Blood Stained King
Shion beats Honma in a shouji battle known as “The Boy Genius VS The Girl With Strategy.” The bad part is in the middle of the match Honma had wrote the symbol for king on his forehead which made Shion remember the day of her parents murder. Looks like the murderer is making his move toward Shion. The focusing on the phone made matters even worse because I knew it meant that he would call her and so he did at the end of the episode.

Ayumi will be facing against Shion’s dad, Shinji. This shougi round was between Saori and Kamizono. Saori beat him. Not really an interesting episode to watch, but whenever Kamizono did his mean face, Scary!

[Summary]
Shion and Saori begin their shougi match while Satoru and Kobayashi watch. Examining the match, Satoru states that Shion is strange because when she plays shougi, time itself flows differently around her. Shion doesn’t have that feeling of winning when she plays shougi with Ayumi. She figures out that Saori isn’t paying attention to the pieces and puts down her move which stuns Saori. Saori thinks either to forfeit or wait until time runs out. Satoru stops the match saying that this is enough for today.

It was weird that Shion had 2 stalkers. I thought she only had one. She must be very popular which is not a good thing. One down and one more to go. When Shion remembers something about her parent’s death, it just makes me want to cry =(. What is the relation between the stalker and her parents? Someone should find that stalker and beat the crap out of him, so he never messes with Shion ever again. I don’t know what to expect of the next episode, but I bet it will have more twists.

The Stalker’s Wall of Shion!! He has a huge obsession which is creepy. *scared*
[Impression]
Creepy is the word I would use to describe this episode. Everywhere you turn you will always see that stalker. The stalker might have been the killer of her parents. They look exactly the same. Will Shion die in the next episode? If she did, then this would have been the shortest anime ever, lasted for 3 episodes. So she won’t died, of course. The creepy wall he has is just makes it more scary. The more deeper we get into this anime, the more deadly it becomes. Even though its kinda predictable, I would give this 2 thumbs up. It would be really creepy to have a stalker, wouldn’t it?

I really like this. The things I like about this is that the main character is a girl who is mute. I don’t know if they use that in any other anime. This episode was a good mix of things like murder, competition, and more. Also I like the stalker thing too, even though it was kinda creepy. Why would you stalk a girl that is in elementary school who is able to play shougi very well? What really surprised me was that Ayumi was actually a boy? He didn’t look like a boy until at the end. They left us at a cliffhanger. I wonder what is gonna happen. I hope Ayumi beats up that fool or something. I never played shougi, but it looks hard. It something like chess, but totally different from it. Hope that the next episode is entertaining as this one. =D It great that they gave Shion a voice even though it’s her thoughts. The opening and ending rock!!!!!
