Chihayafuru 2 – 22
「めぐりあひて」 (Meguri Ahite)
“Long Last We Meet”
Confession time: I may not have been glad at the results of the match this week, but I was definitely relieved.

“Long Last We Meet”

「言の葉の庭」 (Kotonoha no Niwa)
“The Garden of Words”
When it comes to the visual side of anime – or animation – there’s Shinkai Makoto, and everyone else. Two different categories, period.
「 逐力」 (OROCHI)
“Orochi”
What a fascinating riddle of a series Arata Kangatari is turning out to be.
「なこそながれて なほきこえけれ」 (Nakoso Nagarete Naho Kikoerkere)
“But Its Legacy Continues to Spread”
After probably the most satisfying Chihayafuru episode of the season last week, it’s right back into the torture chamber.
「あきのたの」 (Aki no Ta no)
“Of the Autumn Rice Field”
For a while there, I thought the purpose of this episode was to induce as many heart attacks as humanly possible among the audience.
「ゆくへもしらぬ こひのみちかな」 (Yuku e Moshiranu Kohi no Michi kana)
“I Do Not Know Where This Love Will Take Me”
Well, that was a surprising turn of events…
「わすれじの」 (Wasureji no)
“My Fear is That You Will Forget”
An interesting side-effect of the change in focus is that it’s made Chihayafuru a much more difficult show to blog this season.
「属鞘」 (Zokusyou)
“Zokusho”
Things continue to move along at a brisk but manageable pace with Arata Kangatari, which as yet stubbornly refuses to offer up any clues suggesting radical changes to the storyline to compensate for its brevity.
