| Rock, paper, scissors lol |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| pretty obvious that douche bag was gonna cheat him. why tf trust him after the first loss? this show moves so fast |
~my list
| Argh the situation looks so dire, I'm sitting at the edge of my seat. |
 |
| Goddamnit Kaiji! You fell right into the trap again! You're so stupid. But, it seem like that ultimate defeat awoken something in him. He won't make the same mistake twice. The problem is to know how to get those stars back. He have no time to lament. I must say, I wonder how they can keep a 26 episodes anime interesting with only rock-paper-scissor. There must be a way I'm not seeing. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| How the hell did he not realize he was getting conned the moment he lost the first round lol. |
 |
| Freaking intense. Just like everyone else, I saw it coming, but it was done really well, so I can't complain. I'm curious how the underdogs deal with the situation. |
| The setup really reminds me of liar game :p |
| Lmao what a fucking pussy, bawling his eyes out. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I saw the charming backstabber act from a mile away just from how friendly he sounds but I guess that I'd have fallen for it too given the desperate situation at that moment. Kaiji crying after he had his trust crushed is like seeing an innocent loli finding out the world's cruelty the hard way ;-; I cannot stress enough that the soundtrack is a golden atmosphere provider ♡ Him bouncing back and even gathering two poor souls for a last stand gave me a lot of hype for the next episode. Let's do this~ |
 |
| this was pretty epic actually...i think it got me too :) ...but i think one of the lessons here is never trust anybody and an alliance in this kind of place is never great 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Funai tricked him. |
 |
| The despair, the regret. Damn, Kaiji was dumb but in a believable manner. Who wouldn't? I mean, a lot of people faced that kind of shit in real life many times and the fear and disappointment that comes afterward. The camera shaking in specific moments of tension and the always present effect of the OST (or the lack of it) is amazing. I'm really looking forward to this. 5/5 |
| The first episode was great, but this one just flew by! |
 |
| Well, it was obvious that Fukai would stab Kaiji in the back,the situation kinda reminded me at HxH and Tonpa. Still interesting situation right now,wonder if all three are going to make it and if there will be another betrayal. Gotta say only two episodes in and I'm already sold,this anime is thrilling as hell. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This reminds me of HxH this intensity is amazing. |
| Ehhh, I dislike that part when Kaiji was deceived by Funai. He is an idiot. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| This was nerve-wracking as hell. Funai's intentions were obvious from the start but the way Kaiji got to action after that is really exciting. |
  |
| Ugh, I'm not liking this at all. The story seems shallow and relies too much on narration, it just feels like I'm getting so much shoved in my face at once and none of it having any substance, it already feels like they are just trying their best to stretch this thread bare plot over 20 some odd episodes. Also the art is pretty dull and the animation isn't very good. That along with the standard more repulsive japanese culture tropes is making this very hard to watch, might drop this and choose something else for this slot in the challenge. Too bad too, since the first episode made it seem like it had potential, I'll give it one more episode, but that's it. Also, I'm not sure what was so intense or nerve wracking about this episode, I was just annoyed that the show was over explaining everything, in fact I was just bored and wanted the show to be over like two thirds of the way through. |

| Lol this is atually really cool, I like where it's going. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I can't believe Kaiji fell for something so obvious xD |
 |
| thats some crazy rock paper scissors, twas a bad idea to trust that lad, but at the same time in moments of despair its to be expected. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Still not a fan of the theme, but I'm anxiously following the events :3 |
 |
| 2 episodes and i'm already hooked. this is very exciting so far |
| This is getting addicting to watch, Kaiji is just keeps getting manipulated and then cheated that guy is just so good at convincing, no wonder hes a a pro member around here |
| this anime is a pleasant surprise |
| Holy crap my heart was racing the whole time. I love this tension |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| jesus, some of the stuff they say really hits. relate even more to kaiji. kaiji tryna gather the weak to work together. |
 |
| In episode 2, "you can't put your life on the decisions of others", Kaiji stepped on a rake and decided to win by uniting with others. From the very first episode, I was fascinated by the statue of Nika, to which people are crawling (all great works have a reference to antiquity). |
| It's all good and nice but this tonekawa or whatever his name is, chief dude, has SUCH a non-threatening, non-authoritative voice like they really ate shit with this va casting huh |
