So many graceful moments~

Chihaya what are you looking @? lol. Oh I see Shinobu is still there. I'm still curious when she will be competing but seems like she's somewhat interested in the match now I guess. She looks so cutee as a kid though:


Those eyes at the end from Taichi also gave me shivers. Time to get serious.

Damn this arc with Fujisaki has been especially painful with 1 ep to introduce the team, a recap, and now what seems 3 episodes for the actual match

Misuzawa's fate rests on all the upper class-men now... Fight-o!!

Random Thoughts
- Really random One Piece reference haha?
- F-Cup Sakurazawa sensei just hit me how big those really are. She downplays them at least O.O

This was soo good!! So nerve wrecking!!!
I started crying!!! The fact that Chihaya wont be able to compete in the individual tournament, she really does have bad luck.

I understand why Shinobu is the way that she is. But now it seems that she sees team matches in a different light.

I don't think i'll be able to wait a week!!!

MY VOICE Q___Q

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MIZUWAZA PLEASEEEE WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Q________________Q

I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! //SCREAMINGGGGGGGG


On another hand... wait, after this match is over, do we finally have a winner and we can finally move onto the individual matches?? Are there two school winners or is there going to be one last match between the two schools??? O . o (I pray to god thought we are done with the team matches T-T)

The way they've paced this show drives me nuts...to say the least.

I totally don't see Misuzawa getting those three wins, unless Porky somehow stops sucking.

Damn, those cliffhangers are brutal to say the least. I'm confident they'll pull it off however. I predict Chihaya will finish first (since she's been pretty much killing Rion ever since she's picked up on the reader's voice) then Nishida and Taichi will finish the charge with an amazing comeback.

So time for some Arata spotlight please.

The 3 I expected to win are the ones that are still in the game. I'm pretty sure they'll win this nxt ep.

But damn this is tooo intense!!! And Shinobu's reactions are awesome.

NOOOOOO Why is Chihaya's injury so serious?!?!?!?! She won't be participating in the individuals?!?!?!

Shinobu is a little gem. I'm glad she's getting more screen time. Is it wrong that she's the real star of the show for me?

Plus recap at the beginning? That's not something usual.

lol~ @ Taichi's opponent as always, but Taichi now compares him with Arata, though he still don't have luck. Miyu-Miyu's character is calmed down to steal at least what he practiced to get. IT turns out that onee character likes beautiful thing, including the red hair girl.

The audiences can affect competitors' feelings in different way (lol~). Queen is somehow affected.

So the teacher was expecting her to win early, but that phase is already over. Taichi wanting the rest of three to win.

I hope Chihaya wins against Rion ><
She never wins against the really powerful opponents and while that keeps her from being predominantly powerful, it also never leaves me satisfied!
I think she should definitely win because she deserves one and Rion still has a long way to go.

Chihaya has a good chance of winning, even Sakurazawa-Sensei brought up how Rion needed to take advantage of her..well advantage with more multi syllabe cards in play, now with mainly one syllable cards they're basically on even playing fields since Chihaya's hearing and game sense is definitely better(without obaa-san advantage), therefore she'll be able to narrow down the first syllable just as quick as Rion. Expect some ridiculously quick reactions next week, I could see a card Chihaya/Rion just hit darting into the wall before the other players make contact with the tatami.

So guess it'll come down to how much the arm/hand/finger pain takes away from her swing..Curious about how bad it is, clearly not just jammed. Imagine how devastated she'd be if there turned out to be nerve damage..

I kinda see Nikuman pulling this one out from the Excavator, but Taichi..down two cards to seven, man with his shitty luck that's gonna be really tough..I have a bad feeling it comes down to him and Eromu's match and he'll nearly come back and lose it..it'll be his toughest lost yet if it happens.

Next week should be super tense.

I actually think that made it better. Might just be my opinion though.
I feel it's awesome that other anime would actually speak of another anime.

And this is coming from a One Piece fanatic.

Ew. That killed Gear Second. OTL""

Otherwise, lovely episode as always.

Puts me on edge and I really want to watch the next episode.

Is it just me, or is this anime getting REALLY sparkly/ fluttery/ windy emphasis?

GO TAICHI. YOU GUYS JUST GOT TO WIN.
Stop torturing Taichi. His luck is so freakin' bad - let him win!! >___<

They need to meet Arata again...!

Every episode never fails when it comes to intensity! It's always intense!!! ...except for the recap!

What's with Shinobu's smile near the end? Is she seeing the joy and wonders of team competitions?
