the positives:
i watched kaiji first, so it's cool to see akagi screw over the people who screw kaiji on a regular basis.
akagi it's a cool mc.
the negatives:
I knew nothing about mahjong before watching this, and I don't think I learned a single thing after, this anime expects you to know the basics of mahjong (which is fair, I guess, i don't think the autor thought that akagi would be watched outside of japan) so when the sections where they started talking about the plays i was there like "ahhhh i see i see" o i simply didn't read them, cause what for, it's not like i was learning to play mahjong, nor does the anime expects you to learn watching it, so keep that in mind if you plan to watch this.
