Still way too short ;__; I wish I waited for the whole season to finish before I started watching (much like season 1) but oh well... on the edge of my seat again ;nn;

Lol all the idiots going crazy about Megumu flashbacks. The author and anime makers know very well what they are doing, is you people that know nothing and thank god you will never make an anime cause it will be the biggest shit ever.

Oh man things are really heating up now...

This episode did a really good job at building up Ousaka Megumu as a fierce competitor for Chihaya. They examined all facets of her like her drive but what I found was more interesting is how they sympathized her through her camaraderie with her Karuta club. Megumu isn't all that different from Mizusawa save for the fact she isn't the protagonist. What also played well into making Chihaya the underdog was everyone assuming that Megumu's team was going to face Fujisaki or Hokuo.

I really hope that Mizusawa doesn't lose so early into the "real" competition but I wouldn't be surprised since Chihaya doesn't have plot armor as evidenced from last season.


Personally i think the author might give the team the win so he can give us something since he probably plans to have Chihaya lose at the singles tournament. Queen is probably gonna be even stronger than last time. Everyone assuming that Shinopu would stay still seem naive to me.

I don't really know what people see in this Chihayafuru 2, seriously we already know the pattern of the matches, first Mizusawa loses then catches up again near the end of the match by some BS power up or realization. When is it that Desk-kun and Kana-chan can fight with B class players like it was nothing? This is getting so repetitive, we all know Mizusawa will win the match (I guess?), unlike in the first season where we couldn't predict what will happen. When is Chihaya that good, good enough to be faster than the one who almost got the West representative spot last year when Chihaya herself was troubled by fodders.. I prefer the 1st season over this, I am still watching just because of Arata, Shinobu, Sudo, and possibly Meijin

Slow episode.

I don't like 4-eyes girl. She can either lose now, or lose in the individual tournament against Chihaya.

This was a pretty good episode!
They really built up how much of a challenge Megumu will really be for Chihaya, and she seems to be taking it very seriously.
Thankfully, Oe seemed to calm her down and now the match between potential queens is just starting.

Anyway, I don't like Megumu and because of that, her story didn't resonate with me. Meh.

5/5

Circumstances change people, what was never more true!
Episode pleasant, the background of Megumu, is of secondary importance, but it was explained to give depth and to learn about her figure that was already in the cast of the first series, I like this interlude made ​​in the plot!
Narrative tense and intriguing, it seems that the Mizusawa is a goner, those cards won in the end, have been a joy.
Drawings and animations good, can not wait to see the next one. Go Kanade and Chihaya!
The coach of the Fujisaki is a piece of ice...Fear!

Why do they have to make every opponent so annoying?
When Megumu said that they should let them play the finals already I got so mad, damn it.

With Megumu we got yet another opponent with a great backround story.

Thought it was cute how much the coach of Akashi girls was moved by their growth.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Hmm...I'm not a fan of Megumu...I was also feeling meh about the photography trio fan club of hers. I love how Kana is always such a sensible, calming influence - so much more mature than her age belies.

That flashback of the three otakus was about the most stupid thing I've seen in this anime so far. Let me get to the karuta already!

Chihaya's holding her own against the West representative. Impressive. I think this Megumu girl is a bitch, ignoring the opponents right in front of her and going straight to Fujisaki. I get that she's an airhead but I honestly feel like her intention was to look down on Misuzawa.

I was expecting that someone who was one match away from playing against the queen would have been mentioned a lot more before this match. This seems like sign the opponents of mizusawa will lose. Don't know if Fujisaki will lose against chihaya though. Didn't really see much significance to Oe bringing up the name of a random card and that then firing up chihaya.

The whole aspect of the team offering themselves up is a nice one,but it can also backfire really hard on them. Interesting to see how they handle it.

Destroy her, Chihaya!

I love it so much when she can hear the sound of the card before it's even read. Every time that happens I hold my breath and get goosebumps ^^ need more of that!

I hope Mizusawa wins, but this show doesn't have plot armour at all. Please let them win!

Even though its said that Megumu is quite the airhead, its quite disrespectful towards the other semifinalists to want to immediately start the finals against Fujisaki team. I got to say despite Kana mostly playing in the background she has become quite the strong player.

The semifinal pitch Mizusawa against Akashi and Hukuo against Fujisaki. It is an intense battle to find out who will be the two finalists.
