The match felt kinda fast but I still enjoyed it on most parts. Hisa pulled out some nice moves. The funny part of the episode was probably the 'you talk too much'. That was priceless. Next match is going to begin with that ending I'm looking forward to it.

Let's see who will impress us the most: http://imgur.com/mcOPTRV

Debut of the loudmouth trap master.

And Haruru of course.

I love how they represented Hisa's nerves and their impact on her before the game. During the game, of course, Hisa gets beaten down hard, from first to last, even after getting a baiman in her usual style, as Hiroe takes advantage of her nervous weakness.

Oh how I love those exaggerated flying tile tsumos.

Hisa finally got a decent hand and got lucky with the doras, but too bad her streak was ended quickly with a cheap hand.

Seems Hisa was expecting more then she was actually playing against making her to nervous for most of the game.
Still the second half should be interesting if she says focussed.
Question is how will the other two matches go especially the last one that one of the contestants already seems to fear.

Hopefully Hisa pulls through and manages to go back to 1st place or at least 2nd.

I love when the music starts playing and our girls go in. A shame Hisa's momentum was short-lived, but it was a fun episode. Can't wait for next week.

Hisa had a literal heroic BSOD there for a second (literal as in the screen literally went blue :P). This coming from the girl who knocked out two opponents just the match before. She'll pull through though I'm sure.

That was kind of hard watching her get beat down like that but hey she's Hisa, she'll recover :p

Kei Arakawa appears! We also got a voice for Rise Fujiwara, and that's Chiemi Chiba!

What a glorious episode of Hisa.

That was a pretty sudden slump and recovery from Hisa.

A good show, as always.

Dangit, 13 episodes is not enough for this saki series! I want more!

Anyways great episode! of course the 4 and 5th match will be more intense and exciting, and at the same time i don't want it to end.

That flying tile. I actually want to try mahjong, and I want to do some crazy tricks like that too. I'll be the most badass beginner ever if I don't actually kill people.

Anyway, it was a bit hard to watch her get beat down like that. At least she got a hold of herself and started having fun. I'm really looking forward to next week, or the week after if it's delayed (hope not)

Next episode is going to be better since Hisa is going to playfor real. I enjoyed this one but why do I feel like the pace is slow? I don't know.

Oh Hisa, I love you.

And your suave mahjong moves.

Saki's over dramatic actions and sound effects are one of the top reasons I adore it so much <3

Hisa is building up her own Harem in this season. Damn it I would have never thought of that.

I loved that part! I started cheering.

This was a great episode. I literally started tearing up when Hisa first walked into the room and the floor started going away. I have anxiety and they portrayed that part well. It was sad but nice seeing a different side of Hisa. I thought she was untouchable. I'm glad she made a bit of a comeback though after falling to 4th place. Cannot wait for the next episode.

Hisa's comeback move was easily one of the coolest ones so far, I love these exaggerations, they make the games so much fun.

Hiroe and Haruru are nice, this match has quality characters.

There isn't much to say about this episode with how slow the pace actually is, but it just occurred to me that playing a four-round match on a National would be incredibly taxing, even with a break after the South round.
