| I'm starting to get this really serious vibe from the show. |
| Ohhhh.. so Ryuji is starting to slowly realize now that he also like Taiga?!?!?! hehe.. interesting... |
| I really like the new opening and the new ending is nice, too. I noticed that Kitamura got less time in the OP than the girls and wan't even in the ED, but that's appropriate since he got his spotlight already. Gee, I wonder what could be wrong with Minorin. i rly wna no. Such a weeeird girl. Just gotta wait and see. Taiga was really cute in this ep, but the best part was Kitamura face-kneeling on the floor, haha. Also, that one minor girl actually got screentime and did something interesting for once, which was neat. |
| I will fondly miss the Pre-Parade op :( But now there so much drama that this show is going to become a frickin' soap opera! :O Somebody's gunna die and I definitely think Taigi would have the niche fo killing! |
| I don't know how I feel about the new development with Ryuuji and his feelings for Taiga. I would have preferred him to end up with someone else - preferably Ami. I guess I'll reserve judgement until I see what happens. I like how this show makes good use of events to bring out character interactions. This Christmas party should be interesting just like the summer trip and cultural festival were. I like the new OP and ED. This show has a high rewatch value for me and I definitely see myself watching this again in the summertime. This is probably going to be my 2nd favorite anime after Clannad/Clannad ~AS~ |

| The new OP and ED are not bad, but the first OP is still much better than these. I wonder why Minorin got two of the 4 songs all to herself, while the other two are all 3 girls. It's not like Minorin is the main girl or anything. I like how Kitamura was left out from both of the new ones (He appears in the OP, but not at the very beginning). Taiga was incredibly cute throughout the episode :) I wonder what the heck is up with Minorin. Could she be in love with Ryuuji and jealous of Taiga being so close to him? |

| Kawaiiii!!!! Taiga in a good mood and happy is even more adorable than usual!!! :D |

| Old OP is so much better than the new OP. However The new ED is nice. I like oranges :3 Also has anyone seen Hachi: A dog's tale. They referenced it directly in this episode |
| Trust me, the new OP will grow on you. |
 Check out this animation yo! [/center] |
| I prefer the last OP and ED, but they aren't bad. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Poor Inko! Shoving a cooking book in front of him... xD Now feeling are all fucked up, Minori love Ryuugi, Ryuugi love Taiga, Taiga love Kitamura and Kitamura seem to love no one. Wonder how things will turn. Minori has changed too much, I miss the madly happy Minori :( |

| ^ The other way around in my opinion. She is avoiding him because she loves him. And all those feels from previous episode... too many feels that could not be fixed in this episode.. |
 |
| Taiga x Takasu? Noooo. It will probably end that way tho... Ami x Takasu would be much better. |
| Omg there are so many love triangles right now. The Inko part was hilarious. Anyone else think the ED's are way better than the OP's? |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| And this love stuff is getting complicated again. I liked more the previous OP and ED. |
| I like the previous OP, but I feel like the current OP's lyrics fit the series better. I died when Taiga walked in on Ryuuji and Ya-cchan bowing down to Inko. XD |
 |
| I liked neither OP nor ED... |
 |
| Love is going to get really really confusing now. |
 |
| don't like new OP and ED I am confused what is happening in the plot at this point o.o Hope they will explain some stuff bit more within the next few ep |
 |
| that orange girl knows it all, she must be magical |
 |
| Taiga seemed so out of character this episode. I like her much more this way. Well, I called it; Ryuuji x Taiga is going down. |

| Oh my, the did it again.. Kushieda and Kitamura were forced to do their obvious comedy bit in the beginning and wasn't funny at all. They are trying way too hard to make them unlikable so Takasu and Aisaka would be OTP. Radio comedy after that was also bad and it was waste of time when they could do something more meaningful. Basicallly whole first part of this episode was needless. And Minorin sure has her days, right? Does she even has a reason to act this way? Or is she still having her guilty feelings? Oh, and Kiraha actually likes Kitamura too, very interesting.. so now they'll be partners in crime with Takasu. Has he finally realized his feelings? New OP was worse, new ED better, that's how I see it. |
| Really love Xmas so I loved this episode. New Op and ED sound alright, I'm sure they will grow on me as I hear them more. |
 |
| Man kind of disappointing that Ami doesn't get enough screen time. I don't see what Ryuuji sees in Minorin. I know she was all energetic in stuff, but nah. I originally liked Minorin's character but she has been falling off the map. |
| wtd did just happen on this episode? All characters act in a weird manner compared to previous episodes, it's like their personalities changed suddenly without explanation... especially Taiga being the complete opposite of what she usually is... just because of Christmas? Come on, this is strange. |
| Wow, Taiga is actually more annoying than usual. |
 |
| I dont like the direction it is heading :( |
| I expected something like this. It was obvious, he is spending a lot of time with Taiga, it's only natural that he is falling in love with her. I'm pretty sure that it works in opposite way, Taiga likes him too but she didn't realize that yet. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
I like the new OP better than the last one. So, things are finally taking "that" turn. I mean, to unite Ryuuji with Taiga. It doesn't surprise me, it was quite predictable to be honest. Some relationships are getting stuck, like Ryuuji with Minori. She is aware of his feelings and maybe she's trying to avoid to reject him directly. So, the other friends of Ami are going to become recurring characters, ok ok. Let's see how it goes, altho I expect them to be just plot devices. PD: The radio show was hilarious xD Poor Yuri sensei jajaja. kokyo said: ^That bird is so intelligent, probably 3 times more intelligent than other birds |

| Minori is probably in love with Kitamura, and she feels bad about being happy that he was rejected, at least that's what I think. Taiga is a kawaii ai no tenshi. |
 |
| that bald cap is fucking annoying and new op sucks |

Veretax said: oh the dilemma... Tiaga still loves Kitamura..... and Ryuji is starting to feel close to her too. But she doesn't see it does she? It so obvious that minorin is feeling conflicted. She sort of pushed the two of them together, and I think her thoughts about Ryuji, she feels guilty for starting it all. Seems like someone will have to save her or she'll be miserable for a long time. no she is not still in love with Kitamura, did u forget her pool confession??? next she said i mean it as hes my dog, that was a excuse cause she hasn't realizer her feelings for Ryuji yet & second i don't think she ever loved Kitamura that way, i think it wasn't more then childish crush or admiration that she mixed up with love, u know sometimes it happens with ppl they think they are in love with that person & later discover they just admired that person & they really love some1 else |
ReilaNimu said: Uh, I am curious as to what is wrong with Minori. Is she avoiding Ryuuji simply because she realized he likes her? If so, that is kinda childish. Seems like Ryuuji is finally realizing he likes Taiga. nope she realized that she likes Ryuuji & also cause she knows Ryuuji & Taiga love each other ao_no_exo said: ^ The other way around in my opinion.

| I think the new OP reflects a tonal shift in the storytelling. Most of the eps now are getting more serious and heartfelt, so the show has began to feel more mature than in its earlier episodes which were fluffier. I like this transition. It gives Minori and Kitamura a lot more depth than they had before. |
| The Santa thing with Taiga was pretty silly, but also quite adorable ^_^ |
ops! Ryuuji confused about his feelings. by the way opening is damn good... |
