I Was Surprised2011-10-04

The premiere begins in Chihaya's high school present before pulling back to the childhood encounter with Arata and karuta. The structure is earned: audiences need the childhood weight before the competition makes emotional sense. The episode establishes what the series understands - that karuta is not the subject, it is the language.
