Usogui English Sub & Dub

About Usogui

If you are hunting for a new psychological series, Usogui (嘘喰い) deserves a look (2012). The setup goes like this. The setup: There are gamblers out there who even bet their lives as ante. But to secure the integrity of these life-threatening gambles, a violent and formidable organization by the name of "Kakerou" referees these games as a neutral party.

Beyond that: Follow Baku Madarame a.k.a. Usogui (The Lie Eater) as he gambles against maniacal opponents at games—such as Escape the Abandoned Building, Old Maid, and Hangman—to ultimately "out-gamble" and control the neutral organization of Kakerou itself.

As a psychological title, mind games and moral ambiguity push the narrative. Baku Madarame (Anri Katsu) and Kaji Takaomi (Daichi Kanbara) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who enjoy tense, cerebral stories. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal
