Saki Anime Confirmed, From Gonzo

Phew, that's one less rumor to worry about not being entirely true. Everything that was reported last month turns out to be 100% accurate, as studio Gonzo is now confirmed to be working on a TV anime series based on Ritz Kobayashi's mahjong manga Saki. And the official website set aside at the time is now also open for clicking business. Granted, there's not much clicking to be done there yet.



The Saki anime will begin in 2009, and ANN has plenty of cast & staff details translated, for those of you interested. No point in copy-pasting them here, though, since no particular name from the production staff strikes me as notable. The mahjong playing lolis, on the other hand, do.
