The bog arc dragging on for too long is practically the only thing that holds s2 back as being fucking god tier. Even then it's still great but holy shit it's like 5 episodes too long.

yeah but you don't really need to know how to play

Oh really? Is it not that important to know how the game is played? I thought that a very large part of the manga is only Mahjong.

yeah i loved it but one more challenge would've made it perfect.

also i wish other anime did the proverbs of kaiji thing

I had the opposite reaction. You can only build tension for so long before it starts to get frustrating and deflates all the buildup. If it wasn't for how great the cee-lo/chinchirorin arc was it would have almost ruined the entire season for me.

I started akagi but dropped it 10 episodes in to learn mahjong, it's not really necessary to watch it but i think you lose a lot

Anyone else want to gamble after reading this?

love this motherfucker

I think so. I'm biased though since I already knew how to play. Mahjong is a fun game.

The weird part is that he's always a douchebag so it's not like he actually betrayed you since you know he WILL betray you. The monk guy on the other hand is a bitch.

I still remember that episode 17 (I belirve) is ENTIRELY about the flippers blocking the balls, nothing else no resolution, no plan nothing, just 24 minutes of
>SHIT THE FLIPPERS ARE STOPPING THE BALLS
>AHAH THAT'S RIGHT KAIJI YOU CAN'T GET PAST THE FLIPPERS NOW THAT I'M CHEATING, I WIN YOU LOSE AHAHAHAH
>ざわざわICHIJOU STOPPED KAIJI DEADざわ IN HIS TRACK, ERECTING A IMPENETRABLE WALLざわ ざわざわ
>NOOOOOO FUCK YOU ICHIJOU I CAN'T GET PAST THE FLIPPERS
>THAT'S RIGHT KAIJI YOU CAN'T GET PAST THE FLIPPERS AS I AM CURRENTLY CHEATING I WIN
>THE FLIPPERS ARE BLOCKING ALL THE BALLS NOOOOOOO
>please watch the movie we promise it's good
I understand there has to be a filler episode or two but at least make a recap episode or something if you truly have no ideas.

I'd love a season 3 but with how the later parts of Kaiji are structured it'd be hard to fit it into a neat little 24-26 episode anime run. Everything after part 2 is basically just one long continuous meta arc which would be impossible to condense into a single season, but if you broke it up into multiple seasons there wouldn't really be satisfying "break" points to end on. Having an entire season just for minefield mahjong would be a tough sell.

Nah. It's fun but it lacks the tension of kaiji.

English manga release?

The 16 episodes of build-up is all worth it for the fucking end.

Based

No.

The manga is far, far away from where the anime currently ends, and the next big arc of the manga is only animated in pachinko machines.

When are animeonly shitters going to join the master race and read the fucking manga already?

p e r s i s t e n c e

because kaiji is one of the few anime with god tier execution in every aspect.

The manga will only get worse in the pacing regards.
At least the mahjong game is fun. The button pressing game on the other hand, is fucking painful to read.

The Bog is a god-tier arc. Ichijo is based.

Rumor has it read: "Yea Forums says" that the original composer is/was in jail and therefore s3 never.
Also, the anime was in large parts about promoting the movies and those supposedly flopped, if memory serves.
>There's a new movie in 2020
Huh, well maybe there is a chance then, after all.

EBI

I can usually into mangas but a big, BIG part of why I like Kaiji is the soundtrack. I can't imagine the manga hitting the same highs at all without that fantastic OST

yeah, briefly

Attached: file.png (1920x1080, 3.64M)

The Washizu arc is another example of Fukumoto not understanding the concept of pacing. There's never going to be an anime adapation for the end of Akagi because he dragged it out so long.
>Akagi manga is roughly 300 chapters
>Over 200 of them are the Washizu arc

basically, they have a certain amount of time to assemble a tenpai hand (1 tile away from a winning) and then they each take turns drawing from the pile until someone gets a winning piece, which they say is like walking through a minefield

I tried reading akagi but I didn't know literally anything about mahjong and I just felt completely lost

Who was in the wrong?

Attached: akagi.jpg (499x368, 54K)

It is, Madhouse did an amazing job with it. I don't even mind that the early arcs wer enever properly and fully scanlated because the anime is so good. But you're waiting for an adaptation that will likely never come and missing out on some great gambles because of it.

I liked how it was sort of like how the legend of akagi is one long night with washizu, but being so long winded and then ending in a couple chapters seemed like it was not thought out at all

Washizu's subordinates.

I think this is where I stopped reading back in a day because scanlations slowed down.

I don't mind waiting. If they did the Tonegawa spinoff surely they'll do a season 3.

>Gambling King Zero's first arc is like Kaiji with varied gambles, puzzles, and betrayal
>Second arc is a fucking boring treasure hunt with no danger
>Third arc never

I liked that episode. They kept the intersections with the main Kaiji plotline few and far between, so when it happened it was always pretty good.

Nothing has yet to top this moment for me.

>no one will want to work with him in the future either
Yeah, that's basically the damning factor here. I thought he might have even been out already, but nobody working with him would make no difference in that regard.
The question is, does a potential anime project get axed over a composer not returning? That's the part I am not sure about and which might be exaggerated.

Ten kind of disappointed me. I went into it thinking it would be about him trying to get away with cheating in the most high-stakes environments but he just ended up being a mahjong prodigy who played clean.

Minefield mahjong has some great moments. Also my favourite line in the entire series.

again this is just what I've heard, but the "DRUGS BAD" culture is so strong it also taints their past work and stuff. but we got tonegawa, so maybe that's not actually the case, who knows. though as fun as tonegawa was, the music in it was pretty forgettable, and it always stood out when they used clips from kaiji and it had his music in it

Usually you expect douchebag characters to have heart of gold, it was actually surprising that Dio was just an asshole.

blessed kaiji thread

reminder that kaiji-kun is moe

Ten is a really fucking weird manga because it completely changes its artstyle, focus and tone as it progresses. In the first chapters it's written and drawn like a comedy manga.

It lacks a lot of the flair of Fukumoto's later work and Ten is pretty boring or even unlikeable as a protagonist but the entire thing is worth reading just because old man Akagi is in it.

I really hope so user but its very unlikely. You really should read the manga.

Wait, Kaiji's mom is revealed? Fuck I gotta catch up

is the kaiji anime good enough to just skip those parts of the manga? I've watched it a few times, so do I just start with the 3rd arc, or did the anime skip anything I should know about?

The author has like 6 manga series about mahjong going on.

I watched most of the Akagi series. Is Kaiji the same shit or does it use a game that I can actually understand?

How is this vidya related?

He only does the tenhou trick like twice in the entire manga.

You can just go ahead and continue with the manga.

Blizzard

Kaiji uses a lot of games (rock-paper-scissors, a card game, a lottery, dice games, pachinko) and actually explains all of them extensively. The fun of Kaiji is him thinking outside the box to rig the games in his favor.

Why is the narrator so kino?

The Kaiji anime does not involve Mahjong. Part 3 of the manga is about Mahjong.
The anime can be watched without knowing any games beforehand.

There's only a single mahjong arc and it's only after the part covered by the anime.

In addition to Kaiji is in actual danger that you see unfold much more than Akagi. End of S1 is a bloodbath.

Sakai Burai Kaiji: Death or Survival on the Nintendo DS

Thank you very much. I definitely enjoyed a fair bit of Akagi, but not knowing how to play Mahjobng made things really rough.

From watching the anime and then continuing with the manga, the only note that the anime seems to have skipped over is that in the rock paper scissors arc, in the manga Kaiji gets branded with a hot iron when he gets sent to the losers room. That's it.

It's more comedy focus. Lacks all of the intensity of Kaiji. However, if you wanna see Tonegawa struggle to lead his men in black and please his psychopathic boss, then it's your type of anime.

Honestly if the current arc isn't the last one in Kaiji and he somehow gets cheated out of his winnings again it'll be really depressing.

I want Kaiji to end with one final gamble against Hyodou in his completed underground kingdom.

It definitely won't be the last one. The whole point of him amassing the wealth has been to go after the top of Teiai. Other than something unforseen happening like Fukumoto disappearing there's no way Kaiji doesn't end with a rematch with Hyodo.

There needs to be a payoff for saving Kazuya's life too.

The first half kinda just left me in a confused stupor, but once it reaches THAT halfway point.

I'm usually one of the staunch "always read the manga" people because I prefer the medium, but Kaiji's one of the exceptions where the voice work (esp. narration) and sound design alone really put it above the original.
Just watch what you can and continue from there.

EBI GOAL

How he went from pointy nose to mr peanut nose?

I've never really bought the angle of Kaiji wanting take down the big bad guys considering his whole character is that he's a loser who just wants easy money. I feel like it'd be crappy writing if he just wants to take down Teiai for the sake of justice, but I guess he'll end up doing it because he'll never be safe otherwise.

Generally I prefer the manga but the Kaiji anime is a great and loyal adaptation. Well worth it. there aren't even proper scans for half of the very first arc on the boat.

Akagi.

Takes a real fucked up person to enjoy these shows.

Know any resources to get started in mahjong.

akagi

always the same answer
Akagi would win, Kaiji would survive

It's definitely not done out of a true sense of justice, but he turned his winnings from majong immediately into a match with Kazuya so I think he wants a rematch with Hyodo. It could be him riding the high of the gamble, but he did the same thing with his initial winnings from E-Card too. It's not so much justice but revenge.

I think initially just wanting easy money and an easy life was where Kaiji was at but people aren't calling him a gambling addict for no reason. At this point even if he doesn't want to take money from Hyodo he's going to want the rush of the gamble either way.

This. Holy shit this.

They've already put their lives on the line multiple times. They were there with Kaiji when they risked everything, and are being chased down by Teiai along with Kaiji, so it'd be very bizarre for them to go that way.

A showdown with Hyodou seems inevitable, but I just wonder if he'll manage to escape his mother's apartment.

Who's that in the picture?

They had no idea that Kaiji lost almost his entire fortune to Serizawa and Endou and believed he was running around massively rich. They were fucking stupid and that's the reason they were in the pit to even begin with.

Kind of wish Ishida's son came back in some regard. I felt bad that Ishida asked Kaiji to save his wife and he never did, but Fukumoto seems to have forgotten that plot point entirely.

What if Hyodou is related to Washizu

I think it was the other way around, Ishida died on the bridge and his son had his debts compounded into his own which is why he was in the pit.

I'd be up for it actually. Game is a lot of fun.

I still say TOO BAD FOR YOU KAIJI a lot

E-Card is still the high point of the series for me, but the rest of it is really good too.

Ive watched kaiji and akagi and read where the anime left off for akagi, should i do the same for kaiji?

RRPS is a fundamentally boring game though, especially if you're not actually wagering anything real. The magic of Fukumoto is he takes really simplistic games and makes them exciting with high stakes, crazy meta strategies and visual metaphors.

Wait, when?

Why not some mahjong on tenhou?

That's the link to it.

I guess I could host the server, but should I use default rules or the ones I made after tinkering with all that shit that are supposed to be as close to actual Kaiji as possible? (No new mechanics and the game doesn't give you any turn / time limits, instead we can just use general time limit of 1 hour for everyone).
I haven't played the game once yet though.

Well I mean yeah, but it still has a potential to be funfor different reasons.

I can't find it on steam, didn't know it was there.

I can just delete turns and timers if people want it.

I still can't believe he's back. I both love and hate Endou so fucking much.

I also found part 4 pretty boring because it's mostly just bickering between the two characters about wealth and corruption that it gets pretty exhausting to the point where I'm just speed reading till something interesting happens. Doesn't help that I don't understand the rules of mahjong and the fact that they're playing a modified version of it makes it even more confusing. I just prefer it to be in anime form because of how great the music and voice acting is that without it I don't feel much tension.

What the fuck is his problem?

>I can't find it on steam, didn't know it was there.
did you miss the part where I said "before googem threw a hissy fit and had his gamed pulled off of steam"? he got mad steam wouldn't let him put a link to his patreon or whatever in his game and so he made a huge stink and made them take the game down

Attached: file.png (350x638, 97K)

Oh, hi.
Been a while since I played it, so not sure you'd have to do away with turns and timers entirely. Maybe just force some kind of sudden death mode after a while where both players can't keep agreeing to back out or something. But, hey, just an idea.

Ano.... Is the live action adaptation of liar game any good?

If you mean the mahjong part, then I suppose you mean part 3. It really does get better as it goes along though - I wasn't sold on it to begin with either but it gets really good. Although you'd certainly do yourself a favor learning the basics of mahjong. The basics (which are mostly all you need) are not as hard as you're probably making them out to be.

Sorry, I can't fucking read apparently.

You can't change rules mid-match.
I can host a server if we get at least 6 people.
But I dunno if I should use default rules or delete turns and timers and just end the game manually as an admin after an hour or something, or just when it pretty much stops beacuse no one does anything.

This is fucking art right here

It's the best arc so don't give up!

Yes without a doubt, part 3 and part 5 are bonkers. Plus part 3 is mahjong so you shouldnt have any trouble getting it

That's kind of a running theme with Kaiji. Nothing is ever truly fair. It's just rich people taking advantage of addicts and morons. The only major game Kaiji's played that was in his favor was THE BOX, but he got blown the fuck out (You can probably argue some Rock Paper Scissors matches and the high beam count as 'fair' maybe but they're never really against the high stakes gamblers of the elite upper crust). The people Kaiji gambles against cheat because they have the resources to do so. They're not stupid enough to actually give up their money to chance.

If Kaiji was on a mahjong table with Akagi, Kaiji would end up with a low, but positive score, while Akagi ends in first place.

are any of the kaiji/akagi movies any good?

Is Mahjong really the national sport of Yakuzas as it portray in every anime/manga?

I don't know about Akagi, but the japanese Kaiji is awful, while Animal World is alright, if you ignore the absolutely retarded clown stuff.

Akagi is a 10 episode series. I think it's pretty good and it covers more than the anime adaptation.

mahjong is a "gamble" that is actually a high skill game, so I suppose yes.

>Tonegawa (NUMBAH TOOOOOO)
Good shit

Pretty sure Luna did.

even if you dont understand mahjong, watch akagi

Mahjong is a gamble with just enough skill to trick you into thinking that you're in control. Even the best player in the world can't win if they never draw good tiles.

it is very hard to not draw tiles to build a playable hand if you play optimally and make good decisions.

To a degree. I did without knowing jack shit my first time, and while I still enjoyed it, I wish I had saved my first viewing for after I learned the basics. Most of it still goes way over my head, but learning the ground rules doesn't really take that long and it'll make you both a lot whole lot less lost and also appreciate what an absolute madman Akagi really is.

True, but it still comes down to luck (a lot of the time) for even the best. If a couple of players are both aiming for an optimal wait, it can all depend on whether they happen to get trash draws and get stuck in the mud.

I need finish up Kaiji. I got kinda bored watching the pachinko machine arc and never finished it. The prison dice arc and the roof crossing/emperor card game arc were fucking kino.

I really wish that wasn't as good a description as it is

Attached: 1545102867107.jpg (1280x720, 90K)

Akagi is weird in a good way. Early on it's enjoyable watching him shit on everyone but some time through Washizu i somehow started rooting for W even though i knew that he'd lose. Manga was a real wild ride and i wish they'd fully animate it but with composer gone it probably wouldn't be the same. I want Washizu to go full on Akagi and shit fury on Kazutaka just to see his reaction to being out fucking skilled everywhere.

Sure, but getting to a playable hand still doesn't mean you'll win. There's not much you can do if your opponents keep getting to tenpai in the first few turns. Even if you avoid them masterfully, that won't make you win. Mahjong's not like chess. It's not even like poker where bluffing is a much bigger part of the game. The difference of skill in mahjong only becomes apparent over the course of dozens of games.

It gets a lot of shit for being boring or whatever, but looking at it as a heist/bank job made it a lot more enjoyable for me at least. Well, some hate it, some love it I guess, but give it another chance.

which is why precisely why a hanchan is 8 games and you play a bunch of hanchan

I thought it was still good, I just fell off and forgot to keep watching for whatever reason.

Everyone always says they like the chinchiro arc the best, but I thought it was kinda lame how his plan boiled down to "grab the dice out of his hand when he uses them".

It was crazy even for Kaiji. The chance of his plan working out was barely higher than his chance of winning had he just played normally.

Cee-lo arc is easily the high point of the entire anime. Just perfectly executed at every step.

Pachinko arc can be argued as one of the weaker arcs. After all the planning it boils down to MORE BALLS GIVE ME MORE BALLS

I mean, I guess that's what it technically boils down to but the build up is god-tier and there's more to it than that. Kaiji almost grabbed the dice when the foreman tried to psyche him out at first which would've been game over.

Read the manga

Can I just continue the manga from where the anime ends or is it different enough I should start over?

Never.
Praise your Pachinko overlords goyin

Never. You're getting non canon Tonegawa comedy and you're gonna LIKE IT damnit

You can continue with the manga perfectly fine. Only difference in the manga iirc is a couple of cut pages, otherwise it's entirely the same. Read up on the basics of mahjong before starting part 3 though.

Watch Tetsuya

Before I started watching this show someone told me the artstyle could be a big turnoff but I actually really love the way it looks. Do people think it's ugly? I wish more animes looked as distinct as Kaiji.

man i wonder what made them do tonegawa, like if kaiji/akagi were Fate levels of popular I'd understand, not complaining though

I see people say it's ugly on Yea Forums fairly often
I love it though. Manga admittedly isn't the best art, but Madhouse translated it extremely well.

it's right here youtube.com/watch?v=4SGBX3xKwFo

One: there's no cute girls, so that turns away 90% of the anime-watching population.
Two: it's very sharp and angular, with very exaggerated facial features, and the list of people that are supposed to look pretty are very small. Honestly it feels like the majority of the characters are supposed to be ugly in-universe, even. Compare this to the average artstyle where the eyes are the only defined feature, and things like noses are straight up non-existent. A character's only considered "average" by way of having no defining features, even if they look flawless otherwise.

Maybe they think it's ugly, but I think that the majority of them take one look and say "eww, that's too different from what I usually like" and then never look again.

Though, the manga isn't perfect. His art can be pretty stiff and undynamic, even if all that takes place is people sitting in chairs.

FKMT's style certainly got better over the years but my main gripe was how the noses would be off most of the time on the "straight-on" angles. The noses just aren't long enough which is off putting, which is something Madhouse luckily avoided in both Akagi and Kaiji.

No, not at all. Even if you know how to play reading Akagi is a bad way to try and learn strategy since the characters constantly cheat and/or have literally supernatural luck

akagi starts as a novice with 0 experience in mahjong as well. i think there was some sections where he gets basic rules explained to him as he plays.

When Kaiji brings down all of Teiai in a high-stakes game of Tic-tac-toe that for some reason is played using a massive machine constructed specifically for that purpose.

when kaiji wins against hyuudou for the ownership of all of teiai

in a game of uno

When kaiji plays yugioh against kaiba

I hope FKMT never dies.
I wish the soundtrack guy for kaiji was never sent to jail.
I wish pachinko isn't all we'll ever get for season 3.
I wish I understood mahjong.

I loved in tonegawa when he just walks in and its rigged for him to win

Kaiji is the most relatable thing

zawa zawa

I want an edit of this with exodia mixed in

It's weird to think about old people watching anime let alone playing games from said anime.

Literally Big Smoke

You can do something about that last one.

Why'd he go to jail

weed

>he fell silently

>ywn play high stakes uno
I don't know if I should be relieved or sad

Mahjong is not hard to understand. You don't need to memorize every hand. Just learn the fundamental gameplay

>that episode where the foreman goes topside, gets a suit, then goes to a bar & grill place and orders a huge beer and gulps it down to fuck with the heads of all the salarymen eating there on break
What a master troll. Loved every episode with him.

So does like Fukumoto make up all these crazy gambling games or something because I never heard of most of them. E-card looked like it would be fun.

They typically don't

I tried to get my mom to watch death note for shits and giggles but she couldn't get through one episode because "The faces don't move"

I think old people are literally incapable of enjoying anime aside from the rare exception

kino

this
i dont know most (or pretty much any) yaku, but just knowing the basic ideas got me through

I saw one of those exceptions yesterday at the book store
There was a guy that looked 60-70 just sitting in a chair with a stack of slice of life manga next to him, occasionally chuckling
i hope im like that guy someday

I'm learning moonrunes at the moment.
How much harder is it to learn Mahjong to understand the ark after the anime?

>That ending

lmao

To add to this the first time I looked up live action tutorials they were all shit because they focus way too much on details so I felt overwhelmed and gave up. The second time I tried to learn it for completion in yakuza 0 and there the guides actually get to the point. Search yakuza mahjong guide on youtube.

It's painful when you consider how amazing the dice arc is

That was my reaction most of the time. I mean, there are "nothing happened" episodes, and then there's bog.
Still one of my favourite anime.
