This is my 82nd anime watched. Few are the same show, but different season. I also have a few continuing anime that I watch, namely Naruto: Shippuden and Bleach. This anime is also known as just Shion's King.
Shion no Ou:Shion's King was excellent. A large part of the anime was based on shogi or Japanese chess; it was played during every episode. The anime actually made me want to learn to play shogi. I learned mahjong because of anime (the four person game, not solitaire version). I figure I like chess, so I should like shogi.
Back to the anime, which is 22 episodes long. I enjoyed every second. The main character is a little girl whose birth parents were murdered in front of her 8 years ago. She was adopted and raised by the neighbors who for some reason do not have children of their own. You meet a boy, who pretends to be a girl, to play shogi, to win money. You also get to meet some interesting characters. I'll tell you if you begin watching this anime, you'll be surprised close to the end of the season on who the real killer is of Shion's parents. I would rate this anime a solid four out of five stars.
