Look at that eyes of Akira, she is someone who has an extreme grudge against Satowa!
Trash mom is trash absolutely!
4/5.

Damn, this was some heartrending episode for Satowa in particular!

Accepting the choice of music plus going back to her family house for begging a 17-string koto, god this is selfless to an extreme imo. Good thing Chika and Kurusu were there for her in turns though to help her overcome this hurdle.

Looks like Kurusu’s still lovestruck as ever, how adorable. Of course those three golden rules won’t avail but I’m looking forward to seeing how that goes nonetheless! I doubt we’ll get a wrap-up on this by next week, the Nationals have taken utmost priority after all.

Interesting, I wonder what role Akira will play in the coming episodes. Got to say, that’s some vicious daze from her though, what’s that about? I hope we don’t have to see that annoying Grandma of hers though.

I know right, this was so sweet and hilarious at the same time. No wonder why she’s afraid of losing this group ;-;

Man, that scene where Hozuki goes home to ask to borrow the 17 string was heartbreaking... how can a mother ever treat their child like that? And how could she let that old woman and her granddaughter speak to her like that? Well, fuck them because Hozuki was the bigger person and didn't let them get to her!

It's amazing how different a piece of music can sound depending on the emotion you put into it is; Hozuki's competition piece was so sad and desperate but when she played the same piece during club it sounded so light and happy!

I'am loving this show, it's really easy to see it.
I still thinking that Hozuki's mother it is a totally bad mother,
I don't care if they get along well again because she doesn't deserve a daughter as Hozuki.
Even though was a fast episode to me.

People like that old woman are the reason I have no problem saying that I don't respect my elders.

I'm willing to be courteous and polite, but if I was trying to talk to my mother regardless of where our relationship may be and some random kept interrupting (I don't even know what she was saying because I was so irritated that I looked away from the subtitles), I'm telling them to shut the fuck up whether they're 10 or 100 years old. With no hesitation.

Shout-out to Hozuki for powering through the events of this episode.

I feel like there are some weird jumps in the episode, but nothing too bad I guess. I'm still really enjoying the series since it's one of my favorite current running manga.

It was heartbreaking to see Hoozuki prostrate. But despite her mother acting cold, it seems like she still has a heart. Maybe she was just acting tough, like she thinks she has to be due to her position. But as we have learned from pretty much any character that you might've disliked at first in this series, there's always more to them. Which is true in real life as well, first impressions aren't always accurate.

Best moment in this episode had to be when grandma Doujima butts in, and Hoozuki replied to her that she was talking to her mother! Must've a been a nice slap to the face.

It's funny how this is nowhere near the manga's quality but still so enjoyable! That's just how good the story and characters are

If the team behind Chihayafuru had made this the score would've been between 8.70 - 9.00 (MAL). The dogeza was really well done though I'll give them that

And hate Akira's grandmother even more now that she's voiced and all

Tear-jerkingly good episode. Satowa is going through so much but she has become a incredibly strong. Strong enough to endure those snakes.

When Chika was marveling at the the 17 string I had to think of 17-string chads vs 13-string virgins

Ouch! Hozuki's mom is as cold as ice ><; That's not surprising cuz she didn't change her behavior after all this time Hozuki was in her care. Not a good feeling... Those two didn't leave a good impression neither, especially granny. This Akira girl sounds like trouble too. Didn't like one bit.

Great episode! Hozuki loves her club and that shows very well ^w^

Going back to the story between Hozuki and her estranged family, the set piece chosen for their upcoming Nationals is the one that started the fiasco and rift in the family. It's a tough decision no less than surpassing their current style of play. But giving it a second chance is better than not facing past hurts and fears head-on.

More and more, I love Takminami-sensei's role in all this, from the skeptical to the believer whose planning is succinct in trailblazing the club forward.

But...more trouble for Hozuki as the visit back to her former household, even to borrow the 17-string koto. As if the household isn't this shrewd enough, Hozuki's dogeza was heart-wrenching enough as an "excuse of sorts" seen by her former family. Just hoping that her renewed sound can reach her mum in the sinister plot that is the grandmother taking in a pupil-cum-rival at the same time. The same competition that shook Akira in the first place after Hozuki was thrown out of the house.

The episode was a bit boring to be honest, the previous one was better. I think the problem is the introduction of that character, every new character has bad intentions for her or another one, it’s becoming a bit repetitive. I don’t if repetitive is the correct word to explain what I mean.

Those two currently on the side of Satowa's mom are sketchy AF. The granddaughter might be up for revenge or whatever that was.

man... fuck that granny.

And I can already picture, Satowa's mum will show up to listen to the song that made her excommunicate her daughter and Satowa's feelings will finally reach her. Now I wonder what's up with Akira, maybe she thinks Satowa is wasting her gift.

So that's Akira, seems interesting. Loved the way Houzuki stared back at Akira in that scene, it was so good.

Another good episode from Takinami as well. The opening for the song sounds nice already.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
