it's CGI! Hilarious ep.
They made match girl epic, quite smart crossover with kasajiro, 47 ronin & magical girl.
Shouta trap looks fab.

Well, that was an interesting version of The Little Match Girl.

Also, I really want to know what was in Tohru's gift for Kobayashi.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

One of the better episodes I think. I loved seeing all the characters together and there was plenty of Elma.

The theatre play was excellent!
Kanna so cute touching Kobayashi's cheek!
Fafnir is already too much of a VR FPS FFA gamer addict!
Fafnir as a director is fairly strict!
Shouta cross-dressing as a girl is the perfect Trap!
Kanna is perfect as the lead actor! She so MOE on the scene "matchi"!
Even Fafnir is engrossed about Mahou Shoujo!
LOL at Kobayashi's reaction, the Chimney came true! and later the Chimney became a Red Light District! lolz
The play was awesome because it has so many jumbled-up sources! from the match story to mahou shoujo and even 47 Ronin!
LOL Kanna is still eagerly waiting for Santa and Kobayashi couldn't get out of her room lol.
5/5!

CGI!!! LOL!!
The old guys sure know what CGI is (^_^)

Kanna waiting for Santa to show up. Yup, Most of us were probably like that back as kids. Staying up all night hoping to see the bearded man climb down the chimney and leave presents while also eating grandma's cookies. Poor Kobayashi forced to sleep on the floor xD

I liked the flying scene. Tohru went all happy at the end.

I'm sorry I'm saying this but I want less focus on Kanna.

Agreed. If anything, Fafnir deserves more screentime. His developing relationship with Takiya is perhaps the best subplot of the show. Wish the writers show him more love.

Otherwise, a pretty good episode like always.

Well if you are going in the yaoi direction I will have to disagree. If you are talking about his life in it's entirety then I agree.

Don't see it as homosexual at all lol, just both of them being bros and Takiya helping Fafnir to survive in the human world.

It's wonderful seeing all the characters together.

I love seeing Elma whenever I can. I wish she was on-screen with the others more.

Aww Kanna patting Riko on the head after she got scared of Fafnir <3

This little match girl thing is pretty popular, I've seen it in Anime, manga, doramas, etc.

That random chimney in Kobayashi's apartment lol just because little Kanna wanted Santa to come.

Best magical girl goes to Shouta. Shouta has always been best girl from the start.

I wanna know what Tohru gave Kobayashi as a present, it was blurred out! NOT FAIR!

What is up with Tohru's hate towards God? XD is it because she is a chaos-dragon and thus opposed to the foreces of good (like the dragons of harmony)... Oh! and in case you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about: Tohru says sha "I hate to celebrate the birthday of that guy" about christmas XD

The play was very funny and random. I don't think the dragons understood the story, but it's nice to see something different. (They even thought the grandma killed the girl in the original. lmao) The whole fairy+mahou shoujo thing was so silly and over the top! xD But looks like the elders enjoyed it, which is the most important thing. Fafnir refusing to bow in front of the "inferior humans" when the play was over was a nice detail in order to maintain his persona.
I liked how Tohru and Kanna made a new chimney and put lights on it so Santa could find them.
The party after the play looked very entertaining and comfy. Kobayashi and Tohru had a nice time flying together, too. (Maybe Kobayashi drank too much beer and that's why she wanted to fly? Hyped Tohru after getting the scarf was too fast for her, though.)
That final scene. lol Cracking wooden floors are the sneaking people's number 1 enemy, I know it from my own experience! xD Kanna spent more than 2 hours on full alert while Kobayashi hid next to the bed... poor woman. xD


Omg everything makes sense now! This can't be a coincidence. So awesome!

Boy I had so much fun with this episode! The play was so funny and fun to watch, especially because they changed most of The Little Match Girl story to their own accord. Top tier adaptation, disney who???? Fafnir wasn't so bad of an actor after all, wish he could get more screen time. Also, I relate to Saikawa so much.

was such a great episode. Nice idea of bringing in a new theme that let's the characters put in their comedy. Like their naive thinking about Santa Claus. Also, nice small detail with Kanna poking and patting peoples heads.

As for the play, it's actually a brilliant idea. It really let's the characters fulfill their comedic potential, and it's a great way to ridicule all the cliches (that i am personally so tired of) so it was a huge bonus for me

* Christmas is a cute theme.

* Everyone's new holiday costumes are so adorable! ♥

* It feels nice to have all the dragons in the same episode.

* I'm so glad that Faf was in the play.

* Everyone getting together and enjoying themselves.

* More Dragon-Tohru is a dream too!

* Tohru getting more affection (and a cute scarf) from Kobayashi ♥

My favorite episode thus far!

-The audition and rehearsal scenes were hilarious throughout and each character received spotlight in the episode that allowed them to really showcase their eccentricities and added to their endearment. As for that play, I don't know what the fuck I just watched but it was fucking awesome.

-D'aww, Kanna waiting for Santa Claus and Kobayashi failing XD

-Kobayashi and Tohru exchanging gifts :D

The first thing that came into my mind when Shota was introduced a few episodes ago was: 'He'll be a great subject for cute girly outfits (Basically a trap) because of his appearance!' And now that happened XD

You know that Fafnir is already very influenced by the 'modern cultures'(?) at this point when he starts to talk about magical girls and Virtual Reality, First Frame Shotter, Free For All...

This episode surpassed last one. More main-side characters are interacting together and Fafnir is even here! more hilarious and adorable moments so yeah... Nice
