so both of ya saying i should watch it?

[ShadowZeroHeart]

Well, its harem comedy, not bad entertainment, but story wise its not all too good, artstyle not the best either, but the story is quite unique, and interesting, worth a watch, but not a "MUST-WATCH" series if you ask me

P.S. if you are interested, be prepared to accept some nudity and stuff

[thelastguardian]

but the story is quite unique, and interesting, worth a watch,

I suggest reading the manga, if only for the darker side of the plot (and characters).

Just to show you, when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. No female would be that obedient to a boy for no reason; if she is, there is something wrong with her.

Why must you blame the girl? maybe its the guy that has something wrong with him?

[ainsoph9]

I think that the line of thinking is somewhat like this: If a man is all alone in the wilderness where no woman can hear him, is he still wrong? Frankly, I think that both genders should be willing to take the blame on things, but no matter how you slice the cake somebody is never going to be happy. ugh...

Everywhere I look on the internet, I cannot find a good explanation of how to play Mahjong, especially the Japanese style of it. Not only that, I cannot find any place where you can play it like they do in Saki. Could someone please explain how to play and/or give a like to where I can play it online please? Thanks!

sigh you could google it like i did: here is a flash i found for ya:

nice! I'll give it a go.

But to be honest, Japanese Mahjong is freakishly complicated if you compare it with Hong Kong Mahjong.

If you are playing just to win, Japanese Mahjong isn't the game to play, you can win with many combination, even if you miss out the minipoints and stick to the big hands.

Hk mahjong is more suited for a fun game really.

[ainsoph9]

I do not really care either way. I play chess and go sometimes on my side time. I like a good mental stretch every once in a while.

I love mahjong!

Quick overview:

Each player has a hand of 13 tiles. He or she is trying to make a hand of 4 sets of either 3-of-a-kinds or runs of 3 and a pair--however, he or she also needs a Yaku--some condition they score points off of. The more Yaku he or she has, the more points the hand is worth. The easiest Yaku are Riichi(when they call out RIIIIICHI!!! and drop the little point stick if front of their tiles), Tanyao(which doesn't use 1s, 9s, or Honors), and Fanpai(A three of a kind of the right honor).

In total, there are about 20 different Yaku(and not all variants have the same yaku. Some don't allow open tanyao or the nagashi mangan).

Saki uses pretty standard Japanese mahjong rules--except for the Japanese pro league, everyone uses pretty much the same rules.


I play on Tenhou.net(Though playing in real life is about 18 times better. It's not quite so freakishly fast paced, and you actually have time to figure out what other people are waiting on.)

Well, there you go.

If i want to play for a thinking game, i'll play Japanese Mahjong, but with my mates its good old HK Mahjong.



Plus i rather play Japanese mahjong on an automatic table with score points showing! seriously those tables seriously cool. I want one!

[ainsoph9]

Cool. Thanks!

Hmm Princess Lover seems nice and light and somehow a comedy, but since it started with a tragedy will this be a cyclic element and resurface later in the series?
