Karen is finally in Japan and is making Alice jealous especially after Karen kisses Shinobu which melted my heart.

Engrish quality in this episode is great as always but there's a lot more personality when Alice and Karen are speaking English together.

I don't know who's better as a shipped pair, Alice x Shinobu or Karen x Shinobu, they both seem fine as it is.

All the characters are great in their own way, but Shinobu is the one who makes this series. So she wants to be Alice's mother and her dog?

And she's obsessed with blonde hair.

Hmm... Karen promised to return a pencil... so her entire family migrated to Japan in order for her to do so?
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

"I'd have a girl on each arm" xD

Aya is even more of waifu material esp. when her dream is to be a bride.

Shino's face at Karen and Alice's reunion was priceless xD Karen really became one of my favs. That half-broken english is adorable. I love Alice's mother's english. Even Karen's mom is a beauty. Shino is so obsessed with blonde hair xD

Alice was totally adorable when jealous.

"Ayaya. Ayaya. Ayaya" Go girls, tease my waifu more xD

"I wanted to return the pencil I borrowed from you" XD

That kiss! And Yoko's comments on it were hilarious. I loved how they were talking in english. As impressive as ever.

Aya, Shino and Yoko younger's forms were so cute. That sensei actually fell asleep while standing. Why is everyone so adorable in this anime?

Alice is in Shino "Fan" club :p That flashback was shown due to which I fell in love with Karen's character design. Great job to her. Aya and Yoko's friendship is so cute.

I am still in love in love with the ending song. One of th best ending songs this season!

Oh so Alice has a cute childhood friend and pretty mother. Nice.

So wait, that's Karen. Oh God, she's cute as well in that Union outfit. Honestly though, the English spoken in this series is brilliant. Her name seems to have a definition as well. That's something..The English talk was funny too I guess. Dem Teriyaki.

This is the KAREN episode and she surely did not disappoint !!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

As always such a tranquil mood lifter show. And Karen is gorgeous, hope she makes friends with that girl.

I feel so bad for Alice-chan, the whole episode was about Shino crushing her heart, poor soul. The show is still very dangerous to my heart, several scenes where one could get a heart attack from cuteness overdose. 4/5. The subtext is welcome of course.

Kallen from CG is also half Japanese, half Britannian.

Given that,their names are also the same. (Karen)

Youko mentioned that half-Japanese usually have name that are normal in the language of both parents, such as Karen.
Is it really like that in real case ?

Yeah, it's quite possible though the spelling will probably change but not the pronounciation in most cases. For example; from the show Naomi, and possibly Sara, Luka/Ruka (European), Riki/Ricky, Ken, and there are probably tons of Chinese/Korean names that are also used in Japan.

Was nice to see Karen try so hard she is a interesting character and her way of speech was interesting.
Seeing Alice get jealous was cute in it's own way.

As she was in the previous episode, Alice was jealous in this episode as well.
Because Karen became good friends with Shino, and Shino is now obssessed with the new blonde girl, Alice now needs to protect her position of Shino's best friend.

Well, I don't know if a British girl in general kisses her girl friends on the cheek by custom. but it seems that Karen also likes Shino so much. So Shino now has a cute blonde girl in each arm as she expected.

Youko works fast - she snatched her waifu before everyone had the chance to. Seeing Shinobu fail she promised not make the same mistake and dealt her cards with precision and confidence; thus were the conquests of Youko, ZA WAIFU was succesfully obtained.

On the other hand Shinobu's Englamania pisses me off at some times. Not enough to make complain about the show though.
