I don't quite believe that the teacher is ignorant and stupid. On the contrary, those kind of people like her actually know what's the real problem here but they hide behind it anyway. They encourage the already bad situation, don't wanna get involved too much with playing sweet words trying to protect their own skin when afterwards they're asked in terms of the situation they play a victim. The teacher ain't any better than the bullies. Ugh, repulsive creatures.

You don't sound any different than Kiriyama. :D
Well, I was also irritated. Just a tad bit. But that made the match entertaining to watch.

I liked this episode a lot more :D A bit lighter but very fun to watch. Akari was great in this episode! Can my ship for Rei/Akari sail now?! :P Plus making Rei think "bad thoughts" ... hue hue ;3 The Shogi game was great to watch, the sound effects really put me into it. Although yeah, even as Rei was raging I was thinking that they were similar too LOL XD Poor Rei just doesn't want to admit it ... ah Hacchi, I wouldn't mind seeing you again :P Still seems like Rei's gonna go to the finals and face Nikaidou?! :O Seems like their friendship has grown stronger as well :D

What is going on?! The first season was more focused on shogi, while now I feel like its all driving towards being romance-teaser-centric. The animation sequences are different as well. Flashes of watercolor pictures and solid colored short comedy inserts. I don't know if their budget went up or down.
I am struggling with lack of consistency and overuse of sound effects YAH!!

Yet I love how the sun / moon is always animated the same with radiating lines.

I totally agree. There are both absolutely fantastic and downright horrid teachers out there.

Once again: the teacher is not ignorant or stupid. She fears that all blame for bullying will be put on her, so she either has to deal with annoyed parents or with the school higher ups or even get fired. It does not make here any better as a character. Just that you have the wrong impression about why she tries to meke all the case slide and put the blame on victims.

And we're back to the shogi. Which I'd missed even more than I realized. This show's good at slice of life. But it's the shogi that sets it apart. And a big part of what gives it an overall arc. This episode opted to bring in a new mostly silent challenger. And there was something kind of brilliant about his antics. I found it fascinating that since obviously you can't talk during a match. To annoy people through noise making is a strategy some employ. His thumping and hemming and hawing was pretty annoying. Even just to watch. This episode also did a good job showing the shogi match. There were quite a few places I was able to follow their showdown. And like the show does at its best. It seemed to reflect their personalities in how they played the game. Can't wait for more shogi now. Though we need a conclusion to Hina's arc of course.

Great episode though the second part was kinda not my thing but hey this show is about a shogi player, anyway, that teacher needs to be raped to teach her some basic sense.


Rape doesn't teach people sense, don't say things like that, even as a joke. There are some people out there who are so messed up they actually think like that.

She deserves to lose her job for participating in the bullying of one of her students (yes, encouraging the victim to blame themselves is part of the bullying process) and possibly to get charged with whatever the Japanese equivalent of being an accessory is to any crimes committed by the main bullies during the course of their bullying (criminal damage, assault, criminal harassment, etc. but again, I don't know Japanese law).

That Hachiya guy was really annoying with those bad habits, I'm glad he lost. It seems he has taken a liking to Rei, poor him he has to put with that agitated guy. Any ways great ep with lots of emotions and humor.

Hina's homeroom teacher really clenched up like "God, why do I have to do my job? Just figure out yourself." What a bitch.

I don't think it's fair at all to compare Rei to that weird Tourettes motherfucker.

Amazing first half but I found the shogi match quite boring; maybe I was too tired, idk. Rei's opponent was super annoying, that's for sure.

Poor Hina. I hope Akari asks her aunt for help and she destroys that teacher (in a discussion)

A bit of a slower and more "calm" episode than what we have gotten recently, which was nice. I don't know how much longer I could have been angry. I would like to say before I start being positive that the teacher's stupidity is truly astonishing. Telling the bullied student to be better at "cooperating"? Are you fucking kidding me? If you are too afraid to get involved, then don't get involved in the first place. It's obvious you know what's going on, so someone of your age should have made the connection that the shit you were spewing helped nobody. I understand not every teacher can be as awesome as Hayashida, but this teacher doesn't even pass the mark as a human being, much less an educator.

The mangaka doesn't know how to stop nosebleeds, I guess. Not only do you want the nose to go out, not back in, but who needs 20 minutes to stop a nosebleed? I've been getting them my entire life and they never take that long... I don't even play shogi (or chess, go, etc.) and this Hachiya guy was getting on my nerves. Not sure where they got Rei believing the world revolves around him from. He's literally trying to raise $20,000 to help Hina out. For someone as young as him, that's about as selfless as it gets. I gotchu, Rei. Rei got to the finals! Yes! Wonder if we will see Nikaidou there too. There was a pretty large focus on shogi this time around, which I didn't mind, of course. Wonder if Hina's struggles will take a backburner as Rei tries to raise money. We'll have to see.

Omg that idiot teacher, I know being ignorant about a situation is a thing, but like why blame someone who is clearly the victim for something that is clearly not their fault, that isn't being ignorant anymore but just being dumb

Rei has changed quite a bit, voicing that the sisters can count on him and even saying to Nikaidou that he will be fine

I can totally get when people go mental, how could you not with a teacher like that?

I'd have turned into one of those parents from GTO trying to fire her.

I would definitely lose to Subaru, no way I'd be able to stay calm with all those noises.

A bit of a lighthearted second half but the first half is simply great. Hina's teacher is so relatable to the incompetence most adults have in these types of situations, really makes me feel for her. Akari and Rei's talk on the bridge was great as well.

Yet another 5/5, this is coming on the longest a season has maintained 5/5 episodes for me (owarimongatari s2 went 7, madoka magica went 8) so it's in pretty good company lol

Rewatch here:

Having Gotou for a father would've been so useful in this scenario, since he'd just Johan-Liebert them with his sharp tongue. Rei's internal monologue felt so foreign, but it interlinked incredibly well with what's going on with Hina.

Lel Hachiya and Kiriyama visa-versa. No different between them. Seems bully arc take so long but Hina did the rest so well and she is strong to fight them. Glad Takahashi also backup her.

Eh?.. Rei never had blood going from nose?.. I had it several times, really.. Well, more in child-teen years, I guess.. But I'm not sure, why not in older years.. There are several reasons for that, I guess..
lol, Harunobu petting dog on his lap like that looks like evil planner parody, who are usually petting their cat.. ;P
Eh?.. He doesn't think about you as opponent with his behavior?.. Well.. Maybe it could be so.. Or maybe he's exactly provoking you, and it's his tactic.. Rather than just neglecting opponent.. But who knows, I guess.. Too little info.. Maybe it's both things at the same time.. Like him being by nature more irritable and expressing it in his body and stuff.. As well as it sometimes helping him with opponents, as it irritates them..

I'm compelled to say that this series deserves more credit for its ability to introduce interesting one-off characters into the fray. Hachiya is a massive pain in the ass, but he left an impression and didn't feel like a plot device at all.

My impression of the teacher just keeps getting worse. I had a slight hope that she would have a serious discussion in the teacher's room but no, the only thing she could say was "Get Along". Plz have her fired.
