While you can just about get away with watching achiga-hen without knowing the main series, I very strongly advise you to watch the first series before you watch this.

I almost got tears in my eyes, subarashii! Railgun and Saki in one week.. there are indeed surprises left in this world. fuck yeah.


Next year -
Railgun 2
Saki 2 (achiga hen is spinoff so not counted)
Yuru Yuri 3 (I am sure it will come)
Madoka movie 3

Yuri paradise in 2013 !!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I didn't really expect a new Saki would released that soon after Achiga-hen.

Hmm.. 4 years of waiting and finally we hear about a new Saki, haha it's feel like that time flew really fast.

-_. Achiga-hen was made by the same people as the first season and on the same production values. Just that manga itself is really rushed. In the anime they even add some more content. So it's really stupid to blame the studio here.


I heard another team was on Achiga-hen.

All three series have the same staff members. Gonzo's fifth studio worked on the original series. When Gonzo got into financial trouble and went into restructuring, the fifth studio staff left Gonzo and formed Studio Gokumi. Gokumi is now animating both Achiga-hen and Zenkoku-hen. The rights to the manga belong to Square Enix and the anime belongs to TV Tokyo, not Gonzo. That's why it seems as if the animation production team changed.

If it's 12 episodes then it won't cover the semi-finals.

And Achiga-hen info is here: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=510213

I don't get it, sequel or prequel? It says prequel as the relation, it says sequel in the synopsis.
It is the sequel to Saki. "Prequel: Saki" indicates that it's (Saki: Zenkoku-hen's) prequel is Saki.

For me, interesting character development, a strong (and overpowered), unrefined MC since the beginning of the anime, mesmerizing gameplay.. just something for mahjong fans or people interested in eastern games.. like Chihayafuru with Karuta

Besides what jmal said (which I agree fully), one thing to bear in mind is that it is not really about mahjong and most probably you won't learn much about the game in the anime. The mahjong match is like close combat fighting on the line of Dragonball or Bleach, only that it is done by an all-girl cast (no boy appears -- perhaps you should bear this in mind). This over-the-top presentation of mahjong games, combined with the intriguing interactions of the characters (which are like Strike Witches in case that can give you some hint), all done at a very good technical standard, is what I would say the main attraction of SAKI.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That's not quite true. There's Kyoutarou, Hagiyoshi, the guy who does the announcements... and a few other nameless opponents of Kyoutarou's shown briefly in the individuals, and Nanpo-pro, and the guys in the cafe. And the fathers of both Saki and Nodoka. And the student congress vice president.

Compared to Achiga-hen, the main series is teeming with male characters.

Actually I should have said no guy appears much more than an extra ... But then I would admit that all the guys in the show are effectively gone in my memory. The girls and their interactions are so impressive that I can hardly remember those guys....

I guess the same will happen to me when I recall the show Girls und Panzer....

Smiley face meant I was being sarcastic. He's a decent enough guy, but the most amusing thing about him is watching him be brushed aside in the few scenes he gets.

Being the buttmonkey/Kyoutarou is suffering.

I hope this air in 2014.. I'm huge fan of Saki and I dont think quarterfinals only will be enough.. they should animate both quarter&semi..

side B's quarterfinals are the weakest in the series imo
semifinal looks promising though

I'm thinking it'll just cover the training camp and the quarters.
Then a 3rd season for the semi's, then a 4th season for the finals. Or the might combine those in a 2-cour 3rd season. Something along those lines.

I doubt the semi's would have been done before 2014 even if she hadn't gone hiatus. With only ~18-20 chapters per year.
