Don't know what to say, really. I'm supposed to enjoy a series about a character whose only ability is having superhuman luck? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of playing a game at all, if you win by luck every time?

Excessive fanservice is also a no go. I was hoping this one would be interesting, but I'm going to have to drop it.

That's what I tried to say in earlier post. Is what makes other do the things with pics. Watch when onsen or mizuki episodes come.

There was something also about cheating in some scene had too many tiles (15 as to 14).

Tons of slow pans over Nodoka's breasts (which also seem to defy gravity with their bouncing), random yuri hug in the rain, bath scenes, and:

Lol, the fanservice isn't really getting to me so it's pretty much ignored. I only care about the mahjong and how the hell she keeps getting +/- 0 all the time. O_O

Mahjong is on my top 2 Chinese games list... The other is Chinese Chess, which is badass by the way. Also I actually have interest in these characters and I think this might actually get me back to my lovable high standards again. Yay!!! Lastly I want some form of Yuri to come out of this.

Is it just me or...? I am starting to get the feeling that there will be some ecchi GL romance in this one. Was Saki admiring the beauty of Nodaka-san or was she starting at her...

Interesting episode and a series I may just casually watch on the side. I hope the potential yuri becomes something more than quiet blushes and the awkward hugs.

I never really understand the 'mahjong' nor I want to really learn how to play it, but watching the 1st episode esp. the game was really eye catching.. disregarding the mahjong this anime looks great

I love this show with all the cute people and sports gerne. But everytime i watch online, the megavideo sign will pop out and say ' i have already watched 72 minutes of the show, please wait 56 minutes', or something like that and i've only watch ten minutes of the whole day!!! I tried reloading the page, but the sign still came out. where do all of you watch Saki?
Please tell me! <<extremely deperate!!>> Thank you very much!!! The smexy god will always be with you!!

this... was strangely surreal. I don't know jack about mahjong so I just had to read the notes and take the characters reactions for what they are. I mean the character designs are appealing (BOOBS!), so I'll stick with it.

They really made it epic, I didnt even bother pausing to understand cause even if I read it all I wouldn't even be close to understanding. Ill just enjoy the animation, epic moments and well the umm 'figures'.

Rewatching this after learning how to actually play. Wish they'd show the hands more, but I still don't understand a few of the terms they use. Still, I'm sure that my newfound knowledge will help out ...? XD

After watching Akagi, this just doesn't entertain me... Ah well.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place for some thriller mahjong.

An interesting first episode and definitely eye candy, but I really have no idea what's going on with the games. Honestly the sub notes explaining the rules sucked and only made it make less sense, but it was still a fun watch. Even looking up terms is making my mind reel harder than when I was looking up pitching terminology for my first baseball anime.

Really would like to be able to react to the games just like the players, but I won't let it bother me too much. Maybe it'll be a gradual learning experience.

Lol, is Yuuki's tongue the shape of a heart?

I play mahjong, but not the Japanese version of it so I was unfamiliar with some of the terminology used in this episode.

I can do without Nodoka's bouncing boobs though.

I don't play mahjong or know anything about it so I am already lost. I'll still watch it. Seems fine and unique.

That dramatic thunder xD
So, this is what it feels like to watch Hikaru no Go without Go.. Instead they changed it into Mahjong xD

Definitely didn't understand anything.. Maybe because I don't understand the rules of Mahjong or even how to play it? xD
