| Loved Tskukuba's iwanttobegood-face XD I actually used to live in a town called Tsukuba : D It's close to Tokyo. |
| jeez back to the main story please |
    |
| I find Sumire a little irritating, but to be honest, I feel like that leaves room for lots of positive character development. Also I think part of me started shipping KanaxSumire ;P Anyway, I hope we get to some matches soon. One of the things I found most charming about season 1 was that I ended up finding the Karuta part of it much more exciting than expected, so I can't wait for more. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Ahhh wow great episode! I have missed this show so much :') I actually like Sumire a lot. She's so different from all the other members it's really interesting to see how she interacts with them. Accidentally blurting out her feelings for Taichi ... ah :P I love how she was committed to learning at the end though, even clipping her nails ... Tsukaba is really interesting too. I'd like to know more about the Second Verse Karuta that he plays. Such interesting things that Chihaya noticed ... haha, he only likes pretty people LOL XD Also his eyes open and the licks his lips ... creepy! XD Really nice scene at the end between Kana and Sumire. I mean, about love ... yeah, that's what the poems are about but they still adhere to the rules! Kana asking to be taught to put on mascara ... and how crying shows a beautiful soul ... wow *_* GOSHDARNIT ONCE A WEEK IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS SHOW :( |
| KANA-CHANNNNN! HNGGG, SO CUTE!!!!! 5/5 |

Aoi_hana said: These being said, I am definitely trying to resist the urge to smash my computer's screen whenever I see something inappropriate or plain horrible in this sequel. I asked someone knowledgeable of this and said that if we take for example K-ON!! that started with an awfully non-comedic first episode but then later developed to be even better than the first season and exceeded many of its fans' expectations, then Chihayafuru might as well do the same and surprise all of us by actually providing us with a proper ending, with Chihaya's growth of character (and of others as well), with the solution of the seemingly nonexistent love triangle between Arata, Chihaya and Taichi. But, no! Instead of these, I have to endure the presence of two little brats with beautiful nails and boys and creepy smiles and tongue outside of mouth. I'm asking this again, since it's not said enough. Why are they doing this? Is it all about money? Said person answered "Because we can't have good things.". Haha this is just...no. First of all, this is not "all about money". Chihayafuru has terrible sales on DVD/BD. The second season was a godsend and unexpected by many. Also, it follows the manga...which is still ongoing with almost 20 volumes. Meaning unless they do an anime-original ending, there most likely will not be any sort of conclusion to the story after another 25 episodes. Finally, we are only on episode 2 of the series. It is way too early for people to be freaking out about it being inferior to season one or to say there hasn't been any development. Give the show time to do something. |
| Tsukuba was the highlight of this episode for me. He needs his ass kicked a little but I kind of look forward to seeing that. As for Sumire, well, her development is inevitable and predictable, but I'm glad they're not drawing it out or I'd get really impatient with her. |
| Let's talk about how all the 1st year girls wanted to join only because of Taichi, which is not unusual in itself and rather expected, but what is unusual is that Taichi's (and not Chihaya's!) charm also got the only guy among them, Tsukuba, roped in. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| I like Sumire, quite charming, it will be intresting to see her pursuit Taichi seriously. If anythig to see how Chihaya feels about that. Sumire infinitely >>>>> than Arata FUCK ARATA. Damn bastard. |
| Hanano is now officially dedicated to karuta, how exciting. I honestly wonder how long it's going to take Chihaya to start calling the other new first year 'Scuba' because... it's a perfect nickname for him. My only other prevalent thoughts about this episode pertain to the fact I miss the original theme and ending songs quite a bit. Sigh. I'm sure I'll get used to these, but they don't fit nearly as well. |

Veretax said: Although I really like all the complicated character subtexts, one of the central plots that tie everything together still remains Arata and Taichi using Karuta to compete for Chihaya's attention (as well as Chihaya's rivalry with Shinobu), so I do want to see her winning matches. As I see it Chihayafuru will reach a solid ending when either Taichi or Arata successfully confesses to Chihaya, and/or Chihaya successfully establishes herself as the Queen (or at least comes close).I don't care if Chihaya ever wins another match at this point. I love her passion to see her team grow. |

tsudecimo said: I see karuta as a manifestation of the romance. It's Taichi's way of challenging Arata on fair grounds instead of making a move on Chihaya directly.katsucats said: tsudecimo said: lol? I haven't read the manga, but isn't this one of the central premises that's been hinted at? I mean Taichi likes Chihaya, doesn't he?katsucats said: lol keep dreaming .-.As I see it Chihayafuru will reach a solid ending when either Taichi or Arata successfully confesses to Chihaya yea he likes chihaya but doesn't mean he is gonna confess , arata don't have romantic affection for chihya and chihya think of arata as a special person more than taichi but doesn't realize she loves him , either way it is made clear that the focus of the show is not romance but karuta which is a shame i would think romance would help the show. the manga is ongoing and season 2 won't catch up to it and since there is no final pairing in the manga the same would go for the anime. If the manga is ongoing though then it is fair to assume there will be no conclusion, but I still think what I said before would be an ideal dramatic ending. |

| amazing stuff :D wow Taichi fighting the challenger Tsuboguchi from the Master match!! soo bold :P Kana-chan despite appreciating the help from Chihaya, needs to follow certain guidelines on how to clean!! looks like there's only 1 member left! Sumire to the rescue!!! she must have felt good when Taichi touch her hand!!! ;) Sumire loves her mascara :P seriously what the hell is wrong with this guy O___O Chihaya getting worried they're not concentrating well seems we've got a glimpse on how they play!! why the hell did you run straight as a bullet Chihaya .___. Kana Chan with that heart to heart talk with Sumire :) Sumire now determine to play and understand Karuta!! can't wait for more episodes of them playing :) |
| Only the second episode and we're already seeing development with Sumire's character yes this show is very promising so far I think I might like it as much as the first season ;w; |
| Looking forward to seeing Arata. Sumire.... meh. Don't like those type of characters. |
| OMG Kanade said she only had 3 eyelashes on each eye. Which is true as it appears in the anime. I was always under the impression that anime characters have just as many eyelashes as humans, this isn't the case though. What you see is what you get. THIS IS A HUGE REVELATION PEOPLE. Anyways, great episode. |

ownosourus said: Hate Sumire, she is so annoying and ruins the story. And that other new guy is creepy. Atleast the main guys are still the same. Also want to see Arata. I heard of that Arata will be in this season but I was severely disappointed.. Sumire was so damn annoying that I couldn't enjoy the whole damn episode, same with Chihaya.. The new guy is in the least a bit interesting but there is no doubt that the face he did is creepy lol.. WHERE IS MAI ARATA? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Ugh Sumire -___- Hoping for an attitude change asap. |
| The new boy has personality... hes freaking hilarious. LOL |
 |
| This pace is really wonderful! The episode especially the ending was really great, the two new members and especially that guy has some weird traits, but well it makes it interesting non the less! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I'm liking Tsukuba now, last episode no one talk about him but i did. Honestly he is creepy, but i know that he will be strong as Chihaya. I hate the Sumire girl, she only plays karuta for love but i also know that she will be strong with a technique, that also goes with Tsukuba. I wanted to see Arata now with his marvelous voice accent. I wonder how strong he is now. Another great episode with funny scenes. 5/5 |

| Eh....boring episode....Sumire's character is nothing new...least at the end she learned not to be a whiny b*tch, other than that, nothing special so far.... |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Loved how Sumire was humming last season's OP when in the bathroom!. You get points for that. ^_^ |
| 5/5 Interesting episode, the focus is not fool is strengthened by the intervention of Tsukuba and its explanation of Karuta Hokkaido. Not bad, however, even when the narrative focuses on Sumire and its a bit difficult to insert into the club. Despite having given so much space to Sumire, the episode was well managed in terms of narrative and plot, as mentioned before, does not lose the enamel. It will be my feeling, but it seems as if the atmosphere is already so loaded. Drawings and animations good, always so charismatic characters, not be comparable to the characters that run today in the current series. I can not wait to see the next episode |
 |
| I can't feel but enjoy the new guy. Every time he slurped his tongue out it reminded me of Wade Barret, delicious, just delicious. He's creepy I'll give him that and I'd like to see him take on Retro-kun lol. Sumire go away, you're awful and ruining the show. |
 |
| That Tsukuba guy is fucking hilarious |
| Sumire is not that bad, really. That new guy is way worse with his creepy expression :o |
| That Sumire bitch is relly annoying. Develop her fast pls. ok, there's still some hope for her |
| Sumire is...irritating...And that other guy and his tongue?!? |
| Starting to dislike Chihaya tbh. Just seems pretty annoying this season >_> Lieila said: I marvel about this show and how they executed this episode for the newbies/first years without dragging and being too cliche. Felt pretty cringe worthy to me. |
 |
| I love the new SADISTIC BOY member hahaha. Hopefully he won't be a laugh device... hope none of them will, actually. |
