You guys, which episodes does Sahara appear in? I think I'm gonna have to watch this damn ugly series after all. The moe in these threads compels me.

Episode 9 or 10, I forget which. But I really recommend the whole series. You get to see Kaiji cry a lot.

BTW anon, I can't get episode 11 + 12 to download from the torrents for me. WTF? Anyone have a link to a direct download?

No, but srsly, don't go in watching Kaiji for some sort of moemoe faggotry. Any "moe" there is in the series is an acquired taste. Newfags need not apply.

Seems like that for some people. I liked the art right away, just because the lines were so fucking awesome (Fuck yeah, bold lines!).

Kaiji/Akagi have elements to them that more than make up for their unconventional art style. The voice acting for both series are fucking amazing. Watching Akagi is almost like porn for me because his voice is so fucking orgasmic.

First it took me a few eps to get used to the art, but by the end of the series, I liked it. Wasn't too fond of how 19-year-old Akagi looked like, though. BUT.
When I re-watched it, I couldn't see anything bad about him. Shotakagi was cute and older Akagi was hot. Go figure.
That's also why I now wholeheartedly love the art in Kaiji. It IS cute in some places.

Not to turn this into my personal blog, but there's one girl in my class that has black hair and exactly the same haircut as Kaiji. I sometimes sit in a place where her face cannot be seen and imagine that's Kaiji's mullet I'm staring at.
Also, there's one guy that looks like Sahara. I'm turning bisexual for 3D.

All the PASSION in this thread made me smile. No, I'm not a troll. I watch anime for the conventional prettiness and all the men with unrealistically soft hair, not for drama or plot. But the amount of devotion to Kaiji that I witness on /cm/ has convinced me to try it in spite of the art style, which I personally do find ugly, unfortunately. (I also find expressionism and Kanon ugly.)
I want to start with the Sahara episode because from the fanart he seems to be likely to have a more equal relationship with Kaiji, which is the kind of thing I prefer to watch.>>728562- why do you find it "not ideal" when people become interested in an anime because of the fanworks?
And srsly, nobody with a brain would expect moemoe faggotry in Kaiji. The anime clearly distances itself from that genre.
Anyway, thanks for the information!

Well, they did bring us Sunohara...Anyway..

Yeah, Fkmt fans generally seem pretty defensive, especially over the art. It just pains them to see people hating on genuinely good series simply because the art isn't some sort of moeshit lucky star chibi moe faggotry. On the plus side, it scares newfags away. The people who actually give the series a try show that they're not THAT shallow.

As a result, the Fukumoto fandom is pretty fucking win.

It's ok to watch shows just for the fandom works, in fact there are shows just written for that purpose! It's why I watched Gundam SEED Destiny.
Kaiji isn't a fanservice show though (although I'm sure the animators purposefully added some emphasis on that one scene with Sahara...)

From wikipedia: The nuances of the language are now mostly forgotten, but red roses still imply passionate, romantic love; pink roses a lesser affection; white roses suggest virtue and chastity;[2] and yellow roses still stand for friendship or devotion.
