| I love the second ED more than the first ED, personally. Then again, I'm a sucker for more serious themes. Yay, finally we get to see the history between Hisa and Mihoko; I really hope they go into depth instead of wasting the potential it could have. Most importantly, we (finally) see how good the President really is. I really wish there was more detail on Mako's match, though; it seems like wasted potential really. However, her playstyle is quite nifty albeit being strange. XD at the newcomer's victory, but oh well, that happens sometimes, in just about every game. Aww at Koromo, but I'm personally more interested in seeing what makes everyone view her as a demon at Mahjong. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| Decent episode but ya wtf a newcomer's victory indeed XD o wells im looking forward to next week's game |
| beginner's luck xD haha~ seems like this series only have 25 episodes |
     |
| Takei, Hisa Yup it's a beginner luck. Takei Hisa, we don't know anything about her past so this episode gave us a bit past records about her, that must be Hisa Ueno, come on she looks exacly like her. It must happend something in her past that's why she changes her name till Takei Hisa. Probably her family remarried or something that's changed her last name. Hisa Ueno was her real name. Warning Manga Spoiler - Read this in your own risks since the anime is 100% based from Manga |

| I was shocked when I heard the beginner's voice. If I'm not mistaken, She's voiced by Ryoko Shinitani? Hmm. I was really disappointed that we didn't see Mako play. her fighting style is really cool. Anyways, no wonder in the op we see Mihoko and Hisa in the same scene. xD hoping for the next episode. |

| nodoka and saki... lmao! that was a pretty funny scene; and now the captain takes to the field! according to that one eyed girl she's really dangerous! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Bed scene indeed. I thought there'd be only one futon the way the scene was going. And then when Yuuki called Kyoutaro a dog, I rolled my eyes. Can't there but more original insults for Kugimiya Rie to say? |
| So thats the reason why Hisa didn't want Saki and Nodoka to see her playing since last time. Can't wait to see what kind of dangerous skill she is going to unleash. And why the heck do they have to take their skirt off just to take a nap? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I don't think that is the reason, yup the manga have the same dialogue in anime. Probably more comfort that way, I don't really know since I'm not a girl. They can't changed the anime so followe exacly in the anime. Well she is incredible good. |

| This phase : Don't you think the records of the third and fifth players were odd? Read this clearly then you will know this two players is strong. Takei Hisa is 3th players Miyanaga Saki is 5th players |

HoaRy said: ironchefflip said: And then when Yuuki called Kyoutaro a dog, I rolled my eyes. Can't there but more original insults for Kugimiya Rie to say? You're right BUT the dialogue was the exact same in the manga already, so it's more coincidence. (Unless they chose the Seiyuu because Yuuki treats Kyou-chan like a dog.) Gonzo's faith into the orignial work is so high, even short words they yell (which come without a speech bubble) are transfered into the anime adaption. Ah, ok. Thanks for the background info. Yeah, I haven't read the manga so I didn't know they were just being true to form. Quite the coinidence. |
Blackbird said: This phase : Don't you think the records of the third and fifth players were odd? Read this clearly then you will know this two players is strong. Takei Hisa is 3th players Miyanaga Saki is 5th players All the parts of this episode that reference to Hisa really get me excited to see how good she really is. We already know that Saki and Nodoka are great but how about the president? Heck, even Mihoko admitted that Hisa gave her trouble when they played before. To give someone that good a run for their money.... Sorry if I sound like I'm overhyping things, but unless Hajime is a big step up from Tomoki, I think Hisa's going to blow them all away. (I haven't read the manga btw). |
| Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
greenmush said: if a beginner wins it must really be luck lols ehh how do they decide when to play the second ending Not really; beginner players are often experimenting and therefore are often difficult to predict. Since Mako's playstyle was based around recalling patterns she had seen previously, it was a bad matchup for her. I wish they'd play that ending more consistently now; I like it a lot more than the 1st ED (but I'm definitely going to miss the ~WAI WAIs >.<) |
| Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww |
| Amae Koromo have also a cute side that we already know, well only for those people that are reading the manga. Too bad I already know Hisa as a strong player. I doubt everyone have read the manga since I am reading the manga on raws. :) |

| Wow, this may get interesting, the team captain actually having some kind of hidden 'identity'. Anyways, it was quite obvious she's a pretty good player from the start. Wonder what'll happen next. And yay for 25 eps! |
| needs moar Koromo. |
Motoyama said: needs moar Koromo. I haven't read the manga, but I'm sure you're gonna get plenty of. :) Nice episode, some mahjong again, some unavoidable Saki+Nodoka, we finally get to see Koromo... A lot of stuff, somehow different from the other episodes. Good buildup for the president's character, I liked it. Waiting fo the next ep. |
| I can always wonder if Nodoka is human, play with no time. My brain is ordinare, well not exacly special. But Nodoka she playing Mahjong like an AI bot. Someone want to agreed with me this anime is more enjoyable then manga? Good think it is 100% based from the manga that's why it's make the anime good. Desiro the manga is raws doubt you read it if you can't read Japanese of course. I can't wait for episodes 11 even thought I already know what's going on but like I said before anime is more enjoyable. :) Sorry my english is quite off sometimes. |

| yay finally we're at Hisa's match. This is one of the matches i've been dying to see since the start of the show. |
 |
| I have been waiting for Hisa match for a while now, about 3 days left to sunday then it will be released another episode, can't wait to see it :( |

| Pff yodlormak already have seen her playing in the manga but think it would be more enjoyable to watch her game in anime. :) |

daniel_w said: President says that she analyses possible moves by all players and her reply during their turns. I can't see why is that so strange. Don't you ever plan your moves a few steps ahead when playing cards or some other games? She probably meant that Nodoka does it better than average. Way better... :P |
| new ED is better than the last one they changed it to, but this one is too plain. feels like a generic anime ending. looks like they still want to show off nodoka and her enormous... well, you know... in a frilly outfit. i still like the original ED more. about the episode: i was wondering why kunihiro had chains on her, figured it was just for looks. i like her character. and yay we get to see Hisa play next episode. |
| I WANT MY WAI WAI! Also, moe shrinking petting happiness, and everyones superpowers seem to be coming around >_> |

Nyanta said: I WANT MY WAI WAI! Also, moe shrinking petting happiness, and everyones superpowers seem to be coming around >_> XD. I like both the ED songs. I thought that blonde beginner was really cute, I hope she shows up again. |
| Aw, Koromo is so cute, and I loved how she is blushing. I am more interested in why that people view her as a demon in mahjong. Nodoka and Saki sleep each other in a bed scene is my favorite scene so far. Lol at beginner's luck. xD I am looking forward to Hisa's match. |
| Nodoka and Saki blissfully asleep, but Koromo is so cute ><! Although an early confrontation is about to take place :3, seems the president is more formidable than what we first saw. |
| Pretty nice episode, I do hope the penguin will be alright! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Yuri everywhere ~ !! "Power" beneath those eye-glasses !! Recall of the past encounters !! A Total Novice with the beginner's luck , runs the table with concealed tricks !! The Imminence of destruction is about to happen as the typhoon departs at the center stage !! .. though ,now is certainly not the right time to wreck havoc but enjoy the cutesy of hers ~ !! Kaicho sure does knows how to 'camouflage' her talents in these past years .. It's gripping !! EDs keeps changing .. but still fine to glee with ~ !! |

| Hisa throwing that tile was badass. I need to do that when I self-draw XD. I thought Amae Koromo was going to be a giant bitch, turns out she's cute. Shipping Hisa x Mihoko so far right now. Much to my disbelief, I'm not ecstatic over Saki x Nodoka; I felt like it came out of the blue and much too fast. |
 |
| Best episode so far! And look at all of that delicious yuri! |
| The good Ending again.. Oh yeah, the Megane match rather disappointed me, but it seems like the President will finally deliver. I'm really interested in the next episode. |
  |
| President is up. Let's see how she does this round. |
| Yuuki calling Kyoutaro a dog Zero no Tsukaima PTSD That begginers luck too OP lol. Bed scene! sweating that together with the 2nd ED is too much yuri for my heart. Koromo is so cute! |
 |
Finally they are in bed together. <3 |
