It has been quite some time since I sat on the edge of my chair while watching an anime. Chihayafuru S2 blasted off with the introduction of the lovely and memorable members from Mizusawa Karuta Club as well as some new faces. However, after coming so far, this episode nailed the development of one of the main characters perfectly!
For those Chihayafuru fans out there, it does not come as something new knowing that Taichi has been struggling to get into the A-class players list. However, as pointed out in this episode, he does not lack the skills, he simply lack the conviction that he is great! Towards the end, he was brought to full realisation by his teammates as well as his friends that he is not alone. The part where Chihaya offered her handkerchief to Taichi was simply magnificent, considering that Taichi has had an eye for Chihaya since he was young. That must have given him a huge boost in mental support.
As far as the character development goes, we can see that Oe is very particular about the rhythm of poems and Shimizu has found another new passion for Karuta if she ever wants to win the favour of Taichi. Chihayafuru was good but Chihayafuru is even better! I am looking forward to reviewing the subsequent episodes this anime has to offer! Take care guys.
