Six years after the end of its second season, the Chihayafuru anime that adapts Yuki Suetsugu’s josei manga returned for its third season. After what seemed like a lifetime, Jared and Ink discuss this anime, at length, on their own show for the very first time (believe it or not). There is a general section up front, to cover what Chihayafuru’s all about, and some impassioned discussions regarding the characters, themes, and art of the third season.

Stream Chihayafuru on HIDIVE (English/Japanese dub) and Crunchyroll (Japanese dub).
Buy the whole shebang via Sentai or Rightstuff or Amazon.
