The anime was REALLY weird to be fair. The whole anime was filled with lolicon, mc being pdf and everybody seeing it normal and even joking about it. Not lolis but other girl characters were problematic as well. That was a full harem atp. Ngl, it even had a potential to turn into Yaoi :D
Even if it was a lolicon anime it had it's own sides. In the anime you could clearly see ambitiousness towards shogi. As from my view, the only good thing about the anime was Keika's parts (it was until she made a joke in that one episode's end.). Keika was a good example of hard work, confidence and not giving up is a key to success. Or (in last episodes) how getting swallowed by stress could eat anyone up and not see whats in front of you or who's next to you. And in the last chapter; sometimes the peop…

Finally, a loli anime that is truly made with love, and delivered with passion.
A lot of CGDCT anime, especially with lolis, fall into the trap of mediocrety. The characters are introduced, but the story is bland, and the characters act as flat troupes. Ryuuou no Oshigoto is not one of those. This anime has a gripping pacing in its story. A wide range of scenes that can be dramatic, sweet, or emotional are all delivered excellently.
Despite not understanding anything about shogi, the anime was thoroughly enjoyable. The explanations work for both skilled shogi enjoyers and non shogi players. The details of the match is genuine, whilst still dramatical as an anime should be.
Every character is unique and vibrant, cute and endearing in their own way. The lolis in the anime are the focus, n…

To understand what is happening, or even basic dialogue in this anime, you have to understand how to play shogi. I did not and still do not know anything about shogi. I don't understand how you play it, I don't get any of the terms, everytime the characters stood there and explained what was happening like a yugioh side character it just confused me more.
I just came for loli fanservice but was instead left confused and with a headache most of the time, the more it went on the dumber I felt because I could not understand ANYTHING about how this fucking game is played. Some of the other reviews talk about how you can enjoy the anime even without understanding shogi, but that is only very specifically if you don't give a shit about the story, at all.
I was actually pretty invested in the…

I started the series not knowing anything about Shogi, and I ended the series knowing nothing about Shogi.
I was hopeful it would explain things better, or at least introduce the game to uneducated viewers, (like myself), but no. So if you want to learn about the game through an anime, this one isn't for you. You can also just read the rules online, or just rawdog it like I did.
The constant loli baiting was so tiresome and repetitive.
I had a feeling the show would follow and favor the loli characters over everyone else, but unlike most loli characters, these ones are frankly annoying. They were forcibly trying to be cute the entire time and it grew incredibly tiresome practically immediately. I honestly wished Ai would get hit by a plane, (I didn't want her to get hit by a car or van…

Through the reviews of this anime, as well as through the community of people who would be otherwise interested in it whatsoever, I have seen many people turn down this anime due to the simple fact of not understanding a tad bit about the titular board game it revolves around: Shogi.
To those people, I ask not to worry; as not only does this show provide the necessary explanations to at least, get a general idea of what is always going on screen (when it is relevant for it to so), but I would go as far as saying Shogi is not even the main focus of the series at all, despite its name. Rather, it is something more akin to the vehicle it utilizes to deliver what the series truly is about: the hefty emotional and personal journey the characters embark upon through the duration of the whole or…

Considering my previous controversial reviews, some might easily think that this is simply a joke review, but I've never once written nor rate anything that's not true to my heart and this particular anime, will have a short yet adequate review.
This anime isn't about cute girls. It's simply about dreams and passion, and a good one at that.
I hope more people can watch everything while trying to understand how the characters feel, not by only seeing it from a passive viewer perspective. That is to me, how everything should be enjoyed.
Thank you very much. Somehow MAL prevents me from posting short reviews? Why am I being taught on how to write reviews? This is my reviewing style. I'm talking about irrelevant stuff and publish them as a part of an anime review? I acknowledge that this…

Ah, you've got to love shows that seem to exist just to trigger angry twitter users. It's a loli harem anime that's just barely also about the game of shogi. That bit in the first episode where his shogi rival walks in to find him on the floor with a naked 9 year old under him is a real tone-setter for the kind of show you're going to be watching. It seems very self aware in it's use of situations like this as a comedic punchline, almost like it's trying to push the limits of what it can get away with while maintaining that it's just a parody.
The shogi in this show is, from what I understand, marginally realistic. When it does become the focus, the show acts like a typical sports anime, and the two girls named Ai are like shounen rivals. But when not playing shogi the show will not hesit…

A girl comes to train to improve her shogi from a champion.
Quickly this becomes a loli harem show with over-possessive students and friends wanting possession of the master, especially between the two students. This includes the usual poorly drawn nudity to past certain companies' censors.
It's about the 3rd of 4th of similar format and kinda says all these poor animes block good anime being made. I knew it wasn't going to be great from previews, but not this bad.
as l live in a non-shogi country, I had difficulty relating to the game, and how the character could say things like you can be my bride to a girl who looks around 4 or 5. It also tries to push comedy badly, and I struggled in general with it, more like going through the motions so just to have material for a review

I had to deactivate my brain to watch this, honestly I came to know this series beacuse one girl's design looks alike Eula from genshin, and when I realize "ohh, so it's a lolis based anime" had to stop thinking deeply. So my opinion was like a 5 at the begining, but that 11 episode... it disappointed me, even when I shouldn´t be disappointed at anything, mainly because for what I said before.
What happened? [SPOILERS]
Well... the episode keeps creating a problem from the previous one with the mc, a sentimental problem, this time with Eul- I mean Ginko, but this time is way more deep. I don't care much about how Ginko has been treated by this series so far, I know for sure that the loli fanservice will win, and I really was planning to read the original source to see if there is a little h…

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! is a controversial anime that does what it sets out to do flawlessly. A show mainly about shogi and the relationships of a title holder that plays it, Ryuuou no Oshigoto! hits every beat one could expect and possibly a few no one wanted.
The sound and artwork for the show is fantastic. The score behind intense moments of watching the game, the sounds of shogi pieces hitting the board, the endearing character designs and beautiful animation makes for intense matches rivaling some of the best sports anime in the industry. You can tell the production team was not phoning this one in like some other anime in the genre, the passion and intensity so central in professional sports anime bleeds through and generates so much hype for the matches.
Honestly, the anime could stan…

After watching this anime, I was left scratching my head and wondering what the hell I had just watched and why I had spent my time watching it. First off, the little girls were portrayed pretty sexually, and very much like love interests to the much older main protagonist. I'm really not against putting 'little girl' characters in an anime, I'm a huge fan of Amaama to Inazuma for example. But sexualizing them like they seem to do in this anime is just in bad taste.
Anyway, back to the rest of the anime. Which isn't much to be honest. Even the Shogi aspect of Ryuuou no Oshigoto is really uninteresting. I compare it to Saki as an example, which has a similar concept but has Mahjong as its center theme. It's not a perfect anime by any means, but that anime at least had me interested in the…

Let's be real here, you chose to look at this anime because of 2 things.
- you thought the girls are cute (and they are)
- you're actually interested in Shogi.
Now let's start on the actual review, the story is pretty basic, linear even because it centres around playing 'shogi' and that's it. Other than that it is just another slice of life. What helps to make it enjoyable is the cute character designs and interesting tidbits about the game. However, if you do not like "certain characters" their quirks while playing can get annoying over time.
The art is nice and the music is apt for some of its comical scenes, the characters are actually pretty interesting as there are no unlikeable characters maybe except for a few eccentric ones. However, some of the side characters are just abso…

Yeah, I'm thinking this is the best anime I've seen other than Boko No Pico.
First off, all of the characters are amazing and have really good values and goals. Never before have I wanted an underage girl to win a chess game! Each character seemed to have drive and passion, with valid reasons for doing so. Sadly, I can't go more in depth but trust me when I say the characters are one of the best things about the anime!
Secondly, the "action" in the show is surprising. The sheer tension I got when they were playing chess was left me perplexed to why this anime made me feel more tension than the fights in Demon Slayer. The fact the writers and animators were able to do this, along with the voice actors, is a testament to the validity of this anime!

tl;dr: An amusing anime that's actually about shogi but a shogi that's way more intense and amusing than one would expect.
Note: I watched this not long after 3-gatsu no Lion, so I can't help but compare this to it. No spoilers though.
This anime is kind of bizarre. It's very heavily about shogi but its also not. By that I don't mean something like 3-gatsu no Lion, where it features shogi players but has a lot of story outside of that. Rather, this sticks to being focused on shogi the entire time, with all plot events and relationships being centered around shogi. I also think it does a pretty good job of showing the world of shogi. However, the shogi is very rarely shogi like, and that itself is a source of amusement. That generally manifests in two ways. The first is that the various s…

not gonna say much: cute art, ok animation, ok sounddesign for the type of show it is, simple yet lighthearted story.
BUT as someone that works with kids I cant say i enjoyed the borderline pedophilia. it didnt add to the story, didnt add to the characters, didnt add to the enjoyment. its just an unhealthy depiction of both children and how they act. thats all ill say, if ur a pedophile face reality and come to terms with the fact that kids simply dont see the world the same twisted way you do.
That is all.
Now to get into the details of this review:
The art is cheerful having both delightful colours and smooth lineart. the animation is nothing short of average and seems to be the reason this anime gets most of its praise. Nothing in the animation stands out as to be unique or hard to pu…

There's a minor spoiler on this sooo... don't read it unless you're too curious on the characters.
It's not good enough for me.
Project 9 studio is good at doing their anime although not all anime they create is good, its like mediocre at best.
Now let's talk about Ryuuou no Oshigoto, their character designs is quite nice, even impressions of the characters is on point too. Watching this makes me remember that this anime have little bit of similarity in drawing pattern like "Blend S" and "Slow Start" which is both have a different attack of art/drawing style but also have a bit of similarity too. So for the Art i'd say that Project 9 did their best in this anime, it's quite nice for me but it's not the best in the market right now, because for me they always draw "Lolicon" theme anime w…

honestly there is not much to say here, it is a simple but entertaining series, its characters carry the series as they can but they do it very well until the end of the series, the plot that revolves around the game of shogi itself, several times at the moment and the explanations I almost fell asleep (not kidding) because, really they were very boring, that's why I love the characters since they alone saved those heavy moments during the series from beginning to end, with nothing more than add, it is highly recommended to hang out without expecting the big deal from it

So this was a cute anime. I very much enjoyed this anime and its message and the charming characters that will make u gush.
Story: The story pretty much focuses on our main man Yaichi who is considered the best at this game called Shogi. He holds the title which supports this but yet he is kind of in a slump. That is till one day he meets a grade school girl called Ai who wants him to train her which he does. With her help and others he is eventually is able to get out of his slump. It really is a story that teaches that hard work pays off.
Art: The art is decent! All the characters look good as do the places they go.
Sound: Sound is good. The opening and ending song sound nice as do the characters.
Character: I loved the characters. I didn't have a problem with anyone which is nice c…

Another review for my fans. Wait, I don't really have any. So anyway here I go.
Dear Author, you suck at adapting your story, please die, and beg for forgiveness!!!
I wanted it to be rated by me to 8 or 9 but the story was ACHING fast paced and those background characters doesn't even have a single backstory line/scene in the series, then the most crucial of all is the love story or relationship between Ginko and Yaichi didn't bloom enough to the point that they should at least kiss, ACHE you author!!!
And now the original plot for chess in japan called shogi, shogi is not a popular game in the whole world so creating this plot is only good for those in-you-know. This could be a great anime if they made it up to 26 episodes. So many comedies within the series but its too short!!! The mos…
