This anime is da one of da best anime what i've ever seen.
Kaiji is soooo... real.
But final... GRAAAAAAAAAAH, HE'S SO PATHETIC! So pathetic... He made me cry AGAIN! :c

If he changes, he wouldn't be as entertaining and hilarious as before xD.
I still laugh to death watching episode 24. My lungs! xD

A good show, however what this season lacks in comparison to the first was the psychological speeches like from Tonegawa which really put emphasis on human thoughts and emotions. I felt that really made the series much more meaningful than the actual suspenseful events. Still, it was the best show I've seen recently.

8/10

Wow, that was a blast. Kaiji would be the best pal ever.

I'm surprised. I thought he would have ended off much worse.
His inevitable downfall is fated for next time.

Would have been better had they trimmed down some of the bog episodes. It was ingenious at first, but after all his cards were played all those coincidences seemed to have come out of left field. It wouldn't have been as bad if it wasn't for the fact that they dragged out that arc far longer then they should have. Couldn't help but be reminded of DBZ. The final showdown with the BOG started at what ep 16? we had 8 episodes(2.4 hours) of kaiji trying to take down the bog. Maybe if they had taken 6 episodes it wouldnt have felt as cliched. A lot of time it looked as if they were trying to fill time.

The first season was way better and more intense imo.. I still loved s2 but I prefer s1.

The games for the 1st Season:

Paper-Scissor-Rock - Great/Epic

Bridge arc - garbage

Card game - average

Tissue Box - absolute garbage


2nd Season:

Dice game - great

Bog- EPIC


Overall S2 was better

^ Nah bridge and e-card were amazing, the Bog was way outta line

I would put it at

Paper Rock Scissors>Dice>Bridge>E-Card>Bog>Tissue

Mine would be: Rock Paper Scissors>Bridge>Chinchirorin>Bog>Ecard>Tissue

It feels like people suddenly need to hate on S1 just because other people complain about the bog arc.

Tissue was a joke. Bridge would be my second worst just because it was so life-threatening and kind of depended more on physicality than strategy and manipulating opponents. All the others were good.

I can't believe the writer could make a pachinko arc with that much depth. The first level with the forest, the second with the jam, and the third levels with the blocked trays. That was just sheer brilliance. There was even some commentary about society again in here although it was pretty much overshadowed by the ball movements and the crying and yelling.

And once again Kaiji pretty much went out without winning anything. Well, that was kind of expected. Afterall, I think Kaiji's only flaw is that he just can't keep money in general. He may win outrageous sums, but he just have no control over saving them. It's like a common gambler's fallacy. Maybe he will change someday. Maybe he will topple Toiei someday.... and maybe I'll read the manga someday.

Give it a 9 just because there wasn't a disappointing ending like that tissue business in season 1. And I almost, almost wanted to see Kaiji meeting that guy's daughter, lol. And it look like "she" did just before Kaiji hugged the gang.

Finished marathoning...

God, that bog arc. I was ready to flip a desk whenever things went from good to bad, then back to good, then back to bad. The ending was decent. Kaiji can't be Kaiji if he ain't broke. Flawed moe manly teary Kaiji ftw.

Just finished marathoning this myself.

Bog arc too way too much time. No news of 3rd season so far D:

That was definitely worthy for my 150th series.

Paper Rock Scissors > Dice > E card > Bog > Bridge > Tissue Box

Kanji was too naive, most of the time. After all he went through, he still can't cherish a victory as a true winner should xD

Endou is such a clever guy, it seems so easy to trick the 'winning loser' at any occasion.


The second season gets a 8/10 from me as the pachinko arc was too long and too dramatic to my tastes. Nothing beats the E Card after all.

This season was and had a pretty good ending but i enjoyed the first season more because there more games being played instead of just play with a machine for 15+ episodes. I thought for sure Kaiji was going to forgot about paying off the guy's debt from the first season. Pretty surprising.. :O

And.... Endou is a piece of fucking shit.

8/10

Damn, even when Kaiji wins, he loses. Ah well, at least it ended on a positive note somewhat. It ended a hell of a lot better than the 1st season, that's for sure.

At least he slept well in Hotel Akagi :)

>Take it you bloodsuckers.

Nice, Kaiji-kun.

Well, overall the series was okay imo but the Bog arc was dragged way tooo much. As regarding this finale, I thought it was okay but the ending was kinda cliched with the happy ending. It would of been better if they did a "wat if" or open ended endings imo.
