The vast majority of anime series are adapted from manga. It's seen as a safe bet for studios, anime is expensive to produce and they don't want to take too many risks. So if they use an IP that's already proven itself to be successful as a manga, hopefully the anime will do well too.

• Akagi - If you know anything at all about mahjong, you probably already know Akagi very well. If you don't know mahjong, this series might be completely incomprehensible to you. So maybe there's not much point in me listing it here, but it's truly peak so I gotta mention it anyway.
• Kaiji - A gambler gets conned by shady loan sharks and has to clear his debt. A much more accessible-to-general-audiences series by the author of Akagi, Nobuyuki Fukumoto. Consider this the gateway drug - if you like it, it might be worth trying to learn mahjong to read/watch Akagi next, and then go down the rabbit hole into the rest of Fukumoto's work.
• Yotsuba& - Adorable slice of life manga about a five year old girl constantly getting into trouble. By Kiyohiko Azuma, best known for Azumanga Daioh (though for that series, watch the anime over the manga).
• Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Modern fantasy has gotten somewhat stale, which makes Frieren that much more of a breath of fresh air for how good it is. Disclaimer that I haven't yet read the manga, only watched the anime, but it's so good that I can't not plug it here. I've heard the manga is just as good and it's on my list to get around to at some point.

Choosing between Gojo Satoru and Suguru Geto from "Jujutsu Kaisen" depends on the context of the choice. Gojo is often seen as a powerful protector and a symbol of hope for the jujutsu world, while Geto represents a more complex and morally ambiguous character with his own vision for the future of jujutsu sorcerers.

If the choice is about who to support in a fight or as a hero, many might lean towards Gojo due to his strength and ideals. However, if the choice is about exploring deeper themes of ideology and conflict, Geto's character offers a fascinating perspective. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what aspects of their characters resonate more with you. Who would you choose?
