Episode 1 –

The Chihayafuru poems come to life! This is very sweet and I like the art work. I love the narrator too. And it was very nice to see Chihaya’s signature poem featured!!

3

This is a good one to watch with Chihayafuru, as this anime explains the origin of all the poems used in game in that show.

The narrator continues to amuse me and I like the way he tells the stories behind the poems.

I liked the way he was banging his head against the tree too! :lol:
