Episode 18 - HS

The version I got had broken subtitle styling.

I've been thinking about it for a while now, but it feels like the director/original author couldn't entirely avoid a slight inconsistency in Chihaya's playing proficiency when they are now trying to depict how tough the A class is. Basically the Queen match managed to do that, even if at the expense of the current Queen's humanity, but now Chihaya, objectively speaking, is playing worse than she was some eps ago. She makes lots of mistakes she didn't make previously and is continuously dumbfounded, not to mention she has zilch composure anymore.

But at least this leaves the other club members more chances to shine on their own. Especially the smaller ones.

Still no Arata... He's so forgotten already that it'll soon be impossible to build real emotional impact with anything happening with him.
