| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Christmas holiday episode in a nutshell. There's no doubt Futaba wanted to give something to Takeda. Cute chemistry as always between the duo. I bet just being with him makes Futaba happy, especially during the holidays. Also glad to see Touko and Souta get their fair share of on-screen time together. |
 |
| Futaba's almost like a mother sending children to school, and trading a scarf onto a kid that lost her's, and Takeda has to witness at that to her embarrassment. Getting ready for the annual company Christmas celebration, and Futaba got the role to do the usual Santa cosplay and handling out sweets, plus Touko. I just love how Kazama's clique hustle at Touko's involvement. Tsukishiro just feels like an oddball character. Even Natsumi feels her best friend's trouble to having to buy a gift for Takeda, even if it's obligatory. A necktie it is, but with so much designs, it's hard to dumb down on one that Takeda would like, and Futaba got the staff's recommendation. Pretty nice to see the short office cosplay (Futaba looks best as a Chibi adult Santa), and the gifting of presents (though Futaba feels reluctant to give to Takeda). It's business as usual to clear the year-end work busyness, and Futaba missed the timing to give to Takeda, be it business-wise or going to office early in the morning before anyone comes in. Notice that some co-workers Work From Home. The "business as usual" antics meant that Takeda forgot all about the present, and both went to eating chicken instead. It's snowing and Takeda is like a child there, and Futaba finally managed to give him his present, and Takeda in exchange for the scarf that she gave to the kids on the episode's opener. Well, the necktie Takeda didn't wear, but Futaba froze in trouble because it's a prized possession instead. Welp, all that trouble for nothing. Kazama got caught red-handed taking the Santa cosplay pictures of Touko, and it's as sweet as ever while he hides his embarrassment from her teasing. And he asked her out for a date for a Christmas present (and the usual "I like you" mutter obfuscated by the moving train), you go man Kazama! A really nice Christmas episode so early on. |

| Well, it looks like Christmas came early for them here. LOL. We also caught a Mugiwara in the wild. And, as caring as Futaba is, she ended up giving Luffy her muffler. LOL. Santa Futaba is here and she's so cute along with Santa Sakurai. Also, I like Takeda a lot, he's genuinely a nice dude. Natsumi is still one of the best girls I've seen in a while. Sakurai and Kazama also have their own wholesome moments in this episode. Another adorable episode and what else is there to say, this shit is wholesome AF. Everything is... |
 |
| First minute and a half was the cutest shit. Was not expecting a christmas themed episode this early in the show tho, but anyway ... yes, picking a necktie is a deed not only women have a hard time doing. And then gifting it to someone is completely another challenge lol. Kazama-kun is taking only the right pictures. Also whats with that slavic speaking girl ? In how many slavic languages can she say "good morning/good day/hello". And the ending illustration by Asanagi ... OH BOY. |
 |
| Futaba should buy the panda one instead. LOL Sakurai and Kazama were lovely as always, their relationship was improving. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| I need that ending art scene in my life immediately...Holy Lord what a MASTERPIECE! EDIT: Found it on Asanagi's twitter. :3 Great episode though! The Sakurai and Kazuma development is preceding nicely. |

| After this episode, I really do wish Sakurai and Kazama were the main two characters of this series, the chemistry there is just way more likable and their conversations and teasing/banter are more engaging to me on the romantic development side than Igarashi and Takeda imo. I'd probably enjoy the series with those two as the mains and maybe some different couple as the secondary one but something about Igarashi and her dynamic with Takeda is just a complete misfire for me. |
| I just love that garbage Russian... that is all I have to say. |

| Great episode! Futaba giving her scarf to them children was really nice of her. Seems she got unlucky and drew Santa again xD. Sakurai and Futaba are also very good together and am looking forward to seeing more of them. I’m happy Futaba got to give her necktie to Takeda as well. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| I didn’t expect to see Asanagi after the ed lol. Fucking based. |
 |
| That was some good looking chicken. In anime the skin almost seems stretchy or gooey 🤤 Also notice how Igarashi needed two hands for her piece. I love it how the series uses every opportunity to lowkey show that she's such a shorty, lol. Wholesome episode again, but of course Takeda had to fuck up which messed with Igarashi haha. Super nice end card btw  |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Was lowkey hoping for Futaba to buy the "panda" necktie instead xD So... christmas-themed episode in October, huh? They could have waited until December to release it since we are already in the last anime season of the year but well. Still a hella sweet episode overall. Futaba continues to be incredibly adorable and I'm also glad to see the Sakurai x Kazama ship keeps going strong. |
| It was a nice and cute episode and all.. BUT IS THAT FKING ASANAGI ART.. did they seriously asked asanagi to make an art for a cute and wholesome anime.. what's next? DW will ask Asanagi to make art for Queen Guenever in fate grand order? |
| That was very cute for a christmas episode (for both couple) very heartwarming to see Futaba giving Takeda a necktie and he gave her a scarf!! |
 |
phantomfandom said: I've conflicted feeling about Takeda senpai. If he's not interest in her than it's definitely rational and ethical that he doesn't make a move on her. But if he's interest in her, then the fact that he doesn't make a move on her means he's not alpha male. And I'm not interested in non-alpha male, I'd even be disappointed considering that his body already look like one but his mind isn't. I'm gonna complain that why I only get female santa from this anime, and then the end card appear just like a Christmas gift I deserve, who cares about seeing Takeda in santa costume when he can be shirtless! Ehh Sir, this is a Wendy's. |
|
| This was a great Christmas episode. Igarashi handing Takeda the scarf was really cute! But man, the episode felt really short for some reason. Can't wait for the next! |
 |
| Ah yes, a Christmas episode in which Futaba buys a gift for Senpai, but is too much of a tsundere to just give it to him. On the other hand, Kazuma and Sakurai seem to spending some quality time with each other on Christmas. |
 |
| Not going to lie, I love Futaba and her struggles with her feelings, but I am much more interested in Kazama and Sakurai.. that relationship is truly blossoming and it's only just past christmas. The girls looked incredible in their Christmas getups, but that post ED art stole the attention away from the outfits of the episode itself... Sakurai's oppai is fantastic in that artwork ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| That end card |
 |
| Predictable ending, but none the less, the ride there was very enjoyable. Kusunoki is really killing it voicing Futaba. |

 Thank you for the present, Santa Snowman 2 |
| I don't know if I really vibed with the show until now, but this whole episode was adorable |
 |
| ayo this 2nd couple is more pure than the main one lmao, the actual good kind of teasting too |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| An excellent episode once again, this is becoming one of my favourite anime from the fall season. I love watching wholesome teasing and awkward moments so goddamn much |
| Touko gives off Takagi-san vibes 🤣 |
 |
| Oh boy, that end card ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). That was a really cute episode! I like Igarashi and Takeda, but I definitely like the Kazama x Sakurai ship better. Would be perfect if this episode aired like 2 months from now lmao. |
 |
OMG YES, THE ART IS AMAZING |
| Yay Christmas Episode. Cute Santa costume for Igarashi and Sakurai... why Sakurai has same energy as Takagi when she teasing Kazama... This so wholesome, put a smile every episode. bruh that end card Art was Amazing!! Asanagi you are "Cultured" |
 |
Yeahh it just cross on my mind, same energy. |
|
| Poor Higarashi beat herself up over giving her senpai the freaking gift, only for him to think it's better to put it on display LMAO. Good episode. Definitely rooting for Kazama and Sakurai. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| As usual, this is so adorable, especially in the first few minutes. I love it when Takeda ended up talking about it to the people at the office, lol. Both the main couple and the second, I love them all! The interaction between Sakurai and Kazama is indeed very wholesome and sweet, with the light teasing from Sakurai and Kazama's funny reactions.. it really feels like watching an actual rom-com. On the other hand there is Futaba who feels that just being around Takeda is enough for her, and she herself still doesn't want to admit that she likes Takeda lol maybe she's afraid to know how Takeda will react if he finds out about it xD I personally prefer the main couple because whatever Futaba's reaction to Takeda is really cute.. but I don't deny that the second couple feels more pure and sweet. Feels like a real couple. The only thing that bothers me is why does Tsukishiro only has so little screen time? She only appears for a few seconds, then will not appear again. I really like her :( |
 |
This anime is so cute and adorable <3 Futaba hasn't realized yet she is in love with her senpai lol Andd, I also really love this couple, they have chemistry together :D |
 |
| Bruh, was that a straw hat elementary school, or what? Ah, a mandatory christmas special episode. A bit too fast, but that's fine as long as Sakurai and Futaba became the model. That's my dream comes true! Cute outfit, and as expected Sakurai stand too much. Though, the episode wasn't about that only. Sakurai and Kazama still teasing each other hard, and Futaba still facing a difficulty against her senpai. Her gift was nice, she got an exchange gift from Takeda, and i can't blame Takeda from putting that nice necktie as a placard. Lol. Enjoyable episode as always. |

| Natsumi is a very sagacious friend without whose help Futaba would have never dared to buy a present for Takeda. It was funny when Futaba constantly lied to herself about the necktie situation only to try to sneak peek into the office and leave it for l'objet d'adoration. Cool thing they exchanged gifts right before Christmas end even if Futaba almost died of shame in the middle of the street. Believe in miracles, friends. Sakurai and Kazama are Takagi and Nishikata lite, if it can even be said about adults. Their relationship are based on mutual sympathy and frivolity and it's a pleasure to see them together. I hope Kazama will surprise us with what is hidden behind a deaf collar and an impenetrable face and this line of characters will be interesting until the very end. |
 |
| Okay, 3rd episode passed and it turned out to be one of my favs of this season. Not only main pair have great dynamics between them, but Sakurai and Kazama are great too. I guess I have a soft spot for teasing women like her. And Hayami Saori's voice is just perfect as always. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Oh yes this episode started off the beginning of the christmas arc and it's a cute one. Starting off Takeda starring at Futaba giving the little girl her scarf, so kindhearted of her while Futaba herself started to freeze and Takeda gave her something warm and Futaba told Takeda to not tell anyone but eventually he told Souta that made Futaba furious xD Buchou told the people in the office to draw a christmas box hidden with folded papers some and I choked when Sakura got santa and Souta and the boys went to an immediate shock lolol “Dobryy den!” Tsukishiro screentime! she appeared beside Futaba when she was on her phone just having a casual conversation and when she tried out the drink Futaba bought, her face was confusing but fair enough. Looking forward to more of her screentime in later episodes! As christmas started, Kurobe and Futaba sits down and Futaba asks Kurobe for present suggestions, honestly the conversation just felt really realistic just having a hand of help from someone to suggest you a present you're planning on giving to someone special :3. Kurobe suggested Futaba a necktie as a gift and she started to look around different varieties of it and it was funny when Futaba imagined senpai wearing those flower neckties, also the ghost and panda neckties looks pretty interesting though it would be best to use those casual design to look mature in the office :/ “Merry Christmas” - Sakura with her cute christmas dress while Takeda was just laughing snd Souta and the boys were taking pictures of them numerous time just by the sound effect, then Futaba was pretty intimated it felt really relatable if I were in her position ;) Then Futaba was planning to give her present to Takeda but felt nervous and a woman asked Futaba for help but afterwards she couldn't have the right time since Takeda went home afterwards. Then Futaba went home and take a bath, her room is really cute ngl :3 Next morning, Futaba entered the office and put her present on the bottom of Takeda’s desk. Yeah pretty much this day is a busy one but Sakura was kind to give Futaba a snackbar. Takeda called Futaba on a meeting and afterwards they went on a walk together which is Futaba’s chance to give Takeda the necktie present but then her tummy starts rumbling and both went to a restaurant and tried out the xmas special roast chicken, Takeda ate the chicken aggressively like an actual beast 0_0 Also the dialogue between Souta aned Sakura just felt really cute and I really love the voice actors who are potraying Souta and Sakura, they did a really good job because both their voices are very calming in such a a quiet ambience going on when both of them were walking together and I like how their relationship starts to develop even if it's a side one :3 And oooooh, the snow starts to rain when Futaba eventually gave Takeda the necktie at a correct time. In return Takeda, gave Futaba a new scarf since Futaba gave her old one to the girl. Next day, Futaba expected Takeda to wear the necktie that she gave him but he didn’t aww felt like a betrayal but since he doesn’t wanna get it dirty it all makes sense but at the same it’s quite sad that Futaba looks like she’s about to tear up in the end xD Animation, OP and ED will always stay banger and I love the Christmas art in the end. So far it's my favorite episode because I'm hugely getting diabetes from this and I'm looking forward to the next episode <3! |
| I wasn't expecting a Christmas episode so soon, but I won't complain about it since it gave us Futaba AND Sakurai in their respective Santa dresses. There's something here for everyone! =3 Once again, the cuteness and wholesome levels went into overdrive for this episode. I couldn't help but cheer on Futaba and her struggles to give Takeda her present, which was a necktie. She did succeed in the end, but I can't blame her for blowing up in anger when Takeda wanted to put the tie on display rather than wear it. XD While those two gives me cuteness overload, Sakurai and Kazama aren't far behind them when it comes to being amusing and wholesome. The way Sakurai acts around Kazama heavily reminds me of a certain Takagi-san, but as a working adult here. For me, that comparison is a good thing as these two are really sweet with their interactions together. And then, we have the illustration art at the end of the episode. Asanagi nailed it with that picture, which looks absolutely amazing. I want more of that! |
| Another lovely and wholesome episode, some real sweet Christmas interactions between Kazama and Sakurai and Futaba and Takeda. Particularly loving seeing Kazama and Sakurai's chemistry brought to life so well, even when they're naturally getting much less screentime than our main pair: that way Sakurai's eyes lit up when Kazama offered her out to dinner was a nice detail that made her feelings plain as day. Smug Saori Hayami is best Saori Hayami. |
