updated the paragraph above to better clarify where we got the comments fromĪnother staff member had a different viewpoint on the matter, stating that the word “secretary” refers to the person in China with the most authority, the General Secretary.

This staff member speculates that it’s better to not include the word “secretary” when receiving a game license from the government to be on the safe side. However, they also mentioned that its use could be interpreted as making fun of the Chinese Communist Party. The theory being that they don’t want the word “secretary” associated with anything besides Xi Jinping.īut is “secretary” really subject to restrictions in China? When we asked staff members within Active Gaming Media (the owner of this website) who are from China and work in the game publishing department about the word, one person stated that in general, it’s a normal word that can be used without issues. Since Mahjong Soul is developed by a Chinese studio, some fans have been considering that the character’s role as a “secretary” has been a keyword flagged by Chinese censors, as the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is referred to as the General Secretary. This has caused fans to speculate about the reason for the character’s absence. She’s also very popular with fans, with the outro sequence of the anime featuring her having been viewed over 28 million times on YouTube. But some have taken notice of the omission of main cast member Chika Fujiwara.Ĭhika Fujiwara acts as the student council secretary and has been friends with Kaguya since middle school. There will also be Kaguya-Sama-themed items, making it look like an exciting event for fans.

Starting April 27, the collaboration will see Kaguya-Sama characters Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, and Kei Shirogane appear in Mahjong Soul. The original manga has over 17.5 million copies in circulation making it a massive hit.

The two have a connection but their pride won’t allow either of them to admit their love for the other as the series teases just how one will end up confessing. The series revolves around the student council at the elite Shuchiin Academy and the love story brewing between Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane, the council’s vice-president and president. Season 1 aired in 2019 and season 3 has been running since April of this year.

The Kaguya-Sama anime is based on a manga called Kaguya-Sama: Love is War created by Aka Akasaka. While the studio also published the title in China, the game was published internationally by Yostar. Jantama Pong isn't as guilty as most of these anime, it just doesn't tick enough boxes personally.Mahjong Soul is a free-to-play online mahjong game from Chinese developer Cat Food Studio. There's just something about advertisement anime in general that I truly hate, garbage like Super Cub or Dagashi Kashi, etc, there's needs to be something more if you're keep my attention, and just forcing their product onto me. There's also some dog character, another chibi female character, etc. It's mainly her doing random crap for the entire episode. The characters are forgettable except that cat girl who obviously has to end every sentence with 'nyah', because that's what cat girls do. It's not as funny, nor is it as wild, it just comes across as a cheap replica solely meant to advertise it's dumb game, which I have no interest in trying out. You can coherently follow what they're saying and doing at all times, which would be quite the feat whilst watching Teekyuu. Jantama Pong is basically Teekyuu lite though, so if Teekyuu is dialed to 11, Jantama Pong would be A lot of whacky situations happen in both short anime and while their respective activities may play out every now and then, they're usually relegated to the background. Teekyuu is to tennis as to what Jantama Pong is to Mahjong. If you've seen Teekyuu, then this will make comparisons a lot easier to understand. Jantama Pong manages to be even worse than Yatogame with all it's inane ,repetitive nonsense that it throws at the viewer. Another short that seemingly finished outta nowhere, much like Yatogame-chan this season.
