CHIHAYAFURUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

OMG I LOVE CHIHAYAFURU!!
At first I thought it was some typical soppy romance shojo anime. But omg I'm glad I picked the series up and found out I was wrong :love:
It's so awesomeeeee!! It's main focus is not on the romance, and rather on the sport/card game "Competitive Karuta". One good thing about this Karuta is it doesn't have many techincal terms and the rules are easy to understand. So it isn't very confusing. The battles are intense too XD (Tho the outcome can sometimes be predicted easily.. Since it's a manga lol.) I can't say that it is realistic tho.. But acceptable. Hahaha
The characters are very likable too. The main character Chihaya is a relatively unique shoujo lead.. She is attractive but is is always known to be a "beauty in vain" cuz the moment she speaks or does something people don't find her pretty anymore lol. She is also a very strong Karuta player. I like how it doesn't focus from her becoming from a noob to a expert, that would be too long and boring. I like how she is already good and yet still tries to improve. Well she cries alot tho.. But I can accept that cuz she cries at really emotional moments and not just cry for no reason.
The 2 male leads are superrr cute too XD Arata, the main dude in glasses, has a very cute Fukui accent XD I like how he calls the other characters' names. "Chihaya" "Taichi" XD~~ Cute haha.. The way Chihaya and Arata like each other is really cute.. It's not too "cheesy" or "overpowering" such that I will feel the chills or get goosebumps. It's so cute, pure and innocent. They genuinely like each other (and Karuta and Karuta and Karuta LOL).. He is also very strong. People critic his lack of character arc but he doesn't get much screen time in the 1st place, does he? Lols.. His character is kinda solid right from the start. But at the later chapters there seem to be some kind of change... So maybe we get more of Arata :D [BTWWWWW I SHIP ARATA X CHIHAYA FOREVERRR AND ARATA IS MY FAV CHAR AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
And Taichi. Initially I think he is character with just his "good looks, good results, just damn good at everything" that gets him going .. But in season 2 I start to like him a little more as they show his more inner emotions. Besides the "good looks, good results, just damn good at everything" part of him, I think his character is more realistic than the other 2 leads. He isn't as "pure" as the other 2.. And real humans are never pure anyway. They always have bad thoughts inside them, the only difference is whether they allow them to cloud your decisions. Taichi has shown to have done some cunning things.. But I can't say they are very evil.. Sometimes human need to do some slightly bad things to simply defend themselves from bad things too. I also think he is realistic too cuz he is conflicted within him. He wants to give up.. But he doesn't want to give up too. He gives his best, but still fail to succeed, because he thinks too much.
The side characters have alot of personality too. It feels like they are human too and not just "extra A and B" of a movie. They all have their emotions, strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes. I like how all of these are establised and yet it doesn't feel like the story has dragged because of "extra content". And Shinobu the Queen is so beautiful haha.. And cute with her weird taste of fashion XD They show that even the Queen is just a human.. And not God (Like some "bosses" of many anime, they are like.. Flawless? It's just weird.. they are strong cuz they are strong.. Nth else Lol.) Even side side characters like Hyoro and Sudo the "do S" feels human.
The art is good too! I like the character designs. They all look very different, and not just characters with the same body just different hair and face and height. The anime OST is freaking nice too.. Some gives the "Miyazaki movie" OST feel and I think one of them gives the American 3D animated movie feel. Awesome man.. After I finish S2 I will go read the manga.. And hope there will be S3 of this awesome anime.. It has also inspired me to memorise the Kimariji of the 100 Karuta poems.. But my memory sucks.. I only memorised 12 and I feel like I start to forget some of them already.. Pathetic Lol! Once I memorised all I will print out the karuta cards wheeee!!
