Synopsis Chihaya is a lighthearted tomboy, who's not especially good at anything in particular. Her dream has always been for her sister (an aspiring model) to become the number one beauty of Japan, or perhaps of the world. But then one day she meets someone who tells her that a dream is something that should concern only herself - and something she has to work hard for as well. At the same time, Chihaya discovers a passion for the old Japanese game hyakunin ishhu, also called "karuta". Main Characters  Taichi Mashima (真島太一) An all-round sportsman, and Chihaya's childhood friend. Because he is a sore loser, he becomes Chihaya's rival in karuta. He seems to have feelings for Chihaya although he has a girlfriend.  Chihaya Ayase (綾瀬千早) A determined schoolgirl who "possesses a remarkable hearing ability". She believes that by persevering in karuta, she will meet Arata again, and begins a karuta club at her high school with Majima. While she is beautiful, she is considered too weird, her classmates referring to her as a "waste of a beauty". She has been described as a "tomboy trapped in a supermodel's body".  Arata Wataya (綿谷新) A transfer student to Chihaya's elementary school, grandchild of a master karuta player, Arata inspires Chihaya to take up karuta. His dream is to become a karuta Meijin. After graduating elementary school, he returns to Fukui to care for his grandfather. After returning to Fukui, he quits karuta. Other information Episodes: 25 Producer: Madhouse Studios Genres: Drama, Sports Rating: PG-13 - Teens 13 or older Opening Theme: "YOUTHFUL" by 99RadioService Ending Theme: "Soshite Ima" (そしていま) by Asami Seto Official website: ちはやふる ------------------------ So this is an anime about a game called "karuta". I honestly don't know how the game works but I just enjoy seeing the 3 main characters. lol. The three of them were so cute! Too bad they're going back to being teenagers in the next episode. The first two episodes were very heartwarming. Accompanied by good music and very pretty animation, this could be a great show! Although there were some really frustrating scenes (damn you little Taichi), overall, I think this could be the season's "wildcard", if in case Mirai Nikki fails.  |

I thought the first episode was fun. The use of flashback, which is usually a bad idea, worked well here. The animation was spotty ... some good, some bad, but over all not horrible. Character design is good. Hate their hair, but a minor quibble.
Not to jacked about the plot so far (karuta). To be honest, I'd rather watch people fight over cheap box lunches, but I'll give this another couple episodes. I didn't think I'd like Saki and ended up enjoying that despite the amateurish hand of GONZO. First episode: 4/5  |

This anime is really good. The latest episode was episode 3 where they left the flashback arc.
Episode 3 was so sad. |

Ah this anime is so nice! I love it. Im glad they finally started the actual show now. A four episode introduction was... long! But it was a good intro, so I dont mind.
Episode 4 had my heart pounding during the game scene. |
