Ah, Alice speaking english...I loved it xD

What she said was random but I thought it was somewhat poetic. I thought she was reciting a poem at first, until she mentioned Poppy.

I don't ship Aya and Yoko but I don't mind it and it's practically canon :P

At this rate Ayaya will start to have wet dreams with Youko in no time >_<

There was one scene that confused me, when Alice and Shino were in their room and said that love (snow) will start falling soon, suminee started to shiver, was it because she does not like her Shino yuri inclinations (more like Shino would hump anything blonde)?

She may be a member in F.A. club as the teacher.

Isami running in with that wooden blade was funny, especially Alice reaction towards it.
That must have been one nightmare for her to even lose Japanese speech for a while, she got over it pretty fast tho.


She never lost it, she was faking it to make Shino like her again. She slipped out of her role a few times whenever something was said that bothered her.

Normally in anime Japanese schools seem pretty strict about dress code but seeing how often the girls appear with different outfits at the school that doesn't seem to be the case here.


Well, they did say that Karen was lucky to not have been spotted by anyone when she was wearing the kimono.

Still, I agree that they seem to have a fairly relaxed dress code nonetheless, given Alice's pink vest and Karen's Union Jack parka that they can safely wear over their uniforms without any trouble. And then there's the Santa outfits...


I loved Alice's random English. For a while, I'm not sure if Karen and the teacher truly understood what she said, but I did like how they just said that Shino should handle it by herself.

And Alice has strange nightmares, though they're very cute.

The village her home is based on is Castle Combe, which is near the southeast edge of the Cotswolds. A map can be found here of the area: http://maps.cotswoldsaonb.com/#

The nearest station to the village is Chippenham, but the platform view Shino arrives on is the (much smaller and further) station at Kemble. Probably just because it's a lot more picturesque. If you want a bus timetable for getting to Castle Combe, the main bus is this one: http://waa.ai/BMu

Of course, you may want to explore the rest of the area as well. I was in Stroud a few weeks back, which is very nice for a functioning town (as opposed to one that basically exists purely for tourists like Castle Combe does).

Episode cute as the performance, the narrative also takes advantage of the presence of Isami, great.
This makes it the longest running storyline that sees a new step forward, I like it.
Simple and cute, not bad. Pleasant in the end this episode, which is also a kind of self-criticism to the Japanese company that made Christmas yet another opportunity to be exploited for commercial purposes.
Think about it folks, a little dig by a girl so pretty, can become a boulder if well exploited! ^ _ ^

wait... What the heck is happening!? Why Does everyone has a different personality than before!!? Did something happen after Alice dream !!?
Aya is more straight-forward in "flirting" with Yoko.. even saying she is a great person or something in her dreams. Alice just became a Full-accent English mode .. who forgot how to speak decent Japanese. also, Shino just became the concern motherly-shy type of character!!

Woah!! Timeskips alot!! Where's Valentines and White Day... oh It doesn't have the "romance" genre on the first place.. so I think They didn't include it . (But There's a Yuri genre...)
Graduation !! Not them.
Pretty good Episode!!!
Alice's face when she sleeps!! so kawaii!!
Well.. That Family ... Alice is the pet!! grandfather Yoko lol!!
Aya being a mother is perfect for her!!

Most yuri episode especially as far as Shino x Alice, with Alice going on about spending her "Japanese Christmas" with Shino and yelling "I like you!", and then Shino saying love is the colour of Alice's heart :D

"even if you become a samurai" I'm sure we all tried to picture Alice and Karen as samurai ;) and then flustered Aya was so cute again.

Christmas episode! And more Engrish! I like how Alice pointed out the origin of Christmas and wasn't just a holiday for couples. Lol at Shino's present for Alice. She can get as many of those when she returns back to England. So they all graduate this episode. They're second years now. Good episode.

Getting a stone for Christmas.. Well, at least it wasn't coal.. Shino has really strange mind.. Like, she's into exotic outfits, but this present.. Is she sometimes egocentric or something maybe?.. I shouldn't be talking like that, though.. But really, a stone.. Hehe.. Kill me..
What are these bizarre happenings with Alice?.. ;p It all feels very surreal..
Oh, I wonder, if they'll start new year in different classes.. It'll be especially sad to see Aya separated from Youko, and Shinobu from Alice.. I'd like to see them together.. ;/

Very nice episode, in which the comedy is the usual: based on misunderstandings and word games, and also embarrassing moments, but still all cute and funny, and never stupid or vulgar. Christmas? Ah! That period seems so far after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To be fair, I think Santa as a concept came from the West. So Karen isn't being "more Japanese than English" by wearing a Santa dress.

Well, I guess this episode confirms the existence of Christianity in their universes. I mean, other anime have Christmas as well, but still. Also kind of funny that Alice thought to herself "so English" when she learnt that her teacher prayed during the holidays. As if the UK is the only Christian country, lol.

Doesn't Japan have schools that use vests in their uniforms? Yeah, I just found it a bit odd that they found the uniform that Alice was wearing to be "too British." It looks like something out of Harry Potter, I guess? I'm not from those countries so I don't know what are the major differences between the two's vest uniforms.

I'm guessing this is the "obligatory drama episode in a cute girls doing cute things anime," huh?

Everybody being mean to poor Inokuma. So mean, so hurtful.

Aya is constantly dreaming about Inokuma. Aya x Inokuma when? Where yuri?

That was a weird bit of drama with Alice and Shinobu. Especially since it seemed to be entirely fabricated by Alice.
