| looking forward to the incoming match xD |
     |
| Okay that's a bit rude there, she actually forgot about her match with Mihoko Fukuji in Middle school. We don't know anything about her past, probably she caugh amnesia or something. But for Mihoko that was a very important game. Hmm.. I belief she was smarter then that. Haha  Oh well next episodes is Nodoka match :) |

| I have read the manga and alreadyl knew that Nodoka match will not start after this episodem, the storyline is slowly progness and about Nodoka match. The manga isn't even done yet so wonder how long this can be progness. :P |

NeloDeath said: WTF... there is Mahjong in my Yuri!!! haha it was an alright episode..i thought this was gonna be like a 13 ep series..but it's got 25/26 (ann says 26). i wonder how it's gonna turn out..i felt like they'd run out of material after this tournament ha |
| This episode was an alrighty!!! LOL! Saki seems to be getting interesting every episode. By that, I just don't mean the tournament but also the yuri hints around this show. XD I have only read the manga up to chapter 18 and can't get a hold of it. (If only I can read Japanese...) Oh... and I want my Hisa x Mihoko thank you... ^_^ I also wanna learn more about Hisa's past. |
| nice episode, i thought the she was going to loose the game after the captain told bochan or whatever her name is some advice, koromo is cute. ^^ now wondering how nodoka will do. |
 |
| i wished president would play a little longer, oh well. i just love seeing her plays, wait for bad tiles or call a empty ricchi, pretty awesome. yeah lets see how nodoka will play. |
     |
| Seeing Saki playing plus-minus zero was awesome but after seeing Hisa playing her bad hobby style and calling a empty ricchi in a bad situation to scare the hell out of everyone to keeps herself from losing point was just beyond awesome in my book. Oh, I LOLed a little when those people went "ooooooooooh!" What a best place to put the camera in a loli battle. |

| you can tell they are stretching it to fit the 25 episodes. if you have to give details about a character might as well go all the way. so far everything is ok, but i hope next week will be more exciting. |

Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| Heh, I enjoyed this episode. Hisa is awesome :D I didn't think that I'd enjoy this show as much as I do now when I started it. It's so addicting :3 |
Charliehsv said: Heh, I enjoyed this episode. Hisa is awesome :D I didn't think that I'd enjoy this show as much as I do now when I started it. It's so addicting :3 I totally agree; I forgot why I even started watching this show but that's irrelevant. What matters is that I'm enjoying it more than most other shows that I thought I'd enjoy more this season <looks at Asura Cryin', 07-Ghost and Hatsukoi Limited> |
| Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| <3 Heterochromia |
| I don't know why I like this anime so much. I know nothing about mahjong and i'm generally not a huge fan of yuri, but I just can't stop watching this anime. And i really thought nodoka would do something inappropriate with the banana and milk, but then i remembered this is a yuri cartoon. |

| wow..thanks for the explaination...(_ _) koromo is very cute!! waiting for her appearance next week...hehehe... |

Blackbird said: Are we watching Yuri or Mahjong? Yurjong. |
 |
| Well, I shouldn't ask anything. I put Saki on my favorite lists and have been really good in Mahjong, well not as skills as Saki. Her inhuman luck is way impossible to reach. Koromo is cute in the outside but the inside she is evil, well mosly likely when she played Mahjong. |

Well don't let it bother you. It is just a fiction. Just because you can use Katana, it doesn't mean you have to go for Bankai, right? What I mean is enjoy what you are doing and keep improve it. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Yeah it was only a joke there, I know it's just a fiction. Haha I love your comments. Well yeah I try to enjoy the game. :) Siva said: Blackbird said: Well, I shouldn't ask anything.

| saki running frantically was cute |
| I enjoyed this episode actually. Even though the focus really wasn't on the game, the yuri that was there was, for the most part, not typical of the show, as in, there was actual character in the relationships. Also, Saki being a gymnast to cheer for Nodoka amused me. |

| This episode is pretty good, and I enjoyed it all. I can’t wait to watch next episode for Nodoka’s match. Oh, I loved few yuri scenes (first few minutes) so much. Koromo is very cute as always. |

katreus said: Wrote this as a comment elsewhere but it was a pretty fun exercise to try and figure out what exactly was happening in the "empty riichi" round: The caveat is that I'm just starting to learn mahjong. It was an “empty” riichi because Hisa’s hand was waiting on a 4 manzi (the ones with characters on them) but there are already 3 4 manzi discarded. Since there’s only 4 of each tile, this means it is impossible for her to win (”even bad waits have their limits!”). However, in doing so, Hisa kept a pon of 7 sou (the bamboos) that Hajime needed to fulfill her win condition AND she scared off the Tsuruga girl from discarding the 7 sou, leading the Tsuruga girl to bail on her hand. Hisa totally mindf***ed her opponents by intimidating Tsuruga into keeping the 7 sou and discarding a 6 pin (the circles) instead. 6 pin is a “safe” tile because Hajime had just discarded it (can’t win on a tile in your discard pile) and I guess Tsuruga figured that with a 9 pin and 8 pin discarded by Hisa that pins were safe. If Hisa were playing to try to win as opposed to trying to block someone else, she would have discarded the 7 sou and waited for a 3 manzi or 6 manzi and lost to Hajime. Given that if Hajime had gotten the 7 sou, as sitting east, looks like a 40 fu, 5 han hand, which is a mangan or 12,000 points for her. Ouch! That would have put Ryuumonbuchi squarely in the lead. Note though this is before the reverse dora calculation. If Hajime had won and gotten a reverse dora, the points would be even higher. I see... So that explains why... Actually I had no clue about why it was called an empty riichi. (has not much knowledge on Mahjong) Thank you for the info katreus! The President really is amazing with all her skills and intellect. tehnominator said: Motoyama said: <3 Heterochromia Her plus the President would make this series about five times more awesome. Or at least it would get rid of all that blushing tension these girls seem to have. KYAAAAA!!! Agreed!!! *nod* *nod* Of course Mihoko x Hisa is one of the reasons I'm watching Saki. There are lots of reasons though. It's just that I simply enjoyed the whole thing. TechDragon said: Siva said: Gonzo is known for this...Nyanta said: datsunvic said: Quote Gonzo Staff - "Upskirt is always good camera placement" Seems to work for them! And for us, I guess. lol! Well, I got used to that already since Strike Witches. But no... Even before Strike Witches. I'm just easily used to stuff I guess... |
| i'm definitely getting a weird feeling from some of these characters.... |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Awww Koromo couldn't make friends with Haruka =/ she looks so crestfallen ><, but now it's Haruka's match =] go go! ^^ |
| A great the penguin is alright! That butler though! Pretty decent development with some interesting backstory about that girl with the bunny ears! |
 |
| The Fate of the intertwined eyes ~ !! Etopen repaired !! .. "simply stupendous." !! First meeting with the indestructible machine !! Noteworthy performance by the players on the match .. especially kiyosumi ~ !! The blushes .. .. makes them so cute !! 'Yuri' is getting bigger !! "Finals" is about to begin !! Saki was 'dashing' ~ !! Win !! |

| Another great episode! Though i almost cried at the girl who was about to ask Nonaka to be her friend :( |
| Good episode although less intense. The next one is bound to be good as well. |
  |
| That Butler is amazing. He can do anything. |
| That butler with the godlike mechanics! Really hyped for Nodoka's fight, let's see how it goes. |
 |
| They're all just so cute |
