Analysing: The School Uniform
Because Kantoku is forever a perfect choice for an anime blog.
I seem to do quite a few meta posts that focus on specific aspects of the human psyche and behavior in the animanga context, so from here on, I will be prefixing such posts with the term “Analysing”. Yay for my supreme creativity.
Now, on to the main topic.
Saki Got Me Into Riichi Mahjong
If you are watching Saki: Achiga-hen, have seen the original Saki series, Akagi, Mudadzumo Naki Kaikaku, or that other mahjong anime that I forgot the name of, then you would probably know how to play Riichi (Japanese) Mahjong or have an interest in learning how.

Spring 2012 First Impressions – Saki: Achiga Chapter of Side-A
Nodocchi is back!
Back when we did the season preview for Spring 2012, my interest towards this anime called Saki was ignited. I was hesitant to watch it because I didn’t know a single thing about Reach Mahjong, and I feared that I would be alienated by all those Tsumos, Rons, and Rinshan Kaihous. But then I saw people praising Saki a lot and I just thought, “What the heck, I’m gonna watch it anyway.”
