Saki: The Nationals

Saki: The Nationals

Introduction

Saki Miyanaga, along with the rest of Kiyosumi High School's mahjong team, proceeds to the national level of the Interhigh Mahjong Championship. However, reaching the top will prove difficult as she faces opponents on par with and, quite possibly, exceeding her skills. Even so, she refuses to back down, vowing to stop at nothing to fulfill her goal: to see her sister face-to-face once more. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

First review on MAL, apologies for the quality or lack thereof. I heard of Saki through a friend I've met on here, and decided to check out the series. I know absolutely nothing about the game of mahjong, but that didn't detract me from giving this series a shot. I watched all components of the series in release order and while some were quite good, others faltered in certain areas. Story: 7 Saki Zenkoku-hen focuses on the main cast's ascension towards the highly coveted high school national mahjong championship. The premise is solid. A high school club team's wish to succeed in a popular game. If you've watched the main season of Saki (which you definitely should before touching this), then you'd be well versed in the main cast's characters. While I really enjoyed the main season, howe…

I will start by saying that this season is way better than season 1. They managed to focus more on the characters and display their passion and love for Mahjong during these 13 episodes in a beautiful and brilliant concept. The usual fanservice and generic plot that wasted a lot of time in season 1 is no longer present and the characters manage to shine in a good way during the Mahjong games. The story as for those who have seen the first season moves on to the big stage The Mahjong High School Nationals were our 5 girls from Kyousumi must face new challanges and stronger opponents. The Mahjong games are better and more creative and the outcome is unpredictable. The tension is built up in each match and released at the perfect moment and the enjoyment is guaranteed from the first episode…

Hmm, I am particularly vexed at what I saw at Saki: Nationals. However, I'd be best to practice prudence and avoid spilling some spoilers. As usual, I'll start in my usual review format. Story is somewhat mouthwatering. It's the nationals, folks! As a direct sequel to the 2009 prequel. There's a lot of directive-ness and I was so glad that even after a long wait, a seemingly closure is somewhat reasonable to expect. Though, that is with regards to the adaptation reference. I am not particularly a fan of Saki manga and I only saw some chapters whenever I whimsically browse for randoms and this is the case why I ignorantly set a high expectation from the very first episode which is personally aggravating. I had no idea that was it all can offer. Well, but in regards to the content, I am fa…

Saki Nationals – continuing from the prequel known as ‘Saki’ highlights the national arc of competitors as they fight with pride. But to trace back a bit, you might be asking yourself the question: why should I continue to watch Saki? After all, it’s about mahjong, a Chinese game involving four people sitting in a chair moving little board pieces. But to see through this setup is easy once you get into the show as Japan has transformed the mahjong into an art. A beautiful art that requires innovative minds, guts, and skill to surpass the limits of yourself. Basing off the manga of the same name, Saki Nationals details the events of Kiyosumi team at the National tournament, a prestigious event held to test the limits of the players. Of the schools selected includes Miyamori, Eisui All-Girl…
