Your Feelings Categories May 5, 2018
Yes, it's a good show despite being predictable. Despite not knowing a damn thing about Shogi I really enjoyed this show. You don't need to know anything about Shogi to enjoy it at all. The show provides the tools you need to follow along without being technical and boring. The story and premise is decent and it has a good cast and some funny dialogue. Despite being put in typical awkward situations with lolis the protagonist isn't some kind of pervert and only ever comments on the girls being cute. Watch it for the lolis and stay for the Shogi, it's a decent show.

This anime. Or rather, this copy-paste formulaic anime adaptation of the light novel that apparently was voted #1 in the Japan’s Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! for 2017 made me wonder if the anime industry even tries anymore. It’s 2018 and here we are, an anime adaptation based on shogi with a cast filled with questionable characters and content. I was cautiously optimistic about this show at first but upon finishing this anime, I can say that without a shadow of a doubt, Ryuunou no Oshigoto left little more than desired.
Sometimes, people say don’t judge a book by its cover. Unfortunately, that statement is hard ... Mar 26, 2018
Please note this review assumes that you have finished watching Ryuuou no Oshigoto and while care has been taken to minimise story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned.
Learning to value the bonds that a master and disciple make while playing Shogi with Ai and friends Based off a well-known light novel series of the same name Ryuuou no Oshigoto or its English title which is the Ryuo’s work is never done gives us the opportunity to look into the world of Shogi from not just a player’s perspective but also from a master’s perspective as they train ...

The Lolicon's Work is Never Done!
A story about a Shogi master (Yaichi) who begins apprenticing a young girl(Ai-chan) who is a little too fond of him. Along the way we meet a few too many other little girl characters who all seem to have some weird magnetization towards our protagonist and a couple of actual high school/adult aged characters who you'd like to imagine will be actual love interests for Yaichi over the plethora of little girls he has to choose from. The show, at its core, is about Shogi... and lolis. But supposedly it's mainly about shogi. Yaichi's struggle to figure out how to ... Jan 29, 2018
this is like black bullet but with shogi instead of an apocalyptic earth. atleast black bullet had some interesting characters. I would have enjoyed this show a lot more but they showed the loli naked in the first episode itself, which threw me off. so i could tell that this is an anime that most lolicons would enjoy.
I'm guessing more characters are on the way. i did enjoy the show in a way. the art and the animation style is pretty cool, so that is a plus. 4 episodes in and they showed us more cliche stuff that happens in the show. shogi is just ... Jan 29, 2018
Honestly, I was disappointed by Ryuuou no Oshigoto, or The Ryou's work is Never Done.
Perhaps it was because Joey The Anime Man interviewed the creator a while back? At the time, I found both Joey's views and the Author's expression of his story to be particularly fascinating, not to mention how high it made in the Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi contest a year or so ago. Bottom line, I heard a lot of things about it and I was excited, and even when the first two episodes aired, I was convinced that there had to be at least something that made it popular enough ... Mar 26, 2018
Ryuuou no Oshigoto is a controversial anime. One one hand it can be accused of being a lolicon bait and a harem (not that I mind either of those). On the other, shogi games are well made and can get really exciting.
First question that comes to mind: do you need to know shogi rules to enjoy it? Not really. I assume a person with deeper understanding of game could find something more in this anime, but as someone who barely knows basics of shogi, I didn't feel too limited by it. Show mentions many moves and strategies, but parts important to follow the story are ... Mar 15, 2018
I'll be honest, I'm probably older than most people here on this site. There comes a time in ones life where fast-paced activities and hobbies either aren't as viable or aren't as gratifying as ones that require thought and concentration. "Ah, shogi!" I thought after spotting Ryuuou no Oshigoto while scrolling through a list of currently-airing anime series. "I've always wanted to learn how to play! Maybe I should give this show a chance."
After a single episode, it became apparent that I had made a very, VERY grave mistake. This wasn't a shogi show at all... it was a loli show. My therapist had warned me ... Aug 19, 2020
Yeah, I'm thinking this is the best anime I've seen other than Boko No Pico.
First off, all of the characters are amazing and have really good values and goals. Never before have I wanted an underage girl to win a chess game! Each character seemed to have drive and passion, with valid reasons for doing so. Sadly, I can't go more in depth but trust me when I say the characters are one of the best things about the anime! Secondly, the "action" in the show is surprising. The sheer tension I got when they were playing chess was left me perplexed to why this ... Mar 27, 2018 Ryuuou no Oshigoto! or also known as The Ryuuou's Work is Never Done! or even more commonly know as straight up loli shogi. If you check the studio's past works, you'll notice that they have done two other loli-based series, one that is pretty well known, Ro-Kyu-Bu! (Loli Basketball). This with how it sounds from a general description gives off the vibe off just being another loli-centric series with shogi as a tool to just further the loli-pandering. But boy was I wrong. This show does have a focus on lolis, but also on shogi and although they do not go in-depth and explain how ... Mar 27, 2018
I feel like i shouldn't need to explain it but Shogi is not this intense or interesting !
I've seen two old people playing Shogi before and it's one of the most boring things i'v ever scene. It's more boring then being in a Hospital room by yourself without anything to entertain yourself with while you wait for the Doctor. Hell, I've even played Shogi once and i was bored to tear. While i didn't really enjoy myself when they were actually playing Shogi ( That's a pretty big negative for a show based around it) I did find myself liking the world and the characters ...

This anime he does not want to be remembered for anything other than sexualization of "lolis"
Story: 1 The anime has an extremely pig script treating you like an animal by using various expository dialogues to explain obvious things, even if you do not know "shogi" it is not here that you will learn Art: 6 The character design is well generic but well functional, the setting is nothing to much Sound: 5 In the part of sound not to nothing too the soundtracks are generic but functional and the sonoplasty decays a few times but until it is functional ...

Honestly I was very skeptical when getting into this anime, I was like "what is this ? Sangatsu no Lion for lolicon middle schoolers ? "
Truth be told Sangatsu is one of my favorite anime series I love the realistic drama, deep characters, interesting story progression I love everything about it. This anime didn't seem to have that kind of vibe so I really underestimated it. But here comes the weird part: IT DOES NOT HAVE THOSE THINGS BUT IT STILL MADE ME LOVE IT ! I don't even know why ! First episode was like "Okay I got a good chuckle but whats with the huge ... Mar 28, 2018
Ko, ko, ko, ko, ko, ko, ok enough of Ai's "Ko" moment , so an anime with a loli vibe has just finish. Shit , it kinda sounded like that Ai's is doing that woman on top straddling her seisoh is a sexual way. But, enough of that, ko, ko, ko, ko, ko, how I find this, ko, ko, ko,ko, ko:
Poor 3, Story: There is nothing like making something as simple as a Shogi to make is as exaggerated as usual, I mean, with such busy live do them Japs still give ashit about Shogi these days? Ok, so let's get back to business, ... May 5, 2018
I would first like to state this review contains some spoilers as I needed to discuss the final arc and certain scenes with characters.
Story: 5 The story is certainly not the strong point of this series. It follows a young shogi prodigy and his daily antics of being a professional shogi player and a Loli harem king. While some arcs are seemingly pointless some are rather good. For example, Keika attempting to be a professional player after so many years of trying. And the final Ryuo match where Yaichi overcomes his slump after turning away his friends. Both were rather heartwarming but still had their respective faults. However, ... Dec 22, 2020
Ryuuou no Oshigoto!, or The Ryuo's Work is Never Done! , is one of the better animes i have watched in recent times. This anime is enjoyable, It had a good story, and was really fun to watch.
Story: 9 The story follows Yaichi Kuzuryuu, an 8-dan shogi player, who holds the top title of Ryuo. After a match, he meets a young shogi enthusiast, Ai Hinatsuru. The story follows their lives after ai moves in with yaichi as his live in disciple. Art: 7 Art isnt anything special. sound: 7 sound isnt anything special. ... May 5, 2018
Honestly it's mostly underwhelming. It seemed a bit to slow for my taste, I wouldn't say it's bad just kind of meh to be honest. I plan to finish it at some point but for now (as of the time writing this review) I'm just going to put it on hold. I would say that it has its moments, and that I was interested in some of the characters but I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea. Anyone who likes some serious competitive tension mixed in with comedy frequently enough should check it out, but (at least in my opinion) it was a

I unironically enjoyed the show way too much, despite it having glaring flaws and many smaller missteps. I also give it points for novelty - if there's anything else like this out there, I haven't seen it. Not that I have looked all that hard.
The story is a sort of a romantic comedy, with pandering to male fantasies, between an eager nine-year-old shogi prodigy and her 16yo shogi master. The premise is set up with a more gratuitous and racy tone than the rest of the show has. The setup has an obvious culmination, so the slight switch in tone shouldn't be confusing. Otherwise it stays ... May 23, 2018
Another review for my fans. Wait, I don't really have any. So anyway here I go.
Dear Author, you suck at adapting your story, please die, and beg for forgiveness!!! I wanted it to be rated by me to 8 or 9 but the story was ACHING fast paced and those background characters doesn't even have a single backstory line/scene in the series, then the most crucial of all is the love story or relationship between Ginko and Yaichi didn't bloom enough to the point that they should at least kiss, ACHE you author!!! And now the original plot for chess in japan called shogi, shogi is not ... |
