Here's your goddamn Kaiji 4, bitches. Spoiler: he's still a loser!

ZAWA ZAWA

In other news, we also have a new Dogtato comic today. Drago couldn't get his lazy ass to bother translating it, so I did the best I could with the limited Japanese that I know. I got close enough, I think.

The first season's zawas were dramatic and inspired fans to talk about them. The second season's zawas are distracting and seem to have been expressly recorded with the intent of generating fan hubbub. It's kind of like what happens when you try and force genius: you get an inferior product. It was better when they weren't aware that what they were doing was awesome because their awareness is what I think has ruined it in Season 2.

Agree completely. I think what you described has ruined many many sequels, actually.

Nah, it's a fair question, don't get mad at him. Triad never had a delay quite this long during their release of Kaiji S1 in 2007-2008. If you look back at their release dates ...

Kaiji 26 - Friday, April 18, 2008

Kaiji 25 - Wednesday, April 09, 2008

Kaiji 24 - Sunday, March 23, 2008

Kaiji 23 - Sunday, March 16, 2008

Kaiji 02 - Saturday, October 13, 2007

Kaiji 01 - Friday, October 05, 2007

The top five longest delays they ever had were ...

(1) 17 days to get out Episode 25

(2) 15 days to get out Episode 17

(3) 15 days to get out Episode 09

(4) 13 days to get out Episode 12*

(5) 12 days to get out Episode 14

* I don't know when they released Episode 11 (blog doesn't make it clear whether it came co-packaged with 10 or with 12 or whether it came out on its own) and so the "delay" between episodes 10 and 12 might actually have been punctuated by Episode 11's release.

Regardless, given 24 confirmed release dates, the average delay between releases was 8.1 days. (195 days between the releases of Episodes 1 and 26 divided by 24 intervals of time corresponding to 25 known release dates [since Episode 11 is off the grid]. If my math's off by a bit, don't geek out: this isn't for a grade, I'm just demonstrating a point.)

And the point I've been leading up to has been that while many of the Kaiji fans here today *are* accustomed to Triad's slow pace, they have never before had to contend with a delay or a silence of this magnitude. Back when Triad left us hanging with Episode 24 for SEVENTEEN DAYS before rolling out Episode 25, fans were practically clawing their eyes out in anticipation for how TISSUEBOXLOL would play out. You can see the evidence of that here, in the news post for Episode 24: http://www.the-triad.org/News-article-sid-523-mode-thread-comments_startnum-301.html . It made its way to SEVEN PAGES (over 300 replies) before finally, on April 9, Triad rolled out the 25th episode of the first season.

Now, if a seventeen-day delay in 2008 was bad, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable for a fan to politely express his frustration about a delay that's already gone ten days longer than that. It's been twenty-seven days since we last heard anything from Triad regarding Kaiji S2. This isn't just about them falling behind schedule any more: we don't even know if they're still working on subbing this series or if they've dropped it for any number of reasons. I think it's reasonable at this point for fans to expect of Triad an announcement declaring several things: firstly, whether they're planning on continuing to sub this series or not; and secondly, what their current status is.

Found Season 1 Episode 11

Didn't show up the first time I searched for the Kaiji S1 episodes because I had typed in "Kaiji" (since apparently searching a blank is game-breaking) and it turns out that the only news post to NOT contain the word "Kaiji" at least somewhere inside of it was Episode 11's. Here it is:

Kaiji 11 - Friday, December 14, 2007

Not too big a deal. Divide by 25 now instead of 24, you still get an average release delay of 7.8 days.

>No. 12956 hits the nail on the head.

Even a post saying "we're still working on it, stfu faggots" would be better than this silence. I guess it's more 'forgiving' considering it's not right near the end of the series, but still, it's frustrating. I keep forgetting I'm even watching it this season.

So basically Triad became a gambling anime, and we must solve it using the data at our disposal and our wits ?

I don't care how long it takes, I'm grateful that Triad is subbing this series and I'll be happy when they do eventually release more episodes.

You know, I'm wandering how a typical day in the life of a Triad member goes.

Like, does LordBryan wake up the morning, come and check these comments, read them without feeling anything special, and then move on with his life ?

i agree with No. 12960,some sort of post saying whats going on would be appreciative so then if in the worse case scenario so everyone could move on with their lives and watch elsewhere instead of just praying its not dropped and possibly wasting time not watching the series elsewhere

Triad is currently working on writing/animating a gambling anime of their own and will no longer be subbing a direct competitor.

Triad: the Animation:

24 episodes about a single coin flip for a dollar punctuated by the narrator yelling every single insignificant thing with the background music consisting of nothing but "zawazawazawa" culminating in the final episode where LordBrian rushes in and calls everyone a faggot

I had a dream last night

In it, Triad released ep.5. It was a very tl;dr post that went along with it, but the gist was someone was holidaying and someone had a very bad cold for a week and a half and couldn't do anything. Everybody was very understanding. There was a mention of ep. 6 + 7 coming soon too. It was a nice dream.

Do you see what you're doing to me Triad?!? I am having DREAMS about getting the latest episode! That is not good!! Stop my descent into insanity ASAP, please!!!
