| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it's about time they actually got some shogi game going. They tried to go over the top with the shogi battles although the reality of it is that it's just a regular match. Yaichi also struggled quite a bit as it felt more like a battle of mental mind games. Charlotte got introduced this episode too. Cute girl imo. Better than the first episode. Ai's getting more annoying though, especially with her jealousy. |

|
| the game and all was good but then mom arrives and some lewd talk happens |
 |
| Char's really funny xD Also, Ai-chan's mother is a beauty :v |
 |
| Yaichi was struggling during that shogi match, but managed to win. Congrats. The girls in the training group are cute. Ai gets jealous when a girl gets too close to Yaichi. Her mother though. |
 |
| He as a pro shogi player should be offended by the mother's statement. She basically mocked shogi as a professional game and all the professional players. While talent gives a great advantage, there is something that is as important in the game—experience. That is something that her child will be denied of if she stopped her from playing. |
| So does Ginko just keep those pictures of the Loli King as Blackmail??? |
| It's not the Slates that is essential to people. What we need is... Well... A small table to share a meal... That's more than enough. That's my conclusion. The answer I've reached as the Silver King. |
| Top grade milf + top grade loli ??? This begs for some oyakodon doujinshi! STILL 10/10, STILL better than 3-gatsu no trash! |
| I think I have to start learning some Shogi basic after all, or else I'll have no idea what happen during the Shogi match. I never knew Shogi match could take that long, they really did played almost until dawn. Yaichi only win because he keep prolonging the match that cause Ayumu losing concentration.

Dude, if you really like this show then I'm really happy but I don't think it necessary to bashed another show or else this topic will full of people thrashed talk to each other again. |

| So there's zero male children that want to be his disciple? But there's an army of lolis that want his dick? Anime logic. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Ai is infecting me with a high dose of adorable. The second episode of Ryou's Work is full of lolis learning how to play shogi, and I am just disgustingly amused by it. |
 |
| The dragon beats the lance knight after an unexpected Ai boost. Ai's new shogi friends come to learn and Ai's parents disapprove :( |

She doesn't care. It's all about the monies. Typical asian parent mentality. That which does not give you a stable income is worthless. Getting at least a 98/100 is to be expected. There're so many kids getting a mental breakdown because they had gotten a 97. Seeing 15 year olds with grey hair is a common sight. And they wrap it all up as "for you own good", "that's life", while voting and putting trash in government that further turns the society into a Confucian dystopia, as if it wasn't already bad enough. |

| Omae wa mou bakuhatsu desu! |
| I completely forgot they cast Mitsuko Horie as Ai's mother, she have really great voice :) |
| As expected of Loli Shogi, it's too dangerous (*searches for hentai doujinshi.... there it is :D ) Another comedy anime that I can't stop anticipating, but I'm still curious why it was rated highly by novel critics that it got two consecutive top one ranking. |

WUT? Do you live in CHINA? KOREA? JAPAN? |
|
| With all the drama and people comparing the two series, it sure was nice to see the "1-gatsu no Dragon" posters in this episode. :D |
 |
| Char is too precious |
| Dad is such a beta lol but MC is even worse lol. I think i woulda liked the anime more if it wasnt for MC, i really cant stand him, his decision making, his personality, the things he say. Btw i was wondering is shogi really that popular amongst grade schoolers in Japan? it seems like a lot are interested in it... they even know professional shogi players. Also whenever Ai goes into KOU KOU KOU KOU KOU mode, it gets real xD Hope someone makes a meme video already |

| I want to recommend this so bad, but then it gets bogged down by the loli/ LN bullshit. There's a charm to this series, but until I pinpoint just what gets me excited when watching this series, I have to consider everything that will turn people away without giving a proper defense. 3.5/10 |

| Got a kick out of this episode, really made me laugh at the "loli king" part. |

There's no reason to defend it because there's nothing wrong with it. It has lolis and they're used as effectively as any series with them with Ai literally being the main female character. Her cuteness and antics have an effect on the MC and have so far positively affected him. |

| That kind of drama doesn't work with moeblobs. Pick either one series. And boy, was that loli sleepover a low hanging fruit. Surely parents let their gradeschoolers spend night out. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

| Hmm showing the match as a battle huh interesting. As Ryuo his match will be a learning experience whether he wins or not. Its nice that Ai is having fun facing strong opponents though. Ai's looks cute when she's sulking through. Ai really is quite competitive with her affections huh. But Yaichi regaining his motivation from seeing Ai was interesting. But man what an intense match though turning a sure defeat into an impressive victory. The training camp though was interesting though. Yaichi really did get worked up teaching the girls though. Ginko sure loves pranking Yaichi though. Its nice that her parents adapted a wait and see approach rather than take her back forcefully though. Though winning three matches is a tall order. |

I can defend the stuff I like perfectly fine, I just don't think a show literally aimed a certain audience needs to be defended for having that content. This series has loli fanservice but that's one of its main selling points for some. If people don't like it then they're obviously not part of that target audience. Loli fans need entertaining anime to watch too. |
|
| Lol, that misleading talk about tutoring. It's cliche but never gets too old. |
 |
| Eh it was an ok episode. Tbh i prefer it the main characters were just the MC and Ai but if theres gonna be more little girls wanting to be trained then idk how to feel about it. |

Fanservice is fanservice, I get that, but fanservice needs a reason for existence too and shouldn't just be convenient. My favorite anime and manga series are comprised mostly of "fanservice" heavy shows, some of the most iconic in the industry, but all of these series have substance to the plate, giving the audience something that actually has some meat to it. My point is that Ryou hasn't shown me any of its substance yet, and I have difficulty recommending the series because of it. That is all. |

The popularity of shogi among kids in Japan is rarely reported in English, but the following article and photo accompanied are for your reference. Kids set record for ‘shogi’ games - https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2012/11/20/national/kids-set-record-for-shogi-games/#.Wl1PMKjXbIU It is written in 2012. And last years number of the same tournaments exceeded it although kids' number has been declining in Japan lately. wow thanks,thats actually incredible, so many kids. I actually cant imagine so many people playing chess in the west lel |
| [quote=takodori message=53724612][quote=Hirugiku message=53724406] takodori said: Ah I forgot to answer the second question. In Japan, NHK(Japan broadcasting company) airs two shogi shows every Sunday morning except year end/beginning. One is a 30 minutes long show of information and lecture about shogi, and the other is a professional tournament which is one hour and a half show. And Nico Nico Douga airs more than 100 professional games on live per year which can accessible even from abroad(though in Japanese). And domestically AbemaTV is streaming shogi contents 24/365. It's no wonder Japanese kids can easily get to know the existence of professional shogi players through these contents. They are considered a sort of celebrity in my country. oh i see so they are like celebrities there, but arent the shogi matches last for 3 hours+ ? while the show is only hour and a half. Also can you just watch streams of the games online? Also do games have commentary? like commentary oriented for new players/kids, i doubt its interesting to watch the show without it |
