Feels like a story written just to test one's ability in poetry. Could've been 4 episodes shorter in the amount of time that was spent explaining the color of the sky, a river, etc.. We also get backstories of characters that we have not come to love and/or care about that play no purpose to the story once we learn more about them. It's definitely a slow, long drawn out story but also has its entertaining aspects to it. The sisters along with Nikaidou are sometimes laughable but entertaining at the very least. I'm a fan of some psychological warfare in my shows or mental games, which i was kinda expecting to get from the shogi games, then it just falls back into its pattern of poetry, drawn out scenes, and simple narration of the games being played.
