Doesn't really count as an RPG, though. =P <b>@ Anonymous</b> Haha, actually that's quite a good analogy. What does that make Koromo, though? She's wearing cloth armor, but also wielding a huge 2-handed melee weapon, and apparently has giant magic demon arms. Come to think of it, Koromo is pretty dang OP even in this fantasy RPG world! <b>@ Sergio</b> If anything, the random battle scenes make the mahjong seem even more awesome. Just like in Akagi or Kaiji, where Fukumoto (the manga author) would make these ridiculous gambling analogies that involved people sinking in quicksand or being chased by demons or whatever. Good stuff, I love it. <b>@ Brutain</b> A friend of mine was watching an episode recently and didn't understand the symbolism of the energy shield. I was shocked, but I figured if he didn't catch that subtlety maybe there were others who hadn't as well. Good to know I was able to educate at least one person! :) <b>@ J$</b> I'm sure there eventually will be a Saki mahjong game, probably for the DS or PSP I imagine. Back when Akagi aired there was a GBA mahjong title that featured the Akagi cast. When you factor in all the cute girls and yuri action, I'm sure a Saki themed mahjong game would be a smash hit, @ Panther

Haha, actually that’s quite a good analogy. What does that make Koromo, though? She’s wearing cloth armor, but also wielding a huge 2-handed melee weapon, and apparently has giant magic demon arms.

I'm hooked >.< Though seriously...the world wouldn't benefit from more Saki... The concept is hilarious though...just imagine what would happen if they would apply these techniques to express the 'awesome st00f' going on in a park for the elderly... Massive medieval battles and great slaughter over at the chess tables... Endless tests of skill at the Pétanque fields and fierce contests of will at the 'duck-staring' benches. In the end it's just a whole lot of ruckus for a bunch of people who play a silly game. It's quite amazing that they succeed at drawing you in...making you feel like anything actually 'matters' It’s so brainless…so predictable… and so shamelessly over the top it might actually cause nausea…

I love how you got the shot of those ridiculous shadow hands/wings coming out of Amae. Just to throw it out there, i would settle for a saki-themed mahjong game...period. Even if it was just mahjong. speaking of nanoha that runic shield, even if it is a 1-pin looks alot like their shields!

The shield is the 1-pin! Thanks for pointing that out. This anime cracks me up. I would totally watch an action anime based of this. Ha! The shield is the 1-pin! Thanks for pointing that out.

That's what I love about Saki, it doesn't make any sense. RPG battles or yuri don't seem to be related with a board game such as mahjong, but hey, im not gonna complain By the way, what was the name of that mahjong eroge?

So in a sense you already had something like a RPG out. Saki was adapted into a mahjong eroge (read: Nodoka’s fully revealed tits) before this.
