i love the episode!!!!

definitely the best so far, the music intensifying the moment when chihaya is down then makes a comeback is amazing!!!

love the scene with Daddy Bear and Snowmaru :D



Wakamiya Shunobu is such a beauty!!



but Chihaya won't give up!!!



guess she saw the Queen was like Arata.

i love how salty the Queen is XD





i wonder if Queen vs Arata will happen :D

can't wait either way, fight on Chihaya!!!!!

The Queen is supposed to be THE best female player in Japan/World right? Surely she is a bit over qualified to be playing in these high-school tournaments? Its almost too unfair on everyone else participating.. is it just because she's the right age?

The "Master" was Arata's grandad, but the Queen is some 16 year old kid? Is that the best the females of Japan can do? Sure she is good, but come on.... its like they just needed some way for Chihaya to meet the Queen as soon as possible and set up that rivalry.. and conviniently she is the same age but is yet another super genius player, basically a female clone of Arata. Imagine that... the two best players in the world are both kids, the exact same age as our heroine. How convinient.

</rant>

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.

That doesn't mean I'm not enjoying it, it is still a very cool anime. Just had to get that out of the system...

Such a cute moment when both the queen and chihaya admired each other's shirts! :P

Looks like chihaya is in the game now, but I think the Queen has just got into her serious mode as well!

I hope that the Queen wins but I also hope Chihaya ends up giving her a run for her money. Can't wait to see what happens.

Me, too! I hope she loses by one card. :) It seems too early for her to beat the queen. Though it would be funny if she beat the queen but lost to her next opponent... though I don't see that happening, unless she passes out again.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

I feel like a lot of things in this show amount to nothing more than convenient drama...like how the Queen of Karuta is the same age as the main character, but the Master was some old guy, and that so far in every situation where Chihaya was facing an opponent stronger than her, she would lose by a lot, and then miraculously start gaining ground against their tough competitor...just amounts to easy, convenient drama...which I guess seems to appeal to the masses these days, but I've not really seen the amazing part to this show that so many keep flaunting over. To me, it's just not there.

Chihaya is fighting against the Queen. Chihaya is losing the match at first because the Queen is blinding fast. But then dude turns out lights, (lol), and Chihaya regains her focus. She decides to "stand up and look arrogant", because that what Sudo does when gets out of it, and Sudo was behind her, doing the same thing. Lol. At the end, the Queen has a evil, blackish with a tint of blue aura surrounding her, and the match will probably be continued in the next episode. I love how these karuta matches keep you at the edge of my seat, it's awesome!

5/5

Little fanfare in the plot and in the narrative, there is not the same as the previous setting, too linear. However, the technicality, it is not exaggerated and makes the story interesting.
Hilarious gags! XD

Chihaya starts out slow and Shinobu takes total control of the match. However, Chihaya takes a short break to catch her breath and she then begins to make a comeback. Once again Chihaya shows why she is stronger towards the end of the matches.

Poor kid, he lost brutally to Shinobu by 20+ cards.

Isn't Chihaya over confident? She just won two cards and that would excite the queen even more.
It is not like I am not admiring her effort, but they make it like Chihaya is already the stronger side!

Awww, Taichi.. Don't worry even if you're not Class A right now, I'm sure Arata's message is for you too

Accents in this anime are just lovely!

You've done it, you just made Queen angry xD

The Queen is pretty strong, she wrecked Chihaya during the whole episode, but towards the end Chihaya found her rhythm and now her counter attack has begun, I don't think she's able to win, tho.

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

Damn, it's impressive how adaptive Chihaya is! From playing with the Queen she's evolving mid-game... The Queen seems to be more of a strategic player, by that I mean she knows every small detail, targeting a corner of the card, she's insanely good, I don't think that Chihaya can pull off a victory this match.

The queen, Wakamiya Shinobu, is a dangerous player. She dominated the game. Though Chihaya did make a small come back towards the end.

So Taichi for sure won't fight with Arata in karuta, but Chihaya might have Queen as her opponent and that's what happened exactly.

Pretty girl from the previous episode was Shinobu, the current Queen. Cool. She is not only beautiful and stylish, but also very, very talented in karuta.

I like realistic animes in which main character is not winning every time. As much as I root for Chihaya, I would prefer Shinobu to win. Like, she is a Queen after all.

So that mysterious girl from the previous episode is the queen, whatever next?

Holy shit, she struck before the first syllable was even read. That's incredible, her inhuman speed too. At least Chihaya is starting to get a few cards now, though I highly doubt she'll win.

I really was enjoying this episode until chihaya was able to snatch multiple cards from the Queen by just noticing that she playes with her left hand and for whatever reason chihaya's nonsensical OP of hearing the word before it's even uttered kicked in because she saw taichi and her teacher ? I was expecting chihaya to mabye get one card or none at all from the queen and the match ending like that,but with the way this is going on i'm afraid they might go as far as making this a very close win for the queen or a victory for Chihaya which does leave a sour taste in my mouth. At least the first outcome was a bit realistically,but maybe i'm expecting too much from this show.

That was really intense to watch. I bet she'll get only one or two more cards and then the Queen will win. But even then, that's quite a feat.
