Wow, what can I say. I got hooked after the 3 episode trial period, and i could not stop watching until i finished the whole series. You want the protagonist to succeed so badly you simply must know what happens. But in the end SPOILER ALERT * He digs his own grave even deeper and deeper. And I thought to myself why do I keep getting my hopes up for Kaiji but thats the thing! He just doesn't want to give up and his fighting spirit is eternal. Time to hit season 2 !
