Akagi: An epic saga of Mahjong and angular faces

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I would write a proper review (actually, I wouldn’t, but whatever) but half of the show was lost on me since I didn’t read the TL notes and I don’t know how to play Mahjong. But despite that the show got by with good tension and cliff-hangers. I probably wouldn’t watch it again unless I learned how to play Mahjong for some random reason. I mostly watch this kind of stuff for the novelty of it all, anyway.

But hey, it has very awkward narration by Toru Furuya where he tries so hard not to sound like Amuro Ray but still sounds like Amuro Ray except with a giant beam saber stuck up his arse.

Anyway, time to watch Shana then maybe draw a comic but I have a class at 8:30 and if I want decent sleep I should probably turn in before/at 12.

When I get bored between episodes of obscure anime, I google my name to see if anyone has said funny things about me. I usually come out with nothing, but just now I found this. Apparently it came from /a/

>>8987598 >>8987530 >>8987458 Fuck off wildarmsheero … Oh by all means no, but it couldn’t hurt reiterating what a ronrey loser wildarmsheero is. …”

Unfortunately the thread is gone and it wasn’t cached, so I can only wonder. It seems someone was masquerading as me though, since I was a told to fuck off and I don’t even browse 4chan, let alone post there. Anyone know the thread in question or did it disappear all too fast? I wanna know!

Also, Akagi is pretty great. I get lost in all the Mahjong terms, and can’t follow the copious notes that appear on-screen, but it’s all a good time. Going to try to get up to at least episode 5 tonight, and then maybe fit in another Devil Hunter Yohko episode. It’s going to be nothing but oldies for a while, considering how weak this season is.

Riichi!
