    Mahjong Legend Akagi

    First episode released by Triad
    http://a.scarywater.net/triad/...Akagi_-_01.avi.torrent


    "When Nango was about to lose the mahjong, he heard a boy mumbling, If I die, Ill be helped. Talking to him, Nango knew he didnt know about mahjong, but he noticed the boys talent of gambling, and he left his fate with this amateur boy. The boy was Akagi Shigeru who would become a legendary gambler later.

    Based on the mahjong manga by Fukumoto Nobuyuki."

    Anyways, I just watched this first two episodes, and I really liked it once I got used to the wierd character design... I like their approach to the game... A dark atmosphere...

    Mahjong Legend Akagi

    I'm watching this, though I coulda sworn there were more posts on this thread. Regardless, I picked it up cause I thought it might be like Hikaru no Go (game theme, young player with lots of talent, ect.). While it isn't like HnG, it definately holds my interest (though like you, I had to get used to the abnormal character design).

    Mahjong Legend Akagi

    Downloading now, it kinda sucks though how long it is between each episode, but I guess Triad isn't a speed subbing group, and I do appreciate the quality of their work, so I guess I can't complain too much =P

    Episode 4 was awesome...

    Akagi now became one of my favorite anime characters, he's fucked up.

    This anime has turned into a pretty badass one. I especially love how messed up Akagi is. I suggest everyone take a look at this, watch these 4 episodes and decide whether to drop it or not.

    No doubt, I bet I could kick your ass if I wanted to.


    But, seriously, episode 4 was awesome... Akagi kicks ass. He should've wasted the other kid though.

    Episode 5 is out

    Man, Akagi has to be the best sports/board game anime series character ever... I love how he always cheats to win, he's a thug.

    Hmmm, took me while to watch these, busy lately.
    Must admit, it is quite brillant.
    The sly evil-bastardardness of it all is brillant, very well done.

    I'm fairly curious as to how this anime will progress, could go lot of ways, have feeling may skip forward years? (Since seems to refer to how this is how it all started...).

    This will be added to list of what I look forward to after long workin' day methinks.

    It was kind of hard for me to understand all the different moves at first but after you get into it it's a really great anime. The style is very different from anything i've seen before and i think that's refreshing.

    It seems like the show is finished already (Ep 26 Raw END is out) but it will probably take Triad some time to get them all done.

    Just watched this episode - very nicely done, an excellent match, and conclusion - match could have gone either way. Interesting touch that they don't seem to draw out the episodes/matches/games, typically I'd expect (from watching an episode) that game/match would be drawn out over a few episodes, however seems to end/conclude very abruptly at times, reflects nicely on nature of the gamble.

    Looks like next episodes will have skipped forward in time, thankfully - I'd say series will really start to bloom now (as if already wasn't vastly better than expected).

    Shame triad don't seem to like this anime (or at least that was impression I got from their site).

    Yeah, all the mahjong explanation must take some work. And yes it will have skipped 5 or 6 years in the next ep, will be fun to see Akagi as a 18/19 year old =P

    Episodes 8 and 9 have been out for quite some time, I just watched them. I think these two episodes have been my favorite so far, just because it shows how kickass of a character Akagi is, he's awesome. I think he's my all-time favorite anime character.
