Well the girls had fun till they started climbing that mountain which not everyone enjoyed, if you have trouble during the climb than how do you feel during the decant?
The hotel part was even worse with the girls being forced to pull an all nighter thill they fell as well.
Well hopefully next time there will be more mahjong judging from the preview that might not be the case tho.
Training camp? This was more like an excursion trip than the actual training camp. The mahjong match was very funny to watch when they were sleepy and tried to play properly.
Perhaps one of the funniest episodes so far, mainly for the last bit where they were all playing Mahjong while struggling to stay awake, something I heavily relate to lol. Poor Haneru was absolutely determined tho and that’s what made it really funny, I especially loved when she gave Izumi the energy drink which kept her wired the whole time, not any better at mahjong tho lol. And slowly they dropped one by one until it was just Haneru left, I definitely have memories of similar situations at sleepovers, I specifically remember this happening while playing Risk lol.
And the sightseeing was a good time as well, you never know what treasures could be hiding in your own home, it was mostly good times besides the trek that had Haneru dead inside lol. Perhaps one day Haneru will get her game with Riche and the ultimate showdown of the final destiny will occur.
so this time we just have a full on 4 player dream. its ok i guess
actually i just realized. have all the dream sequences been on a manual table?
i also wonder just how many times they've sekretly reused the footage without showing us
the ufnny thing is. one of these times its not evne gonna be a dream. because this time its our four girls, not like some random scene
huh. so i've never actually seen. im not sure if its legal to win without arranging your hand, at the very least i would think the tournament organizers would require you to arrange it during scoring
but yes its a dream
i was actually reminded by the ryuisou in the op but well.
i'm still wondering if anyone is actually going to score something funny at some point, or if its going to be just
i suppose statistically its a lot more common to have unfinished hands than actually completed ones, so its not inaccurate either
is it actually a camp with mahjong or mahjong with camp
emi is actually pretty cute. well all the girls are really. its just a shame
its tourism time. and well walking is fine and all i guess
that reminds me, because the first 5 eps were almost entirely in the parlor, but now they are actually going out
i do wonder but well its not such a big deal. we only saw nashiko's house briefly in the first ep. while they mentioned about emi's preusmably is a bit further away. and last episode they took a car too
imagine if someone actually went to the places in real life and took photos. since this is supposed to be based on the actual
oh my whats this? huh. well that was the shortest bathhouse scene ever
i wonder just how high are they going?
im surprised emi didnt straight up collapse
wouldnt it be pretty heavy to carry their mahjong set the whole time? oh welp. it would be funny if they actually played
honestly like i feel they could have split the two halves into an episode each, its an original so idk what their schedule is planned out
this is teh first time we're actually playing with 5 people soo
also wasnt the whole point supposed to be playing with riche
huh. makeup eh. hmm. also the joke about pai/hai=tiles. caught me by surprise thats for sure...
also yeah since the bird isnt here to help nashiko this time.
its also not an automatic table. though an automatic table doesnt actually automate the scores either.
so nashiko and the girls are gonna have to do both the tiles manually and the scoring. just like the traditional way
conveniently so they can skip the hard work (lol) everyone gets to stay in the positions.
it feels as though, like we're on ep 6 already so its a bit late to say, but i feel like the mahjong and tiles are animated completely differently/separately, there seems to be a distinct difference
yeah i dunno about the girls but. for me i used to have the same problem where im already tired by the time i start playing mahjjong, which is one of the reasons why i stopped because it just felt sad. and this is just the start, imagine playing 4 or 6 hours, you would be so tired by the end
was a bit worried something would happen but turns out it was just a joke
meanwhile now emi is trying to bring out the whatever you call this, idk if i would even call it an energy drink
this is kinda awkward. i mean
hell now that its gotten to this i really think they should have split it up
also izumi didnt have to drink the whole thing
honestly this whole thing is awkward now, we have riche straight up asleep, emi somehow still has energy but pai and nashiko are clearly about to knock out. and then poor izumi
like really things have gotten so out of hand im surprised nothing has gone wrong. emi should probably have thrown in the towel at this point and just gave up
also i forgor, but the ryokan just conveniently had a table for them to play? i guess its not too much of a stretch
so yeah basically at this point its not even mahjong anymore, they're like slowly losing their grip. pai just knocked out
but even emi is starting to lose her grip
omg you have to be kidding me
NASHIKO GOT A SUANKO WITH A RYUISOU.
I mean the line is in the OP but oh my gawd
and as an added bonus she had a riichi. was it ippatsu tsumo too?
also im surprised that a beginner like her can do a fancy tsumo like that
also none of them realized the dora indicator wasnt flipped. shrug
emi not going to sleep?
funny thing is even with the energy drink izumi still crashed
Well that was a weird episode.
Like, despite half the episode being mahjong it felt basically empty, because it wasnt really mahjong(?), pai fell asleep and both nashiko and izumi were clearly nodding off. Even emi.
Like, it felt, both in universe and outside of it, a bit forced, like they were doing it for obligatory
Looks like next ep is gonna be the beach episode i guess.
Someone tell Haneru that you can always play Mahjong later, just enjoy that trip girl, what is the point playing it when everyone is tired. Though it gave us some funny moments.
Wish they spend a bit more time on the locations they visited but it was still a good episode.
Quite relaxing, even though I don't understand anything about mahjong.
It seems that they will leave the fanservice for the next episode; Therefore, before it happens I will just say:
Nashiko>>>Riche>>>>Pai>>>>>>>Izumi>>>>Emi
These girls only be dreaming about mahjong lol. The training camp felt more like an outdoor training camp rather than a mahjong one. They did play the game at the end but were too tired by then. Haneru's crazy about mahjong. I thought Riche was the one who's gonna be like that but surprisingly she's way more reasonable than them all.
I know we already knew Haneru was a little socially awkward, but this episode kinda sold it even more. Like, it was overshadowed just a bit last episode because Nashiko did some weird stuff too, but in the end Haneru did look up Riche (which isn't bad in itself) but then found out a place where she could have possibly been. At first I was like, "Okay, anime logic I guess" though they DID make a bit of a big deal out of her doing that. Except, they accepted her pretty easily. This episode though... bruh everyone was tired. Folks were on their futons saying they were spent/DONE. Everyone very clearly wanted to go to sleep/get ready for bed. Izumi physically got up to try to do that and Haneru still didn't care. So instead of calling it a night and maybe just playing when they woke up, she just pressured them to keep playing. Even when she noticed everyone was really tired, she still pressed on and even gave someone an energy drink. She even tried to wake up someone who was already sleeping just so they could play with her. I'll be honest, I'd be really wary about this girl if I met her in real life. She's very much about what she wants to do. Yes, she did what they wanted to do as well, but it's weird that she does that almost for the sake of being able to do what she wants to do. She's able to say no. At the same time, yes, the girls could have said a more clear no as well, but it's pretty clear she knows they wanted to rest. She just didn't care. It's kinda weird. It's a "training camp", but read the mood. If it were an actual training camp, you'd know gaining skills effectively would work best when folks weren't tired af. I'm not saying I don't like Haneru, just that her social skills can use some work.
The training camp between the girls, Haneru is just looking forward to play more mahjong, though everything else other than that...must be openly communicated. And their first task, to take a walk around Onomichi to burn off their previous BBQ dinner, where Nashiko brought them around for an excursion, though Haneru is not quite the exercising girl she is, and Riche just wanting to see the good sights. And the walk back to their lodging has all the girls finally able to rest...and like Haneru, play mahjong.
The training part finally starts...though Haneru wants to get going fast. From the seat arrangement to the actual play, Riche is the first to fall asleep, while Nashiko follows thereafter and the rest as well. Haneru checking Nashiko, Pai and Izumi, it soon becomes a fight to sleepiness, and that is honestly the hilarious part of the episode, falling one by one. Even Haneru's hopeful dream hand, she has no way of winning...
Oh well...learn to let go of the fanatic mindset, Haneru.
Haneru so cute.. poor girl suffering through the climb and then took out her frustrations by forcing the rest of them to play through the night.. and poor Izumi with that energy drink
I really got a laugh at their mahjong match when most of them are tired and sleepy and doing their best to play, especially the part when Izumi is forced to drink the energy
drink and got a wide eyed expression.
An enjoyable and chill episode as the girls are having fun in their training camp.
Nice continuation of vacation for them doing activities to end up playing mahjong at the inn, but sure you shouldn't play when you're tired and keep going the whole night ahaha, Riche was right and she could even take a bath in the end
