I know we're talking about Akagi, but is Kaiji season 2 good? I watched season 1 and felt a bit bitter that there wasn't much of a conclusion, do they blueball you again?
>>288244949It's a little bittersweet but yeah it's good. Watch it.
>>288243003Yes.
>>288241811kill yourself NPC
>>288244949The story keeps going in the manga, but the end of part 2 is satisfying as-is. The real question on whether or not you'll enjoy it is that there are only two games, and the latter one takes about 16 episodes. This arc is really divisive, with some believing it drags on too long, and others believing it's the best animated arc
>>288241920>I know you are but what am I

>>288242734Excellent post sir
Would he let you ..you know.. if you tried to gamble him for it
I thought it was a lucky star cig ad or something
>>288246881He would struggle and cry and beg all the while, but yes.
>>288241811>buzzword, buzzword, buzzwordGet the fuck off of my board you twitter tourist FAGGOT
>>288241476It's good until he spends the entire latter half of the anime battling some lame vampire guy with a stupid gimmick.I looked up the manga thinking it would have many more villains but it turns out THE ENTIRE REST OF THE STORY IS THAT SAME FUCKING MATCH AND IT GOES ON FOR LIKE 15 MORE VOLUMES.I don't know wtf the author was thinking, I guess he blew his creative load with a few good villains early and couldn't think of where to go from there.
I really recommend you to read the washizu arc. it is an amazing manga arc although it takes fucking forever to finish.Then read ten, which is the direct continuation (Akagi is actually the prequel to ten)The read Hero, which is the direct sequel to ten.I finished reading Hero literally a few hours ago and it was really fucking good although I must say some of the cheats they were using were a little out there and the artist style clashes a little with Fukumoto designs but it quite the enjoyable experience, the final match was mega based, a few characters from Ten and Akagi come back into this series.
>>288249398it took him 20 fucking years to finish washizu mahjong arc, he really took his sweet time.>>288244949it is just as good as the first season.really shame that season 3 and Ten are all stuck in fucking pachinko. I wonder how much money they make out of that.
This man funny
>>288249398>blew his creative loadFMKT has like 6 other mahjong series, he's done an awful lot of creative stuff with just mahjong
>>288249543he is also great in tonegawa anime
>>288249543>>288249599The Ootsuki spinoff is actually one of the best FKMT (technically) works ever
>>288249676
>>288249676Truth nuke. I fucking love that manga.
>>288249676>Ootsuki spinoffgonna have to read it next then.
>>288241476Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa when?
>>288241811>She thought OP meant the character designs
>>288249986I can't overstate how good it is honestly. The Ichijou one is a bit less good but still great and already concluded
>>288249398FKMT is at his best when he focuses on one big arc
>>28824939870 IQ post. Washizu mahjong is by FAR the best part of Akagi
>>288241476>watch this in 2007 with /a/>learn to play mahjong in their irc channel>fall off it for 20 years>come back and play mahjong soul with /vg/ in 2026What a long, strange trip it's been.
>>288249398Washizu Arc is actually a kino of the highest order. But I'd assume your expectations can hamper the experience.
>>288242681>I know everything that's in your hand>I know every tile you don't want to discardthis was probably the silliest moment in the series based on pure skill alone
>>288250739The feat is absurd but he didn't know every single tile, just "he has 2p from pair, if he draws nothing safe that's coming out"
>>288250433This but when I watched ICE COLD K recently. Strange to think I've solely learnt the game through manga and anime over the years
>>288249676I am checking the manga sites here and apparently there's an one shit volume and then it goes directly to volume 5 is this correct ?
>>288251145No, there are 150 chapters or so. Check mangafire.to
>>288249543NOUUU COUNTOUHNOUUU COUNTOUHNOO COUNTNOO COUNT
>>288245176Can't. Yama-jii beat me to it.
>>288241811fpbp unironically
how is the kaiji namek going on?
>>288250047Kurosawa bros have been waiting in the mud for like 15 years and still no proper adaptation lmao. Unironically though, if they did it right it’d destroy half the “literally me” protagonists that came after it. Middle-aged wagecuck delusion arc into full blown schizophrenia redemption speedrun. Absolute kino. But knowing the industry they’d sand off all the suffering and make him some quirky underdog and completely miss the point. FKMT works best when it just lets the cringe and pain sit there and marinate.
>>288245140A big problem was the OP showing Otsuki, then Ichijou, then finally Hyoudou implying there would be another three game run up to the big boss again, and we would maybe get some closure with Kazutaka. Instead new viewers got blindsided with 16 episodes of The Bog and no resolution at all to Hyoudou.
>>288253369Kaiji beating Hyodou would probably be its own part, "the big boss" is an apt comparison, it's like in videogames where you have a scripted fight with the final boss early on to show how powerful he is, you don't fight him again just 4 hours later, you go through a big quest until you're strong enough to take him on. I'd call it satisfying since if you ignore part 3 onwards, Kaiji is debt free, and he helped the 45ers and Ishida's son pay off their debts. He's not better off than at the beginning, but he did essentially get a chance to stop gambling and go on with his life, even if the existance of part 3 and beyond shows he didn't take itThat's also probably a factor in why we never got part 3 animated, unlike part 2 where you can ignore the events after it, part 3 leads directly into 4, and 4 directly into 5 (I didn't finish part 5 due to personal circumstances, but I'd assume it leads directly into 6). So you'd either have to adapt all of them, or end on a cliffhanger (Part 6 isn't over yet, which also doesn't help)>>288253359I cried for an hour after reading the ending, can't imagine experiencing it again but animated (Same goes for Ten)
>>288241476there's not nothing to learn or to get from akagi, it's just him being a daredevil at the mahjong table. it's like a battle shonen. ten is better but i think there's no anime and i know reading makes your head hurt so dont even try it, you wouldnt get it anyway.
>>288241476Yeah, it's very addicting but you won't understand any of it. Quite telling, we are attracted to interesting visuals, excellent voice acting, and human emotions portrayed realistically when confronted with someone or something larger than life. Everyone in the show hypes Akagi through excellent voice acting and dialogue, so we can't help but feel their hype despite not knowing why Akagi is so great exactly.
>>288241476It's a normalfag reaction if that's what you're asking, yes. Please try to be better.
>>288253359kurosawa part 2 is an abomination against god and retroactively ruined part 1 for me, so i really don't care if it never happens
>>288241476read ten
OPEN THE ROOM
>>288253743Akagi is literally about the same things as Ten including the "message" though
>>288250151i read the ichijou a long time ago. i didn't think it was that good.
>>288243003>westerners out of nowhere
Akagi is the manliest work of all time. Not in the way that "oooooh it's so masculine", in a way that women (read: real women) will NEVER understand. They can pretend, but they will never be able to truly grasp it.
>>288254076>presented as this big ass gambler that never loses>loses immediately>later in ten he loses againgreat fucking gambler this guy. Jokes aside I think ten is the only one who never loses until the very and of hero.
>>288254076>filename
>>288241906Ironically your reply to him actually ended up being how the whole thread reacted
never read or watched akagi but I really really liked the kaiji anime so i tried to read the manga where that left off and the next thing is mahjong and I read that whole part and still don't really get mahjong but there was one scene in it that I found kino
lads what if i...just don't like mahjong that much?
>>288241476yeah, it's normal
>>288257695Opposite of my problem. Mahjong is great, Akagi is shit. Despite watching around 5 different anime there still has never been a mahjong anime I enjoyed. Saki was the closest to the real thing imo but still littered with dumbass super powers.
>>288241476why haven't they made a mahjong crossover anime yet? they've gotta have enough series by now right? i want to see Akagi play high stakes mahjong with busty JKs.
>>288257695i don't enjoy mahjong all that much yet part 3 of kaiji has my favorite gamble of the series just in terms of character interactions, outside of the bogthough to be fair it's an extremely understandable variant of mahjong, so it's not that hard to follow the moves being made
>>288241476I can't will myself to continue reading the manga past this point knkwing it's 20 years of the same match,
Kaiji season 3 soon right guys ?
>>288260416Right after the akagi one
>>288260416i don't think it is ever happening. same for akagi season 2 and ten adaptations. they all have pachinko machines and they make a killing already. i think they would have to relinquish their rights to do the adaptations.
>>288250433CHINPO NYA!
>>288258255Horrible post
>>288241476I read the manga, but never watched the anime. Does it adapt everything?
>>288260416The composer was jailed 10 years for having a little bit of weed. Since then he's too mindbroken to continue making soundtracks. If he aint there it won't be kino, let alone be produced anyhow.
>>288262278Hahahhaha no.
>>288262278only up to 1/3 of washizu arc
here's a spoiler for the Hero mangaUrabe is in it
