Wow. Kaiji is one of the REALEST anime I've ever seen.

When that music starts playing everyone on the field just like

you got adblockplus?

How is Stein's Gate? It's high on myanimelist.net

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. It takes maybe two episodes to get itself set up, but once it doesn't stop. At all.

It's one of those shows that starts off incredibly small and unassuming, but ends up all-encompassing and making you think about the nature of the universe and stuff.

It's also full of "real life" stuff that belongs in the conspiracy theory thread in HL, although I already knew about it, I hadn't even seen it discussed in like 10 years, no less put into anime. Mainly this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Titor

I loved it. 10/10 easy.

Worth watching, but stick with it, first 10 episodes will really have you questioning its ranking amongst top tier anime...........but then, it happens.

And it's all worth it

A LOT of


Nothing but hopelessness, hard choices and fukked up consequences.

It'll always be amazing to me that Stein's;Gate's story got so.... huge, but started with a dude playing mad scientist, a microwave, a cell phone and a banana.

Both seasons of Kaiji are amazing.

Really shows you the depth of human nature, and what people will do to make them feel like their winning at life, even if winning means just surviving to live another day.

every time you get the slightest bit stressed, you're gonna hear that whispering sound effect in your head. "zawa zawa zawa"

But yeah. It's on my GOAT anime list. I thought I was going to be put off by the artwork, but the story is so intense that you barely notice. You'll never look at Rock/Paper/Scissors the same way again.

If you're bored enough, you should check out the other two anime in the writer's "Gambling" trilogy:

Akagi, which is about Mah-Jong and the criminal underworld. No, you don't have to know how to play to watch it. Akagi is one of anime's great villain protagonists. A cold blooded monster that preys on nothing but other villains.

And One Outs, which is just as much of a mindfukk as Akagi and Kaiji... but is about Baseball. The lead character has an 88 mph fastball and agrees to a contract where he gets 5 million yen for every out he pitches, but loses 50 million for every point he gives up.

Also of note is the fact that the same voice actor is used for all three lead characters. But their personalities and levels of ruthlessness is so different that you'd swear it's three totally different people.

Now i gotta check it out..
