However, if you aren't familiar with Shogi, then you won't understand anything during the match. If you know at least the basics of shogi, you can really learn from each of the contest in this series. The details on Shogi is also very apparent in this series. Development wise, there are some minor development for each character but nothing grand, some examples being characters getting better at shogi, overcoming their fears, having confidence in themselves again etc. Among all the characters, my favorite one is definitely Yashajin Ai. It really isn't because they are well fleshed out or anything, it's just I like how the characterization for this series is done. Well, coming from Project No 9, it isn't really surprising just by looking at their previous works. There are also so points within the series where the characters just look badly drawn. The only thing I like about Ryuuoh's art is how the characters' eyes were drawn, especially when the characters are being serious while playing shogi, their eyes are beautifully drawn.
It isn't as bad as Marchen Madchen next door, but compared to a lot of series running this season, the only anime I can find on par with Ryuuoh in terms of art is Mitsuboshi Colors, which is also pretty weak at the art department. Secondly, the art for Ryuuoh isn't that good. There is seriously a lack of explanation at scenes throughout the series especially near the end. A lot of the contest were quickly glanced through just to go to the final match. As an anime only, I can also see a lot of important events being rushed. Apparently this is a failed attempt at adapting the LN, which I can agree.
I only gathered this information based on comments from fans of the LN. Now let me start with the adaptation part. There are two things that this series fails at, it's adaptation and it's art.
It was shocking to see a light novel about shogi with lolis can beat series like SAO in a popularity contest, so I waited for the anime to see how this series handles its loli characters and also the Shogi element.Īfter finishing the series, I have to say that it's quite disappointing, but I still had fun watching it. I heard about this series through it's winning in the Kono Light Novel Ga Sugoi Contest 2 years in a row, beating series like Snafu and Sword Art Online.
