Chihaya Ayase is a frank and ebullient girl who becomes fascinated by the obscure world of competitive karuta, a card game based on Japanese poetry. Introduced to the aggressive style of the game by a quiet and thoughtful elementary school classmate named Arata Wataya, the two quickly become close friends. They start playing as a group with Taichi Mashima, Chihaya's smart and athletic childhood friend, until they have to part ways during their middle school years due to several circumstances. As their high school life begins, they meet once again.Where do I start, Its probably a favourite show and manga of mine. I think its deciphers so well how the main protagonist is trying to get into Karuta. For me Karuta is so unique even I want to play but memorizing 100 poems like that, by gosh you must have really good memories and to play at a speed like that woah.
So the story follows Chihaya and her classmates especially a close one called Arata into playing Karuta and winning of course. Each players get a chance of recognition in the show and whats best is that they also introduce another male friend of Chihaya and Arata called Taichi who is like king of Karuta of course quite amazing. I am impressed by the storyline and character development along with the animation.
Its bright and colourful, the music is settled so well with the characters and show. I love the whole slow process of allowing the characters to delve into the world of cards and gain the speed. The central line is finding ones passion into playing this game and that is what the show produced. The music and animation are on point too its amazing how it all fits!
After an exciting year for the Mizusawa High School karuta club, a new semester begins as two new members join the group. More passionate than ever for the old card game, Chihaya sets ambitious goals for herself and for her friends. They compete in two extremely arduous high school championships.
Here we go again with season 2! Of course this season was a bit more slow and more charming than the first season. This season it followed them entering and gaining new members who of course didn't want to play properly until the game started of course for all the wrong reasons.

Until they all prove through obstacles that they can play Karuta and enjoy it until their hearts content. For me the shows showing the competitiveness and complicated game of Karuta. How overwhelming it is and how they are passing it with a lot of dedication. Its lovely that its following the manga to, although there is a lot more to the manga than where the anime stopped off of course.
If you must know the complicated relationship to Arata and Chihaya along with Tachi is a main topic throughout the games. Its a complicated and complex love and hate triangle with a lot of ignored feelings. When I read the latest chapter it was sad to see what was going on, of course no spoilers but its still on going hopefully there is a 3rd season of this show, its such a great one and so thrilling to watch something so different! If you haven't watched it give it a go you might want to also play it! There's a lot more in the show than meets the eyes!
I shall leave you with some songs

The Knight in the Area - Area no Kishi ~~~ヾ(＾∇＾)
Type: Manga
Volumes: Unknown
Chapters: Unknown
Status: Publishing
Published: Aug 2006 to ?
Genres: Comedy, School, Shounen,Sports
Authors: Kibayashi, Shin (Story),Tsukiyama, Kaya (Art)
Kakeru Aizawa is the younger brother to Suguru Aizawa, a soccer prodigy belonging to Japan's under–15 national team. Prior to the series, Kakeru quits his position as a forward after a traumatic experience prevented him from playing with his left leg and settles for a managerial position. After the two are hit by a truck, Suguru dies and has his heart transplanted into Kakeru. With it, Kakeru returns to football to achieve his brother's dream of winning the World Cup.
Short and simple, I havent done this in a while so I want to keep it clean and sweet! So here I go. Area no kishi, if you are a sports fan then this is a must for you. Its a very good show which has very developed characters and it's not just the characters that's well written, Its also a very good plotline.
The series has great art work and personality they are great players who are lacking something and try to regain that. Its quite realistic in some parts but kind of strange in the other. What I mean is it has a fun vibe to it, it's not like POT(prince of tennis) with over exaggeration but its still fun to watch.
The story is based on Kakeru who becomes an underdog for the soccer team with a hidden talent. Although I did find it annoying how it kept going back and forth on Suguru and how much he was awesome and so forth. But its still good to know that from Idolising his older brother he became better for the best of it. Lets just point out that most of the part in the series there is a human drama factor to it. It's also very much worth watching so give it a try.
I only caught up to some Anime recently so hopefully Ill get to review more :D
I'll leave you with some songs for now!
