The ending dropped the ball, but this was infact a very good anime. It made a game of mahjong tense. Think on that for a second and you'll realize how well it was done. Music, timing and dramatic tension was *professional*.

I watched all of Akagi in 2-3 days. Sometime at night, when I was alone, I tried fapping. But couldn't, because everything I imagined had that nose. :D
