So, Mahjong Hishouden: Naki no Ryuu - Hiryuu no Shou is this intriguing OVA from '91 that takes a different route than the earlier entries in the series. It's got a gritty atmosphere, pulling you into a world where crime and strategy collide in a high-stakes Mahjong game. The animation has this unique charm—it's not the smoothest, but rather raw, which adds to the tension. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it really drives home the emotional stakes. Characters are well-defined, with distinct shades of morality. It’s fascinating how it expands the themes of loyalty and betrayal, especially in the context of the Mahjong culture. Just a solid piece for those who appreciate the subtleties in animated storytelling.
