THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode actually had a lot working against it. I found there to be a lack of craziness and laughs for most of the episode. The most amusing parts are of course Yuri, Marin, and Maika’s fantasies, but those only lasted a few minutes in the first half. The rest of the episode seems like an attempt at a more drama-ish plot, but that ended up being rather bland. At the beginning, I had thought that maybe Haruo was depressed that Christmas Eve was coming because of something that had happened in the past on that day. But they took a much less exciting route than that. There’s also a considerable drop in animation quality, and I really didn’t care to hear their rendition of Jingle Bells. Like I said in this week’s Canvas2 entry, having a Christmas episode while it’s March in real life just isn’t the same as having it during December.

The cake shop employee is named Ran and she's meeting with her boyfriend Shinichi (Who almost looks like Shinichi from Detective Conan).
Wonder if that was supposed to be a reference to Detective Conan.

Also, this was a nice episode.
