Hm. Those two look awfully familiar.. Toki and Ryuuka?

Anyways, I hope episode 13-15 have more character development. Especially for Shizuno.. She seems so.. under powered.

Well that was the most painful arc I have ever sat through. Not to mention it was long and although Toki was cool she was not who I was supposed to be behind. It is fun to watch teams that win not teams that struggle uphill lose a lot of points and then barely win. I get so distraught watching them. I am glad it is time for someone else.

Although, from the way these episodes are going I would guess that we do not get to see the finals. This does not bother me, personally I would rather be behind Saki's team in the finals then this group. I miss some of the old people.

I couldn't find this OST anywhere (if you know what I mean) which is strange, I think. I wonder who here would be kind enough to help me track it down, perhaps with a PM?

now playing mahjong can even risk your life... Toki has been the focus of recent eps and she proves to be a really nice char to root for

and Shizu, u definitely not gonna win this^^

Toki will make it! Well, anyways this series kinda sucked imo. There was hardly any character development except Toki...

It's good to see Nodaka again though but overall, this series was average. 5/10. Going to watch the special episodes later on.

Saki's name is in the title and she was barely in this season, with 3 - 4 appearances and 2 - 3 lines? That's why you should avoid naming your series after the main character. There's so many girls in the anime that you should be able to recognize some of them!

+ Different dialects to different regions! Kudos to the all of the seiyuu's Kansai dialect.
+ 2 ED themes again. Always a great technique.
- Art style did not improved.
- Finale was about Saki's side character's supporting character: Toki. Great logic!
+ More characters and development. Love the different powa they have to offer.
- Basic BGM. Seems like the put more emphasis on the sound effects.

Achiga-hen got lots of problems. No matter who wins in the end, Teru or Achiga, it will be a no-win situation. If Teru wins, then you could say the entire point of the season was to show her strength. But if that was the case there would've been far better ways to do it. But if Teru loses, it will feel cheap since she was hyped during Saki.

Achiga-hen.

5/10

Am I the only one that can't get past the fact that Toki literally just cheats through every game. I found that funny when they were talking about it and the need to keep it a secret > > Don't care that she collapsed. Karma.

Anyway that whole seeing one....I mean two....scratch that THREE turns into the future thing didn't do it for me. Finally watching this after finishing Saki so long ago...can definitely say this was not the best but it was nice to see another storyline along the same timeline.

7/10. The cast out of original Saki is what carried this.

Pretty lovely ending I must say, all in all a pretty lovely side story and well I do wonder what the specials have to offer so with no further ado let's get to them!

Even as awesome as Teru is, the star of this match was undoubtedly Toki. Talk about pushing her sharingan eyes to the limits. Looking forward to the specials, after that Nodoka encounter I'm all revved up to see how this concludes. Teetering between a 6 or 7 so I'll see how this match plays out before casting my verdict.

My biggest fear was if Tokio was going to go blind. Glad she didn't.

I wonder why they stopped here. I know there's 4 more episodes but they're OVA's. Why the separation?

Toki going full suicide and Kuro finally moving on from keeping all the doras, these were the things needed to stop Teru's insane stomp.

This season is probably going to get a 7.5/10 from my part, I liked this match a lot but the pacing at the start was pretty terrible, time for the specials!

still love hearing Arai Satomi voice anywhere.

Also Toki looks like warai neko character and has same VA. Don't mind, love her voice. Very soothing.

Did love also the previous episode final moment. Was cool, I don't really care about mahjong, but I do love such moments or way of presentation in Anime. Make boring things or things you don't care about into a really fun and cool thing.

Also, gotta like characters being nopan.
Nodoka giant melons confuse me as always and that light/loose shirt of hers with tie between oppai doesn't make it easier. Not sure why, but her rack giant feels as it breaks immersion of this Anime. Way too huge melons.

And back to this season specifics.
Well, thought she went blind.
Also "I'm just faking, teehee" *goes rip* , was quite a gag moment.
But aside that was quite fun and dramatic match.

Also great way to wrap up, now moving up to final 4 episodes in specials.

Damn the anime change form fast pace to very slow pace, it just stuck in first round for many episodes and kuro is completely useless if toki doesn't force herself then kuro will completely crumble to dust well is good cause the sooner achiga lose the sooner saki can appear but it doesn't happen, hope the next part doesn't take to much time like this very unbearable to watch
