THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Christmas huh? I wasn't ready for this. Karen looks cute in a Santa hat I guess. I liked the atmosphere of this episode but damn, Christmas won't be another few months till here ;.; I can't take Karen seriously though. LOL, she wore kimono to a class..  |
Ep. talking about Christmas. So there's different meanings between Japan and England. lol @ Ayaya's dajare about Karen. Christmas party! lol rock from England. New Year's eve? So fast. Scary sister!! Karen's wearing costumes for each festival! Somehow Alice forgot Japanese, and the uniform is different. It was the nightmare's fault, which she thought Shinobu became hating her. Just Alice becoming more Japanese than normal Japanese. End of the year... lol @ Alice's dream. Next is final? I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
ohayoko Shino's present to Alice. Oh dear. I loved that whole scene where Alice "lost" the ability to speak Japanese. The stuff she was saying was just so ridiculously random, and weird (yorkshire pudding with honey? what?)

Alice speaking English again. That present from Shino to Alice lol.  |
This show...I just can't ever say anything bad about it. Every episode is just sooo amazing~ Alice has learned the art of gift-giving, but Shino's still pretty dense about things xD Alice has some scary nightmares... And, too bad we couldn't see more of Ayaya's dreams ;) kuuderes_shadow said: ohayoko Shino's present to Alice. Oh dear. I loved that whole scene where Alice "lost" the ability to speak Japanese.

My ships! Aya dreaming of Yoko, Alice and Shino, god, so cute. I love them so much. I'm so sad that it'll end next week :'( (And Karen saying she wants to be a samourai was just xD)  |
One more ep... I'm gonna miss this anime =( Also, Shino really really REALLY likes england. A stone, eh? Also, I would have liked to see Santayaya =) And poor alice, dreaming of Shino leaving her for a "more english" girl. Don't worry, you have still blue eyes and blond hair to go for you, alice! I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
Huh a Christmas episode, but it was enjoyable. Haha Karen wearing a Kimino in class was unusual, and I felt lost when Alice started speaking English well I think it was a set up when she saw Shinobu in her dreams being to dark. Well great episode. |
Ahh... this Christmas episode is exactly what I needed. |
Lol, not sure why she had to say such random things when speaking English. But yeah was always kind of curious as to the English level of normal Japanese people, don't really trust anime as a good source, but this series has made me even more curious about it. |
Hehe hearing Alice scream was so cute... also I'm glad I got to hear more english lines, Only 1 episode left. |
Cute episode. Poor Alice. Her dreams are so sadly lol worthy XD Karen hilarious as usual. Wearing a Kimono to school XD Last ep nxt week T_T  |
Alice's dream at the end was great, she ended up being the pet lol. Next is last, i will miss it.  |
Shino's present... Maybe if the British isles are blown out of the map it will become more precious, but... giving a (random) rock brought from England to an English girl... OT: Barion and Stiches' avatar XD |
Finally we get to hear Alice speak english again but half of what she was saying didn't make sense to me lol  |
Surprisingly hilarious. Really got caught off guard with Karen's and Alice's antics especially. That English is something else! It's a shame there's only one more episode left. Probably the second best "new" series to air in 2013 imo (behind Shinsekai Yori), considering that Tamayura and Monogatari are sequels to ongoing series. |
My Aya x Yoko ship gets better and better. One more ep! :(  |
Great episode!!!  |
Isami running in with that wooden blade was funny, especially Alice reaction towards it. That must have been one nightmare for her to even lose Japanese speech for a while, she got over it pretty fast tho. Normally in anime Japanese schools seem pretty strict about dress code but seeing how often the girls appear with different outfits at the school that doesn't seem to be the case here. |
Anime school could have lax limitation, such as "as long as you use the uniform blazer", or one of the variations of uniform available. Isami probably thought there's a thief or something when hearing Alice screams. And Alice speaks English because she thought Shino hate her for becoming too "Japanese". Poor girl *hugs* |
Ah, Alice speaking english...I loved it xD What she said was random but I thought it was somewhat poetic. I thought she was reciting a poem at first, until she mentioned Poppy. I don't ship Aya and Yoko but I don't mind it and it's practically canon :P  |
At this rate Ayaya will start to have wet dreams with Youko in no time >_< There was one scene that confused me, when Alice and Shino were in their room and said that love (snow) will start falling soon, suminee started to shiver, was it because she does not like her Shino yuri inclinations (more like Shino would hump anything blonde)? |
Did Alice really get a rock and a few photos of Shino for christmas?  |

Now i really want to go to Cotswolds. That town is like coming out of fairy tale. Dù cho biển cạn núi mòn, Server còn chạy, ta còn chơi game. |
Anime Japanese girls going to school in winter with bare legs always gives me shivers. Not to mention Karen in her Santa's costume after the party... get some tights, for the love of God! |
It's been a while since I heard Alice speak a lot of English so I enjoyed this one a lot. What a hilarious and cute ep. The dream at the end left me in stitches. |
A rock? Really? |
Aversa said: Isami running in with that wooden blade was funny, especially Alice reaction towards it. That must have been one nightmare for her to even lose Japanese speech for a while, she got over it pretty fast tho. She never lost it, she was faking it to make Shino like her again. She slipped out of her role a few times whenever something was said that bothered her. Normally in anime Japanese schools seem pretty strict about dress code but seeing how often the girls appear with different outfits at the school that doesn't seem to be the case here. Well, they did say that Karen was lucky to not have been spotted by anyone when she was wearing the kimono. Still, I agree that they seem to have a fairly relaxed dress code nonetheless, given Alice's pink vest and Karen's Union Jack parka that they can safely wear over their uniforms without any trouble. And then there's the Santa outfits... I loved Alice's random English. For a while, I'm not sure if Karen and the teacher truly understood what she said, but I did like how they just said that Shino should handle it by herself. And Alice has strange nightmares, though they're very cute. Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |

The village her home is based on is Castle Combe, which is near the southeast edge of the Cotswolds. A map can be found here of the area: http://maps.cotswoldsaonb.com/# The nearest station to the village is Chippenham, but the platform view Shino arrives on is the (much smaller and further) station at Kemble. Probably just because it's a lot more picturesque. If you want a bus timetable for getting to Castle Combe, the main bus is this one: http://waa.ai/BMu Of course, you may want to explore the rest of the area as well. I was in Stroud a few weeks back, which is very nice for a functioning town (as opposed to one that basically exists purely for tourists like Castle Combe does).

haha, I liked that translation- "You know how Ayaya is always saying 'Yoko this, Yoko that'?" xD I like the friendship between Aya and Yoko. I like the way Karen speaks xD 5/5. One more )=  |
Shino is really a terrible at giving gifts  |
Why is Isami feeling cold when Shino mentions "love is falling"? |
The Engrish in this anime never fails to amuse me.  |
FUCKKKKKKKKKKK. ONE MORE EPISODE. NOOOOOO. EVERY EPISODE HAS BEEN CUTE AND EVERY EPISODE HAS BEEN VERY ENJOYABLE AND EASILY A 5 Lol at Karen trolling Alice "Yoko this, Yoko that" Alice was so cuteeeee. Lol at last scene. Alice was the family pet xD. Ayaya dreaming of Yoko saying she was more beautiful in her dreams so Yoko must be grateful to her xD  |
Aya is such a romanticist xD I wanted to see her in a santa outfit :/ Shino's treasure lol. Isami is fashionable even when going to sleep, woah... Karen in a kimono, so cute! And her english, so amaazing as always! So hilarious that it was Shino's fault even when she was just acting xD Onee-sans, huh. Really loved this chapter. Btw what the hell is wrong with people's taste? Just a 7.30 for this awesomeness, a mere 7.30??? I would totally give it a 9.  |
Merry Christmas Alice! Have a er... Rock! ^_^ |
CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS EPISODE ON CHRISTMAS.  |
Someone's precious or valuable thing can be worthless to someone else. Even that is a familiar story, I was surprised that Shino gave Alice the stone. Hehe... |
Lol Youko is just an idiot.. Remember idiot can't catch a cold xD Well, Alice.. japanese people religion is different with England Lol @ sensei... This maybe be a big spoiler : Sensei don't have a boyfriend xD Wow, all of those christmas light.. so pretty.. Umm.. I don't understand that nightmare art (Alice's crying and Isa-nee's carrying wooden sword) Oh Youko, you can't just say "what's with this narration?", Well she's the tsukkomi xD Lol after ED.. Youko=>Grandpa, Ayaya=>Mother, Shino=>Daughter, Alice=>Pet, Sensei=>Daughter 2.... where's Karen? Aw, last ep next week? I'll miss this... "Signature removed"   |
in Japan christmas mean something like love ? :3 I just realize it too :p |
Dat rock! Pretty nice xmas episode, lets see what the last episode has to offer from this overly cute anime!  |
Dat ending dream :) And they are going to high school already? Yay! :) |
One of my favourite episodes so far! Nice end to Alice's first school year in Japan. |
Ohh Engrish, how I miss you ahahahaha. Christmas lights are really nice, especially at night!!!! A rock for a gift ahahaha. That last dream was funny too. |
5/5 Episode cute as the performance, the narrative also takes advantage of the presence of Isami, great. This makes it the longest running storyline that sees a new step forward, I like it. Simple and cute, not bad. Pleasant in the end this episode, which is also a kind of self-criticism to the Japanese company that made Christmas yet another opportunity to be exploited for commercial purposes. Think about it folks, a little dig by a girl so pretty, can become a boulder if well exploited! ^ _ ^ Modified by terrablu2003, Apr 6, 2014 1:46 AM  |
freakin shino.. a rock lmfao [right]  |
Alice's insecurity brings on disturbing dreams. Shino's greatest treasure = a rock! |
Cuteness overload. I require pics of Alice dressed in her UK costume. Lol at the English though. Oh and I loled so much at the frickin' rock. Modified by muur1234, May 15, 2014 8:45 AM |
