| Summary: |
Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji. Kaiji is then told of a way to clear the interest compounded debt (which stood at 3,850,000 yen), which involved getting on a boat with others in his position. Once on the boat the debtors would then have to gamble with loaned money, which would end with a few winning, and others getting into deeper debt and having to work to pay of their debts. After some coercing kaiji accepts a position on the boat, in order to clear himself and make a bit of money as well... |

Concerning what this is about, it's literally about betting more than just money, but your life. Kaiji is somewhat of a gambling genius, therefore the dialogue is immense. I like this anime because it relates to people who take risks without thinking about them, and what happens afterwords. Maybe not in a physical way, but it sure symbolizes how they feel. I gave it a 4/5 in entertainment only because a couple of episodes made me want to skip, but in the end, I'm glad I stuck to it. If you miss an episode, you'll be totally lost! Also if you like animes like "Death Note" where the dialogue is VERY important, this is just for you! ^_^
