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...

After spending sometime looking for an anime like Code Geass and the Death Note (well except the ending of Death Note), i finally stumbled upon Kaiji, and me so happy.

Starts off about kaiji a low life scum who does absolutely nothing and is in debt therefore hes given a chance to work it off or gamble on one night to pay it off and make millions or go through hell ( so in a matter of speaking it's a double or nothing type of scenario).

so Kaiji has apparently is bloody genius when it comes to getting himself out of debt.

So does he make it watch and find out!!!



PS: Code Geass is a 10/10 , Death Note (including its last episode) is a 9/10 and Kaiji is nice 8.8/10
also Watch Akagi :D
