Solid season, but the pacing felt a little off in the middle compared to the first. Still loved it though!
Just started watching this and wow, I never thought shogi could be so emotional. Anyone know where to learn the basics?
OMG I cried like 5 times this season! The feels are TOO REALLLLL.
As a manga reader, I knew what was coming, but the animation just *elevated* those scenes. Shaft really nailed it.
