| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, I loved watching Chihaya and her expressions this episode. So priceless. Another great episode. Some of the karuta matches were great although I didn't enjoy watching Sumire as much. The towel scene was cute. Chihaya and Taichi :3 |

| This show never fails to be beautiful. |
| THIS SHOW IS THE BRIGHTNESS TO MY WEEK ! T u T That Chihaya x Taichi moment! <3 <3 <3 <3 That towel scene! super cute! But it was also so funny how everyone threw their towel at him! XD I DO believe Taichi does have the talent! Its just that he does have bad luck and does crack in the pressure T__T. I love how amazing his character is though. Hes top of his class, always first place in every competition, GOOD LOOKING, you would think he is perfect, but I just love how they actually make him seem like a human as you can see his struggle with Karuta~ ^^ And kufufufufu.. I wonder what Arata's wish is!!! TO MOVE BACK TO TOKYO?! (IN MY DREAMSSSSSSSSS XDD) Chihaya and Taichi are doing so good right now! I dont need a cockblock ; ~; |
| I laughed so much when they all through their towels at Taichi XD It just made my day. Tachi and Chihaya are just so cute together!!! >_< |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Chihaya❤ >u< |
  |
| Intense as always. And I'm not only talking about the match. |
| Aaaah, what an amazing episode! Echoes of Taichi vs. Porky and Kana vs. Desktomu in the first season, and the way it ended was fantastic. I find it so easy to get behind Taichi in situations like this - really gets me into an episode. Chihaya's towel thing illustrates what a lot of people mistake about her. On the surface, she may appear to be focused on karuta to the point of selfishness, but whether she expresses her feelings through karuta or not, she really does care about other people an awful lot... particularly some people, it would appear :P |
| Oh Chihaya... Your face when you were giving your towel was priceless. Those two girls who were crying for Mashima because of his luck were funny. This was a great episode focusing on how Mashima sees himself and applies it to Karuta. It makes a lot of sense what Harada said that how Mashima has the skill to be part of the top class but doesn't believe himself to be. All of the people around him including him have worked hard to be where they are but Taichi believes the people around him have natural gifts that he doesn't(Chihaya, Arata, The King, Queen etc) so his ability goes down as a result. Also what it means to be a leader I found interesting. While it's the leader's job to help support them when his fellow teammates are down he also needs to believe in them and not micro manage them. |
| I liked how Taichi pulled it together. This was a great match. |
 |
| So far this is my favorite episode of the 2nd season, Taichi and the towels were funny! ^_^ |
 |
| Another fantastic episode. The way the point of view can switch from character to character while maintaining focus on one is executed so beautifully, and keeps you interested every second. Towel scene was great. So we can assume if Arata wins the individual high school championship he'll be moving back to Tokyo? Should set up an intense finals match in the future. |
 |
| Arata asking for a wish? lol @ the women around the teacher is worried about Taichi with just no luck. And that Ace guy using what he knows about Taichi and Chihaya. lol @ Taichi's opponent. lol @ every girl including Chihaya giving Taichi handkerchief. |

Damn i would hate it if he loses in the end in Karuta and with Chihaya. I want him to beat Arata at least in one of these two!!! Awesome episode as always. Chihayafuru keeps being beautiful <3 |
 |
| Now that is what I'm talking about!! It's really amazing that Taichi has trained himself to memorize how many cards are left and such. I liked how everyone threw him a towel b/c they knew he was in pain. Really like Taichi and it's not just because of his looks XD |
 |
| Argh, these episodes always fly by and feel way too short. Anyways, Taichi's a great, wonderfully-developed character and has always been my favorite character of the series. I really liked the focus on him this episode and the portrayal of his inner struggles. That towel scene... I'm going to die of cuteness. |
| this guy finally caught a break holy. |
    |
| Can't stop giggling when out of the many towels that Taichi received, he only took Chihaya.. haha.. Taichi x Chihaya forever! |

|
| WOW. That episode got my heart beating so fast!! I was an avid Arata x Chihaya shipper last season but with this season I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. T-THAT TOWEL SCENE >//< HOLY CRAP |
| Nice pink phone arata. |

| Good episode, lolz at people zooming in on Taichi's bad luck. Would have been hilarious if others lost their matches. XD |
| GREAT episode. More Chihaya x Taichi moment. Poor Sumire... lol. I'm rooting for Taichi. His efforts should be rewarded. |

wishbook said: GREAT episode. More Chihaya x Taichi moment. Poor Sumire... lol. I'm rooting for Taichi. His efforts should be rewarded. Chihaya x Arata, Taichi x Sumire, problems solved LOL |
| Why not go for a threesome. Taichi x Chihaya x Arata = OT3! And yes to more screen time for Arata. Such adorable accent from him & family. Lol @ the towel scene. I'm excited to watch their next match. The guys on the other teams were kinda bishies too. |
| Hahah loved it when they all threw their towel at Taichi xD |
| Ahh, it was hard watching Taichi questioning himself. But then, of course, as is the nature of this series, I wanted to root for his opponent as well. D: I have realized the only other series that gives me the depths of feeling like this this season is Uchuu Kyoudai. But that's okay, they are extraordinary. |
 |
| Looks like Arata got his looks from his mom. She is beautiful! Taichi x Towel x Chihaya moment was priceless! That expression on her face! ♥ Taichi doesn't even realize that he is one of the most talented ones out there himself! Class A when?! Sumire-chan recognizing herself as a real member of Mizusawa Karuta club was also nice! Damn! I cannot get enough of this anime! Why you so beautiful, Chihayafuru?! ♥ |

His cellphone background bothered me more. XD Anyways, these episodes fly by too damn fast!! Poor Taichi though, his luck sucks. Maybe if Chihaya gave him a good luck charm... :O fiore777 said: I have realized the only other series that gives me the depths of feeling like this this season is Uchuu Kyoudai.

| Glad to see Taichi's character struggle and development! :) Beautifully shown! Though the parts where he goes O.o at other characters, his voice takes on a weird funny edge! Anyway.. yeah. Even I'm rooting for Taichi x Chihaya.. I was all Arata last season, but seeing them now.. Gah!! No Arata, noooo!! sssss.... =D happy happy! kicks my spirit up with each ep!! =D This should be never-ending!! |

| Dat Chihaya handing Taichi the towel. Hnnnnnnnnggggggg. hpulley said: Chihaya x Arata, Taichi x Sumire, problems solved LOL Fuck. No. It's Chihaya x Taichi and Arata x Shinobu. |
| Taichi used Chihaya's towel =D yay |
 |
| Beautiful episode like usual. Taichi is pretty awesome. I can't memorize cards in my head like that LOL. itsvero said: hpulley said: Chihaya x Arata, Taichi x Sumire, problems solved LOL Fuck. No. It's Chihaya x Taichi and Arata x Shinobu. +1 ChiTai forever. |
| jup, the jealousy of the other guys after the towel scene was the best. i really don't know which of the boys I'd prefer for chihaya. |
| Yay for that towel :) Taichi x Chihaya all the way... |
| WHY IS THIS SHOW SO FREAKING GOOD D; I admit that I LOVE Taichi episodes but wow, this one just really hit me. Of course luck is such an important aspect in sports and games, but I have to agree that just thinking negatively will really influence that. Especially with Taichi thinking he doesn't have enough talent and everything going wrong ... Didn't expect them to face Hiroshi (?) as the coach of the opposing team ... especially when he knows Chihaya and, more importantly, Taichi's weaknesses! That girl facing Taichi was really creepy ... are you allowed to wave your hands all over the playing area like that?! O_O Love that Taichi asked for the towels ... and he got like a million XD CHIHAYA TOO! Leaning over Tsutomu to give it to him ... that's so sweet :3 Sumire knowing about their relationship them checking out the other team because she's part of the club ... such an awesome part :D Taichi you really ARE crazy knowing all the cards that have been read ... but it helped you out in the end didn't it?! I'm so glad you won :3 Especially remembering Harada's advice about how a team match is an individual match and vice versa ... you've gotta focus on your own match and trust your teammates! :P Hokuo's up next! I remember Retro (of course) and the young cute-looking one (lol), but I don't know about the others ...? Sudou's gone but I'm sure the other members are really good too as they made it back to the finals ... URGH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE D; Oh and also Arata! Nearly forgot about him ... wonder what his "request" is? :O Going to Tokyo again, maybe? |
| LOL. Why must Arata's phone be so feminine? |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| Another awesome episode! ArataxChihaya forever!!! :) |
 |
| I'm so glad Taichi won, he pulled himself together just in time. Everyone giving him the towels was funny, but I was glad when Chihaya offered one too. I love every moment these two have together. Taichi needs to become Class A, cause he really deserves it and has worked so hard. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Even I tried to throw a towel for Taichi... i'm feeling so gay... |
