| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- They are awarded for winning! The opponent was very sad to let the trophy go. The family is caring more at the sister more than Chihaya's karuta. The teacher is more prior to tennis team. A male teacher is subbing their club. Seems like she doesn't actually approve it (and just entertainment). Chihaya is afraid of being the representative of Tokyo. So that opponent team gave Taichi the info. for how to win the All Japan tournament (helping out)! So their parents know about Chihaya's tournament from the newspaper and keep it in the memory book! She's back to energetic self now. The girl is having a hard time with memorizing the cards and wants to do it in her own way instead of Nikuman's way. The teacher is shocked at the kiai of the club, and touched by the girl's wanting to win. She's going to bring trophy to safe place, then is willing to bring them herself! Next ep. on January 3, 2012 (break on December 27, 2011). |

| It was funny when Chihaya was worried for Desktomu's 'low grades' only to find out he's still amongst the top of the class. "Fifth? I'm like fifth from the bottom." XD |
| Ara ara. |
| Her sister Chitose got a bunch of albumes already and of course Chihaya would be happy to get the first album that her family made. It was a bit desperated to see Chihaya like that but she quickly recovered when she notice that they family care for Chihaya not only for her sister Chitose. :) Even the sensei was touch by Karuta and such a high passion of the game, unless Tennis is more a calm game :) That's mean she is even worster than Top 50, Chihaya is not a person that are good at study. :D Omi Jingu is bright red, well that's true. Looks like a nice places to hold a tournament. :) I do want to know if Arata going to join National or not, guess they just want to surprised us. Looking forward for it :) Next episode is National Championship. |

Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| When she found the scrapbook I was overwhelmed with happiness |
| Nice episode well still proves that Chihaya is not the brightest one... but this time she was at least kind of nice progress it is and Arata can't come, even if he loves Taichi he has a mission! he stands in that bookstore because it is his destiny, if he leaves that place universe will die! really - he is the center of Reality, so has to stand there till end of time forever separated from his beloved man |
| I hope Arata comes to watch them next week (: |

 |
| Awww, this episode was so sweet! I'm glad that the people around Chihaya are beginning to see how much karuta means to her, including her family and the sensei. I'm also glad that Chihaya is becoming more considerate and aware of her surroundings, especially during the scene when she was worried that Tsutomu was going to quit because of his dropping grades. XD Also, it seems pretty probable that Arata will make an appearance sometime during the tournament (I'm so excited!!), but it doesn't seem like he's joined any teams at this point... but we'll see! I wonder how Mizusawago will fare at the tournament. :) Also... two more weeks until the next episode?! No way! :( I don't know how I'm going to wait that long for more Chihayafuru!! |

Thanks, that made my day. I loved when the teacher saw them playing Karuta. I was touched. o.o Need more Chihayafuru!! |
| Ahh I'm just loving this show way too much. Everything is just so pleasant to watch. 5/5 |

| Great episode as always, I'm shipping Chihaya x Taichi relationships :">, they're so cute together, especially when Chihaya lost her confidence, there's always Taichi nearby to support her. 5/5 |
| I'm glad they showed Chihaya's scrapbook because I was worried that the parents were really blowing her off. |
| Break?! NOOOOOOOOOO Aw, Chihaya, I think you're prettier than your sister! But go dad! Nothing like watching a pair of daughters growing up. |

SergioSource said: This series is so sweet, each episode never fails to disappoint me. 10/10 :P Don't think that's what you meant to say. But yeah, cute episode. I liked her finding the scrapbook. :) I think I can get over the anime-ness and just enjoy it for what it is. |
| Awesome episode I loved it. Retro-kun and the ma'am were kind after all :o tsubasalover said: Next ep. on January 3, 2012 (break on December 27, 2011). T_T... that's sad no Arata until next year ;O;!! I'll use this break to try to learn how to play Karuta xD! |
 |
| Good episode,i was kinda sad see Chihaya depress as always but Taichi its awesome to bring up her spirit back together,to see that there family wasn't putting attention to Chihaya but it was nice to see his dad cares for both daughters alike. It was nice to see that the "Empress" watchhow serious Karuta is for them,that is not a game for them and get the same feeling and desire to win. tsubasalover said: Next ep. on January 3, 2012 (break on December 27, 2011). NOOOOOOOO have to wait to see how they do on the tournament at least the wait hopefully will be well worth it and i am sure it will be! |

Arata is Watanuki. It all makes sense now. |
 |
| The character development in this show is simply amazing. Even the supporting cast (the other three on the team) are really becoming more interesting. The only one we haven't seen progress is Arata because he has been off-screen for most of these episodes. I begin to dread his reappearance because I am afraid he may scoop Chihaya away from Taichi. Two weeks will be a long time to wait.... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I hope arata is saving up his part time job money to move back to tokyo.(if he does likes chihaya). definitely one of the best heartwarming anime out there. |
 |
amginex said: man, that scrapbook made me tear up a bit. this is definitely a 10 in my list now This is why I watch anime. Seriously. |
| Still not a believer in Chihaya x Taichi, though I don't even really want to consider Arata. I'd rather she just keep doing what she does best, whoopin in karuta. =P That said, awesome episode. Was nice to get a glimpse at Chihaya's family again, and the album thing was so dawwwww cute. |
Dalek-baka said: The funniest thing is that, if we go purely by signs, that's what it looks like... Arata doesn't text Chihaya, but he texts Taichi! Arata never called Chihaya, but he calls Taichi! Arata doesn't talk much to Chihaya, but he has no hangups about being talkative and open with Taichi!and Arata can't come, even if he loves Taichi Seriously, if Arata/Chihaya fangirls keep insisting that Arata/Chihaya is otp and Taichi has no fighting chance with Chihaya despite his best efforts, I'll be just claiming that it's Taichi Arata is in love with, and damn if I don't have a lot more evidence on my side. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Such a sweet episode,I loved that moment when her Chihaya thought that she was not given much importance as compared to her sister but her father was also collecting her pictures & she became so emotional.So heartwarming. |

aftermidnight said: wow can i watch an episode without laughing/smiling/tearing up please?!!? this series went from a 9 to a 10 in my list after this episode too. Seriously?I also rated it from 9 to 10 after watching this one.. |

| Great episode as usual. The scrapbook scene was heartwarming. And I know that feel when the people around you ignores your success. Chihaya <3 |
| Another amazing episode. I have to admit I cried when she found the scrapbook. Also, the last scene with the OP playing was really heartwarming. 5/5 for this week. Gonna miss it next week though. |
| The scrapbook made me cry too, nice work dad. And yay, the empress finally starts to get interested in karuta. |
| And thus, Chihaya's parents finally realize they have two daughters. That scene brought a smile on my face. :) |
| Almost perfect episode once again. Chihayafuru is becoming quite a Hell of an anime, I'm ranking it easilt in my top 5 of the year. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Awww, that scrapbook part was really cute. But can someone tell me why they were at Omi Jingu? Was it the training or something? I mean, I don't believe a month has already passed... |
| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| Somehow this show always manages to bring a smile to my face, it's just so heart-warming and inspiring. It's also nice to see that the teacher begins to respect Karuta more. |

| Once again amazing episode.So heartwarming and always brings smile to my face :3 It sucks to wait for next episode I need it NOW!!!! |
| Aww Chihaya's family >____< Didn't expect that. |
 |
| 5/5 Oh nice episode :) Touching |
 |
| Aw yeah the teacher is going to take them seriously from now on! Also not-so loving the fact her parents only now stop neglecting her because she reached the paper. |
| Even if there's a clear difference in level among the members of the club, it's great how everyone has an important role to play in the team, no matter how small it may be. It helps the whole group growing up. |

Yeah it was so nice seeing how her parents never forgot about her and that little comment of "Chihahya is awesome" from her dad was so sweet. I like how fathers love their daughters in such stories. Sanguis said: And thus, Chihaya's parents finally realize they have two daughters. That scene brought a smile on my face. :) What that scene shows is that they never needed to realize such a thing. They always knew it. Chihaya is the one that just realized that they did. |
