| OK, maybe my worries from last episode were misplaced because this episode was really good. What can I say, Sakurazawa talking about herself and Inokuma's resolve ... great stuff. Plus not to mention Harada - oh man, about him I clearly remember what happens in the manga, and I feel for him so much. Losing this match must have been super rough ... and then Hiroshi forfeiting against Chihaya too. I also think Taichi's match was done a disservice - we barely saw any of it and Chihaya slept through the entire thing, when I feel like he's gone through the most change especially with him leaning more towards a defensive style now. Still though, him beating Murao ... and Arata watching so carefully too. I wish we could have gotten some more insight on that match! (Also, clearly the OTP here is Taichi/Arata lol XD) Chihaya vs Taichi as the finals match should be great, and well, wouldn't it be nice if Taichi could fulfill his promise of beating her in a "fair" match? :O I honestly don't remember who wins, but I am HYPED for this match now ... OK, maybe another episode of tournament karuta is fine XD |
| Taichi vs Chihaya in the finals is fine though But it could be better if its Taichi vs Arata that would be more exciting, maybe they savin it for the finale or Chihaya vs Arata Also Arata have a close game against the Queen Shinobu last season but in this ep he lost by 5 consecutive cards oh well they savin him for future matches |

| I finally got some time and I did full re-watch of first two seasons before jumping into this one. I don't know if I caught up at good moment or not because from what I remember in the manga, the next match is pretty much the best match in the entire series and it's pretty much, hands down best match in the entire series and it's best by a long shot. That was just my impression from reading manga but I always liked Chihayafuru the anime far more. I have waited 6 years for this season but even more so, I have waited 6 years for this match to be animated. Ah, I still can't believe that we got season 3. |
| the climax at the end of episode...hmmm |
 |
| You really get invested in these matches! So glad Season 3 is here. |
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is shit |
| Heavy breathing, That was such a slow, but well paced episode. By far, I was the most on edge even though I totally could see it coming. We're seeing Taichi become the mirror of his enemies. 10/10. (Also just me or they're investing more in more music?) ...can't wait until next episode. Guys. Arata is watching. (I think Taichi will win so then Chihaya can win queens? But dunno if the ironic plot twist is that she doesn't skip her field trip or Taichi will choke... he's good at winning streaks. EYELASHES FIGHTING!) |
| The way Ayase won with that lightning-fast speed was very cool. And then she fell asleep right away, priorities. Intense match. Oh, it's Ayase vs Taichi next episode. Speedy Offense vs Offensive defense seems to be their respective forte. I hope Ayase wins, though it will very likely be a close and intense match as it's been hyped much. |
| I'm so hyped I wanna jump from my sit out of excitment for the next match I was so worried that Chiyaha would show up and throw off Taichi's game. |
| Arata lost...?! Chihaya made it to the final round without having to play in semi-finals?! Woah, but the best is about to happen... It seems the final match will be between Chihaya and Taichi! :o |
| Make way for future Queen, former Queen xD Haha Taichi he believed in his own luck that he'll never get a good luck So he attacked his opponent instead, knowing his card won't get called I guess it's true, Taichi is way stronger when Chihaya isn't around him |
"Signature removed"   |
| Next episode I am rooting for Taichi to beat Chihaya and forever be an impediment to Chihaya meetings Arata on the Karuta floor. |
| Both Chihaya and Taichi won their matches! Nice. But wow Taichi held his own and even won against Murao in the semi finals? That's some incredible growth. I'm very pleased with this. Now it's time for Taichi vs Chihaya. |
| No way...Taichi Vs Chihaya, this is going to be intense!!!! Good chapter |
| Chihaya vs Taichi for the final, OMG O__O Very surprised that Arata lost against Tsuboguchi. As always, the author manages to make the results of the matches very unpredictable. |
 |
| Arata losing from Tsuboguchi sure came as a twist considering with how much he was hyped to beat Suo. On the other side Chihaya and especially Taichi with his newly learned defensive karuta have shown some great growth, time to see how well they would fare against on another. |
 |
| I love this series so much! After losing a lot in the second half of last season, Chihaya is now more amazing than ever, beating a four-time ex-Queen like that, even after the Queen got all serious. It's definitely Chihaya alright to suddenly realise that she's not playing karuta when she should be at that moment lol You go, Taichi! As someone who really loves his character and his growth, I can't help but be so happy that Taichi's reached where he is now. He's got bad luck, no momentum, but he sure has skill, brains, memorisation, and hard work. That's my Taichi. And now, finally, for the first time in real tournament, Taichi is going against Chihaya in the finals! I wonder how the match will go. I'm so hyped for this! |
 |
| Arata not making it to the final was shocking enough but Taichi getting in? Dude's growth is legitimately crazy. The image of Dr. Harada holding Murao down lmao |
