| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Go Yuuki! Jindai is also pretty awesome this episode and I liked the way she played her game. In terms of silliness, I find this amusing: http://imgur.com/JRAdQDy Good episode. The match went back and forth with almost everyone. |
 |
| Did that scene about the decision regarding Suzu happen in the manga? I don't remember it Awai's reaction to Jindai is great. Mako finally gets a chance to show her skills, blocking Miyamori's Aislinn time after time. Next episode: Hiroe vs Hisa... At least, after they have lunch. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Yuuki had her time to shine so now we start enjoying to anime again. Seems next match should be interesting with the upcoming players but time will tell how it will turn out. Looking forward to see Saki's match. And i didn't expect to see Awai so early in the anime. |
| The same pace goes in the manga as well kitten320 it's end quite fast as well over there. Mako sure has improved a lot since the first season, and keep blocking Aislinn all the time, more data better game for her. :) |

Mako's opponents were completely overlooked like if they are of no importance even though all of them are considered high tier players =/ In the 2nd players' match of the regional finals we saw 2 hands. We actually saw more here than that time. And we saw about the same level of detail on the other characters as well (Mako's 3 opponents there did get development, but this was pretty much exclusively outside of the match itself). Oh and that meeting on the roof did happen in the manga (saw it while double checking stuff) - I must have just forgotten about it. |

Mako's opponents were completely overlooked like if they are of no importance even though all of them are considered high tier players =/ It is a massive waste. I can't get into the series if I know nothing about characters neither can I root for anyone if they don't do anything. To be fair the first season only started to flesh out the cast of the final match which had 10 episodes, rounds 1 and 2 were barely shown before that. Same thing happened in Achiga where the first 2 matches were short and then they spent 8 episodes on the semifinal match. While this is an important match for Kiyosumi since it has strong schools I wouldn't expect it to be as fleshed out as the semifinals and finals that will come later. This is match is mainly to show how much they've improved since their training camp. |
| Not really fond of the next episode. |
| Wow! Mako is totes amazing. Revenge is a dish best served cold. |
| I felt so bad for Aislinn! Can't wait for Hisa's match <3 |
| Am I the only one worried about the pacing of the anime? The producers DO know that the manga hasn't even finished the Lieutenant match, right? At this breakneck speed, the Captain match of the Second Round is going to be over by the 8th episode. What are they going to do for 5 more episodes? Are they going to pull another Achiga and add in 4 more episodes post-Season? |

Are they going to pull another Achiga and add in 4 more episodes post-Season? not exactly, If you look at the number of chapters in relation to episodes, Mako and Yukis match combined in the manga was only 6 chapters long, Sakis match alone was over 10 chapters long, Nodoka and Hisas match combined was i believe 13 chapters long, see where I'm going? Even so, at this pace Sakis match should be finished around episode 11-12,wonder if they're going to add something extra, or maybe start the semifinals(just yukis match with satoha),and follow what you said pull an achiga and make postseason episodes to finish those |
| "I can still do it!" No you can't Aislinn. The victory music is already playing in background and that means Kiyosumi beast-mode lol. The next match is going to be painful to watch. Here comes trash talker Atago XD! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Aislinn`s voice is so adorable and i like her hair, too bad she lose. haha Kiyosumi you can do it! Saki vs. Teru Never! Saki vs. Shizuno Please make it happen! |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Now that was some breakneck speed. |
powerofemo said: Mako and Yukis match combined in the manga was only 6 chapters long, Yeah, and Mako's match was really short... ~10 pages :P |
| Aislinn is cute. Feel bad for her losing. WHY? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I miss the old announcers/commentators :( |
 |
| That was so quick. I mean the pacing makes sense for a 13 episode series, since I expect Nodoka and Saki will have more episodes of their match. There isn't really much...suspense? this season for me. When I watched season one it was really exciting and at the time I didn't know whether they would get to nationals or not (and it was such a close game). But this season isn't even covering the semifinals...so I mean this is just a stepping stone match anyway. |

Stupid move by the anime production. |

Thankfully I don't remember that. lol I really wished they would've extended Mako's match. I love the way she plays and Aislinn's "Why?" was so adorable. |
| They did extend it. The whole thing with the tiles lining up, and Aislinn's 'why?' and most of the play shown (including the entire last hand) is new to the anime. In the manga: page 10 - Mako leaves the room, patting Yuuki's head on the way out page 11 - commentating and images of them seated, with most of Mako's tiles visible page 12 - Himematsu discuss Aislinn page 13 - Miyamori discuss Aislinn and Mako's chi page 14 - Mako's chi continued, and reactions page 15 - the tsumo following the chi, and reactions page 16 - Mako's hand the next game, and discarding the red 5 page 17 - the pon, the reaction and Mako's ron. page 18 - Hisa flashback with all of 2 lines from Mako page 19 - Mako takes off her glasses. Aislinn looks confused. page 20 - Mako walks away from the table triumphant That's it. |

| "oops forgot to take off my glasses" "why~~" game over Mako always number 1 in lowest screen time haha |
| Good episode! I kinda felt bad for the blonde girl lol. |

| haha hell yes MAKO :D so good aislinn losing made my day haha kiyosumi has got this in the bag! very pleased with the pacing this ep lol i really just wanna see nodoka and saki play their games ;_; |
| MEGANE CHEAP POWA............ KAI! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Can’t say that I really enjoyed this. It felt dramaless. Part of why I enjoyed the first season so much was that they were able to inject each match with some drama, even though you thought you knew what the outcome would be. The opposition characters seemed more interesting. Doesn’t help that Aislinn seems like a poor imitation of Fukuji, and the drawing stuff was overused. Once would have been enough. Having said that, I’m glad that Mako did well. It redeems her for her poor play in the provincials. |
| Another nice episode but it did felt a bit slower paced... either way let's see what will happen next! |
 |
| Okay Mako is awesome. About time they did her justice, They always skimmed through her during the first season. I had to laugh out loud when Aislinn went "WHY" in English. XD PS did Saki even speak this episode? |
 |
| Another match done. Who's up next? |
| Well done Mako! She's the most overlooked character of the main cast IMO, but she delivers from time to time. That final scene was so funny, 3rd match hype! |
 |
| Man, that was a great episode. Yuuki still fails to deliver(Year 2 when?) but Mako rocked this time, this is what I want to see. Go Kiyosumi! |
  |
| Aislinn is so adorable. I felt sorry for her. :( |
 |
| Damn yuuki lose again, it's just back to square 1 again losing in each match she play with just a cape that made her different from the previous match, different with mako she was completely changed and win the match, im really not expecting it at all |
