This being my first review, I decided to review Chihayafuru, anime which I have finished watching like 9 hrs ago, after whole day watching it.
Chihayafuru is one of those anime which at first you might think you will not be interested in, since (at least for me) it is a sport anime, and of a sport that I never even knew that existed till I watched this anime.
I admit, I was avoiding this Chihayafuru for quite some time, since I was not captivated by its premise. But as it often goes, first 3 episodes are crucial and either you get hooked or you
...
are off the hook. For me, it was the first one. I kinda like those casual animes where the main protagonist do not end up saving the whole world in the process (although once in a while, those are good to watch too) and this one is a perfect example how to make sport anime.
Each match does not take more than one or one and a half episode, which in comparison with like Kurokos basketball is really really short (like really, one basketball match that takes up to 5 episodes or something like that...), here it is sometimes settled in 12 minutes.
Character development cannot be discussed here without spoilers, so all I can tell that you can see progress with each of the protagonist from the beginning to the end.
As the music goes, nothing memorable here, sometimes I even forgot that there is some music playing in the background. I tried to watch into and outro more than once, but still I always ended up skipping it (nothing beats Spice and Wolf...)
In the end Chihayafuru is one of those sports animes which can captivate you even if you do not know anything about the sport, because the struggles of the main heroes captivate you that you can evend spend all day long watching this series.
