Chihayafuru – 06
Oe is a great addition to the group. Compared to Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata, she’s certainly different but in her own good way. She’s enjoyable to watch and her unique perspective on karuta will serve as both a history lesson on the game and a sort of toning down of the competitive atmosphere of karuta so far. We’ll just have to see how successful she gets in the long run since apparently she doesn’t even know the basics to the game. I hope she won’t end up as a support type of character cheering on from the side lines. Here’s wishing that her greater interests in the history of karuta and wearing fancy kimonos won’t get in the way of her mastering the game.

This episode was gold, cheesy at the end, but none the less gold. Okay, okay, watching Taichi with his jealousy issue throughout the episode with his not so subtle actions to another guy who isn’t even remotely interested is so painful to watch. Someone slap him, he’s not here for the karuta! Didn’t like him as a jealous brat, sadly my opinion of him has not changed after the time skip. I see through your crappy intentions Taichi, forming the karuta club is only a means of sticking close to Chihaya. Please tone it down with the high school drama, pretty please!
