it's called imagery... XD
couldn't agree more with kyouray: the music... there was just something wrong with it; hopefully it was just for the promotional video and it's not going to be the same for the anime. It's good to have a clean version of the comiket trailer, though. Those few seconds of kaichou/bouchou made me very happy. Expect a large female cast! Saki's last line is exactly the same as the Drama CD... XD On a random note, they are still frigging huge... |

Watched the PV recently. That's some hardcore freakin' Mahjong. I think I'm gonna have to check this series out just for that.
Plus, as someone else in this thread mentioned, I think, it'd probably be good for me to learn a thing or two about Mahjong. :P |

I'd watch Akagi in preparation for this, given that it is also series based around Mahjong and it's just that freaking good It's more on the lines of Death Note in terms of style though.

Hmm... from the manga it'd seem it isn't that detailed in the games it presents. They only briefly skim through the matches, and mainly go for the hands resolution. Which is a shame (at least, they never go to the detail Akagi or Hikaru no Go did. It reminds me more of Shion no Ou I guess.)

I will say after reading the scanlated manga, checking some of the latest japanese chapters and listening to the drama CD, that there's very little in common between the two other than mahjong. I'm not sure of why, but the focus is put on the dynamics of the characters and not so much on the game itself. Though, I must admit that mahjong is in the end the most interesting aspect of Saki (each of the girls play it differently). So far, the charm of Saki has been reading and listening to the characters interact with each other, and share with them the fun they have by playing this game... just my opinion.
Epic Mahjong is another way to put it... |
