| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was very interesting episode, in the monitor everyone could see Momoko, ok I feel sorry about her have negatives presence since she doesn't make any friends. This was more about Momoko pasts, then relationships with Yumi developed and she learn more about fun to conversation with people etcs. There wasn't so much Mahjong here but in the next episodes this will end and the same as Mahjong start for Saki match, we saw Koromo there sitting on the chair and play. BTW Anyone have any news about volume 6 yet? It seem like there will get into volume 5 soon. Volume 5 spoiler - Spoiler warning |

| I was disappointed we didn't get to see the end of the Nodoka match. I didn't think Momoko's past was such a big deal, and I wouldn't of minded it so much if they didn't replay the same scenes like 3-4x. Next weeks episode should be so much better. |
| Well, probably a few people want to know about her pasts, what's happend with her and how she become friends with Yumi? Beside this anime is 100% based of manga and nothing can be changed from it. Repeating the scenes becuase they want to filled this episode a bit more probably they will the manga created of Saki to completed the volume 6 somehow since it's not even done yet or even publish it to ours publics. |

| What a ridiculously bad episode, and character to boot. |
  |
| what a yawner |
 |
| Oh my.. this was bad.. |
| Reuse more shots plox Gonzo. |
| What's wrong to know her past? She is one of the special characters in the anime, Stealth Momoko. Did someone read my texts. Volume 6 of the manga is not even done yet that's why they refilled this repeating scenes. This was quite ok episodes. Jeez stop agreed with others and gave your own opionen. Are your guys agreed with it together or your gave yourself your own opionen? |

| i don't really care about the back ground story of the other players....i guess they gotta talk about something for 25 eps. |
| I like Momoko :< |

My problem wasn't really about her past. I don't really care for Momoko that much, but I can see where her past fits in. It's just the repeating of the scenes that get to me. I don't mind adding a little bit of filler content into the episode. It can be easily done in an anime like Saki. For instance, they could of easily showed Momoko playing a match of mahjong so we can see her talent. This would of been more appropriate than repeating scenes. I know many people complain about filler, but personally I find it more appropriate than repeating the same stuff over and over. You also can shorten the number of episodes if filler isn't an option. |
| hmmm looks like they didnt finish the match this ep looks like Saki is going to finally play next episode i think based on preview <_< |
| Grrr... This show just runs on exposition of unimportant people. But still Momo is cute so I'll be slightly less mad. |

| poor girl ,reminded me of Kagerou Usui of sayonara zetsubou sensei but even so nodoka is going to win for sure |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| yeah was an ok ep. momo was ok and all but the match was a bit boring. woah koromo playing , now i am really excited about it. |
     |
| Weak episode... hardly anything keeping this one from being really boring |
| As much as I like Momoko, that was a very annoying episode. It would have been much better if they hadn't used the same scenes over and over and over and over. |
 |
| cheap sia xD very low existance |
     |
| I'm surprised at how many people didn't expect the repeating scenes from Gonzo. It's Gonzo! They're known for being plain-out bad. The episode wasn't as annoying to mas it seemed to be for most of you... the only thing I found annoying was Momo's disappearing abilities. I mean... yeah. I guess it's in the manga too if it's shown like it was in the episode, but maybe Gonzo just made it look worse. Cause you know; Gonzo makes everything worse. |
| IaMP with me. |
| I think Momo's power is kinda dopey and it's my least favorite of all of them. I actually rather like the show's working to get sympathy toward the other characters. Sadly it seems in some cases many here don't appreciate it enough. I love it. Would have preferred it if they didn't keep re-using that I WANT YOU scene, but it didn't strike me as being bad enough to warrant, say, punching my screen or anything. The only footage that really bothered me that they re-used was from when Saki was running to greet Nodoka from a couple episodes ago. RE: SAKI FILLER EPISODES FOR ANIME/MANGA PACING: What about Kyotaro? Doesn't he compete in the individual competition? Will we be seeing anything from him? Even though I'm watching this as much for the yuri as I am about the surreal mahjong gameplay, a little bit about his run through the tournament would make decent filler, and while I love the fact that everyone gets a fairly complex characterization -- there are very few flat characters, regardless of whether or not many are cliche -- it strikes me as odd that we know more about the players from Ryuumonbouchi than about him. |
| Oooh Miss Alicia It's our own secret garden Lesbians at war |
| Momoko... is really beautiful. And i have loved this episode for one thing : The music... Realy good. |

HoaRy said: alamarco said: replay the same scenes like 3-4x. That was horrible today, Momo standing up in the dawn like 5x (including OP), and some other scenes 2x, 3x, 4x .... Gonzo just produced half the video material you need for one episode :/ On the other hand it's Momoko yeah, one of the very special characters in Saki :) - I found it quite amusing Yumi found her just looking at the IP adress lol. Next episode should be awesome, "Mamono" and some of the preview pictures announce some predicted Koromo ownage. More like Nodoka fully awakening and owning everyone. I'm betting that they will strech it and the episode will end when Saki, Koromo and co will be sit down on the chair, just when the game would start to create suspense. |
 |
| Eh.. decent episode I guess, not as great as majority of the others. Saki seems to thrive on the yuri relationships >.< I don't mind the character developments, but I'd rather watch the games. That's what this anime's supposed to be about afterall. Is (forgot the name of the main characters' school) the only one without at least one person with special (superhuman) powers? Kinda unfair. |
 "You're such an idiot." ~Celty (Durarara) "How many seconds until the boy confesses his love to the girl?" ~Durarara Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process? |
| I thought the anime would be at least serious during the matches, but i was wrong. Wtf with that almost invisible girl ? Even if she has no presence, i can't believe the other players haven't heard her declaring riichi twice... |
| i don't really care about the back ground story of the other players....i guess they gotta talk about something for 25 eps. |
 |
| It was nice to see some scenes from Tsuruga High School. It's been all about the three other schools till now. It was sad to see Momoko's history though. =/ |
| it seemed like they covered the background twice during this ep.. was way to much.. should havef cut it down by either 1/2 or 2/3.. |
 |
HoaRy said: I found it quite amusing Yumi found her just looking at the IP adress lol. Yeah, that made no sense. The only way that would work is if she was plugged in via. hard line and there were reserved address blocks for each classroom. |

| I liked this episode because Momoko’s background is interesting enough. Overall, this episode wasn’t annoying at all; however, I do hope that Gonzo don’t make everything worse. |
| holy crap its anti-spiral, wait i mean an anti-existence, scary stealth mode, but nothing nodoka won't be able to handle! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| hmm an okay episode, so they explained about Momo's past =/ Want to get to Saki's match already D: |
| Im so happy im not the only one who found this episode a disgrace |
| Saki, stop making me cheer for everyone except the main characters. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Marow said: Saki, stop making me cheer for everyone except the main characters. Aren't you cheering for them as well? But yeah, Momo is the greatest character ever. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
kuuderes_shadow said: Marow said: Saki, stop making me cheer for everyone except the main characters. Aren't you cheering for them as well? But yeah, Momo is the greatest character ever. Barely. They're rather flat and we barely know their stories. |

| Holy moly, things are getting crazier. Momo's lack of presence is like an exaggerated version of Kuroko from KnB. |
 |
| Pretty sweet backstory about this Momo character actually, interesting development in general but well for a reason I'd like to get this over with and see Saki play! |
 |
| Abandoning your logical play just to stand out .. well .. that's rational if you've the upper hand . Misdirection takes place !! She ends the first half with an unexpected stealth play !! The phantom of the table controls the tiles with her Invisible spectrum !! Non-existing one !! The Enlightenment for a shadow of nobody ~ !! Happy for her !! Power of anti-existence vs. the other 'unearthly' beings !! Senpai notice you alright ~ !! Finding the right one !! |
