No, not the Drew Barrymore flick. And not really 50, either, but I’ve got a nice pile of first episodes to watch, and I’m going to try to get through them all today. And ideally, I’ll write up all of my first date posts for them today too. I have Blue Drop, Myself;Yourself, Clannad, Da Capo II, Gundam 00, Night Wizard, and Kaiji. And I’m all in marathon mode too, thanks to a Heroes marathon yesterday.

So, time to get crackin’!

Looks like meme-fan-favorite manga Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji (roughly translates to Record of the Gambling Fallen Angel, Kaiji) is going to get an anime, or so says Ultimatum Talk.

The manga is by Nobuyuki Fukumoto, who is well known in certain image boards fan circles for creating the mahjong manga Akagi. Meanwhile, Kaiji is apparently well-known for its depiction of gambling addictions, even if the art’s a little different from what manga fans are used to.
