This actually should have been the thread for this title. I can't find any better laconic description for this series.

The only thing it's missing is the mandatory musical sequence.

If they're following the manga chapters, then the next one will be a little more adorable

Yeah I was unsure how well it would transition to being animated, but the animation adds so much to Yokoi's imagination of the events that I don't know why I doubted it. The show is pretty much pitch perfect to the manga, and it has a fantastic ED to boot. Robot family is going to be the best episode when they get to it.

Sadly, given that it looks like they're following the manga chapter to chapter, unless it's more than one cour, the series won't be reaching it.

I agree with this sentiment actually. The dominoes were pretty cool, but in terms of sheer creativity on the writers' end the shougi war story wins by miles. I would love to see much more of that kind of creativity.

Well you'll love the chess episode then

The OAD that was bundled with the 5th manga volume is now floating around your dodgy torrent site of choice.

It contains the sand chapter and the cat chapter, so those probably wont be appearing in the series. They're not the best anyways...

This is the last anime opening where I'd expect a bass drop. :stare:

I'm now imagining Seki-kun literally composing the song and dramatically dropping the bass, shaking everything around him.

Why is that song so familiar? I keep thinking it was in Evangelion, but I'm not sure.

Also, I don't know why I'm blown away by there being a scene outside of the school.

It's a pretty common song in Japan. I think it was the theme for the World Cup when it was in Japan for Japan in 1998.
