spot on Netflix.
"Bet" has received an average 6/10 rating on IMDb and a 62% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The series is inspired by, but not directly replicating, the Kakegurui storyline, as stated by director Simon Barry.
