from what I remember when I used to play, alot of gambling was involved(mind whenever I played it was just chips used)

From what I gather from watching family play these days, best to have some money or bet involved, makes it a little more fun

This is all just probably influence from my big gambling family, they do love the local casinos-___-

When I was reading this seires, I thought I gotta learn to play again and meet a lass like Nodoka-chan but then it dawned on me "...yea right, keeping dreaming...."

btw if you haven't guessed already I'm a huge Nodoka-chan fan!

Nodoka and her penguin = epic win! oh how I love her and her penguin!

Personally speaking... if my interest in a show was say.... 7/10... having a lot of fav VA's casted in it would bump it up to a 8.... it's more an icing on the cake thing that a zomg I must check this out... though I must admit Romi Paku nearly makes me thing that way...

Hmmm....this is probably the first instance I have seen of anticipation for shows being rated numerically.

its all ones and zeros at the bottom ....

Gonzo isn't in charge of Saki. TV Tokyo is managing it and therefore, after ep1, it will be delayed on CR by a week for non-paying members.

-boggles- Aren't other stations (TV Aichi, etc) airing it as well, unless they're subject to TVTokyo's management too? ._.

This has nothing to do with broadcasters but rather who finances production and manages the rights (the larger stakeholders dominate the committee and thus have the most influence).

Ugh...I was hoping to be able to pay for DRM-free episodes to download like what Gonzo and Crunchyroll did with Druaga. I'm glad to pay for anime, but I'm not a big fan of paying for streaming, I like having a downloaded copy of the episode.

Yup, this'll be my first time making a CrunchyRoll account. For Saki and Shangri-la it's worth it, though I'll probably lapse my subscription once their done, unless CrunchyRoll gets more moe shows. I don't care an iota about Naruto or whatever.

Of course, you don't *have* to pay to watch it, you could always watch it free a week-later. Or wait till it comes out (?) on DVD.

I sure do wish BOST was still an active company.

From this and that manga cover, I'm starting to think, if Strike Witches was a show where pants didn't exist, is this a world where panties don't exist?!

Damn, I've never like boobs that are too big, but Nodoka really has got beautiful assets.

[Vexx]

Nodoka may be the first girl with big boobs that I like, but somehow that Megami scan is kinda exaggerated her boob size.

Still, once Kunihiro Hajime rolled out, I lost my heart.

I think I'm viewing anime art in a more artistic perspective, less real aesthetics lol

I think somehow her curves look really beautiful, the lines and stuff.

Coupled with the lines. I'm all about the colors. 2009 IS A GOOD LOOKING YEAR.....for anime.

Yea lol, you should check out Sorakake Girl as well if you haven't watch it.

I second that.

I'm still not sure whether I'll follow Saki when it begins proper, I guess I'll give it the three episode judgement.
