But again, I think we need to consider a separation of "accidental pervert" from "sexualizing the victim". I mean look at the situation. Sure, she's naked, but we don't see ANYTHING at all or get any weird angles. There doesn't seem to be any effort to actually make her nudity a sexual thing. At the same time, the guy's response is not one that exhibits even the slightest interest in her sexually. Rather, he at most seems to recognize that others might think he does because that's how people think now. Basically, I just got the impression that this scene demonstrates the potential for a difference between "this isn't what it looks like" and "this is what it looks like but not by intent". Anyway, that was one scene. The rest demonstrates that the girl has something between a precocious crush and god worship toward the hero, while the hero is viewing her alternately as a kid and as a monster. The vast majority of the show was focused on just interactions and shogi discussion, in which he most certainly treated her as older than she is, but only because he's more than a little terrified at the sight of a kid who in three months managed to go from not knowing how the pieces move to giving one of the best players in the world a serious run for his money. I wouldn't be surprised if half the reason he said he'd only be her master for spring break is because he thinks by the end of that time she'll be better than him hands down.

the fact which the "silver haired childhood friend of the mc is clearing display of "jealous toward the loli is already enough disturbing for me, one thing is she getting angry over the situation because it could really make peoples see things wrong, another is she keep acting toward the little girl as if she is a potential "rival" for the mc, that is another "pedo bait", thing. Like i told excluding that "obvious pedo bait" moments the serie looked good and i hope they don't keep doing it just for the sake of the "crap lolicons".

Also why bother trying to tell others? Will a "read the novels" work? I don't know, maybe but that's not my problem. Not everyone has an open mindset and not many can follow this series without a basic knowledge of shogi, yes, there will be lot of that for sure enough I had to catch a break and try reading about shogi rules in my free time. I still forget them time to time .

And yeah, there was no reason to include the scene, any more than there's reason to include most comedic scenes in most series. This is a series about a relationship between a guy and a girl. It so far looks like it'll be a platonic master-apprentice relationship, but it's still a person-to-person relationship. Frankly, I think it's kind of rare to have one-on-one relationship plots that DON'T have at least one or two jokes about imagined or potential romance/attraction. It'd be the same regardless of the apprentice's age or even gender. I for one am giving this the benefit of the doubt. I'm betting that we'll be getting a primarily shogi-focused story with a few jokes about pedos or people thinking the hero's a pedo. Of course, we might get something like Ro-Kyu-Bu, where the guy is on the border and fanservice goes through the roof, but we'll need a huge shift from this first ep. Rather than defending, I'm just tired of people taking partial 3s and calling them complete 10s. |

For series that are really focused on Shogi you have things like Shion no Ō. Still, the doubt is there, maybe this series will take the shogi way or maybe it will push more pedobait, we'll see. |

You'll see, I already know what I'm for . 5ch? (new 4chan?) Irrelevant. This series is pretty niche like Saki but without massive watermelon breasts and lolis walking around covered with belts0strings and more old geezers instead and far more research about Shogi and its World. The author really put a lot of work in this matter.

This is like the third time the studio is making some loli-centric series.

Not exactly Hikaru no Go, but not 100 lolicon trap either. Managed to get through the first episode on second try, it does seem to get more shogi-oriented after a while, long may that last. Given the scarcity of good anime this season, I'll probably try to follow it a while.

I expected this to being a kind of Saki + Ro-kyu-Bu (with similar proportion of sport/fanservice) + Shogi Story? (Shion no Ou? I don't know another story about Shogi but this manga, and was awesome. I haven't seen the anime, in fact I recently find out that it had anime). Only the time will tell. I will stick for a while.
