From: Adam Skalny shogi sk> Date: 20 oct 2007 Subject: Re: Shion no Ou Hallo, I've just finished watching first episode, so if you are interested here is my opinion: + very nice remake of manga, which itself was great. or at least i liked it. + many anime fans have tried go because of Hikaru no Go. Now something similar for shogi exists, too. - when HnG started, main character did not know anything about go itself and viewer "followed" him as he learned go. In Shion, story begins in time when main character miss her promotion to by a tiny bit. So number of shogi-terms may be confusing for someone who don't know anything about shogi. E.g. there's a reference to dangling pawn tetsuji in the first ep. + story of Shion is not just about shogi. Atmosphere is sometimes dark and gloomy ... or bloody :-) - hng had "GoGoIgo" mini series after each episode, in which pro explained more and more rules of go. There's noting like that in Shion. I'll definetly try to squeeze this title on anime fairs here at Slovakia. It will make a great start point for shogi propagation here. Btw @Hrabos yeah "the guy from slovakia"'s here and kicking. shogi here is on a good way i hope. (reaction on mail published on shogi-l at 26th of Jul 2007). Have a nice day.
