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.

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?)

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 ;)

Also, Shino really really REALLY likes england. A stone, eh?

Also, I would have liked to see Santayaya =)

Don't worry, you have still blue eyes and blond hair to go for you, alice!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)?

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.

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).

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! ^ _ ^

Yoko I am with you!! but it doesn't meant that I am a baka too!! ... just kidding!! I don't really care if I am a baka or not .. as long as I am "proud" of myself , I Don't care about what I am .
Winter/Christmas season!!!
I am proud of you alice!!

Love and peace for all!!
Santa karen looks great!!
Woah... I haven't seen this much christmas lights in any other animes!! Its great!!
A Full Depiction of a Simple Christmas!! Simplicity is good!!
Alice is excited haha!!
A Rock from England ... WTF .. Shino ... your greatest treasure is a ROCK .. maybe it holds some unique properties ..!? or not .. air-head as usual.
White Christmas!!
That Wooden sword ... Isami is armed!!
wait... What the heck is happening!? Why Does everyone has a different personality than before!!? Did something happen after Alice dream !!?
Aya is more straight-forward in "flirting" with Yoko.. even saying she is a great person or something in her dreams. Alice just became a Full-accent English mode .. who forgot how to speak decent Japanese. also, Shino just became the concern motherly-shy type of character!!
hmm.. or its just Alice that have changed!? lol.. confusion over 50%.
New Year!!
Alice speaking Full English!! *Nosebleeds* .. Alice is.. Kawaii!!
She is talking Random Things ... Alice.. have natto for a break.

She's back to normal!! Its nice to have you back again Alice!! ... "bleeds".
That Shino in alice's dream... Somehow I like her attitude lol!! Its sadist much..
Shino... I just realiZed how kind and nice are you to others . Keep up the good work :D
Woah!! Timeskips alot!! Where's Valentines and White Day... oh It doesn't have the "romance" genre on the first place.. so I think They didn't include it . (But There's a Yuri genre...)
Graduation !! Not them.
Pretty good Episode!!!
Alice's face when she sleeps!! so kawaii!!
Well.. That Family ... Alice is the pet!! grandfather Yoko lol!!
Aya being a mother is perfect for her!!
Daughter 1 is Shino !! Daughter 2 is Sensei!? woah.. A big sister.
