| I thought Arata will show up on the match. |
| Porky did a barrel roll! |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| How can this be so good!? Amazing really. Loved the was Chi just steamrollered the other guy at the end. |
| 5/5 Plot very effective, as there is plenty of room for all and introspection, great! As always engaging narrative, the distribution of times is good about the characters, does not focus too much on any character. Chiaya is MC of the episode, but the others are no less seems to see a head to head between Chihaya and Taichi! Even opponents are very charismatic. Naphthalene-kun is hilarious! LOL Great colors and designs BGM! * _ * |
 |
| CHIHAYA!!!!!! That was a nice move by Sudo-ku. Placing the Chihaya card at the center to distract her, but Chihaya at the end prevailed. It was a tough series as Chihaya's team won 3-2 in the end. "No looking at porn" XD, the manager telling Wataya that. The neko goes to the store just to sleep lol |
 |
| SPECIAL MOVE! BARREL ROLL! |
 |
| Interesting how after 11 episodes of playing Karuta all the time it's still an awesome watch. Great episode. |
| They were all great in this episode :) And they kicked ass :) |
| I want more Arata screen time! XD |
| yata!!! They won!! Great Great. Arata seemed really surprised to see many emails from Chihaya. I actually think he looks great when he tilted his head to see the photo lol |

Nice win, rek that S. xD |
 |
| Such an engaging episode. 5/5 |
| Great episode, i loved how they worked together, and last moment when Ayase won the card was amazing. |
| chihaya kicked that sadist... hard .. the show just gets better and better |
 |
| An impressive showdown. Sudou doesn't disappoint, Nishima's barrel roll is excellent as well. Mashima's play style is intense too, that alone makes it intriguing. Avoiding mistakes takes quite a bit of effort. |
| They won, hell yeah! It was intense! |
 |
| I hate players like Sudo... apart from the Chihara card tactic which I thought was quite cool. You can tell there is not much sportsmanship for these guys. There is a fine line between using your wits, and mental tactics to wear down an opponent to just plain playing dirty because you lack the confidence to win fair and square. How many timeouts do you need Sudo-kun? Holding up everyone because you need a breather. If everyone acted like you the sport will practically go on a standstill. Like those idiots that conveniently lose their legs and shamelessly flop around the opposition goalposts like a fish on the football grounds and boxers that get away with cheap shots. No respect for these guys. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Chihayas last turn, tho. Fantastic episode again, everyone did their best to win. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Intense episode! |
 |
| We all know that Nishida deserves that Class A with that barrel roll. That match made me nervous but their picture in the end made me so happy. Taichi's laugh at the end was so pure and Arata's head tilt was so cute as well. Arata looks like a proud father. |
| Sorry for my English. |
| arata better show up to the finals |
| I wanna see those eyes more often those eyes that only looked at that certain card. |
| They won. That was a great episode. |
 |
| Haha, I didn't expect that karuta can be that intensive and emotional. :D This anime is great. |
โจSaint Seiya Club๐ |
| Glad they won! The other team played dirty somewhat! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| How the hell is Retro able to tell the exact positions of each player? That's pretty stupid. But wow, that was a really intense match. |
ohohohohohooooo another amazing episode... it was wholesome  |
| LET'S GO !!! THEY PASSED. Very good!!! |
| Damn that was nice. Almost teared up there at the end. And I'll say it again, Taichi is so damn awesome. Chihaya's skill is undebatable, but Taichi's firmness and stability... damn. And he's not the petty jerk he was back in grade school. He's really the most mature of them all. |
 |
| Chihaya's infatuation with Arata and treating him literally like a (Karuta) god is getting so annoying that I'm now rooting for Taichi, even though I couldn't stand him at first. At the end of the day, he's the one who seems like the underdog, despite being kind of an "ikemen" perfect Gary Stu type. No matter how perfect he is, he's still up against a "god" (as far as Chihaya is concerned). But I really hope the show doesn't stray too far from Karuta (like now) and goes into full on love triangle drama. |
| S of Sudo stands for sucker because he took a big L there by acting overconfident. Quite the intense match and I'm glad Chihaya and the rest managed to win. |
 |
| A specky weirdo tarot dork schoolkids is funny, a specky weirdo tarot dork ojii-san is uncomfortable as hell. Honestly, I liked him having a valid excuse for not seeing the messages. It makes Arata come across as far less mean, and I need whatever they give me to not dislike the guy for trashing my ship. Fox eyes and Chi are both total shits so seeing them rile one another up was really satisfying~ |

| They made it ok but I wish the show would give more development to the opponents to make it feel less one sided for the audience |
| Wait, Arata still exists??! |
 |
| Chihaya adjusted her hearing to the reader's vocal quirks? The absolute depth of the strategies of the game in this show, man. I love it. Of course "Chihayafuru" had to be the game-winning card. Wouldn't have had it any other way. |
| I like how Chihaya never gave up on Arata even after she literally had no contact with him over the years , and even after she heard the truth about him. Hopefully Arata starts his comeback at some point. Lmao, he'll probably have to practice hard to actually get to Chihaya's level. |
 |
| That was a fun conclusion. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Who is looking down on who again? |
