It crossed most of the boxes for a cute girl doing cute things show (like the absence of males on screen), except the girls are a lot more sexy than cute, with a relatively mature look and huge boobies.
But then I learned that there is an ecchi spin-off manga with a male MC taking place a few years later. First thing the MC does when he enters the salon is trying to pinch Nashiko's nipples (she doesn't wear a bra) at Pai's urging. So I guess that explains the designs? Still really weird. Anyway, the highlight was the talking bird voiced by Akio Ohtsuka. It wasn't even the only bird I heard talk today. Edit: there is also a proper manga adaptation with the cute designs you'd expect. Shit's weird.

This was on my radar in part due to the art (though I don't really like Quints) but it feels like Sakura Quest or something from PA Works with a mahjong theme. Its neat so far though admittedly I'm not really a fan of mahjong; I have played enough ecchi mahjong games to know the rules more or less though. I'll give it a couple more episodes anyway.

I didn't catch the wordplay in the title until just now -- Pon no Michi" set in the real Japanese seaside town of Onomichi. This town was the setting for the older anime series Kamichu! but it's updated, showing the new railway station and the "castle" that used to be up on the hill is no longer there, demolished a couple of years ago. I think the cable cars in the PV are the new replacement ones too.

I learned mahjong way back when Akagi aired but I've forgotten some suits and I never got the hang of counting points which was by far the hardest part (thankfully, when you play online you don't have to).

The newbie perspective is great for non-players like myself and actually made things easy to follow. This is one of the biggest gripes I had about Saki, which never bothered with explanations and left me completely in the dark as to the significance of certain actions, some of which beginners might not be familiar with (and certainly be expected to "educate themselves" on).
