Most people are assuming that this will be a 24~26 ep. series because there's no real graceful way to wrap the story up in the time left. It might be possible to wrap the tournament in 4 episodes, but there would have to be a second season at some point because the end of the tourney is NOT the end of the story. Saki is aiming for the nationals to resolve family issues, and Nodoka has reasons she hasn't fully explained yet. It is interesting to note that the manga-ka took 2 issues (a whole month!) off from the story. Could it be to flesh out the rest of the storyline with the anime staff? Curious indeed ... |

It's back to the Mahjong action, and Saki is instantly improved by it. I thought that the game-playing itself was quite interesting especially since this was mostly about the flow of the game, and a lot less about Yuuki just getting lucky draws off. Moreover, both Jun and Mihoko's "powers" seem to be just highly refined instincts rather than some sort of supernatural ability.
As for the comparison with Akagi; well, they're both Mahjong anime, and that's about where the resemblence ends. Saki is a sports anime at its heart, where the love of the game binds people together, and sportsmanship and earnestness are major themes. On the other hand, Akagi is more akin to gamesmanship/psychology shows like Spiral or Death Note. Quote:

Spoiler for How long of each Kiyosumi's player match (no detail spoiler):
and even if they are planning on making second season, what the point of Koromo's foreshadowing until now... - If you look at the ep.13 title in Saki ep. list of ANN, it doesn't sound like final ep. at all.... - Also, if they are going to make new ending, Making new and original mahjong game is different from making new random action scene like in Rosario Vampire, I don't think Gonzo have enough effort for this... so, It will be better to stick with original plot in Manga. .................................................. .......... This just my idea, may be it's really 13 ep.... So, Quarkboy (you are Crunchyroll's translator right?) , can you confirm about total ep. ? EDIT : Ahh..., that's ok V V Last edited by Marina2; 2009-06-03 at 05:22. |

Well, they specifically called it "2-cour". Whether or not there'd be an extra episode for DVD I don't think has been decided on yet, but it sounds like standard M.O. for a show like this lately.

Looks like the ED's not the only thing getting replaced. A new OP (still unnamed) by Little Non recently appeared in the listings. As did a Vocal Album (character songs, most likely) for the series.
Wonder what episode the new OP and ED will appear in. |
