My favorite thing in Chihayafuru now is the sound shinobu makes when she takes a card, because shes too fast.

It's like a sword getting unsheathed.

The timing and sound design for the karuta matches is really great, and elevates them a lot. Everytime somebody takes a card before the syllable is even out is incredible.

An anime adaption where everyone involved clearly understands everything about the manga is a really great thing.

Chihayafuru reminds me visually of the anime about the tall girl and the short boy that everyone loves and i got like 8 eps into that and could not figure it out.

I got about halfway through Lovely Complex before life or other anime or whatever interfered. I was enjoying it and have always meant to get back to it, but it just hasn't happened.

It has good faces and good Kansai-ben.

If I remember correctly, the show cut out a lot of unnecessary drama that was present in the manga. The author's new series is also p good as well!

Taichi is awesome, though he takes a while to get there. If you watched Gatchaman CROWDS, he and Berg-Katze share a voice actor. It was really hard to unhear once I was aware of it.

Lovely Complex is a great lazy day kids cartoon for when you just want dumb teenager things but you kind of have to be into that to appreciate it.

this season was basically the first point where there was enough manga for it to work out, but Morio Asaka and crew are busy with My Love Story!! next season and My Love Story!! is going to own so that's okay.

Holding out hope for a third season is the only reason I haven't read the manga yet. I don't want to spoil the tension of not knowing how each match is going to turn out.

Same! I tried reading the manga, but it was missing so much compared to the anime. The soundtracks definitely enhance the entire experience.

My S Tier would also include the Intelligent Bear. The Unstoppable Attacker. Probably over 50 and still has a shot at making Meijin. The only man that Chihaya tries to give Valentine's Day chocolates to every year (even though he refuses them). Harada sensei.

I watched Chihayafuru up to episode 8 before my Crunchyroll membership expired. I'll probably start again once I re-buy my premium membership because I'm weak willed (the ads just completely gently caress up the player for me for some reason)
