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…

Well the finale was a bit rushed (well of course, noticeable at the end) but in the end I thought the show was entertaining to an certain extent. There are quite some apparent issues in here that could have been fixed, unfortunately these were stemmed and apparent throughout.

It being the pacing and not only that some parts of the series not working very much. That along with the last few episodes kinda making Ginko shafted throughout harder than I actually thought. Considering Ginko isn't as bad as a character, I don't think she deserved that push-over either. Which is unfortunate.

The shogi part (and only THE aspect) is at least better than 3gatsu and I'm not trying to compare them too often since they are two separated entities, one focuses on the characters and the drama and the other being actual shogi (because in 3gatsu the shogi is more of a sub-plot element for the current season imo), but aside from that, eh. Thought it could have been done better.

I may consider reading the LN seeing how the series apparently rushed through some stuff. But I don't think it affected anything that can be OVERLY major.

6-7/10 for the moment being.

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

The end certainly did seem rushed, but it did have to fit a lot in. It is slightly surprising he won the last 4 games, but it could be said it was his own anxiety holding him back to start with.

We still don't know whether he apologised to Ginko or not though.

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.

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.

I honestly believe the animators would have loved to keep all the good stuff in if time and money weren't a factor. Any series with just 12 episodes will always seem rushed at the end..nothing we can do about that.

With that said, I really enjoyed the series. Would have a loved a little more YaichixGinko action, especially after the last episode but will read the LN for that, no biggie. I like how they finally revealed the eyes of that well endowed girl who works with her dad, she's pretty indeed😁

Ai and Ginko can't get along to save their lives lol. Lol lap pillow courtesy of a loli? Ai#2 looks like she wants to enter the big leagues! Rushed or not, the series made its point. I doubt a second season would happen, but won't mind an OVA.

8.5/10 from me!

JUST LOVE IT!!!! That Yaichi has shown Meijin why he is the current ryuo. That match is so intense. Great win by the Yaichi...

* i love that Ginko vs Ai scenes from these one especially the one where they will guess what is Yaichi next move will be. And the lap part where Ginko caught him resting in Ai's lap...

* LOVED where they have shown all the minor and Major character in the series... and for the last time i have seen Char-chan!!!

GONNA MISS THIS ONE!!! ITS AN ENTERTAINING SERIES FOR ME!!!

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.

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!

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

I wanted him to lose so he can have a character development. But again he pulls the harem card (different variation of the nakama-boost bullshit) and won everything, lesson learned is zero.

and of course the apology to Ginko was cut, otherwise it will be a flag and won't have a harem ending.

HHHHMMMMMMMMMM THAT WAS A GOOD GAME, THE INTENSITY, THE MUSIC, THE EMOTION. Hhhhhhmmmmm that was good... And we finally got to see the Meijin's entire face for once. Also MC layed on the Loli's lap... GG I guess.

Somehow, despite knowing literally NOTHING About Shogi whatsoever, somehow, this was an anime I was really into for some reason. It was tense as hell during a good chunk of those games and I really felt the emotion, made me want to come back more and more each week. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH... Everything else outside said games was... well... just anime? Like, the characters themselves, though I like them... I WOULD PREFER Not watching an anime that would give the cops a reason to break down my door. In other words... DON'T LEWD THE LOLIS PLEASE. Anyway, final score is an 7/10.

Cmoooooon. I was really enjoying this series wholeheartedly and then they mess up the last 5mins of this episode. Why would they skip everything. Where was the apology to Ginko. They had to talk and sort out their stuffs but everything got ignored. Man that really pisses me off.

The series as a whole was pretty enjoyable. And I would really like to see another season. But who knows if that will happen the next 10 years... Thinking about giving it a 7 or 8. Have to sort out my feelings that felt a bit betrayed after seeing that blergh end...

This show was a bit disappointing.

I was hoping to see some loli love, but show was a little too light on loli content after really hyping up that trait; it almost completely disregarded any romance; and it even skimped out a lot of the shogi stuff.
Despite being so light on content, it still managed to be long and drawn out.
A lot of time was wasted on meaningless drama and the most interesting parts of the story were neglected.

A bunch of characters won matches that they shouldn't have won and lost matches that they shouldn't have lost were the plot to have any consistency or common sense.

The MC is total scum for not cherishing his lolis more.

Ginko was way too much of a jealous sadistic yandere to be likable - a total cock-block too (not that there was any cock to be blocked - but she totally killed any possibility for romance)
Ai Yashajin was too bratty for her own good and a bit of an overdone Tsundere.

Ai Hinatsuru was somewhat okay - it felt like she had a hint of tsundere and yandere, but mostly just cute and lovable and dedicated to her precious master.

While I liked Ai Hinatsuru, Charlotte was undoubtedly the best girl - she was just so consistently and perfectly cute and calm.
Proper, calm and composed, pure-hearted dere-deres like her who are open about their feelings are like a rare jewel these days.

I'll probably give this show 7/10 for the cuteness factor, but I may bump that down to 6 when I come to my senses and realize just how terrible the plot was.

Lolis FTW~!

...but sadly, this show did not win with the potential that it had.

I just call them Ai and Ten-chan for tsun Ai (due to a kanji in her name) when addressing them in my mind.

I blazed through the series in 2 days. Good series. Shogi matches sometimes portrayed with so much intensity as to rival Hikaru no Go and various great sports anime matches, but not sustained.

My favorite scenes are whenever Ai#1 goes into focus mode and chants "Ko, Ko, Ko, Ko, Ko, Ko... Ko!" I used to mumble similarly back during my Go days, so it's really nostalgic.

The loli bait and gags are enjoyable too.

6/10. An average series that baited me well with good match scenes and loli.
