Of course.

S3 when?

>>142987784
Soon, an announcement is expected.

Taichi objectively best boy

>>142986935
Wait, there will actually be an S3? is this real life?

Also, Chihaya is going to come within a card of Shinobu next chapter, calling it.

>>142986975
Easily some of the best animation I've seen in a josei anime.

>>142987204
Kana-chan is #1 in my heart

S3 please.

This show was so perfect.

Also more fanart please, there's a serious lack of it.

>>142986935

Chihayafuru info?

source?

>>142992305
No source or info, just a Chihayafuru thread. For S2 most of the episode threads started with "We need to hype Chihayafuru dammit"

Underrated show.

Since this is probably the best place to ever ask:

Where's a good copy of the 100 poems in Japanese/English?

Should I read the manga after s2 or just wait for s3

I'm tempted but some of the stills from the show are just so damn pretty.

>>142992754
Just the text? I prefer the Porter translation myself.

>>142993032
I'd like Japanese/English side by side.

Hey OP do your job and keep your thread alive.

My favorite Anime.

I don't really get how Nikuman can get A class. He's fat as fuck. There's no way he should be able to move as quickly as he needs to be ranked that high.

Watched the first season. Really good, going to start S2 soon. Kana-chan is best girl, her love of poetry resounded much better than the others.

>>142995759
Its not ALL about how fast you can get the cards remember.

>Naniwa---

Dropped. Fucking nips, what's wrong with you?

>>142997300
yeah, hes the worst SC2 player
idk why the nips like him

>>142997572
Fuck you, he made it to like the quarterfinals in Code S. Sure it was at a time when Protoss were fucking EZ to win, but that's just like Stephano stomping the Koreans during zerg's reign of terror.

gb2/v/, summerfags.

We all hated to see Chihaya's skirt, but now we miss it.

>>142997801
Why the fuck would /v/ talk about something from 4 years ago? I imagine all they're doing is masturbating to overwatch porn.

>>142997807
I hated that skirt so much.

I really enjoyed the team tournament(s) so much more than when they started focusing on individual tournaments. I hope they don't just completely abandon the team tournaments in the future like Hikaru no Go did.

Anyone seen the chihayafuru movies? How do they compare to the anime?

>xyz a shit-posters

>>142999162
Manga still sells pretty well last time I checked. I think it's got a decent chance.

>>143000962

Can we talk about the latest manga chapter? It's up on nyaa.

The manga is so good ever since Taichi is out of the picture.

I just started watching Nodame Cantabile and it's giving me Chihayafuru vibes so far. I love it and I miss it. New season when.

>>143000981
Are scanlations up to date with the raws?

>>143001470
It's been 3 years since the last season, so s3 never.

>>143001681
>It's been x years so it's impossible
I've seen longer intervals between seasons. There's no set rule.

>>143001770
There is no reason to have another season. The show was always an advertisement tor the manga and a new season would only be watched by the already existing fans. The manga is still far from being finished so they couldn't even make a complete adaptation. The recent movies probably boosted the sales a lot so there is no literally no incentive to make another season. But hey, maybe a miracle will happen.

Shinobu is getting evil for the showdown.

>>143001681
>Are scanlations up to date with the raws?
It is two or three chapters behind. The translator was probably busy for around two months so there were no new chapters, but he has started releasing again. Or maybe they just leave a few chapters to come out, because this happens often. Otherwise the magazine is twice a month.

>>143002526
Thanks anon. Since the scanlations aren't dead I might pick up the manga. Is the manga as good as the show or does it go downhill like most other manga?

>>143003680
It is as good and has possibly gotten better.it also looks like there'll be an ending soonish when Chihaya and the others graduate, so I expect that when it gets to around that time, S3 will be released and it'll a glorious 2 or 3 cours that finishes things up but also doesn't fucking dawdle with Suou and Taichi's stuff.

Watched the first 2 seasons and liked it so much that I read the manga too. Arata is a fuccboi, if Taichi doesn't win in the end I'm going to be very frustrated

>>143004148
>wanting a rapist to win

ARATA BEST BOI

>>143004015
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-03-14/chihayafuru-manga-editor-discusses-series-progress-in-interview/.99701

According to this the manga could be either half way or 80% done. Though it makes sense that it would end with the graduation.

> S3 will be released and it'll a glorious 2 or 3 cours that finishes things up but also doesn't fucking dawdle with Suou and Taichi's stuff.
I pray to the giant naked rei every night for this.

Taichi had a hard life.

>>143004335
>but also doesn't fucking dawdle with Suou and Taichi's stuff
What does this mean, there are like 3 chapters with Suou/Taichi and the rest of it is Misuzawa/Arata shit. After Taichi quits the club the focus shifts on Chihaya and that 4-eyed autist.

>>143004344
>he had time to confess to girl from elementary to start of high school

He made it hard himself.

>>143004148
>>143004248
Accoring to the asian mentality of "hard work always pays off" taichi will win. I mean he fucked his life (in japan highschool is your life) so he could do what was best for the girl he loves.
Going this far >>143004344 chihaya should be legally his possession.

>>143004394
I just quoted the anons delusions I don't know what he meant.

>>143004475
The whole point of the show is that chihaya would never see him as a potential love interest unless he was good at karuta. The guy had no choice.

>>143004394
Only that few? I must have overestimated the amount of time that was spent on it. I'd guess an episode spend on it would more or less suffice and that's about the equivalent of time.

>>143004589
Well the manga isn't allowed to send messages that go against the dogmas that all mighty society preaches.

>>143004682
how so?

>>143004394
>After Taichi quits the club the focus shifts on Chihaya and that 4-eyed autist.

And the quality went up without that whiny baby.

Arata BTFO in latest chapters. Taichi about to learn from fucking meijin and become karuta god and win the Chihayabowl too.

>>142993327
Can't always get what you want, have to make by with what is given.

>>143004717
Yeah what an amazing quality

>m-muh team
>wait a minute, how do I talk again?
>yay I'm doing exactly what Taichi and Chihaya did, maybe she'll love me now? :^)
>oh shit, I got absolutely destroyed by the love of my life who only paid attention to me because I was way better than her, I guess my character is useless now :^)

Taichi coming back and winning Chihaya's heart by dominating her in karuta is all but confirmed now.

>>143004755
>Can't always get what you want

I thought you were talking about Taichi at first. kek

>>143004863
But Taichi will get what he wants, that's the point of the manga

Shinobu best girl. Prove me wrong, Kanafags.

>>143004709
If youths believe hard work brings happiness they will try hard which is better for society since they are more productive.

>>143004921
He gets what he wants by guilt tripping the girl he loves.

>>143005025
>guilt tripping
Oh fuck off Arata apologist, you're losing for like 3 chapters and you're already making excuses

>>143005025
Guilt tripping is a bit harsh. He just shows her that she is woman, and because she is a women all her success was dependant on a man.

Why can't Arata just leave Chihaya alone and hook up with Shinobu?

>both are autists
>both are geniuses in a shitty, irrelevant card game
>both should fucking kill themselves

Chihaya is for Taichi brehs, sorry

Confession: sometimes I think I want Taichi to win the karutabowl more than I want him to win the chihayabowl. (Obviously he's not going to win both, that would be unfair to Arata)

>>143005057
Taichi even said so himself. But hey, if the author is trying to teach society that you can get whatever you want through hard work, cheating, manipulating and whining yourself through then who am I to stop.

>>143005179
He probably would've leave Chihaya alone if Taichi would stop his self-hating trip. Dude had so many chances that he'd passed them up. And then Arata would finally realize the perfect girl for him is the Queen.

as an aratafag i don't mind if arata ends up with shinobu, she's the best girl anyway.
But i just want to see taichi suffering more

>>143005210
Taichi said he felt like the lowest of the low because he was deriving pleasure from Chihaya's suffering but that is only fucking natural really. And the fact that he has the capacity to acknowledge that about himself says a lot about him, it's just that him leaving the club was inevitable because of the way he felt. Let's see you stay in a club with the love of your life, trying to train her to become the best so she can hook up with another guy.

>>143005183
The Karutabowl for Taichi is pretty much "beat Arata and Chihaya". He has no intention of becoming the Meijin, he just wants Chihaya to notice him and Arata to fear him.

The S3 material specifically is better than S2. It gets a little dramatical after that, but not shit per say.

I spent the last 5 days marathoning through both season 1 & 2 it was a damn good time. Do we get to see more of the new 1st years later on? I really liked them and seeing all the 2nd years adopt a strong senpai persona.

>>143005400
Are you people retarded? For the first time in his life Taichi is enjoying karuta because he is not playing for someone else and so he is being able to play without any burden on his shoulders. It was specifically straightforward said in the manga. At this point point he is playing for himself and his own improvement as a person.

I don't give a single fuck about who Chihaya ends up with. It's by far the most banal and uninteresting aspect of Chihayafuru.

>>143007907
Yes. They even got new recruits during the third year.

>>143004481
>chihaya should be legally his possession.

Taichifags everyone.

>>143007907
Hey are you me? Although i did instantly continue reading the manga, I need more chihayafuru

>>143008427
Taichi has done so much for her it would be criminal to choose fucking Arata by now. Chihaya is slowly realizing this, beating Arata in karuta and then hugging Taichi, man I so enjoyed that.

>>143005400
>The Karutabowl for Taichi is pretty much "beat Arata and Chihaya"
do you guys even read this series
take the shipper glasses off for one second, Karuta has meant more to Taichi than just this for a while now
alternatively just read a more straightforward shoujo instead if the romance aspect is the only thing you're going to acknowledge

>>143009244
Well, yes, Taichi was held back in karuta because of Chihaya that's fairly obvious but it's still a fact that he only started playing karuta because of her. It's only recently when he got cucked by that autist that he started taking it more seriously and left the karuta club to be fuck buddies with the Meijin. It's the classic "if you love something let it go", he's playing for himself because he knows that's what he has to do to win the Chihayabowl.

If it's aimed towards young women why do I enjoy it so much?

>>143009888
The official demographic means very little especially when something becomes very popular. Manga just gets the overall demographic of the specific magazine they are released in. Take WSJ and the sports series that often are super popular among fujoshi and often enough that is even completely intentional. No magazine would limit itself to really only one demographic no matter how much it looks so. They would always try to throw in something that could have a wider audience.

>>142986935
why, did something happen in the latest chapter? i'm still 2-3 chapters behind

>>143010867
I think chapter 166 got translated yesterday, at least that's the one I read.

So do you guys think Chihaya will get raped by Shinobu for the third time in a row? Chihaya probably won't be allowed to win until the queen match. But then again, in the first two tournaments chihaya was obsessed with shinobu but now shinobu is the confrontational one. I kinda hope chihaya wins since that would open up some room for shinobu to grow plus it wouldn't be as predictable.

Wait, Taichi quits? What the fuck? Fuck this shit.

>>143015019
He doesn't actually quit karuta, just quits being dragged around by Chihaya like a puppy and that makes her crazy

>>143015019
It's actually good because there's less romance bullshit.

>>143013058
I live for the moment Taichi fucks Arata up with his hyperbolic time chamber training with the Meijin, I don't even care if he gets Chihaya or not.

>>143015776
But it's good romance bullshit.

Chihaya will lose by 5-10 cards because she won't be able to activate her furu mode while thinking "damn, how did I do it against Arata? I can't remember..."

The rest of the story will be about her mastering the furu.

>>143016455
Which buru though? The araburu or chihayaburu?

I hear the live-action films will be showing in some Montreal theater some time this summer alongside a bunch of other foreign films. Or at least somewhere in Quebec, anyway.
