| Daaaamn that was way too sudden. Akagi was an amazing series. 10/10 for making mahjong intense beyond belief. |
| Even though the victor of the match was pretty much already decided from the end of the Yakuman hand loss, I would have loved to see Akagi crush Washizu. Would have gotten a 10/10 from me if only they haven't drag that last few one pin episodes too much.. |
| Akagi was effin great lol...loved it |
 |
| Finished too quickly like they rushed it.. should of fit two more eps in..i wanted washizu to take the last round and then i wanted to see akagi victorious and you dont even get to see what happens to the cops and akagi in the future wtf? |
 |
| I can't believe this shitty ending |
| It's not really an ending. It just stops abruptly since the manga is still ongoing. |
 |
| Kinda glad its over, but the ending was a bit too sudden. =| |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| What a sudden ending....but Akagi was badass beyond belief. 9/10 as a whole for me. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| The ending wasn't bad... It was very sudden, but at least he didn't die. :P Kaiji is more interesting... I like Kaiji more because Kaiji isn't perfect; he isn't a genius who wins every time, he's just a guy, but he overcomes so much. Akagi basically wins every time. Well, I liked Akagi a lot. |
| The unfortunate part is that Akagi has not yet been completed. It is up to volume 24 and the anime stops at volume 10. Along with this, there are no scanlaters for Akagi. There are over 200 exciting chapters out and yet the anime only reached around chapter 110. Rather unfortunate I'd say. I did see the images of the manga and I'd have to say that despite the lack of text, it is simply stunning... |

| Meh, pretty rushed ending... but it was retardedly good. 8/10 I still don't like Akagi (Character) in my mind, hes just a madman with insane mahjong skills and a doctorate in psychological research. |

| The ending really wasn't needed. Obviously, what happens is that they play some more mahjong, Akagi starts to win and then starts losing again. Then narmy special effects cover up the fact that, yet again, Washizu is carrying the Idiot Ball in the last game. Akagi wins, but in such a way that he still has to pay up a fatal amount of blood. The blood is drawn and, miraculously, he's still alive. Akagi then reveals that he got a blood transfusion along with the soda while he was at the clinic (biggest lolwut reason I've ever heard for seeing a doctor. The soda, not the blood, though that's pretty ridiculous too. Might be that the soda is blood, but same idea either way). Cue everyone exclaiming at what a genius he is for stocking up on blood when he's going to try and beat a nutcase who kills by exsanguination. 7/10 for me. It had it's moments, but I wasn't impressed. |
| WTH kind of ending is this??? I gave it a 6/10. I was really feeling it at first, but the dragging on of the Washizu arc, combined with the weird character designs and the lame ending made me give it much lower score than I originally intended. |
 |
| If they were gonna make the ending like that they shouldnt have been up all the drama and boring episodes before hand. bad ending to a good anime. 7/10 |
mellors said: Lol I like how they made that one game of Mahjong 11 episodes, which is practically the length of an average series now, yet it still didn't actually finish on screen. Like I said before, it's because the manga was/is still ongoing. Last I heard, Washizu & Akagi were still battling it out in the mansion. |
|
| Lol'd at almost an entire arc's wroth of episodes about drawing the One Pin Otherwise it's fair that they ended it this way, definitely a 8.5, but would bump it up to a 9 ala MAL rating system. To be this engrossed in an anime about gambling, they did a good job with it. |
| Would have preferred Wahizu to die of a heartattack in the end, but well, guess this has to be enough. Still, kinda unsatisfying.. |
| Gotta say ... WTF is with this ending? Lol O_O Akagi won, methinks, but ... Meh, I gotta say the end dragged it out too long :S I didn't mind the art style and I really loved the music haha XD Erm ... characters ... OK ... I'd give this 8.5/10 ... but ... I have to round this one down unfortunately :P |
| Very anti climatic, really needs a proper ending. I'd still give the series a solid 8/10. |
 |
| Good series, anti climatic ending lets the series down as a whole. Still a great, solid watch, I'd rate it overall 8/10 due to the "painful" ending. |
Will you be able to do.... what must be done? |

| This was definitely a satisfying ending for me. At the very least, they showed the winner and showing Akagi is still Akagi after all those years. |
 |
| thatcakagi!! |
| Ending was way too sudden, this could've easily made a 10 afskdjbgkjbsdfkjgkjsbndflkmgsdfg |
| same thing that happened with Claymore & Elfin Lied... rushed ending... dammit again :( Akagi and Kaigi are presentations of anime at its best though. Glad to have stumbled upon them through MAL's DeathNote "recommendations" lol . |

| Disappointing ending. They already took it too far with the Washizu arc, so they should have at least concluded it. I guess it didn't become a drag to watch to the level the Bog arc in Kaiji did, since despite being too long it was still rather well-paced, especially in comparison, but still... still... |

| It was an alright serie and I enjoyed it :) |
| bah, really sudden ending lets the series down. It was fun till this last final arc, then it suddenly got a slower pace and ends with an abrupt ending without even showing how the game is concluded. |
| That was a fast ending. I enjoyed the ride, I like Mahjong even more now, i'll give it a 8/10 |
 |
| very exciting end but mahjong rules is complicated ... i still prefer Kaiji |
| What happened to all those bag full of energy drinks? |
| Akagi second season when? I Keep on waiting and nothing :( |
AhmedHan said: What happened to all those bag full of energy drinks? I think it was done to hide the true reason from other guys. So he plays mind games even against his own side... |
| The story was really nice, no complaints about that. However I really disliked the fact that we didn't get to see how Akagi won. That was really weird. Anyway, it was a good watch. |
 |
| Such a great anime, and the the first ending song is amazing. Without a doubt in my top 5 ending songs of all time. The ending felt rushed, but I'll read the manga because I'm sure it'll tell more about the last match, even though it's clear Akagi won. |
| Damn, the ending seemed a bit ambiguous. Nonetheless, series was enjoyable but sometimes lacked flavor. I also felt the OST of this series is a bit inferior compared to Kaiji. |
 |
| The ending was the thing that made me rate the series a notch lower. If they hadn't brag so much in the previous episodes, maybe they could finish the series properly. It seemed clear they didn't want to end it like this. |

It seemed clear they didn't want to end it like this. Definitely. I thought maybe I could stick a score to it, but then it didn't end properly. If only they didn't waste that 3 episodes on him talking about killing Akagi I'd have a higher opinion. However, started off as an awesome show. Akagi is mad and I love that. :D Pre-time skip was excellent. |
| That ending....feels rushed. Overall, a solid and interesting series. The first couple of episodes was probably the highlight of the series for me. |
 |
| Akagi w/ the best poker face I've ever seen. What a champ. |
