But somehow it doesn't.Ĭhihayafuru is well written, though written unimaginatively.
Usually there is something that just pisses me off how formulaic it gets on the competitive front. I'm sure that teenagers would find it far more impressive than I do, but somehow I just can't bring myself to actually dislike anything in the series. There is an ineffable charm to Chihayafuru that manages to overcome just how silly it is. All this does not take away from the fact that it is a good show. The romantic aspect is forced and downright blatant jab at getting the female viewers on board. There is reliance on tropes and standard practices in anime, which is both a strength and a weakness. It tends to be cheesy, and is cerebral only in the most simplistic ways. Really though, Chihayafuru manages to be surprisingly effective despite the fact that it really doesn't do anything fundamentally better than other shows. but is equally effective and gets extra credit for originality.

The competitive aspect is rather nonsensical, and the drama in them is about as over the top and silly as every stupid sports/tournament series out there. It is an uncool story about an uncool game which only uncool people are drawn to because they mind. Once you like the theme, and even begin to understand the tricks behind it (should happen by the seventh episode or so), the series becomes one where you can actually feel for the drama. The fact that it is dealing with poetry is magnificent for any literature geek, and the episode where they delved a bit into the meaning behind the words made me love the theme. The story, as mentioned, is part of the same cookie cutter cliche that so many others are from. The characters aren't particularly likable. The humor isn't particularly good when it makes a showing, the drama isn't particularly dramatic. Here we are with yet another series about high school students determined to reach their goals.
