Hopefully Madhouse won't screw up the ending and wrap the events of the first part of the Kaiji manga successfully. I've still got the bitter taste of the Claymore ending... This was another great episode. Tonegawa is starting to fall apart. Someguy is right.

This was another great episode. Tonegawa is starting to fall apart.

There are three manga series of Kaiji, each with their own name and presumably their own closure. There is only one game left for the first manga series, so there is no reason that this anime should end unsatisfactorily. There probably will be a second season, but it would be based on the second manga series and so it should not effect the closure of this season.

This series really knows how to deliver intense cliffhangers. btw psgels if u really do like mind games without cheating go finish akagi. i like to think of akagi as kaiji's cousin anime; except it has a bigger and 10x smarter daredevil in it!

Because the anime was a straightforward adaptation Madhouse just left things as they were ;) In the case of Akagi, the reason why the anime had a non-ending was because the manga was never finished; Fukamoto got bored of writing it and left the story hanging.

He placed a citizen out there, then pulled it back making sure that Tonegawa saw it. Then he bled on both cards which really were the one's from the 11th match.

With Madhouse, it's almost certain that it's going to be the first option. These guys have always been lazy with adapting the endings of their adaptations (Shigurui, Claymore, Pet Shop of Horrors, Akagi (according to rumours I've read) and some would argue that with Death Note). I really hope I'm wrong in my fears here... Ack, not again! With Madhouse, it’s almost certain that it’s going to be the first option.

The former will feel rushed, but the latter will leave yet another cliff-hanger; neither outcome sounds ideal to me so I'm hoping to be proved wrong. All the same, this show has consistently rocked and rocked hard all the way through.
