Taichi's speech about why he keeps playing despite losing completely stole the spotlight of the episode. The character writing is so good, which makes us root for this club.

The humor here was kind of comedy and not easy going by searching a new member for the club. As chihaya doing her best to be more broad in skills as a team.

It's a well-established fact at this point that Taichi is doing this for Chihaya, but it was truly heartwarming to know that he's doing karuta because he enjoys it for himself. Also that scene with Komano was extremely poignant for a side character, how well done!

Chihaya starts scouting new members, but it’s not that easy. The new character is pretty stubborn lol. The vibe gets a bit tense in the match scenes, and the animation really supports it. The narration also hits nicely.

The writing was great, especially when they draw the parallel between the relationship of Arata and Taichi, with Taichi and Komano. This time, we not only see a new character, but see another side of Taichi through him, which is a delight. Arata feels like he's haunting the story

chihaya going around scouting people based on passion rather than skill is such a small but smart narrative choice, it tells you a lot about her values. the recruitment pacing is finally hitting a good rhythm.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Arriving at episode 7 of 25, this installment continues the club-building phase that defined recent episodes, following Kanade Ōe's recruitment by bringing Tsutomu Komano into the fold and fleshing out the team dynamic. It serves as a crucial character-deepening bridge between early recruitment efforts and the competitive challenges that lie ahead. The groundwork laid here—individual motivations, interpersonal tensions, the meaning of dedication—will pay dividends as the Mizusawa karuta club moves toward its first real tests as a unit.
