| What the heck, Taichi?! Why you wanted to knock her down, lmao. It was so cool to see that Chihaya's parents actually also care for her, at least her father who is constantly updating those books with any press article or photo of both his daughters. The headmaster got finally convinvced to respect karuta, haha. @Mattinator95 , I know the feel. But don't worry, eventually we had discovered this anime. Later than sooner, it doesn't matter, because we started watching it anyway. ;p |
| Poor Chihaya, outshone by her model sister! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Looks like her parents still give the elder sister all of their attention. Sucks not having support from your family. Well, I take that back. There was a single book. Man Chihaya really beats herself up over little things. Omi Jingu! Chihaya is about to experience karuta like never before. |
| Yooooo, to the nationals! And Chihaya's parents have finally shown her some love. Sweet ❤. About time the empress give the gang some respect It looks like the op changes next ep :'( |
 |
| To the tournament! Very good |
| Man, I really hated when Chihaya felt like her family was giving all the attention to her elder sister, and also when their advisor basically ignored them. Really made me almost tear up, especially the family one. But I'm glad that it was all resolved in one episode! It was heartwarming to see Chihaya find her dad's scrapbook of her, even if it only has two for now, many more is to come. And then their advisor witnessing their passion, and finally wanting to see them at the nationals. That was great. |
 |
| Really wholesome to see Chihaya's parent didn't only focus on her older sister but also tracked her accomplishments. Also great to see 'the empress' recongizing Karuta isn't just a card game to pass some time but an actual sport |
 |
| Pacing remains pretty high, was expecting more than one episode before nationals, but whatever works works, I guess. Good to see that both Chihaya's parents and the teacher now care about karuta, especially as I was wondering why the teacher even wanted to be advisor in the first place. As for the parents, entirely possible that this was a case of Chihaya not really being all that perceptive and her sister just always drawing attention to her, though I still feel like her family situation isn't all that ideal. But if so, it's the sister to blame and not the parents. Oe's unconventional card layout was something I saw coming back when she joined the club, especially as that episode mentioned getting used to your training partner's layout as something to be avoided. I wonder how her opponents will react to it and if it will be beneficial to her in the long run. I'm actually a bit surprised that there are two karuta societies within easy commuting distance, especially if there seem to be only 12 schools in Tokyo competing, indicating the amount of players in any given year is about 20 or so in the entirety of Tokyo at the age where a sport is likely to have the most participants (because you don't have to deal with being an adult yet). Add on to that that this series isn't set in the middle of Tokyo, where density for anything is likely to be higher, and it seems a bit weird that they're splitting up. But them doing so is likely a good idea as more societies equals more teachers and the teachers can focus on the individual students more. Just hope they won't end up splitting their club in to two groups that way, but I doubt that happening. |

| Damn I thought this would turn into another one of those shows where they don't show the parents but then we got this |
| Trophy looks great. I'm glad Chihaya's family did not forget her after all |
 |
| Chihaya finding the scrapbook made for her made me smile so much. Also, winning the Empress over with sheer passion alone is arguably just as big of a feat as winning regionals lol |
| Heartwarming episode. Finally the Karuta players get some recognition, Chihaya from her parents and the club from the teacher. Still I kinda feel meh about her parents, why didnt they mention or congratulate her, why just put her photo in a folder so nonchalantly and not praise her etc. Anyway still a nice episode |
 |
| Ok so Chihaya's parent's aren't completely blind good to know. Also about time the teacher woke up too. |
