Kaiji series direction?????

Can someone enlighten me on what was the purpose of the tonigawa series, i got lame responses last night like it was to promote the latest kaji live action movie.

which i disagree with, if anything it'd ruin the promotion and make people walk away from the live action film.

If they wanted to promote kaijis movie, bring another legit kaji season out.

That series was amazing.

Couldnt bear tonigawa spin off series, was random, not funny and not exciting.

Hopefully we get a true anime sequel.

Idk what you mean "purpose" It was just intended to be a comedic spin off of Kaiji. Personally I'm about half way through, and obviously it comes nowhere close to replicating the tone or atmosphere of Kaiji- but it was never supposed to.

im probably one of the biggest kaiji fans, but couldnt watch tonigawa, usually if i love a series, i can even watch the omake skits and ovas.

But yeah tonigawa wasnt my cup of tea.

I just wanted to know if any jap interviews were out there to translate or why its happened this way.

Id prefer to watch the anime thriller tell the story.
No offence to the live action but they were like 10% of kaijis animes greatness

Johan said:


Yeah I agree with that; though that being said the Kaiji live actions were still better than most live actions

But yeah I'm ot a big fan of Tonigawa either. It's pretty meh.

Agreed Ill probably still watch it, and the dude acting in all the death note live actions is doing it again, so it should be pretty good.

But if they later release a anime adaption, the suspense of whats going to happen wont be as dramatic, so maybe ill hold off on the live action, for a few years just incase.

But if no further kaiji anime, ill watch the live action.
