| Nooo recap! The mini segments at the beginning and end were kind of entertaining at least |
| >Not enough money. >Johnny Depp Uh, is it just me or did this feel like a recap episode? I guess that's why it didn't air the usual time? Weird. Edit: I checked the original Chihayafuru series and seems like they also did a recap exactly on episode 16 from Season 1 as well. |

| FUCK THIS SHIT... I SWEAR TO GOD.... 'RECAP' EPISODES IN ANIME ARE THE MOST USELESS PIECE OF SHIT EVER.... SO USELESS AND ANNOYING T___T CHIHAYAFURU WHYYYYYY T^T </3 WHYYYY I kind of had a feeling this would happen b/c there was once last season, but UGHH.. WE ARE WASTING TIMEE! T____T </3 If I wanted to recap my memories on this show, I would watch the whole show again.. but MY GOD! 9 episodes left and we still have the individual tournament to go through and I hoped deep down in my heart that we could see Chihaya become Queen! T___T </3 I could PRAYYY MY CRYING HEART OUT for a third season, but its not so often shows get a third season T___T //sobs |
| UGH I HATE RECAPS. Just when te final team match was beginning.... >.<" |
 |
| I hope this means the next ep is going to be absolutely amazing. |
F8L-Fool said: I'm just perplexed by a lot of the match outcomes. They win and lose in a believable realistic amount. This isn't a shonen so the character's don't win every time. Chihaya is playing against class A players, these are people who are just as crazy good as her at the VERY LEAST, and many stronger, it makes sense she'd get smashed a lot. She's not a magically amazing player with super powers because of being the lead character, she's a normal human being up against people who are just as skilled and often times moreso. The Queen on the other hand is amazing at the game. Chihaya is just another class A player - she's literally nobody special and the show has never treated her like a prodigy. She has the raw talent, but not the skill or game smarts that most other class A players have, which is what she's learning and working on even with her losses. The same goes for Taichi - he's not some Karuta prodigy, he's just a guy who is pretty good at it up against other guys who are pretty good to great at it. Basically; Chihaya, Taichi, and even Arata are just "very good players". The thing is, so is EVERY SINGLE OTHER CLASS A AND B PLAYER. The only person truly above most other players, the only actual prodigy in the show, is the Queen and the guy's equivalent. You're not watching some shitty low-level beginner play against Chihaya, you're seeing two players of the highest caliber go against one another. Of course she loses a lot, she's barely good enough to be considered class A and she's up against people who easily would outrank her if it went any higher. She's like on the lower percentage of skill in the A class. The thing is, she's also got a shit ton of raw talent - and the more experience she gets and techniques she copies, the more that talent starts to show as skill and game knowledge. She's developing realistically instead of just "I'm the best!". |

| I was so looking forward to the Fujisaki match....and then....recap...... D: I pretty much just skimmed the episode. |
 |
| No!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recap :/ |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| the beginning was entertaining but...that's it |
 |
| Not enough money? -_- I call BS. I don't know how studio Madhosue structures itself, but I'm betting they're just cutting corners by not paying their employees what they should, because this thing seemed to be planned well in advance. It costs money to even have a certain number of episodes they can air, which they have to pay, so I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why we get a crappy recap is because the people higher up can pocket more money while the people doing the actual work get paid in peanuts, thus not paid to draw/animate newer content around this time. No one cares about how the female porker and the skeleton hooked up. I'm having my doubts they will even cover all of the individual tournament this season. |
| are.. are.. are you kidding me? I waited impatiently a week and now, it reminded me that recap exists in Chihayafuru.... But at the same time, I think we should be grateful that a season 2 was made so quickly, so I won't complain more. |
| Uggh, I was totally looking forward to this week's Chihayafuru. Instead of having this useless recap ep, I would have preferred that they didn't bother to air anything this week at all. That way I wouldn't have to waste my time on downloading a useless episode and it wouldn't have set me up for such disappointment in having my hopes up for some new Chihayafuru. I watched the first 2 mins, realized it was a recap and just didn't bother to watch the rest. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
My face when I saw a recap episode. You bastards, leaving us on such a cliffhanger too. I should have expected it from last season. |
 |
| It really was a recap. I still "watched" (listened) it. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| ahhhh!!! why recap? do they think we cant remember what we saw in the last 15 episodes? fucking retarded cause this is one of the very few show that i really look forward to every week (since season 1). gah! |
| Meh, recap. |
 |
| WHY?! I generally don't like recaps in the first place, but I feel like a recap episode is just extra unnecessary for a slow-paced sports series like this... |
| I'll just believe that this episode doesn't exist |
| Recap episode? Right in the heart. |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| Dirty bastards.... |
 |
| Am i really the only one who actually enjoyed the recap?? Just wondering, yeah, they are at the climax but with all that happnes every episode a recap is needed to remember all that has happened, and i had a great time with all he quirks, jokes and intense parts of the series. Just my idea as a fan of the series (and the manga) |
| Tsk recaps , I should have expected this |
 |
| I love recaps |
| To celebrate this episode I'm going to repost three of my best posts from previous episodes... ...or maybe not. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| i love having my balls stepped on. fuck. |
    |
| Just so people know, Taichi has yet to lose his games in the team matches. but the one we all want to win all the time is Chihaya lol. Gosh waiting another week! Should have known the recap ep was gonna come. |
| Waited one week for a recap? Seriously? Ugh!! |

| They leave a cliff hanger every fucking episode and then a recap. My awesome day just got ruined. |
| Damn recap So LHAAAAAAAAME |
| well there goes my 343mb of bandwidth i didn't end up seeing. damn if i knew this was a recap i wouldn't have bothered. :/ |
 |
| Why a recap episode?! I was looking forward to this episode so much, I can't wait another week to start the finals. I hope at least they will make a third season because there won't be any time for the individual matches. |

THIs, I demand THIRD SEASON I wanna see That will be epic if Animated in the third season with Taichi kicking major ass. |
| Just the same troll as last season, not bad. |
 |
| uh, so unnecessarily. I'm not going to bother with it at all. At least the manga raws for the match are available, or else I would die from waiting. |
| It is the start of Golden Week so a bunch of shows may have recaps. Not sure Hetalia had an episode yesterday at all. The start was quite funny at least! Poor Kanade and her three eyelashes, so funny the boys reaction when she had fake ones on! Poor Sumire's main contribution to the show so far, mascara... Yes, the match is long over in the manga. I do wonder though, how far they will get as the match is over with book 15. 5 more books after that and we could get pretty far into them depending on how many episodes they take for the finals. |
| I enjoyed season one's recap because it was original and fun. This season's was neither. Oh well, it's only one week. |
recap |
| Beware of episode 16...I'll keep that in mind for next season, if we get one (I want to believe!) |

makoa69 said: Is the Chihayafuru manga racing with the anime counterpart? It seems to me the only reason to make a recap episode (or several) is to give the manga a week or two to get back in the lead. One piece has a lot of filler and recap episodes, and those exist to give the manga time to get ahead a bit. Other than that, there is no reason to make a recap episode. If they're low on budget and can't afford to make one more episode (-_-), then they should have set the episode count to 24 instead of 25. If I knew nothing about Chihayafuru, watching this recap episode would not tell me jack about the show, nor would it make me wish to watch episode 17. And if I missed like one week of the show, I'd read a summary of it online (which would be much more informative than this haphazard recap episode). I think I just wrote this a few replies up but anyways... We are at the end of volume 14 of the manga. Volumes 15-20 are already out. So the manga is already far ahead and I would be surprised if they do 6 books in 9 episodes. Well, they could but the nationals team battle takes up book 15 and I'll be surprised if they just do one episode on that given that the previous match took more. Then individuals... So as I wrote above I wonder if this was a Golden Week holiday filler recap episode. |
| Aww a recap episode. I love the scenes in between the recap. |
| *yawn* Oh well, guess I'm going back to watching older stuff/waiting for AoD to get its act together with Yahari/Mondaiji-tachi again. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| skipped it. not gonna rate it. lol |
| Recaps in 25 episode series are real buzzkills... >_> Why do they do that? It's so enormously useless... |
