Gonzo No Longer Credited on Saki Animation Production
Humberto SaabedraAccording to the ever reliable 2channel, the latest episode of the Saki mahjong anime no longer credits Gonzo with animation production, with studio Picture Magic being credited for animation production and Gonzo Studio #5 being credited for production assistance.

Additionally, the opening sequence sponsor/production roll has removed all references to Gonzo, as the Animation Production entry has been removed from the sequence entirely. This follows Gonzo’s prior statements made last year that it would reduce its production output from eight shows to four before suffering further losses last Spring, leading to a complete restructuring and consolidation of its subsidiaries under one roof in order to avoid insolvency.
