Just as I thought, please don't be a 16-yo school boy, he says he's 13, lol. Kinda ruins the mood, he looks 20 at least.

After watching Kaiji, this one's a must-watch for me since I like gambling anime. I know nothing about Mahjong but I guess that I'll somehow get the gist of what's happening eventually since the basics were flashed and they talk about each hand whenever it pops up.

That 13-year old who really doesn't look his age was both a delinquent and an ultimate survivor for getting out of that Chicken accident practically unscathed. He even utilized the cops chasing him to his advantage by making them a distraction and the detective a witness so that the Yakuza present wouldn't get physical after finding out that he cheated. He's really cunning to pull these stuff off even if he was just a beginner.

Having a calm opening and a smashing ending was the opposite of what Kaiji had lol

Very intriguing start. Akagi has not just brains, but very big balls too and that with being merely 13 years old.

Wonder what made him like this.

one of the best episodes I have ever seen, I couldn't get my eyes off the screen even when I was getting pings and notifications from other social media. The show was able to fully immerse me into their pace and I felt like I was part of the anime. A truly great way to start the series!

Behold of my awesomeness~

Holy shit what a first episode, I was completely engrossed in the plot and characters within the first minute. It made Mahjong exciting and the characters were really fun to watch. The strange artstyle looks weird at first but it makes it instantly memorable.

Perfect atmosphere. I can feel the sleaze from that smoky room leaking through the screen and into my own! And despite the brief glance at him, Akagi doesn't seem like one of those Death Note type "ahaha, this was actually all apart of my plan!" egotist type protagonists. No, he doesn't seem to have too much of an ego at all. But so far, it's shaping up to be great.

EDIT: Yeah... no... as the series continued on he is certainly one of those "all part of my plan" types.
