Keen observation by fans of nopan mahjong anime Saki has revealed that the anime is environmentally conscious enough to recycle frames from earlier episodes wherever possible, which some unkind fans have labeled a cheap cost-cutting measure by a studio on the brink of disaster.
You can see the entire comparison in terrifying detail in this huge jpg.
With Gonzo delisted from the stock exchange after narrowly avoiding bankruptcy, Shaft apparently unable to finish its episodes on time, and Kyoto Animation entirely detached from reality, it seems the mighty have truly fallen…

Fail.................
Sure is samefag around here.
Fail....
I said it before and I'll say it again.
Drippy!
Fail..... wut?
Reminds me of Gundam Seed :P
Fail..................
If the best have fallen then what will happen to the anime.
Fail........
How many times are you going to samefag in this article, kiddo?
Fail................
Oh well, no use talking to a down syndrome kid playing with his 6 buttons keyboard.
i realize this before it was posted here
but it shouldn't be a problem. dont blame those animators as lazy since they didn't get any money from you stingy downloader
Meh, seen these kind of stuffs since Bismark, to Sailormoon, to Slayers, to DBZ, .. *huge gap*.. to Ranma, to Bamboo Blade..., to..
As far I'm concerned this isn't as bad as Eureka Seven, and their recycling of scenes into the movie...
*cough*
But that's just me.
Fail... 0/10
I shed two manly tears as I read that last paragraph.
ಥ_ಥ
fail....your not kamina
3/10
Because of course only small studios reuse frames.

I'm sorry, but they are playing F@#$ING MAHJONG!!! There is no reason not to recycle footage of them sitting on their asses and staring at their tiles. Complaining about the recycled footage is on par with complaining each time a game sprite recycles its breathing animation. There's nothing going on, so its a waist to make all new animation.
Fail.... for disney
IT'S LIKE NARUTO ONLY THEY FITIN WIT MAHJONGGG! KUNG POW NO JUTSU!
Fail....7/10
Is it even fail anymore if it's 7/10 already?
Has to be 10/10
to be not fail
it's a hard call really he was almost there
All anime recycles stuff... I mean its going to happen. Unless you want them redrawing the scenes over, and over, and over again...
fail.....6/10
No I Def Didnt Fail, Anons Fail Cause There Too Scared To Make A Account. And For The Record This Show DOES SUCK.
Fail....grammar 4/10
I'm giving points now
Your keyboard does seem to have some failures, though..
I don't see what's so bad about it.. Many many animation studios over the world do the same thing.. Saves time and money. If the frame is basically going to be the same anyway why re-do it all from nothing..
im not gonna blame them, animating things is very time consuming, especially when you got a dead line you must meet, or your fucked.
I don't think this kind of thing can be avoided in a mahjong anime
I mean c'mon, they're playing a board game, you can't expect them to have multiple animations for each episode right?
just an opinion
somehow akagi had some animations :(
One reason amongst many why Akagi is fun to watch.
There's a little saying, on the planet I hail from:
"If you can make it fit the plot, you're not doing anything wrong."
Exactly. In fact, look at some of the older anime. They saved cash by panning and zooming in/out on big scenes (some still do that to this day). Gonzo is doing scene recycling (milking) the right way.
Just remember anime like Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and many many other have used recycled footage. All in order to cut cost without cutting quality. :D
Since when is it a new thing for animation to recycle frames? I mean, name me one anime in existance other then maybe a movie, that doesnt have a repeated frame.
Fail.....
Gintama
150+ episodes and never a resued sceen. Like a shot of somones expresion, or a building. Thats most impressive, and also impossible.
Sorry failing anon Gintama has reused their frame and scene numerous time, the only difference is they make fun of their recycle frame(scene)
"Entirely detached from reality"
lol
nothing really wrong with this kind of recycling unless it was similar to GSEED Destiny
It's a Gonzo!
sure is
+1
Fail.....
+2
ya know, kids, there are places on the interweb where using the same image repeatedly in different contexts is considered humorous. *cough (/b/)
