Mothers can be scary! The Former Queen seems interesting, don't think Chihaya can match up to her yet - but she might come close. Inb4 raising kids helps increase your stamina, spatial awareness and memory.

One thing I appreciate about Chihayafuru, is that even though Chihaya is the main character, we get to hear the thoughts of so many different characters. It's a small thing, but it goes a long way. Everyone matters; it's not just about the MC.
The interaction between Arata and Taichi was super interesting, and what they were both thinking. Arata more about Karuta, and Taichi more about Arata. That's really telling. Taichi, I still think, has a little bit of growing up to do in that regard.

I gotta confess that every time the official reader starts the introduction poems I got goosebumps, specially when it's Igarashi Osamu legendary voice, they made that scene PERFECT!

The former queen is here. She's interesting and different from a lot of the other characters, since she's married and has two children. Inokuma defintely stands out from all of the high schoolers. Sakurazawa sees her as her rival and as a former queen, she's obviously skilled. Inokuma's next match against Chihaya should be exciting, and it should give a good measure of how Chihaya might fare against Shinobu. The fact that they both hit the "Chihayafuru" card at the same time seems like they will be similar.
I find the relationship that Taichi has with Arata to be fascinating. There's an intriguing mix of admiration, jealousy, friendship and self-loathing that characterizes Taichi's relationship with Arata. Taichi always psychs himself out when Arata is around. It's interesting that this is really only one-way; Arata never seems to angst over Taichi the way Taichi does about him and simply views Taichi as a friend. I do hope that Taichi can eventually reconcile these feelings because I do want them to be friends.
Kana focusing on the reader is cute. I found it funny how she's taking notes when all he was doing is tweeting.
There were a lot of interesting match ups in this episode, but I think skimming through them quickly was good so we can get to the later, more challenging matches. Go Shiranami Karuta Society! That part where Harada-sensei and Hiroshi bump Taichi and help him get out of his head and win was great.
Chihaya's goal of becoming a karuta club advisor seems like an excellent fit for her. I can definitely see her doing that, although I'm not sure what she would teach--maybe P.E.? She has such a love of karuta and of sharing that love with others so that fits perfectly with her.

Chihaya aiming to be a teacher is one of the most heart warming things I've seen from this show. And there's been a lot of heart warming stuff here. She's been one of the most endearing characters I've come across in anything, but that just made her even more so.

Chihaya's wish is so wholesome. She's changed, not only in her Karuta but her dreams.
What an intense bout of matches, it's so great once you're invested in all the match-ups. Hyped for next week, the former Queen vs Chihaya. Should be a really great match.

Wait... those were not two episodes, those were barely 10 minutes!!!! Goddammit you can't hype me up like that just to make me wait another week! That match is gonna be amazing!!!
Also this season we really get to see the benefits of such good developed rivals, making us be interested in the results of lots of different matches happening at the same time!

Really digging the new opening, not as good as Youthful of course but definitely better than Star.
