Minami-ke is nearing it's end, but Okawari is right around the corner.
This was yet another great episode, though minami-ke tend to leave me speachless.

My dear weak spacenoids. THAT LEVEL OF LOVE CAN'T BREAK MY BODY OF STEEL!

I agree, ep 11 was the pinnacle of hilarity so far.. this was still a really good episode. I wish they showed more of the love-square-of-misunderstandings though.. I love the Banchou =D

I just love the Minami brothers. Hilarious about how they are having meetings about what to get Touma for Christmas even when she's right in the room with them.

I love Christmas themed episodes <3

My most favorite one yet! Every pieces were amusing. I like Kana in this episode, for keeping Chiaki's hopes up and being a nice sister. She was abused verbally and physically xD

That one Minami brother's memory of half-dressed Haruka was nice.

His immediate blood-loss/loss-of-consciousness was hilarious.

She's apparently used to it now, since it's what they do every single year -- so much that they end up not buying anything and not celebrating on time. Aw.

I thought the dubbed intro was funny and I dont understand what people are so up in arms about. Purists i guess. *shrug*

12 was indeed great, I liked how they completley forgot their relative was coming as santa and left him in the cold.

"brothers. screw you and get me a soccer ball and spikes" haha.

and i always feel SO bad for fujioka. kana called him the hamu guy D= hahaaa. the clips would have been madd cute.

oh, and the whole bear thing was funny also.

i'm upset this show is almost over. i mean, i'm going to watch okawari but its not a sequel, just a spinoff/adaptation type thing.

There were better episodes than this but still I liked it. I still don't understand why he gave her the ham, maybe because he knows she likes to eat? LOL

Another really good episode, the next one will be the last.
I hear people say that the season 2 and 3 aren't as good, but I'm hoping for the best.
Fujioka needs to man up and just give presents to her, him failing every time is funny but also sad.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Meat as a christmas present?? Oh, Fujioka.. Well, at least he's happy

Episode that introduces us to the Christmas spirit, we have once again, the opportunity to know a little better the family of Touma.
In the narrative there are some really funny moments, the best is the final one in which Fujioka takes literally the words of Kana on how to make gifts; in addition to all this, is introduced into the family Minami, the famous Chiaki's teddy.
How nice Touma from child.

I like how it was this episode when I finally re-clocked the bear in the opening and thought, 'I've haven't seen that thing yet.'

I think it's a three way tie between Fujioka, Makoto and Touma as to who my favorite person from the side is.

The "good-for-nothing" brothers remind me of Uchouten Kazoku.

The best moment for me where the 2 guys in front of their door. "We have it tough." I like how they added a moment of exaggerated melancholy fitting to Christmas movies.

I also like the bear. :D
