| Great episode! Saki pwning with another (insanely unlikely) awesome hand, and thus winning the tournament, as well as Koromo realizing she actually has friends. More Kana, as well as underlying hints of Momoko x Yumi yuri also made it win. |
HoaRy said: Hell yeah, that was indeed epic. First Koromo's power cut and Haitei then Saki's counter-attack, using the tournament-specific rules to get a Yakuman to cut down the 63500 points. They more than caught up with the manga now, so we have 5 episodes left for fanservice and Yuri? Next ep is a pool one already. This episode didn't really feel ... epic to me ... but the episode wasn't so bad overall and I have a question for manga readers, do they actually go into the nationals? or is the manga still going into that? |
| This episode was the greatest they could end this anime right now and it still want to give me +10. What's really going on here? I wonder how much they going to spoiler now. lol |

| wow a tear fell down my cheek when she was doing the counted byakuman....i cant imagine this anime in 25 eps, at least is going to have a 2nd season, rigth?, please... pool episode yeah! |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Yeah we all hoping for 2nd season, we want the national be long and good too so yeah of course there will. :) My thought here in those few 6 episodes here, she probably meet her sister before the national tournament and play a practice match with Saki and others. The booked a hotel in Tokyo where the national is going to be I think. LoL I don't believe the national tournament will begin in those episodes there, a national tournament can't end in 6 episodes lol, that would be so bad if it does. We need a season 2 for National Tournament. Can we not getting a past story about Miyanaga Teru? About her high school life etcs. |

| Koromo: "Koromo.. might be born anew" aww, loved this episode is much. So damn epic..although the power outage thing was a bit over the top. Also, Saki and Nodoka asleep on the train holding hands was cute. When they ran towards each other at the end of the match and embraced, I almost thought they would kiss. haha PS: I agree, Saki needs a season 2 for nationals! |
   My most recent life lesson: you know you're sleep deprived once you start daydreaming of dinosaurs..with whips. |
neverless said: and I have a question for manga readers, do they actually go into the nationals? or is the manga still going into that? Actually as of this episode, the anime is completely caught up to the manga. I haven't read the latest chapter (chapter 52) but the part where Saki starts talking about mahjong being fun was the end of ch.51. So from now on, everything could be either anime original material or some stuff that gonzo has worked in collaboration with the author or both, since the manga us released twice a month and they are only 20 page chapters. |
 |
| yay! pool episode next! |
 |
| Weird it didn't come up any previews so how are you think I will know that. xD |

| Holy shizilnits, they won in the most awesomest way possible. "Everybody loses and epically fails at the final hand!" Talk about getting owned in the face or something. Then again none of them were really mopey. So it'd be more like Defeat Means Friendship. |

| Nooooooo. Pool episode. ;_; At least I get to see Hisa in a swimsuit. :V In any case, this was a kinda cool episode. This episode made me feel nice inside. I liked how Nodoka's friends were all like "Saki is whack". Teru has red hair right? Can't wait to see her too (for this reason)! |
| IaMP with me. |
| im thinking there might be an S2. the music on this episode was kind of over dramatized. i hope we get to see more. |
| Wow that was really nice. Koromo is too adorable :) she finally feels happy now eh: ) |
| じーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーっ |
| What is this... I don't even... |
| the tournament finally ended xD looking forward to the national tournament ... if they even will show it o_o |
     |
katreus said: Pool episode then the rest will deal with the individual tournament. Ah yeah that could be right XD. I would so see Kyoutarou part in the individual tournament, a 4 episode special on him xD. Nah really to get serious this episode was win but didn't have a good impact on me because the video I took to watch it sucked, at some point the sound was off and everything but being halfway I didn't stop watching it =/. |
 |
| I don't remember when I enjoyed watching a single episode this much ! It was just so awesome with Saki playing and Koromo realising that she's friends. I just freakin' luv this serie ! Is there any information 'bout a next season ? Since the anime has caught up with manga, the nationals won't come during the last six episodes :3 |
     |
| The match ended...and it ended great. I thought the cameras breaking and the lights going out was a little ridiculous but oh well. I'm interested in seeing what they are going to do till nationals. |
GodOfSpeed said: That's true.Great episode, Saki pwns all with epic mega pwnage mahjong tiles Also The Ending Song is really good XD |
 |
| This may be a very n00bish question, but can someone elaborate the final scores? I don't understand how Saki won all of a sudden. D: |
 |
| If Teru wouldn't be there the title shouldn't said Sisters and you didn't see her clearly if it was her in the end of the previews. |

| This is truly an amazing episode! It's so amazing that I was shouting during the most epic scenes, laughing due to how great this episode was and crying tears of joy! It was heart-warming in some ways in relation to the characters! The music has captured me very much! Sadly I have to wait for October for the OST album to get released. T_T Pool episode next episode so there's no beach episode? Or maybe after the characters' individual tournament finishes, then they'll get to bond at the beach with each other? Anyways, I am truly glad that I followed Saki! I might not understand how everything in that game goes, but the presentation of the show itself is very much appealing for me. And just as I've thought that Kazekoshi's coach won't hit neko Kana at all. Haha! She's so predictable. XD I'm even looking forward for the few remaining episodes whether filler or not! Geez! It truly is nice enjoying a show like this! I couldn't ask for more... 10/10 |
| this coudl be a perfect way to end the first season imo. but of course i am also looking forward for more saki. wonder how they will end it now. |
     |
| This was amazing. The tension building up in the last hand, the epic music and the resolution. Also, Touka is such a good cousin ;_; And Yumi wins the Emiya Shirou award with "As long as I keep winning, I won't lose." |
| Amazing episode and an awesome end to the tournament! I hope there'll be a season 2. Can't wait to see what lies ahead! |
| Seriously, this anime needs a mahjong teaching section at the end like Hikaru had Yukari sensei teaching go. However, even though I still don't understand what's going on, I still like it. Can someone please tell me if there's anything significant about Yumi's (of Tsuruga) hand before she folded it down? Was she on the way to winning like she planned to do as east? I couldn't tell if she had a good hand or not. How nice that Koromo has friends; what girl wouldn't want to be friends with a cute little blonde girl they can pet? This yuri anime reminds me of a shonen with the filler that's gonna complete the season. Not that i mind Saki filler, especially given the first instance is a pool episode. |
| so they finally win.. but 6 episodes left eh? wonder wat's left to show XD |
| LOL @ Kana that she wants to have a miracle to happen thirty times in a row to win the game. jsrr said: ironchefflip said: Can someone please tell me if there's anything significant about Yumi's (of Tsuruga) hand before she folded it down? Was she on the way to winning like she planned to do as east? I couldn't tell if she had a good hand or not. She was 2 tiles from a yakuman hand called Thirteen Orphans. Thanks for that. I thought she was already have the Thirteen Orphans. Well I don't play mahjong so I can't really read tile that good. |

Thanks for answering my question, and for the link |
| I went back to look again in the anime in episode 3 and saw this. Now we now which school Teru is on. Yeah I know I'm too late but that how I am. Not looking carefully of anything. Teru Miyanaga The President of the famous Shiraitodai High School for the spring qualifiers. Aims for her third championship in a row at this year's summer tournament. She showed us some frightfully high scoring hands at the spring qualifiers. " This Summer, I'm aiming for the championship" |

| Saki owns everyone xD Decent episode |
 |
tehnominator said: LOL that is weird.I think I got a nosebleed during Saki's winning play. It was too... epic. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Fanservice then individual tournament sounds about right. Then again the very last episode may be another "training camp" episode, for nationals. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| Finally !! Saki won :D |
 |
| so that hand was worth how many han? chinitsu - 6 toitoi- 2 rinshan kaihou - 1 sanankou - 2 sankantsu - 2 red dora - 1? no double yakuman? what does kazoe yakuman mean anyway? |
SyllenAug 11, 2009 7:36 PM
| You are watching that subbed, well that's more quality one there you are watching for more experiences in japanese. I hope you know what yakuman is kazoe is counted. No double yakuman in the team rules. Episode 20 when they going to bath in pools and Saki meets her sisters. It said everything in the titles and in the end of previews you see a bit of her. |
