Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor

My Review will be in 5 Main Parts: 1- The Goal (10 out of 10): The Anime have several goals like "Never give up, Think Then decide, Fulfillment, Teamwork, ..... etc" And all of those goals positive and the anime delivered it to the viewer in a clear way. The main goal is That "Gambling is Bad", It is obviously that the anime all about gambling and how it's risky and that the hard work is the way to what you want because that gambling is for lazy men who will end up dead, bankrupt or indebted and the lucky one will be rich, but it's a lust in the end so he will continue Gambling and fall in the same problem (it is a cycle that not end). 2- The Excitement: (10 out of 10) It found here in hard situations when kaiji make a decision, And that was done very good and make me feel that Difficulty. 3- The influence: (8 out of 10) The anime make me interact with every scene of win, lose, sadness, happiness *BUT* the sad scenes was less influence that not made me full interact. 4- The Vital (7 out of 10) The anime make me watch it in 4 days only -season 1 in 3 days and season 2 in two days- Every new episode take me to the next one *BUT* season 2 made me bored in some episodes where i think There was unnecessary lengthening. 5- Overview (7 out of 10) As general it was very good anime *BUT* these are some of the points where the anime did not succeed in my view: 1- The scenes of full nudity of the characters in the room of losers it wasn't should to be like this, They could have been partially naked until they go to the permanent punishment, specially that some of them went out from the room. 2- The girl that didn't showed in the anime but mentioned only, why her picture in bikini showed every episode in season 2? "the episode end was enough for her story with kaiji". My Rating: 42/50 == 8/10

I definitely do not have the skills to explain how great this is. Just watch the video made by super eye patch wolf and skip the spoiler part. Go. Go. GO.

Kaiji is about a low class bum who got into a debt due to him co signing for a co-worker he knew. The debt is 3,850,000 yen and there's no way someone like Kaiji could work off that much in so little time. When a debt collector came to see him, he gave Kaiji an opportunity in erasing his debt. And this involves Kaiji attending a game with other men that are in his position. If he wins he'll be able to live a more comfortable life. If he loses he'll be in deeper debt.

With an entirely original story featuring uniquely drawn characters. Kaiji is an anime that's never been done before. Very few others would include risky gambling or featuring torture to it's fullest. In fact the games of gamble are so intense that you'll be wanting to watch the series to the very end.

If you like an anime that has risky gambling or something that shows torture, then include Kaiji on your list of "Anime yet to be licensed in America".

I have seen lots of good movies and animes, filled with suspense and tension, but " Gambling Apocalypse" is on a whole different level. The nail bitting moments are intense and very well written. The script is A+. Never cheered for someone, so hard, in a movie before.

Kaiji is the first anime of its kind. I did watch many many animes which had great storylines and plottwists, but kaiji seems to be more intense than any other before. I liked the unique art style, after a few episodes it became natural. What is really great about this piece of art is that its just so realistic, the thought process behind any character can be comprehended very easily. The second guessing about how u live ur life and what to do with it is very interesting and applies on everybody in this world, which is why it mad me think about mine as well, thats something great an anime can do with you.

I can only suggest anybody who thinks about watching it to do it!

Im kinda sad they didnt do a third and fourth season of this, so i guess im going to read the manga. Because the 2 anime seasons are like 20% of the whole manga.
