Ten Anime that Shaped Me Day Ten https://www..com/watch?v=rxebYxY9NXE https://anilist.co/anime/10800/Chihayafuru/ Oh my oh my what a blast it has been when I discovered the Chihayafuru series in 2014. I hadnt experienced such a breathtaking but also blasting series for a very long time. Neither did I have such an urge to continue watching a series from literally every episode to the next one as from this one. Truly bewitched Chihayafuru took me to a wonderful world in which poetry and classical literature likeable animation great characters and character portrayal a wonderful setup story and even sports and comedy were not only able to coexist no all these aspects and many more helped to bring out the great potential of the others making it such a unique and wonderful story. Nothing let me down in this series. Not even the opening or the ending songs or generally speaking the soundtrack overall. All of them just stuck with me a whole lot. There is just so much happiness and energy within it. What a big love I have for the characters which seem so loveable created in design and character but also so authentic and reasonable within themselves and in reaction to each other. A show where youre even able to sympathize with the opponents to a high degree while also not being distracted by it. In my eyes Chihayafuru is truly exceptional and unique. Anime manga and universewise. Yuki Suetsugu a. o. created such a wonderful universe all around it with not only the manga being exceptional but also having three captivating lifeaction movies a hulu series light novels and a related prequel/spinoff manga showing more and more depth into the universe. A great use of subtle and symbolic references in many instances compliments the series quite well and is fitting its tone perfectly. Contrary to entry no. 9 with which I kinda struggled to come up at first it was crystal clear to me which anime was going to take the most recent place 10 from the very beginning. Quite certain I can tell you Chihayafuru is one of my most loved series in its whole variety throughout the plethora of depictions in its universe. Also there is for sure no other franchise which has led me to buy as many items as this one. I think I might even be able to kinda build up a shrine with all of it or so. haha. x3 Honestly I own quite a lot stuff from this series. :D I hope many more will discover the greatness of this franchise and that also others will be able to experience it as I did. So if you havent watched it so far please give it a try. Chihayafuru really is an enjoyable series. So you might be able to imagine how much Im looking forward to the soon upcoming 3rd anime season of Chihayafuru and how much I hoped for it to happen. While being able to speak/write even longer about it I rather conclude it for now with the only question which is left for me for now: Chihayafuru season 4 when will it be published? :D https://www..com/watch?v=NqGS4W1Qs4list=PLkfLfpb6aGlhTzjNV61UZvn73Zjj7KWNindex=25 PS: Chihayafuru just deserves exactly 100 episodes as they are also exactly 100 poems. 1st Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/28892001 2nd Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/28961931 3rd Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29045084 4th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29156172 5th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29361529 6th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29439213 7th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29508126 8th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/29581840 9th Dayhttps://anilist.co/activity/31011689 Specifications: One anime per post and one post per day.
