Hands down to this series. Maybe we didn't get as much character interactions and revelations from our lead triangle compared to the first season, but honestly, I don't care. I love Chihayafuru and the whole reason that keeps me glued each week are the intense karuta matches. And for its entire 25 episode run that's exactly what I get. Just pure, unadulterated, blissful, extensive and at times torturous Karuta. Mizusawa clinched the best team trophy. Taichi finally made it to class A. Desktomu and Tsukuba also won in their respective classes. Chihaya got a fair beating from Megumu. Then there's the showdown of the Karuta Gods: Shinobu and Arata, just in time before the season closes.

I am completely torn between these two. But it's all about the connection and their extraordinary character appeal that is always consistent and never generic in spite of their seemingly typical lifestyle.
