Ooh, this episode takes place around the New Years holidays.

Funny stuff as expected. We got the usual Toru and Kobayashi moments.
I think Kanna looked very cute in her kimono for the holiday occasion.

Same with the other dragons and Riko as well.



The holiday spirits are always a nice sight to see especially in this show.

New Years episode! Ah yes, I've seen enough anime to be plenty familiar with the dangerously warm embrace of a kotatsu. XD And lookin' good in those kimonos girls! Mind you Lucoa and her big, beautiful tits look stupendous in anything, the more revealing the better, my god that lowcut...but I digress. XD Sigh, yet another absolutely fantastic episode...if only this series didn't hafta end. :( Intriguing preview though...a first meeting flashback?

Much better than the last episode. A kotatsu sure is amazing, alright? :D

The kimonos were nice to look at.

Pretty happy and fun episode. Really interested in Tohru's family at this point.

Poor Shouta haunted my Lucoa even in his dreams lol

Kanna looked very cute in her kimono. Same as everyone else in their outfits. Holiday episodes are nice to watch. Poor Shouta at the end was funny. He can't escape from Lucoa, even in his dreams.

Damn man New Year's episodes always make me feel some type of way, and this one delivered.

We got to at least hear form Kobayashi's mother, and we saw the back of Tohru's father (I would assume) which was pretty cool. Pretty hilarious episode overall though.

What kind of through me for a loop was when Kobayashi threw the orange peel away and she flash backed to winning the kotatsu...idk it seemed like ti didn't fit at that moment. If anything maybe it was her realizing that her vacation is over and so it Kotatsu time.

On a side note Fafnir and Takiya's brotherhood is extremely underrated. When he was stocking that Curry, and Fafnir was basically like "Yo..." and Takiya reassures him that "it's Mild" Fafnir is so pleased, it was hilarious. The two most underrated characters in this anime in my opinion, especially Fafnir.

That "pattern", as soon Tohru get under the Kotatsu... So she realize it too.
As expected from Mr. Hardcore Player Fafnir, he's the only one that still awake after that New Year celebration. XD

Decent episode, but having the main cast spend the vast majority of the episode lounging around in a kotatsu isn't exactly very exciting, and the joke about not wanting to get out of the kotatsu isn't exactly funny either and has been done to death. Also, why did Kobayashi suggest that Tohru go and see her family when Tohru said at the beach that she couldn't go back and certainly couldn't let them meet Kobayashi?

Nice Episode as usual.

I wonder if Tooru's fortune will some effect in the last episode. I had to stop think about for awhile.

Also, Nice going Lucoa your stuffed your bombs on him so much you traumatized him.

Seems the Kotetsu didn't do the girls much good seeing as they didn't do anything besides sitting in it.
Well the did go to a shrine to celebrate tho but that was about it.
Elma was still on her hunt for great food and she did seem to enjoy Touru's cooking.

KOTATSU!

It was great, I really like those hints about their past, makes me think about their backstory and hope that there will be episodes about that, but that probably won't happen if this season ends in 12~13 episodes...
The comedy is good as always too, and so is that warm mood they present us in every episode, I love that!

KOTATSU!

I used google image to see what a Kotatsu looked like, straight away I see a cat being warmed up by one.

I thought they all looked great in their kimono's.

No surprise that Lucoa's was different.

I do want to see Kobayashi try the tail at least once.

Shout had a nightmare at the end there lol.

Shame that it's ending next time, I hope we get another season. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Kinda average episode. Repeated jokes are being repeated and repeated, I thought this show could do better. I like Riko but come on. Why the hell does she have to make the same weird face every time. She's plenty cute herself, even cuter than Kanna if you ask me. Cuteness wasted, thank you very much.

As much as the other girls' kimonos are nice looking, especially Kanna's one, Lucoa's kimono was really revealing and perfectly suiting for a character like her. It shows off her excellent assets, if you know what I mean. =P

I've never used a kotatsu before, but I would guess that I'll be like Tohru, Kobayashi and Kanna underneath one, not wanting to leave it due to its inviting warmth.

Shouta's first dream got off to a pretty bad start, as Lucoa invaded his dream acting as Mt. Fuji, a hawk and an eggplant. The poor buy will never get used to how excellent Lucoa until he hits puberty. -__-

Overall, this was a really nice and relaxing episode. I'm not sure how many episodes are left, but next week's one is looking really interesting though.

Based Fafnir with his black pills. Elma remains obsessed with food - her giant candy grab, her co-workers talking about chocolates, and when she ate Tooru's soup.

Wonder if the fleeting sight of Tohru's father is foreshadowing a full appearance soon? Would like to see some more character development before the series concludes.

More Good Feels from this episode. The affection between all of our pairings is progressing nicely.

We get the Night It Happened next episode? EXCELLENT!

Um, no.... Tohru never said that she couldn't go back, in fact she's gone back to her world many times already (X Mas present and that "ingredients" for the cook off with Kobayashi). It's all a matter of whether Tohru herself WANTS to go back to see her family or not. Of all the dragons, Elma and Kanna are the ones who don't have the ability to return to their own world.

Kobayashi understands that in Tohru's world Dragons and humans are at odds with each other, which is why Tohru adamantly refuses to allow Kobayashi to meet them (because her dad would probably want to eat/kill Kobayashi). However that doesn't mean that Kobayashi does not understand the importance of family, which is why she would sugggest Tohru go visit her parents, especially since it was during holidays.

What a heartwarming episode, this is probably one of my favorite times the Christmas/New year.
They were all so cute in Yukatas, especially Kanna :3

@Stark700

I won't say anything about Lucoa's Yukata xD
It's so nice how Japanese spend their New Year Eve, would love to spend a ney there.
One more episode :/

One or two episode left,glad they haven't introduce Tooru's parents (and hope they don't intend to) cause the way I see it that would only add unnecessary drama to this,the kind of melodramatic drama that always ruins KyoAni series for me.


need to add this so there will be a material for season 2 also related to original manga.

Maybe Tohru did use her magic, only to some extent - both when participating in the lottery and to help Kobayashi not to miss.

A very normal and very nice ordinary everyday day. It is pleasant and full of niceties the episode, we also had the opportunity to admire the kimono, but I love the fact that in addition to such sweetness and fun, there is always an opportunity to advance the main story. I wonder if there will ever be an episode where we will know the Thoru parents and Kobayashi, and why not, even those of Kanna. Drawings and backgrounds, excellent!
