Watched the first season, never got around to continuing it.
It did get me interested in shoji, or, Japanese chess. Or maybe chess for crazy people. Nine rows, nine columns, new pieces, and if they reach the ninth rank, they flip over and gain additional moves (kind of like checkers). Also, you can give up a turn to reclaim a piece your opponent captured, and place it in one of your home ranks (the first three).
Also, you can’t watch March Comes in Like a Lion without getting “nyan-shoji” stuck in your head. It’s an absolute travesty (and blessing) that they never made a full version of that and put it out on streaming. You think Baby Shark is bad? Let it Go? Golden? (Okay, nobody really thinks Golden is bad, parents are just tired of it.) None of them have anything on nyan-shoji.
Want to add another anime that isn’t a shonen that is pretty solid is 3-gatsu no lion or “March comes in like a lion” in English. Well written.
