Cryin' Kaiji & Dragon Ball Cryma (15-17)

This episode starts off immediately on shaky ground with a precursory Star Wars discussion. We move on quickly to something even sadder: the recent episodes of Dragon Ball Daima, a show that left us feeling so much promise and joy. But I suppose a modern Dragon Ball story will always be a gamble... speaking of gambles, KAIJI! Kaiji is an anime series about a young man in severe debt who gets entrapped in the seedy world of undergound gambling. The show's art style is unique, the pathos is deeply textured, and the suffering is legendary even in Hell. It's definitely on my (Michael's) list of favorite shows of all-time. Join us for a Spoiler-Free discussion of the show this week!   Opening/Closing music by by Stu Rosenberg.   Follow us on Instagram: @dermot.akiraslide   Edited by Michael D. Rowland.
