Kaiji is good times. Great soundtrack, awesome narrator. Feels tremendously epic at times.

Yeah the kaiji anime was just too slow to prefer over the manga

Both of these are valid points.

The anime is incredibly strong, but the manga is much better paced, especially in the Bog arc.

It's a shame that nothing past that is likely to ever get animated, though. The current manga is very, very good imo.

Also on the subject of spelling out Kaiji's plans, as you somewhat called out (but I'm not sure you actually understood fully), It's kind of a running thing that the more a plan is spelled out, the harder it's inevitably going to fail. Meanwhile, the unexplored and unexplained plans always go well. It's a tad predictable, but still.
