The parts involving mahjong were quite challenging to watch. Even it provided some basic explanations, it’d be very hard to follow if one knows nothing about mahjong. Viewers would need to be quite familiar with mahjong/gambling-themed anime in order to understand the jokes in ep.1.
The parts without mahjong were incredibly dull. The characters' personalities weren’t distinct: Riche might be the most different one, while the other three girls all seemed to have similar casual, optimistic personality. The way anime described the daily actions of characters were mundane and boring; it was hard to see the intention of the creator - what kind of experience did want to bring to the audience?
The production appeared to be haphazard at every turn. The character designs, especially the apparels, looked so outdated. The background music often overwhelmed the scene, or even overwhelmed dialogues with a loud and distracting volume. The character movements were stiff - even the first few scenes in ep.1 were so poorly animated. And hey, what's going on with Chonbo the bird? It looked as if it was replicated from a kindergarten doodle!
After watching three episodes, I felt it’s a total waste of time to continue watching.
