Whoa, I wasn't expecting a poker theme game this episode. Most times in this series, I'm more used to the battles out on the field.

The game was okay I guess. The OST kinda fits the suspense. Oh shit, dat spoons. That wasn't what I was expecting.

Well the poker card game was interesting, never expected Uzume's mom to be pro at this. The chairman takes some action in the card game but lost to both Uzume and her mom, kind of surprising.

Uzume's mom/Director... XD
Well, all's well ends well.
Also... Komachi is returning Madeleine instead of Director? o.O

Never expected Uzume's mom would play such a (pleasantly) major role !! LOL

And for the chairman, it is just obvious how she would be if we just go through the list of characters in the series by elimination....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Komachi's the chairman?

The poker game was cool. I found it interesting how her mom was able to deal the cards right into those card holders lol.

the bad guy just got momed xD

daaaayum that mother sure knows her poker.

Then mom NTRed her daughter out of the card and forced her to play another round of poker. I wish I had mad card skills like that!

Anyone else think it was odd that the mom wasn't even a least bit shocked by the holographic projector in her living room? She even poured the hologram some tea and made cookies.

Technology. I mean, there's dolls and all...
That, or her mom just could care less...
Is the fake's chairman named 'Anna'?
I really liked how her expression when she got beaten up with Uzume's mom... by a straight flush from the start! o.O
Imagine what could Uzume's mom do if she had dolls. ^o^

Well, except her mom never saw the dolls. But this kind of thing happens quite a bit in this series. I think I gave up caring after they went to some spooky abandoned lab and just happened on a teddy boy whose name they somehow learned and a room full of rare cards.

The probability of being dealt a straight flush in five-card draw is about one in a hundred thousand. I'd be pretty gobsmacked too if someone laid that down without a draw, and on their first hand, too. Uzume's quads redraw had a probability of about one in five thousand, I think, though maybe it's a bit better on a redraw. But of course in her case she had extra mojo thanks to her faith in the cards :)

Anyway, I've never really understood who Komachi was in Uzume's life. She's a teacher at the school, isn't she? But she also knew her in elementary school. I'd have to go back to when we were introduced to her but I don't even remember when that was. Everytime she pops up I think, "who's this again?" Can someone set me straight on her? Seeing as she's suddenly important....

Wasn't expecting a poker game.
This anime always moderately surprises me.
It's trying to be at least a little unique.

I was actually fooled there until Anne said that the director was coming over. Then it became obvious again that it was Komachi, before she appeared at the door.

Also, Madeleine was behaving very weird if you ask me, she was way to calm. I thought she would be much more upset but she rather looked like she was in on it.

Definitely my favorite episode of this series.

1. I learned how to play poker (I knew, but forgot several times)
2. I learned why it's called a Poker Face

Wow, if my mom won a card of that importance, I would definitely be like, "Mom, you don't even know how badly I need that card, please give it to me, or I will hate you." xD Jk, but that was a big bet. All of Uzume's bad luck accumulated towards good luck.

Now I really want to play poker, I think I'll look for it in the itunes store so I can play it on my iPod xD Looks like so much fun!

She's always been the Chekhov's Gunman.
Stood out too much to not get any significance.

Komachi is not a teacher, just a senior who has known Uzume for long time and often help with her worries.
Probably like the nice big sister next door for her.

"Mom, you think bearing me turns out to be fortunate or unfortunate for your bet?"

"Hmm... Slightly fortunate, I guess?"

Probably my favorite episode so far. I officially don't like Sasara, she doesn't take anyone's feelings into consideration and just spouts off "bad master" so loosely after everything they've been through. Then they're pretty much given a lead on Madeleine and she's like "aight it's all behind us."

The poker game was interesting, Uzume's mom is really cool. Glad she got more screen time this episode. Komachi being the leader was pretty obvious for a long time but I'm still interested to see what she has to say.

Lol, Uzume's mom is teaching her how to play poker.
To be honest, even though the chairman had good cards, Uzume's mother still pwned her.
But for the mother, dinner > poker.

Oh no, Komachi is the chairman!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

MILF!!!!!

I forgot how to play poker but thanks to Mom, I remembered most of the rules and nobody explained to me about pair, one of a kind, flush so this episode helped me a lot.

Anime industry needs poker anime, seriously!!!

Poke her face.

The poker game was cool with its intense music.

Fantasista Doll Tea Party. I love, that all of Uzume's trap cards are food-related.

The chairman is Komachi, as expected.

Nice poker game.

So, Komachi is the chairman? Pretty unexpected twist again.

Uzume's mom is so beautiful. She's a true milf.
