Our Review
Written by AnimeReview TeamThe animation quality is outstanding. Madhouse really outdid themselves. The fluid movements during the karuta matches are so captivating and dynamic, and the character designs are so expressive. You can really feel the intensity and emotion through their facial expressions alone. And the sound design? Absolutely perfect. The traditional Japanese music perfectly complements the story, and the voice acting is superb. Every character is brought to life with such depth and emotion. The sound of the cards being slapped down, the tension in the air – it all just elevates the experience to another level.
Overall, Chihayafuru 2 is a triumph. It's more than just a sports anime; it's a story about friendship, dedication, and pursuing your dreams. The characters are so well-developed and relatable, and the story is so engaging that I couldn't help but become completely invested in their journey. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it left me with a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of karuta. If you're looking for an anime that will touch your heart and leave you feeling inspired, look no further. This anime gets a solid 10/10 from me!
