I liked this episode to a certain point... It was all bubbly and happy, until Miyanaga-san had to blew it up into little pieces.

*gasp* Espada... I mean elite society of Mahjong players hidden away from the world.

In all seriousness this was a cute episode that I rather enjoyed... mostly it was a nice break of constant Mahjong matches.

I loved when Koromo latched onto Jun's arm. <3
A part of me also liked how they kept with the same swimsuits as shown in the ending.

i supose they are going to use the 5 remeining chapters in the individuals and an ending so that they can finish this in a second season, i hope so

How are we supposted to know what happend between them? If the manga chapters of that one doesn't have been released yet.
I don't think Saki know anything about that, probably something with the familiar situation or something.
It could also happening something in the high school that's why she act like that, oh man there is so a lot of opionens or likely I said above familiar situation like if you play for us then it would not happening anything to your sister

This is just my thought, btw anyone know anything about there going to be a season 2?

Well, since there really isn't a need for Saki or her teammates to win the individuals, it's probably going to go over to somebody else.

This episode was highly entertaining on its own way! *nod nods*

I guess Hisa will face off with Mihoko again basing from this episode's preview.
Wow! I'm super excited to see the outcome! But I think it's Mihoko who will win this time so it will give her, her last dance together with Hisa as they're both 3rd year students. Well... what I said there was just an agreement to what CkretAznMan said above. That's also just a guess looking through the eyes of a very determined Captain as I saw it in the preview.
Guess what will happen next? ( '_' )?

Also, Koromo was really cute when she clung on Jun. She was like a very cute animal there! <3 And Hajime is a perfect partner for Touka since she could handle things for her impatient and loud ojou-sama. XD Hajime was just calm and cool there in talking to the waiter. XD

I hope after the individuals finished, all the teams will have a nice bonding.

Now the next episode is one of my most anticipated one aside from the nationals (which won't likely happen now) Of course this series should follow up with a second season since the nationals wouldn't fit at all... perhaps...

By the way, I wonder who will be giving a remembrance to someone since the next episode's title is "Remembrance" Will someone bid farewells to a particular person as to giving a remembrance and all? I hope not though. ^_^'

Whatever Saki and Teru got into a fight over, it better be something serious, as not only did Teru refuse to talk to Saki when she visited, but now she's utterly denying any blood relation with her. It could also explain why flashback Teru and present time Teru seem so different in personality. (Until then, I will classify Teru as a Kuudere.)

Either way... Why was the person at the table near the end of the episode not Teru? Is Teru playing as vice-captain (and therefore actually going against Nodoka)? Was it an error? Was Teru so fustrated at the lack of strong opponents that she had her team's subsitute play for her? Was the match Kyoutaro watching during class actually the semis and the match we saw the end of actually the finals, which ended before Teru had a chance to play?

Shiraitodia looks so badass and serious compare to the teams that we have seen so far. The way see Teru at the end we might have some kind of idea what kind of battle Saki is going to face. "'Beats my sister up and bring her back" I guess.

As for the next ep, like many above have said and done, I can't wait to see those individual game and specially the one with Hisa and Mihoko.

So I'm guessing there's going to be a 2nd season, since the remaining episodes will probably determine the winner from the individuals tournament. Is it only 1 winner from the individuals going to the nationals? If so, I'm guessing either Mihoko or Touka will make it, more likely Mihoko though.

I'm actually kinda surprise they showed Teru in this episode. I was thinking we wouldn't see her till the last 1-2 episodes. Although somewhat an unfitting episode to introduce her imo given that it was ultra seriousness versus ultra fluff, it was a nice addition to keep viewers interested. And next, more mahjong goodness is always good.

So is Kyoutaro going to play mahjong at all? He's the only guy around, ever. So will he be the only guy playing against all those girls? Or did he just join the club to see Nodoka's boobs? If so, he got a pretty good eyeful of cleavage this episode; mission accomplished.

Loved that...
It's not a filler episode now...
Because all the manga stuff has been aired... <_<
So now, until the manga take a different path, the only thing we see is the "real" stuff.
Good episode... And loved the music when we saw Saki sister. O_o

It only will be fillers in the series if it does changed from the manga, but it seem like it follow quite nice.
Maybe we see season 2 in next year 2010, that would be best since they have to prepared or even better earlier.
I think they will hurry up with individuals tournament and not take everything in details.
I guess somehow ep 24-25 will see her sister Teru around in Tokyo but probably got ignore again and refused to talk to her, then Saki got desperated. Oh well there is so many think that can be happening.
Only a few days to sunday so can't wait to see it.

the MC did said "it's the start of final" right? so teru is the first among five. but it doesn't mean the arrangement of player can't be changed...-.-" best example will be kana.

Tht was a funny scene.

I didn't really like this episode because of the fact that it was too obvious.. As if they needed to show everyones swimsuit so the watchers continue watching..

Right now I think that Saki would get utterly destroyed by Teru. In this kind of story Saki will need to get crushed first to realise that she is not strong enough to stand against Teru then find a way to reach this level and to finally defeat Teru on an epic fight.

Seriously I don't mind at all the anime diverging from the manga since they reached the material because first the manga is monthly so to wait for it to cover the nationnal would be like asking to make the second season in 2011-2012, secondly I beleive that they can do fine without main material, this don't have a complex plot so it shouldn't be bad if it diverge from the manga, just different (as long as they don't forget the mahjong part of it) and the mangaka may even have told the studio how he planned to do the rest of it.
Anyway I want a season 2 soon.

If it is original material (not taken from manga) they can release it whenever they want but if they do wait for the manga to cover the national and that we suppose that it won't be shorter than the the last tournament then it's a safe bet to say that it won't come before 2011, remember that there's only 12 chapter a year, that's little material when we know the last tournament took around 20 chapter we can expect almost 2 year if that's not more for them to cover the needed part to do an anime adaptation.
The lattest chapter is when Saki play her last hand against Koromo I think.

I think Saki is NOT going to enjoy seeing her sister again after such a long time. The latter pretty much denies her sister's existence and I think Saki would need heck of a lot of support from her friends (and probably Nodoka the most) when she gets her high hopes crushed.

Also, Saki can't swim? I didn't see THAT coming.
