I didn't expect Kaiji to become one of my favorite anime

How can 1 guy be so cool and also so dumb?
The soundtrack is also 10/10

Always glad to see that Kaiji Ultimate Survivor has claimed another victim

[@misterholmes221]

Kaiji is peak fiction. Far too underrated. People pay way too much attention to mainstream anime and miss this kind of stuff. Masterpiece writing and makes you so stressed.

[@AlexReads1613]

I mean.. to be fair it is pretty mainstream. In Japan at least it’s a household name and popular enough to warrant a million spin offs and three live action movies.

[@keicamboom9915]

The manliest crying guy, Kaiji is simply the best.

[@andrewlee5112]

Kaiji is my absolute favorite experience in anime. It is underappreciated and I hope that some day more of the story is told. I nearly burst into tears when I think of that moment when they are crossing the bridge and kaijis friend falls without making a sound because he wants kaiji to help his family that he felt like he never could. That moment is haunting and beautiful.

[@HighfireX]

Anyone who can empathize with Kaiji is ok in my book. Subbed.

[@romulusnuma116]

Kaiji is pretty fucking good

Make sure to read the manga too, it gets better and better and Kaiji makes even more friends too

The description you give just has so much joy and excitement and giving a nice and clear idea of what the show is about.

[@dumbfoundedkiryu9468]

Akagi and Kaiji are peak anime

[@omegothic]

anime is great, but the best arcs are left in the manga 😭😭😭 my personal favourite is kazuya hen, although people tend to like one poker hen the most. 2.4 billion escape arc is so chill, after everything kaiji's been through it's like a therapy.

[@omegothic]

also kaiji mario and chang are my precious children and i'm not letting anyone hurt them 🤺🤺🤺

[@canalsincontenido]

Now go read the manga! He bets organs, he cries in the bathroom, he unites SE Asia and becomes a revolutionary. He even buys a cellphone!

[@ZigKid3]

I love Kaiji. It's so underrated. I wish it was on more people's radars, like reaction channels.

[@fudanshisplashzone]

You're so right: Kaiji is so cool, and so so dumb

[@hugoman21]

same here i binge watched it for two days its one of my top fav

[@Scaring-Crows]

Well I'll be back after I watch it

[@alanw6616]

If you really did enjoy Kaiji that much I'd recommend its spinoff Mr. Tonegawa Middle Management Blues. It's probably one of the funniest shows out there that doesn't get the love it deserves because it's so overshadowed by Kaiji.

Kaiji is one of the best anime hoho. I think anyone who loves it should read the manga past the anime since i honestly think that some of the best arcs of kaiji are past it. The next arc is somewhat good but the two arcs after that are just so good.

[@BasicXrazor]

YEAH fellow kaiji fan!!!

Me not knowing whether to click off and go watch the anime or watch the video anyway because one of my faves made it 😭😭😭

[@orangesoda4535]

I think this is the first time I've seen someone like the pachinko arc. That shit dragged on so long my eyes and ears glazed over completely by the time they introduced the wind wall.

[@twiinsiink]

It certainly does drag a bit too long, but I still enjoyed it

Kaiji is good

[@GhostwalkerSparrow]

It’s a wild ride when in season 2 the final boss is a pachinko machine and every episode we’re just waiting to see if enough balls will fall down into the machine.

[@enderben2805]

this author is one of my favourites I learned mahjong after seeing akagi. And I watched that as i wanted to see more from the author of Kaiji, Noboyuki Fukumoto

[@princessdyn]

Zawa zawa zawa! Best sound effect in anime 😂😂😂

[@NobaraYuki]

If you’re up for anime recs. I highly rec Blue Lock as one of the year’s best. It was heavily influenced by Kaiji.

[@hinether]

part 3 is amazing, it'll probably never get animated with how technical and psychological the game can get, but I was so nervous reading it, hell for a second I might have completely believed that he wouldn't live, even though there was another part after it currently reading part 4 which makes me think if I really would trust my friends to make it through a death game, keep gambling tho

[@samirchanda3693]

[@ThisAccIsNoLongerAvailable.]

No shit, that really was

[@SparkleCakezz]

Oh dawg I could NOT look at the screen when Kaiji's nails were... y'know.

[@juaniignacio9140]

First game of season 3: satisfaction is so fleeting

[@mila1195]

We're waiting for the third season ;) I watched it recently. I totally agree. It's probably the only anime where I had to press pause sometimes to calm myself down xD If you haven't watched the live action I recommend it too. It doesn't beat the anime but for fans it's a cool movie to watch.

[@user-ex4dp5uk7v]

Kaiji is called a survival gambler bc his dumb as fuck when his comfortable but if his life is on the line he will survive

[@IoAKAIolite]

Fuuuuuck I had to look away while watching some of this I love shows this fucking intense but damn am I gonna have to look away with some of these scenes

[@theswiggitysignal6624]

Gosh what I would give to see some of the manga animated Honestly, the best of Kaiji is, in my opinion, the next 3 gambles in the manga. The story those three arcs tell is brilliant, I’d highly recommend reading it. There was one game I didn’t quite get but by the end I was still utterly entranced by Fukumoto’s ability to draw the coolest hype plot twists ever, even if I hardly know what’s going on in the case of one of those arcs

[@bestintheworld4850]

Kaiji is definitely one of the anime ever made. Jokes aside, it's probably my favourite anime, it's been since over a decade ago, imo the success of te Squid Game was because it copy pasted Kaiji story without the weird artstyle, the author actually admitted he was "inspired" by the Kaiji manga.

[@GraveUypo]

one thing no one pays attention to, but i think funai was EXTREMELY nice to kaiji when they met. the info he gave kaiji is easily worth more than the two stars kaiji paid for it. - There are repeaters playing the game. - There are "legal" ways to game the system, and thus, this is a game of wits, not luck. - People form teams and that's not illegal. - Stars can be sold and bought. - He taught a great method to get rid of unwanted cards - He also taught a really effective way to cheat people out of stars. - And of course, even before they talked, Funai helped kaiji by getting the full 10 mil in in front of kaiji and making his snap out of his loser mentality. Kaiji could have never known any of that on his own, and if instead of crying like a beach, he learned the lessons Funai kindly imparted on him, he could have left that ship with 6 or more stars EASILY since he got a 10 mil warchest. he could just go around offering 1 or 2 mil for stars from people who took the floor amount of money and had extra stars, and scam others the way funai scammed him. then at the end sell those stars 5 times as expensively. heck he could even bribe people into helping him cheat and all that crap. To be fair, this is like the 6th time i watch this anime and this is the first time i see this from this angle so can't blame kaiji for not seeing it the first time around either.

[@princessdyn]

To this day my little brother couldn't watch season 2 because he couldn't muster the mental fortitude to watch the old bad guy open his hand in the bet for Kaiji's fingers. That's how nerve wracking this anime is.

[@makaylahall2664]

I didn't have any patience with the anime so i read the manga and loved it more with every volume. Also the soundtrack kicks ass. I still haven't gotten to the sequel yet.

[@brandonontama2415]

Kaiji is awesome. If you love the mind games of Kaiji read the Liar Game manga, the tactics are awesome. Anyways, fantastic video I could feel the passion.

[@kurbis0729]

You should watch Akagi. Umm, because I like it and it’s a tiny bit like Kaiji and really, I just want that show to get more air time within any sort of media. Honestly, I don’t care to much if you watch it or not, I just like Akagi ;-; Edit: I do think Kaiji S1 and S2 are great, however, I do think the final games in each season are kinda bad. Though, I’m too lazy to say why lol, so if anyone cares to know just respond to this or something.

[@rhysjonsmusic]

I tried watching Akagi but I have no damn clue how to play Majong so I was pretty lost most of the time

[@XavielYouTube]

I'd say probably the reason why you think the final games are bad cause of pacing. Season 2 spent 16 episodes around kaiji taking down the pachinko machine. Season 1 the pacing was kinda bad, but not as bad as Season 2

[@jade93000]

such a good anime great video go watch it

what i find kinda interesting about kaiji fanbase is that for some reason it is largely consisted of females. if its not a majority, then its definitely a 50/50.
