Chihayafuru Episode 11


Fantastic episode! Team Misuzawa takes on the stacked Hokou team in the regional finals. The whole episode focus on that one match, but even with so little progression in the narrative, the tension and drama is excellent.

From Arata waiting anxiously for news, to Harada sensei 「はらだ先生」geting to see his prodigy in full bloom, to Nishida and Taichi finding their passion once again, and Oe and つくえくん growing in confidence, the episode is very well developed.

You will be surprised that a card game could be so exciting.

Rating: A-
