| Don't know what to say, really. I'm supposed to enjoy a series about a character whose only ability is having superhuman luck? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of playing a game at all, if you win by luck every time? Excessive fanservice is also a no go. I was hoping this one would be interesting, but I'm going to have to drop it. |

seishi-sama said: naikou said: Excessive fanservice is also a no go. There was a fanservice? o_O Didn't notice any... That's what I tried to say in earlier post. Is what makes other do the things with pics. Watch when onsen or mizuki episodes come. There was something also about cheating in some scene had too many tiles (15 as to 14). |

| Lol, the fanservice isn't really getting to me so it's pretty much ignored. I only care about the mahjong and how the hell she keeps getting +/- 0 all the time. O_O |

 |
| Don't know what's going on but still a good watch. |
 |
| Mahjong is on my top 2 Chinese games list... The other is Chinese Chess, which is badass by the way. Also I actually have interest in these characters and I think this might actually get me back to my lovable high standards again. Yay!!! Lastly I want some form of Yuri to come out of this. |

| I thought this was a sport anime... when did I get to the ecchi channel? anyways, i loved this episode, though maria+holic then saki is yuri overload... |
    |
| Is it just me or...? I am starting to get the feeling that there will be some ecchi GL romance in this one. Was Saki admiring the beauty of Nodaka-san or was she starting at her... |
 |
| Interesting episode and a series I may just casually watch on the side. I hope the potential yuri becomes something more than quiet blushes and the awkward hugs. |
 |
| Mahjong and GIANT BREASTS? Sounds like a winning combination to me. |
| Pretty cute anime. I can't say more than this, because i don't know Mahjong and its rules... Maybe i'll dig in it later^^ |
| It was pretty good, but I can't understand mahjong at all.. |
 |
| Was way too boring, cuz I was understanding wtf were they playing... but I liked the boobs |
 |
| Holy shit....mahjong is srs business. |
| lmao did I get any of the mah-jhong references? No I did not, will I still watch? Yeah sure why not xD lmao seems to be a fun series. |
| I didn't know mahjong could be so epic o_o. |

 |
| I never really understand the 'mahjong' nor I want to really learn how to play it, but watching the 1st episode esp. the game was really eye catching.. disregarding the mahjong this anime looks great |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
this... was strangely surreal. I don't know jack about mahjong so I just had to read the notes and take the characters reactions for what they are. I mean the character designs are appealing (BOOBS!), so I'll stick with it. |
 |
| They really made it epic, I didnt even bother pausing to understand cause even if I read it all I wouldn't even be close to understanding. Ill just enjoy the animation, epic moments and well the umm 'figures'. |
| Rewatching this after learning how to actually play. Wish they'd show the hands more, but I still don't understand a few of the terms they use. Still, I'm sure that my newfound knowledge will help out ...? XD |
| Watched because it had rec's from Hikaru no Go, which is my fav anime probs.This is cute, i love the characters.. very cliche and rushed first episode. was surprised to see fan service but don't mind it. it will never fill the shoes of HnG, but hopefully i enjoy it |
 |
| After watching Akagi, this just doesn't entertain me... Ah well. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place for some thriller mahjong. |
| Why did I wait this many years to begin this series ? I was a fool. |
 |
| Not a bad episode although at the same time, not too appealing imo. I don't know shit about majong but this first episode got me some interest. |
 |
| A pretty good start. This is proving to be interesting. |
 |
| This look rather astrocious on Crunchyroll <_<'' But I liked this episode. Might be a fun show. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| it got me totally excited *_* gonna watch ep 2 |

| it got me totally excited *_* gonna watch ep 2 |
|
| Well off to read walls of text about mahjong |
 |
| An interesting first episode and definitely eye candy, but I really have no idea what's going on with the games. Honestly the sub notes explaining the rules sucked and only made it make less sense, but it was still a fun watch. Even looking up terms is making my mind reel harder than when I was looking up pitching terminology for my first baseball anime. Really would like to be able to react to the games just like the players, but I won't let it bother me too much. Maybe it'll be a gradual learning experience. |
 |
| I actually liked it, despite all that terminology and the fact that I have never played mahjong, ever. |
 |
| Pretty decent start I must say, nice characters, fun and interesting concept so let's see what the whole story will offer us! |
 |
| Ohh man .. I can feel it .. I can feel the overflowing excitement on this game .. even though , I did not understand anything up to this point but , It's just the beginning anyway .. though, it's so entangling .. I'm really loving the exhilaration right now ~ !! "Superhuman luck that can make the outstanding miracles ." I'm hyped to see it more . |

| Lol, is Yuuki's tongue the shape of a heart? I play mahjong, but not the Japanese version of it so I was unfamiliar with some of the terminology used in this episode. I can do without Nodoka's bouncing boobs though. |
 |
| Not as good as Akagi since it's a comedy, not a thriller but it's not bad. |
| I have no idea what is going on xDD. And what is with that loli character hahaha!! |
| Cute! ^^ |
| this game is confusing . |
 |
| Lol, get wrekt Nodoka. There's potential in the setting, I expect this to play well in the long run. |
  |
| I don't play mahjong or know anything about it so I am already lost. I'll still watch it. Seems fine and unique. "I don't like mahjong." OOOOOOOH! |
| That dramatic thunder xD So, this is what it feels like to watch Hikaru no Go without Go.. Instead they changed it into Mahjong xD Definitely didn't understand anything.. Maybe because I don't understand the rules of Mahjong or even how to play it? xD |
