yes, that was hirarious. And they actually managed to do it twice...
But I have to say that this show is really good. It's surprisingly epic for a show about a game I have no understanding of whatsoever. Also, the OP is pretty good and the ED is ridiculously cute.

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.

yeah I lol at all that too, although I don't understand the game fully yet, it seemed to me she called kong prematurely

but I liked the episode I may actually like this series the most so far

Lol, this show really does for an h-game.
I see, soon, a lot of Mahjong games named after it.

I'm finally understanding Mahjong, and some japanese rules.
Even the raw become easier to understand after studying a little about this game.
But this show keeps dragging you into ecchiness.
I can't say i dislike fanservice, but that's a little...
Well, that's ok for me, but i think a lot of Mahjong players won't like it.

Anyway, i'll keep watching it to see where this show goes.
I expect a lot more Mahjong, this game is awesome
*and a little more ecchi - wait, what am i thinking??*

I'd like to remind you that this show was made by Gonzo.
The same Gonzo who made Strike Witches, and the same Gonzo who was thinking about making Hentai anime (aka porn) to get more profit.

In a way, watching this feels even more stupid than watching Boob's Queen's Blade. It's sorta like.. Digimon, Pokemon, Beyblade and the likes, just with Mahjong and with tits. I bet in the next episode we find out that she's totally not able to win without fake scores made up in the beginning.

Gonzo have outdid themselves in terms of boob jiggling -.-'' Hey, not that I'm complaining...I'd probably give this anime a decent score if they put in some yuri between Nodoka and Saki since the hints are flying everywhere.

Is it just me or did Nodoka's tits gradually grow over the course of the episode? Ah well whatever, it is Gonzo after all. This show is, well in short it's something else. If anything, I'll stick with this just to see how ridiculous it gets. As Mire said, in a way this is almost worse than QB.

In the meanwhile, I'm going to go attempt to learn how to actually play mahjong. I've wrapped my mind around a bit of it, but I still have a lot of memorization to do. Wish me luck, hah.

oh come on, don't be so disappointed with the censorship. it isn't like when you need your fill of T&A you don't know where to look :P

well it was fun to watch. story isn't all that bad either. i guess i can get over the fact that this is a show about a board game.

More like I'm disappointed they spent 5 minutes in the bath showing us fog when the mahjong scenes could have been substantially longer.

Epic WIn !!
Every time she wins it makes me smile. I don't really know why. But the thing that makes me uncomfortable is the BIG BOOBS. Why does she have to have the super huge boobs. And is it just me or the angle thing was a little yuri??

But, half the time I'm not understanding anything... xD Kinda want's to make me play mahjong. :D

O well, I hope that the next episode she wins with Minus Plus Zero. xD And why don't we in America have the electric tables. They look cool.

Obligatory shower scene + Expanding boobs + Nice non-service + The RORD of the Rings

...and actually making them entertaining. Gonzo is planning to hit the jackpot with the DVD releases. Another episode I liked since I'm in the mood for more ecchi. I really did like this episode. Also, click the spoiler for deliciousness.

Meh, a dull episode as expected.

Also, for you guys who don't know the mahjong rules: You're not really missing out. Saki is basically defying logic by constantly drawing low-probability tiles with her godlike luck. Yup, barely any strategy at all, so thanks goodness we at least got some flashy moves.

i decided to give this series another chance after that horrid first episode but well now i'm dropping this. Interesting idea for a plot though no matter how hard they try to make it epic and entertaining it's just boring and plain stupid, bad art, bad characters, bad character designs, annoying VA's for the females (why oh why must fukuyama jun voice the only male -_-) pretty much i can tell this series is gonna have the same crappy material almost every episode and it's just not going to be good. 2nd series i dropped this season, 2nd series by Gonzo i've dropped this season. I think it explains itself. Hope i won't have to drop shangri-la though so far it's easily one of the worst this season.
