Saki Episode of Side A is a popular anime series that revolves around the game of mahjong. Produced by Studio Gokumi, this show is a spinoff of the original Saki anime series and is based on the manga of the same name. The show premiered on TV Tokyo in 2012 and has since gained a great deal of popularity among fans of the mahjong genre.

The story of Saki Episode of Side A is set in a high school in Nagano, Japan. The protagonist of the show is a shy and introverted girl named Shizuno Takakamo, who joins the school's mahjong club after being persuaded by her childhood friend, Saki Miyanaga. Although Shizuno is initially hesitant to join the club, she soon discovers that she has a natural talent for the game and becomes an integral part of the team.

The mahjong club at Shizuno's school is not like any other club. It has a unique play style, which is known as 'Saki style'. This style is based on the strengths of each individual player, and it allows them to synchronize their play styles to create a powerful team strategy. Shizuno quickly adapts to this style of play and becomes an essential player on the team.

The show is primarily focused on the mahjong matches that the school team plays against other schools in the region. Each match is intense, and the tension is heightened by the fact that the outcomes of these matches have a direct impact on the school's standing in the tournament. The mahjong matches are visually stunning, and the show's animation does an excellent job of depicting the thrill and excitement of each game.

One of the strengths of Saki Episode of Side A is its characters. Each character in the show is unique and has their own backstory, which makes the show much more engaging than other anime in the genre. The main characters of the show, including Shizuno, Saki, Nodoka Haramura, and Ako Atarashi, all have their own distinct personalities and quirks. The way that these characters interact with each other and with the other teams in the tournament is a significant part of what makes this show so enjoyable to watch.

Despite being a show about mahjong, Saki Episode of Side A has a surprising amount of depth. The show delves into complex themes like teamwork, trust, and personal growth. The characters in the show have to learn to work together as a team and overcome their individual weaknesses to succeed. This aspect of the show is particularly well-done, and it gives the series a lot of heart.

Overall, Saki Episode of Side A is an excellent anime series that is worth watching for fans of the mahjong genre. Although it is a spinoff of the original Saki series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone show, and viewers do not need to have seen the original series to understand what is going on. With its great animation, deep characters, and engaging mahjong matches, Saki Episode of Side A is a must-see for anime fans who want something a bit different.

Saki Episode of Side A is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (16 episodes). The series first aired on April 8, 2012.
