| Great episode. I just noticed Arata's cellphone was pink. Cute. |
 |
| Chihaya is going to be swept off her feet by Arata. Only 1st place gets the prize, sorry Taichi. |
    |
| I think they should have left the ending animation out this time around and just kept the music playing while Arata shows more of his reaction to his senior member that he looked up to when he was younger. I think that moment needed to be flushed out a bit more since it felt really rushed as soon as the text came in cutting Arata off in his moment of dismay...although that may have been intentional on the director's part. |
| That was beautiful. I'm glad Chihaya finally won a match. Loving Taichi and Arata's bromance. We definitely need a second season :'( |
| That was a cute kid lol I laughed when Harada-sensei was telling Chihaya to use her speed XD He's so cool. And I can't believe Chihaya made that bet =.= I'm praying for a second season...I can wait |

I`m pretty sure there will be another season. I certainly hope so, I guess in these last 4 episodes only the eastern qualifiers and probably a wrap up episode are going to be covered. I just don't like the fact that a second season hasn't been anounced yet. So the second season most likely won't start in spring D: |
 |
| Great episode..The ending song was different seems like part of its full song. |
 |
| SECOND SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT WHERE!?!? I think I'll DIE if this show doesn't get a second season! I have a sinking feeling that it's going to wrap the anime up at the end of the Eastern Qualifier T_T I WANT MOAR! Now to the episode~ That 6th grader was really cute and likeable! It really was like a present Chihaya VS old Chihaya match! She saw the similarities between Ririka's playstyle and her old play-style! Chihaya really is maturing! As Docter/Sensei said she needs to learn ALL she can to stand a chance agaisnt the hard players, especially the queen, the master and Arata! She now knows to strategize during the match and is working on her timing. She still has a way to go though! I think she has to work on her memorization of the cards/poems a little though so that she can be able to be her swift self and swing at the right time BUT hit the right cards! No more dead/wrong cards Chihaya! It's been pointing out that that is her fault and I'm OH SO HAPPY she's working on improving it! The Arata-Taichi bromance was A-DOR-A-BLE >_< I'm glad Arata is giving it his all in the Westen qualifier!! I feel SO BAD for Taichi! He won't get his chance to have his battle with Arata for awhile T_T PLUS I swear he's this shows punching bag! ALL THE BAD CRAP HAPPENS TO HIM! I swear the mangaka must of had a sadistic urge to always hurt him :'( POOR TAICHI! xD In the love triangle... I still don't care who she ends up with! If it's ANY of them I think it'll be Arata but I LOVE both of them!! They both suit her for completely different reasons and theres chemistry EVERYWHERE! CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK! The wait is a killer every week >_< |
| Sudo is just hilarious as ever!!! XD Great episode as usual. |
| Chihaya was so awesome in this episode.I love the way she was eating chocolate xDDD Her expressions were were funny and cute. Sudou is cute sadist xDD That's why I like him :3 That bet with Chihaya was hilarious. I NEED SEASON 2!!!!! |
| I like Sado as well! (In real life I probably would be frightened by him). Chihaya made quite an unfair bet T.T |
 |
| I love this anime! I loved this episode! Taichi has such a good memory *o* Haha Arata's phone was pink xD |
| This series is made with love, an incredibly entertaining episode again. I have no idea if there's enough original content for a second season, the first season hasn't ended and I want more already, want more so badly! |
 |
despell said: I don't have any interest in karuta....bleeh! we need more drama, romance Usually I agree with this. And I still kind of do. I loved seeing those earlier moments where Taichi struggled with his feelings for Chihaya. But, it is a sport anime first. And karuta is the main appeal of, with very small parts of romance/drama sprinkled in. Why not watch an anime that's supposed to be drama/romance for that, then? xD |
 |
| F-four more episodes!?!? Another season please! And that felt so short!! Will Chihaya get her winning streak?? |
| I wonder how they're going to end it. Manga is still coming out so let us hope for the next season ; D |

| aw what a nice episode *w* wait...What if Chihaya loses her bet? o-o!! lol I love Arata<3~ and his pink cell phone lol I don't want this anime to end T^T!! |
 |
| Please tell me there will be a second season! Onegai! I am so in love with this anime I am already starting to feel that I will miss it a lot! T_T |

Shubidubi said: I almost cried when they showed the scene with the little girl being bullied because of her big ears. I too was bullied because of those features :'[ Also, Arata's friend Murao, sounded like he was singing to him with a T-Pain voice during the flashback. ur ears r so big......u probably heard the sun come up |

| Loved the little loli prodigy~ She was cuutee~~~ And wait a second. Arata's phone is Pink? I just noticed that??xD Greaaat~ If this keeps going the way it does, Taichi's gonna end up with Arata instead of Chihaiya~~x'DD |
  |
| Hahaha, Sudo quietly appear outside the room. Nobody fuss about the bald head dare anymore. Want to see Sudo eat back his words... muahahaha More parts of the ending song revealed. yay! |
 |
| Ahahaha, I lol'ed at Chihaya's brains and how full it is with karuta and Daddy Bear and so on. I felt really sorry for Ririka when she opened the door and they were talking about her, but then there was Chihaya. Well done, Chihaya! |

| Why is this show so epic D: Oh my god Taichi memorizing all the poems O_O He's kinda like Chihaya in that he only relies on that to get him through ... nice of Nishida to tell him to try to change haha XD Ririka was pretty cute o_O Chihaya got to be like Sakura and win not only using her speed ... plus it was nice of her at the end when she heard everyone talking about her :P Oh, Arata at the end and that guy who played for the Meijin title ... well, we finally know his name now :P Oh and Taichi and thinking of what to text him ... ahahaha XD Gosh, you're so precious ;) More ED revealed, although the transition was kind of odd IMO. Please, please let there be a second season D: |
| I marathoned this anime this weekend, all the way from episode 6 to present lol. Have to say this thing is the bomb! I'm loving every moment of it. It looks like Taichi and Arata have a score to settle in the finals (probably to win Chihaya over XD). I'm rooting for Taichi though, just because he's had the most character development out of everyone in this show. |
 |
| Love Sudo-san >< ! When Nishida saw that he was matched w/him Sudo walks past like "burn". Wasn't all that funny but I lololol'd Shubidubi said: Also, Arata's friend Murao, sounded like he was singing to him with a T-Pain voice during the flashback. XD I had to listen to it again. Murao was auto tuned. |
| I can't wait to see Taichi vs Arata |
 |
| chocolate(?) Ririka was CUTE! :) Based on how this story is going, I REALLY hope there's a second season - otherwise, I'm really thinking it'll feel rushed. |
  |
| He remembers all 100 poems!!!!! My reaction was pretty much the same as theirs (sans oblivious Chihaya! :P)!!! Ririka was too cute and love the Taichi/Arata 'rivalry'!! :) |
 |
| Whew, for a second there I thought Chihaya was going to lose to an old lady AND a little girl. Now that would have been embarrassing. |
 |
| A bald Chihaya would be funny. |
| Im loving the little bits of comedy! Such a feel good episode |
 |
| Is pretty epic, I have to say. |

| Sudden Realization: Arata has a pink phone! :D |
| ^--- My thoughts exactly. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| great episode :D i actually thought Taichi was spewing nonsense since the subs were being weird out of nowhere. pretty surprising he memorized those hundred poems O__O this is probably my favorite hairstyle of Chihaya!!! Kana Chan is lovely as always! damn that sudo guy corrupting Chihaya's mind!! also you lost in the first round buddy, so go bald now!!!!!!! Chihiaya liking Ririka!! it's also funny since Ririka is like Chihaya back then, relying on speed. she can definitely relate to her and her frustration. and lol Chihaya scream "CHOCOLATE!!" out of nowhere. i really hate stupid people putting some high expectations on a 6th grader. Arata get's ready for the next step, Taichi also fired up and is not willing to give up! |
| ^You put in so much effort into each of your comments^ Great episode as always. |

HawthorneKitty said: Must know Ririka's VA. Ririka and her mom are so adorable; I'm glad Chihaya is improving both as a person and a player. Daddy Bear I think I heard Chopper from One Piece in her. Damn can I cry now???? This episode is so beautifully done, this anime is so awesome! Chihayafuru for life! |

| I don't know why, but I just seem to love how she stuffs her face with chocolate. It's golden. |
| If she loses she has to shave her head xD The match with the little girl was quite interesting and rather cute :p The ending was interesting as well. |
 |
| 5/5 Nice episode, I'm not weigh succession of meetings, even heats. What a cute Ririka, excellent plot and narrative that exposes flawlessly. Do not miss anything! : D Great dialogues of Master Harada and the unpredictability of the facts narrated. Everything always turns around at all and never for a single character. Satisfied! * _ * |
