I'm surprised. This show better than I thought it would be.
>>148900154
if only they reduce the shogi match and useless long-ass animation but it's shaft so no.
>>148900154
felt bad for that guy though
>>148900223
Maybe he'll win one day.
Any mangafags here?
Is there suffering in this?
>>148900285
damn that little butter ball I thought he was just a lazy piece of shit not a sickly piece of shit hope he does win one day
>>148900326
I hear the middle sister's bullying arc is pretty suffering
>>148900326
Yes.
>>148900376
>bullying arc
please no
>>148900376
>>148900525
oh boy
>>148900326
>Is there suffering in this?
Yes. Yes. Probably more.
But there is legitimate healing in-parts.
>>148900376
Arc? It was like one chapter.
>>148900912
chapter 51-71 for everything get resolved
>>148900326
yeah and even greaterwhen the fuck would they animate that rape scene by his foster sister anyways?
>>148900912
Have you actually read the manga?
>>148901186
>that scene
So she has the hots for him, I guess?
>>148901302
Doubt it, she was just abusing him for relieving her stress or something more likely.
>>148901302
This was before her1-sided relationship with gotou
She does seem to care for him but how much of that is just to fuck with him more I can't tell you.
I know Kiriyama is in love with Hina considering he proposed to her, but does she love him back?
>>148901682
Aren't we talking about his relationship with kyouko?
I want to have sweaty Polynesian sex with Akari-chan so badly ;_;
>>148901824
edgy
>>148901824
I need an adult.
>>148900285
Actually far more sympathetic than I thought he'd be
>>148902565
He's a walking drama bait, he'd die happy after his final match with Rei and Rei will be on losing streak for a while.
Before that faggot that pisses on SHAFT by default says this is a poor adaptation, like he does in every other 3-gatsu thread I've seen, I'd like to renew my invitation for him to post his reasons why he thinks the adaptation is bad.
So far the palette has been consistent and fits the original, maybe a little to dark or too clean (that's SHAFT's style) whenever there's too much Kiriyama. The watery-color backgrounds fit Umino's style. The OP/ED are great and again, fit her tone. The original character design is pretty much a carbon copy of the manga. The pacing is decent, and it's following the plot and the overall tone quite faithfully. The music is mostly OK (except for that bit of jarring electronic music in ep. 2).
So other than a few SHAFTisms, like every homage paid to pic related (I've noticed at least 3 attempts so far), and the really narrow lens and Dutch angles of many interior shots (which again, are very SHAFT), I seriously don't get what the fuck he's talking about.
>>148902662
This was great
>>148902318
>Polynesian sex
N-no. She's the purest of cakes, don't say lewd things about her.
>>148901186
just started the manga, when is the rape shown?
>>148902784
You can join us too if you want, anon.
>>148903037
i just like to watch
>>148902400
Please. Chapter 30 is far edgier.
>>148900948
>>148901059
>that much bullying
How many episodes will it last?
>>148903150
My favorite chapter is the one where she sucks Goto's off right in front of him after being beaten up
>>148900538
If only all victims do this to fight the bullying
>>148903578
Wow, Vivid went full retard.
>>148901440
Maybe she is pissed that he did not reciprocate.
>>148902784
How would Akari react if he had proposed to her.
>>148903578
Grils are weak.
>>148903653
What? He clearly did.
Kyouko's motivations are less clear.
>>148903313
10 if they keep this format, but we won't get to see it since it starts on chapter 50. S1 will probably end right before it happens.
>>148901682
Nothing's really been said about it yet.
>>148903578
What's the target demographic of this show?
>>148905550
Little girls of course.
>>148905550
Of Vivid strike? No one.
>>148900154
the scenes where he first follows her silently and then the cut to her crying was well done
>>148901186
Will we ever see his sister again? Seems like her plot with goto has been dropped.
>>148905606
She'll come back again when Kiriyama has title match against Goto or something.
Slut gonna slut
New manga volume when?
>>148905606
Obviously they are setting up for her to win the Rei bowl after Hina drops him
>>148900285
He's based on Satoshi Murayama so he's probably going to die
>When 9-dan-ranked professional player Toshiaki Kubo, 40, was in elementary school and a member of Shoreikai, a shogi training institution for amateurs, he was approached by Murayama. They formed a close relationship, with Murayama offering Kubo helpful tips about the game.
>Murayama was six years older than Kubo and a much more skilled player, but never bossy. He often treated Kubo at an eatery that he used to frequent.
>“There are many people who still talk about their memories of Murayama-sensei (Mr. Murayama),” Kubo said with a twinge of nostalgia. “He will remain in everyone’s heart forever.”
>Referred to as “kaido” (remarkable prodigy), Murayama often exhibited his extraordinary ability as a game was approaching its climax. He entered a title match at age 23.
>Murayama developed nephrotic syndrome as a child, and dedicated himself to shogi as he battled the disease.
>He was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 1997 and underwent an operation. But he rejected anticancer drugs on grounds they would affect his play.
>Murayama had a recurrence of the cancer the following year that killed him.
>The Japan Shogi Association posthumously honored him with a 9-dan rank, the highest available.
>>148901302
They both clearly had/have a thing for each other, she is abusive and Rei is clearly submissive, he's been shown admiring her beauty and crying over not being able to protect her.
>>148900376
>I hear the middle sister's bullying arc is pretty suffering
Eh, not really.
The bullying arc has 2 o 3 suffering chapters and while it lasts 20 chapters to get solved half of those are Rei playing shogi and doing other things.
>>148907204
How much shogi-autism do you have to have to actually get the 9-dan the normal way?
>>148907204
Please no ;_;
>>148905955
A translation for volume 12 should be coming up since it was released, someone had been posting some raw pages in the last couple threads.
>>148909281
Oh and you know who else will die too? Gramps
Is Kiriyama ever going to tap that Hina strange?
>>148910503
Only in the bonds of Matrimony, which is he is setting up.
I can't really say I'm enjoying the story so much, but it's framed absolutely fantastically. I'm paying more attention to the cinematography (for lack of a better word) and the editing than the actual story and dialogue.
