I was pwned
Spoiler for su anko:
To topple it off it was a rin shan kaiho yakuman. Yesterday I actually got a 3 little dragons hand, but forgot to take a screenshot from it. Rats. In any case, I hope that by the end of the next episode we are already on with the meat of the show. It has been enough introduction I think

I'm starting to kinda feel sorry for the guy. He looks like he's the type to fall for the princess (Nodoka), get into whacky hijinks to seduce her, only to realize that he's really in love with his childhood friend (Saki). And maybe accidentally collect a few more girls in the process. That should have been his destiny. But unfortunately for him, neither the princess nor the girl next door are interested in him. They only have eyes for each other.

Well I'm still enjoying the side characters, but Nodoka and Saki's emoing all over the place makes me feel exhausted after every episode...I'm not sure what exactly the intent is in making them overreact to every last little thing, but it genuinely makes it hard to emphasize or just plain give a damn about them as characters honestly...
Meh atleast theirs our fun loli and the two schemers to keep things relatively level headed.

Just saw episode 04 and would like to reiterate my comment about all the moe shows running together. They were really laying it on thick with the whole implied yuri vibes between Saki and Nodoka and even gave the two their own sparkly flashy rainbow background sequence together ala K-On. I felt like saying "Why don't you two just get down on the blanket right now and start making out already?!" at the point when Nodoka goes to share her lunch with Saki because it was just so sappy. There friends now, not life partners come on already. I can certainly see how people are getting put off by this at this point.
And the sparkle sparkle fantasy sequences don't stop there. Episode four really must have been the detour from premise week for moe shows.....is what I thought before they got to the maid cafe. I started off thinking it was going to be borderline unwatchable (and the first parts were) and that the president was totally bullshitting about learning about Mahjong with real world interactions, but then they actually sat down at the Mahjong table with some guests and started to play. Come to the maid cafe and get creamed in a game of Mahjong right? Not quite. I like how the prez sicked a pro on them to teach them a lesson that while they are certainly excellent players that there is tons of room for improvement. Of course the could just totally end up botching this whole improvement via training camp thing next episode by doing silly things and forgetting to show it, which I really hope won't be the case. From what I see in the preview it could honestly go either way. Other good stuff, by all rights that part where Yuki just randomly goes flying and....guy who's name I can't remember lands on her should have been an eyerolling endeavour, but Kugimiya's voice acting totally sells the scene somehow. Also I just noticed something freaky about her in that that cat belt thing she wears actually seems to move and change it's facial expression depending on her mood ala Wade Duck's inner tube in Orson's Farm. Also we get our first real introduction to the terror of Amae Koromo this episode and her spectre hangs heavily over the tone of the episode later on and what the girls are going to be facing come the tournament. So the episode started of pretty bad, but ended up actually being pretty good once they got down to actually playing Mahjong again. I was pleasantly surprised. P.S: Now if you'll excuse me I'll have to go dine on my own words about Saki not being able to equal K-ON in the sparkle sparkle department should the latter have a yuriesque sequence....which it did. Saki equalled and overshot it so far that it ended up somewhere beyond overwrought and just before Blinded by the light. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2009-05-02 at 06:39. |

This is just what happens when you get two snarks in close proximity to one another. Nothing to see here.
Back to point though, it amazes me that nobody has said anything about Koromo up to this point even though she's starting to make her presence felt. Not even a "hey who's that evil looking girl in the silhouette?" Oh but they will be talking about her when the time comes.....they will be. |

1- People are too busy mentioning "other things" instead. 2- They already knew about her and want to see others' reaction who didn't know about her when they see her. 3- You already spoiled we all . And to me, it is no.2 reason. Quote:
