Takagi in that santa outfit!

The Takagi and Nishikata chemistry was still pretty amusing to see as usual. Nishikata just doesn't know when to quit with his challenges lol. Looks like they added a lot of shoujo-like scenes to the episode, almost synonymous with how Takagi and Nishikata's relationship has been in the show.

Takagi's Merry Christmas scene was very sweet imo, probably the sweetest one I've seen this season.

Advanced Merry Christmas to everyone...

This episode is just so sweet and cute...

My fave scenes for todays episode are:
🎁the gift giving between Takagi and Nishikata

🥰 When takagi is copying the girl from the said movie. She is just so cute and sweet on that one...

I also love the insert song used there, and we have some Chritmas song as ED for today's episode. Nice

Feliz natal Nishikata! Good christmas part but it reminded me when my kids didnt like the skateboards I offered them, unfortunate...
they also went to the movies very refreshing it would have been fun if they went to watch skate gang or 90's rsrsrsrs

If this show keeps on getting better and better, my heart won't be able to take it anymore ^

Winter holidays theme. Watching movies, playing together, giving each other gifts, "you are not cold btw" line :p. This is episode really brought them together more than ever before.
I love how he gave her gloves and she gave him the scarf she was making like 3 episodes back. It's heartwarming how they both progressed with their relationship as "more than friends". It's still very subtle but this season is uncovering and reaching for their real feelings towards each other and I'm here for it!

3 more episode for this season. I'm excited for the next 3 weeks!

Nishikata get a clue dude. The girl is head over heels for you. Takagi keeps giving him hints and waiting for him to make a move. He has feelings for her too but like all japanese male characters, he is nervous and awkward and can't express himself. Takagi knows this. She can read him like an open book.
Lovely episode, first movie date for the young pretend couple.
The gift exchange was so cute and funny also the feelings you get from your first love.
We all know they're married but with each episode we see progress. Takagi even pretended to be a character nishikata likes. Girls do that when they really into you.

The background art was beautiful.. the seaside scene, the ferry crossing all of it..
The snowy scene was so romantic as it started to snow just at sunset...

I wonder if anyone knows the place for their date .
They walked through an old neighborhood after the movie what looked to me is like Kyoto.

This is the episode that was portrayed on the cover art itself, this may be the highlight episode of the season- unless it is somehow topped off by one of the remaining episodes.

WAIT WHAT?? ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING IT?? WAAAATTT!!!

HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!!!

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKK

Nishikita is still getting absolutely destroyed, but it's okay. He went out with Takagi-san, rode a ferry with her, went to see a LOVE movie with her, and gave her a Christmas gift with a card, thanking her for the time they spent together that day. I really can't ask for anymore at this point fam.

after this episode Takagi must be at her limit to confess to Nishikita, and would be nice if he could piece together what it means when Takagi said "I was serious when I said I wanted you to think I was cute" and that she knitted a scarf for him

Best date ever! I wonder if Nishikata even realizes they just had a date the whole day. This ep is a very huge progress to the series.

I haven't read the manga, but from what I've heard, there isn't much progress and its more slice of life/ teasing focused. from what I've gathered this season, they're actually making considerable progress. a friend was telling me they may not make more seasons and might make an anime one ending where they actually confess or whatever, but I'm not sure

It almost felt like Christmas today with this episode, really loved it. Opening up with another dream scene, pretty goofy lol, Santakagi-san was nice. And finally get to see why the promotional art is what it is for this season, the ferry ride is finally here, although it was brief lol. The entire movie date was great too, lots of good moments there, and love to see 100% Unrequited Love on the big screen, Nishikata was moved to tears lol. The end of the episode was amazing tho, the Christmas feel was very good and loved the pure sweetness that was the gift exchange, definitely one of my favorite Christmas episodes. I also loved Rie Takahashi singing one of the Christmas classics in the ED, very fitting and cute.

This was hands down best episode till now, loved it. We got the date from the OP and the visual cards.

The "fell in love" part was nice, Nishikata was right to be flustered about that, she was talking about him after all. Takagi seemed more romantically aggressive in this episode, it was great. We saw Nishikata getting red a lot in this episode.

The gifts they got for each other were really thoughful and I loved that. Nishikata got her gloves because she always seemed to be warming up her hands and Takagi got him a hand-made mufler.

That last part with the cards was really nice, they both thought of giving each other the same "Send this card to someone you care about." 10/10.

This episode had the season ending feels to it, ED playing, credits showing and the scenes from the episode playing in the window, that was great.

AAAAAA Just get together already. This makes me want to see how they are going to be around each other when they grow up, so bad.

Anyway, 6/5 episode. Can't wait for next week.

Christmas in March? OK...

The Christmas festivity date between Nishikata and Takagi is underway, because of Nishikata's obsession to 100% Unrequited Love which Takagi followed suit thereafter. And man, Nishikata, you had a chance to impress your girl but your expectations betray you. But Takagi, she dropped many "I love you" hints to Nishikata, always wanting to know if he'd reciprocated one day.

And in some instances, only acting as a "couple" will they be able to get certain stuff that regular couples can get. Nishikata really made a blunder by ordering movie tickets for the couple, and having to think of penning a letter for her. But holy wowsers, the movie scene of the two casually hitting their hands towards one another, and an Easter Egg that not a lot of people realize: the 100% Unrequited Love movie was cast by the EXACT SAME VAs as Takagi-san.

After that, it's more of the same teasing games, and Nishikata only has victory over Takagi in his mind while not realizing that the latter is acting so strangely like the former's favourite girl Kyunko acting out the movie part IRL. The gift exchange part is the best I've seen so far from the series, and both got practical gift for each other: a pair of gloves for Takagi and the knitted scarf for Nishikata. This is genuine love at its finest.

If there was anime-only seasonal episodes that made the "Best Episode" cut, this would be it in this season.

No way it's SanTakagi Nishikata thought he's so slick but what more does he has to ask after seeing Takagi in his dreams with a Santa outfit she looks cute tho

Takagi sure is baiting a lot here coming from Nishikata's reactions, The movie date was cute and wholesome

Wait what's going on Nishikata it's a trap, his reaction coming from Takagi's loss this is actually the first time we see Takagi "Losing", The exchange gift is probably the memorable part of the episode, Adding Riery singing Santa Claus is coming to town this episode might come as the best one yet I just wish this actually came out in December.

This episode makes you smile all the way while having tears of joy at the end. So good that it feels like a season finale already. Glad that there are still 3 more left.

I wonder when the confession will occur, by the end of this season or in the upcoming movie hmmm...
