Quoted By:
Akagi since it's another gambling anime by Fukumoto who created Kaiji, based entirely on Mahjong, also shows a different view of insane gambles because instead of being a careful person who just wants to survive until he gets in too deep and fucks himself over like Kaiji, Akagi is an insane person with godly luck, skill and thinking that likes gambles that will destroy the loser. The main enjoyment factor is seeing what Akagi will do next and the way different characters act in response. Akagi also appears as an old man in another Fukumoto manga called "Ten" and his character develops some more.
