Akagi



Akagi

I like anime that, on some level, teach me something. Bartender taught me about mixed drinks and the stories around different types of alcohol. Hikaru no Go taught me about the game of go. Saint Young Men taught me about Jesus’s blogging history and Buddha’s hair. Super Gals taught me about feminism. Any show that can teach me something makes the show all the more enjoyable. And by watching today’s show, I learned a surprising amount about Mahjong. Hell, I might even be able to play the game. But probably not. Today’s show is a mix of gambling, insanity, and really pointy facial features. It shows you the darkness in all men’s hearts, and how people with silver/grey hair are all crazy apparently. This is Touhai Densetsu Akagi: Yami ni Maiorita Tensai, also known as Akagi.
