I love this anime. It handles the characters, situations, and emotions better than most anime could dream of.

This anime is definitely a "show, don't tell" anime, and I was also a little confused at first. But it is the most gripping "slow" anime I've ever seen. A very good mix of humor and sadness, but never hopelessness, dealing with depression and mental wellness very well, and NEVER requiring me to actually learn the rules of Shogi to follow the story.

seems like the lvl 5 patreons get priority but a poll would be be nice if he runs out of suggestions from them or just wants to do more ep 1 samples in general.

Ruff have you thought about just doing a Poll on a bunch of the episode 1s to see which you continue or do you not want to go about it that way?

If you like character development, this series is a must! Easily one of my favorite series ever.
And also, the whiplash is a part of the storytelling

I joined this community because you were reacting to my favorite manga, One Piece, and now you're reacting to my favorite anime as well. I'm not a huge fan of slice of life in general, but this show is just godtier. I hope you keep reacting to it!
Since I'm pretty new here, I'm not sure if you only do official subs for the anime you watch, but for 3-gatsu the "Commie subs" version is the ultimate experience IMO. The official subs have some rough edges and mistranslations here and there.

I haven't seen this one yet, though it is on my watchlist. I enjoy sport/game genre. I am a little confused as well but I think the person he played against is an adopted father and as a professional shogi player MC beat him which caused guilt causing him to relate to the TV news, As he was returning kindness with "harm". The family seems to be friends but since he is a pro Shogi player he has no need to work for the shop so he was probably returning the house key and got caught up with their family. Again this is all just things I am thinking after watching episode 1 with you.

This is a good one, the game part can be a bit heavy, but the slice of life part is awesome.

If you ever want to react to a single part of this the arc called burnt field is some of the best anime iv seen.

Not really a fan of this, dropped after few episodes but looking on ratings it's very good i guess
