Sylphinford and Umaru having fun~

Looks like it's the Winter holiday season. Interesting. Mini Sylphinford is so adorable! Did she really believe in Santa? Lol. Ebina also had some cute momens with Umaru's bro. Good for her.

Umaru with a santa hat looks strangely adorable.

Best episode by far for now.

It was so heartwarming, the whole episode really. Sylphyn as a kid is something i didn't know i wanted to see. She needs to be protected at all costs!!!

Also her feeling alone was sad, UMR-san got her to think of a different approach to get friends and it worked out nicely for her, she looks genuinely happy now.

Ebina listening to Sylphyn who got her advice from UMR-san (Umaru) was also nice to see and she's opening up more and more to Taihei.

Umaru helping out her friends like that and realizing that she shouldn't be like this at her home was nice character development, Taihei leaving got me for a few seconds, that was really sad xD

This was a really good episode, I'm really enjoying this season so far. I was never really a big fan of Umaru season 1, it felt like a lot of the comedy was really forced and I'd probably rate it like 6/10. Then comes along season 2 and within first like 2 episodes it jumps to a solid 8/10, I'm really enjoying all the character development this season with Sylphin and the others etc.

I doubt it, Nana probably got too nervous to admit to him. In the Nana spin off manga she does tell Taihei that she loves him but that is apparently in the future at some point (I think it said 3 years in the future). However that could be interpreted in many ways, i.e they could start dating some time before that but it takes her 3 years to actually say "I love you". The writer did it on purpose to make it vague and to promote speculation.

However I feel like she might confess before the end of this season, so far she seems a lot more confident in her feelings and knows that it's not just a crush (there is a big part of the spin off manga where she tells her other friends about it and decides that she will confess to him) so she might admit to him at some point this season. Also Taihei has been blushing a lot when talking to her whereas in season 1 he spoke completely normally to her so I feel like they are building to something this season. Since there was a like 3 year gap between seasons they might not be planning to make a 3rd and if that's the case then they might resolve the Nana and Taihei situation before the end of the season (hopefully).

Ahh I really liked this episode!

Finally Ebina's getting closer and closer with Taihei, and Umaru - chan's getting kinder as the episodes go on.

Also Sylphynford was reallyyy cute being portrayed as a chibi/child version~

Really looking forward to more episodes ^^

Afro got into the anilive quite fast lol. I don't think I would enjoy those type of events.
Sylphi is so cute when she speaks of UMR. It's nice how the four of them became good friends.

Ohoh, did Ebina confess there? Looking at their reactions the day after probably not yet. But she did tell him something, wonder what.

I think this season is a big ass improvement to the first because it's actually making Umaru develop as a character and becoming more sociable towards people. Which is good and all because I think if anything this would most likely let people get more passable with the series.

Being fairly honest this is actually the best episode so far for Umaru-chan R. Like even for Christmas specials its just such a treat to watch.

Great episode. The first segment about Sylphin was way too heartwarming.

I literally have no problem into giving this a 10 out of 10, its miles away from first season, Major Character development, Heartwarming moments... Can't wait to see the faces of those people that disliked this anime just because Umaru was Unbearable

Amazing episode, It almost made me tear up, probably the best so far <3

It added more personality to most characters which was nice. But is took a whole 16 episodes for umaru to realize that she's selfish and oni-chan is kind.

What a cute episode I have ever watched today! I wish my christmas would be like this. It was so nice seeing Sylphyn-chan together with her friends. The new year moment was funny too. This anime never fails to make me feel relaxed. I also love the development of characters compare to its previous season.

Surprisingly good episode for Umaru standards in my opinion

Sylphin has definitely gained some points in my book now that she has a more develop backstory, I just hope they do one for each of the girls (Ebina and Kirie extended backstory will give me diabetes but it´s totally worth seeing it).

I'm feeling that the story is slowly going somewhere, not like s1 when things were just too static. I´m starting to believe son!

Bruuuh, Umaru made Taihei sad. Waaah. He just wanted to bake a cake for Umaru for Christmas, but at least Umaru felt she made his big brother sad. Haha.

Umaru spent the Christmas with Sylphin, Ebina, and Kirie. They had their Christmas Party which was organized by Sylphin at her house. While Taihei spent Christmas with Alex and Bomba-san at an anime concert. Haha. Alex is such a cutie.

Sylphin really owe UMR a lot for helping her make friends with them four now. Aww. She's so precious. Apparently, UMR enlighten her on how to make friends in a right way. And Sylphin battling Umaru in class was just her way on befriending her. Haha.

Young Sylphin was so cute. Waaah. Her cheeks. :3 And her first wish to Santa was to have Japanese friends. Haha. Then it turned into a console or any strange things like what Santa said. That scene with Umaru surprising Sylphin as UMR wearing a Santa costume, though. Awww. :')

Oh the struggles of Umaru and I was so scared that she'll continue to lie about getting a double allowance from Taihei. Jeez. If she did, I'm gonna hate her so much. Haha. Her debate with her own selves. Jesus. Hahaha. Weird giving a friend of yours a New Year allowance like what? Haha! Anyhoo, at least Umaru give it back.

Umaru just realized that her big brother is SUPER nice? Jesus, Umaru! And after all this time she's actually SELFISH? I wanna pinch her cheeks so bad I s2g. Hahaha. You're like the luckiest imouto to have that kind of big brother!

Taihei is going on a business trip and Umaru thought it'll be for a month or a year, then when she found out it's for 2 weeks, she made this face:



HAHAHAHAHA! Yet another gloriously hilarious episode. Hahaha! Everyone in this show will be the death of me I s2g.

Sylphi makes her a lion in this second series, I'm sorry. Fun and constructive also this time, I'm loving this second season, especially because there is a lot of talk about interpersonal relationships and Umaru's growth is constant. I look forward to knowing the new character unveiled a few days ago.

Alex was so hardcore and passionate on that idol performances with those dual light wand sabers!
It's a good thing that Umaru decided to go back at Sylphin has UMR!
That cute loli back story of Sylphin was very adorable!
Very funny part of this episode was when Umaru reversed her tears as soon as she knew that her brother would only be gone for just two weeks! haha LOLZ!

What a heartwarming episode! The girls hanging out was fun, and that Santa outfit was really cute too. Not to mention the guys going to an anime concert LOL XD I'm glad they enjoyed at least. Plus Sylphyn as a kid was pretty cute too, and Alex with his Japanese internet friend XD I love that Umaru is becoming more self-aware about Taihei's kindness and her selfishness at the end. Hm, I wonder what Ebina talked to him about though? :O Maybe asked for love advice or something XD Either way looks like we won't get any Taihei next week which is too bad, but maybe it'll make Umaru realize how much he does for her :P

Really good episode. Lots of heartwarming moments on Christmas. Little Sylphen was so adorable, all she wanted was some friends. It's too bad her brother left her all alone, but she was able to find solace in games and anime. It was nice to see Umaru go out of her way to make Sylphen's Christmas extra special.

Ahhhh I want to know what Taihei and Ebina talked about! Do you really think Ebina confessed? Maybe she asked vaguely about confessing to someone she likes so Taihei wouldn't catch on.

Looks like Umaru is realizing she treats her brother like garbage. It's good to see development this season.

Yup. Favorite episode of the season so far.
The previous couple of episodes made me think Umaru was becoming a little less selfish this season, and this episode she even starts reflecting on her past behavior. Our little gremlin is becoming self-aware! Btw, what she did for Sylphin was very kind. Everything with the New Year's money was hilarious, though, even if Umaru goes back to her regular ways every now and then. She may drive her brother crazy, but you can't deny those two siblings have a strong bond. Especially in the last segment of this episode, despite how it all ended lol.

Little Sylphin is adorable. Resonated with her love for fighting games and how they can bring you into this cool community of people. And she has good taste in fight sticks! "Horu." hahaha.

Christmas episode! This episode was so great!
We can clearly see that Umaru is growing up! This anime will end up so nice.
So this explains a lot of things about Sylphy and why she acted like that, glad that UMR helped her to understand that and now she can be friends with Umaru ;)
So apparently Ebina revealed her feelings to Taihei :D Really nice xD Loved their reaction when they met on the next day xD
This anime is getting even better! Loving it.
Glad that they all had fun in Christmas ;)
