Is this anything special?
Well... Not really, It actually doesn't have much to talk about, since it feels like every other basic CGDCT anime for the most part. BUT, it has Mahjong, and it is the only thing stopping this show from being entirely obscure.
That being said, I think the producers kinda expect people who already go to watch this to have knowledge on the mahjong, since not a lot of it is really explained, so you the viewer will be somewhat confused on what anything means, or at least if you are like me (a poor visual learner, who cannot decipher basic mahjong tactics with the tiles).
All that out of the way, mahjong really is the only defining point of this anime, I personally cannot sense anything special for the characters here since they are very forgettable.
Other than that, I have found problems with this anime's art, that being the side shots of characters sometimes look very mediocre and makes a very obvious quality changes within scenes, which is very noticeable if you pay any attention to the screen.
Other then the fact it has mahjong, I really do not see anything different from any other typical basic CGDCT, like having chats while eating, etc. But it's still early and I cannot fully judge a show on it's first three episodes entirely, but it really doesn't give off the vibe of being a surprise 10/10 sleeper anime this season, so this in no way will be the next anime that can compete with K-On for being an amazing CGDCT.
Probably would recommend it though if you like slow CGDCT and have a basic understanding of Mahjong.
To anyone else though, its kinda generic and bland to some degree and probably will not be too intriguing, unless you like generic CGDCT animes or wanna be shown mahjong every few episodes.
