『Saki: Zenkoku-hen』 Episode 2

Impressions of everyone

Well, that was a fanservice episode. It didn't focus on the lewd kind of fanservice(though it did have a bit of that). No, this episode was all about the awesomeness of the first season. Seeing Saki, Koromo, Fujita-pro and Touka at the same table was just great, and the same goes for the lower-tier matches too. Basically, this episode was the creators saying "Hey, remember these epic moments from Season 1? Well, it's going to get even more epic".
And I'm fine with that for now. I'm sure we'll get to the actual tournament sooner or later.

 

Well, the anime staff weren't the ones who created this part, they just animated what was already into the manga. But yeah, this is the feeling I got from this part "see this? this is regional play, wait until the nationals!", which is kinda spoiled in this version because Achiga-hen anime came first.

 

You can consider the manga author as 'the staff'. Anime is very faithful to the manga and at the same time, the scenes and characters first introduced in anime get incorporated into the manga, too. It's pretty obvious that the author is involved in the anime production.

 

Meh, training camps episodes, but this one was quite interesting, it just shows how there are bigger fishes than the monsters already thought to be invincible.
And now at last I can take a good screenshot of Touka in her overpowered mode to use as wallpaper or avatar somewhere else. In season one it just didn't have a good shot.

 

KyoutarouXButler OTP ? They seem to have alot of chance encounters...
Also more amazing towel physics! 

Another episode full of bath scenes and upcoming match hype. It feels like they turned up the fan service a notch from previous seasons. In any case, I'm excited for the tournament.

Megan's voice is way different than i thought
