| the last pachinko arc was too long imo however it was a really good ending to this great anime. Season one is better by all means but because of the beauty of ending, s2 is 9/10 for me. After all these things happened he could choose not to care about his friends and live his life with 60million yen however he didnt. Kaiji is the man you can trust <3 When the season one opening hit in the last scene of this episode, i couldn't hold the tears. After all these suffering, pain, stress and deaths they got the happy ending they deserved T_T I forgot to mention about narrator. He is the reason that i give an extra point to kaiji. He gave the emotion to watchers with his performance and makes you see scenes through the kaiji's eyes. One of the best narrator in an anime i have seen with the one that is in rainbow nisha. |

| It seems like they only made the ending fit well because the pachinko arc was stretched longer than it actually need to be. I don't think it was worth it, not that I'm one to care about clean endings. Seeing the range of emotions in the face of death and torture from Kaiji and everyone throughout the first season was one of the best parts of it. We spent over half this season kind of alone in the same room shifting back and forth between just tension and release. Also where's the だがしかし counter? Holy fuck if I wasn't playing Mahjong while watching this on the other monitor it would have been torture. |

| To stretch two games over twenty six episodes and still keep it exhilarating and even fresh, that takes some doing. I don't know if I would have had the same opinion if I was weekly watching this, but binging it all in only two days was a great experience. Much crisper animation, some of the best metaphoric imagery in anime, bizarre and ingenious strategies and outcomes throughout, the narrator hyping every episode and scene up lol, what a ride. It's funny at times as well, the overreactions, the distorted faces, the dialogue, it can also make you laugh. 9/10. |
| That Akagi sign sent shivers down my spine, I only just begun the manga and wonder if that's a "canon reference". Can't imagine what a pain in the ass this was for viewers following this while it as airing in 2011, oh well it was the same for Crunchyroll's comment-section with viewers anticipating the next episode only to realize it's the fifth Naruto or Bleach filler in a row. |
| i love how kaiji is still a loser gambling addict even after 2 seasons worth of torture and hell. makes him all the more human and i love him so much as a character for that |
| Good god it's finally over. The pachinko arc was pure torture. Well, I guess Kaiji decided to be a man to the very end |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| kaiji hit the jackpot but never really becomes rich :( but he's still the GOAT for freeing his gang +1. not as good as S1 but still a pretty solid on its own. just felt this pachinko arc dragged on for too long. still a 9/10 for me. |
 |
| It's end with nothing, like these whole 2 seasons of anime ended back to the start kaiji didn't have any money but at least he doesn't have any Debt (his friends debt actually), ahh and kaiji just looping from confident - fooled - cry the entire time |
| Kaiji will never be free as long as he keeps being so good (and bad) at gambling. In fact I expected him to gamble his last money on pachinko again, but we got a pretty weak slide show ending instead. Meh. |
| That was fun, at least the ending was more satisfying than S1 (despite Kaiji still getting swindled). I think I've had enough pachinko to last me a lifetime though, gonna watch some oppai anime to cool off after all that intensity. |
