but now that you know why they didnt do a squal for the original is the reason good enough for you or not?

i suppose it is ...i don't read manga so i hardly understand the way the are structured...i guess what i am most interested in is all the stuff that was depicted in the closing of the last show...like the phone strap laying on the ground ....

what i hope in all at achiga hen that hey will have enough gap to show teru match that was in the manga but since every chapter of achiga hen is 88 or 68 pages i wont be suprise if they will show it.what do you think if each chapter of achiga hen will be so many pages they will show this match or not?by the way this first episode was cover the first chapter of the manga which was 89 pages

episode 2 was great and i cant wait for next episode where we will get to see old character from the original saki

[r-18]

you sound like a serious fan girl/guy....i just want to see what happens when saki meets her sister and know why she and nodoka were facing away from each other in the closing scene ...maybe something to do with the individual competition....like more of the +/-0 ...

Episode 2:

It was okay, playing heavily on the moe card for this episode, however I can easily seeing this pick up pace because the general setup is now complete. The older sister is the perfect excuse to have a character wear ridiculously personalized clothing. The Token mini moe is seemingly a bit tsun... tired of that stereotype

Episode 3:

Also; displaying Saki as a scary person, really? Even when dominating she never got scary...

I think that was just her being powerful - they did that kind of lightening flash in the previous series too. I don't think it was meant to make Saki look scary, just a force to be reckoned with.

Episode 3

Um, ok. That was super-speedy. Nationals already?! I figured they would drag it out again, get us really invested emotionally in another team, just to make Nationals that much more tense. I wonder if the focus will remain from this team's perspective, or if they will start having episodes from Saki's team's perspective.

Either way, I'm glad they are at Nationals and we might get some closure from series 1. Still really curious about Saki's sister...

This show is moving very fast. Too fast I think.

Episode 4

I guess they are breezing through the preliminary rounds so they can get to the Finals where the two teams will meet?

The pace is really annoying me - I don't feel any tension or anticipation. The character interactions are cliche and uninteresting. As it is only 12 eps, I'll keep watching, hoping that the final match is given the last 5 or 6 episodes and we get some good, tense mah jong.

The show moved in hyper speed until the last 3-4 episodes. There are suppose to be 3 more, but no clue when they are suppose to come. I'm really disappointed because I liked the original Saki a lot, but they rushed the beginning way too much.
