What an intense match, even with some of the cute flashbacks. Kyouko is like a demon in this tournament ;o

Lol @ drinking before a match. Ah, that's priceless. I found joyful tears ;.;
Toyone was pretty awesome too.

Toyone's skill exhibition.

That flashback scene took about 3 months of manga, and was one of my least favourite parts of the whole series. In anime it's not that much better to be honest, other than the fact that it didn't take anywhere near as long to go back to the match. It's a given, therefore, that this is my least favourite episode of Zenkoku-hen.

Next time... hehehe...

There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I love, love, love Toyone. I haven't read the manga so I sorta hope her team makes it to semi-finals along with kiyosumi. I don't care too much for the mikos or the other team.

Anetai the emotional giant, it was nice to see her like the getting all emotional because she had to go back to her village.
Here eyes where nice to watch as well.

For the match seems Saki will have a hard time next week she might be close to losing this if she doesn't watch out.
Seems she triggered Anetai's play after all.

Aislinn and Toyone were pretty cute this episode in the flashback. Toyone though is dominating the match, can't wait to see the others step up their game.

LOL. Toyone looks somehow overpowered even by Saki standards but I still hope that Kiyosumi and Miyamori will have their way in semis.

Man, it's times like this I wish i never read the manga, oh well, the flashback felt a little slow paced, but it's ok. Looking forward to next week, time for Eisui to shine!

I didn't read the manga so it's probably why I feel this way. But crap .. I just want them to play mahjong and stop showing flash backs all the time.

I also feel like Saki is no longer the main character. Someone please tell me it gets better. XD

Eisui's on the offensive but we all know Saki's going to troll everyone with a barrage of rinshan kaihous again haha.

and the first half is now over, Saki still hasn't shown what she is capable of...She also feels that someone is still hiding something...and that feeling of hers wasn't wrong...

moving on to the second half,

that 'naked wait' of Toyone! sugoi! :D

Toyone crying was too cute! didn't expect that she had a personality like that, looking at her appearance...

Toyone is on fire! someone please stop her! xD

this was an episode full of Toyone, dedicated for Toyone...

Still waiting for Saki and that Mikos power next week...


don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD

That flashback is fukin long!
God damn it just get on with the game.
Are they planning to drag on the game till the 12th episode?
Please let it finish by episode 11 and give me fanservice for the last episode.
And I'm betting the ending move will be Saki pulling out an impossible 3 concealed kan all tile same type rishan kaihou with dora tiles.
No matter how uninteresting an anime series looks, watch it.

Normally, when I play Mahjong, I don't reveal my hand at all, but watching Toyone play, I'm considering changing my play.

Toyone's so cute. XD

Normally I don't like when they show flashbacks, and certainly when they are that long, but I really liked this one with Toyone. She suddenly became my favorite Saki character. I also love her playing styles.

As usual, this anime makes mahjong scary, what with those unnatural hands. A consistent naked wait like that is just madness....

Yep, the OST moments made me cry. Perfect. About the episode, the flashback is actually Saki tradition. In the 1st season, we had episodes with flashbacks of Kanna, that "disappearing girl" flashback, and some ryuumombuchi's as well. In Achiga, all the other school had flashbacks as well, right? Well, with the exception of Shiraitodai because they WILL have flashbacks on the grandfinals. Well, that's the author's style. She wants us to get to know the other schools a bit in each series.

The flashbacks in Saki are great but somehow I'm finding the Himematsu one's a bit...long and dragged.

I want more screentime for the game!

Toyone's cute though. I love her eyes :3

Toyone is very moe..but in the end,what I want to watch most is Saki Rinshan Kaihou.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Toyone is a surprising mix of sweet and sinister.

I'd have thought that Eisui would have been more formidable, but it looks like they haven't done much throughout the match. Although now it looks like something has been triggered.

And I still barely get anything that's going on, but it's too addicting and fun!

That was a very heartwarming backstory for both Toyone and Aislinn. Toyone is now my favorite character in this show. She's so adorable. :3
