This show was a real treat to watch. Chihaya could get carried away at times (like when she was recruiting members), but she recognized her mistakes and tried to do better. I thought Taichi was the most interesting character, at first being spoiler[jealous and sometimes petty]but going on to be spoiler[a good leader for the club.]
I'd be a little suprised to see it licensed but hope at least the manga will be picked up. I want to see how this story ends. |

That assuming that this series cost 500 million yen ($6.1 million), which, to my knowledge, is not frequent for TV series, many of which are produced on the cheap. If you know the budget for this series, then we can do a calculation. Though yes, an additional 20,000 per volume is not promising. |

I loved Chihayafuru enough that I'm importing the BD release. I'm really hoping that I'll have the chance to double-dip with a US BD set/half-sets.
I liked Chihaya, although the Chihaya/Taichi/Arata triangle didn't really interest me. The Chihaya's other team members were fun, especially Tsutomu and Kanade... I liked the end of the series well enough, with Chihaya's loss. |

After reading this review, I gave this show a try, and man, I have never cried so much for a show in my life after just watching the first 4 episodes. Just to not cause any misunderstanding, there were no sadness or anything of that sort, but there definitely were PASSION and FRIENDSHIP.
I guess the shoujo/josei style of character design is fine, but I would have being more happy if they did this in a shounen style. |

You're right on both, and yeah it doesn't have to cost 500 million yen. Just do a proportional adjustment whether above or below that number. |

We really need another season.
And am I the only person who thought those leaves looked like marijuana leaves? Are the animators trying to tell us something? |

Those are Japanese maple leaves. They're pretty common in anime, I think, but someone ends up mistaking them for marijuana leaves every time...

Was no one else put off when Chihaya got the Happy Birthday text from Arata and had an orgasm on the spot?

Chihayafuru may have had a non-ending but I still gave it Masterpiece, because it is very, very rare to watch an Anime where every single episode is a good one. Even the recap was okay. I loved the show, the visuals, the music, but especially the characters, If there ain't a fanfic out there featuring Tsutomu and Kana getting all hot and steamy I'll darn well write one myself.
Don't forget how the first Haruhi series had Kyon reading a book for several minutes. I refute that the last three episodes are boring or weak. In the last episode of Chihayafuru, Tsutomu says that spoiler[Chihaya has twenty-one one-syllable cards.] One of the best parts of the Anime, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.
Chihaya is so blind to sex and just general male-female relations that she probably wouldn't know what an orgasm was even if she experienced one. That's why I was more a fan of Kana. |
