| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Looks like the challengers are going to be tough this time for Saki and her team. Also I was kind of eager to see what that blond guy, his name always escapes me, had as his score in the tournament. Lastly Gonzo is really pissing me off with the potential yuri thing in the new ending theme song. I mean seriously just make out already! |

| Hmm.. You are not really getting it, Saki is the same voice actor that have done Maria-Sama, how much Yuri did you see there? I can't see any Yuri that's closed friendships in Maria-Sama same goes for Saki. Are you watching this for Yuri or you like Mahjong? This anime isn't Hentai so not going to be that way Does that matter if that ending is that way? I can feel those people that are done this anime is lolicon lmao. Too bad I couldn't see Saki playing on the screen. Sooner or later we see her more. :Ö) |

| so we don't even get to see her play? saki must have had like a mega pwn on all her opponents and we don't get to see? ah, man, but it seems the penguin thing works |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I liked the episode but like you all said, they should have shown us how Saki's play went out. Well, meh. Yeah, I know this show emits so-called yuri-vibes but there's other things in here that's even more interesting than that XP |

| They really skipped out on round 2. Man, I was hoping we'd at least see some epic CG tiles being placed on a table with all sorts of random sounds (Ron! Tsumo! Richi! etc) coming out. That was about my only disappointment, well that and not seeing Saki play. Though I think we all expected Saki to blow away the weaker players. Also... the new ED... just wondering but... Did they get even bigger? |
| Too bad we didn't see Saki blow her opponents away, though. (Will they win the finale or not?) And I'm wondering, we still haven't seen her sister, who is also participating in the tournament, right? The captain from Kazekoshi looks a bit like Saki.. but maybe that so-called demon from Ryuumonbuuchi? Megiddo said: Did they get even bigger? I prefer the new ED a bit over the old one, and Megiddo, exactly my thought. Seriously, her costumes hardly fit.. :l And from the preview, it looks like the next episode is going to rely alot on 'fanservice' again, with girls bathing and NodokaxSaki holding hands under a starry night. Gheez. :l |

| a new ending ~ cool... |
     |
| Really good episode. Can't wait to see the face of Amae and the so-called monster-power. On the other hand, Mihoko, I am really want to see what kind of power she will unleashed once she opened her right eye. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| They're not gonna show us Saki's skills on a simple match. They're gonna wait till she's playing the monsters. |
  |
jsrr said: Pretty sure these are just the prelims to get to the nationals. Since her sister moved, she is probably in a different set of prelims going on elsewhere. Yeah, I remember now. Saki probably meant she will 'meet' her sister at the nationals, so that's why she's probably so into it. To play against her sister I think. |
| yeah i wished i can see saki playing too~~ but really short i mean theres only 4 left? probably fit for a 13 epi seire but still... anyway i liked the wai waii ed more^^ |

Kiseki said: yeah i wished i can see saki playing too~~ but really short i mean theres only 4 left? probably fit for a 13 epi seire but still... anyway i liked the wai waii ed more^^ i was thinking that there'd be at least 2 seasons, if not more. the manga hasn't even finished yet, i could see this becoming something like prince of tennis, although that would be highly unlikely. Anyway, i'm getting addicted to this show, even though i know it's not that great. Anticipating Saki pwn in the next episode. |
| You shouldnlt really anticipate "Saki pwn" next ep. From the preview it's going to be one of those calm-before-the-storm, errr pre-final things featuring hot springs and other fanservice I'm certain. Prefectural finals will probably start episode 9. They'll probably go through episode 10 or 11. Then we'll get a few episodes of fluff/training, and then the nationals will probably start around episode 15 and go on until ep 24/26. |
| looks like they are saving Saki's skill for later on dam seems like this tournament going a bit quick, hmm btw the new ed isnt bad at all, actually preferred this than the previous one |
| To desolato You are very wrong about her sisters is playing in this tournament, I thought Saki sisters is already Pro players so don't see any reason to see her playing here. My own comments : Koromo Amae doesn't look in the picture here that she isn't a demon. I think this anime will have at least 26 episodes or if they don't have it will be too short. The manga is better. Does that sounds right? Amae Koromo have power of Demon Miyanaga Saki have power of God, or likely blessed from Heaven. |

| Man mahjong is some serious fucking business. But wtf is up with winking girl's magical blue eye? Is she a cyborg!? |
 |
| well the mahjong is good but the girls are better. hahaha all the flash and flair kinda get a bit tacky but its the only way to make this show worth watching. |
| Lol Saki is one of my favorite show this season. I wanted to see Saki play... I couldn't care less about Nodoka match. Saki's sister is a pro player but I think she will assist to it, even more if she heard that her sister is playing in it. If I understood well she don't have any connection with her and her sister comming to see her play is probably the only way she could ever see her. Anyway Saki got mad skill and she pwned the team so it's all good. I feared they would go with Saki playing plus minus zero, getting a bad reputation and against Koromo when everything seem hopeless beating the crap out of her. |

| The lack of Saki made this the worst episode so far. |

| New ED theme already? Isn't this going to be 26 episodes? Why so early? o_o |
    |
| aw they changed the ending theme. i liked the first one more :( |
There isn`t really a need for this kinda of addition. It takes all attention from the game itself. And after watching the episode you`r left with pretty much only one thing on the mind... and its not a mahjong. |
 |
| I just have to wonder how she can walk straight with those weighing her down. Her back must be ungodly strong. |
| Interesting New ED. Wonder what Saki's match was like. |
| I read the manga,the Kazekoshi captain didn't open her right eye until later chapters. Also, I was anticipating Yuuki's match in the finals. ;; Oh, i want the finals to begin already! |
    |
| Hm... I think someone will steal Nodoka's penguin sometime later. It's kinda obvious. |
HoaRy said: Edit: okay, Fukuji Mihoko is a moe trap that got me, with that ever closed eye (better than eyepatch!) and maybe some seiyuu plus :)) Heh, a trap? How did you know? |
cr4sian_phil said: Because the old one sucked?New ED theme already? Isn't this going to be 26 episodes? Why so early? o_o Anyway, epic mahjong, not much else to say. |
| this epd was ok i guess, add me to the list of people that wanna see saki play though |
| Disappointed at not getting to see Saki play. Other than that, it was an interesting episode. Is it just me, or is this tournament really, really stacked :P |
| I was pissed we didn't see Saki own the floor during her play, but this episode broke my nutbladder so it all evens out. |

I wouldn't say it's crap, but the old ED was just so much fun to listen to, whereas this is just really generic. Plus, frilly goth-loli dresses are no match for a chibi free-for-all and dancing mahjong pieces. |

| I am more interesting in Mihoko’s right eye and her somewhat power that she will unleashed later. I am little gloomy that Saki’s playing is not there in the episode, and I enjoy to watch Nodoka’s playing. I really can't wait to see the face of Amae. I loved the new ED, and I really hope there are yuri scenes in Saki, of course. Megiddo said: I just have to wonder how she can walk straight with those weighing her down. Her back must be ungodly strong. Well, Anime != Real Life Therefore, she don't feel it at all. :P |

| nice ep. Wonder how pro the other teams are |
| Nice episode, so bad we didn't see Saki crushing the players in the last part of the game... And already a new ending ? Well, it's cute and deliciously yuri, so i liked it ^^ |

bla bla bla 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.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Wow really fast pace from this episode there nearly at the grand final already O_O and yet the girl who destroyed the other teams last year still eludes our view =O |
| Ah, I love seeing the mahjong part! Too bad we didn't get to see everyone play. Lots of that coming up though!! :D Oh and the new ED is nice too :P |
| Nice play! Pretty interesting development, a bit sad that we didn't manage to see Saki play but either way it was pretty lovely especially that ending! Let's see what happens next! |
 |
| The "Guardian of the heavens" makes her debut !! "Descended from the high !!" Kiyosumi is a top contender for the finals !! That , I am absolutely sure with it . The Finals have been decided .. Vengeance , Triumphs and breakdowns on the way !! |

| Great episode!! |
| Alrighty, watched this anime quite a few times, at least 5 times, and now comes my question... What the.... is wrong with Kazekoshi's coach (Takako Kubo)? Stern personality and whatever doesn't really explain much, can be seen already... It's always annoyed me so much and how she's allowed to even coach is a mystery to me. Sure, she does get slightly better at one point (ever so slightly, barely....) If someone has read the manga or noticed something somewhere that explains what's up with her anywhere in the anime, please do PM me about it. Or at the least how she's still able to work as a coach doing what she does lol. If it's from manga then no, I don't care about spoilers about her, she's pretty much at the top of my most hated characters ever. If it spoils anything about any other characters then you could leave that out though I don't care much as I'll probably forget about it anyway. :P |

| Nodoka did as expected, but what bothers me the most is why Kyoutarou is even with the band? This guy better ends up in a couple with somebody or his unfortunate presence will become a reason for me to downrate this anime. Wasabi said: LOLBut wtf is up with winking girl's magical blue eye?
