Christopher Perry
That pic with Yasuoka always gets me
Jackson Morgan
What the fuck are yo talking about? Back then they weren't playing with multiple ron rules. The win went to the closest counterclockwise player.
Joseph Diaz
What did he mean by this?
Ryan Perry
I don't think you understand
Agaki is going to gamble to the death
this means your death
He will continue to play Mahjong untill you keel over your monitor and die because you chose to bet on waiting on the manga, which was a single tile hell wait, and there was no way Akagi is going to deal it into your hand
Matthew Morris
Sup Forums used to have a good taste.
Aiden Lopez
At least Akagi explains why he did what he did and thought the way he did, it isn't like another mahjong anime that pulls crazy shit out of it's ass.
Joseph Hernandez
what? washizus monolog?
Gabriel Gomez
No, the manga

Logan Sanders
Can't watch this or read Kaiji part 3 because I'm too dumb to understand mahjong
Jason Scott
KAN KAN KAN RINSHAN KAIHOU
Xavier Walker
Only thing that gets me about mahjong is the point system.
Lucas Lopez
I only watched the first series of Saki, does it get better in Nationals?
Ryder Stewart
2005>2007

Jack Adams
Should I watch Akagi or Kaiji? Or both? Which should I watch first? Why cant I find anywhere to read them?
Julian Phillips
source?
can't get better than first season. avoid achiga-hen.
Colton Morales
not really, S2 ends after the first round
i need my resolution damnit.
Brody Baker
Personally prefer Kaiji, but both are good. I think Akagi gets a little too one note after a while, while Kaiji's a bility to actually fail raises the stakes a bit more.
Juan Robinson
You're not half bad, user. I'll start with Akagi if thats the case. I believe the mangaka wrote it first anyway, right?
Wyatt Butler
Kaiji is about a loser drowning in debts trying to salvage himself through a variety of highly risky gambles, generally much more dramatical Akagi is about some elder-god of instinct catapulting himself through the underworld due to his sheer ability, but only focus on one game, ie mahjong Both are extremely fine, part 1 manga of Kaiji is sadly not translated but the anime adaptation is amazing. Everything of Akagi has been translated so far, I'd suggest Kaiji first to get a feel for FKMT's style then go for the Akagi anime
Connor Howard
Kaiji also has variety and Kaiji is a generally better character than Akagi. Kaiji is one of the only anime I can think of that could make that Pachinko arc work as well as it did.
Luis Miller
Akagi is actually a prequel to his first major manga, Ten, which is focused on technical mahjong from the 3/4 of it Akagi came I think second along with Gin to Kin, a manga around mafia and economics, and Kaiji began third in 1996

Adrian Robinson
Just finished the regional (EP 19) this was the biggest asspull I've seen in anime.
Wyatt Powell
Asspulls like that is what makes Saki hard to enjoy.
Aiden Butler
>Kaiji is one of the only anime I can think of that could make that Pachinko arc work as well as it did. Haruhi S3 was better
Cameron Rivera
Because it was actually a Heist arc The pachinko was just extra flavoring
Hudson Davis
The match ends in 3 more chapters, the manga ends next year
Dominic Scott
Kaiji Part 3's only barrier is the basic requirements to a hand and what the tiles are. At least that's how I enjoyed it.
Elijah Gutierrez
That's why Achiga-hen is the superior Saki anime.
Mason Rivera
Anyone have that comic of the guy watching Akagi for the first time and progressively becoming more Yakuza
Wyatt Anderson
YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEGAAAAAMAN BAKARI DE

Gabriel Thomas
Got the other one when it end with "you son of a bit-"
Seriously though, what has prevented them from making an Akagi Season 2, or the very least Kaiji Season 3? Were they not very profitable?
Christian Hernandez
I will always remember the moment that Kaiji tilted the entire goddamn building. It was so fucking bonkers I couldn't believe it.
Christian Miller
Just finished the first episode of Akagi. I'm already hooked, although I dont understand Mahjong very well. Nice fucking recommendation, friends.
Leo Williams
I think it's mostly due to changes in staff at Madhouse. I seem to recall Kaiji having really good TV ratings in Japan, which was odd for a late-night anime.
Robert Bailey
Not sure if they want to commit to 26 episodes of Washizu, that still doesn't finish the match.
Kaiji might be better, but I think people will be put off by a whole season with just one single game.
I'm surprised series like Gin to Kin, Zero or Kurosawa hasn't been animated though.
Hudson Robinson
I didn't know anything about Mahjong before watching it and I think I did ok other than the specific point system the game has. Everything was easier if you have the japanese Mahjong wiki up to look up terminology.
Aiden Williams
my favourite is when he fucked sideways the chief at the prison with fucking bones
Brandon Evans
Should make a Ten anime instead then.
Christian Butler
how far did the Akagi Live Action go?

is there any anime character who could beat Koizumi in a game of mahjong tho?

Michael Ramirez
It has been almost 5 years, which is apparently the usual amount of jail time. Him getting hired again is another story.
Grayson Howard
Mahjong newfag here. I understand the making 4 sets business, how discarding works, etc. But what does it mean when they stack a tile sideways on top of their concealed deck? Pic related.
Colton Stewart
It's just the tile they picked from the wall, some players will not put it and just discard it once they look at it if they don't need it.
Eli Morgan
Chi.
Jose Nelson
Why is Akagi so hot
David Brown
Who wins in a fight, Akagi or Kaiji?
Gabriel White
Isn't that match ongoing even today?
Bentley Morales
It's over
Justin Moore
Kurosawa
Kayden Nguyen
This is all I understood watching Akagi, and I still enjoyed it nonetheless
Andrew Martin
Did he at least yell Ron or does he genuilely kick the bucket without dealing the killing blow?
Lincoln Richardson
kaijis soundtrack is so underrated, especially season 1
Kevin Bell
Kaiji is cute.
Eli Morris
Hey, cheater, that's a furiten! You got no hand!
Joshua Reyes
>kaijis soundtrack is so underrated, especially season 1 No it's not. Everyone who's seen it or listened to it knows it's great. Just because every normalfag and their mom doesn't blast it day in day out doesn't mean it's underrated.
Aaron Cruz
Kaiji is not very marketable. It's not like you can sell merch of the cute girls in Kaiji because there are no cute girls. Kakegurui (gambling manga focused on girls) will be adapted by MAPPA soon. Maybe if it sells well we'll get Kaiji S3.
Robert Nguyen
How the fuck do you cheat on pachinko?
Colton Butler
Believe in your dreams.
Julian Barnes
1) Change the size of the calibrating tool for the width of the gap to get past the first stage 2) Sabotage the mechanical door to get into the 3 plates 3) Fire a shitzillion balls through until the first and second plates are full 4) Keep going until the ball has no choice but to go down the hole even with the air jets
Luis Ramirez
Rent a room in the same building the pachinko machine is in and drop 20 tons of shit in there. Be careful to distribute this weight though or the balls may deviate to the left.
