Description

Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji. Kaiji is then told of a way to clear the interest compounded debt (which stood at 3,850,000 yen), which involved getting on a boat with others in his position. Once on the boat the debtors would then have to gamble with loaned money, which would end with a few winning, and others getting into deeper debt and having to work to pay of their debts. After some coercing kaiji accepts a position on the boat, in or

Странно что ни одного отзыва. Аниме на высшем уровне, со специфической рисовкой. Для любителей аниме (фильмов и др.) вида "битва умов" - советую!

Initially, why was it necessary to play with the old man at all? You won 20 lakhs, you would have paid off the debt, you gave 10 lakhs to that woman as promised, and then you could have come up with another plan to deceive this leader. But for him, it's either everything or nothing. And in the end, he was not just left with nothing, but also went into negative territory - he lost his fingers and ear, which it is not known if it is possible to restore.

@arabico: Because this series is about excitement and recklessness. The Casino never loses, it cannot be defeated.

Классно, конечно, но вторая половина что первого, что второго сезона просто дико затянута и оба сезона спокойно могли бы быть короче на 5 и более серий. Будем надеяться, в третьем сезоне это исправят (если он наконец выйдет).

God, what a thrill. in some episodes, I had to Google the rules of commenting on myshows to clarify whether it was possible to express all my emotions with a stream of obscenities. I had to restrain myself :)
maybe it's my childish view of the world, but I'm going crazy with such Japanese "fairy tales", albeit serious, but so naive. for two seasons, viewers have been twisting their balls with all sorts of plot twists on the edge, when, it would seem, there is nothing else to do, but, look, we have come up with such a thing here!
it's great that, unlike akagi, here gg is not a damn genius who outplayed and outplayed everyone, but a fool who constantly finds himself in a complete ass because of his own mistakes (sometimes damn stupid) and faith in people (who obviously did not deserve it), but eventually manages to get out of it. Well, the humor has been added here - the final episode and Mikoko's funny creepy daughter!
and yes, the ability to stretch the confrontation with pachinko for more than half a season is necessary.
another masterpiece in the piggy bank!
