| Not gonna lie, I didn't understand anything from this Mahjong came but it was pretty entertaining. Actually it was even more epic than some Action shows I could watch by the past However, episode 1 started at 30 days before the end of the world and now we're 13 days ahead of that event : wondering if the next episodes will slow down the pace or not. |

Lelouch0202 said: Perfect summarize of my experience this episode!What just happened? The episode. I have no clue what Youta did, I have no idea how Mahjong is played but I guess this is not how you do it. Very entertaining though especially with the random Uno rules. xD Youta's seiyuu did an incredible job here. Damn Yota, refusing Tengan's advances. At least he's faithful to Izanami, so points for that. Shame on refusing those advances though, Tengan was thirsty af! |
 |
| Alright episode. Some funny moments, and I was just facepalming the entire time from the stupid rules. Still enjoyable episode |
| I don't think Tengan is a love interest at all. She evidently shows up in later episodes, according to the PVs and the promotional posters. Hina wants Youta to know her for something in the future. The prize money might have something to do with it too. That aside, I do think the pacing was weird, especially towards the end of the episode. It's like they didn't know how to end it, and they slapped a high-tension scene with the chase there. ----------------------------- Some observations: |

zamandzoe said: "Weird" does not do this episode justice. This episode was all over the place, and hardly in a good way. Apparently the motive for everything that happened was for Youta having a chance to get laid? I think? The episode doesn't make it clear until the very end. And while I know nothing about mahjong, whatever Hina and Youta did made it more confusing to watch. I mean, it was entertaining. It held my attention. But I'm not going to say this episode was good either. And the worst part is he pussied out at the end.... I still don't get the whole point of this series. It seems the "end of the world" might turn out to be something interesting (if fake world theory is true) but getting there sure feels like it's just pointless filler. |
| i would beat the crap out of the MC on the spot. this ep is only for someone who has absolutely no knowledge about mahjong to enjoy. |
| I don't know mahjong and so I barely understood anything. |
| Dude, they actually wasted an entire episode's worth in character building in a game I'm pretty sure a good portion of western audiences has barely heard of, let alone known about its rules... Well, what else to say... terrible episode and probably the worst one I have watched this season so far. No matter how hard they tried to make it look entertaining by adding flashy effects and forced character outbursts, this episode's narrative was just plain stupid and all over the place. |

| These episode gave me a mixed feeling. The beginning already started with some intriguing information. A lot of sci-fi explanations already launched in pretty fishy way. It might be referring to some kind of a big research theory that related to why Hina appeared in the middle of Narukami's family. The reason still unknown. What kind of research still blurred. And why the company of that hacker guy really curious about the research still under developed about that. Okay, another post-poned scene, they left it with how naive Narukami passed the day at some kind of weird tournament. Yeah, Mahjong. I don't understand this kind of game. But only one thing that surely became a massive different between them. A freestyle theme at the stricted kind of game, continued with the 'no rule' blocking to decide the pawn sequence, plus an infinity luck, then the last and important one, Hina's blessings. It made Narukami's saw a gap to launched an ultimate attack, infinite Riichi as a closurement between those intensed battles. Lmao. Whatever i was talking there. its indeed an interesting and pretty entertain me a lot, watching their intense battle. Really, i didn't understand the whole play they had there. I hope its not getting me any false statement above xD. Okay, as the result, Narukami was supposed to had a fun. But, damn you, virgin. Narukami denied Kako's invitation, and he just wasted any potential happiness on his last summer holiday, without any good feeling at the end. Lol, sorry, its really funny xD. But, something just feel wrong. Izanami left him. She might feel a jealousy. Then the deal with the company in the first part. I really hope some more revelations before getting into a real deal: Narukami realization, a wishes of him. Well, lets see the next again! Ah, right, i forget to say the last one. Its 13 days left before the doom! |

| Damn it this was a messy episode but I somehow loved it. We opened up with a scene with Hiroto researching about doctors and stuff, that is not connected to the story at all. Anyways, what do we got for this week...a mahjong tournament! I never want to admit it but this anime is somehow showing off a sports side to it. We got basketball, baseball, and now we got mahjong. I don't even know mahjong and the way Yota (Hina) played the game is unintelligible to me, but it is somehow entertaining. Because of our MC's turnaround win, we got a beautiful and sexy Kako congratulating Yota. But somehow she is actually advancing on him, which was so funny and dumb. Yota, you have yourself a gateway to nirvana land, yet you still reject it, that's a pousse move. Well 13 days to go, but that's somehow fast considering we're only a third of the way. |
 |
| Another enjoyable episode. And another win thanks to Hina's advice. Youta refused to use his "infinite riichi" to get the "ultimate women," but at least Izanami looks impressed. lmao 13 DAYS UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD.  |
| What an interesting episode, i've never played mahjong or even know how to play but they managed to do that part in a very entertaining and funny way lmao Now what Hina was saying makes sense, "this a waste", if the world is really going to end now then he really skipped the best opportunity in his life xD Being a teenage boy, and suddenly this girl makes your dream come true in less than a few days xD I do hope we will see more of Kako Tengan xD That was pretty funny, and i doubt that now that she was rejected for the first time, she won't give up so easily.  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Well, as a Mahjong player myself, thsi episode was just so funny to watch...laughed definitely a lot. Imaging doing something like that in real haha... Oh boi...only 13 days left? Can't we just have a happy daily life full with playing Mahjong??? |
 |
| LOL was pleasantly surprised to see mahjong in this (tho that was completely butchered but had me laughing out loud lol) i know the japanese have their own version of MJ but wow that was crazy. i almost died when he yelled skip. if you have more/less than 13 tiles you can't win that round and/or will be penalised. that is nOT how yoU pLaY maHjOng this episode was literally mahjong-isekaiED lol "more tiles means more opportunities" NO.........HAHAHAHAHA the writer had a ball with this script it was hilarious also a blank tile is not a printing error hina trollolololll still waiting for this show to go somewhere, i really like the characters tho. so it's 13 days left - wondering how the plot is going to play out! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| tfw no milf reporter waifu to see my infinite riichi |

| Honestly I have no idea what's going on because I don't know a thing about Mahjong... And I didn't come to watch this anime knowing there would be Majang related stuff.. I mean if they are going to do random stuff each episode, at least pick a topic more people are familiar with. I doubt most of the audience who come watching this know anything about Mahjong. Also this episode feels like a complete filler with no development of anything... We only got 13 episodes to complete the story no? |

| It's kinda a problem with anything Maeda Jun, he's great with throwing in SoL comedy into a serious plot, but needs alot of time for it to built up. Angel Beats and Charlotte had decent SoL stuff before the plot just crashed and burned, but this has been an absolute trainwreck thus far. If this was the first time I'm watching his work, I would have dropped this already, and even as a fan (of his VN works anyway), my patience clinging on by a thread. |
| I know nothing about mahjong but I am pretty sure this made me understand it less |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Seeing Mahjong gave me some Yakuza flashbacks, didn't understand it there and definitely didn't understand it here lmao. But, this episode was fucking hilarious though. Yota was so over the top with his original moves or I guess should I say Hina's. Narukami baka, how could you reject Tengan. Tengan was mad horny lmao, "I want to see your infinite riichi". Though I want so see more of Tengan, I hope she becomes a supporting character. Hmm, Hina must have something to do with the scientist mentioned in the beginning. Perhaps she's the daughter. There's definitely some technological shit going on here, and that Narukami's world being a fake world is pretty plausible. Words I live by: "If UNO allows it, thou can do it" lmao. |
 |
| I dont know the mahjong's rule but I surely think that Yota's play is not based on the standard mahjong's rule. But, it still can make me laugh from watching his play |
| B-b-but why.....? |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| LMAO WTF with that mahjong skills Youta? XD On another note, Izanami is my favorite from this show. She is too cute. It's sad that she left immediately tho, why? |
| The best episode of Mahjong I;ve ever seen xD let's just break all the rules and make some as up we go lolol |
 |
| This episode was cringy but damn funny. Love those gags and smug faces all around. Hina is goin places wrecking havoc in her wake.XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| An awesome episode once again. Didn't understand a single move in the game but enjoyed it for some reason. Also, that UNO shit was crazy. Also, damn...Tenga was hot. |
 |
| Damn, I played Mahjong only in the Yakuza games. I thought I'd never play that devil's chess again but this episode kinda makes me interested in skimming through the rules and at least play 1 game... Bots will probably wreck me tho cos I can't invent new moves like Narukami |
| I think I'm pretty confident in saying that this episode didn't help me understand mahjong that much. I think a good portion of the viewers watching this would've accepted Tengan's offer lol. Hope to see more of her in later eps. So we got 13 days left, and 8 eps to cover them. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. |
 |
| That ara-ara ending tho... |
 |
| Dude should have smashed. After all the world is ending. Or is it? Odd episode that mostly flew over my head, but that's nothing new. I still have almost no idea what the point of this anime is and I'm not honestly a big fan of the nonsensical storytelling & wacky structure, but for some reason I can't bring myself to drop it. |
   |
| Like expected, not as many people know how to play mahjong. This episode is by far the funniest if you understand riichi mahjong. |
| This episode was so funny, I forgot this was supposed to be sad anime. |
BOŽE ČUVAJ HRVATSKU |
| I was completely lost the entire episode lol. I didn't understand anything, but there were some fun moments here and there, with the highlight being the UNO joke. "If UNO allows it, then you can do it here as well" That's my life motto from now on. 13 days and 8 episode left and no clue how/when the real plot will kick in, let's hope the pacing doesn't get ruined. I thought we'd have some clue what would happen by now. Let's just wait and see what will happen in the next episode. |
 |
| "If UNO allows it, Thou may do it!" Hina "Odin" Sato - 2020 Man, if my life could be more successful with the use of the UNO reverse card, I would've abused it already! XD Not the best episode that we've had, but it was still a really funny one at that. I don't think I've watched any anime featuring mahjong before, so even the basic rules of playing it completely flew over my head, but it was still really funny to see Yota somehow re-writing the rules with each move he made in order to win. It just sucks that he rejected the alluring advances of Tengen, though. Most guys in his position would love to have a hot lady like her be all over him, wanting to know more about his "technique". =P Either way, I do expect either the next episode or the one after that to shift more screentime to the on-going plot with the hacker boy and those two executives talking at the start of the episode. It'll be interesting to see how that'll fold out soon enough. |
ButtSlapper said: i would beat the crap out of the MC on the spot. this ep is only for someone who has absolutely no knowledge about mahjong to enjoy. Yea, for real. It was probably the cringiest episode Ive seen in a while. No real world would allow fucking made up rules in an organized professional tournament. Also no real person would simultaneously be infatuated with a lady and deny romantic advances from them at the same time. |
 |
| considering i know ziltch about this game, they managed to make it entertaining - i actually laughed out loud a couple times. this show is FANTASTIC at physical comedy XD the whole sub-plot(-turned-main-plot (eventually)) is kinda lost on me right now, ngl. it's not that i dislike it or anything but my brain just isn't absorbing all the information being thrown at me. i might have to go back and re-watch the beginning of the ep tomorrow or something |
| A very difficult episode to follow for those of us who do not know the rules of Riichi Mahjong. The entire game sequence, which was the bulk of the episode, was almost incomprehensible to me. What I think happened was that most of Narukami's moves were illegal (since he barely understood even the basics of the game) but were misinterpreted by Kako Tengan as "bold" and "imaginative". And somehow that was supposed to be, er, funny? I don't know the rules of Riichi Mahjong but I know that in chess and its Japanese analogue shogi that could never happen (not even in anime, I strongly doubt anyone would dare desecrate them in that way). It probably would never happen in a Riichi Mahjong game either but Narukami's "ignorance that was misinterpreted as boldness and imagination" (that and misunderstanding more generally are way overused anime tropes, as we all know) is something that could happen only in anime that think they are being funny.. |
