| Wow, I wonder what happened to Arata D=. Probably has something to do with his grandfather. |

| I think this show is determined to make me cry every episode... |
| finally modern High School Chihaya!!! and wow when did Chihaya had Wataya's number?? wahh Doctor is still lively as ever! Taichi's GF :D lol Chihaya is left behind. love how Doctor ordered Taichi to buy some chocolate and he was forced to buy the high quality Godiva ones!! the match was intense!!!! pushing Chihaya to it's limit! that Yasuda guy is seriously strong! but Chihaya is better!!!!!! here are some of her snapshots during the match!! and wow what a complete 180 turn by Wataya, i didn't like Taichi at first due to treating Chihaya back then, but wow i didn't even think Wataya would surpass Taichi in terms of douchebagness. i mean after all those years, Chihaya hold back on calling you, not to mention claiming you want to be the best in japan and you turn out like this? fucking wow. we're only 4 episodes and a lot of things already happen. i can feel it, this is gonna be a emotional ride. now i don't know which Chihaya would choose. all i can say is fight hard Chihayaa! |
| Back to the 'present'..looks to me like Taichi still likes Chihaya. And i think Arata not playing karuta anymore has something to do with his grandpa's death? |
 |
strontsmoel said: I love this anime for some reason :D Me too! It was a real surprise for me, since it's about a card game and all, but I'm actually finding Karuto really interesting :) |
 |
| I don't know how good the romance in this anime will be. I'll keep my expectations low. The conflict with Arata not playing anymore seemed predictable. |
 |
| Great episode! Awesome that she won but the ending was actually quite sad, I wonder what's next! |
 |
| Arata's voice is cool imo. |
| Chihaya is so pretty! Her and taichi are perfect together! |
| 5/5 These two guys, as they are unreliable, another tile on top of Chihaya! D: Plot that shows off a new unexpected, the cliffhanger is not bad, I expected him not to do so. Intense narration, scenery very beautiful, thanks to the color design with warm colors, designs, animations and BGM are discreet! : D |
 |
| 1. Chihaya worked hard to reach rank A 2. Glad childhood arc is over. I prefer high school & older cuz they show more emotion. 3. Wonder why arata quit the game 6/10 |

| Damn Taichi, he spent $70 on those chocolates and Chihaya eats them real quick lol. He's way TOO kind. That match was very demanding and it just goes to show how fit karuta players have to be. They need to be quick in their instinct, able to endure the long hours of memorizing and playing, quick hand movement, able to have great eye vision of how the cards are set, and able to predict the players strategy. That guy Chihaya was facing knew her strategy. She always left her Chihaya card last to win. It was interesting that the Chihaya card was used as a hot potato card. That plot twist at the end with Wataya telling Chihaya he no longer plays karuta was surprising. It seems that there's some dark history with him based on when he hanged up he went into the hallway. |
 |
| I wonder what happened to the glasses guy |
| Chihaya is so funny xD i couldn't stop laughing Wow, I was expecting this scene with Arata to pop-up but haha, it still shocked me xD |

| Yes! Some drama! But it all seems happening so naturally to me :) Loved it!!! |
 |
| So its got miyano and hosoya? Im sold. |
| Ouuuuuch. I think he have read too much about the red pill, that's not good for your health x) That was ice cold. Taichi, I know Chihaya is cute as fuck, but you have a girlfriend. Good boy don't cheat on their girlfriend »:( |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| So she gets "mad" because he's got a girlfriend but there will still be no romance. Why put unnecessary stuff like this in an anime? |
 |
| Another very good episode :) Hard to believe a show about a card game could be this good! |
| Bijin Chihaya is back :3 The duel was awesome. Good episode. |
| Chihaya was great in this episode. It was predictable that Arata stopped playing, I guess because his grandfather died or something like that, but let's see.... |
| Ughhh I can't get into this anime no matter how many episodes I watch. Guess I'm not in the mood for this type of anime right now. |
| lol at Chihaya's expression when Taichi's gf called him Ta-chan lmao the chocolate sign is very epic! whoa Chihaya won the tournament! |

| Agh Chihaya, your being too cruel to Taichi by being so innocent. I suppose that's what he deserves for being such a jerk to Arata as a kid xD I'm guessing Arata's grandfather passed away which somehow led to him quitting Karuta. |
 |
| Such intensity during Chihaya's match,going into this series wasn't expecting karuta to be so interesting to watch and to keep my attention so much. Gloomy scene prior to the call gave away that Arata quit karuta due to his grandfather quitting for me. |

| This anime is genius, why? it takes a boring card game and transforms it into something great. The soundtrack is amazing too. |
| it goes to show you things are bound to change across tome...arata was always seen as someone misreble...something bad must have happened |
 |
| Godiva chocolate lol What are you a boyfriend at valentine's day? Not the burning eyes of highschool girl That's my only weakness xD Kinda expecting that.. Probably because of his grandpa |

| I'd love to be able to fall asleep instantly (with eyes open, no less) as Chihaya does... Arata's attitude is mildly annoying, though. |
| Chihaya worked really hard to get to class A. Arata seems to be really lonely, I wonder what happened. |
 |
| Some of the GODIVA chocolates I ate sucked and their ice cream was so-so. What sucks the most is their shop assistants, at least in my country. That being said, Taichi was really kind to buy the expensive chocolate for Chihaya. Still I ship Chihaya×Taichi, even since the first ep when he's a little jealous jerk. Let's be honest, who's always been so kind & nice like Chihaya in your whole life? At least he's always sincere to Chihaya. |
 |
| Chihaya had a tough match, but still managed to win. And Arata stopped playing karuta.. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Arata stopped playing Karuna? What may be the reason? Will he again start playing? Excited to watch all the episodes. |
| Karuta match was surprisingly exciting. Not surprised that Arata has seemingly quit Karuta. No way things could be that easy. |
 |
| Chihaya managed to win against her opponent and managed to make it to Class A. It was surprisingly fun to watch. |
 |
| figures that arata would stop playing, it makes more drama. just have to find out the reason why now |
| Come on how could Arata stop playing karuta?! I think it may be related to his gramps, I'm speculating that he died... |
 |
| I'm not liking Chihaya so far... there's plenty of genki girl types like her and the whole "I have a dream" thing doesn't bring anything new. |
 |
| Poor Taichi. I could see myself buying the $70 chocolates in a situation like that, so I can really sympathize. LOL. I think Arata quitting karuta was telegraphed pretty heavily, so it wasn’t a surprise. Most likely, his grandfather’s death and/or his father’s influence had something to do with it. Recall the scene of him seeing his father with that woman? Anyway, these episodes are blowing by surprisingly fast. This must have been excruciating to watch weekly back when it first aired. It’s just like those chocolates; you want to keep scarfing them down. |
| Chihaya's skills improved a lot over the years! Whut, Arata stopped playing karuta?! This lariat, by the way, looks to be fun and very interesting to be honest. :D |
| I knew he was going to not play anymore!! I wonder if it's storyline such as 'now my grandfather has passed, I can't stand to look at the game anymore' or something. It's so sad though! It made him so happy as a kid!! |
| I guess Arata either got beat badly or something happened with his grandfather/family. |
 |
| Back to the present where it looks like Arata's stopped playing? |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
