STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Not kawaii enough for me. |
| so the 4 Quintuplets who didn't get the ring dyed their hair and started playing Mahjong? ah interesting... |
   |
| The art is below average, also it needs some superpowers to spice up things. |
 |
| Man, seeing OLM taking up so many of these projects when they were basically just "The Pokemon guys" to me for a long while is so surreal. Looks kinda generic, besides that. |
| I still don't know how to play mahjong, but I will watch it any since it takes place in Onomichi City which looks really nice in real life. |
 |
| All newfound Qingque mains rejoice I guess |

| Doesn't look good. Skip. |
CocoaGalaxy said: This is far from the first time, but yes, I am also disappointed that the original anime lately is increasingly looking like an adaptation of some kind of generic non-existent manga or LN.Wait this is an ORIGINAL? Huh, anything can happen then. Although to be honest by the time it airs I'm not sure. It's intriguing but there's really no way to tell. |
 |
| Very welcome news, I would fancy Saki getting s3 more but i'll take it nevertheless since it's been too long when we got a mahjong anime (Jantama Pong doesn't count cuz it was short-length). |
| Very cute promo image, hopefully the show turns out to be fun! |
 |
| This one looks cute. |
