What you should learn/know are - the meaning of the game's terms (Ron, Tsumo, Chi, Pon, kan ,Dora, Riichi, furiten, tenpai) - Types of winning hand These two things are enough to enjoy Saki series.

2nd point: Voice too familiar? 3rd point: Kuro-chan maji tenshi? *is shot from 2 years of range* 4th point: Err i need help. I hardly hear the VA of Yuu though.(I think totally never watch shows that has MAKO as a VA of one of the characters.(Its a coincidence i swear.)) 5th point: Pointed for truth. Geez, what are the College student and the First year student(Watch it hours ago so i forgot.) doing to Nodoka(Though i got to admit, a 6th grade and has that big si- *IS SHOT*...Is...ni...ce...*dies*)? X( Back on topic, since this is a spinoff, that means it is like a railway track that starts off out from the main line, then by the time they reach the main line the side story ends right?

I watched Symphogear. Hibiki voice is OK. Shizuno voice when she shout in Drama CD is annoying ,but in anime it sounds ok for me ,so I don't have problem anymore. To tell you the truth: VA is never be my condition to watch or not watch the show. I usually have problem in recognizing VA voice even he/she is popular one ,so most of time, I only care how each character voice sound like in anime not who voice for them.

Ok, one thing that I never understood: -You can either collect your tiles hidden, until you get a winning hand. -Or you can pick up tiles and complete small sets, one at a time. I had the impression, that doing the latter is absolutely worthless. It seems you can not score many points and it is harder to complete your last set, because it comes with weird conditions like 'it has to be a drawn tile'? Everytime I tried this, I ended up stuck on my last few tiles. Is this a winning strategy? I saw one of the girls do this in episode 1 already. |

Ahem...You were here longer than me... Hibiki's VA= Shizuno's VA.(Both are the Genki type so don't worry...)(I think...Just hope QB/Fine character wise doesn't stand in the way.) At least i still have my Tsundere girl in my avatar. |

Ahh good times... I still remember Symphogear being part of Gundam franchise... Oh well, when it airs though...? I am going to watch this till the end.(Can't marathon already after watching Modern Magic Made Easy, brain is screwed thanks to what the characters who know computers did. (Good for hackers though)) Anyway, what actually happened 6 years ago? Why the college student(A.k.a mahjong teacher) lose?(Don't tell me another Yakuman newbie again?) So should Saki be a sub-forum? Or leave it like this?(Since they are "related".) |

It was quite simple: she just made a lot of mistakes at the Nationals and the points lost caused her team to lose. She ran away from her pain, but by the time she was ready to play again, she couldn't capture that feeling she once had. Thus, in order to atone for her "sins" (mistakes), she took on the duty of teaching children to play so the future would be brighter for Achiga.

Ahhh how good it is to see Nodoka-chan again, it's like blissful ignorant heaven
Good start so far and can't wait till we get to the thick of it all, with the absurd and crazy! Think I'm gonna really like Ako, something about her thats got charm.

not too bad i dont like flashbacks but i knew it was coming cause of the manga so i braced myself and actually found it to be pretty good ^^
The animation style is different than saki but at least they still focus on the legs im really looking forward to this one

It's back! Crazy Mahjong anime .. although I don't understand Mahjong at all.
Not the sequel that I was hoping, but this is fine too. I didn't read the manga so I don't know anything about the story, but it turns out fine. Btw, Nodoka's clothe at the end is quite daring. lololol.

Great first episode, really liked it. This is a nice blend of moe and plot that I can enjoy. For anyone who is wondering of the rules of Riichi Mahjong, there's a thread in the Games forum, and I made a basic overview post on my blog as well, but I'd ask for that through VM or PM if you're interested. That, and I recommend you watch Akagi either way, since it's a fantastic series revolving around the game and teaches you quite about it along the way.
So about the first episode. Nodoka! Very cute to see the younger kids playing Mahjong with their enthusiastic but washed up teacher. It's got a traditional "Karate Kid" feel to it, but with little girls and Mahjong. xD As for the kids themselves...I swear that Shizu's never wearing pants...or underwear for that matter. Is that part of the joke?

To start...Nodoka from Achiga-hen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nodoka from Saki. I don't even like Nodoka in the original Saki but she's way to adorable to ignored here...
As far as voice is concern, I can't even recognized Hanazawa's, much less the genki version of Aoi Yuuki (I still like her Victorique/Tooru voice a lot more)... On a side note, though, too bad this is 12 episodes, or else I'm pretty sure there would be a lot more Nodocchi action. P.S. That 2 seconds of Tacos...くぎゅううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううう うううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううううう ううううううううううううううううう

Anyway, I liked this first episode. Nice little throwback to the original series with Nodoka (whom I never cared much about in the original series) and most of the other characters were quite likable. As long as this show continues to be interesting, I don't really care if it's short.

We see whether if its still in the slice of life route or going to Mahjong route in the next episode. This is supposed to be Side Story... No side stories ever go beyond 2 cour actually. And i think there will be new abilities shown in the following episodes.(As long as there is no Yakuman Newbie there, it will be fun.(Cause a Yakuman(and by that i mean like Kokushi Musou or All green or all Wind tiles) will be near impossible, let alone a newbie.) |

So much hate for Nodoka. People don't even care about melon-sized breasts.
Anyways, I find Shizuno so adorable !!! I absolutely adored how she wears jersey almost all the time, but too bad she doesn't wear any underwear, considering that nopan is the primary thought of fanservice in Saki.
