Is there any specific reason why kaiji doesn't get another TV anime? It looks doing pretty well in the Japanese market as games.

Sales were pretty bad. And no live-action movie to promote right now (from what I've heard. I can be wrong). Read the manga, anime probably will never come out. Closest to 3rd season we get is "Kaiji 17 steps" video |

There's also the fact that Masao Maruyama was a major factor in Akagi, Kaiji, & One Outs' creations, and since he doesn't work for Madhouse anymore there's less of a push for it. Then there's the fact that Hideki Taniuchi, the music composer for Akagi & Kaiji, got busted for marijuana about a year or so after Kaiji Season 2, which killed his anime composing career; Kaiji Season 2 was literally the last anime he worked on. Sure, he could theoretically be replaced, but Taniuchi's music was such a strong part of why Akagi & Kaiji were so excellent.
I've come to accept that we'll likely never see anymore of the "Madhouse Gambling Trilogy", as I call it. At least every single one of those series was excellent, though One Outs really deserves a legal stream. Anyway, I'm really interested in that Kaiji game being on Switch, so much so that I'll probably finally make a Japanese account to get it, one day. |
