Good episode, one girl at the draw...well, didn't look like a girl. She had green hair, can't miss her.

And yep, lots of blushing, I don't mind if this turns out to be yuri. A lot of fanservice still as well! Oh well, I don't mind.

TACOS!

Good to see the opponents for the upcoming tournament getting a bit of screentime and exposition. Wouldn't be as fun if they're just pointless extras when they get their arse handed to them.

Really though, have we seen the president play Mahjong yet? I'm curious to see how she shapes up compared to Nodoka and Saki.

So, when are the two of them going to kiss? Seriously, with all that blushing every time they talk to each other, it's bound to happen.

Fanservice and Blushing since ep.1 lol Saki looked cute when she was a kid, her and her pigtails. I'm sure there's bound to be a kiss between Saki and Haramura lol! Yuuki was also funny with her tacos.. haha! I'm still impressed how Saki can still get a friggin +/- zero.. like holy crap, people would already think she's rigging the game, LOL!

Exactly the same as the last episode, only they upped the blushing and decided to throw in another shot of Saki clutching her hands together...Her hands which were so subtly placed on her lap -.-'' More plot, more yuri, more taco's.

don't have a problem with moe or yuri, i'd just like to some actual plot too. and for the moe/ecchi stuff to be less in-your-face. find it kinda insulting that they seem to think big breasts are all it takes to make a show good :/

The magazine photographer called it like it is. I know it's one of the reasons I like this anime.

And yeah, I thought they'd kiss at the end of the pinky promise scene.

I want to kill the loli. I care about her so little, I can't even remember her name and still refer to her as the loli. She seriously needs to die. Also, am I the only one that momentarily thought Nodoka was browsin porn at the beginning of the episode? Then again, I should be used to the pointless blushing by now.

Moar plot plx :( Make that more plot than "omg sister/inferiority complex" at least. Also, those two seirously just need to just kiss. Shit they should just remove the mahjong from this and stop trying to hide what this really is.

Total lack of bathing this episode too, I'm disgusted Gonzo, disgusted.

^ Shinji worked fine for me. Probably short a codec or something.

I just wanted to watch some incredible kid kicking ass of everyone else, and now I'm stuck with this weird over-dosedly harem? anime in which nearly every thing looks like a soap bubble, over-sparkly. Everyone, even the chairs were sparkling in this episode and blushing of course (fortunately not the chairs in this case).

please, somebody stop me! my brain going to melt.

but really, shouldn't this one categorized as harem or something similar, I would not started to watch it, if it was tagged in some way implying "this anime can be and should be endured by boys only"?

How... is this a harem show? There's no girls fawning over a single guy in this show. It's just a bunch of chicks playing mahjong.

Great episode. Though every time i watch this series I want to learn mahjong. Maybe it's because I don't understand anything. And still Saki is getting +-0 I thought we were over that.!! But I guess not, and what's up with the 1/2 yuri scene at the end? This is a mahjong series with yuri !! OMG !!

then unattended harem, no-boy harem, footlose harem, vagabond harem?, blush-on soap bubble harem, yuri implied harem, self-sufficient harem... pick one

the description could (& should to prevent further damage) be improved, I just dont know the appropriate tag/genre, please enlighthen me!

maybe someone (definitely other than me) could write a review, that would be helpful...

I actually enjoyed this episode. I really hope that turns out to be yuri because I want to see a kiss between Saki and Nodoka. I will be unhappy if Saki and Nodoka don't fall in love with each other. Yuri ftw!

This is turning out a lot like Shin no ou. Well, the fact that its about playing a board game in a tournament and all the people having alterior motives for doing so. Except for in this one the reasons are more juvenile.

Saki being the best all the time is already starting to annoy me. She's either wins or gets the amazing ending of plus minus zero. Someone else needs to beat her once in a while.

Aside from the nice list of seiyuu, the anime itself is actually somewhat boring since it focuses too much on plus/minus zero and mahjong.
