Just finished the anime and it was fucking awesome... Why are there no more adaptations of the next parts? How would you rate the next parts? I'm going to look for the manga and continue with it. Please discuss more about Kaiji.

Hell yeah man
I watched the Kaiji anime a decade ago when I was a small lad and only recently at the ripe ol age of 25 rewatched it and continued on with the manga and it unironically changed my fucking life trajectory. I’ve read a lot of Fukumotos work now and I love gambling manga. Usugoi is a fucking insane ride as well, high recommend after you’re done with Kaiji.
It is an incredibly fun ride and the next couple games take place in one single night where Kaiji goes through sheer hell in Minefiled Mahjong, witnessing the Slavation Game and then finally facing off against the devil himself in One Poker to cap the night off.
Minefield Mahjong may be incredibly confusing at first and I actually read the entire thing complete clueless for the most part on how the game was being played and still had a wonderful time witnessing all the reveals and big character moments, and it most definitely sparked my interest in mahjong in a major way, I own my own tiles now and play with my friends and have a thorough understanding of how the game is played. The one they play in Kaiji is very simplified though, for the most part.
Kaiji is just such an awesome character, one of the best main characters ever put to page if you ask me. There is such a sincerity to Kaiji. It’s one of my favorites.
Pic related, my cat learning mahjong.

Go and fuck yourself with your blog, cunt.

Ah and a very brief explanation of how minefield mahjong is played if you were ever confused
In mahjong you have 13 tiles and need 14 to make a winning hand! A winning hand has 4 melds and a pair. A meld can be like 111 or 123, or 456 etc as long as it’s a sequence or a triplet that are all of the same suit. Kaiji and the boss take turns trying to make really strong hands that are worth a shit ton of points, however the hand they make can only have 13 tiles and they can *only get their last tile to complete their 14 tile hand by the other player discarding that tile*
So it’s a discarding game where both of them are anxiously discarding tiles and praying to Christ that they don’t deal the tile that finishes the other persons hand.
I hope that makes sense. It can be a lot on your first read and I wish someone explained it to me better. Best of luck and enjoy the manga

Awesome story and cute cat.

Why was this thread ruined?

the reason is because anime doesn't normally make a lot of money. anime is normally an engine to promote something that actually makes money. for example, the whole reason the second season of Kaiji exists is because they wanted to promote a Kaiji movie. people should be thankful that shit like netflix is actually keeping a lot of anime shit like Jojo still going, because if it was up to the japanese broadcasting industry, it would share the Berserk 1997 fate.

Gajins can't into mahjong.

Cause the part 2 was done for promoting the live action films and advertising slots.
Part 3 is adapted but scattered in slot machines.
>I'm going to look for the manga and continue with it.
please do so, minefield and one poker are my favourite parts.

What do you mean?

>>281126558
I sure can't

>>281126558
It's just poker with tiles
What ruins it is that it all comes down to chance, and you don't have a good intuition for what the odds actually are

You play pachinko slot machines and see animated parts when you win.

>>281123681
I'm glad you and your fuzzy boy learned mahjong!

Make sure to read Akagi and Ten as well, this is one life changing story for sure.

>have to gamble to watch S3
how ironic

S3 anime would be meaningless, this is the kind of stuff you have to read

Unfortunately, there is a third season.
Is just a bunch of shorts in a pachinko machine.
No, im not joking.

Besides that, there is a spin off focusing on Tonegawa and ocassionally Outsuki and the casino twink, which is kindda nice.

Why do people call this a third season instead of just another pachinko animation? That's not a weird thing.

>>281133195
Actually there's a manga for Ootsuki, a manga for Ichijou and a manga for Tonegawa. The Tonegawa anime had a few Ootsuki chapters adapted but they're all great and worth reading, honestly as good as Kaiji. Especially Ootsuki
