| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Interesting. It seems the episode takes place near Christmas and is a busy time of the year. Narumi seemed more emotional than usual this episode but I think it's part of her character. I still enjoy watching her chemistry with the rest of the cast, in particular Nifuji. Her relationship with Koyanagii remains both friendly and professional at the work place. I also love how festival the holiday spirits are this episode. Seems the show is able to capture the mood really well. Naoya even has a Santa hat with a Christmas outfit on! |

| lol~ Guys doing kabedon for the sake of girls! Both of them forgot their umbrella and male senpai lend them one. He immediately ran to his girlfriend's umbrella. Main guy notice there's something wrong with main girl, who doesn't want to talk about it, though. The reason for being down is just her favorite manga character died... CM this ep. Christmas gacha, huh. No wonder male senpai acts like that... he was really busy last Christmas, too. The age of believing Santa, way of enjoying Christmas. KajiKaji's character in Santa outfit. though not warm up. She felt poor about his work. And he doesn't have girlfriend. lol @ how she cheer him up. Wow @ his thinking about Santa. Senpai pair eventually had a nice Christmas. Wow, Yuru Yuri figure?! Game night for them. 25:05 next |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Christmas! But honestly i thought that Koyanagi and Kabakura are living together. Also that little brother can sometimes said some deep shit lol. + another EVA reference. |
 |
| WTH that was so unexpected the Kabe-don what a great start. I always love it when they give both couples the same scenario and seeing how each couple reacts to the situation. I wasn't expecting christmas already I was expecting a halloween episode before a christmas episode but oh well. is it weird that I prefer watching hana and kabakura's relantionship more than hirotaka and narumi's? |
| The beginning was funny. They looked very uncomfortable lmao. So the reason Momose was bummed out is because her favorite manga character died lol, I cannot relate. Naoya said some deep things. |
 |
| Oh boy that beginning, poor guys. Narumi being sad worried me for a bit. But that reveal, truly heartbreaking LOL. This christmas episode had some good moments, showing the childhood, and damn Nifuji was already an otaku back there. Kabakura and Koyanagi moments were cute, their chemistry is really good. Nice Chritmas dinner, he is a hardworking man. |
 |
| Dat posing at the beginning,tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I am loving this anime this is something refreshing from other otaku based romance anime and it also gives both couple same attention The kabe-don Poor guys |
 |
| Nice Christmas episode. Love the focus on both couples. |
| But man to both forget umbrella's on the same day though how amusing. Still it did give the chance for a sweet moment between Tarou and Hanako. Narumi's reason for being sad was perfectly understandable though. The santa story huh. Guess we all believed in it sometime. But having to hand out drinks in such a thin costume looks to be a hard job especially in the cold of winter. Nao sure has a kind and honest belief of what santa stands for though. The reason why Tarou worked so hard though was cute. A slow paced episode that focused on the developing relationships between the two pairs. The difference of how they spent Christmas though was funny. |

| i see Kou when they were talking to Naoya |
 |
| Nao is the best boy this season, really. He's so precious, so nice, so adorable! It should be illegal to create such perfert characters! Also, Mario reference killed me. What a cute episode! |
| For a moment there... Narumi saw the "opposite" side of Hirotaka thanks to that "i'm okay"-like statement. And for Kabakura, I congratulate you for the "hard work" you've done really pays... sweetly. ;) |

| despite having a few screentime, Koyanagi and Kabakura scene is my favorite, it’s simple, and cute, that’s it. a scene when they’re sharing an umbrella together and having a dinner reserved half year ago really show how geniune their relationship is, despite both of them being pretty tsundere. i need that kind positivity in a relationship like that  if i have a girlfriend and she told me that what’s happening to her doesn’t involve me at all, i will be pretty pissed too actually..., being honest is the key you know |
 |
 I want one too!! T_T |
 |
| That Monster Hunter reference at the end lol, the struggles of getting a Kushala Daora gem are so real... |
| Mastery through endless repetition. |
| I totally get you Narumi-chan, nothing can ruin your day like the death of your favorite character, it's always a hard blow. Also we are still pretty far from christmas this year, but I loved the episode. I was glad to see Kabakura making an effort for Hana-chan, and Nao-chan is super cute. Hirotaka and Narumi's christmas was great too, playing with the person you care for after eating some good food has to be the best. |
 |
| Quite an improvement compared to the previous episode, the comedy was neat. Gotta love that Akarin~ figure, great present! |
 |
| That Kabakura is really addicted to Yuru Yuri, dat Akarin... He's clearly a man of culture. |

| I love this. Both couples are so fun to watch. I would love to see Kabakura propose to Hanako, but this is only 11 episodes and I feel like that would happen later in the manga if it were to happen at all. |
| I correctly understood, Kabakura is a big fan of Yuru Yuri? |
 |
| That bit where Kaba was "rejected" by Hirotaka had me in stitches. |
 |
| Hirokata being pissed as how Narumi is keeping her pain for herself is relatable. I actually did get pissed lol |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| That opening sequence. xD Hirotaka worrying about Narumi was sweet, I love how he got her to open up to him. The scene at the bar was hilarious, Kababkura was totally distraught after hearing the truth. I understand Narumi, that emotion when a character you like dies. :( That advice Narumi gave Nao cracked me up. XD Nao is too pure for this world. :( The final scene with Kabakura making it upto Hanako was super sweet. <3 |
 |
| "If you ever feel down and feel you can't go on anymore, just remember what I'm about to say! I hope all the happy people out there explode!" Damn good advice, honestly. Nao is so wholesome, btw. |
| What narumi feels about her favorite character died is actually based on real life (just check some anime forum when the most favorite character died in it, you'll find another narumi there XD) So, Kabakura is definitely YRYR huge fans (meaning that he loves shoujo ai genre) and akarin might be his favorite character. Limited edition figure for a gift ? That's every otaku man's dream, maybe XD |

| I'm loving this anime so far this is my my favorite episode yet. This anime does a good job of capturing the otaku "feel" perfectly and does a good job of not coming of as cringy which is something a lot of other otaku anime do. Making me laugh along and thinking, "That's totally how it is.", and the use of real world reference help with that a lot, instead of thing otherwise negative thoughts like some other "otaku" anime do. I've also taken a notice to how the I enjoy the side characters just as much as the main and I have the same investment in them as the main characters, I even hesitate to call the side couple `side-characters` because when I think about it they get just about if not as much development as our main couple. tl:dr I'm liking this anime a lot so far and this episode made me realize that a lot. |
| Might as well rename this "couple goals: the anime". |
My Queens  |
| Love that kabedon reaction! *replay x10* |
 |
| This was a really cute episode :') |
| Whew got intense there... a couple of times. But Christmas is here and... Adults don't get to have fun during the Holidays like kids. They do eat out at fancy restaurants though. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Kabakura and Koyanagi dynamic is great |
 |
| I feel that whilst the artwork suffered in this episode, it was still very enjoyable. Finally I'm loving a romcom where I love all the characters <3. Nice Christmas episode with a very cute ending. Gotta love Koyanagi <3 |

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I'm 90% sure Narumi is with Hirotaka just for convenience, she hasn't demonstrate her fellings for him not even once, and is alwyays Hirotaka the one who has to take the initiative in the relantionship. What a bitch. They both are Otaku but she hardly understand or has something in common with him. Even so, she seem to understand Kabakura and Hirotaka's brother pretty well. |
| The MELT reference was awesome!! It's my favorite Vocaloid/Miku song ever!!!! |
| Senjougahara: Don't call me "this chick" Araragi: Then what should I call you? Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama. Araragi: SEN - JOU - GA - HAA - RAA - SAA - MAA Senjougahara: I don't like the way you say it. Say it properly. Araragi: Senjougahara-chan~ |
| Kabakura getting a box as a christmas gift Koyonagi knows how to make a man happy she deserves another round of MEAT! |
 |
| The little brother is too pure. I want an episode just about him |
| modge |
| Both of them forgetting their umbrella was hillarious. |
| I simply fail to connect with this show like others do. I think the 2 MC's simply don't work for me. Instead of seeing the characters for themselves, I see the effort of a screenwriter to appear funny but it just falls flat and the uninteresting. I'm well aware I'm in a minority in this regard so I'll just excuse myself with the classic "It wasn't for me" |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Well, as usual, the humor itself was pretty meh, the redeeming factor was Narumi's cuteness (and in like 4/6 eps so far pretty much the biggest and only asset of the show). At least it has an relaxing atmosphere. |
