If this continue at this rate, I can easily see Chihayafuru becoming a timeless classic.

Awesome episode, it was totally worth taking time out of studying for finals to watch this.

Kana-chan: "One win for Pizusawa!" Lol I couldn't stop laughing for a good minute.

The shounen-ness of the series was over 9000!!! and thats chihayachi moment!!! damn why cant you just figure hime out chihaya-chan. and Arata you are missing out on the most defining moment of your best friends lives... and the tension of Karuta, i think i might love the game just as much as they do now. I was on the edge of my seat, jumping and crying throughout the match!!!

So did I my friend! So did I! I Was so nervous for Chihaya and the team, And at the end with glasses guy, I was so happy when they won.


Anyways and at the end, with the noob, forgot his name, the one with three little brothers, F*uck the fact that you are part of the team, it's the finals for f*cks sakes! They only need the best in the finals! Like what is wrong with you!!

OHHH my goodness I dont like this. I hope they REJECT his idea.

I seriously don't mind if the season 2 is ending with Omi jingu! I mean, just how awesome can it get? It's always better than I expect! Every episode!

Omg, that Taichi moment! Rejoice! And no more 3 megane-guy moment! REJOICE!

And it's a shame that Kana-chan will retire for the last match :( But it's better than collapsing in the match!

Chihayafuru is a mixture of all genres. there are specific moments in each episode which are shounen-like, especially in the second season and then there are a bunch of sparkly shoujo moments, but the series overall is josei.

THAT CHIHAYA X TAICHI MOMENT <3

I AM SO MAD CHIHAYA LOST. I FUCKING HATE MEGUMU. SERIOUSLY IF CHIHAYA LOST TO MEGUMU HOW IS SHE GONNA WIN AGAINST THE QUEEN? (I guess we won't even get CLOSE to that in this season......)

Lastly, I don't have faith that Mizusawa will trump Fujisaki in the final. Desktomu and Tsukuba will for sure lose, unless they give Tsukuba a chance to shine (character development, you know). Chihaya will win, compensating for her loss against Megumu. Nishida will probably win. Taichi will most likely lose. They always stress how Mizusawa is such an unknown school and how Fujisaki is oh so amazing. Plus there's that mysterious red-haired girl from Fujisaki who may be... a trump card?

Fujisaki has got 5 A class players, I doubt desktomu and tsukuba will pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'm guessing chihaya/nishida are going to win their matches and taichi will break under the pressure.. god I can't wait another week :<

OMG! This anime makes my heart skip beats so many times I can do without counting!

I am so glad that our team won! Chihaya will definitely show up in the final and time for Nishida to make a point that he is indeed a Class A player!

I doubt Tsukue and Tsukuba will be able to register a win against Fujisaki! Gotta give it to Tsukue for his talent to use data as a weapon! Kana-chan winning was wonderful! I like her so much! And Sumire-chan has grown so much affection for her team already!

I think everything will hinge on how Taichi fairs in that game! Go Taichi!

As for Shinobu, the more I see her, the more I like her even though she creeps the hell out of me! And more Arata of course! The reason I am loving the second season more!

Taichi X Chihaya moment was priceless! Damn! I cannot pick between Arata and Taichi! T_T

I predict that Nishida, Tsukuba, and Chihaya will win the finals. Chihaya will probably be against the red-haired girl, but whatever.

Tsukuba doesn't have a freaking chance in hell to win in the finals. Fujisawa has 5 Class A 3rd years. That means that Oe being replaced shouldn't change a damn thing anyway since neither she, nor Tsukuba nor Tsutomu are gonna defeat a Class A player.

It's up to Chihaya to crush their ace, deflate their morale, it's up Nishida to finally win a big match and it's up to Misuzawa to find their weakest regular for Taichi to face. In reality, the match relies entirely on Nishida (30%) and Taichi (70)% because
1 - I can't see anyone else having the talent to defeat Chihaya.
2 - Nishida, as one of the two Class A members, has to win. Their Class C members aren't going to be able to pick up the slack this time.
and 3 - Taichi has to prove to himself he's risen above the B class.

Oh, Chihaya lost… OMG, I didn't expect this, like at all… *smh*. This match was so predictable.
Chihaya always losing to strong opponents, never contesting cards and repeating every damn sentences she says (in her head) two times, those things are getting old. At least Mizusawa wins…

Absolutely fantastic episode! Desktomotu winning the match was unexpected, and I really like how Tachi is consistently winning his matches I feel like he should be rank A by now but for some reason he can never win in those ranking matches. I don't mind Chihaya losing her match. In fact I think with Taichi's help she realized that she panics too much and learning to relax would greatly benefit her. Anyway, I really can't wait for next week hopefully they'll win the tournament but with this show you never really know.

The music that played when Desktomu won, and Megumu cried made those moments so darn emotional! I shed some tears ;_; Even though I already knew the outcome of the match, I was still at the edge of my seat the whole time!

Anyway, guys, be prepared again for a long match!
Since the anime seems like it wants to go at the same (slow) pace as the manga, the Fujisaki match should be around 3 episodes long as well.

That episode was just amazing.

This match was so intense, and I thought the way the entire team match was portrayed was perfect. The tension with each dead card in Tsutomu's match was brilliantly executed. The overall outcome of the match was quite fitting in my opinion (though still really surprising, mostly with how Tsutomu's side of things turned out). I really would like to see Chihaya grow some more before climbing up the ladder that quickly and beating the west representative, but just watching her match was wonderful. The Taichi/Chihaya moment and Shinobu's bits of development were just icing on the cake.

I'm honestly a little worried, though, about the scene with Tsukuba at the very end. I'm not very fond of his constant insistence to let him play matches. Even if Kana is actually tired, him trying to infiltrate into the vastly important final match is bothersome to me. I really hope he gets better; he's the only character left out of the Mizusawa karuta club that I haven't developed some sort of attachment to. I feel like it's going to just add an element of frustration to my viewing pleasure in the next episode.

It would be nice to see Megumu and Chihaya play against each other again. And it seem like the 1st years will step up their game!!

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.

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!!!

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.
