It is said that Japanese are born Shinto, married Christian and die Buddhist. Religion is not that important in Japan as are most countries where it is often use for politics and power. However cults are common in Japan and with the previous Unification Church being stripped of its religious status, cults and religion are at the forefront of Japanese news.
Kaso Girei reminds me very much of Scams on Netflix. Scams was low budget dorama which was basically a handbook on how to scam people and Kaso Girei has the same smell of being a handbook on create your very own religion... I mean cult.
One of my favourite and best side stories from Ryu ga Gotoku series is the shooreh pipi cult story sort of based on Aum Shinrikyo but nowhere as horrible,
Kaso Girei is the story of two guys, one a very successful executive public servant (Aoyagi Sho) with an interest in religion and writing and the other in game development (Daito Shunsuke). They both have an interest in religion and decide to team up to create a religious themed game.
The public servant abandons his incredible job and life for this dream and finds out that game guy was fired and they both lost everything. How do two people with no jobs survive? Think of a new religion!
I am trying not to get too excited about Kaso Girei but I have a feeling it will be Scams V2 which is a good thing. I just want a fun handbook on how to create your own cult with some fun stories. Watchable first episode and fingers crossed! Big thanks to monchi for subbing and raws are available at nyaa under 仮想儀礼.
