Really liked this episode. Hope they consider each other as friends because it would be nice to have more episodes like this one.
Oh, Christmas...the best time of the year.
That ending...looks scary.

This was a nice bonding episode for Chise and Alice :)

Aww, Chise is excited for something and is looking forward to waking up tomorrow. I wonder what she got for Christmas :D

it was a pretty and cozy episode. but i wish the mistletoe scene wasn't there cuz Chise's too young still.
the sign went like "Christmas menu... fish chips" lmao christmas fish & chips! what's with these blokes' reaction though? girls are not supposed to have a good appetite or something? sounds progressive

I don't use English subs, so I was puzzled on what that boy that bumped into Chise's name was. What the fuck is Ee-san!?

Had to think for a while before realising it was probably Ethan.

Drifted in and out of the episode. Twas ok I guess.

Btw, what's with that restaurant scene? Is seeing 2 girls eating supposed to be funny?


The eating is explained better in the manga. They ordered a ridiculous amount of food and ate it all, probably enough for six people.

It is not unusual for those with magic abilities to eat more. We have not been shown enough scenes with Silky putting out large quantities of food on the table and having it disappear in one sitting.

Just the main point I made in my research paper about how manga has all the missing pieces an anime does not show due to time because usually the audience has already read the manga before the anime was released. The manga readers fill in the gaps on their own.

One of my favorite episodes so far. I loved the scene where Alice is patching up Renfred. It randomly got to me when she started crying. This man that barely knew her sacrificed half of his face to protect her. I don't know, the pure emotion got me for sure. Excited to see where this show winds up.

This episode became one of my favourites X3 I liked seeing the Christmas spirit and also the kiss Elias and Chise shared and the way they cared for one another was very sweet too ^^ Chise is growing more friendly as time passes by <3

That sand guy is up to no good...

damnit... why can't there be two consecutive episodes with a peaceful ending... Every time they have to ruin the peace with introducing the topic of the next episode >.<

rant aside this was another nice episode. It was obvious Elias noticed Chise going but I didn't think the weird thing in the background was sent by him :P And it was interesting finding out more about Alice and Renfred. Looks like they are somewhat similar to Chise and Elias. And not just because of the student - teacher relationship as it looked like before.

The little mistletoe kisses were adorbs C:

LOLOLOL I loved every bit of Chise and Alice's encounter with her old druggie plugs xD from the dick kick to the foaming of the mouth to Ruth's intimidating growl. It was PERF. I replayed Ruth's growl so much bc it was amazing. It's rare we get to see him that angry *O* whatta sight! <3 He's so strongggggg <33333

If this were a game, it'd be like:
Elias learned new move: ANGER
xDDD

It's so funny to me how he can make stuffed bears, but burns his soup LMAO

Although I'm not sure I like how they're dropping all these backstories one after the other... ^^' It kinda throws off the pacing imo. But whuttevs.

Me: Heh, that guy holding a paper bag kinda looks like he has drugs. Drugs don't happen in anime, though.

Alice: I don't do drugs anymore.

Me: HOLY FU-

Im watching this in sub, does she say Autumn in the dub? No one here calls it fall.
The queen is pregnant
Bone kiss
Been a lot of centaurs in recent episodes

London again

Are the gonna go Harrods?

Those are big burgers

Why did no one notice the dog when he disappeared at the station?

I wonder what accents those dealers had in the dub

Is silky killing the sorceresses bird(s)?

Was that the boy from the station before the credits?

As in the previous episode, in which the narration binds, albeit indirectly, the various characters, even the secondary ones, even in this episode the same thing happens and we see how Elias and Angelica have known each other for a very long time; this aspect, does nothing but increase the charisma of this soul that manages to have this aspect too not so of secondary importance, rather the contrary. Episode that sheds light on two characters so far only hinted at and show other aspects of the world to which Elias and also Chise belong, now. Good quality drawings, backgrounds and animations. Also this time the narration is very funny, and melancholy at the same time.

LOL at Elias saying his waist felt tingly after kissing Chise.

Wow, Alice used to be have a drug addiction but now she's clean. She's fictional but I'm proud of her. I know a few people who had to go through the same thing and they take a lot of pride in being clean for many years and I also feel proud of them.

No wonder she really loves Renfred.

A part of me wishes I saw this episode 3 days later, since it's Christmas Eve then. Still though, I really did make the right choice seeing this show again now, especially at a place where it's now snowing too in Canada compared to when I was watching this show weekly during release, where it was in a desert country with no snow at all.

It was a really sweet episode, nice to see Chise and Alice have some long overdue girl talk where Alice talks about her past a little bit towards Chise when they were deciding on what gifts they wanted to get for people they cherish a lot (Chise being Elias, Alice being Renfred). Chise's gift to Elias was nice but Elias one-upped her in my opinion with that teddy bear. Reminded me of a gift that I got one of my best friends for Christmas during a secret Santa except that was way, way larger and probably taller than her. It was also nice to see a setting change, going back to the city of London with a regular crowd for a change. It gives a reminder that they are in a normal world, just with the addition of fairy kingdoms and other lands too surrounding magical/fantasy/supernatural beings. Chise finally having a family for Christmas and optimism to look forward to like a child, great to see that.

The teddy bear is even funnier when you consider angelica is over 100 years old. She ages slowly due to interacting with fey, like lindel. One of the grand distinction between a mage and sorcerer/alchemist.

I felt a sense of guilty pleasure within me as I watched Chise and Elias kiss each other on the cheek. I blushed but I thought "why would I blush at this scene?" uhhh but it was sweet anyway!

Just what this show needed: some quality girl time, and an episode in which being not chaperoned by Elias doesn't lead to mortal peril for Chise.

Alice's backstory was nice and we got Silky's episode.

I like how Elias was angry (?) at Chise going out on her own without saying anything, even if it was just to buy him a Christmas present. He had a very, very valid concern of how often Chise finds trouble by simply walking around. That aside, t'was a nice and uneventful Christmas episode.
