Jpn : 面白い・・・狂気の沙汰ほど面白い・・・!
Phonetic: Omoshiroi…Kyoki no sata hodo omoshiroi…!
Eng: Interesting (Fun) ... as interesting (fun) as madness ...!
(I have learned everything important in my life from animation/manga)
When we do gambling, we become mad (sometimes), but in another word, we become mad so that we see things very interesting, aka see things very differently. Well, it is madness! We got to be careful not to get addicted to gambling, but well well, it is fun to do so. Ah, madness!!
