| This was the first time Chihaya started looking at Taichi in a different way, but not only her. It seems to me that Arata also for the first time considered Taichi to maybe be someone to rekon with when it comes to karuta.... it's probably the moment he started to feel a true rivalry for Taichi. Before he only had that little laugh attitude just like Chihaya at the training camp.... |

| At the very least blaming an anime for being “confusing” when you just skipped the first 50 episodes makes no fucking sense |
  |
| The basics of the game, the backstory of the main characters and the introduction of the rest of the cast happens during the first seasons. If you jump right into episodes 51-56 of a series that is not episodic it's quite understandable you won't be engaged at all. But having to explain this to someone with +400 completed shows is a bit silly. |

| This episode was a bliss! That's all I could ask from Madhouse! Beautiful!!! All the petals and leaves were so nicely done! I find very clever how they are investing their resources: where they add more complex animation vs. where they can get away with still images, or how they use 3D. (It gives me hope that a certain future scene will be very very very beautiful) The music is always so good! They are very well placed to emphasize each event! Voices are great!! Mamoru as Taichi is always so precious! Sumire's lines were especially beautiful with so much emotion in them. And finally Chihaya is looking at Taichi! Finally recognizing he's worth her attention as a Karuta rival (and hopefully in loooove... TT-TT). In not gonna lie... I shed a few tears watching this episode! Especially closer to the end. Even knowing every detail by heart, when the story gets animated it adds another layer of emotions especially because Chihayafuru anime is quite faithful to the manga. (memories are triggered and everything turns into one mush of happiness, nostalgia, awe and so on...) I'm looking forward to the next episode! |
| So the fake accounts downvoted this episode too, not just the anime itself. But here it's less obvious, since not all the down-votes are 1/1 ones. I mean, yesterday this episode's rating was 97-98%, for 2 days in a row actually, and now suddenly it's 81 Just how pathetic can a human being get? I pity those who have sh*t life like this. And the anime has 10% 1/1 too. I'm not even watching this anime, but it still annoys me so much... |

| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| Its hard to describe this episode, it featured such an amazing variety of symbols. Cherry blossoms turning into maple leaves, spring becoming autumn. Life in a flux. Not to mention that the background music hit really hard when it had to. And some comedic bits to avoid the dramatic elements becoming too heavt. Above all, it was refreshing. However, these eyes...  Truly commendable. He is making the most of his most powerful assets while diminishing the effects of Chihaya's strengths. But will it be enough? I hope that the final card that was sent flying does not hold any particularly special significance. |
| Sigh, every episode or manga release just makes me fall for Taichi even more. He is such a great character. God, I love him so much <3 This episode was pretty intense though, I can't wait for the next episode!! |

| Thank you sensei, it wasn't just Chihaya-- but all of us who had to breathe tbh |
The eyes of an antagonist. :P |

| I love the tension this anime transmits. It is the same tension as Akagi and Kaiji. |
| Yup, this episode felt like the next one is gonna be as mindblowing as a season finale :3 I think Taichi winning this, would make for a far more interesting plot afterwards! (People who already read the manga may be grinning at this xD) About the trolls' malicious deeds : of course they're so disrespectful to everybody... But mainly to the manga author and the whole team and cast of the show. They deserve audience and recognition. I would advise the hater(s) who are manipulating the animes' rating (that not everyone but quite some people trust and base their watching or not on) to watch or re-watch (with better attention) "Shirobako" to know what it feels to accomplish something good and to share it... I dunno, that situation makes me sick to my stomach actually. I'm started to consider this is about money, I mean I wouldn't be surprised MAL's ratings to influence significantly commercial successes or failures (?) |
| seriously, Taichi and Chihaya are perfect for each other, they've been there for each other all this time. i don't mind Arata either but.. i honestly don't know who i want to win. either outcome is fine by me |

| I was completely in awe during the whole episode esp toward the end. Wouldn't be surprised if tears were start rolling down considering what the future holds. The first 10/10 eps for me in years |
| This episode is easily in my top 3 best episodes of anything I've watched this entire year. Holy shit season 3 is so beautiful. I hate watching seasonals and was going to wait until this finished airing, but I couldn't resist. Guess I have to wait weekly like everyone else now. Fuck. |

FMmatron said: This episode left me with tears nothing else absolutely beautiful.One word to describe this episode: beautiful. Ok, this series as a whole is is of incomparable beauty, but this episode even more so. The intense karuta exchanges, the thoughts of the players, spectators and lastly of Arata. Everything wrapped up magnificently. |
| Chihaya vs. Taichi. At last. And it's the final match of a tournament! I've been waiting for it to be honest , haha. Episode was good, but in my opinion there were too many dialogues. I know, I know, they were necessary, but they slowed down dynamism of this episode and by that the tension was lower. Arata is getting more and more jealous. ;p Am I the only one who thinks that Chihaya was drawn prettier than in the two previous seasons? ;) |
| Taichi, he grew up so fast xD It's nice to see Chihaya remembered to maintain her posture Awww Arata, sorry but this time it's Taichi's turn to fight Chihaya Well I already knew who's going to win but I'm still really excited to see their reactions |
"Signature removed"   |
| ok that was intense...truly so intense..I really want chihaya to win.... |
 |
| No, it's not annoying, alot of us love Taichi! That match was so beautiful.....Taichi went through alot of effort to think out a strategy that would make Chihaya finally look at him.. it was so unexpected that is was Taichi that played this match with her and how intense it turned out to be. |

| Another brilliant episode. A lot of people loathe Taichi for multiple reasons but I'm really happy he's getting all this screen time now. He went through hell being stuck in B class. Glad to see this burst of improvement. |
| WHAT A GOOD CHAPTER, this finale is great and full of tension!!!! |
| Impressive match so far especially on Taichi side with his weird card positioning and strategies and above all his stamina considering he didn't get any rest compared to Chihaya who got some thanks to Tsuboguchi yielding. I really don't know who to root for here as either side can take the win. |
 |
| ohoho, taichi vs chihaya! been waiting for that for a while and it's finally happening :D taichi's probably gonna win >w> |
i wish i was a cloud |
| This episode was just AMAZING. Can't believe this is only 6 episodes in. I mean, it's so intense, and I'm at the edge of my seat as if I'm watching a finale! And the visuals this time were beautiful. Chihayafuru has always been excellent visually, but this episode was especially beautiful. That's exactly the word that describes this episode. The backgrounds, the flowing wind, the cuts of their swings, the floating leaves, the tears. And Hanano said it best. After all this time, Chihaya is really looking at Taichi, really looking at him. Taichi's progress has been impressive, and that's an understatement. He went from just passing into Class A at the end of last season to becoming this stable, smart, skilled beast today. He might not yet be able to stand toe to toe against Arata, but he's real close. Soon, they'll be on equal terms. He even beat Murao, someone who can consistently beat Arata. As a Taichi x Chihaya shipper this episode made me really happy ^^ there is a certain feeling in my heart that this is too good to be true and I'm afraid for the future, but I guess I'll enjoy this moment while it lasts. That moment when Taichi asked if Chihaya's finger was okay too was so awesome. The visual direction. The music. Everything was top notch this time around. One of the most epic background pieces I've heard in this entire series, and that's saying something since this series has one of THE BEST OSTs of all the anime I've seen. 10/5 if I could. I wonder who'll win... I can't put it... I thought it was going to be Chihaya, but after their match started I have no idea! |
 |
| All those failed attempts at escaping Class B seemed to jumpstart Taichi's dominance of Class A. It's unreal how he has a solid chance of beating Chihaya in an official game. I feel bad for Arata in so many different ways lol |
