Saki did so well at SaiMoe-- even if all of its characters wound up shut out of the finals , the quarter-finals were 50% Saki characters, after all --that I keep kicking myself for not having watched it and therefore not being familiar with its characters. I actually had wanted to watch it (I'm interested in mah-jongg), too. I know some of you already saw it, of course, but I think a lot of us skipped it, so when I realized that Saki is on the list of shows we have access to at Crunchyroll, I thought: why don't we watch it together?   So I'm going to post a Saki episode per day until the series ends-- that's 25 episodes, so we should finish about the week before Thanksgiving, assuming I don't miss a day here and there. Or that I decide the show is really terrible or boring and I just can't stand posting it anymore-- though I kinda doubt that. We'll see!   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" height="480" width="720"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> </param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> </param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param> <param name="quality" value="high"> </param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.crunchyroll.com/swf/StandardVideoPlayer.swf"> </param> <param name="flashvars" value="config_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchyroll.com%2Fxml%2F%3Freq%3DRpcApiVideoPlayer_GetStandardConfig%26media_id%3D524846%26video_type%3D0%26auto_play%3D0%26aff%3Daf-78579-fkru"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" quality="high" src="http://www.crunchyroll.com/swf/StandardVideoPlayer.swf" flashvars="config_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchyroll.com%2Fxml%2F%3Freq%3DRpcApiVideoPlayer_GetStandardConfig%26media_id%3D524846%26video_type%3D0%26auto_play%3D0%26aff%3Daf-78579-fkru" height="480" width="720"> </embed> </param> </object>    Okay, kids, here's the first episode. I'm going to sit down and watch it a bit later (I have to scoot off to the office now) and share my comments, so I hope you will too!
