| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A bit of a slow episode imo. Team? Yup team: I lol'd @ Shinobu this episode with her little cell phone. So cute. >VICTORY BANNER LOL. This episode was kinda funny also imo. |
 |
| Sudo with that Victory Banner was sooooo lololol XD Shinobu-chan kawaiii! Too bad Arata won't be watching their matches but at least now he can play :) Can't wait for Chihaya vs Ousaka. Should be awesome! |

| (following on from the end of the episode before the ED) Or perhaps they were doing exactly the same thing as you guys? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| BEAT HER ASS CHIHAYAAAAAA!!!!! YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!!! ;___ ; SHOW HER YOU'RE POTENTIAL QUEEN LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; A ; //PRAYS TO GOD THEY WIN T^T |
| Slow? the episode was not slow. Big screentime and development for Nishida and Komano, and you gotta love how Taichi let her play Ousaka. Great episode, next week should be intense. |
 |
| I did a happy little wiggle when Nishida thought about Tsutomu during the match after his realization about his opponent. I had the same reaction when Nishida asked if he was playing named time, ahhh. X3; Ended up laughing when Chihaya was in agony and even teary about not playing the aces though. xD;;;; |
 |
| omg Sudo's victory banner!! I know he can be a bit sadistic but i do like him lol I love the "empress' coat of love" (?) like seeing how she is taking an interest in the club now |
 |
| This is so heartwarming. |
 |
| Yay, I was so worried that it would only focus on Nikuman's match! I'm glad he's back to track really fast! And the little tsutomu flashback is great! :) HAHAHA Sudo ftw!! <3 |
| Now, if Chihaya can only get her act into gear right off the bat instead of having to do yet another come-from-behind... |
| lol @ Shouyou -> Show you! But they are strong. Chihaya is being considerate with megane guy, and Nikuman-kun couldn't understand him until during the tournament. lol @ the kimino girl. Fortunately, they won. Fortunately, Arata is safe unless they write the "apology" form (?). lol @ the Chihaya and Taichi's eternal rival team, so many pressure from Nikuman-kun's sister. Both Taichi and megane guy know that the team order for opponent might change. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I don't lik Ousaka, she just sat there so perfectly >.< I really hope Chihaya'll win and that Hanano'll be a good data collector just like Komano, Now I actually think he is amazing |
bastek66 said:  haha that was funny. and cute. Also we didn't get too see much karuta plays. it was more of the glasses guy in the first half. But i am really excited for next ep. That match will be very much entertaining. And the fact that they think that Ayase's team is no match for them, I would like to think that they are wrong. I just said, Show 'em! Show them how GREAT you are ayase, and beat them! :D gaa I love this series so much! Ayase FTW! |
 |
| Porky started some drama that felt awkward and a little unnecessary but I guess it was done to highlight how hard Desktomu-kun is working for the team's sake. Arata still can't meet up with his friends from Tokyo, it's like the author is doing this on purpose for some kind of suspense effect. Overall, decent episode. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| A rather heartwarming episode. Not much of a match though. Anyway, looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| looking forward to the next episode, where all dreams will be set. Chihaya against the strongest girl in Western Japan, hope she will show us what she did with Amakasu-kun, using both master and queen playing style to defeat Akashi's girl. I hope she won't lose another match against a strong player. |
| Dame nan da Hokuo Gakuen! You guys will just have to sit on the sideline and watch the best team from Tokyo in the final! Mochiron, Akashi Dai Ichi Joshi! You girls will have to join Hokuo on the sidelines. Way to underestimate Chihaya's team! And just like that, we already know that our adorable team will be playing Fujisaki Koukou in the finals. :D MIZUSAWA KARUTABU KANARAZU KATSU! |

| Chihayafuru's back in its stride with this week The previous two episodes weren't bad but they lacked "Chihayafuru punch" that made me fall in love with the show. At the beginning I thought Porky's drama felt a little contrived and forced but as the episode went by I saw that he just didn't understand how Desktomu has always been helping the team his own way if not more so than the people playing the match with his data. As a student in university/college, I can 100% agree with what they were saying about data gathering, research when you're actually trying SUCKS : P The character drama was very well done this week For me the reason why the show lacked the oomph it had was that there was very little risk of Mizusawa losing in the beginning of the tournament. We barely knew anything about the opponents beforehand unlike the teams they are facing now. The semi-finals opponents have had seeds of their rivalries planted in earlier episodes/season. The all girl highschool team is looking to be a particularly tough team in the same tier as Hokuo. I liked how we were left wondering if the opposing team didn't think much of Mizusawa or if they thought so highly of their ace. I think the latter Looking ahead my personal hopes are for the show not to forget the Hanano and Tsukuba. They had nice focus(if a little too much) in the first 5/6 episodes but have kinda fell by the wayside recently. |
| some unknown force is preventing those 3 to meet each other... KEISAN DOORI! |

| Loved that pout by kana;D |
 |
| This chapters would last one hour!! |
| why are all the male characters in this show the biggest poon |
| Aaaargh, let me fast forward to next week already :< And hopefully Arata will be there to watch then.. |
| METAGAMING time! |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| These episodes need to be longer T_T Not as much kurata as expected this time, but lots of focus on the work that Komano does and how it helps the team. We haven't focused on him for a while so I thought this was really nice. I can't imagine the effort that he brings to getting information on the opposing teams ... thank you! :') Plus he's playing in the semis ... YOU GO BEAT THEM! Such a nice touching moment with them winning and the group hug :3 Thought it was a little abrupt how they just burst out saying they won though ... I mean they obviously turned the tables but yeah, thought something was missing there :P Loved the pun ... Shoyo ... show you! LOL XD So all Arata has to do is write an essay of apology? That doesn't seem too bad ... he gets to play too! :P Next match should be tough ... battle of the aces! I can't wait to see how this one's gonna turn out ... Mizusawa has to win! Right ...?! Loved how "it was so according to plan it was sad" ... haha XD It was nice of Chihaya to offer to be in the second position though ... ah, how she's changed :') |

| Great episode. A bit slow at first with the Desk/Porky drama but turned out nice later. Looking forward to next week! ahmed_great2005 said: Loved that pout by kana;D +1 |
bastek66 said: ^ lol best part |
 |
| Happy it was a Deskmotou kun episode, imma big fan of him. |
 |
| Love the show so far, looking forward to the next episode. Not been disappointed with any episodes up to now really. Will be interesting to see how the next match develops! |
| First weak episode of the year. They resorted to a cheap gimmick to produce some false drama. Well, two gimmicks actually. First hiding the extent of the conversation about who would play; second, the imagined significance of Nanase's position. Oh well, still not a horrible episode and I'm confident that they'll crank it up again next week. |
| amazing episode :D i can understand porky wanted Desk to play due to wanting his team to play till the end. but you have to consider that gathering data is not an easy task!! come on now Porky!! lol porky ate too many curries!! "Show you" :P good thing Chihaya put Desk out for the mean time. since she notices how hard she got all of these data, and feels desk is too tired to play! love Kana chan's pout :) porky should thankful to Desk that he remembers what he said about the enemy and how he guesses only. he really loves to play as a team huh!! lol Za Queen using Arata's clothes after being drenched from the rain, and his phone XD how the hell did Chihaya forgotten Megemu during the match between Yumin last year!!! Sudo san is watching you tokyo team!!! Mizusawa Fighto!!!! don't screw this up!!! let's see how Megemu plays against the future Queen Chihaya!!!! argh i want the next episode now!! |
| This show is a "slow burn" show, and they do it spectacularly. Looking forward to the match next episode.. |
  |
| Now is time for Chihaya to show she really leved-up. Timer to use those stuff about playing like the master and Shinopu to full effect and show that she mastered them. can't believe how anxious i am for a game of karuta to start. Crazy stuff and shows how good work this anime does.. xxanimeee said: I don't lik Ousaka, she just sat there so perfectly >.< Wait? That's your reason? She sat perfectly? |
| Good episode |
 |
| Guess what? I'll say that Mizusawa will start out losing, and then with some kind of BS power up they will start to win back, not even with their strongest lineup position. BS is BS |

| Ohh man, next episode gonna be good! ;-; |
 |
| Another victory but now they're against a strong team so this will get quite interesting, let see what's next! |

| episode seemed slow. but yay for another victory! It sucks how Arata can't cheer them on anymore if he wants to stay in the tournament. But the next episode should be good since it's chihaya versus a girl we already know is super good! |
