About this app

Let's talk about the main character, Kaiji is a total loser at the beginning of the anime and he has the opportunity to rebuild his life, so he accepts naively a proposal that is far from innocent and begins to pay the cost of the shenanigans of his opponents. Yes, Kaiji is not at all a genius like Akagi, it's a normal guy with quite simple reasoning but that's when everything is fine because when he is back to the wall, Kaiji reveals a more flowing imagination for find a way out, he goes through total despair before he recovers and decide not to give up, in short, he acts as a normal type but in critical situations, it exceeds this status. One can say however that if Kaiji manages to win his bets, he must be able to get out of his debt situation. Well, not at all because Kaiji has the profile of the naïve and marginal type and in this world of brutes, he still believes in friendship and honesty and his failures do not seem to teach him anything. So when he earns money, he spends it trying to save other people, Kaiji could have been rich many times but he is too generous to be rich. One feels for him pity and sympathy and one comes to wish for his victory at any price. The anime offers lots of rots and yakuza of all kinds but still we observe qualities in some and we come to feel respect for the opponent who lost so rotten it is when we discover that is ultimately just a human too.


If the clashes are only games, they are still terribly intense because of the enormous stakes they imply and the offside situations are not left either because it is a question of events and betrayals in this world are numerous. The anime really presents a realistic world with its crooked, losers and rotten. Only point to get past to achieve what really makes the strength of this anime, namely are history is the design of the characters. Yes, as in Akagi, we are entitled to very geometric heads that we must get used to even if it fits perfectly to the universe, we must get into it and persevere beyond the appearance to get to the true wealth of anime.

In conclusion, I would say that it is an excellent anime where the tension does not fall almost and where one takes of sympathy for the hero. We follow all these games with diligence especially as unlike the mahjong of Akagi, the rules understand very quickly because they are explained in a simple way and are themselves. To watch for all those who love the unpredictable plans, the suspense and the psychological aspect of the clashes that involve the reactions, fears and feelings of humans.
