You were hoping for an akagi/death note like anime from a gonzo show with moeblobs? Interesting...
Moeblob shows aren't for everyone. They're an acquired taste. Like coffee. But Saki did have it's share of mahjong play. One particular round lasted 5 eps. Three quarters of the show took place during a mahjong match. The way you make it sound, it's as if every other episode was a beach episode.
To each his own I guess.
As an avid mahjong player, and given the current crop of mahjong anime that exists, I thought it was a refreshing change of pace.

Your quote from another thread:
--- Quote ---As a side note, I enjoy ecchi in animes
--- End quote ---
::)
Saki is on the low end of the ecchi spectrum. Not even close to full blown ecchi shows like queens blade, or Rosario+Vampire. Saki did have a lot of moe-blob yuri. Perhaps that is what you meant?

Yup, again, cant say I enjoyed an ecchi anime. By "ecchi anime" I mean anime with focus on ecchi, maybe saki doesnt focus on ecchi like say Rosario+Vampire, but theres more focus than say Code Geass.
My quote stating that I enjoy ecchi in anime is correct, cause I do! good examples would be Code Geass and maybe Michiko to Hatchin, animes that have ecchi in them but they don't let the ecchi have more focus than it should.
In Saki's case I felt the focus on ecchi was way bigger and that it was actually too focused on the ecchi that not enough focus was given into the Plot, while I didn't really expect much the plot was overall boring, cliche, and very predictable, and I think that if the studio tried to work more on the plot instead of the ecchi elements, I might've liked the anime better.
tl;dr - I like ecchi in animes, don't like it when the focus on the ecchi comes instead of plot, characters etc..
Edit: about the part concerning "Moe-Blob" while I'm not 100% sure I know what it is, if it is what I think it is, I consider that as ecchi even if its not ecchi per se.

Kudos for you :]
as for the second season, as l said earlier, you should patiently wait, they have projects to follow, just sign up for newsletters l supose, l waited my share of time for Slayers, and wasn't entirely dissapointed as l only wanted to see more Lina Inverse, and was rewarded for it, l think they know ppl want to see S2 of Saki, give them time to do their work and they wil lrewards patient fans.

"Taste" is a word that defines someones like or dislike. Basically, someones opinion. I think half of Japan would disagree with you given the popularity there of moeblob shows like Sora no Oto and K-On. If refusing to accept stuff works, let me know. I want to refuse gravity first and foremost.
