How much do I need to know about Mahjong to enjoy Akagi?
You know it's a game? You know enough.
>>287670364just learn mahjong
Just learn to play casually. There are weeb versions on play store so you have no excuse really. 0 knowledge is ok too but I feel it's better to know some of the terms beforehand.
>>287670364Nothing at all.
>>287670364Mahjong? You just need to understand the basic premise. But how much do you know about the sands of hell?
>>287670364nothing
>>287670364picrel is all the knowledge you need
you will never know the satisfaction of finally being free from years of washizu hell
>>287670364akagi more about gambling than mahjong.Ten was about mahjong. Until it becomes a socratic dialogue about death.
RONG
>>287670364You might want to try playing the MahjongSoul tutorial for context.>>287670881Akagi is more about death which is tangentially related to gamblingThey're all about death honestly
>>287670364you can appreciate it without knowing anything about mahjong, but you will appreciate it more if you learn mahjong
>>287670364You can learn in the process. I knew nothing at all about mahjong, but the show did pretty well to explain the rules.
>>287671522Ironically the show explains more clearly mahjong later in the show rather than sooner due to how the writing evolved. Washizu mahjong is where even a jonglet can start understanding what's going on.
>>287670471Really
How many years do I need to work in an underground prison to enjoy Kaiji?
>>287672964Actually yeah. It's not so much about the technicality of his plays and a lot more about what they mean about him as a person (and for (You) as well)
