So the last time I did a post on Saki was sometime around 3 weeks back and I’ve an itch to write about it again. Why? Because it’s so awesome they take 5 weeks to play the last round of Mahjong.

Yes. This show is beginning to feel like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu’s Endless Eight arc, without the repeating scenes each week of course. While I still very much like this show because it features:

• Mahjong
• Cute Girls
• Special Effects
• Powerful Seiyuu Cast
• the occassional Yuri scenes
• the very much frequent Sweaty Thighs scenes
• Haramura Nodoka
• and Amae Koromo

Etopen. Prevents gravity from doing it’s work.

The slow moving pace of the final round of Mahjong is really annoying. Do they really need 5 episodes to show all that? That’s a whole month and more. The match started midway in Episode 15 so let’s see why it took so long.

• Episode 15. 5th Round started midway into the episode. So this is slightly understandable
• Episode 16. Amae ‘Geass-ed Up’ and trashed everyone in the 1st half of the 5th Round.

Code Geass. The Mahjong Showdown

• Episode 17. The 1st half was spent showing how sad everyone is for losing to Koromo. 2nd Half Koromo continues her Geass Dominance but at the end Saki decides to use Kaioken x4 to turn the tables around.

Saki activated Kaio-Ken. ready to take down Vegeta Koromo.

• Episode 18. The most recent episode. With Saki throwing a wrench in Koromo’s way, the rest of the other unknown players finally get some wins in the 1st half of the episode. 2nd half of the episode consisted of Saki winning with cheap wins and ending off the episode with a 3x Kang + Rinshan Kaihou.

Ok. Koromo is actually Charles Vi Britannia which makes Saki, Lelouch. :)

• Episode 19 which will air next Sunday, will more or less end this ‘mini-arc’ as there’s only 2 hands remaining. So unless the producers decided to pull a fast one to extend the 5th round of mahjon, it’ll end here, with Saki more or less winning it.

At episode 18 currently, there’s 8 more episodes to go before the season ends, so I’m predicting the Kiyosumi team (Team Saki+Nodoka) will probably head on to the Nationals around Episode 20. Clear the preliminaries by Episode 25. and in Episode 26, face off against a whole team of Pros which include Fujita, Koromo+ Saki’s Sister. SEASON 2. :D Haha.

Ok. Screenshots.

Apparently Koromo is now Natsu and no longer Lelouch.

This just looks really cool. :) My current wallpaper. You can still hear the Pung slamming against the side of the Mahjong Table.

This is not how real humans win a game in Mahjong. :( How in the world do you get 3x Kang then Tsumo so easily.

Mm. Koromo is Natsu eh. I honestly can’t wait for the Fairy Tail anime to start.

On a side note, I’ve been listening to the OP of Sora no Manimani a lot of times today and I think I’m getting addicted to it. I might just get so addicted I might start a post on it.
