Bebpo, Akagi and Kaiji are like...the best animu ever.
just try to swallow the long noses and all artstyle for an episode or two and you will get hooked fast, it was like One Piece for me, weird artstyle at first but fuck that THIS IS AMAZING.
also, did you watch Seirei no Moribito? I didn't like it but same author/studio made another animu called Kemono no Souja Erin and it ended recently at 50 episodes, might wanna give it a try.
