The second movie bombed so the third movie never got made and the anime was riding on the free advertising of the movies since the anime itself was unprofitable and basically bombing hard.
Add to this the composer being busted for having pot and going to jail for 7 years minimum, we're fucked.

>>149256309
You could answer my bloody question

>>149256368
Part 3 picks up right after the bog.
Hope you know mahjong

>>149255351
>am I good going straight into Part 3 of the manga
Yes, but you need to know how to play mahjong to fully enjoy it. At least basic rules, what the winning hand is, what's furiten and how to distinguish man tiles.

>>149256493
You don't even need to know it, I didn't understood shit about it and Part 3 was still a fucking ride.

Yes, you can start off at part 3, however it's Mahjong, and it doesn't explain it at all - you'll have to learn it yourself.

>>149256493
>>149256552
I don't know mahjong other than the shitty matching tiles windows one, any guide?

>>149256615
Alternatively, would Akagi anime explain it Mahjong or is that also a nope?

>>149256743
People watch and enjoy Akagi 3 times. Before they learn mahjong, after they learn rules and after they actually become decent at it.

>>149256855
I remember that one pic showing reactions to watching Akagi in those 3 stages.

>>149256855
That unfortunately doesn't answer my question

>>149256594
Fkmtkrazy scans have a jong guide after like every chapter once the game starts.


Though from here on, each game is like 100 chapters thanks to his godly pacing (works well for part 3, not so well for part 4. Part 5 is still on going.)

>>149256922
Also won't teach you mahjong on its own. But it most likely will make you interested in learning it.

Kaiji uses simplified subset of Mahjong rules so it's actually better to start there. You can always check /jp/, they have constant mahjong threads where you can ask for help. People are very kind there.

Fucking autocorrect

>>149257031
>>149257056
>>149257058
I see, thanks guys.
If the scans have some bare minimum guide then I think I'll just start with Kaiji mahjong and go from there.
I intended to watch Akagi later but mahjong intimidates me.

>>149257094
Oh and inb4 "why don't you read Akagi manga", cause I heard it's in filler hell because the author has the publishing company on life support and deliberately extends it forever so the company won't tank. Also I have a policy of not reading ongoing arcs since Berserk already fucked me over with that.

Man, I miss Kaiji anime. It was super entertaining. Sad to hear there won't be more. Fuck pachinko.

>>149257291
Rewatch it, especially now that better encodes exist, especially for S1.

>>149257094
Mahjong isn't that hard to learn, at least not as a family of games. Japanese/riichi mahjong can be something of a pain though, mostly due to its scoring system. You should be able to pick up stuff like the order of play and basic melds in no time.

>>149255351
I went straight into part 3 from the Anime and I was fine. Like others ahd said in the thread you may want to read up on the rules for Mahjong but you really only need to know the basics since the game they play in part 3 is really simplified.

>>149257094
The basics of Mahyong is pretty much just Poker. If you watch Kaiji first, then you will understand what is going on pretty quickly. The only problem you will have for the first few chapters is remembering the japanese terms like "riichi" and "ron" and such.

what are some good shows about gambling similar to kaiji?

I've already seen akagi

>>149257907
>The basics of Mahyong is pretty much just Poker.

Mahjong isn't much like Poker. If you want to compare it to a card game compare it to Rummy (to which it's very similar) or a bit more distantly to something like Pinochle.

>>149258035
>compare it to Rummy
>compare a game that only a few countries instinctively can recognize the symbols on the tiles to streamline the game to game with numbers that's universally understood and so easy, a child can play

>>149258027
Do you want shows or mangas? Because I can give you a lot of nice seinen gambling mangas.

>>149258080
Because that's what mahjong and rummy gameplay is about, symbol recognition.

>>149258035
the basics i said
You get dealed a set number of cards/tiles, you exchange some of those cards/tiles that don't fit your hand for some new random ones in the hope they fit better.

Rummy is also similar, but also very different. It's obvious that neither games are exactly like Mahjong.

>>149258027
One Outs isn't about gambling but it's similar to Kaiji in many ways.

>>149258132
symbol recognition =/= number recognition

>>149258153
Rummy shares the same basic play mechanic as Mahjong, which is to take turns drawing and discarding with the aim of making melds. Which makes sense because the game family ultimately derives from 19th century Chinese card games, so it probably shares a common ancestor with modern mahjong.

I finished the anime the other day. Spoilers ahead.
I was so fucking glad poor Kaiji finally caught a break at the end that I'm going to pretend the story ends there and Kaiji got a normal job afterwards and lived a peaceful life and never crossed paths with the Yakuza again.
Honestly the whole time I was expecting the bog deal to end with him even deeper in hell and a "NOPE, NO S3, GO READ THE MANGA".


Also did I just watch about 20 episodes of a guy trying to shoot a ball into a hole

>>149258397
>did I just watch about 20 episodes of a guy trying to shoot a ball into a hole
I believe there were only 8 episodes of that, dear sir...

>>149258345
are you retarded or do you just want to be able to say "The game i choose as a comparison is better, that makes me smarter"? Poker is something everyone knows and my mentioning of a game similar to mahjong was for that very purpose, it was not for a game of "Whoever finds a game that is closer to mahjong wins"

Who the fuck is that ugly slut at the end of each Kaiji s2 episode anyway? And I don't mean Sakazaki's daughter, I mean the 3DPD slut.

Was Ichijou gay? And does he ever return?

>tfw no other animes like kaiji

Akagi was good but not at the same level I think.

>>149260141
Akagi has two major flaws.
1. Horrible gary stu protagonist, the mariest of sues, to whom nothing ever bad happens. That alone makes Akagi uninteresting to start with.
2. Zero variety with the gambles. It's all Nihongo Mahjongo for 26 episodes straight which makes it much less interesting for the viewer, even more so if you consider the entry barrier of learning that type of mahjong to begin with.

Honestly I think Akagi is trash, I know people shit on me for this opinion but it is pure legitimate trash and by far the worst of FKMT works.
Kaiji is what Akagi should've been.

Watched akagi as drunk as a slav years ago and I had no fucking idea what I was watching until this year when I watched kaiji. Is the manga worth reading, I hear Akagi's been on Washizu's wild ride longer than the boat
I really fucking love the akagi op and ed

>>149261750
Greetings fellow slav. I have not read the Akagi manga I can only recommend Kaiji manga. I also heard the Washizu match either hasn't ended at all yet or at least lasts figuratively forever.
>>149258249
>symbol recognition =/= number recognition

I'm the guy in Kaiji threads usually comparing mahjong to poker and I like how the other dude agrees with me. You sir are however retarded. I don't know about rummy and it's rules but I know poker very well and as the other guy said it is a game many people know to at least some extent.

There are 4 symbols on western cards: spade, club, heart and diamond (suits). On the flip side many mahjong tiles have numbers (forgot the names, the wheels, the sticks and that third word tile set that represents numbers). We can consider those 3 different suits of 1-7 numbered cards and the rest are unique cards that can't make straights but only pairs trips and quads (and an individual dora is like a card that connects with the community cards to make a pair, trips or quads depending on the ammount of revealed doras in the wall).

I could go on forever, there are some similarities but it goes without saying there are also differences. The point of the comparison is mainly in the hand-building with the goal of building the strongest and thus least likely hand, or building a decent hand faster and ending the round prematurely to preserve it's value.

Fun fact, he had less than 1.5 grams on him, it was for his own personal use.
Oh and he's completely blacklisted now so even after he comes out of jail he will never get a decent job ever again, especially not a composer job.

>>149256615
You don't really need to know it for minefield mahjong since it's a lot more like regular poker than normal Japanese mahjong. Plus it relies on tricks a fair bit more than say, Akagi, which is more about ballsy plays and obvious cheating, rather than the more subtle stuff that happens in Kaiji.
