Chihayafuru 2

[yukihime03]

Glad to see you're warming up to GatsArata but you know the queen has always been creepy when it comes to something she's terribly obsessed with (in this case Karuta otherwise it would be those awful mascots) and GatsArata happens to be one of her biggest obsessions for obvious reasons.

Remember GatsArata stood undefeated for his age bracket, as Nishida had pointed out before as being his reason for making him wane on Karuta (GatsArata was so good that he basically smashed everyone with his almost insurmountable talent), until he decided to stop due to the incident with his grandfather which traumatized him so you can guess why Shinobu is absolutely obsessed with him.

Another provoking attempt.

I just hope that Shinobu won't do something bad.

What is this? #teamTaichi

EPisode 8 is so funny but fresh as always. The ending was the best though, Shinobu-chan had always wanted to meet Arata and now she got the chance. Can't wait to see them in battle! <3

Other than the match being quite good yeah the humor just keeps on rolling, wait till you guys see more jokes about the Master of Karuta (AKA the biggest headache in history). So wondering what do you guys think of ArataGats and Shinobu now

[phio_chan]

I'm enjoying the episodes! Lately it may not be as awesome as previous episodes but I still love how simple and sweet it is. How sweet of Shinobu to do that even though it was for her own reason. But they look good together, just let Taichi be with Chihaya, ahehehe. <3

On other side glad to see the Ice Empress supporting the team so much in her own way. Everyone had grown so much.

Oh. My. God. I so love that ending scene of episode 14. Taichi, just how could you be so--



Anyway, I feel the semifinal was a bit slow, but it was wrapped up pretty nicely. I'm definitely looking forward to the final. Fujisaki is surely a special group for them to beat Hokuo so easily (poor Sudou, but the team members are even poorer for they'll face beating from Sudou lol). And their teacher is the most suspicious one. Judging from how Mizusawa had trouble with Akashi Girls team, they will probably have it even harder with Fujisaki, but there's always a miracle so yeah.

Remember only Taichi does despicable things

He only did that when they were children and even then he repented.

Oh, do you?

Seeing as you are in team ArataGats, aren't you jealous?

I LOVE the past three eps. They were so exciting! I'm glad that they won the match as a team, though a bit sad that Chihaya lost (well, I kinda know that she would lost anyway so...). Chihaya still has a lot to learn.

Now I'm more excited for the final match! If the semifinal was already so suspenseful, I can't wait to know how this one will go!

To be honest I really loved the ending of the match, reminded me why I love the series so much. Usually you have the main lead or one of the more experienced/famous/talented characters who wins or looses a curcial match/fight so I was surprised when all of a sudden everything was up to Komano. Really nice move, Chihayafuru never forgets to give each character some spotlight/time to shine. I actually was pretty nervous like all the guys in the anime "Is he gonna do it? Oh please...." but when he started that speech and you saw that one card mirrored in his glasses I knew he would win and just enjoyed him getting that card. I think I left out a little cry of joy just like his other teammates anyway, that was really exciting! Looking forward to the next episode

GYAAA~~~

I've been waiting for two weeks to know the conclusion of the match and...

I'm SO HAPPY! I was filled with dread and anticipation the whole time and..

I'm touched by Taichi's "valiant display"... He really gives it his all though he knows he has such bad luck, but thank goodness, God is on his side this time.

And Chihaya! Despite her hurting hand, she wins the match... and she manages to wake up in time to see Nikuman-kun's and Taichi's victory!

And the last part!!! Finally they meet Arata! Now I'm wondering what will happen next! (I want to see Taichi's jealous face again. )

[phio_chan]

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ARATA Please, Chihaya, please.... Look at that person behind you, who fights with you, who helped you to create the club in the first place...

A lovely episode. Just watching the opening of the episode, I was reminded of the intense battle and I got a bit nervous. It increased throughout the episode, and then that happened. That sweet victory. How could I not cry in happiness~

I wonder what Arata will do after this. And Shinobu-chan too. Although Shinobu is more stubborn than Arata, haha~

[naruto-niichan]

Would have been so so sad if Chihaya can't play the individual tournament because of her injury and lost the final.... but what a great win, Taichi was so impressive

I'm with you vio, Chihaya should rather focus on Taichi than Arata. I do like him but the one who supported her all this time wasn't him but Taichi, so she should thank him properly. We all know it's not that simple though, Arata will always be very special to Chihaya so I fear she's going to focus on him for now =/

And I really hope Chihaya can play the individual tournament, though that may be used as a plot device to prevent her from playing against the Queen again. My guess is that the author plans to give her another year until she's facing her again because as much as I would love it, it's too early for Chihaya to win against the Queen. There's a good chance we will finally reach the point of the manga scanlation though, if I'm not mistaken that's when

Arata and Shinobu face each other in a game of Karuta, probably as a part of the tournament.

Would be great because that means I could finally start reading the manga

i started watching this the other day (well season 1)

and it was the first time i have watched a jousei title

it was actually pretty interesting i dont believe that all jousei or shojou can onoy entertain gurls

just like all shounen and seinen onoy entertain boys

a person shouldnt let such labels.or demographics define what is entertaining to them
