Kaiji Ultimate Survivor, overrated
21 February 2021
There is suspense no doubt, but the main character is amazing levels of thrash. The problem here is they want to make the main character as normal as possible but at certain times a genius and the back and forth of that unbalance makes for a very annoying and crappy main character.

Kaiji learns nothing from the beginning of this anime to the end of the anime. It's development of Kaiji is horrible at best. The gambling aspect is good and intense, except for the fact they spend 4-5 episodes on irrelevant nonsense it dulls the intensity of the gambles.

When it comes to gambling anime I haven't seen a lot but this is definitely ranked last out of the 3 I've seen and not even comparable to the other 2 in terms of intensity, artwork and plot.

If your a fan of One Outs and Kakegurui you'll understand. Kaiji Ultimate Survivor is decent at best, it's very overrated IMO. The ending is not satisfactory and you will feel like the character definitely never grows or learns, as is evident with the last gamble and episodes.
