Akagi

Akagi is a Mahjong anime which is about a person called Akagi Shigeru. He is just a high school student, but no ordinary student. He got into a chicken run fight -

(Driving cars as fast as possible and the one who breaks first loses) After winning the chicken run, he hides in the only open shop, which at that time, was the mahjong bar. Seeking shelter from the police, he quickly learns how to play mahjong and joins in the people who are playing mahjong. However, even though he is a beginner, because he was so close to death before, he takes unimaginable risks and will almost always win by psychologically psyching the guy out.

Personal Comment : The anime graphics are horrible. Everyone in the anime looks like the guy above - Long sharp noses, and bad lighting. The storyline also is very very unrealistic. However, the only saving point for this anime is that it shows you alot about Japanese Mahjong and how it is played.
