On Saturday, the February issue of Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine is publishing an interview in which director Manabu Ono reveals that the Saki Episode of Side A anime will be 16 episodes long, instead of 15 as previously planned. Ono adds that these four additional special episodes are longer than the typical episode format, so these four episodes are as long as five or six regular episodes.

Episode 13 premiered last month on the AT-X channel, and episode 14 is scheduled to premiere on AT-X on January 29 at 7:30 p.m. Crunchyroll will stream the special episodes on its website.
