| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So Yaichi is able to talk to Ginko again and I suppose they are on better terms now... As for shogi, it's his chance to redeem himself. Felt very rushed though for the finale. I wasn't expecting much but still feel underwhelmed. This was also probably one of Yaichi's toughest match yet so it was saved for the finale. One of the slightly better episodes imo but that doesn't say that much. I found this anime to be pretty underwhelming in the end. |
 |
| Its nice that after realising the worry that Ai and the others showed for him has calmed Yaichi down. This is a match that is watched intently by all of Yaichi's friends and fellow shogi players.To think that the Mejjin thought that deep into the game though. Being motivated by the words and thoughts of his friends and disciples was a nice touch though. Ginko and Ai's struggles are as hillarious as ever. Man what a thrilling match but its nice to see Yaichi win as well as see all the happy reactions from his friends and allies that cheered him on. Having the whole support cast join them for sakura viewing was a great way to end the show. |

| I wanted to see Yaichi's apology to Ginko. I didn't get it. Booooo. :p |
 |
| I kinda feel like the apology to Ginko was cut. That was an important part to the story and I can't believe they seriously took it off. The anime was atleast not lacking in its loli jokes, but there is literally not much you can expect from this anime. Atleast it was fun in the shogi battles, so there's that. Not hyped for season 2. Not that there will be one anyway. |
 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. |
| Not a bad serie but it feel a promo for the novel, and of course a second season is unlikely. A bit of a waste but a very popular light novel like this deserved an anime nontheless. 4/5 overall. The battles with Ai were the best. |
| It was a fine episode, i felt the cringe a lot but it was fine, a 7/10, I will miss those characters and amazing designs tbh, I doubt it will get a 2nd season but I hope it does get one. also WHERE IS THE APOLOGIZING SCENE?!!!!!! was there one in the novel anyway? |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| What a disappointing finale, it felt rushed and didn't get to see Yaichi's apology to Ginko. The shogi match was okay. Not a good show overall. 2/10 |
 |
| I guess this was an OK show, nothing special though. If they didn't include the loli bait, the viewership might have only been people who play shoji lol. It's a little unrealistic that he ended up beating the Meijin 4 times in a row but we got our happy ending. I admit I knew nothing about shoji and now I feel I know a little about it. Just a little. 5/10 |
| I liked the match, it was very intense and kept me expectant. But then he won the other three games and that's it? Happy ending? That was disappointing, as disappointing as there was no scene of Yaichi apologizing to Ginko. Poor girl, she's labeled as main character, but to me she seemed more like a side character who didn't even get an apology at the end. And I know this show is about lolis, but I really wish they'd focused more on characters like Ginko or Keika :/ I didn't like the last few episodes very much, but anyway, it was a fun show. |

| It was a good episode although I don't like how they skipped the next 3 matches as if it were easy after this. I understand why they did it, but it was still too fast |
 |
| Ryuuou No Oshigoto! Overall Impressions: I learned about Ryuuou no Oshigoto through the Anime Man’s video interview of the light novel author last year. I do not remember much of what he said back, but I do remember the way the light novel author explained his series to the interviewer had me curious about shogi in general and had me very optimistic that Ryuuou no Oshigoto could be a surprise hit of the Winter 2018 season, despite the anime’s typical/average looking promotional material. I gave the anime the chance, and I was surprised! Ryuuou no Oshigoto is a very straightforward series about a shogi master Yaichi, who wants to dominate the shogi world with his mad skills. From that point, Yaichi recruits many really young female shogi players like Ai Hinatsuru and Ai Yashajin to aid in his long quest to become the #1 shogi player. With that kind of premise, you would expect this anime to falter and focus on fan-service for 3/4th of each episode. Surprisingly, the plot is very focused on progression. The anime centers its attention on shogi games, mainly utilizing the aspect for substantial character development and tension. Although I had no knowledge about shogi, watching each match unfold felt really engaging thanks to the decent build-up of character conflict that Yaichi and his disciples face. The loll shenanigans are rare. When ‘fan-service’ is present, it is executed in a way that is genuinely funny and adorable as hell, serving as a good method for rewarding viewers after an intense match of shogi. There are many memorable moments within the anime, but I do have one major complaint that has less to do with its story, but more on how the anime adaptation utilizes its 1-cour time. The way some events progressed felt a bit jarring. It feels like the adaptation as a whole only does the minimum job, focusing on rushing to the most important story events in the light novel. This is a problem for me, because for every side-character (Not counting Yaichi, the Ais, and Keika) that gets the center of attention, the character is rarely utilized again in the story and I hardly get the chance to see their back-stories explored to make me care for them. Char, Ayano, and Mio are the biggest victims, as they never got the time to develop at all and more-so acted as loli comedy relief. We hardly see Yaichi teaching his other young disciples and his relationship with each of them. That got me somewhat disappointed. Not that it makes the anime mediocre, as Ryuuou no Oshigoto was still extremely enjoyable to watch and it got me interested in shogi in general (It also got me to buy the light novels too). It is that if this anime had been a two-cour, I would not have felt as conflicted. I am going to conclude that the anime adaptation is a serviceable way to get into the series, but it serves more as a sample demo than being a fully fleshed out adaptation. I am hoping that BookWalker continues the English digital release of the light novel after the anime airing, because I need MORE Ai Hinatsuru and shogi in my life! |
 |
| not even joking but this show is one anime of this season that I actually enjoy the most, esp the shogi battle part with epic ost s2 when |
| Intense match even though I'm brainlet that can't understand shogi yet. Ai was super cute too 9/10 |
 |
| Best girl didn't even get Yaichi to apologize to her. Besides that it wasn't that bad, I had fun watching it, would have had more fun if Ginko wasn't this much of side character. |
| I knew the show was gonna focus on the lolis but I didnt think ginko would get shafted so badly throughout the entire show... |
 |
| Well, to me minus the two episodes he was a prick this was a fun ride. My only gripe was that it didn’t showed more of the Shogi matches & strategies more (like commentary to understand a little more about this game) but like I said this was a fun ride… |
 |
| What a piece of shit. And to think someone got paid for writing it. I put as much effort into this comment... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Came for lolis, got my lolis. It was an alright show. Although Yaichi got away way too easily with being an ass and we didn't even see his apology to Ginko lol. |
| So Mejin actually has a face, huh? Pretty nice ending. I thought they will cut it after 4th game and leave us hanging. I wanted to see him apologizing to Ginko :( |
| And this is why Ai is the best. |
 |
| Feels ok after previous 2 episodes in which only highlight was Keika's match. Bu the series was rushed and sloppy towards the end. I just hope 3rd and further volumes of the LN get translated faster. Up till ep 5 it was solid 9/10, then drop was slight but closer to the end it started breaking more. It's too much stuff cut out just fro the 1st and 2nd novel and this gap grows. Still it has it's cute moments and that ending somewhat fits. 7/10 overall |
| No conclusion for Ginko... sad boys. Overall I'd say Loli Shogi XD Unlimited Saga was a decent show. A bit awkward at parts, but also filled with some good moments. |
| Terrible ending, Doesn't even Apologize to Ginko and a reverse sweep that we dont even get to see. Oh Well Average anime in the end. 6/10 |

| I actually can't believe he was able to come back and beat the Meijin. I figured he would fight a good fight and either come close to winning, or win this match but lose the next. But for him to actually win 4 consecutive times was genuinely shocking to me. I'm not sure how I feel about them giving him 3 off screen victories. Just seems kind of cheap to me. The match was really intense though, and that's what the show did successfully. I think it had a great feeling of intensity and suspense for every match. Seeing the Meijin's face for the first time finally made his character seem more human. I liked his simplistic design. He seemed like a really kind guy. A little older than I initially thought too. RIP to Ginko. No on screen apology. She really was treated like dirt. But I could careless since I wasn't a fan of her to begin with. Still immensely happy for Keika though, she was easily the best character of the show. Speaking of, she was the first to reach out to Yaichi in his mind. Does that finally confirm she's Yaichi's true wife? I'll miss the lolis that's for sure. I do see a lot of complaining about the lolis though. Which makes me wonder, what else were people thinking when they saw this show? Lolis are plastered everywhere, so what else do you expect? It's Japan and anime for God's sake. You know what you're going to get with this one. Regardless, I think this put shogi in a positive light. I really wish I knew how the game worked, because I'm sure I would've enjoyed this even more. As for everything else, the art was appealing the character designs were really good for a number of characters including both Ai's and Ika. Also, thick cute girl from the Onsen finally showed her eyes! Hopefully she'll be a part of the harem. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this one. Lots of tension and excitement with the games, good development for a number of characters, appealing art and character designs, and most importantly, lolis. I'd like to see a second season for sure, but I'm not exactly sure where Yaichi can go from here, more titles maybe? Either way, hope to see more. 7/10 |
| An ok finale, but the shogi match was pretty intense. Overall, the show's been an enjoyable ride. Maybe even the guilty pleasure of this season. 7/10. |
  |
Coming into this show, I already new it was probably going to be base level and heavily saturated with uninteresting lolis, but then Ginko-san was introduced and my idiotic self thought "hey, this is a decently interesting character with a pretty unique design (compared to the rest of this show's characters anyways) and was genuinely looking forward to a ship that didn't make me cringe. So episode 11 came around and boy was I annoyed when mc went full douche-bag on her, but I also had hope that this event would lead to a finale where an apology and possible ship-worthy scene closed the show. Well...one rushed episode filled with the worlds most annoying loli ever (Ai#1) and all I can say is: |

Damn,I was hoping to see Ginko get shafted-oh wait,perhaps I shouldn't have said that ;) As for the Meijin,I got the impression he wasn't looking to win so much as testing out his theories about shogi,and pushing Yaichi to play as good as he could,and as for the lolis,who cares,they were cute and that's what matters. Starting to think that maybe I'd like to try and learn Shogi,but at my age(not telling you),it'd really be an uphill battle,and I don't like hills-well,not going up them anyway. |

| Continued to watch only for Ginko moments and for that I have no regrets. The rest of the show is not my cup of tea. Beyond the loli pandering, it tries to be something (drama) which it clearly isn't. |
| Definitely felt rushed. Honestly, if this show just focused on the loli antics I think I would have enjoyed it more because that stuff was actually pretty funny. There were a few cringey moments and the serious stuff didn't hit as hard as it should have. I mean how can you leave the Ginko apology out; feels like she got shafted. Not to mention just blowing past the last 3 games. I mean this fourth match here was actually pretty well done, so really they prob just needed more episodes to get the story across better. |

 |
| If I had understood Shogi better, I probably would have had enjoy the show more since they seems to present the aspects of a Shogi match pretty seriously. It was an alright show. The jokes were hit and miss and the only likeable character is Keika. But I like how the story progresses. 6.5/10 |

| Dunno, it was very engaging for lolibait, perhaps the most engaging series I've ever seen in that genre. They did loli right here, not making it a mere outlet for fanservice, but using the optimism and enthusiasm inherent to youth as a kick in the butt to our protagonist. The fanservice still existed and I don't fault that, but I feel like the series went way beyond. It excited me more than a certain well-respected shouji series, and that's saying a lot considering its trashy genre! |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Of course the only way Yaichi won was because of the "glowing eyes makes you read into the future" trope. The first match just had to end in a tie to conveniently waste time for the actual final match. Idk what to say, this really was just a lame finale and a lame show overall. This show always pandered to loli lovers, had no actual focus on the shogi aspect besides giving simple explanations and the cast was just really unlikable. Ginko really was the only good character in this show and honestly idk how the LN won awards. Maybe the awards this series earned was by loli lovers themselves. |

| All I can say about this anime is eh everything is done so basic and nothing really expands from that but at the same time it's not done horribly like sho-bitch, the pacing at times feels a bit rushed and some characters are glossed over but it's not horribly rushed like hakyuu houshin engi(even though I kinda have a guilty pleasure towards that anime for being rushed af), the art feels generic and doesn't have a unique charm to it like love live sunshine(My favorite Anime if you can't fucking tell) but it's not bad it's just........eh, the shogi battles feel mediocre and don't have enough weight to it like how in kaiji where every gamble feels like a life or death situation, but it's not bad either they're some parts that feel genuine, the characters don't have enough depth or interest and feels like tropes rather than interesting characters especially the main character, there's just something about him that feels generic and artificial about him, but he's not a horrible main character like EVERY FUCKING CHARACTER FROM FUCKING BANG DREAM AKA THE MOST PASSIONLESS ARTIFICIAL SHIT I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE FUCKNGADFSKJASDFOKDS *cough**cough* sorry about that But yeah everything just feels, eh, nothing horrible but nothing good to remember about either also STOP WITH THE FORCED PEDOPHILIA SHIT, LIKE I LIKE LOLIS BUT THEY'RE FUCKING 9 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF |

| I waited he apologize to Ginko all the episode... and he didn't... Well, my final evaluation of this anime is 6... exaggerates too much in the amount of fanservice and lolis, besides not having taken a route with romance that would be more interesting, of course not with a loli.... |
