{Spoilers}
So as of 5 minutes ago I have finished the second season of Chihayafuru. To my complete and utter disappointment, there has been no third season made. If sometime in the future someone is reading this post and I haven't already reviewed the third season, please remind me to get my priorities straight and watch it right away.
I have to say straight off the bat that this wasn't very different from the first season. It was very much more of the same sort of character growth that is very prominent throughout the entire series. It shows the further development of the now second year Porky, Desktomu, Taichi, Kana, and Chihaya as well as the initiation into the cult (heh) for Tsukuba and Hanane. Honestly I didn't really like Hanane because she was really just into the club for love, but once I got past that she's a pretty cool girl I guess. Beyond the character development as well as all of their skill increasing as they took their experiences as well as what they observed about their opponents into consideration and changed their playing accordingly, the matches were all the same with the fall tournament and then the high school tournament at Omi Jingu. So the same characters and the same tournaments made it seem rather dull, but only on the surface I promise. If this were to be described in fanfiction terms this would be a 'slow burn' kind of series. You don't get everything all at once, but there is a certain tension that keeps you watching to see what exactly happens next. I think anime like this are extremely good to watch when you want something entertaining with the right amount of tension and fluff.
There were so many cute moments that I could only enjoy after watching the first season. Just seeing all of the characters grow made my heart grow all the more fond of them. I had to stop multiple times while watching just to capture all of them. Honestly not even going to add pictures from other sources because I took so many screenshots. I would say I'm sorry, but I enjoy putting together multimedia blog posts for people to enjoy.
Isn't Chihaya so adorable?

This intensity. These sky high expectations. I just thought this was really humorous because all the administration was watching him with crazy intensity.
Heh no pressure Yamashiro. Collectivism though.
THIS WAS SUCH A PROUD MOMENT. I ALMOST CRIED THINKING ABOUT HOW FAR HE HAD COME AND HOW FAR BEHIND HE LEFT THAT COWARDICE TO BECOME SOMEONE TRYING TO BE STRONGER.
Awh isn't this the sweetest?
THEY'RE TOO PRECIOUS
And I would like to close by discussing two things. First of all Chihaya's injury was so scary. I thought she would never be able to play karuta at all or she'd have to become a lefty, which all things considered wouldn't be too bad since she went so far in the tournament using her left hand. Super glad she got it taken care of though. Also super anxious for the next season because Taichi and Chihaya at training camp together? Many things could happen even if Chihaya has (maybe) already figured out her feelings for Arata.
