Nasty001 said: I'm beginning to think that Chihaya's match with the queen is gonna be on another season. Most definitely! I think the Arata VS Shinobu match would be the one to end the season... gonna be epic! and FCK FCK FCK! Why must I endure the pain of having to wait a week?! T_T |
...if you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't want to hear... |
| The pacing this season is like watching an iceberg melt... Nonetheless, I still really enjoyed the episode. The little bits with Shinobu are great as always, and seeing Chihaya and Taichi slowly develop and improve is always a wonderful thing to watch. I really hope Mizusawa wins the team tournament so that we can at least see a major moment of victory this season, since it looks pretty unlikely we'll see anything of that sort in the individual tournament now that Chihaya is injured. With the position that Taichi and Nishida are in, I'm thinking it's not a likely scenario at this point, but one can hope... |
| Intense and a beautiful episode 5/5 I really wish they would win! |
 |
| 3 games still underway. 3 wins needed for victory. It won't be easy. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This is too much suspense for me to handle....I don't if I can wait for the next episode because I feel like reading the light novel. I have a feeling they may lose and there will be a season three, but who knows, they may get serious and secure all three wins. If they do, I'll probably shed a tear or two of joy. >.< Why does this show play with my feelings...;-; |

| OH MY GOD!!! HOW TO GIVE THIS EPISODE MORE THAN 5/5?!??!?!?!? IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!! It was SO intense and managed to touch on so many things ... great, GREAT episode! The next one is to far away T_T A little focus on Rion and the guy that Tsukuba's facing and his obsession with "beauty". Interesting how they mentioned Suo ... I'm so interested in him! He wanted to record Rika's grandma reading?! Hmm ... I'd love to hear more about THAT story XD Poor Chihaya and her hurt finger ... she's really pushing on through it >_< Just a light tap on the shoulder for everyone to re-focus them ... YOU CAN DO IT! Especially with Rion worrying ... has she been relying on her grandma's reading for too long, perhaps? :O Also, I wonder what the ref is gonna do about that card between them? Do they normally get to judge these kinds of things? Hmm ... Then we get to Shinobu and Arata and their thoughts about team and individual play ... Shinobu's "sickened" by all of it, but it was pretty sad considering how she wasn't allowed to play people her age or she'd go easy on them ... dat smile though O_O Also interesting are Arata's thoughts about how team play is what keeps the sport alive ... huh :O Looks like we've got a focus on Taichi at long last! I liked getting his insight as to what made his opponent a good "captain" ... of course, as Mizusawa's captain, he's feeling the pressure of not being able to do that much - ESPECIALLY the part where he said it was something he's too scared to try. Thinking of the 5-card handicap thing hasn't been working out for him, but looks like he's got his mindset locked on! YOU CAN DO IT TAICHI!!! His poor luck though ... AH COME ON! Nishida, Chihaya, Taichi ... you've gotta pull through!!! D: |
| mizusawa isnt ready for primetime yet the queen looks hungry! |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| I can't handle watching this show week by week. It's like I get into the zone while watching it and then it abruptly stops. One of these days I'm going to die from the stress. |

| OMG so intense >.< JSADFHJASDFHISUDFHBASUIDFYB GIVE ME THE NEXT EPISODE NOA!!! Go Mizusawa, go! |
| Did no one else notice they gave Shinobu a black, evil-looking heart there at the end? ^_^ |
| Mizusawa already lost 2 T__T i want a comeback!!! come on now they already lost enough!!!!! let's do it Mizusawa!!!!!! Mashima on the offensive :D let's go Chihaya!! Za Queen is really getting into it! Chihaya is getting hurt!!!!! and yes she probably won't make it to the individuals T__T Za Queen and Chihaya's eyes met!!! Team matches are definitely intense as hell!! I love you Shinobu-chan!!! Sudo san getting fired up for Hokuo!! poor Shinobu-chan being left along at an early age to supposedly train hard to become Za Queen T__T Chihaya and Rion working hard!!!! Shinobu definitely watching the game closely!!! Rion is losing!!! she doesn't plan on giving up!! Arata!!!!!! even though both he and Shinobu are one of a kind, it's the team matches that keeps the game alive and well!! i wonder if Chihaya will take Za Queen title off of Shinobu?!?! or Mashima beating Suo and Arata!!!!!! poor Shinobu chan :( Shinobu can't take it anymore! wish she had more friends in her childhood T__T is Arata only her friend?? Mashima-kun has always been bad luck!!! it's not over yet Sakurazawa!!! Mizusawa is ready to come back!!!!!! let's go Mi-Zu-Sa-Wa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why the hell are these episode soo anti climatic!!! i have exams in the next 2 weeks T__T i'll probably be back by the May 24!!!!! damn you college!!!!!! |
| I'm glad this episode back to the usual Chihaya pacing The last few episodes pacing was kinda off imo The game is pretty exciting and poor Queen for not having people that can compete with her |
| The team tournament has been progressing at a very slow pace --- something I'm starting to find a tad boring. That said, this episode was pretty intense. The One Piece reference came out of nowhere, lol. |
 |
| Shinobu's flashback.... such feels. |
  |
| Love the fact Shinobu got more screentime this episode, she's one of my favorites, definitely wonder if Mizusawa is going to turn the tables with a legendary comeback or not. Taichi is pretty confident when he says they're going to get three wins, Taichi enters serious mode! |
 |
| Super intense episode, best one in awhile. Will they win? I don't think so. |

| good episode like usual :3 please let them win D: |
Kurini said: I'm not joking, but the best moment of the episode for me was seriously : GEAR SECONDO! XD LOL I KNOW RIGHT I totally LOL-ed. HAHAHAHA. Too bad he couldn't force that Fujisaki dude to use his gear thirdo or his haki XD By the way is anyone annoyed by how Mizusawa are powering up in the middle of the match, or near the end of the match..? Or.. how they're getting the cards they suddenly remembered in the middle of the match, and.. how was it read out just after they remembered that card? Asspull much. Edit: Second Yumekichi, or rather, Yumekichi of Chihayafuru 2. Too damn long with all the pictures and spaces.. |

| I almost died at the One Piece reference XD |
| TAICHI IS READY! I'M READY! MY BODY IS FKING READY! |
 |
| While the pace has slightly slowed the intensity sure has risen! The match is almost done, will they fail or will they be victorious? |
 |
| Tsukuba maybe its not your lucky day |
| gear second... leaning towards 9/10 - 10/10 depending on how the end plays out.. beautiful show is simply beautiful... |
 |
Kurini said: I'm not joking, but the best moment of the episode for me was seriously : GEAR SECONDO! XD "You're pretty good. You forced me to use my Gear Second!" I laughted about it, too! xD I'd never expected that in this situation! x)) |

| Fujisaki's players have amazing stamina and that is one reason why they are winning. It'll be tough but Taichi, Nishida and Chihaya will have to overcome the odds. The leads aren't that big so if they can get consecutive takes then they have a chance to win. However, it's the nearing end of the matches so one mistake can be a game changing one. |
 |
| 5/5 Very intense episode. Introspection on all fronts and continues even if very elongated matches, the narrative manages to be engaging. Plot analyzes in depth the characters and the karuta, OK! Shinobu and Chihaya more and more MCs of the last episodes, but the series seems to be set on a profile Shinobu centric. Good designs and fluid animations. However, even the rest of the cast is not ignored, fantastic. |
 |
| Is... Shinobu getting kinda excited? I am very positive that it was her heart beating. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| So...the teachers "destroyed" Shinobu and made of her what she is today...Sad....I'm glad she's at least getting a bit excited now towards the end of the game :) |
| ¯_(ツ)_/¯ My wrist hurts mina ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| Willpower of the ones who wants to win . Encouragements . Extend & Extract , Spot , Overcome , Become ; By the game senses . Fall in love in the hearings of the world ~ . "FOCUS." "ON WINNING." Feels of the game . Pulsating desires . Five cards Handicap . "GEAR SECOND." Gratifying domination . "THREE WINS." IKIMASHO !! VERY GREAT EPISODE . |

| well I have ti say that...it is more and more intense..... The top team is not top for nothing |
 |
| Living Ghost Harada-sensei, we don't need you! xD Gear Secondo! Am I watching One Piece right now? Three wins of course! Don't you wish for something else other than 3 wins |
"Signature removed"   |
| "You forced me use my second gear", haha lol, I loved that moment. |
 |
| One Piece reference ftw xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I always love Kana's interpretations for the poems. It was sad watching Shinobu's sudden flashback to her lonely childhood while watching the teams play. For all it seems as if her isolation now is self-imposed, as a child it appears it was forced on her by the adults who were pushing her to be the best in karuta instead of allowing her the freedom of making friends her own age - a very sad trade-off. |
