We need to hype Chihayafuru damn it
なにわずにさくやこのはなふゆごもりいまをはるべとさくやこのはな That's the only one I remember because they do it every time.Anyway, Chihayafuru? What year is this?
>>282023090
i watched like six episodes and dipped as soon as i googled it and saw that the author supported BLM
shinobu a best.
Hyping a dead horse.
>>282024545Yes. Taichi should have at least tried to get closer, after they met at the tv studio.
>>282022970Has Arata definitively blown Taichi the fuck out yet?
New season when?
i missed it
>>282024545I liked when she got fat.
>more than 5 years since season 3 endedit's over
>>282022970I wish someone was translating the new manga.
>>282024545Correct.
>>282022970The pacing goes to shit after the point where s2 ends. Manga really is anti good storytelling format.
>>282022970The ending sucked. Taichi should have been Meijin damn it.
>>282029985Nah, Taichi should have found a good girl (so, not Chihaya) and find his reason to live. He was never a Karuta nutjob, and lived all his life pleasing mommy (nice milf, by the way) and literally orbiting (I don't like using this word, but alas, that's what he did) around Chihaya and the Karuta world. Finally he snaps and distance himself and then? He goes back there, but with a new motivation and by his own willingness. Suetsugu-sensei, please...
is the live action series any good?
>Anime is an advertisement for the manga>Anime waits for the manga to end for more content>Manga ends>No reason to advertise anymore
>>282022970I'm still waiting for season 3 OST…
>>282030292just wanted a formal Arata rejection, not some after story spin on twitter
>>282032599>some after story spin on twitterWhat's this?
>>282032789author posted on twitter after the series finished that this sequence was a rejection but she ended up deleting it
>>282022970So who won the chihayab owl in the manga?
>>282036858The hot, rich guy after he stopped being an orbiter.
>>282036858Taichi, not even kidding
>>282037053>pretending like everyone didn't see it coming from a mile awayLMAO @ aratakeks
>>282037044>>282037053Holy based. Picked back up.
>>282023176Sounds like they're built for big black clitty
>>282037322I didn't, and I was a taichifag
>>282037322>I got it right in a 50% chance guess, I'll just pretend it was obviousTo be fair, it came out of nowhere and he won because of the fangir... I mean, because he used some nasty manipulation techniques on Chihaya on the last chapters.
>>282038792>>282040614Come the fuck on. There was only ever completion if you had shipper goggles on or you were judging the options with male sensibilities. The fagboy was hot af with a terminal oneitis (absolutely massive plus on hot guy), comes from a wealthy family, will have a high status occupation in the future, massively sacrificed himself for the bitch and proved he was chad enough to put his foot down when the time to make the bitch his came. The four-eyes nerd on the other hand "shared the bitches passion" and was a bit better at the retarded card slapping. Pathetic honestly. If he needed "fixing" and the author was into that (which she clearly isn't) then it could have gone either way but as things stood, the winner was obvious.
>>282041439From your comments, it's obvious you've stopped watching around season 1 or barely remembers anything past that such as Chihaya admitting she is in love with Arata and the whole manga being Taichi ups and downs.I mean, from the average shoujo manga standpoint you are absolute correct, but the author was signalling she wanted it to be different or at least pretend that would be the case.
>>282041802I should have seen it coming when the mangaka retconned Taichi bullying Arata when they were kids . It wasn't even something that needed to be addressed, but she changed it anyways. If nothing else, admitting there was a forgotten loose end would have been better than trying to gaslight readers into thinking this was a rejection.
>>282022970I'm not going to read this thread because I didn't finish the whole manga yet(although I think I know what happens, and am probably semi-spoiled already). But yes. Chihayafuru is S tier for me.Chihaya
>>282031919This sucksI was tempted to download the anime because of this thread, nevermind now
>>282022970new season never m(T-T)m
>>282044461It's still three 24 episode seasons. Worth a watch even if the chance of a new season is low.
I just looked up Chihayafuru's plot.Wait you mean to say that people play Karuta professionally?
>>282046268>professionallyEverybody in the series has a job that is outside of karuta, anon. But you mean professionally as in a sport with official associations, then yes.
I fucking hate Taichi. That is all.
reposting anon's pictures from a trip. i loved this series so much. i wish we got more good "sports(??)" (competitive?) series like this
>>2820259512048
>>282047632Shinobu is such a good character
>>282049110I loved their friendship
>>282041802>spoiler Never happened. MC was never unambiguously into either. Her monologues were always bait so shippers could read into them like you did.
The ending was trash.
>>282041439Glasses was her main obsession and driver for half of the series and also the reason she turned down the prettier boy initially. Granted, there's no way the author wasn't going to hook up the female lead with a love interest that can provide absolutely everything. Shoujo readers self insert as the lead after all. But claiming it was obvious from the story alone is untrue.
I think the author failed to convince me that Chihaya was THAT good at Karuta. I never thought she was better than Shinobu or on par. She won because HAIYAI and main character. It was a rather unsatisfying final match. Then I LOVE TAICHI was just lol.
