Tsukuba gets a win in the sudden death playoffs where one loss in tag team matches and it's over.

Now it's getting good.

5/5

Wars are won with espionage! Eh, Eh, Eh!
Episode brilliant despite losing in competitive intensity, but the emotional benefits anyway.
Narration almost Komano centric, pleasant with a good mix of situations; funny comedy well seen only in flashes.
Almost imagine that the challenge between Mizusawa and the team went to Kyoto for long, but it was not so; I wanted to see the protagonists suffer sin and then come out winners.
Let's see if we can refer to the next challenge.
Drawings and discrete animations.

Kamono: the professor of karuta.
I have to mention that Arata-Shinbou moments are very sweet.

Starter's roles evaluated . Orders , Playoffs .
Textbook composition ~ . There's the pun ~ !! "Try to stay calm."
It's more tiring to closely look a match than playing it . Komano did it well ~ !!
Vice-Adviser ~ . Way to go scouts ~ . *pouts* The drive to be number one .
Ganbatte kudasai ~ !! Best scenarios plus the info gathered ~ .
SEMI-FINALS : MIZUSAWA VS. FIRST AKASHI-GIRLS ~ !!
VERY GREAT EPISODE . Urayasu room . Faith is good enough .

The drama between Porky and Desktomu this episode seemed quite forced.

For plot convenience we can't let Arata to meet their friends, that's the punishment

For plot convenience we put their ace against our ace, no need to change the order now xD

That hug made the episode so sweet!
Nishida annoyed me a bit in the start, but I understood him.

That was rather a build up episode, still nice. So let's see what Megumu got.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Aw, when Porky and Desktomu were fighting...:( Nice to see the focus on Desktomu's skills as an info gatherer for his team, not just as a player - it truly takes all kinds to build a great team.

Shinobu was cute with her phone. ;D

Yay, Arata will be a me to compete in individuals, even if he is banned from watching his friends's team. So he was punished, but not punished severely. Cool, can't wait to see his gameplay.

Komano also returned to his team. His role is crucial for Mizusawa's victory. Saying that he doesn't care about playing or karuta was really dumb in my opinion. Fortunatelly, Nishida finally acknowledged that his words were wrong.

Good one Chiyaya for noticing desk kun would be tired

Proky saying that stuff about desk kun was a bit unfair but he didn't know Chiyaya rested him

Desktomu's notes are really saving their asses. I was unsure about this "supporting" role thing but I guess it's necessary after all.

Lol! Oe's cute pouting face.

I have a very, very strong feeling that Hokuo is gonna get pulverized by Fujisaki.

It looks like Mizusawa is about to have their first tough match. Time to see where this goes.

Seems like this match was just a plot device in order to shine a light on Tsutomu,which I don't mind at all. I hated how he was being relegated to the shadow because of the newbies and Chihaya. I fully understood why Porky was so mad,but it was good that chihaya noticed that Tsutomu was working just as hard as them and needed little break.

I hate how this makes me flip my views on chihaya. At times it looks like she's finally learning from her faults,but then you have key moments of the show destroying any character development she had and turning her in to a self insert who can do no wrong. It's hard to enjoy a show which doesn't hold itself to proper storytelling.

Chihaya in agony over not playing the ace but knowing that that was the best way to win was lol

Shinobu-chan on the phone was really cute. Also, Arata lending his clothes to her? I definitely ship these two!

I want Chihaya to beat the hell out of that Ousaka.

Good to see Porky caring a lot about Desktomu not losing his motivation like he did in the past, but it seems Desktomu is quite motivated seeing how he acquired a lot of matchwinning information.

The flashbacks of those five got me more emotional than I like to admit so I get where Nishida was coming from, but at the same time Komano's data collecting is kinda busted as a team weapon.

Also, that pout from Kanade was top tier

Arata is like a beacon, everybody that he meets and plays with is forever enchanted, falls in love with Karuta and wants to play and win against him. Arata appears to be older than the others he is so much more mature, even when he acts silly he immediately realises and self polices.
Love how they manage to keep this game interesting, by showing different strategies, while it is true that the one on one games are probably more skillful the group games have their won dynamic that is really cool to watch.

Mizusawa made it to the playoffs but there is a friction between Nishida and Kamano. Will they be able to resolve things before the tournament?
