I just want to post a million awesome parts of the manga, but I'll resist. If the direction of the gags in Chihahfuru are any indication, this is going to be a perfect adaptation.

Hahaha, poo poo. Takeo would fit so well in a karuta match. "He gets cooler!?"

He makes other shoujo male leads seem so crappy in comparison.

This forever

The first episode owns bones, can't wait for more of Takeo's deeds to be animated.

In true form of breaking the shoujo framework backwards, I want the main couple to not succeed! Well, there's no way I could really hate the Takeo-Yamato goof troop.

Show rules so much. Although seeing that judo match made me really want more hot-blooded karuta animes.

Also, this contained one of my favorite panels from the manga, so it's an A++ episode.

Jeez. I feel embarrassed for the writers on other shoujo stories now. That's how you do drama in a romance story.

The birthday wish scene was adorable. :3:

Next ep: Oh man, one of the best chapters. Can't wait for the scenes with Yamato's friends.

Eh, Oda's certainly not a great guy, as we see from his college experience. But I'd hardly call him a weird creepy raper guy. I guess the bar has been set so high already for awesome characters that he is a bit disappointingly "that shoujo guy."

Is it possible to be a better bro than Suna is?


Though I guess in terms of actual anime bros, and not anime bros in a game within the anime, Suna is the king.

Ai is such a good foil to Suna. Loved the Autumn gag. That's So Takeo™!

I hope Saijou comes back soon, I want more awkward not-double date action with Suna.

If only Mizutama Honey Boy could be that good (It's still good, though).

Takeo's dad gets transferred to another city, so he and Yamato learn karuta from Suna and all promise to meet each other in the national championship someday.

This show was so fuckin good. I hate a lot of shoujo tropes, but for some reason I can't get enough of the "calling by first name and blushing" thing so this episode sealed the deal for AOTY (not that it was much of a contest before). I liked pretty much every character which is almost impossible in shoujo stories (except Oda still being shown as a stalker-ish pestering guy at the end, c'mon bro). A solid recommendation for anime newcomers everywhere, right alongside Cowboy Bebop.

Now make Chihayafuru 3 please.
