If you are going to watch this, be prepared for the overacting. I didn't mind it because it was obviously an intentional choice and ALL the roles are overacted. I've never watched the anime or read the manga, so I can not say how true it holds to the source material. However, the games are enjoyable (and so are the methods of cheating). It is satisfying to watch the heroine outsmart her challengers. I hope they do a season 2 so that I can see how it all ends. As it is, it ends rather abruptly and without answering many of the questions it raises.
