Great, Underrated Anime

It's no surprise most people don't give this anime a chance when they first see it. Confusing Japanese games and subliminal jokes confuse most viewers, and it's no surprise it's not popular in America.

I'm not sure of it's popularity status in Japan, (which I'm guessing is pretty big) but I'm honestly dissapointed that it's not more known where I live. I know nothing about mahjong, but the games in the show are so exciting and adrenaline rushing, and you can't wait to see what happens next. The characters are likeable and the plot overall is quite good. Hell, there's even some sexual jokes thrown here and there (which, mind you, are hilarious.)

Overall, this is a good show. Even if you don't know much about mahjong, I'd reccomend you'd watch it for excitement and likeable characters. The dialouge can be confusing with the characters shouting out the names of mahjong moves, and in my opinion that is the low point of the show, but it's still pretty good. My favorite characters are Yuki, Saki, Hisa, Kaori, Tomoki and Toka. Reccomended if you like a lighthearted show, with very few moments taken seriously.
