| Why is this show so epic D: Oh my god Taichi memorizing all the poems O_O He's kinda like Chihaya in that he only relies on that to get him through ... nice of Nishida to tell him to try to change haha XD Ririka was pretty cute o_O Chihaya got to be like Sakura and win not only using her speed ... plus it was nice of her at the end when she heard everyone talking about her :P Oh, Arata at the end and that guy who played for the Meijin title ... well, we finally know his name now :P Oh and Taichi and thinking of what to text him ... ahahaha XD Gosh, you're so precious ;) More ED revealed, although the transition was kind of odd IMO. Please, please let there be a second season D: |
| I marathoned this anime this weekend, all the way from episode 6 to present lol. Have to say this thing is the bomb! I'm loving every moment of it. It looks like Taichi and Arata have a score to settle in the finals (probably to win Chihaya over XD). I'm rooting for Taichi though, just because he's had the most character development out of everyone in this show. |
 |
| Love Sudo-san >< ! When Nishida saw that he was matched w/him Sudo walks past like "burn". Wasn't all that funny but I lololol'd Shubidubi said: Also, Arata's friend Murao, sounded like he was singing to him with a T-Pain voice during the flashback. XD I had to listen to it again. Murao was auto tuned. |
| I can't wait to see Taichi vs Arata |
 |
| chocolate(?) Ririka was CUTE! :) Based on how this story is going, I REALLY hope there's a second season - otherwise, I'm really thinking it'll feel rushed. |
  |
| He remembers all 100 poems!!!!! My reaction was pretty much the same as theirs (sans oblivious Chihaya! :P)!!! Ririka was too cute and love the Taichi/Arata 'rivalry'!! :) |
 |
| Whew, for a second there I thought Chihaya was going to lose to an old lady AND a little girl. Now that would have been embarrassing. |
 |
| A bald Chihaya would be funny. |
| Im loving the little bits of comedy! Such a feel good episode |
 |
| Is pretty epic, I have to say. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Sudden Realization: Arata has a pink phone! :D |
| ^--- My thoughts exactly. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| great episode :D i actually thought Taichi was spewing nonsense since the subs were being weird out of nowhere. pretty surprising he memorized those hundred poems O__O this is probably my favorite hairstyle of Chihaya!!! Kana Chan is lovely as always! damn that sudo guy corrupting Chihaya's mind!! also you lost in the first round buddy, so go bald now!!!!!!! Chihiaya liking Ririka!! it's also funny since Ririka is like Chihaya back then, relying on speed. she can definitely relate to her and her frustration. and lol Chihaya scream "CHOCOLATE!!" out of nowhere. i really hate stupid people putting some high expectations on a 6th grader. Arata get's ready for the next step, Taichi also fired up and is not willing to give up! |
| ^You put in so much effort into each of your comments^ Great episode as always. |

Damn can I cry now???? This episode is so beautifully done, this anime is so awesome! Chihayafuru for life! |

| I don't know why, but I just seem to love how she stuffs her face with chocolate. It's golden. |
| If she loses she has to shave her head xD The match with the little girl was quite interesting and rather cute :p The ending was interesting as well. |
 |
| 5/5 Nice episode, I'm not weigh succession of meetings, even heats. What a cute Ririka, excellent plot and narrative that exposes flawlessly. Do not miss anything! : D Great dialogues of Master Harada and the unpredictability of the facts narrated. Everything always turns around at all and never for a single character. Satisfied! * _ * |

| CHOCOLATE!!! |

| I'm surprised no one said anything about Chihaya's light blue shirt that had Karuta misspelled with a C instead of a K in front. Ririka mist have thought Chihaya was playing her best, but Chihaya stepped it up to the next level and then she dominates Ririka. Chihaya will need more than just speed to beat Shinobu. She's well balanced in terms of accuracy, speed, vision, patience, stamina, etc. Taichi seems like he's getting more and more depressed. LOL at Chihaya betting her head bald. |
 |
| I find myself wanting to watch more and more of this. It's just too good |

Yea, definitely sounded like Chopper at one point lol. |
 |
| Last episodes, I noticed that Chihaya said often that she love Karuta,... but never Taichi. Do he love Karuta at least? Or he do it only to be with Chihaya :s ---- Taichi have a dark expression in end... I'm worried :( |

| well chihaya is progressing...but that crazy bet though... I hope chihaya do not lose..... |
 |
| Sudou strikes again! Nishida's response to facing the sadist was priceless. |
| Wow, if Rika keeps playing and practicing she will be Queen for sure. |
 |
| I also had to hold back the tears, awesome episode, execution and directing were superb. I was really fond of Riritas backround and her personal bound with karuta, felt bad when she lost, but I was also glad that Chihaya could put her experience to use. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Taichi has an insanely good memory! Chihaya almost had to shave her head lol |
 |
| does taichi have a world breaking iq or something, how does he memorize everything so good |
| These episodes are getting so repetitive |
 |
| CHOCOLATE!! ;D Damn, Chihaya has to win, there is no doubt. Betting her beautiful hair was very dumb, lol. @Dagvi , it depends on one's taste I think. To me those episodes are actually not repetitive. Sure, we have karuta in each one, but it's understandable since it is a sport anime about karuta. But on the other hand we have a lot of stories told about our main characters, so I don't feel as those episodes are repetitive. |
| Such a nice mum, she has! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Damn look at Taichi, reading the cards from memory. Chihaya did really good in her first match against that young girl. About damn time though. Her recent matches have been pretty bad so it's nice seeing her win again. |
| Was I the only one tearing up 'cause of the little girl? She was so adorable/cute. I'm glad the mom is supportive of whatever makes her girl happy. hnghhh Taichiiiiiii is growing on me. My heart can't take it! |
| And Chihaya used his speed again. Good episode |
| That little girl was cute! And I felt so bad seeing her about to cry after Chihaya unleashed her speed. Great to see that in the end they bonded a bit. She's a lot like Chihaya, and people can be so mean. And also, I'm loving the Fukui dialect. I just realised the last few episodes how different the pitch patterns are. It's so interesting. |
 |
| Really adorable to see a child prodigy like Ririka play even though its a bit sad for her that some people talked smack about her losing, I'm glad Chihaya was there to shout CHOCOLATE! Also did Arata just pull his pink phone from his ass there at the end? |
 |
| I liked the child prodigy and her mom. I’m glad that they weren’t made bad guys. And were genuine nice people. |
| Nice that Chihaya can control herself and analyse the situation more calmly now. Good to have a wide range of arsenal to attack with |
 |
| Dr. Harada really just called Kana "forehead" lmao Chihaya being allowed to use her speed mid match was more or less the equivalent to a mid fight transformation or powerup from a battle shounen. The idea of giving her even more stuff to work with is kinda hype. |
| the fuck is wrong with spectators in sports anime lol. Ririka is probably like 12 or 13, and they're badmouthing her with every opportunity they get... Fucking npcs man... Also, somebody give Chihaya Arata's number already. She's practically obsessed with him at this point, so she should be able to contact him whenever she wants. |
