| 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... |

This is an awesome anime. The main character Kaiji spends the majority of his time trying to gamble his way to riches and/or freedom. If you really pay attention to the detail of the story this is anime that relates to actual real life. Kaiji is a bum and a layabout that when he gets bored decides to vandalize automobiles and cause other minor ruckuses. Then he gets tricked into entering a gamblers den where he can amass a fortune in a single evening. As you listen to the dialog you will under that the reason why that this gambling den is set up (and why things like the lottery and other get rich schemes exist.)
People are classified into two categories, the hard working haves, and the lazy good for nothing have-nots. The hard working people work hard all through their life to do well in school, go to college, and become successful after school. The good for nothings are do the opposite, they skate by and do the minimal in order to get by. Because of this
