When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! |
  |
| Arata might not be able to play AND they postponed the Birdman Rally. That's pretty much the worst case scenario. |
| Wow, I was really surprised at the amount of focus that was given to Arata this episode. For a main character (supposedly), he hasn't been showcased or explored very much, but this week's concept was a great way to bring us back to the Arata we got acquainted with at the beginning of the first season while also delving into the new, matured individual he's grown into. But nooo, I hope that ending is meant to be a red herring. I was so looking forward to watching him play in the individual matches, because watching him play Karuta is just amazingly enjoyable. |
| Man if their reunion gets another postponement I'm going to die, they've been separated long enough now. |
| Arata episode !!! Arrhggghh! Dont like, FUCK ARATA, BASTARD. |
| Just when I thought the cliffhangers were over with, they throw another in my face and make me not being able to focus on anything else other than "what's going to happen to Arata!? D:< " It's just full of bad news for everyone in this episode: Mizusawa is up against an all A class team, Taichi is worried Arata may be around and how it affects his relationship between Chihaya and Arata, and Arata faces a possibility of being barred from playing in the tournament, making his long awaited come back moot and reunion with his friends from Mizusawa more awkward. chinvincible said: Can I ship Shinobu and Arata. They look good together. The queen made my day. Her strangeness is so cute - she reminds me of Frau Kojiro. Shinobu reminds me a bit of Kona from Robitics;Notes too. |

 |
| God Arata, you're such a deadpan. I really like his seiyuu though, the cadence of his voice is very soothing. edit: Reading that he speaks with an accent, that really makes sense. He reminded me of the Korean actor Yong Joon Bae. |

| Arata, I missed you so much! :'( I spent all the first season wanting to watch him playing and now finally... hokaru said: lol at Shinobu's disappointed reaction when Arata asked who she is xD hahaha xD And, I love his accent. :D 5/5 |
    |
| I really want to see him play in the individuals, hope he doesn't get disqualified. He owned so bad the other dude when he put his glasses on. |
| An Arata episode! Finally! "Team tournament? That isn't for players who love Karuta?" Really? I wasn't sure after you repeated the phrase like 10 times in the 20 minute episode. Jeez. |
| 5/5 like usual Every episode of Chihayafuru: IT'S OVER ALREADY??!!?! ;_; Poor baby. Please let him be able to play in the individuals. :C PLEASEEE. JohnGalt89 said: Arata might not be able to play AND they postponed the Birdman Rally. That's pretty much the worst case scenario. IKR :X |
I lol'd. Anyway, pretty good ep. I think it's dumb he joined them, but I also think its dumb he could be disqualified from the individual tournament. They're separate tournaments right? Why does that affect the other? It's not like his team won either. |
| These episodes seem soooooo short! I love this anime. |

| aw wouldve been funny if arata faced chihaya and her team in a team fight. stupid laws |
    |
| WHAAAAAT!!!? AN ARATA EPISODE OUT OF NOWHERE?!!! BEST WEEK EVER!! <3 <3 Seriously.. Seeing him play again was just fantastic. Though if he doesn't play in the individual tournament, I'm gonna be f****** pissed off. I wanted him and Chihaya to meet again. D: Their moments are so touching. |
Edefrem said: When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! LOL xD But yeah, finally, we had an Arata episode! Damn, he's really a main character? 5/5 |
 |
| I don't know how I still find this show extremely entertaining and amusing but I do XD |

| I hope Arata won't be disqualified :/ |
  |
| I love Arata and he did develop a lot as a character by playing in the team tournament, but he had to have understood the consequences! Obviously they'd expel him from the individual tournament! (though they probably won't in this case) |
| WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GREAT T_T LOVED the Arata and Shinobu interaction ... poor Shinobu, her rally was cancelled! :( So they always used to play each other in school huh ... ah, I want to know more about that! :O Our lovely team has troubles ahead ... 5 class A players?! Holy crap lol O_O That'll be tough ... sorry guys, Arata won't be watching you! D: Seriously nice to see Arata thinking about the team vs. individual tournaments ... love how he got caught up in another school's run, but WOW DANG. He's good ... yeah, playing without glasses ... I'd totally forgotten about that happening in the past! O_O Coming back from 15 down ... so inspiring and how his "teammates" reacted :') Although of course that's not allowed ... and he got caught! Urgh D: I highly doubt they'd make him forfeit, but you never know ... I mean that's the whole point of him coming here right?! D: |
| Liked that it was an episode of Arata. Maybe he will make a karuta club now that he remembers how it feels to be part of a team. Though I guess it's bad that he's not going to participate in the individual matches. and neither is Shinobu right? I wonder how Taichi and Chihaya will take it... |
 |
| Which Chapter/volume is this in the manga? |
| Phew, I've finally catched up with you guys such an amazing series ! this is one of the few shows that made love each and every episode, fantastic work really. characters development is the strongest element in my opinion. I want to see Arata play ! : ( |

| Lol,Shinobu loves Arata:) |

KingYoshi said: These episodes seem soooooo short! I love this anime. Agreed! Can't get enough of this anime! I feel bad for Taichi who currently resides in the friendzone. |
Edefrem said: When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! I got the same reaction *-* This episode full with Arata!! it was such a bliss <3~ It's true that he disobeyed the rules but I hope he doesn't get barred from the tournament ;O; |

ainky said: Edefrem said: When I realized we finally get to see Arata play!!! LOL xD But yeah, finally, we had an Arata episode! Damn, he's really a main character? 5/5 Let me second that;D Anyway absent main characters sometimes...give the best impact;P Meet male Fuwa Aika |

| Douchebag sensei should have let Arata slide! He better not have been disqualified... 4/5 |

| Finally some Arata action!!! I really enjoyed watching him play some more and coming through for those boys even though he's going to face the consequences now... ;;.;; |
| amazing stuff!!! glad we get to see some history between Arata and Shinobu and his love for team play!!!! lol Arata at first was harsh with Shinobu XD poor Shinobu XD i knew it Arata used to beat Shinobu back then!! guess that's how she became strong to become a queen. also she always say there's always room for improvement, definitely referencing arata with her defeat with him!! yeah Kyoto women can be scary .____. Karuta players really have some weird hobbies XD really love Wakayama's face and hair!! soo gorgeous!!!! lol such a tease XD very weird seeing coming from Chihaya telling Taichi to concentrate more XD then again she is serious on becoming japan's no.1 team! Masked Arata!!! Arata in beast mode!!!!!! Arata will be disqualified?!?!?! O___O no way!!!!! i think what's gonna happen is that since Za Queen's event got cancelled, she'll join the team tournament with Arata or she will revoke Arata's punishment since she has high power as Za Queen!!! next week more Arata gameplay please!!!!!! |
| OH GOD i loved this episode because Arata finally got an episode focused around him, and it was an interesting one too! it really showed how selfless he can be. i just hope he doesnt get disqualified :( |
