| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ginko's pride :o Looks like Ai Yashajin is back and face off against Keika in timed shogi match. The other Ai seems to be more concentrated more than ever to prove herself. I think she improved since we've last seen her in a match. Might be the most serious episode yet so far. Little Keika is adorable as hell. She's still chasing her dream! |

| There were some drama, and some intense match with magical power, some emotional feeling between Keika and Ginko. Loli Keika were cute as well. Even if Yaichi said like that I'm quite sure he still clueless and dense, about that think to take responsibility in end . |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Nice to see Keika's sense of determination through her younger self... At her final year being a shogi player, being NOW able to go forth towards her goal with the matches between Yashajin and Hinatsuru with an unexpected power never seen before. The most serious and intense episode yet, and Keika has redeemed herself through and through. |

| Yachi turning the tides of that match though was pretty interesting. Keika deciding to enlist Ginko's help was something to be expected. The rise of Yachi and Ginko and the appearances of the two Ai's must really put pressure on Keika. Ginko's accessment of Yachi sure was high though. It was nice to see that Ginko's words did get through to Keika though as her victory over Ai was amazing. Keika's match against Ai Hinatsuru though sure was a fierce one but it was nice seeing her regain her former spirit though. An interesting episode that provided great insight into Keika's past while also allowing her to break out of her wall in the present. Its nice that Keika decided to remain though. That final scene was cute. |

| You know i didn't like Keika before too much...but this episode completely turned it around. I felt so bad for her, she didn't show much emotion, wanted to force being a female professional while forgetting her love for shogi. Seeing her yell near the end of the match with Ai was a great moment where i finally see her real human side. Ginko together with her is also a treat, they are great friends. Best episode. |
| Maybe i just forgot but those feeling came out of nowhere ? Got hit like a RKO wasn't sure if they were serious lol |
 |
| Best episode so far simply because of Keika. I felt bad for her when she lost, but that didn't mean she was going to stop playing shogi. The last scene with her father was emotional. Second Ai got a good lesson and first Ai gained more confidence in herself. |
 |
| My dude got cucked by a board game. MC might have just taken the biggest L this season. |
 |
| Red Ai getting rekt feels good XD Yaichi wins and Keika regains her love of shogi, she still loses but will fight on. |
 |
| Episode 7 was an incredibly emotional, intense episode. The backstory of Keika and her determination and Ai's in their shogi match made a conflict that made me root for both characters. Every move done in the match felt like it greatly mattered. I have to admit, I did shed a tear after the loss of the match had come. This episode convinced me that shogi can be a great method of storytelling that delivers tension, emotion, and communication with the complexity of shogi playstyles and strategies. I hope I get to see more action/mentoring from Ginko, as her advice to Keika struck a powerful chord within my inner self. I am so glad that I am following this amazing anime. Ryou's Work is Never Done is such an underrated gem! |
 |
| the best episode so far and the most emotional one Keika finally find her love on shogi again |

| I really liked the focus on Keika as a character in this episode, and also cause the adversity she faced throughout her life is relatable to most of us...like, legitimately, she's a representation of most of us eal life people who don't have special and/or pure talent and abilities to carry us through, so we have to muster up sheer motivation, will, and courage to work hard for our goals. |
 |
| this was one of the better episodes of the season, nice, Calm refresher. |
 |
| This show is so much better without pedo pandering. Now MC just needs to make sure loli becomes a pro and he can get himself a hot wife and stay in shogi business instead. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Finally updated my post :v Anyways that was the most impressive and fun episode as of yet for me. Keika's conversation with the Ryuuou at the end was cute as well. I wonder how serious she was about that lol |
|
| What a stellar episode. Possibly the best one yet. I really had a soft spot for Keika, it looks like I got my wish of her getting more screen time. Watching Keika strive and fight for her dreams is really inspiring. Luckily Ginko was able to identify what was wrong with her Shogi style. The letter was a nice touch, it helped give Keika more confidence in herself. I just hate the fact that she lost. Hoping she gets another chance soon. Looks like another one is added to the harem. Keika is fine as hell, it sounded as though this was almost a legit confession. |
| ... well, to an extend, they did try to show us the board. |
| On a personal level, it annoys me how many people are just writing off the series early as just "trash lolicon bait" series....this series actually takes the incentive to give good character development while still providing the funny "lolicon" cliches without actually forcing it down our throats, imo. |
|
| That old hag Keika refused the dragon “respect”. 20 years later she gonna regret it so much for sure lmao |
 |
| Man this episode made me literally tear up. Keika is such a great character and I felt so bad for her trying so hard to advance and create a career out of Shogi, something she spent her whole life on. For all the people bashing the series for having no substance finally have one of the parts animated this series has won awards for. Yeah there are lolis and jokes but there is real heart with this series too. |
 |
| That was one of the best episodes so far, it's great that the anime doesn't only focus on the MC and it goes around checking other people's feeling and stories. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| they got some sexy ass nails dat ass dat ass again XD |
  |
| Poor Yaichi. He got rejected twice by the same girl in just so few episodes. The dude is trying not to go after lolis but every door around him is closing. ... |
| This was actually somewhat touching of an episode. I honestly thought Keika was going to win both her matches. I'm glad that she decided to stick with it even if she can't become a pro. No loli harem but I'm sure that'll be back next week lul. |
| MC definitely likes mature women... ^_^ |
 |
| Best episode so far, without a doubt. Loved it. |
  |
| Yaichi's been learning from Ai as well, I guess. ^_^ Poor Keika really is suffering... But getting better now, with more confidence, even when going as far as giving herself no room to back down anymore. Well, and going back on her word anyway, but that's just how much she loves shogi after all. A great match against Ai, and she certainly would have made it against anyone else in the group, so there's clearly still a future for her in this game. Yaichi sure likes to promise people to marry them, though... |
 |
| Well,if that didn't make you tear up,I sure as hell don't know what will! And for your info,yes,yes I did ;) |
 |
| Didn't expect a super serious episode but Keika deserved some more screen time so I don't mind. |
| Poor Ryuuou, got won over by Shogi. Well he does have the two Ais, Ginko, and Char. He finally beat that smug bastard. And it feels good. |
| My 2 best girls here wants to be Yaichi's wife. Lolis and (busty)onee-sans are really the best. Sorry Ginko but 1st Ai and Keika are better than you for now lol. Better make a comeback now, girl. |

| Am i the only one who was rooting for Keiko like there was no tomorrow? YES YES DESTROY THOSE LOLIS, EAT THEM ALIVE, take out their intestines and eat their flesh and then cook the things you took out. Leave no bone alive. Hahaha im kidding guys sorry if i triggered any loli fans here but lets be real. GET FUCKING REKT AI and her fans. Get destroyeeed. Keika was so serious and collected, not to mention her soul-crushing nature and hey eyes of a WINNER, thats how a winner looks like. Have more confidence Keiko and DESTOY those lolis and all their fans. YES yes yes tsundere Ai ADMIT YOUR DEFEAT, bow to the queen. YOU ARE NOTHING to her, you are just a warmup for a real Ai Anyway but for real tho it was the best episode of this shitshow yet. Just the sheer execution was on top. Everything from start to the end and somehow we got 1 full episode dedicated to Keiko only and it was enough to tell her story, amazing. |
| I guess we can assume that Yaichi legitimately like Keika then. It was already seemingly implied the first time, but there was still a question of whether or not they were just joking with each other. Seems pretty clear this time around that Yaichi was definitely not kidding. He started blushing and was the most excited mother fucker on the planet when given the possible opportunity to marry Keika. Now that makes me wonder what Keika's true feelings are. She did say she liked him, but then said that he was second in her heart behind shogi. So since shogi isnt actually a person, does that mean that when the time comes were she focuses on things other than shogi, like her love life and settling down, that she'll love Yaichi too? I'd honestly be ok with that, since I really dont care for Ginko in the slightest. And seeing as how even though he has his "harem" going on, that would potentially be the forced pairing, and I think the Yaichi x Keika pair breaks from that traditional mold in a good way. Plus the younger boy/older girl coupling is definitely on the rare side. You dont really remember because everyone looks young, but Yaichi is 16 and Keika is 25. Hey at least in the worst case scenario Yaichi has a potential forced marriage with Ai, and declared Char as his bride as backups. Both still better than Ginko. Will probably be hotter than her too when they reach legal age. |
| Best outcome!! While I find the series a bit mediocre compared to the likes of Yuru Camp, A place further than the universe... this episode is satisfying. |
| What a very good and touching episode dedicated for Keika! The OST really hits me on this one: on the battle shogi part and the end part going to the ED! 5/5. |
 |
| An episode for Keika-san, she finally got good, and managed to finally get some well deserved screen time. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

| I thought people said that the drama in March comes in like a Lion was autistic? I love 3-gatsu, but if anything is autistic, then it's this episode right here. What was even the point of this fucking episode?! Drama in this episode: Annoying as hell because they kept beating us over the head with it, pointless/ lacked thematic depth or any logic for that matter, didn't make sense in context with the episode (making it feel like a long-ass tangent before we realized that the episode was already over), and just plain melodramatic. I'm not sure if I'm being redundant, but if I am, then that's how it felt to me this episode, having the same illogical idea being spit in my face by a lolicon. The only thing I got out of this episode was that the Ryou is another Jesus-kun rip-off, who is apparently from another dimension or planet or something, and can bend the rules of shogi because he is such a genius at it the game. If that was the case, then why the hell did he have a problem with the gay dude last episode!!!!!! This author is so fucking superficial, it's disgusting. I've already broken down how lazy and half-assed Yaichi was written in previous episode discussions, but I swear, this... Did no one learn from the mistakes that SAO made? The only other thing I got out of it was that apparently, Yaichi may be into older women- though that doesn't disprove anything about his previously implied sexual proclivities. I don't even care about Keika(?). She appeared only a few times throughout the show, never gave us any memorable dialogue, and her ark this episode was so forced that I wanted to throw up. They didn't even wrap it up right- if the author wanted to create a meaningful character ark for her (even if the rest of it would still be flawed), then she should have won against Ai, instead of admitting defeat. Sure, she says that she will try again next time, but that's not even the point- she wants to be a female professional. Even if she was on the brink of losing- and she clearly wasn't thanks to how the match unfolded in the comments made by Yaichi, Ginko, Ai, and Keika herself, she should have scrambled her entire head to defeat this 9-year old girl that shouldn't have enough experience yet no matter how talented she is. Experience trumps talent, but instead, this episode seems to say the opposite upsidedown- that you should pity those that don't have talent, but hope they get better if they keep trying? You see how the logic circled in on itself? This is what happens when you half-ass an emotional ark. This episode was the worst episode thus far. Absolute bullshit. 1/5. I can't believe there's no one else calling this series out for its bullcrap- not that I can blame them because they probably already dropped the show by now, or they aren't even bothering to participate with the discussions. |

Hey, I only voiced minor concerns in the first two weeks as I was really interested in the show. Besides, if you don't feel like reading my posts every week, no one is stopping you from not reading them. Also, just because I drop the f-bomb a few times and I voice my frustrations, it doesn't make it raging hate. I literally only started to hate it this week and even so, nothing I said wasn't justified, so I don't see your point. Everyone has their own opinions, and I am giving this show my time to voice those opinions, that is all. |
