Well, I'm not surprised to see you here for the first reason, but Mahjong, really?

You may want to check the manga to know where you should place your expectation . Saki requires a lot of Mahjong knowledge first hand to be able to follow the manga (sometimes I have to read a sentence 3 or 4 times to understand what are they talking about), and large amount of suspended belief to enjoy it because, well, Saki's devil luck (although she has skill, and quite good, but how did she come to her winning hand is hard to believe).
But what can I say? Over the top action and reaction from various kind of cute girls and lolis are enough to make me enjoyed it. There is one thing I like about the manga is how they handle the "overwhelming" battle, or you can say, "grunt owning" battle. The manga doesn't waste time for such battles, instead they are used as stage for showing briefly how each member plays their games (like, some match only last 3 pages XD). To me, the main show begins when they reach the final (vol.2 onward).

Make sense, because almost all the girls are lovable XD.
And lolz at Momoko. I actually wanted to see how will they show Momoko, and this is what I get . Kinda spoiler, though.

Guys, apart from the loli, no-pan, GONZO, etc. have you noticed that this has the same director as Dragonaut and character designs are from the same dude that did the Erotic Torture Chamber Also in the promo apart from the crappy 3D, the lolis tend to transform in all the mahou shoujo glory WTF
Sorry for stating the obvious, but I am puzzled that none has yet begun ridiculing it, unless I am way off with my impressions |

Actually people have already pointed out separately all of which you've combined into one post.
But we can only judge when the actual show starts. Mainly I'm most interested in Nodoka which people in this thread don't seem too interested because most are more interested in lolis for this one.

Even though you said that, there are like, what, 3 lolis in this whole show.
And as far as I see, no one pick their favorite yet. In fact, all the girls are lovable, so I don't want to pick favorite in this one . And the cover, well, is just a cover. I don't remember seeing any scene like that in the manga, and hardly in the anime . Once they reach the final, I'll claim all the 3 lolis and some others . Quote:
Beside, I thought the 3D blend pretty well in the scene. And don't touch the mahou shoujo glory. It's what makes this show unique in its own genre. Judging from your reaction, I guess you haven't read the manga yet?

As for me, I've done enough research to get a sense of what to expect---I've been reading the manga and the Drama CD is one of my favorites, so yeah... (The Drama CD is actually the thing that convince me to watch this adaptation). Jun Fukuyama is unfortunately voicing a minor character. He is the only guy featured in the promotional video (not the first one, but the second one). Actually, I think he is the only male character in the show... |
