While I am holding out hope for a season 3 and haven't jumped over to the manga yet, my patience isn't infinite and if an announcement doesn't pop up sometime soon after Ore Monogatari!! is done I'll start reading it.

I voted for Arata :goleft:

It takes a year or more before the first episode to plan and stuff, so don't expect anything before summer 2016.

I didn't notice Shinobu on the poll when I voted for Kana. Beef Waifu, can you change my vote for Kana to a vote for Shinobu?

This show is legitimately one of my favorite Anime of the past few years.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
Voted Shinobu obv but really you can't lose with most of these characters. The poll makes the decisions seem more lopsided than they are. At least the ranking looks correct based on average opinions (Kana > Chihaya > Shinobu > Taichi).

EDIT:

Why was there no option for obese Shinobu? This poll is so thin privilege
When you truly love someone you love all of them. Fat Shinobu is Shinobu.

I'm finding that I really like the card game aspects of the show. Like, I find the strategies and mind games to be absolutely riveting stuff.

You guys are the worst how could you not vote for Taichi.

Kana gets priority. But yeah, I totally would have chosen Taichi as well.

Out of all the characters, to me he has some of the most satisfactory development. I was cheering so hard when he finally won the B-rank tournament. Good for you, Taichi. :unsmith:

Yeah! Chihaya tries to blow through everything on sheer reflex, but the show actually gets into how that both helps her and hurts her depending on the situation. its really cool stuff.

And Taichi is pro at yomi (the japanese word for reading the mind of your opponent)

Chihayafuru amazes me as being at Akagi levels of detail of both psychoanalysis and gameplay.

Don't you guys forget Sakura-chan :mad:


See that thing Desktomu's doing with his hands? There's at least one other time a character does that and it's hilarious. I only wish I could remember who and when so I could gif that as well.




And remember: a vote for Kana-chan the only way to go.

The best thing about Chihayafuru was that this woman only recurred once(?)

The episode she was in was great, an important step in Chihaya's development, but that voice. Ughhhhhhhh.

Since we've got new folks in the thread, I'll put it behind spoilers: The captain of the Fujisaki team that Taichi played against in the Team Finals. He does it a couple times, but it's introduced in episode 15 of the second season.

Just got done with season 2 again. :cool:

e: It would refer to a top that spins smoothly. It almost looks like it's completely still, focusing its power in perfect balance, with no lean in any direction... Strong enough to repel anything that makes contact, while projecting stability. A decorative word used for gods.

Shinobu and Chihaya developing an understanding through anime snowmen is adorable.

anime is not good
I watched both seasons because everyone in the chat thread was talking about it and absolutely loved it. I suggested it to a friend, and he watches the first two episodes and asks me when they'll stop going on about boring poetry games, so now I think I have to sever.

I've watched through this show three times now I think? The only anime I've watched more than this one is Azumanga Daioh. Though I'm pretty sure I like it more than Azumanga.

Also people should watch some real Karuta games. poo poo is insane.

I watched last years Queen match and it was such a massive curb stomp, I felt sorry for the other girl. First match was ok but the second one was so one sided you'd think the woman just broke down mentally.

Is there a way to watch them properly in the West? It'd be nice to watch the official games but with translated commentary.

e: Oh, I wonder if they use highspeed camera's to film them?

There isn't any hard evidence but the manga has only recently gotten to a point where there's enough material for a season 3. So if they're going to do one, we'll find out over the next year.
