they did good with the anime although the last two episodes need to be redone. in the manga raki is with priscilla and easley, and clare and the rest of the pieta survivors are off doing their own thing. they make the anime to difficult to be following the manga now with those last two episodes. I hope they make raki stronger too, maybe a male claymore or a half-awakened being.

I am pretty sure that people, who cannot get ahold of the anime especially with English subtitling, come here to get the first extensive description of what happened. This is the first site to post always. Maybe that says something about the status of your social life, either that or how good Kaiji is . . .

Well, more because of how I felt about the show…

There weren’t many blogs about this show so I figured there was *some* demand from those who wanted to know what happened and such.

And plagiarism isn’t so big a concern, now that I realize. Fraudulent reporting is much more of a concern; look up stuff Jayson Blair, Janet Cooke, and Stephen Glass for instances of journalists writing out of their asses. It can work in college for that five-page paper, but not so much in real life…

Ahh, journalism . . . plagiarism is hardly the biggest ethical concern that there should be. I think David Simon’s recent criticisms are pretty condemning. (Where you studying? Columbia, NYU, USC Annenberg, UF, Cal Berkeley, etceteras . . .) As is this indictment of bloggers . . . http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Blog

are you not plagiarizing the episodes by just posting about what happened within them? You are hardly reviewing the episodes, these are more episode summaries with extensive screenshooting . . . keep blogging away anyways . . .

lolz, u do have a point

P, I tried summarizing and reviewing at the same time in the past but I could never figure out a way to summarize things concisely. I am not going to ignore your point, but I’m not really posting these shots and saying “look at this anime that I did all by myself,” while passing it off as my own work. The source material is not my own work, yes, but the thoughts I have about it are my own work.

If anything, the stuff I mentioned about the plagiarism should really just be taken in jest. I only brought it up since plagiarism serios business in the field of journalism (which I’m studying in school).

Thank you for your input.

IIRC, the scanlator stopped after the first chapter.

Raws of all volumes so far (up to 12 of the current series, number 3) are available on torrent sites and such, it just takes a little searching.

Not a spoiler, but don’t expect any retribution against the chairman anytime soon; it’s pretty much blueballs all the way.

I struck again! How can someone who watches copyright violating bootleg videos, ie. felony crime, complain that he’s being plagiarized? Check out the word for word post on Youtube . . . No asking first either . . . Call me Chairman Shodo Kazutaka . . . heh heh heh . . . No one is scanlating the manga, the project was abandoned, and hopefully the last two episodes of the anime will be translated by Triad soon enough . . . also are you not plagiarizing the episodes by just posting about what happened within them? You are hardly reviewing the episodes, these are more episode summaries with extensive screenshooting . . . keep blogging away anyways . . .

Kaiji would have been found a fraud too if he called the big boss. All things considered, he is still ok (as in not dead). Await for him to get back on his feet (all parts attached) and ‘move forward’.

*btw, Who’s scanlating the manga? I think I remember them doing the first volume of kaiji, but no more. Does anyone know?

^^ Thanks for the praise.

And interesting note about that site; there was one that was linking to one of my earlier reviews.
