Karuta doesn't really have anything to do with the poetry itself...
While I wouldn't say Chihayafuru is about poetry it's still a part of it.

Fair enough, though far as I am concerned the sports aspect could've been anything and the formula that it follows wouldn't change. It is still just a shounen sports manga pretending to be shoujo.

Latest Space Dandy went back to being meh again. Only really good thing about that show is the music. It has the advantage of being released in the weekend or else I probably would have dropped it by now.

Did anyone else watch chihayafuru? I'm watching now... I'm kind of amazed at how good this is. 0_o
I'd never heard of it from anyone and randomly stumbled upon a recommendation.
Watched it a few weeks ago, was proper impressed with it. Hoping that there will be more of that in the future.

i almost dropped it because of the childhood arc, but then everyone was like, "I swear it gets better!!!" and it does.

I guess I can see where you are coming from, especially considering the huge focus on karuta in s2, but I disagree. The romance and occasional poetry definitely is part of a the whole and contributes to my enjoyment of the show (and I assume it's the same for many other Chihayafuru fans).

Since Chihayafuru got mentioned, I have a picture kinda relevant.
+ Show Spoiler +
I am participating in this, and will most likely make a blog about my journeys in the world of karuta so far (which started in this very thread) after that.

WCW, D-Frag, and Chuu2 are my top 3 for this season so far.
Nisekoi, Nobunaga the Fool, Hoozuki, Seki-kun, Mikakunin de Shinkoukei, Sekai Seifuku, and Inari Kon Kon are also solid shows.
The Holdovers rank like this for me but they are all good.
1. KLK
2. Strike the Blood
3. Golden Time
Only 1 show has been dropped so far: Sakura Trick. Mikakunin de Shinkoukei and Hoozuki are the most vulnerable to being dropped in the future.
Edit: Also I put Chihayafuru on hold after 3-4 episodes. So far its pretty meh. Will probably continue at some point based purely on people here saying its good but it will have a short leash. someone who's watching as much anime as I am, hooray! lol. All I have been doing this semester is reading, writing, teaching, and watching anime lol. It seems everyone I know in my circle of friends in the department this semester have 10000x they are doing so none of us get out much.

Well, the semester will be over soon enough. Given, masters and phd students don't usually get a break  Chuu2's episode yesterday was good as well. + Show Spoiler +Napping competition! We score you on how you sleep, how fast, your posture, how fast you wake up lols. Can't believe they made a whole episode on napping XD When Yuta and Satone woke up, then Rikka seeing them sleeping next to each other. She's like What the hell! LOL. Then Satone touches her nose and tells her that it's hers, What the hell! XD Too jokes lol. Yea and this summer I will be in the field in Mexico so no anime for me :[ :O ya, that's rough. Hope you still drop by the thread. I don't mind giving a lengthy writeup on episodes lol. Niseoki: + Show Spoiler +please teach her how to swim, she doesn't know how and needs to be ready by tommorrow. As if that's not out of the blue and suspicious lol. Well, at least he got to try out some key even though it was the wrong one XD Onodera seems to be catching on to the fact that he might be the one who promised her 10 years back and he is as well. It's too bad that I doubt we'll get any resolution for this until the end of the anime. Onodera also wishing she was the one drowning so that he can save her lol. More of the same, love it! :D . You guys think the anime will have an anime ending or will they just take a break once they finish the planned amount of episodes if the manga is likely to continue indefinitely? Bigfan Nisekoi will never end in manga lol .. its still a long way to go .. probably 10 more to be introduced that gets Harem-snatched by Rakku and the manga will end.. although i think anime will maybe get 2-3 seasons but i guess they will improvise their ending. And guys bigfan is giving hints about his age with the knowledge about how college,masters and phd works. He is definitely not a kid .. probably 18+ that many? :O lol. hmm well, whatever they improvise, I hope Onodera somehow wins this lol. I can't see them dragging this on for 3 seasons though. I mean, eventually they'll run out of things to do XD
Of course Onodera will win.. She is the best girl afterall .. Doesn't matter which Onodera :D

Finally got around to finish Monogatari.
+ Show Spoiler +I don't get Kaiki's reasoning. He says Nadeko never trusted anyone, then he says she is unable to doubt people (i.e. to think people would deceive her or do malicious things to her); how does that go together? Wouldn't that mean that she's actually trusting everyone in a way? If she never trusted anyone why would Kaiki think that he could earn her trust, and just by visiting her for a month at that? I am confuse.
The end when he realized he has been deceived by multiple people was really funny though. Also, Kaiki actually IS a nice guy, isn't he? Holy shit did he actually die (no spoiler pls).
Dat OP though.

+ Show Spoiler [my take on the first part] +I took it as she's making herself believe that "bad" people don't exist. Like that example when Kaiki asked wether Senjyougahara would take the bag with her and it got to Nadeko. As far as I understood it, the reasoning for Nadeko taking her bag in that theoretical example isn't her mistrusting people or rather she doesn't want to have to mistrust people but would take the bag with her as a protective meassure. Not for the bag but for her weird idea she has of the world.
So yeah it doesn't quite fit together but the way I understood it is that it's because Nadeko wants to keep that image in her head no matter what. No idea if that explanation makes any sense. Kind of like "she's not scared to lose her bag but scared to have her naive worldview destroyed"

No way. I am still optimistic enough to think that the blonde-monkey will not win at the end. Or if ever that were the case the best ending i could hope for would be same as the school days.
