Such gratuity. In any case, I guess her mahjong skill is just being lucky. Not that I know the rules, but it just seems that she pulls what she needs. Reminds me of Yugioh, believing in the heart of the tiles or something like that.

I was too excited to watch Saki for some reason because it was very entertaining for me to watch it. I can’t wait to watch the DVD version for Nodoka and Saki when it comes out later. :3

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.

I don't know, but I just couldn't stop myself from laughing after Miyanaga declared "kong" and won with a "yakuman".. It's like she knew that the next piece she'd get was her win already. No wonder the others thought Miyanaga was rigging the game, lol. Oh, and another thing I found amusing was the consistent blushings and right after Miyanaga won the 4th hand, she seemed so "wet" lol.


haha ya. When I noticed she was all wet I thought she was gonna say "I need to go to the bathroom" or something when she started stuttering I..I...

The episode was pretty interesting or at least the beginning part. A bit too much fan service for my tastes, but it is Gonzo afterall. The whole thing with Saki is pretty annoying though. "I'm so good. I can only lose". Oh come on. I have to agree with Nodoka on this one somewhat. It's annoying that she's so great at something she doesn't even like.

Ecchi mahjong....this is the first!

Saki is interested in the measurements of Nodaka-san..



I am finding Saki's mahjong abilities to be very unrealistic. However, this is the best mahjong anime so far..

Well even after reading Mahjong for dummies guides, I was still lost. Guess I'll just have to let that go and take it for the rest of what this show has to offer. The moe, the humor, and the moments that make me smile.

Nodoka's boobs are huge! She seems to be the center of fanservice this show has. And she joined the club.

This is really overwhelming in terms of mahjong vocabulary. They don't give a damn about explaining any of the terminilogy. Its like you are expected to know all of these words and things. Hopefully they get into explaining a bit more about the rules in the following episodes...

Damn, that ending them is so adorable!

The only two things bothering me so far is that I don't get the game at all... And Rie Kugimiya, but that's nothing new, otherwise it's nice.

I'm honestly surprised that I'm not bothered with the fanservice, and more with Strike Witches (that I didn't like mostly due to that) being from the same studio, I prefer this setting a lot more anyways tbh.

Nodoka is so freaking hot.

Saki joined the club which was expected.

All that blushing in this show is pretty adorable. ^^

I can't believe I recommended this anime to someone. This anime is written really poorly. In first episode, we are introduced to our MC who has a trauma which keeps her away from even coming near mahjong. Okay, it's actually a good start. A trauma that makes you hate the game you liked. Reminds you of Hikaru no Go where that trauma was played out very well and in fact was one of the things that made Hikaru no Go a masterpiece.
As for Saki, in the very next episode after being introduced to the traumatized girl they shove away that trauma simply by the fact there's another girl with huge irritating boobs playing with her... Yeah, that was anticlimatic. What was that trauma even for?

Anyways, I'm probably going to continue watching this anime one day because I watched it before and somehow I remember it being a good anime overall.
