| This first episode was really quite refreshing. Scenery and colours were beautiful, as well as the character design. Strong characters and lovely story to begin with. Hope it keeps up:) |
| Wow I LOVED this first episode! I swear I've heard Chihaya's seiyuu before, but apparently not. I really like her character though! :O FLASHBACK ALREADY?! Wow Taichi was super different when he was a child! O_O ALSO I KNEW IT, HIS VOICE ♥ I don't know much about this game but it looks pretty intense (lol), and Arata was pretty awesome lol XD The art was pretty amazing except even Taichi had his eyelashes super long lol XD Wow now I want to watch more of this XD I liked the OP and ED too, it was quite nice ... ah, glad I started watching this finally XD |
| It's a bit late to start with Chihayafuru now but whatever. Most animes have the tendency to have a weak 1st episode. This one however was quite interesting, I hope it'll stay that way. 24 episodes to go! |
 |
| Wow is all I have to say about this first episode. That exceeded my expectations for sure... it didn't seem like an Anime I would be into considering the theme, but it was actually pretty good. Oh and the ED was amazing as well! :D |
 |
| Karuta looked quite interesting and Arata was damn dramatic lol. |
| I laughed out loud right from the start , track pants +skirt+belt = ROFL |
| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| Man, what a great start to an anime! Looks pretty epic already! |

| Looks promising already! Was that a deception grab by Arata? |

| love the first episode :D the opening and ending is nice! it's good they provided a backstory and why Chihaya loves Karuta. so her name is "swift" huh? soo fast! that Taichi guy is such a fucking jerk. who the hell pushes a girl like that. Arata seems to be the type of person who hangs with people of his interest. i wonder if he has any feelings to Chihaya as well? great start, im starting to like Chihaya now! you can laugh at her putting a pants under a skirt, but she really is a true beauty. stupid people, judging her on how she dress. on to the next episode!! |
| Wow, that was a great episode 1. I've read a bit of the manga years back, and I was not particularly interested in the the anime adaptation, but I think after watching the first episode, I am definitely excited to see the rest of the episodes! I like the art style as well. And though I don't think I'll be able to play Karuta, it is interesting to learn about the game! |
 |
| I've been putting this off way too long. This was better then I could have hoped for. The artstyle is great, and this episode was completely entertaining. |
 |
| Re-watching before I start the second season! >:D That was soooo good!! |
|
| The start of a dream, this was captured beautifully in the back story of this episode! The amount of detail that has been put into this surely is topnotch. We already see some great development character and story wise. Combined with great art and animation this anime sure has a lot of potential. |
 |
| Chihaya is like a tomboy but she is cute imo. |
| Wow! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| The character designs kind of remind me of Honey and Clover. I like how this is going so far. BGM was also really great along with the ED that I've already heard before (and love). I have a feeling I'll like this show very much. |

| SDFWEGHWLEKXCV. I was trying so hard not to start with season 2 that I started with episode 25. Oh well, this one feels like it's worth it. I really like Chihaya's character design and personality. Also super accessible since both seasons are on Crunchyroll. |
| 5/5 But what is this stuff? Fabulous! The game did not tell me almost nothing, but the OST and warm colors have ignited my passion. Character design is not the most beautiful, but it seems fit for purpose. Good job Madhouse regarding the animations, the scenarios are not superb, but are still of good quality. How nice to see the characters that children from large to nonn have the same haircut. Curious to find out what in store for me this anime series, given the high rating given by other users! * _ * |
 |
| taichi (and almost all characters) just fucking piss me off. horrible first impressions despite an interesting start. |

| Well...I'm interested...... |
 |
| 1. what brought me here is the beautiful ost. in love with it already 2. not sure if card game will catch my interest. kind of reminds me of yugioh, pokemon... and such. 3. but this one is different. the color tone, ost, the way they talk, & the mood... it has a calm intensity thats very alluring. 7/10 |

| How did his mom figure out she wasn't a guy? That's some intuition there |
| Flashback episode on how Wataya and Chihaya met. Those classmates including Taichi were mean to him because he was always lonely and never talked. I'm curious as to how the card game works. |
 |
| Mmm, this is a really interresting first episode, even if it's a pretty weird game in my opinion xD I wonder how they'll make it and keep it interresting. Anyway, the themes look good. From the OP, I can see that the friend will get closer to the karuta but from the ED, it look like they'll grew to take opposite direction. |

HiNT74 said: Just some sort of memory game? There doesn't seem to be much depth to that... Other than that didn't like the characters too much, including Arata. No, its not just memory, you need good technique and speed as well. |
| I love the heroine already xD |
 |
| Wow. I'm speechless. Love it. <33 |
 |
| And thats why I hate kids. Out of about 30 kids theres only one decent one. I have to admit tho, I was very similar to Taichi in my childhood. Even in the way I showed my affection. |

| Really enjoyed this first episode, heard many great things about this.... The way they were treating him was pissing me off though. |
| I like the game. Enjoyable episode. |
| Nice episode. I like it that they already now, in the beginning, explained the past. |
| That... was different. But cute. The girl isn't annoying so far so I have high hopes. |
| Damn Chihaya is hot. ♥ o ♥ I was confused when the flashback happened because Chi and Taichi looked so much younger than I expected. Taichi was a dick for pushing that poor kid. I'm glad Chi stood up for Arata. I'm still trying to figure out how karuta works but I think I will get it soon. The animations during that karuta game were really fluid. Pretty good first episode. There's a bit more comedy than I expected there to be but I think I will manage. 7/10 |
| Well, I don't know anything about Kurata but I enjoyed the first episode. I hope I could learn the rules of the games in the next episodes so I could enjoy this series. Love the art! |

| Pretty good first episode though I'm not buying that they grew that much in only 3 years lol. Also, kids can be such jerks : / |
 |
| What? You can be poor without having deadbeat parents in anime. The show does look promising but i'm not really feeling the whole game aspect of it. |
| Animation is on point, but man kids are such little assholes. |
| :) |
| Great first episode. |
| Rewatched this with my friend who has never seen it before. Great start as always!! Based Madhouse. Only problem was having the OP theme in the beginning. I think they should have put it at the end to not ruin the flow of the storytelling. Mamo sounds fucking cute. |
