| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Practice with the new girl controlling the player, and Chihaya is doing well. Taichi has pressure. Recruiting the megane guy who is like Taichi with studying only, except Taichi has karuta as well, is hard because he thinks that karuta is waste of time. With covering the card, Taichi realizing his feeling strongly and won Chihaya. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The previous episode was much better. The new character is okay, I hope he doesn't get too much screentime. |
| Awesome episode. Glad to see Taichi find his resolve |
| Need more Arata. |
 |
| Only 15 seconds of Arata :3 ok still like 10 seconds too much but you can't have everything (but maybe he is dead and they simply don't know about it?! :D ) Taichi was a nice character in this one plus this new one - he and that girl will be rather bland types (but she has that cute obsession with old clothes so it's fine) plus humor :D abduction of the desk was good one |
| A good episode, getting a new member was good, and that part, where they flipped the cards and relied on their memorisation skills was great imo communiist said: Awesome episode. Glad to see Taichi find his resolve Thats right, Taichi was EPIC this episode!! XD He is my fav character of this series. |
 |
| LMAO. I love how Chihaya just like kidnapped the poor kid. They only need 1 more member! |

| Good episode! This is getting better and better! :DD |
shanimebib said: If it weren't for these silly mistakes, he would have topped the grade. Anyways, great episode. I just loved it how Chihaya almost carried [MI] all the way to the clubhouse and with the desk attached to him like glue, too. And also impressed with Taichi now. He threw some very good motivational words towards the spec-guy that got him into the club. Now we have four members and cannot wait to see the fifth member who is dekkai! |

| TAICHI!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ *A* Its nice for him to show his manly side! >o< But I still miss Arata... |
| I liked the new addition more than I thought I would but he isn't the most thrilling character. I hope he doesn't become extra in later episodes. I don't want a bunch of filler characters wasting time. I'm curious who the final addition will be. I liked the flipping over the cards thing. It never occurred to me that you could play like that. It showed Taichi's skills and what Chihaya needs to work on. I Need more Arata! Where the hell is he?!!! It's not fair! I have to wait another week! :( |
 |
| Good ep, Taichi is such a cutie~~~ Yes, i also miss Arata!lol, i wonder why Arata appears always surrounded by flowers, even in Taichi´s flashback, rotfl. |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| I noticed something interesting! the smart guy is left handed! He might be able to have some special skills for karuta!! :D I'm glad taichi found somethjng he's good at ;) can't wait for the introduction of the last member!! |
| GAWD, Taichi was fiiine this episode... but I miss Arata. 1 more member to go.... |
  |
| Taichi is pro =D |
 |
| When is Arata coming back? All the episodes without him feel empty. |
| Great ep, focused on Taichi and the new member but I liked it. |

| Hey, kid... you can't just leave the desk there in the middle of the walkway... so irresponsible. :P It was funny when at the end of the first match this ep, Chihaya slammed to the floor asleep like that. XD And I almost jumped when that desk came crashing down at the end there. O_o Either Taichi is pretty strong, or that desk's super light, LOL. Loved this ep :D |
| Good episode. I was afraid Taichi may become a plot device for Arata. I hate Arata, so don't ever mention that loser-kun in my presence |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Nothing wrong with Arata but we will not see him for a couple more episode, next episode they will invited some fat guy into Karuta Club. Later we don't know. Taichi obiously could beat Chihaya my memoried the card becuase he is more smarter than her. But she got an awesome hearing skills that's not normal person got. :D The Megane-Kun leave his desk I would like the music from there if it was a longer version of it. But he finally decide to join Karuta |

| Arata is teh boss. |
 |
| DANG Taichi was kick ass in this ep! xD But I agree that Arata needs to come back. I miss him too ;__; |
| Arata is "The Ace" of the series and usually they don't appear so often. |
| . |
| Goes without saying, another beautiful episode! I NEED the soundtrack, dammit! <3 |
 |
| That was some great memorization skills. |
| Rofl, I love how Chihaya took the kid and desk with him. Arata is so fucking sexy though, even without that voice. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Seriously, need more Arata |
|
| Taichi = fucking bamf. I know who I'm rooting for. |
| Good episode but the previous was better. The new member is intelligent so i think he can become a good player as the other girl. but seriously...WHERE THE HELL IS ARUTA ?????????? WHAT IS HE DOING ??????????? |

| Go Taichi! I didnt know you had great memory skills...and desk tossing skills (HHAHA) So the new guy is Tsutomu...heh, not the best looking guy, but I wonder what he's gonna bring to the club~ And Chihaya is really like Haruhi~ XD |
 Repeat forever. Promise forever That you'll keep me in your heart. |
| Desk abduction was funny. OK episode. Taichi's getting better. |
| Chihaya is persisted person and don't like to give up so she used force. I don't think we will see Arata on the same team as them but what I believe they will be rival against it together |

| Gah, Taichi is just doing anything he can to win Chihaya. I feel like he is too jealous, but who can blame him. Oh, and so far I don't mind that second place kid. He seems like he is going to be a friendly character. |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| Love Taichi, really thought he rocked this episode!!! RIP desk.... XD |
 |
| Not the best episode, but I guess it was ok. Could be better, anyway |
| I like this show a lot, but I'd like it so much more without Arata in it. I love these Taichi-focused episodes, then I remember how soon surely Chihaya will go back to thinking nothing but ARATA ARATA ARATA ARATA and it's a bummer. I feel so bad for the guy. :/ |
| 5/5 loved this episode. |
insipidclownfish said: I like the new guy and it is nice that he isn't tall dark and handsome. However I didn't enjoy the story as much for this episode. Playing with the cards flipped over proves that Taichi has his own strengths but it ultimately felt like a cheap plot device. Still enjoyed watching, though. Yeah he isn't some bishi like the other two guys but i wonder because i see this many times. is it hard for them to draw a more average guy. Well it happens with girl too if you think about it that's why most anime girls are beautiful but in this one they did a good job on making an average girl like the one that loves kimono. She isn't strange looking or ugly but she isn't amazing looking like Chihaya ether. Can't they do something like that with a guy too? This guy is a little on the pathetic side really and he does look like a bean. For example i can't imagine any of the girls watching the show actually feeling attraction for him while is not that hard to think a few guys liking the kimono girl. Anyway i think this game with the cards flipped over might have been a great thing for Chihaya. Her memorizing isn't her strong point and he just found a new way of training that will help her improve in that department and become better. It's good for Taichi too because it helps him to stop feeling completely useless since he thought not only that he couldn't win but that he couldn't even help Chihaya train.

Is so damn frustrating. The guy will jump in-frond of a bus for her but she's all Arata, Arata even though his more like a stranger now and acted badly. Taichi has his faults though. As a kid because he loved her he acted aggressively at times and it normal for kids because they don't know how to handle love but why did he got a girlfriend now too? He should split with her(besides his fooling the poor girl around since he doesn't have any real interest in her) and go full force at getting Chihaya. |
