These trolls disgust me, but even so, I don't think this is nearly as good as March comes in like a Lion. There was some new flavors added in to make it interesting, but there was also a lot of subsequent light novel bullshit, and I hope it grows out of that. 3/5 I guess.

I'm sorry, but NOPE! This is exactly what I feared this show would be: a rip-off "3-gatsu no Lion" with some loli-harem bullshit thrown in to drown out how ridiculous this premise is. I did a triple-take when it was revealed that this girl was able to engage him even though she's a grade schooler and has only been playing for 3 months.
I call bullshit!

I was even willing to put up with it, but the nude fight at the door killed it for me.

i think you shouldnt underestimate it, its supported by shogi association in japan and its the top light novel? Anyway dont drop it right now, this is the type of anime where ep 1 is misleading and its actually amazing.
Also its evident that the girl is a genius, well you know there are some people who has innate talent to something, like how someone can combine the hardest numbers together despite not knowing math that well.

What a very very good start!
Yaichi & Ginko is definitely better than Kiriyama! lolz
I wonder who is this show's Meijin?
So we have here an adorable loli who just started shogi 3 months ago but cornered an 8th-dan? wow! pretty impressive for me, if she continue playing shogi with a great master-disciple, she'll overtake MC lolz!
Ginko looks like a terrifying bossy sadist!
LOL at Ai's yandere eyes!
great rivalry between AI & Ginko! lolz
Lol I easily recognized the voice of Yaichi's master! is it genjou sanzou?
OMG Keika's hot!
LOL! Ayumu feels like he's Nikaidou and VA is also the same! Its Okamoto Nobuhiko! and he's like a Chuuni! lolz
5/5.

Ai chan was fucking adorable and hilarious. The pouty and sad faces were great.

I was losing it when she went all random yandere, and then when she didnt back down when when the other girl started shit talking and calling her a brat. She just tossed the most whimiscal childish comebacks at her and made her snap. Its hilarious watching her use her childish mindset to just ruin any argument.

I see a lot of hardcore debating on comparing this to 3-gatsu. I'm not going to compare the shogi explanations since we're only on episode 1. Why people are trying to make that comparison already is fucking ridiculous. You're trying to compare the shogi scenes of a show that will have almost 50 fucking episodes by the end of winter to a show that literally aired its first episode today. Calm the fuck down.

As for what can be compared so far? 3-gatsu's side elements revolve around coming of age moments, reality of bullying, family life, with lots of melancholy and brooding. I heavily enjoy 3-gatsu as a whole, but its no exaggeration to say 99% of the characters are about as exciting as a wet paper bag and are always dealing with some kind of "oh woe is me" moment.

Meanwhile this show seems to focus more on how colorful and eccentric it's main and supporting cast of characters are. And the atmosphere quite blatantly seems to be more cheery and comedic. That's open to change down the road depending on what kind of personalities the other shogi player characters have, but thats at least the first impression the show tries to give.

Also notice how the people hating on the show already and making blanket accusations of loli bait are legit all the same kind of person? Unironically also the only ones on here sexualizing a 9 year old girl...are them. None of the people who watched the show and liked it gave a rats ass about 4 seconds of a naked kid that didnt show anything.

well lets see a lil bit more before judging it at that level, yes its pretty much filled with lolis and they probably arent gonna do too much for the show, I'm more interested in the other characters thats where the hope lies, I really really hope that this doesn't turn into a loliesque show please!!

also I don't know if real shogi is that liberal with the dressing and stuff but well- who knows

Not fair to Ryuuou to keep comparing in to Sangatsu, they're just different things, so I'm not gonna mention it on Ryuuou threads from now on

Guess it's okay from time to time to see some rather traditional LN fare, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would

I watched Angel Beats back in 2011, aka when I started anime. If you think I'd rate Angel Beats a 10/10 again after 6 years, then you should probably rethink a bit. I've also stated this multiple times elsewhere on the forums. Sangatsu is beyond melodramatic. And yes, Angel Beats is exactly that for its last few episodes.

Also, Angel Beats =/= Shogi show like the other two even if it's melodramatic.

Not that I think you'll listen to me, but I think you're mistaking the term melodramatic for emotionally driven, as the two aren't mutually exclusive. 3-gatsu focuses a lot on conveying feeling through animation, but if you look at the plot as a whole, it isn't overdramatic, things don't happen for the sake of drama, actually, the events are quite a bit normal.

I am big fan of 3-gatsu no Lion and I have read the novel of Ryuuou no Oshigoto. 3gatsu focuses more on the growth of Rei while Ryuuou focuses more on Shoji( and loli). In fact, besides Shoji they are totally different types. I think both are good works and it is meaningless to dispute which is better.
As for this episode, it develops so fast and deletes lots of introductions about Shoji so 3/5. But I believe following episodes will be better.

Look I'm not saying you should force yourself to watch stuff. If you don't like it, then of course: Don't watch it.

But just because some people actually like these shows (one reason or another) wouldn't mean they're pedophiles. That's just a blatant generalization for those that are doing that.

Someone already summary the first two volumes of the LN, after I read it I'm pretty sure this show isn't all about the loli doing a cute thing it's also about giving their all in life as well. That made me interested in this show more and more.

Here if you are interested, it contain spoiler for obvious reason.

Hina and Momo... they never showed us something beside what they are: kids. If you see something more it's because you want to see it. You can't compare these two on all two seasons with what we saw in this 1st episode, just you can't.

Nikaidou is just another "you are my rival" guy, can't tell that chuuni.

And Kyouko... I give it to you, but again, can't compare her with Ginko. The only comparable thing between is the shogi and only the shogi.

@joexmdq blame your poor observation only on yourself

3gatsu is 90% psychological 10% shogi and plot progression and sometimes an episodes where its 90% SoL and 10% shogi but 0 plot progression

Don't get me wrong, I like psychological, just not this show, 3gatsu is psychological done wrong

"AOTY" lmao what a delusional casual

Also some friends of mine who reads the LN says that this isn't loli centered shit like you casuals are already assuming.
