| We got more proper strategy gamepaly this episode with commentary, character reactions, and that meme bird aka Chonbo. I don't care much about the game itself but it's so amusing seeing how these girls use their 'strategies' when playing against each other. It takes a light approach without much drama. I bet the VAs have a lot of fun with their characters in the show. |

| Well it seems everyone was pretty open to someone new joining into their gameplay. It was also funny to see the bloopers of Nashiko when she was trying her to impress Riche. I also liked the tea set Riche brought with her. Was it just me or was the background music pretty loud in comparison to the voices of the characters? |
| Nice chill episode with Riche joining the girls as the 4th member of the game. It was hilarious seeing Nashiko trying to impress Riche during the game but ending up embarrassing herself |
| Still pretty incoherent, but the cuteness outweighs that for now |

| If they're not properly playing by the next episode, it's gotta be a drop. I don't hate it, but it's a bit bland and I'm not going to sit through another K-on... (´–﹏–`；) |

What a chombo, huh.
<-- doesn't get it at all.
<-- doesn't get it at all.
| It was more or less explained in the first episode. Chombo is the term for an ilegal action in riichi mahjong, like accidentally pushing the tiles in front of you (it was present in this episode when Nashiko attempted the tsubame gaeshi trick), declaring riichi without a ready hand, etc. When that happens the game is restarted after the guilty player pays x points to the rest. And that's why the sparrow is offended to be named after that word. |

| Well I still don’t really understand the game, their hands are moving so fast and it looks like they’re all playing at the same time instead of taking turns, and it might also help if I knew what the symbols meant on the pieces lol, so I may have to look up how the game is played after all but I am definitely enjoying this just for the CGDCT aspect as well, the girls just goofing while playing is a lot of fun (including Nashiko’s “let it rip” lol), as well as when they’re playing seriously and have those dramatic expressions. And speaking of expressions, I was happy to see the art style change joke was probably just a first episode thing, I definitely enjoyed the funnies in this episode more overall. And Riche is a nice new addition to the gang, although we haven’t had much of a chance to get to know the original three still lol. She’s very passionate about mahjong it seems based on her past, which was very cute, and it was kinda upsetting that Nashiko’s hesitation to let her play with them caused Riche to nearly cry, so I’m glad the fun that followed after more than made up for it. Perhaps eventually we might see things get more serious on the mahjong side of things, but I can also see this staying purely fun the whole time, and I’m fine with either outcome honestly, I only wish to understand the game lol. |
| Just like in Saki, the Mahjong jargon goes over my head. I hope they don't take too long to introduce that black and red girl, cool design. |
| Still having no idea what the rules really are or what's happening but the vibes are good and the girls are cute so it's still watchable. |
| Riche's arrival and acceptance as a new member was cute. And I think maybe Riche is from somewhere else. She seems to enjoy playing together with friends of the same age at that place. It's really getting more fun with Riche now, it's getting busier and more exciting. |
| Cute episode again with Riche joining the group, good to have her. Her reactions were so adorable. Nice backstory too and small Riche's adorable. They were messing around more than playing mahjong but that was fun to watch. |
 |
| I love this anime. |
 |
| well this is more fun than i expected, that's for sure lol - small Rishe kawaii - must be fun when the adults play with kids and let them play with their own rules - the way they were all crying at the start was also interesting... - no one would believe the bird can talk or play huh haha - i still have no idea how to play mahjong, but at least i understand now that they need those 3-3-2 or whatever combinations, and have to put the pieces they don't want in the middle ... - now i imagine that seeing the "trash" pieces makes others know "oh maybe now i can't do that combination sicne that piece is gone" - still funny to see them fooling around, like the chum-beam or when Nashiko tried to instantly win without looking at the pieces "back to reality" LOL - anyway, after playing and drinking tea for a whole day, they are all best friends already waiting to see what comes next, i can now see myself finishing this anime, while before it was on the list of "i like it a bit but i might drop after ep 2/3" since i'm watching 35+ seasonals and i don't think i'll finish them all lol |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Riche is really looking forward to Nashiko's game parlor, because she literally forced her parents to bring her there to see the adults play and learn as well, so uch so that it became her most memorable place. And without knowing it, Nashiko had found her 4th player, but at the expense that she's still treating the game parlor like a hangout place. And as coincidence would have it, both Izumi and Pai let her into their group. Having 4 actual people is better, but showing them how it's done with Chonbo is a good starting place...as an example. Aside from the real game rules, the girls do have their own rules outside of mahjong, they're just amateurs trying to understand how to play as well...along with humoring Riche. A tea-time session to end their day, and all's well that ends well. Here's to more fun moments. |
 |
| This one was pretty boring. And while part of that certainly goes to the Slice of Life scenes, I think the major problem was that I had no idea what's going on during the Mahjong games. Therefor, I'll put this show On-Hold until I'm more familiar with the game. But the show is not captivating enough for me to go learn that game right away, so it might take some time. |
| Another fine episode, can't say much. Riche is the newest in the group and the most experienced at Mahjong as we learn from her backstory. Izumi and Pai welcomes her with open arms and Nashiko eventually agrees to let her join them. They start playing together and they have a fun time. Riche also has this cool tea set in a briefcase. What do you call them? Travel tea sets? It doesn't matter but it's cool. |
 |
| Solid episode, dat crybaby tho.. damn i prefer her when she was younger jk but not jk :x Damn this is sooo underrated only the few chosen will understand it. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It seems like it's not serious or not taking mahjong seriously but it has its chill and vibe moments between the girls. But that's fine and what I like about it. The thought of having a nice place to chill and have fun with your friends is nice to watch. |
| Chun Beam like in chuunibyou XD |

| They Sure Were Having A Good Time. |
| Well it's nice that Riche has joined them, she can definitely be a good friend |
 |
| I think this animu is just for those who likes N curious about mahjong.. For me, whose already know most of the rule bcz some of my japanese game include mahjong as a mini-game.. If they focus more on mahjong than comedy / other lifes aspect / story, then I would skip this.. |
