| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So the girls are shooting a movie this episode? Cool. Lights, camera, and action! The Christmas theme was quite fitting this episode though with the holiday spirits. Lol, the French language part was amusing. |

At long last, they finally realized that they need to put in at least a little bit more fanservice! This should boost the Blu-ray sales. - - - - - - - - - - - - On a separate note, here is the preview for Episode 12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeJShSDSkrA |

| Another nice episode, and I'm glad that Chloe's not leaving. She's been one of the best characters in this shwo so far. Also, I'm glad that Shuri Furuya got a brief cameo in this episode, seeing as she is one of my favourite characters from the game. |
| How can one be fluent in the language yet misunderstand so spectacularly? |
 |
| Julia is also a transfer student and judging from what she said during the snow she is from Slovenia that's if my translator is correct. It's not surprising that if there is one transfer student around that their are probably more around i just wonder how many seeing the number of blond students with blue eyes. Then again in anime you never know. Chloe caused a pretty big misunderstanding with her language barrier so much that even her father came to Japan. Guess she still has some things to learn. |
| @Aversa: Is this the "Julia" that you have in mind? Juria Ryuugasaki (竜ヶ崎珠里椏) Here are several webpages with information in Japanese about her: http://gamedb.xii.jp/gf_kari/girl.php?id=29&_i=5 http://www52.atwiki.jp/vcard/pages/86.html http://girlfriend-playersite.com/kyonyu/juria-ryugasaki/ http://gfkari.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-213.html http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E7%AB%9C%E3%83%B6%E5%B4%8E%E7%8F%A0%E9%87%8C%E6%A4%8F The last one has by far the most detailed background information. But I couldn't spot anything about whether she was from another country or what country it was. |

| @Cratex: Thank you! You are correct. That is her. She is from Russia. These webpages have some information about her in Japanese. http://girlfriend-playersite.com/bikyaku/valkova-yulia/ http://www52.atwiki.jp/vcard/pages/50.html http://gamedb.xii.jp/gf_kari/girl.php?id=46 http://dic.pixiv.net/a/%E3%83%A6%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A4%E3%83%BB%E3%83%B4%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B3%E3%83%AF Russian and Slovenian are both classified as Slavic languages. So they are in the same language group. Therefore, it is no surprise at all that Aversa's translator mixed the two up. Any two different Slavic languages tend to have many words in common. Her name is written in Japanese as: ユーリヤ・ヴャルコワ |

| That was funny. Chloe misunderstood the Japanese tradition that she told to her Papa so he got worried and thought they were dangerous things. x3 Yay for Chloe staying!! o/ I wonder if the film they sent to Chloe's parents was subbed in French. xP They are such good friends. ;w; And the New Year's episode is the finale! I'm gonna miss you all... D: |
| Lol we all knew it was gonna be a misunderstanding once the reasoning was "japan to dangerous!" well on the weather side yes it is but still kinda like how the Julia girl made it just in time for winter :P |
 |
| "Heartwarming stories when it's cold out"? ..That actually makes sense. Aww Chloe is so sad <3 LOL nude?! Mochizuki, so daring~ CONFESSION GOGOGO.. all well close enough, ship <3 Chloe is so damn cute though. During the video... ahhng it's a beautiful girls heaven. Two words: Google translate. Huh, for once the foreign student won't be staying? ..Nah they'll find a way in the end. Never heard of all those foods. THE FRENCH. THE FRENCH. IT'S KILLING ME. THE JAPANESE. THE JAPANESE. IT'S KILLING ME. Of course it had to be another cultural misunderstanding xD Sneg? What language is that? |
| So it was just a big misunderstanding -___- ... that kinda makes Chloe seem a bit too ehh Still best girl tho hahaha Hear weird french then read japanese subtitles then translate to english in my head lol fingers crossed that Erena persuades Kokomi eheheheheh |
 |
| I was so happy when worst girl was about to leave.................. but she didn't. 1/5 |
| Lol. Chloe misunderstanding some parts of the Japanese culture. Good thing the girls are to clarify things. Kokomi's nude photos? I want to see that. XD Chloe so adorable. |

| DarkWolfHunter asked: Sneg? What language is that? That is the Russian word for snow. As Aversa pointed out, it is also the Slovenian word for snow. |
| The reason for her to be that down was obvious. Still, making a movie so that she won't go away, that's new. But that French... |
okanagan said: DarkWolfHunter asked: Sneg? What language is that? That is the Russian word for snow. As Aversa pointed out, it is also the Slovenian word for snow. In Polish it's also the same word, written "śnieg" and pronounced the same way it was in this episode. |
| I'm from Poland, so i'm sorry if i make some mistakes in english sentences (including this one) |
| Russian girl appeared again and once again I jumped, when she speaked Russian (even if it's only one word). |
It's a big relief that Chloe doesn't have to move back to France after all. This episode had me worried. Even so, Chloe is correct to believe that eating mochi (a kind of sticky rice cake) is dangerous. According to a 2013 article in The Guardian, "Between 2006 and 2009, 18 people died from mochi choking in Tokyo alone, according to fire department figures." and "Japan’s food safety commission ranked mochi among the top causes of food-related choking incidents..." Here is the full article: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/30/japan-new-year-mochi-death-technology Here is a scene from the movie "Tampopo" where a man nearly chokes to death eating mochi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83KgeYls7iM |

| Best episode so far. I love the pronunciation of Chloé and her father when they speak french (^-^). |
| Oh, my... Whole drama based on misunderstanding... This isn't even funny... -.- |
    |
| well, that was cute. and nude photo shoot, yes please! only one more episode left... |
| Sakaitsu said: I love the pronunciation of Chloé and her father when they speak french. I noticed that Chloé's father spoke French very, very well. Also, I guess that his Japanese was good as well, but I can't judge with confidence. So I was thinking that perhaps they had even hired one voice performer to record his single line in French, and then had a Japanese-speaking voice performer do the rest of his lines. However, in the closing credits it lists his voice performer as Kenji Hamada (浜田賢二). In his long career, he has played many roles where the character is from some country in Europe. So that could explain his language talent in French. Here is his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Hamada By the way, they listed Chloé's father's name as セルジュ‧ジャック‧ルメール, which is "Serge Jacques Lemaire". |

| Lol that was pretty funny :p but I do wonder what the last episode will offer us |
 |
| Cute as usual the episode. The plot has yet to reveal other characters, who seem to never end, storytelling fun; it is hilarious Chloe-san. Not bad designs and animations. Beautiful soundtrack. |
 |
| I dunno. This was kinda lame. I mean, whole premise was just stupid to pull any emotions in the end. Not to mention all that "french" was something horrible, I cringed. If anything I think it would be a lot better if she had to leave, farewell party would be real deal at least. Those reasons or should I say misunderstandings that almost made her return to her own country were pretty stupid in the end. And I think I don't have to repeat again but Chloe and Erena are the worst voiced characters of this show. |
| My goodness...all of that drama over a silly misunderstanding. Well at least Chloe got to stay, plus we saw her dad! The Christmas atmosphere was also rather pleasant. |
| The girls literally wasted their time just for a misunderstanding xD Chloe such a klutz. Causes this big drama all because she didn't fully comprehend the Japanese culture. That golf scene was nice. |
 |
| You know, that was pretty funny. All this sad stuff was simply predicated by a silly baka gaijin misconception. It fits in so well with Chloe's character. Good on you, show, for making me laugh ONCE. |
| Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore. |
| I was right! Mochizuki really wants to do a porn photo shoot of them! And I didn't expect the reasons why Chloe's dad didn't want her to stay. |
 |
| She should go back to French to learn French first xD when they spoke french it sounded like Romanian people trying to speak french, and that whole drama was one of the most stupid thing I've ever seen for the whole reason and how the father accepted |
 |
| I'm glad that Chloe's didn't have to go. It was only a misunderstanding. |
