akagi - story of a mahjong playing tensai set in post-war Japan. must watch if you are even the slightest fan of mahjong. the setting is kinda dark and moody, so this is not your average feel-good anime.

the art though kinda unusual and is very different from your average TV Tokyo animes, so that may put off some people.

info here

currently subbed by Triad, and is up to ep 11 i think. it's going quite slow though, sometimes have to wait like 1 month between episodes
