She does quite a bit of singing in Tari Tari as well. Damn good voice.


And cute, great to see her singing live at the Tari Tari event footage on discs 5 & 6 of the import BDs.

Taichii tears are delicious.

How is arata a main character again ? he has less screen time than a lot of supporting characters this is really annoying ~_~.

I really want Taichi to just confess his feelings for Chihaya so that we can see how she'll take it. Although I am a Chihaya x Arata shipper, I kinda feel bad for the guy too. And dang.. same thing Chihaya, same thing. I want to see more of Arata too! :(

looks like the group was trying to attract good karma by letting the band club use their 2nd floor, poor Taichi looks like Chihaya is still in love with Arata.

Awww, that was so sweet from the band. I had a little tear in my eyes, too.
LOL @ Kana and the title.
It was nice seeing Chihaya's sister being encouraged by her little sister. :)



Aaaaaaaand another "poor Taichi" moment. Seriously, the poor guy is getting kicked in every single episode.

WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GOOD EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO KURATA D;
It's good that Chitose learned from Chihaya to keep on trying her best ... loads of family time here. Chihaya's mom taking her to buy her own kimono ... wow :') It was just so sweet of her ... to suddenly see how much she's grown ... *sigh* :3
THE BAND OMG THAT WAS SO GREAT T_T I mean obviously as someone that's played in a band (they were pretty good for high schoolers! :P) I can relate but that was so sweet of them! Omg wow :3
Poor Taichi ... TAICHI I LOVE YOU DON'T WORRY T_T I'm kind of hoping that Sumire acting on her feelings will nudge Chihaya to DO SOMETHING ... UGH D;
Other interesting bits were Kanade's explanation on "swiftness" vs. "frenzied" ... can't say I've given it much thought but I do like her top example ;P Not to mention how it applies to Chihaya ...
Can't believe it's Nationals already! Heck yeah, this is gonna be great! :D

Why can't Chihaya notice Taichi's feelings already? Even though I don't dislike Arata I've been rooting for Taichi since the beginning and seeing him getting hurt over and over again is just not what he deserves :( I think Chihaya and Taichi are the perfect match, Arata might be good too but Taichi knows Chihaya so well and has always been by her side to support her... just makes me feel like he would be a better option for her :)

im glad Chihaya is considerate and all for letting the concert club members use the second floor, but wow she is really greedy about Karuta XD



lol Sumire vs The Bear Harada san!!!

im glad her mother is also considerate of her, but she didn't count the money towards traveling and expenses if she became Za Queen XD



glad Chihaya and Ayase are now back to their normal selves ^^



the national athem was soo funny XD

though it touched Chihaya's heart .___.



Chihaya you barely pass!!



onto becoming Japan's No.1 Karuta team!!

Good episode, but I don't understand and haven't understood whats with the flashbacks to the 3 of them together? (Taichi, Arata, and Chihaya) When it's crystal clear Taichi is practically nonexistent outside karuta to her....I mean...it would be one thing if Arata was really a main character and present most of the time, but he's so much of a side character since episode 3 of S1 that it's starting to become a nonimportant part of the show. Considering since mid way thru s1 that it appears Chihaya's reason for karuta has become more about Arata than it has about actually being the best....

I really love this episode, the family connections between Chihaya, her mother and her sister were hearttouching.

I almost fancy the kimono part in it, and I favoured the ending when the other club was playing for them, too.

Great episode, the producers did a good job on it! (✿◠‿◠)))...

5/5

Episode that serves to break up the rhythm and do relax, showing at the same time the family of Chihaya and beyond.
The nice thing about this anime is that it is flattened on one topic.
Good designs and animations discrete, I am rooting for Arata! : D
I'm so eager to see it in action Chihaya and his team at the national championships of Karuta.

It was so nice of the band to play the school anthem! So uplifting. "Chihayafuru" is such a powerful word. I would have never known if it wasn't for Kana. Taichi.. I know how he must've felt.

"somebody you want to talk to" it's obvious she would choose Arata since he's not around. If he was she wouldn't, as his goals are so much different. I wonder if he would be able to support her as Taichi does.

I'm worried about the perspective for the friendship between Chihaya, Arata and Taichi to be affected by some love relations.

I really hope Taichi will fall in love with another girl.

How can you put a book in the bin???
And I don't like the Chihayafuru meaning part, this anime isn't a parody, so why this kind of scenes?
The ending!!! Wow! Taichi may have all the episode to show his face but Arata just needs few seconds to make this anime memorable. I know most of the MAL people hate Arata but he is the main pillar of Chihayafuru.

That band just came out of nowhere, it's nice though.. I thought I'm watching Hibike Eupho for a while
Wait... Did Kana.. just broke the 4th wall? So casually

NOOOOOO! Poor Taichi :(

At this point, this is just torture. And I still have no idea how exactly Arata feels about Chihaya. Aside from acting relieved when he found out Chihaya and Taichi weren't dating, he hasn't really given any indication if he has romantic feelings for her or not. I'm still standing by my "Chihaya only views Arata as an idol figure" theory for the sake of my Chihaya x Taichi ship, but I honestly don't know about anything anymore after this episode.

Also, this show never fails to make me tear up. Chihaya's mom buying her a hakama, the band playing the school anthem. It's all great stuff. I'm very interested to see Shinobu and Arata interact, so hopefully that's coming up soon. All in all, another great episode.

How cute when the band comes to play as a thank you. Poor Taichi when he catches Chihaya on the phone with Arata. This is one of the few shows where I like the rival ships nearly equally and have a hard time deciding who I would like to win out in the end.
