Ryuuou no Oshigoto!’s second episode is here, and it didn’t take long for the show to hop into the action we’ve been waiting for. Oh, and a lot of loli screentime.

Sota Fujii, Ryuuou no Oshigoto!, and the New Age of Shogi
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
—Mark Twain
I have been seeing a lot of responses to Ryuuou no Oshigoto! (The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done) right after the anime started airing. Among them, one that I frequently encounter is “how unrealistic the plot of the story is”. On one side, we have a 9-year old girl who has only played shogi for three months; on another, we have… a 16-year old boy who is both a professional shogi player and a title holder. Some remarked how the child prodigy trope is utilized too excessively, which ruined the so-called realism of the show.
But, is it really unrealistic? Or, if I were to pose another question, to what extent would a real-life achievement in shogi be considered “realistic”?
In this post, I won’t be talking about Hifumi Kato, a former Meijin who is the professional shogi player with the longest career. Nor will I be talking about Yoshiharu Habu, who is the only person ever to be qualified for seven professional lifetime titles in shogi. This time, it’s about Sota Fujii, the youngest professional shogi player who recorded a winning streak of 29 matches at his young age of 14.

A Fan Tweets Death Threats to Voice Actress Risa Taneda
Voice actress Risa Taneda who recently announced her return to the world of voice acting has recently received a series of death threats from a Twitter user, who seems to be a fan of fellow voice actress Rie Takahashi.
Through his Twitter accounts, one of which has been suspended, the user posted several tweets in attempt to curse and “wish Taneda to commit suicide”. His most recent tweet features the following photo and caption:
Rieri is bashed because of Taneda, so I want to kill Taneda! Please help spread this message to drive Taneda into suicide! All for the sake of Rieri!
The reason behind the user’s action seems to be based on assumptions that Taneda’s return would have a possible effect on the role of Mashu Kyrielight from popular mobile game Fate/Grand Order, which is currently voiced by Rie Takahashi since October 1, 2016 due to the former’s hiatus in order to focus on medical treatment for her illness.
