>>132043 because no one said if they wanted it at 6pm, 7pm or 8pm. And it seemed very likely that no one cared. So I'm not going to waste my time on a gamble when I have some other tings to do. I could still run it at 8pm, but it's unlikely

Pretty cool. This is another thing I'd never watch on my own, but it was fun with other people. I could understand this story because RPS/Jenken is really simple, but once it moves to Mahjong or whatever I'll have to zone out and just pretend like I did with Saki
Anonymous 08/10/24 (Sat) 01:40:55 No. 132259
>>132257 kaiji doesn't do mahjong(technically).
The next one is barely a gamble and more about how people behave under stress.
The ones after are more gambling.
But Kaiji is more of an anime about cheating I'd say

Have you tried streaming directly to kissu? I remember there was that one imageboard stream with a chat from around 2008, called like awesome something? It had like 4 different continuous streams with anime and toku if I recall and adult swim like bumps. Does anyone else remember this? It was part of some board, but anyway it wasn't subject to bans because of nude men discussing game theory.

The second arc lasts an entire night so it's somewhat continuous and doesn't have great ending points other than the end of episode 26.

Pretty great, but I don't really have much to say about it. Some of the stuff made me mentally squirm, but not as much as Higurashi. I completely misread what this series was like
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 02:50:38 No. 132494 >>132495
I think that the Steel Beams and E-Card arc goes a ways to show that there's bastards in this world. But even if they are bastards you can't just assume because you're righteous that you can underestimate them. Tonegawa was a truly snakeish and cunning bastard but he had more guts than most of the people we've seen yet. He's willing to do whatever in order to get ahead in life.
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 02:55:39 No. 132495 >>132496
I can't say I liked Steel Beams much, it's a simple game whose threat of falling is repeated tons of times while the pushing thing is neutralized for Kaiji without much trouble, and the later reveal of the glass stairs is... eh. The stronger draw is Tonegawa's speeches, but there's a lot reiteration there too. For E-Card I had been spoiled about Tonegawa's cheating and Kaiji's metal as fuck sacrifice which means I can't give a fair assessment of it, but I do think it undermines the earlier theorizing which even without that was drastically different from Janken's given that he was grasping at straws in comparison ALTHOUGH the twist is still fucking cool as shit.
>>132494 Yeah, Tonegawa's an absolute bastard but not stupid.
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 03:17:49 No. 132496 >>132507
>>132495 Kaiji does have a tendency to go off with some moments where there's not much of a theatrical depth to the games, but instead talks generally about society and the meaning of being human.
For the majority of the story Kaiji is doing games against villains, but the past 3 years of the story has been him coming to realize that the life he lives is really atypical and unhealthy.
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 17:27:48 No. 132507
>>132496 I just came across this in an interview:
>Fukumoto: So, what you’re asking about is how, say, Tonegawa goes on tirades in Kaiji about how the characters are absolutely pathetic, and do other manga do that kind of thing? I suppose not many do. I consider one of the characteristics of my manga to be that the bad guys say these really cruel things, and yet you feel like maybe what they’re saying is true. You could say that I use the bad guys in my manga as a sort of wall that stands in for society or something like that, which Kaiji then bumps up against and wins or loses against. Manga have had walls like that in the past, like, say, Ittetsu Hoshi [from Kyojin no Hoshi], but the thing is, Ittetsu had affection for Hyuma, whereas Tonegawa has zero affection. (laugh) He’s just pure wall. I sort of like that. https://mangabrog.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/nobuyuki-fukumoto-interview-kaiji-akagi/ Also this towards the end:
>Otsuki: Kaiji is very anti-establishment in that sense. The money involved isn’t actually all that much, though, is it? The money he’s gambling with is just in the tens of millions, so even while he may be standing up against the evil establishment, to them it’s just a drop in the bucket, whereas Kaiji loses his fingers and ear , and it’s really sad. (laugh) I think readers who are still students will be doubly shocked once they become adults and realize that, thinking back on it, Kaiji never even had that much money on the line.

Maybe it's a little too late but can you consider using another release? The BD release has frame pacing problem which results in lots of stuttering. TV source releases like [Triad] don't have this problem.
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 21:23:51 No. 132512 >>132514
>>132510 Never noticed. Can't say I do. I thought at some points the lip syncing was off, but that might have just been the way it was.
I guess I'll see. I like how this release uses different text color for out of focus voices and the standard yellow for main dialog. Not a lot of subs do this.
Anonymous 08/17/24 (Sat) 21:38:00 No. 132514 >>132522
>>132512 It's most noticeable for panning scenes. The panning stutters and isn't smooth. I think it's normal that people not familiar with stuttering like this won't notice, but once you compare it with a good source you won't be able to unsee it again.

I really love how the Hyodo gamble is resolved with Kaiji losing after praying to god and hoping to win over trying to think things over logically. He let himself get caught up in the weight of the gamble and Hyodo outsmarting him, and didn't even consider what Hyodo himself did to rig the game. The loss, however, was necessary for Kaiji to cement those lessons taught to him by E-Card and Steel Beams.

>>132548 The moment he let Hyodo keep his hand inside the box for longer than him while expecting the guy to be unable to counter, that's where he lost. That's the point where he let things slip from his grasp, and yeah, a good deal of that comes down to underestimating Hyodo.
