| Loved the last 5 mins, still trying to get into the rest of the show, don't know the rules of shogi but it doesn't look like its gonna be the focus of the show at all, so thank God. |

| Some amazing boobs this episode, now I must look for the Akari doujins. |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| feel like this is the type of show i'd get bored at, but something is definitely pulling me and making it interesting. not sure what it is, because i have no idea how to play shogi, and the characters are outstanding right now. |
| I had much more fun with this episode than the previous one: I watched the first one six months ago I think but it kinda bored me. Rei's faces were funny, but his sad expression... man, I wonder what kind of life he has had so far. Seeing how Rei came to meet the sisters was interesting. Akari seems to be much more than a nice, caring person. ReinhardVonMusel said: Haha, that pair sure was unexpected. Props to her.Some amazing boobs this episode, now I must look for the Akari doujins. |
 |
| Nice episode and interactions between the characters. I have zero knowledge about the game he is playing though lol. |
 |
| Akari is sweet, too sweet! |
 |
| I'm only halfway through the episode and I had to pause to say there is something really creepy about Akari's face. She barely looks human with no lips and those dead eyes. The dress was nice and everything and she has a wonderful, sweet personality, but, GOD...that face gives me the shivers. Finished watching the entire episode and she was just plain creepy...sorry bout that....but creepy. Ok, I just read through all the other comments and realize that I am totally the only person creeped out by Akari's weird face. Go ahead and let me have it. I don't mind! (but she's still creepy looking) =D |

| I am seriously enjoying this show. Probably one of my favorites of the shows I am watching right now. It's such a complex yet relaxing show, and I love it. Momo is fucking adorable. Definitely quality imouto material. I once again love the dynamic between Rei and Akari. Good stuff, good stuff. I still have no idea how anything related to shogi works. It's kinda funny how lost I am during the shogi games. |
| I'm sorry, but it seems like there will be too much events with these japanese chess. And nobody even intend to explain some basics of the game. Btw, story feels too empty, pacifistic and obviously teen-oriented. I'm sure, high-school boys who associating themselves with the bored protagonist will be excited, and I don't blame them. P.S. Scene by the river is unbearable for homo sapiens. |
 |
| Akari and her family basically gave some color to Rei's colorless life, still looks like he is struggling with something |
 |
| Rei reminds me a bit of myself, I was in a really dark place while living alone abroad >< |
| Boring episode again. It feels like a fucking light novel with the drawn out shit, with the overused similies and the slice of life family bullshit. MC hangs around a bunch of elitists and scumbags. Also Those fucking scratched eyes are all over the characters. This has less shogi action than even ryuugou no oshigoto. None of the shogi anime has any explanation of the beginner rules or even what happens in gameplay. Nothing is interesting and nothing matters in the end. Is this a fucking shogi anime?? No. It is even worse slice of life bullshit. Akari seems like she is gold digging off the MC, using him for her nefarious purposes. Boring and overrated imo. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |

| I'm really liking this anime. I like how they narrate the past about Kiriyama, it's really smooth and natural. And boy, Akari is a babe. And Momo is such a cutie ♥️ The new characters seems nice and on the previous episode, it shows that Kiriyama is a bit bothered about winning and losing especially of his competitors. |

| I liked this episode more than the first one. Even though the comedy in the first half put me off, the second half was beautiful with Rei's monologue by the river and his first meeting with the sisters. And I'm starting to love Akari, such a sweet and kind soul. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Another great episode. Akari is top tier waifu haha |
 |
| beautiful episode, I took a few screenshots |
| ok so 2 eps in and This ep was soo good and the scene with since that day he's in daze was so much relatable ;-; ahhhhh |
| Akari ara-ara san she's adorable and lovely. Glad have a non-related family like him should be grateful. |
| Hm.. So this rival-friend character.. He's quite rich, if he can afford himself a butler, and giving that butler a 80 days cruise.. 80 days, btw?.. Sounds specific, lol.. Maybe reference to 80 days around the world.. By the way, this humor more feels not like comedy, but like people trying to be cheerful around and stuff.. I don't think it's intended to be comedy, but rather it's just how people are.. But that's to my feel.. Hm.. So Rei likes rivers.. Interesting.. At least something we know now, what he likes.. Hm.. So professional shougi player plays only around 30-40 matches a year?.. Doesn't sound too much.. And tops can play up to 70-80, hm.. Well, this sounds like more of a reasonable number.. Hm.. So that's how Rei got to know this family.. She got abandoned by senpais after drinking, and Akari helped him to her home, which is relatively near to his.. Akari is really good with people, has good social skills, very supportive and it seems is likeable by others, kind.. I personally don't like her too much.. Well, just seems like not my type, it's just on the feelings level, I'm not really sure, why I don't.. Thinking of some reason really would just be putting false explanation.. But I must admit that she's good person.. Even if not my type.. She is alright to me.. But impressive as person, really.. Still won't like her or dislike.. Hm.. Second time I see these horses for obon out of vegetables.. And it was really recently I first saw them - like maybe 2 weeks passed, or something.. Or maybe even less.. Saw them in Kodomo no Jikan.. Maybe I just didn't pay too much attention to them before.. So they're horses dead people ride to return home?.. Interesting to know.. Hm.. And Rei thinks that Kawamoto parents died recently.. Hm.. Rei was quite affected by his parents death, hm.. Good second episode.. Dead parents topic was interesting.. As well as Akari's personality.. |
| I love how the enviroment in this anime changes when Kiriyama is alone in his apartment, to very warm and soothing scenary in Kawamoto house. |
BOŽE ČUVAJ HRVATSKU |
| waa akari is a hostess? would not have guessed that but looks like she's doing well, good for her |
| Not having even toilet paper means Rei has some really serious issues. Even more curious to see what happened in his past. Also, why isn't Akari more popular? |
 |
| this might actually heal my burnout, i'm liking this show. bridge symbolism is p cool, kinda iffy about the cutesy SoL even tho i'm aware of its purpose but maybe i'll like it more |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| that line "might distract me" said it all. it's clear there's more to akari than meets the eye. and rei presenting it well. dunno about the pace, or maybe it's the story itself. but by the time i get into the rei's character the episode in ending lol. but i think it's just might show how much rei's tragedies are clouded by the "cheerful" world. |
| Is anyone like Akari even real? She is simply lovely, and she is stunning. She looked stunning in that dress at the bar. Normal people would not look after strangers, but this is Akari, the nicest person in the world. It was such a sweet episode >. |
| Good comedy so far, Akari really is mommy material but overall its Shaft that deserves most credit for such nice and unique animation style, really feels like they are sticking to the manga roots |
| I can't beileve I've never heard about this show before now.... It really resonates with me. |
 |
| + Akari omg + More background on Rei + Matsumoto Issa reminds me of Kiryu lol Pacing starting to flow better as you get to know the characters a bit more. 8/10 |
| Was searching for something of this type... it's going to be fun few days watching it. |
