Thats really what kept me going throughout the Human Derby arc. Kaiji certainly has the tension going for it. Thats really what kept me going throughout the Human Derby arc.

Japan had. I need to back to Akagi, if the last arc is as ridiculous as you said, I might be able to put up with it's plodding, I guess I just find Mahjong a bit boring.

It's not like the absolute best of anime I've seen, but plot thickens every single episode and I just can't wait what happens in the next episode. I haven't felt this way in any anime for such long time, it's so nice to watch these kind of shows again. Good thing about Kaiji is that I can’t stop watching it.

I'm not sure how realistic the Mahjong is (and the last arc is quite ridiculous) but it doesn't get as crazy as Kaiji. Akagi is off-putting because it really gets technical with the games, whereas Kaiji is slightly more accessible given the games are all explained, and quite simple. I think I still like Akagi a bit more, though. Akagi is probably more, uh well… it’s probably more high brow than Kaiji, I guess.

This bugger is a more realistic character, making the insane things he does more impressive. lol, Kaiji is a lot more interesting than Akagi to me.

Glad to see something kind of cool finally happen at least, if more episodes were dedicated to Kaiji physically mutilating himself I'd be pretty happy.

So is that a new cliché ichimimi ? Also I was surprised when I saw on MyAnimeList that Kaiji was ranked like ~135 while Hayate was ~240. It's more popular than I thought At first I thought he just cut himself badly around there to bleed a lot and drop his pulse and warmth…

But in any case, 'a whole new level of insane' neatly sums it up. I guessed at what Kaiji had done once he re-entered the gaming room, but that didn't make it any less insane. I spent the episode going 'He didn't . . . did he?' before the revelation.

What you're describing does indeed sound pretty awesome, but human horse racing and rock, paper, scissors is not the best kind of dramatic build up. I agree with Link on this one.

It's not as compelling or interesting to me. It's boring, if anything, which is why I stopped watching it a long time ago.
