ashura said: erm i thought the black Mokona is male :S What? Gender has never been stated in the manga, as far as I remember. The Mokona are androgynous. Both White and Black and any other that have ever existed, afaik. I haven't seen this episode yet though so I can't say for certain what was said. |
Shinsen-Subs said: P.S: Mokona is neither male or female, english lacks gender neutral pronouns so we've had to pick she for certain instances. This does not mean Mokona is a girl etc..etc... have fun. http://www.shinsen-subs.org/ |

| this episode was quite slow... Oh,I hope things go smoothly with Zashiki-Warashi |
 |
| Well, basically I didn't understand mahjong at all, but the episode was kinda funny. I guess I just love Watanuki and Doumeki, that's all. ^^ |
| I played mahjong once with a friend who plays for a long time and knows all the tricks pretty well, but I don't really remember the rules too well and even less the names of combinations and tiles in any other languages than French so this episode was quite hard to follow ;) |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Poor, poor, Watanuki, he just can't seem to win – even when he does. XD I can't believe that they dedicated an entire episode to playing mah-jong, if it is true that there is only thirteen episode for this series than they can't spend too many episodes like this, then again, it's a nice change of pace, the first five episodes where so manga intense that it's a nice little break. It was also a nice touch to have cameo appearances from Himawari, Ame and Sazhiki-warshi. In the end, I found this episode a tad difficult to follow with all the mah-jong jargon, but a good one nevertheless. I can't wait until the next episode! |
 |
| I didn't even bother trying to understand the rules or anything, but it worked out well enough I suppose. Watching Watanuki spaz is always fun. Doumeki and Yuuko speculating over what Mokona's thoughts were was priceless. :) I also loved Doumeki's silent glares. Heehee~ It was a pretty enjoyable episode; I laughed quite a bit. Here's looking forward to the next one! |
     |
| Haha funny episode even though i didnt understand anything, Watanuki's crazy moments is fun to watch :D Im looking forward to the next episode, i liked that part in the manga |
 |
| This episode was so fun, I love love love mah jong. Watanuki is as cute as ever... Next episode is gonna be a blast... |

| Finaly subbed loved the mahjong game :D |
| Brilliant episode. I didn't understand Mahjong at all, but I found myself laughing so much. "Mokona just likes to make patterns" x] Yuuko and Doumeki speculating Mokona's moves were hilarious. The whole Watanuki winning a hand was funny too xD Watanuki's 'nyah!' was priceless. Ah, he's adorable~ Gah 5/5. Keeps getting better x] |
 |
| That was damn hard to sub episode >.< I thought my head gonna blow with that mahjong rules and combinations. But i think i can even play mahjong mysef :)) But anyway xxxHoic Kei still has weaker impact, than 1st season :( |

| This episode was pretty interesting to watch. Being able to see Watanuki bullied by the 3 was really fun to watch. It just seems like no matter what he does, he just screws it up - even the good things. 8D My favourite part of the episode was naturally the ending. While the rest was fun and all, the ending where Yuko imparts a piece of wisdom is just the best - it always is. I personally like the way this season is playing out, where the episodes are linked together in some way or another and not plainly episodic. |
| Also spotted some Akagi refernces, and I haven't even seen that anime yet. There was probably a lot of mahjong references that I didn't catch...and then there were the rules of the game. Nonetheless, alright episode. Seeing the sprites appear is always a good thing too. |
| Watanuki over reacted waaay too much in this episode. But happing ending.. so all good right? =3 |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Episode was ok I guess. Seeing Ame-warashi and Zashiki-warashi is always nice. |
 |
| Well, I guess episode is OK, though it didn't contain too much of a story. But besides... maybe I wasn't in the mood, but it pissed me off. Watanuki's losses which result into owes, Rain Sprite's constant b*tching (damn, I really hate her) and in the end Watanuki's forced to cook again T_T |
| Did Doumeki request something? I thought the ep was confusing overall. |
 |
| This seemed like a pointless episode, and I don't find the Watanuki spaz-outs to be very funny at all. Moreso just a tired gag. They probably could've left this episode out and I wouldn't have minded. |
 |
| Yeah, I don't thing anyone really understood mahjong, but it was a fun alternative to our usual metaphorical episodes. 4/5 for being confusing, but all-in-all it was a great episode. |
     |
| Zen zen wakaranai!!! DX Even with Shinsen notes i didn't understand what was going on (T_T)' but mahjong looks fun, i wanna try it :) Was pretty funny though and nice to see Ame-warashi and Zashiki-warashi ♥♥♥ Hmm why didn't they show the Girl Spirits face :| her hair was like Yuko's hair... Hope they don't do much episodes like this since there's only 13 of em :( Guess I'll start reading the manga sometime soon... |
| Haha!Watanuki is so bad in mahjong. |
    |
A filler tbh was still quite funny and it was nice to see a Hatsune Miku Reference in it! |
 |
| I didn't understand anything, but Watanuki was really funny in this episode. I laughed when he was spinnin' around on his head and stuff. The cat lady was in the preview, so I'm kinda excited for the next ep. |
| Mahjong, serious business. Now if only Saki is xxxHolic Kei there playing too. |

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. |
| This episode bored me, but I never enjoy episodes where anime characters play board games. |
| Yay for an Akagi mention! I need to rewatch that sometime. I'm sure many people did not like this because Majhong is a very complex game. But man Watanuki gets abused way too much by them. |
 |
| The game is kind of confusing but it looks cool. |
 |
| What the fuck man. That beginning explanation had some creepy music. Watanuki got triple the beating. |
 |
| Mahjong is quite difficult, I guess. Enjoyed the episode, and lol at Yuko asking Watanuki to strip as compensation :D |

| I don't know much about Mahjong so i didn't really enjoyed the episode. But that Akagi reference was totally unexpected. |
 |
| Really good episode I love how Clamp hides the real depth and meaning of the episode in such a lighthearted way. The subtle hints as to why they were really their playing Mahjong were brilliant imo. |

For me it seemed Doumeki requested something related to that kimono-sakura girl, maybe to send her to heaven in exchange for that sake Yuuko received in the end... |

ToG25thBaam said: So I am not sure if you guys remember but when Watanuki met Kohane-chan for the first time she was looking at the soul of a woman that was in a cherry blossom tree. The should of that woman was take and put into a tree at Domeki's Shrine. After the conclusion of the Mahjong game Yuko and Mokana make mention of how the woman has finally moved on and was smiling. Watanuki mentions that it would make Kohane happy. Domeki's enchantment was enough for the spirit to move on but the Mahjong game they all played was.

| Wow I actually thought this was a filler for 95% of the episode lol.. Even though I don't know how to play that game, it was still fun to watch for some reason. Seeing who would win/lose was exciting in itself. |
