I like how the girl got so emotionally involved. She always overreacts.

Did anyone else feel a little cheated by episode 2? I wanted to see the proper ending to the game.

I think from now on I'll just mute the audio and read the subs. I wish there was a way to just cut Yokoi's audio. Her hysteria just ruins all the enjoyment I get out of watching him work.
Here's how I was hoping episode 2 would end. spoiler[After she's watched all the machinations of the shogi armies, the teacher suddenly calls on her to answer a question, and she blurts out whatever she was thinking about the battle she just witnessed - which turns out to be the right answer (the Tale of Heike is about two clans fighting for control of 12th c. Japan).] |

That would've been brilliant. Now I'm sad it didn't end that way
I did. I really wanted to see what Seki-kun had in mind forspoiler[ the gold usurper.] |

But i guess the contrast between Seki-kun silently doing his thing and Yokoi freaking out (and getting in trouble with the teacher) kinda is the point of this show. A "silent anime" just showing Seki do stuff might have its own charm, but i don't really mind Yokoi, she really got me excited about the shogi battle, too.

I could listen to Kana Hanazawa* freak out all day long. * Or Kana Hana as I like to call her. |

And yet she doesn't reply to the letters written in blood with the asked lock of her hair. 
It can sounds even more darker when you re-read the first part you wrote into taking it out of context. |

Ova
You go girl! Go make Seki repent for his actions. I loved how she said she grew a little stronger. |

I watched the OAD on mute and it was much more fun. I think her facial expressions and what she's saying are enough. Definitely the way to go for me now.

I love shogi so bonus points this episode.
I would always come up with reasoning and dramatic scenes for games when I was a kid. It's one of the reasons I was so overjoyed when Battle Chess came out and had some of the same ones I imagined. And I agree, the proposed alternative ending is way better than the actual one. EDIT: I watched the OVA and on advice from here I muted it. Yeah, I think I'm going to watch the show like that from now on. I don't have anything against Yayoi's voice actress and I don't think she does a bad job. I just think the show's better without her. Too bad you can't keep the sound effects and music but loose her voice. Ep1 would've lost a lot without the epic music. I tried reading the manga but, while great, IMO it works way better as a show. Also of note, I laughed at bit with her with stars in her eyes and her hand moving up and down (ruler off-camera) because I recognized it as part of a gif that's floating around. It's jumps between that and a scene from an H anime of a guy getting a hand job. I didn't even clue in that's where the girl is from. LOL. Reminds me of the Ranma 1/3 days. |

I think we're supposed to assume that without Yayoi's intervention the Gold General would have won over the King, since Seki-kun seems to enjoy giving the evil guy the spotlight. How he would have gotten rid of the opposing army, though, I don't know. 
I really liked that Yayoi got so invested in the game and eventually intervened. After the first episode I thought all the gags would involve her trying to foil Seki and then getting in trouble. I like the show (and her) much more when she is a semi-accomplice. |

Episode 3 is up. I may have seen the buff job to end all buff jobs.
If she doesn't do a bad job, then there is nothing to mute. But, it's your preference, bud. |

Nice double episodes. The roles switched in the first episode and the class was apart of the scheme in the second episode.

My childhood memories flashed in my mind when I saw those spoiler[toy robots] tbh.
