| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- To me, Makoto seems to be a hothead in this episode. >Fighto! Nice. Obligatory Shinobu picture:  Damn, I can't wait to see her in an actual match in this season. It's inevitable and I can see it coming soon. The question is who but I'm guessing it'll be against Arata-kun. |

| AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I really hoped to see at least ONE card played this episode!!! ; ____ ; //SOBBING but omfg... I bet next episode we will see like 10 mintures of fujisaki flashback and we STILL have to wait 3 more weeks to really find out who wins T_T Mod Edit: Please do not stretch the forum layout. |

| I think Chihaya will end up winning this one since she lost to Megumu last time. Taichi... well, I want him to win so bad, but I really just don't know. It may be that Chihaya/Taichi will win and everyone else loses. However, I don't think Mizusawa will win the final. I don't like Shinobu. What an elitist bitch. Though I'm glad she ended up going to the team final anyways. |
| I think Taichi's will be the match to watch for sure. No way Chihaya loses, though I'm sure Rion will prove to be a good opponent in the future. And I think Nishida will win, he's way over due for a win. This match could be a huge breaking point for Taichi, I can't wait. |
 |
| AH this episode was way too short... Man, Shinobu is way too cute, with her weird underwear. Everyone one team Fujisaki is so weird, it makes it that much more enjoyable to watch. Ehehe....Eromu... I think I'm looking forward to Taichi's development in this match, even more than Chihaya's. Go Mizusawa! |
 |
| Blehhh Why must this episode be about establishing Fujisaki's personalities and skill? At this point in the tournament, the show is starting to get a little predictable. While the show is still being executed very well, a mix up of the structure would be appreciated. This next round will probably be 2 episodes making another 3 episode match(arc). Interested to see the results of each individuals matches. I'm predicting Tsukuba and Nishida will win their rounds but can't even fathom who could win Taichi's, Chihaya's, and Komano's matches Rion = Kuroko? : P |
| Wow that Fujisaki otaku XD lol and the perv >.> fantasizing about Kana and his teachers omg Really disappointed we didn't see any playing. Taichi better win!!! GAAAHHH!!! |
 |
| Countdown begins for availability of Snowmaru themed undergarments.... The match has yet to start and already the tension is wound up to a high level. Chihaya may have a tough match as the granddaughter of the reader should have an advantage in knowing her voice and cadence. Meanwhile Shinobu displays that there is at least one person more oblivious than Chihaya to all things not related to competitive caruta. Was that a touch of jealousy I detected in the eyes of Snowmaru's number one fan? |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Glad to see Shinobu watching the match. Sad it ended there, was hoping to see reaction of the players who are playing. |
| Arg... It's so painful getting left with these cliffhangers after I got to marathon the first season. This is so amazing but damn, I don't think I've wanted another episode so badly for a while. Really looking forward to next episode too and Shinobu's reaction to the group tournament. |
 |
| Kana's great, thinking so much about the rest of the people around her. I really do hope that one day she gets to be a reader, since it does feel like that's where her passion rests. |
 |
| Omg, it's Mitsuki Saiga who's voicing Makoto! I missed her and Megumi Hayashibara! I really think that I'm loving Chihayafuru even more when so many talented seiyuu join the cast! I wonder who is the seiyuu of the veteran reader! AND OMG SHIBOBU!! |

| Fujisaki players are damn weird lol. Anyway, I assume the match will be awesome. Can't wait for next week. |
 |
| Snowmaru bloomers and the Fujisaki player who can size cups at a distance of 20 paces by sight alone, LOL! Love this show! If the pace is slow, that's OK by me as long as they promise to make season 3! |
| Chihaya/Taichi will win and everyone else gonna loses |
 |
| OMG the tension in this episode. I was hoping Arata to see Chihaya/Taichi's final match and then he couldn't do it T__T.Damn Shinobu is like a goddess. She was able to slip by those guys like nothing. I hope this final match will change her point of view about team matches. The Fujisaki team seems similar to Mizusawa in some way. That guy who is against Tsukaba has a similar personality. Both Nishida and his opponent are out for revenge in their own way. Damn I hope Taichi wins against that Arata clone/pervert. Komano's opponent is that guy who helped him out. Hmm Rion may prove a challenge for Chihaya since her Grandmother is reading the cards. I think I also felt what Kana fetl when she read the card 0__0. Go Mizusawa XD |
| I AM ALWAYS SO FUCKING HYPED WITH THIS SHOW!!!!! |
| Kimono girl tried her best to the extend that she hurt her hand. Too bad he didn't notice about that, only being tired. lol @ he still thinks that Arata is cheering for enemy school instead of Chihaya's. Oh, that pink girl was extra for upcoming match. I just realized that that guy is voiced by Saiga-san. lol @ the queen, so tsundere. I cannot wait for the next ep. with the next match... or is it going to be recap (I saw the comment while watching the raw)? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Mizusawa... better win! Ahhh looking forward to the matches. Next week, come faster!! |
| I'm a bit worried about Taichi. I hope he doesn't get too overwhelmed by the pressure of facing a captain. It doesn't help that that his opponent looks a lot like Arata. >.< Can't wait for next week!!! |
 |
| -That blonde third year in Fujisaki was so goddamn irritating. -The sad realization that this next match will probably take several episodes to air and that we won't get to see Arata playing anytime soon. ;_; |
  |
| THAT. CLIFFHANGER. WHYYYYYYY hng ;A; The show, man. Geez, every week I'm on the egde of my seat. |

Yepp. My thoughts exactly. Fortunately Fujisaki has more amusing and interesting characters than the previous opponents (gotta love the perverted one :D). But I hope they will come up with a different structure for the individual tournament.... |
| CLIFFHANGER!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hybridbloodszak said: Unfortunately, that's how sports manga are. Most of the twists occur within the fight, not outside it. (Well, there was a twist during Chihaya's first year where she missed the whole tournament due to fainting early on. That's the best Chihayafuru has in messing with the "structure" of the tournament)At this point in the tournament, the show is starting to get a little predictable. While the show is still being executed very well, a mix up of the structure would be appreciated. This next round will probably be 2 episodes making another 3 episode match(arc). I predict that they will win the finals and play miserably on the individual matches. |
| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| OMG! I LOVE THIS ANIME TO A LEVEL I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS ANIME! Outstanding line-up for the final! +1 Taichi's opportunity to change! +1 Awesome Fujisaki boys! +1 And Shinobu-chan no shitagi! That was the best underwear moment in the history of anime! +10 5/5 for this episode! This season has been so amazing, I suddenly realized we are past 3/5th of the entire run already and it seems it just started a couple of weeks back! T_T |

RockerXD said: I AM ALWAYS SO FUCKING HYPED WITH THIS SHOW!!!!! Tell me about it! I totally agree! And in the end shinobu decided to watch the final match :D GO mizuzawa!! |
 |
| I definitely did not expect the national tournament to take up the majority of the second season when it first began. It's structurally different from the first season in terms of story and how the characters are being developed, but it still works quite well. This was a great buildup episode.. Nothing significant actually happened, but I loved all the little touches, everything from Komano's straight-faced jab at his Fujisaki opponent to Shinobu's subtly intensifying interest in team matches. I'm really excited to see how Chihaya and Taichi's matches go now that this episode has given us some interesting setups. In retrospect, the story has been going glacially slow when I think about the events that have actually happened over the course of the past fifteen episodes, but somehow it still all works, especially with all the little details in each episode and the creative methods of character development. |
| It feels too short as always and still amazing as ever.Damn i can't wait for next week and ya shinobu is watching |
| Man, tbh I really wish the individual tournament would start now, the long awaiting reunion between Chi, Arata, Shinobu etc.,.. I've waited long enough, it's starting to get on my nerves! |
| So Kana is...u know what i mean... That was awesome from start to end..The other team,Fujisaki I think has very interesting people.. |
 |
| Kyoko-tan! :D Srsly, if she were a real person I'd definitely want to meet her. Not being sexist here but I had a hard time getting used to male readers in the previous episodes. |
| I LOVE THIS SHOW! WAKAMIYA SHINOBU!<333 |
| I'm hoping Taichi wins his match, and same for Porky!!! They honestly need to win so their self esteem is up for the indivdual tourney!!! and i can't wait to see Ayase's match!!! >____< her oppoenent seems like she's GOOD!! :O WHY MUST CHIHAYAFRIDAY ONLY BE FRIDAYS!!!!!! :'( |
| Now i'm certain, Taichi x Shinobu S2 S2 in the end, the lovely pair of rejected. Now Chihaya calls Komano a "master". Wow |
 |
| Up next week: Chihaya has a crisis of confidence, then regains confidence and kicks butt. Then she has another crisis of confidence, then regains confidence and kicks butt. And so on. :( ): |
| Cherish what you know is true |
| I can't believe Shinobu actually showed up. I'm starting to like her more and more, she's such an interesting character. I think I want her to end up with Arata. Also, Taichi stop thinking about Arata or you'll lose. I hope he pulls himself together. That girl Rion is interesting. I can't wait to see how good she is, cause I'm hoping she's really good. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Great episode, this is one of the few shows I don't mind that they draw things out. Fujisaki team made for one of the funniest episodes of the season. This series really has some great characters. |
| Grahhhh, the pace of this show is KILLING me! T_T Wow poor Kana ... that looks really painful D: They've got a certified reader doing the match too! Hopefully that'll be good for Chihaya ... there's only one 1-syllable card, so it's gonna be tough for her D: Looks like Fujisaki's coach has a LOT of strategy going on ... taking out a third-year and putting in a second-year? She's the granddaughter of the reader too ... this will be an interesting matchup for sure! Komano is really a key part of the team, guessing their order like that ... good on Taichi for wanting to play their captain too! Looks like he noticed him still being in Class B though ... D: Shinobu showed up! :O Surprising ... although I guess since Arata can't go ...? :P Interesting to see all the Fujisaki players ... they seem like an interesting bunch. Stretching exercises?! XD Urgh, I can't decide whether I like having things stretched out or not ... is there not enough material or something?! >_< |
| NOOOO ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!!!! ;-; GO TAICHI! GO CHIHAYA! GO MIZUSAWA! Nerdy_Old_Taco said: Fujisaki team made for one of the funniest episodes of the season. This series really has some great characters. +1 I love how the show is so suspenseful and dramatic but is so funny at the same time! |
| that's fox eyes... great episode.... funny when the oldman inform false about arata cheering wrong team.. lol |

Stephianz said: Oe senpai having her fan girl moment- too cute and Shinobu changing like nothing- love that ice queen. ^_^ Made me think of the episode that Haruhi changed in front of the guys, and Kyon pointing out that that she equated her male classmates with potatoes. On another note, I'm hoping that they don't repeat what they did last year with episode 16. That would be rage-inducing. |
| Their opponents are so fitting! you can't end an episode better. |
