The fact that it's done by the same guy that did Akagi means I'm definitely going to check it out. However, after reading some info on the show and especially about the main character, my expectations aren't as high. I'm hoping it will turn out good regardless though.

Really? I found Kaiji a lot easier to relate to than Akagi. Although..yeah, I never want to be like him. For sure.

Well mahjong is great game so I would be more pleased if it was about mahjong...
and main merit of Akagi serie was that Akagi was hell damn cool.... so I don't know if this can beat Akagi.... but I will still look up for it.

Akagi was definitely cool. He was the reason I watched all episodes of that show. I know squat about mahjong (even after watching all those episodes) but Akagi's character made the whole thing worthwhile. I've never read the Kaiji manga so all I had to go off of was a description of Kaiji being basically a crybaby most of the time. Perhaps it's unfair to compare him to Akagi but that's what runs through my head. Like I said though, I'll be giving it a shot but I won't hold my expectations high. Who knows if it may blow me away when I finally get to watch it.

The official website had a makeover! (http://www.ntv.co.jp/kaiji)
I guess I gotta wait til episode 1 to see how the voice acting turns out.. Akagi-style acting does not suit Kaiji at all. Will Hagi able to handle all the screaming and crying?

Just translated the character description for Kaiji since there were some issues about his personality :)-
----------
After graduating high school, Kaiji was spending his everyday life dissolutely without working. One day he ends up in a huge debt for signing a guaranteed debt form for his part-time workplace(Kaiji is not working there currently) friend, Furuhata.In order to pay his money back, and deceived by Endou's sweet talk, he steps into the world of dangerous gambling.

In peaceful, normal life, Kaiji is nothing but a loser. But when his life is hanging on the line of life and death, his guts and gambling skills further surpasses those of a normal human being.
No matter what situation he is in, he never betrays a person he trusts. He can be never cold-hearted,posessing a very kind soul. But that sometimes, in reverse, acts as a root for him being betrayed.

I've heard good things about Akagi, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.
