Re: Rinharu and crossovers

I keep going back on the idea of a Free/Chihayafuru crossover (mostly because I'm really fond of the idea of Nagisa and Chihaya interacting admittedly but) I'm not really sure how to work Harurin in it though. Maybe they could see the others playing karuta, one thing leads to another and it turns into another ridiculous competition between the two.

Haha of course. If there's something to have a competition through, they would both try it. Do you think they'd be good at it?

Re: Rinharu and crossovers

[freeandjoy]

haha I'm not sure. There is a certain level of concentration involved and they're both good/decent at that. But there's memorization involved (which Rin is probably okay at, not sure about Haru) as well as having to put any cards bumped out of place in the right place after every round which could easily irritate them both before too long. So I think it depends on whether they have enough competitive spirit to get though a game which could go either way.

Pfft well, I guess they'd get competitive over it for a while. But might move onto something else quickly if it doesn't get them going enough. But they'd probably try at it enough. Could the plot of Free work replacing swimming with karuta? "The cards are alive."

Which reminds me I saw some art snowboard Haru and "the snow is alive" as he wobbles across it.

Memorization games... they can be tricky.

Well you'd have make some rather big changes (like Rin can't go to Australia in this for example, since karuta isn't really played outside of Japan) but I think it's possible.

Can you link? I don't think I saw that.

Oh true. I still need to look into this series and get more of an idea of it.

Agh I'm on my phone and it was on twitter but it's always funny to see Haru be clumsy at something. Though I wonder how Rin would fare...

"The cards are alive."
This is basically Shinobu's MO (all the cards are her friends). I can see this working with Haru. They're both the prodigy types and also kind of just... weird.

Ha! This anime sounds interesting, I'll be sure to look into it soon.

This character type can be interesting.
