there's a spin-off called - Mr. Tonegawa: Management Blues, where it's more of a comedy focusing on the dude who came up with the games in Kaiji.

but yea, Kaiji is a great series.

there's also a series called Akaji(?), by the same creator, that's about mahjong, and the lead is a teenager.

I think it's worth checking out.

Kaiji's one of my favorites. It inexplicably got a dub a year or two ago which is kind of cool.
A shame you only get two seasons and some animated excerpts of a third part exclusive to some Japanese slot machine.

Kaiji is great. I never thought I'd be so entranced by watching 10+ episodes of a guy playing pachinko.

Well the Rock paper scissors arc is the best one in the series, but the rest is still good.

I know this is quite cliche to say but Kaiji did Squid Game's whole thing years before Squid Game was a thing.

Coming up on finishing the anime again for the second time. Kaiji might actually be one of my favorite protagonists.

Haven't seen Kaiji, but Akagi (mahjong series) was surprisingly good. Didn't know much about mahjong going in, and still don't, but it was riveting, lmao.

Dungeater posted... Balance beam is IMO Kaiji's shift from selfish/self serving to more noble/self sacrificing--still trying to win relentlessly but not just for his own benefit. Definitely wouldn't have the same reactions in the end of Part 1 and in the future parts if not for Ishida's sacrifice.

Yes. Nothing in the rest of the anime is as fucked up as that stuff. You might like it more.

I remember when it was airing and targeted itself as the "anti-moe"

Also, season 2 has some pacing issues, but you can probably resolve those by marathoning it
