This picture sure portrays lesbian rejection. It's kind of funny because they made it seem like just that. Really, a Mahjong show doing this is pure win. I've only watched episode one but I'm going to continue soon. I hope. Good 'wank material. Related posts No related posts.

…which isn’t to say that “unique = good,” because Saki clearly ain’t that good. There were some pretty bad parts, Why is the “all-girl” school so damn bad at mahjong?  It’s insane how bad they are!  Getting owned by the loli, the ahoge girl, and that unattractive one before the big guns even come out?  PITIFUL. What really [...]

In this episode, the team is off to the Nationals!!! The tournament begins!! The focus of the media’s attention is on the last year’s champion team (Ryuumonbuchi) and runner up (Kazekoshi). But Nodoka Haramura also steals some lime light cos she was the winner of the middle school national championships! Apparently, Ms. Pro doesn’t think [...]

Steven Den Beste opines: As to the yuri, it’s all a tease. And it’s been declining. There wasn’t any of it in ep 6, for example. Well, one just has adjust one’s yuri goggle power settings and you’ll be able to detect the yuri power stronger than ever. For example, in the above left screenie, if ’strong [...]

Steve: Surprisingly, the anime that I look the least forward to turn out to be the best this week for being dramatic and exciting. How odd. I don’t know how I’m going to blog this episode but I don’t want to give a straight review because that’s boring. I am unsure. Let’s see what I [...]

Karmaburn: I dropped Saki after two episodes because I don’t know crap about mahjong so it confused the Bejeesus out of me. Now he knows how I feel about baseball shows. Only I get it worse, because there are lots of them. A game without discernable rules or purpose; I deduced that they obviously want to collect [...]

Having found myself oddly drawn to the actual mahjong playing segments of Saki thus far (despite continuing to have no real clue as to the rules of the game), I've actually been rather looking forward to the beginning of the prefectural tournament in this series, promising as it does plenty of actual mahjong action.However, it does still take half of the episode before that action starts, as we

Every Saki scene: My reaction: If I have to see Saki’s pathetic, hang-dog, self-defeating, high-school crush angst, perma-depressed face again I’m going to claw my eyes out. She’s the biggest waste of digital ink since Taiga Aisaka. Oh and for standing up Ohsugi, may a thousand beef bowls descend upon a thousand of her dresses. In other news, I don’t like killer-model Kuroha’s voice. It doesn’t strike me as very… pretty.

This latest episode of Saki really impressed me. First off, before the good part of the episode actually started I wanted to comment about the meido aspect of this episode, however then the episode went far beyond that. It wasn’t just a fan service episode with the meido costumes; it actually was one of the [...]

At first I wasn’t even going to watch this series. I know nothing of Mahjong and have a lot of stuff going on that I don’t really care to learn about it, so I figured this series wouldn’t interest me. However after a couple of the series I did pick to watch ended up being [...]

Would you rather be the fan or the penguin? There’s no need to peek. Nodoka *is* your waifu after all, Saki-chan. Still it was really cute. LOL For my eyes only! There is no place for the male gaze here. Except if it’s from beyond the fourth wall or via my own eyes!! A NEW CHALLENGER TO SAKI [...]

Steve: Saki has failed to impress me so far and I believe it will continue to be this way for the rest of the season. However, for this same reason, I’ll blog it because I like fails in my anime. I am still trying to decide whether I’ll have time to blog this though. Depending [...]

Two words to describe this episode… BLUSH GALORE!!! HAhahahaha SEriously, what more can you expect when you have a training camp at a private ONSEN retreat!? A perfect setting for some serious fanservice! I lost count of the number of times Noda-chan blushes here. hahaha Noda-chan tries to act all proper and initially refuses to wear a [...]

Saki and company's preparation for the prefectural qualifying tournament continues apace in the fifth instalment of Saki, and predictably in manages to take in two of the staple diet elements of an anime series of this nature, in the form of both a training camp and a hot springs episode.There's not really a lot else to say about this episode in all honesty - The club president does her best to

Sorry guys! I didn’t have time to blog on episode 3 so I thought I’d just jump straight to episode 4! Available here online. Nothing really happens much in the first half of the episode - though we do get a good dosage of blushes and shy glances between Saki and Nodoka - it’s all about [...]

This week’s episode takes Saki down a peg. Hisa gets a pro to secretly ambush our title chara and gf Nodoka. I’m pleased that Saki’s aura of invincibility has been broken; that re-introduces dramatic tension into the games. Yet, at the same time, I am incredulous that there are going to be numerous characters wielding [...]

Steve: They both start with an ‘H’. Got you didn’t I? Anyways, do I have to blog Saki? This week, my schedule is packed with tests and homework so I apologize ahead of time if my blog entry isn’t as funny/catchy/unique as usual. I hate writing summaries though. I won’t give you that shit. It’s [...]

After three episodes of Nodoka getting annoyed with Saki and walking out in every instalment, the end of the last episode at least found some common ground between the pairing, meaning that episode four begins with this duo of leading characters on proper, friendly terms at last. Mind you, I can't help but think that Nodoka is getting a little too... well, "excited", about this new-found
