Great, another training camp with all finalists to conclude the season. Although the preview did not show any mahjong :<
Yuuki's learning part was a bit too long, although Nodoka was caring nicely
Hajime without ponytail looked good xD , Touka <3

And I thought I was going to be disappointed when the series end without showing the nationals. I guess this alternative is good too. I can't wait to see the next episode and their summer camp (fanservice episode). Hopefully they'll be a season 2. Especially when we don't know a thing between Saki and her sister.

There is not much to looking forward in next episode, rather looking forward for the next season 2 when they are playing in national.

I can see the DVD version now... see through shirts instead of just wet... XP

Overall one of the worse episodes in the series, but as it's nearing the end, they didn't have much of an alternative I guess.

Saki x Nodoka almost kiss was just to much though, either do it or don't, stop alluding it to everyone. I'm seriously getting sick of all the under the table yuri in this series, bring some of them out of the closet already.

There will, of course, be a second season, there has to be, but it probably won't be for a while, after all, they need to get further in the manga first. And let's not forget that Saki (the 'main' character) is still in her first year, so we've still got two more years of this series, in it's time at least.

Kyoutaro. Poor guy. Am I the only one who didn't see him on the bus or getting off it at the end bit? I know you heard his name in the previews, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be there, after all, it's all girls going, they might have excluded him cos he'll just be an extra. Which would suck after he went and got all those supplies... damn, I really feel sorry for him. And he happens to be one of the only guys ever to appear in the series, and the only girls in the Saki world are closet lesbians.

These episodes might have little plot development but they are good for mindless relaxing entertainment. The Saki x Nodoka thing could be toned down a bit though. Koromo was ultra cute! And Hisa is so much win. XD

i was wondering what they were going to do for the last 2 episodes - this is a nice idea, the training camp. we get to say good bye to some of the characters properly before moving onto the nationals and next season (which i am assuming they will have becasue the other option just makes me sad)!!!

but yes they are getting a bit more... exagerated... in the relationships between the characters. but still i like the series and want to know what is goign to happen with the sister!!!

Decent. Too much fanservice, and the next one's probably not going to be any better.

Not quite, Yuuki has expressed interest in him. Although you kinda have to take that with a grain of salt.

I did notice that Kyoutaro wasn't on the bus, maybe he was just sitting in the front while everyone else was towards the back? Kinda been regaled to the club go-getter.

For some reason, I wanna say the last line of the preview was a reference, but not sure of what.


"You're such an idiot."
~Celty (Durarara)

"How many seconds until the boy confesses his love to the girl?"
~Durarara

Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process?

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

relationships are a bit exaggerated, yea ^ ^

I hope it too ^^ But not only one, two are good to me lol

Ok... it's a bit exaggerated, and I think won't have any kiss, because Gonzo (and the characters) are slow oO'

I'd be shocked if there wasn't a second season. The ending animation was practically a preview, showing all the girls and teams that will be at Nationals. It also looks like Saki and Nodoka will fight, since they show them separated in the rain and the souveneirs they got at the temple and traded thrown on the ground in a puddle. Also, the series doesn't end with "The End"... it ends with the line "we're just getting started"...

if they weren't going to have a 2nd season, they wouldn't have drawn all of those new characters just for a 1:30 second ending. It shows they are prepping for a second season.

LOL, Papa Jun and Mama Touka for Kodom... I mean Koromo.

Joint training camp huh? ^_^ The rich bunch have experience, so inviting them is smart. Mihoko's as lovely as ever, IMO, the best player/game reader in the prefecture. Koromo... should be a good preview to Teru, it seems she got intimidating playing style like Teru.

Anyway, the episode was pretty decent. I hope that the training camp will carry over to the next season, I wouldn't want a rushed competition with THIS gathering of players.
