Especially when the audience can figure out why he lost before Kaiji does. But later I recalled the part where Hyoudou gives Kaiji the winning lot saying that some of his luck may pass on to him. I hope Kaiji learns from his mistakes in the first season and transforms into another Akagi, because I don't want to watch another 26 episodes of Kaiji being a dumbass.

Probably 9/10 if I was in a good mood. It's all a matter of taste, but I'm not bothered by any of the problems that I hear people complain about. I’d go at least 8.5/10 easily.

I didn't like the graphics from the start, so i just didn't care watching to it And subbing this was preferred to Gunslinger Girl II. :( I hated it even more Is this show so good?

Personally I was more attracted by the tactics (simplistic though they can be for someone not under pressure the way Kaiji was), so not showing Kaiji's pain at the end was alright for me. A pretty unique series though, but do check out Akagi! It would have been Kaiji could have been released in 13 one-hour episodes, to get both both psychology and action in a single episode.

That's exactly why it turned out to be so disappointed. I said this before this series started dragging like crazy, and before the arrival of the beam-arc. Dragging is one thing, but Kaiji could have easily been stuffed into 13 episodes without any major loss in build-up. “I remember when you first started blogging this series you were saying it was the best to come out last year.”

And now it's dissappointing?? Come on.....this show has intensity that is notches above other anime. Some parts do drag on, but you feel it's actually necessary here to get into the character's minds. This was an original, and great series. Although Season 2 won't be nearly as good, that's for sure.

It was just full of so many Epic scenes, yet there was some big flaws and the pacing was too damn slow. Perhaps when the second season does arrive in a couple years, we should marathon through it instead of watching it casually. Although, I have to admit that I liked the ending. I just didn't want to see an ending where Madhouse changed things and made Kaiji win, then we would have had a "YAY Happy Ending" scenario.

Poor Madhouse isn't the one to blame. And yes, there will be a second season in one or two years : after this episode, the mangaka, Kaiji's seiyuu and some weeaboo fangirl announced that there WILL be a second season sometime : just be patient.
