KAIJI: ULTIMATE SURVIVOR English Dub Wraps On HiDive
HiDive has officially launched the final English dubbed arc for Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor which includes episodes 16-26.
Produced by Nippon Television, D.N. Dream Partners, VAP and Madhouse, the series was directed by Yuzo Sato , with Hideo Takayashiki handling series composition, Haruhito Takada designing the characters and Hideki Taniuchi composing the music. Here’s the English dub cast.
Synopsis:
Kaiji Ito has serious issues. Not only is he a social misfit, but he’s also a deadbeat petty gambler. After he gets duped into co-signing a loan for his friend, he’s stuck owing the Yakuza millions! Things start looking up when he’s given the chance to win his life back by gambling with other “lucky” participants on a mysterious casino ship, but soon Kaiji and the other contestants will discover the depths of human depravity when there is nothing left to lose — except their lives.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
