I liked the first two arcs about the restricted rock, paper, scissors and the bridge crossing, but I thought it got kind of boring at the E card and lottery arcs. A big problem I had with the first season was that each arc seemed to drag on for too many episodes, like one whole episode would be Kaiji revealing one card from his hand. I have to say this was a good first episode. Seeing Kaiji's psyche break down in the presence of all the food and beer was really gripping to watch. I just hope the dice game that they're going to be playing doesn't drag on like E card did from the first season.
Yeah, this is one problem I have with the series. I like it, but it drags so long. It's nice to see the build up behind a move and the thought process of a character, but they stretch it so long.
