Lmao I like how Taichi nonchalantly broke up with his girlfriend and continued about his business. Good shit. The side characters are showing progression in their own way too. It's refreshing to watch.

Tsutomu impressed me, keeping tracks of Chihaya's weaknesses and strengths like that.

I don't get how learning the meaning of the cards will help you. At the end of the day the game is about speed, reflexes, memory and listening.

This is hilarious.Comparing being with prostitutes as a romantic experience.Even as I love this anime so much I can only cringe at this explanation.I am watching dub btw. Desktomu was awesome with how much he deciphered his games.Certainly future looks bright for him.Overall a very good episode except for that prostitutes part.And people are so hyped about the romance when it is not even barely part of anime!!!Very strange as this anime is really all about Karuta only.I don't really think about love triangle as this anime has never given reason to think.

By learning the meaning of the poems, Chihaya is also altering her perception of the game. It's no longer just the speed that matters to her, but she also learns to appreciate the beauty of the poetry. This change of perspective eases the pressure impinged on her by her desire to win, and helps her appreciate karuta even more.

Damn, that was awesome of Desktomu-kun. He uses his skills for karuta, data miner! As said in the previous episode's comedy bits lol

Taichi is quite the playboi with how easy he broke up with his now ex-girlfriend there.
Interesting to see the many sides of Karuta highlighted from not only Chihaya's pure instinct but also Desktomu statistics and Kana's meaning behind the cards.

After training together at the end of last episode, this one feels like everybody improving individually rather than as a team. Chihaya trying to do some strategy after focusing on speed too much, Nishida and Taichi just playing more to have a better shot at getting to A, Tsutomu figuring out strategy ...against other club members? And Kana improving her posture, I guess. While the individual focus is nice to see, it doesn't feel that much like there's a proper team spirit right now. Like... why is Tsutomu not telling Taichi where his weak spots are? And both Taichi and Nishida going off to Kanazawa without telling the other also feels odd. Tsutomu also making charts that'll help against his club members but not that much against other people is also weird as he likely won't be facing them. Maybe Kana, but that would require a high degree of luck.

Either way though, I guess they'll come back together again soon enough - the tournament in Saitama, I guess. Looking forward to see how the individual improvements helped while finding something else to improve - because isn't that how it usually goes?

Damn Taichi broke up with his ex faster than Chihaya going for the Chihaya card.

It's really cool how Komano and Kana are such solid personal coaches for an A rank when they're still both beginners.

All the members of the kurata club hit some roadblock in their quest to be a better player at kurata. Chihaya needs to rely more on understanding the poems rather than just speed. Taichi and Nishida trying to win Class B tournaments to advance to Class A. Taichi just casually ends his relationship over the phone.
