| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Taichi and Chihaya going to visit Arata after the phone call yesterday. According to neighbor girl, he's part-timing. She's rushing, and Taichi slowing her down, then Arata went past by bicycle! Interesting how Taichi wanted to hold her hand before that. Arata telling them to go back, while Chihara trying to convince him. Oh, so his grandpa passed away. Even the neighbor girl pushed karuta cards back. According to her, he took care of him most of time, and he passed away while he was away receiving award for karuta level up. Arata looking through notes with Chihaya's letter while alone. Chihaya considers Arata as God of Karuta, and Arata wanted to be her friend. Chihaya regretting visiting him, and seeing him riding to see them off. Daichi promised to be in the karuta club together to wait for Arata to be back to karuta. |

| So this is how the chapter 10 ending, very fast pacing. :) |

| > I just want to know neighbor girl's name... It mentioned in episode. Her name is Yuu |
 |
| I teared up. I'm not gonna lie. Chihaya's notes to herself were hilarious! :P 5/5 |
 |
| Great episode. XD |
| Nice, somehow it feels like the real story is going to start with the next episode. |

| Yet another lovely episode. Gotta love this anime. The more I see this anime the more I fall in love with Chihaya! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| So Arata's reason was that simple and shallow. I feel like drop kicking him for being a teenager. Show's going good but would like to see more of Chihayas craziness. Add two drop kicks for Taichi aswell, for giving up. |
| Chihaya's so pretty. No wonder they both like her. Taichi was a bit aggressive and controlling in this episode - but I still like him despite his flaws. Arata on the bike was cute. I love this anime - it turned into a really surprisingly good one. :) |

| Arata´s voice *nosebleeds* Love Arata, Taichi and Chihaya. Period. ShortTermCrook said: So Arata's reason was that simple and shallow. It was not shallow at all. If you loose one of the persons you most love in the world, that played with you everyday, and that died while you were playing away, i dunno why but i have the feeling you would stop playing for a while, you know. Try to understand the feeling of playing and constantly remembering of your grandfather´s death. Its not particularly motivating. |

insipidclownfish said: Hopefully that new character looking at the karuta poster will spice things up. Things are going good, but some more characters would be welcome. I agree with you Can't wait to see the new character next week |
| Really did enjoy this episode. was REALLY good, the part where arata came cycling to see chihaya and taichi was plain EPIC! Damn, before this episode, i disliked arata for some reason, but after this episode... he totally gained my respect!!! >_< ins-chan said: oh God, the tension between Taichi and Chihaya... my, oh my. I hope for more Taichihaya action! haha!! me too!! Although i think the next ep wil focus more on the karuta club getting members... anyways, that'd still be good! XD |

| I love this anime so much!!! It has so deep feelings and relationships <3 I quite of understand and I don't blame Arata...He really really misses 'his'Chihaya <3 |
ShortTermCrook said: So Arata's reason was that simple and shallow. I feel like drop kicking him for being a teenager. Show's going good but would like to see more of Chihayas craziness. Add two drop kicks for Taichi aswell, for giving up. Really, that's quite a unique response is all I'll say. Let's see Arata blames himself for his Grandfather's death, because he was off getting his A rank in karuta instead of watching him. Which I'm sure his Grandfather told him to go to, so it's even harder to take. As a result he gives himself some sort of self loathing punishment by cutting all ties with anything that's related to karuta. Your right, what a shallow bastard. /sarcasm |
| New character? o.o and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! *O* *spazm* THIS SHOW IS SO AMAZING!!! ;~; Its so beautiful that it makes me want to cry! ;__; |
| Fantastic episode as always. The characters' relationship is just perfect ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
ShortTermCrook said: So Arata's reason was that simple and shallow. I feel like drop kicking him for being a teenager. ...uh. You have got to be kidding me. Shallow!? If you have EVER lost a loved one, and missed them passing away/wasn't there to help because you were off doing something... you wouldn't be able to forgive yourself (or have a terrible time doing so). Every time he plays the game Karuta (Or thinks about it), he's reminded of the day his grandfather died (whom he looked up to, loved, and wasn't WITH when he passed). I couldn't think of a LESS shallow reason to close himself off. It would be a shallow reason if he stopped because a 'girlfriend' didn't want him to play because it was taking time away from her. That's an example of shallowness. I would love to hear what you think ISN'T a shallow reason. Anyways... stellar episode as always. The music is so beautiful and compliments the drama and emotion. Excellent. Can't wait to meet the new character.... |
  |
| I'm not a big fan of romantic tensions and such, so I love that the next episode is going to be about the karuta club. Also, I love Chihaya! |
| It would be nice if they would return to the game :] episode was ok... of course he will return :) well you could tell it in previous episode only part which is worrying me are those romance-triangle sugestions along the way... but for now it seems that they didn't go for it and is it only my impression or there was something weird in way they were running? |
shanimebib said: Next episode, we will get to see [ZU] LOL, calling her ZU! XD This episode was great! I was expecting this king of reason but well, who cares when Chihayafuru is so awesome? And I was like : oh no! when Taichi missed his chance to hold chihaya's hand! :( But taichi should break up with his girlfriend first! |
| God I cried. This anime has a wonderful atmosphere, so much depth and passion. It's easily one of my favourites in a long time. |
| Was a 3/5 for the majority of the episode, got a 4 at the end. Why? because it appears that neither of the characters understand basic human emotion, and their retarded actions only served to catalyze melodrama. |

| Damn. Why train chasing always gets me? ;_; That scene was f*cking EPIC! (more train chasing in anime, please!) I was ready to cry at the chasing scene. That really got me. 5/5 ^^ Taichi and Chihaya FTW! But she won't chose neither Arata, nor Taichi. They'll stay friends. I feel it >.> |
| Never thought I would have chills in a jap card game anime for 3 of the first 5 episodes. great show so far. |
| Wow. I can't believe I've cried twice during this anime already. The thing with Arata's grandpa and why he couldn't play anymore was just heartbreaking. And when he was chasing after the train, when he started crying.. God, excuse me while I go and bawl my eyes out. Oh, and shallow? No. |
| THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE YET. I hope the three of them really reunite again ): I don't like Taichi and Chihaya as much as Arata and Chihaya |
| It seems my post piled up some hate already. But I still uphold my statement. He's a typical teenager portrayed very well. If anything he should blame himself for not finding replacement for the time of exam, not for playing karuta, something his grandpa surely wanted him to do ( DUH ). Plus, if it wasnt simple he wouldnt be just swayed away by brief visit. His resolution was weak because the reason was doubtful. I won't respond anymore in this topic. We got that character's circumstances cleared in this episode, wont have to debate on anything similar anymore. |
| Lol Chihaya! The notes and giving valentines chocolates to Harada-sensei!!?!! Awww really loved Taichi's monologue and all his jealous reactions! But poor Arata, definitely a case of self-infliction due to the guilt and pain... |
 |
| That last scene made no sense whatsoever |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| I get why people think Arata's reason for quitting are good and all, but I still think it's just kinda silly. If I was gunning to become worlds #1 violinist and my mom who supports and helps teach me stuff died during a competition, I think I'd feel more obligated to become #1 then I would to quit right there and relapse into a corner to waste away in. Also, I think the guy's a little socially retarded. If he still wanted to be friends why'd he need to be such a dick to Chihaya. I mean sure seeing her probably reminds him of karuta AKA his dead grandpa who is dead, but still. Also, Taichi is reaaally growing on me. He was really annoying as a kid, but his whole onesided love thing since kidhood are just so cute somehow. And his blatant hints at liking Chihaya are just so cute. And yeah. T_T |
| Yup, still Anime of the season. It still managed to get a few tears out of me when that letter popped out. God damn Arata and his sexy voice. |

| Yay Chihaya!!! I'm surprised that she actually went to visit Arata lol Chihayas just such a BOSS lulz Episode with random neighbor girl telling why Arata didn't play Karuta was kinda brute but got better in the end when Arata rode his bike after them. I thought it was kinda weird though when Chihayas like lets play karuta in this room ! (right next to the grandpa memorial thing) |

What if it was you responsibility to watch over your sickly mother and instead you were doing extra practics at school with your violin? Would it not affect you the slightest that you were not there to watch over her when she died? I think that's what hit Arata hard. I imagine the competition went longer than he and his family had anticipated and so in his absence his grandfather went into relapse. Anyway, a pretty good episode. I could have done without the train chase scene. I've already seen that 20+ times now x_x |
| I'm pretty sure every episode so far has made me cry, especially this one. That's a good thing in my books! I didn't think I liked Taichi, but after this episode, he is such a wonderful character. Even if I don't exactly like him as a person, his character is SO real, and his reactions to Chihaya are beautiful and realistic. I feel so bad for Arata, too. I still can't get over how gorgeous Chihaya is. This is shaping up to be one of the best anime I've ever seen. |
| Poor Taichi, he was about to make a move... |
| Taichi's cruch on Chihaya is so adorable, especially the part when he was saying what love was. Arata's deep voice is sex. Taichi's jealousy/angry faces are sex. Chihaya grabbing Arata off the bike and then crying saying "I missed you" was hella sweet, adorablee, and full of win. Oh and Taichi trying to grab her hand...SO CLOSE!! The whole episode was amazing and I freaking love this show!! Chihaya got mad hearing skills |

To your previous comment; the only people I feel like drop kicking is trolls, even more so if that's your actual personality, because the way you word it is you'd kick anyone who's human, let alone a teenager.

Well it's no wonder your comment will generate negative feedback. But to each their own, even if their beliefs are completely skewed and fatuous. |

| lol @ whitebeard's voice on arata's grandpa.so is this yuu going to be the jealous female character now?... also chihaya can sense/hear arata from miles away.the super power of love |
amirhossNov 1, 2011 10:18 PM
| I don't know if i'm wrong on this but I think arata stopped playing because he was suppose to watch his grandfather that day instead he went to the tournament. he felt it was his fault that he might have caused his death. if he was there, might have prevented it. and he was probably 12-14 so...=/ well everyone is different. might not affect you but might affect others. but now he is back into the game. can't wait for the next =( |
