Well, Saro said Jirou and I was in Hyoutei mode so I immediatly thought Choutarou. But Niou works too.

Well, that drawing made him fugly. ...He has hot eyes in that other image. They seem to bore a hole in your soul like that...
What is that creature over there? It looks like a black Eastern Dragon to me...

Dragon of some sort. Most people dismiss Akagi and Kaiji because they look like this:  The fanart is good and plentiful, the stories and characters are great - if you can't get around a few basic shapes and joke about noses then it does say something about your choice in animu. Kaiji is a little easier to watch style-wise though, it's a bit toned down. Kaiji ED is some classy shizz', yo |

But I have to say that in that video I didn't like the nose, but the chin looked nice. For me that style is a bit too... American cartoony. For some reason. It reminds me of Transformers: Animated (I HATE THAT ABOMINATION). |

I don't like the style either but I love the series and the characters. I can overlook a few things to enjoy the story, however there are other series, that to other anime fans are standard fare, where I can't stand the look of it and won't watch it.
There's definitely something appealing in Akagi and Kaiji that goes beyond the style, or somehow makes the style seem like a pleasant quirk. It's far from what the industry calls 'moe' (see Lucky Star for example) but hundreds of Kaiji fans run about shouting 'KAIJI IS MOOEE~~'

Hey! Akagi! I saw a little bit of that back when I first looked up Mahjong. The art did burn my eyes, but I'd be willing to give it another shot.
Saro-san, please don't give me more anime to add to my watch list. ;_; I just finished Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and now I've got to move on to ZSZS and Gurren Lagan (sp?). Not to mention a whole bunch of other stuff.

Most of you have probably already heard it, but... regarding what date it is today... here's Lovux's version of Valentine Kiss (AKA "OUCH! MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!"). Enjoy~  |

XD! Oh Lovux-sama, I lov-ux you! You have no idea how hard I just laughed hearing that.  That's the best version ever, but my dog disagrees with me. (It scared her a bit, she's hiding under my chair. XD) |
