One word: WOW!!

After an intense 3 episode match between Mizusawa and the all-girl school, its finally finished! I was so nervous Chihaya's team would lose the match. Good thing it didn't happen. Though Chihaya lost against Megumu, it's certain that she'll work 100% harder than before. I'm hoping during the individual match, Chihaya and Megumu will challenge each other again, and Chihaya would win this time around.

Now, I'm guessing the next match against the boy's team will be a 3 intense episode match again. I can't wait for that!!!

A really great episode. Awesome match was awesome. Desktomu really surprised me in the end, I didn't expect him to pull such a trick. Anyway, looking forward to next episode.

OH GOD THIS EPISODE.
The tension!, I was in the edge of tears when Kumano was still playing his game, and when he won... I was so damn happy, really.
And I even started tearing up when Meguru was crying ;_;
This episode was soooo intense.

I know I don't have to wait anymore to give this a 10.

Bloody, my ankle hurts!!
:)) I was digging into my right ankle just the way Chihaya was digging into her palm. After Chihaya's loss (which I believed would happen), Komano's match just was.. BLOODY AAAAH! Waaaahe! :))))
The tension I couldn't bear it, and I've really never fan-girled as such while watching any series, but wow, today was just.. :))) I was all jumping up and down my seat waving my arms at that win. LMAO. Totally like this:

Lulexiaa said:




Chihaya is strong.. and yet she still has to overcome herself in order to be able to push herself further. There are still certain blocks, and the sway of her feelings.. There's still that immaturity about her that poses a wall against her being completely professional in her play. It's her charm, but that's where her growth lies. She's a wonderful character to watch. And to be honest, I'm enjoying her losses as much as her wins. It's not easy, that progress. It's just not a sweet piece of cake.

I'm enjoying how Sumire is getting geared up to play her own matches. The team's fire is passing on to her. =D
About Tsukuba wanting to play, it's true that Kana chan has a higher probability of loss since she's so tired. A good bet IS actually to go with Tsukuba, but then it'll be primarily to develop his skill. He would lose, but he'll be gearing up for it especially after watching how Kana-chan gave it her all despite being so tired. Sumire needs a match to play too. I hope she plays a lot of matches in the individuals. They all will enroll, right?

AlexTheRiot said:

Speaking of, has Taichi lost a match in this tournament? Dude's pulling his weight and serving as Chihaya's emotional support. Though if Arata shows up to watch the finals I have a feeling he'll be under more pressure than Chihaya and blow it.


I definitely agree with Taichi's support. He's very observant with Chihaya, but definitely, if he notices Arata watching, he might succumb to pressure both ways (skill watch + Chihaya's choice). But he always does that. So it would be interesting if he could overcome that on his part. :) I'm REALLY liking Taichi now. ^_^ I love how he didn't say anything to Chihaya when he opened her hand. ^_^

THIS FUCKING SHOW.

Such a good episode. One of the best yet. Having Desktomu and Kana win shows such growth for the team and the two of them as karuta players. And even more so, everyone is starting to realize how strong Mizusawa and Chihaya are. You can be sure at next year's tournament they will not be an "unknown school".

Off topic, I am going to rage if we do not see an Arata/Queen match this season.

Wow, great Shinobu scene ... I mean asking for Arata for a match (which he refuses), and that second sense of hers ... *shivers* She's certainly intense!
The match comes to an end. Chihaya loses her card (though she takes several of Megumu's). Nishida loses (again?!) but Kana wins quickly after - I'm so happy for her! She's been so close recently and it's nice that she got her win. Taichi wins but then yep, Chihaya loses. It all comes down to ... KOMANO?!??! I'm SO glad he got his chance to shine in the spotlight! So yeah, it WAS down to chance, but his own superstitions huh ... I'm so glad :')
It's pretty interesting, with Chihaya and Megumu's reactions ... Megumu won but her team lost, and she's crying and upset! It's OK! Chihaya's the opposite ... she should be happy that her team won but she's angry she lost. Good thing TAICHI'S THERE TO HELP HER RELAX!!! Gosh silly girl, how dense can you be?! D:
Poor Kana ... she's really tired from playing so much isn't she? :( Tsukuba please just stop asking to be put in like that ... I mean, I understand you want to play bu asking nicely would be SO much more effective. YOU BETTER WIN FOR KANA! ;O

So This is actually my first post about Chihaya Furu. I went and randomly browsed some anime for slice of life kinda shows. Then this caught me by surprised. I did a Marathon of it till to this episode so far. I got hooked and i don't know why! Its such a great anime. I was thinking about how they keep saying a team, a team. What if Shinobu, Arata, and Current master of Karuta and two other misc characters, join to defeat Team Mizusawa! ok Im just dreaming now ha ha.

I saw Chihiya losing this one, she just got behind too early IMO for her style to pay of.

I also saw Porky losing because he was too hung up on facing a girl. Oesan getting the first win was a surprise for me, but, when that happened, I had a good idea how this would end.

Chihaya's been losing all the "important" matches this season, she better win in the finals.

This episode was really tense, but now we have the finals!


That was the only important match she lost. The loss in the prefectural finals wasn't important, she was using it as practice for her new swing technique, ready to take the risk of losing the game to improve it.

And... that's pretty much the only other loss in this season. And I doubt she's going to be losing in either the team finals or anytime before the semifinals of the individual tournament unless she runs into Arata, Shinobu or Megumu before. Because these are pretty much the only 3 opponents strong enough to take her down now.


After losing to Megumu now i doubt the author will make her lose to her in the individual tournament also. So only Arata ans Shinobu count.

Putting aside the fact that I wanted to shoot Megumu's fanboys in the head by about halfway through the episode, it was still very enjoyable to watch the original Mizusawa team pull through what is perhaps their closest team match yet. I'm now lamenting the fact that I only have three episodes left (and I know one is just a recap) until I have to wait each week for an episode like everyone else. Impossibru! D:

Chihaya loses too much.
Good episode though.
I predicted a 5% chance of a kiss scene in the first seson.
This season I'm moving it down to a 2% chance, this anime is bad for any kind of romantic development.

The Queen!


The match was pretty tense still imo. Pretty good match even though it was dragged out a little. I still enjoyed it even with the little emotions added in towards the end there.


Lol how can you not know, don't tell me you don't know how to play karuta, still? Megumu won her match with Chihaya but Chihaya's team won the team match.

Tears of happiness and sadness shed. Happy for Desk-kun, he was awesome there, and I think he has rise to become one of my favorite characters along with Shinobu, Arata, and Sudo :) Sad for the all girls school team, so close.. ):

This was a SUPER intense episode.
I'm pretty content with the outcome, even though Chihaya lost. It was still good expereince for her to play against Megumu!
And hooray for Desktomu! Surprised and pleased with how his luck was in his favor, due to a superstition.
The final playoff will definitely be intense, with the new freshman boy filling in for Oe.

Chihaya gave it her best, yet she jobs to Megumu. I feel like Chihaya is being made to lose in the big games while her friends step up to win their matches.

5/5

Beautiful introspection had on the secondary characters, which I thought were just a side dish, as Megumu.
Plot that puts more focus on the facts, compared to the previous season, as well as on Komano and Oe.
Exciting challenge, it was so tense atmosphere that reigned during the narrative to keep me anxious. Too bad that we have not seen much of the meeting Kanade and the other members of Mizusawa.
At the end of more than a clash between the teams was a clash between the players, which in the end despite winning or losing, the two leaders Megumu and Chihaya were dissatisfied anyway.
Shinobu is irritated by the behavior of Arata, what to try? She is jealous of the relationship between Arata and his childhood friends or more? I'm curious.
However Arata and Shinobu are fun.
Drawings and animations good.
The next will be a big challenge! : D
