If we don't see the conclusion of the individual tournament (which looks very unlikely) in this season then you can pretty much guarantee a 3rd season in time. I wouldn't expect it any time soon though, with the amount of projects MadHouse work on they will probably leave it a while and nothing has been announced yet to my knowledge.

After the first season, I was so sure there wasn't going to be a second, especially with the abysmal sales. And then it happened.

I have a strong feeling there will be a season three, though it might be a while until we get the next season. It seems that the creators have the intention of following this story through, especially with how faithful it has been to the original source.

And I don't recall this being mentioned in the anime (but I might just not remember well), but right from chapter one of the manga...

I haven't actually read much of the manga though, but just off of what I know and have heard, I think there's a strong possibility for a third season.

Even a third season might not be enough, sadly. The manga is at like...22 volumes now and is still going? The show would probably need at least 4 seasons, or at least faster pacing, to cover everything.

But at least we are getting an OVA.

Needs a 3rd season. Also needs more romance to balance out the pure focus on Karuta

It can be like Nodame Cantabile. Its 3rd season was only like 11 episodes long.

If buying the manga is the key for season 3 then I'll go ahead and get them.

Seems like the story is worth its price.

Hopefully. I heard that's when Arata appears more frequently. I checked out the stats of the score, but damn, I wonder who the heck voted Chihayafuru 2 below 6, I mean, if you liked the first season, it's pretty much set on that you'll like the second season, damn those haters

I don't believe so since Chihayafuru 2 was only made to promote the manga, we're even lucky to have a season 2.

Season one used 40 odd chapters, season two used another 40. There will be around 20 chapters that haven't been animated, so any possible season three will be a bit of a wait.

What do you guys can do when someone is not after money? I read in a legit news before that the director and the producer were making a second season for reasons other than production value.

ARIA for an instance, never had immense popularity like many other shows out there. Yet it got three seasons. Tamayura is a very good example as well. Not everyone is after money. Some people love working on things that need love and not just that will get them money. :)

I think the problem here is not the money but the manga material.

Chihayafuru is bi-weekly as far as I know. S1 covered 49 chapters, S2 will likely cover up to chapter 92 (so 43 chapters).

Currently, there is only 20 chapters that will be unaired. The sweet spot should be around Spring or Summer 2014 I think.

This too. The manga is on volume 22 or so, and this season of the anime will get into volume 17. There isn't enough material in the manga right now for another 25 episode season.

Honestly, I am confused... Which one is correct? The anime is far behind manga or a little behind manga? Or was the first comment meant as sarcasm...?

I feel like an idiot.

Wait, the manga's still ongoing right now right? They're probably just waiting till more chapters come out and find a place where it can end nicely for the season. I heard that they're agreeing in terms of making a 3rd season, but it won't be coming out anytime soon before 2016. The producers had a fun time with it and were really surprised with the results of the anime and how so many people liked it, so I guess we can still have our hopes up for having a 3rd season.

The series is brilliant, but I'm surprised by the number of people that haven't watched it. I guess most of them are put off by the idea of it revolving around a card game.

My guess is that it would take around two more matches with the Queen for Chihaya to finally beat her. There's also that mysterious woman in the flashforward January scene, Arata and the Master. Assuming they don't compress the content of the manga, it still has many more seasons to go!

I really, really do hope they start working on the next season!

Their 3rd year has started in the manga(Raws). Looking at the pace it's going, show will probably need a season 4 & 5 too. Looks like we gotta wait till 2018-19 to see the final Chihaya/Shinobu showdown. :D :D

There is other Animes that revolve around a card game for example and most prominently Yu-Gi-Oh and then there is still the Cardfight Serise so Im not sure that is the who reason behind no season 3 yet I think it has to do with the Manga and funding

Totally agreed. I'm currently on Season 1, but I like to search for the remaining manga chapter numbers after the anime seasons end, so I hope Madhouse will make a S3!

I'm assuming that there will be 4 seasons before the series comes to a close.
The reason I say this, is each episode is named after a poem, there are 25 episodes for each season, and 100 poems.
