Pretty good music in the beginning~

Otherwise, a typical episode. Oh, nice to see a little ice magic I guess. A Yuki-ona huh? :P If there is one thing that impressed me in this episode, it would be the soundtrack. The song near the end was nice to the ears imo. Oh and the Yuki-ona is pretty.

Nice episode. I liked the compartment scene of a train, which made me feel as if I had been traveling with them.

That snow princess was interesting. Sad that she sacrificed something to save the guy. I wonder why she saved him. Just b/c she was touched by his feeling for his sis? Did she think it deserved her voice? How generous!

Will she and he not show up anymore? Just for one episode?? I thought he would join the Hakkenden members cuz his family name was related to a "dog." But somehow he split with them at a station.

Looks like Takagaki-san's character is sister of that guy who met yuki hime (Noto-san?)? So she lost her voice to save him.

Wow Yuki's voice is so beautiful and so was the song she was singing. Anyone know what the songs name is?
Too bad she lost her voice.

Liked the feeling this ep gave and the comedy was nice :)
Can't wait to see Hamaji meet her brother.

A rather uneventful episode, but the eye candy was still nice. I gave it a 3/5 because considering there are only about five episodes left, I'd expect the story to kind of pick up a bit more.

Awesome episode
I loved the lullaby, it sounded almost like the OST for Code Geass Stories and Continued Story, the singing
When I heard Dosetsu's voice I thought Lockon Stratos, then oh it's
Shin-ichiro Miki
Yukihime looked very pretty as well

I know right? If I hadn't been reading the manga, I would've thought the same. The thing is, the manga's pacing is just like this...slow and slice-of-life-ish sometimes :/ I'm not sure sure what they were thinking when they decided to adapt this into an anime, because for this anime to make any sense by itself, it would've had to be at least 2 or 3 cour. Not to mention, I don't think the manga is that popular anyways. Still, I'm liking the adaption a lot, it's just hard to imagine how they will end this anime.

This episode is really nice. Yukihime's voice is just as beautiful as I imagined, and actually even better~ I shed a few tears because it was that beautiful. It's really sad that she had to sacrifice her voice for Dousetsu, but at least Dousetsu understands the situation better now and appreciates Yukihime. Btw, I can't wait for the ost to come out. They did a really good job with the bgm for this anime <3

^I agree, the music and introduction of Yukihime and Dousetsu made it that way.

Music at the beginning reminded me of Shiki in a way. Which is definitely a good thing.

It was so nice seeing the main cast gathered together at the end of the episode! Definitely a good sign that I'm becoming attached to the characters. :) Even though the overarching plot isn't apparent yet, right now I'm enjoying just getting to know the characters and watching their interactions with one another. And like everybody else, I can't wait for the reunion between Hamaji and Dousetsu! It seems like she might not really remember him, but maybe that's because her side of the story hasn't been introduced yet?

Dousetsu is a funny and enjoyable guy.
I love it when he's creeped out by the eye thing and puts his feet on the seat.

I ilke Yukihime also.

I really liked this episode, hopefully he gets to meet Hamaji soon, I wonder how they'll respond when they see each other after such a long time. Next episode will probably be about Hamaji starting going to school and making at least one friend. I'm looking forward to it.

I really liked the episode as well. And since I see more than one connection that was developed, I don't see it as "filler".

Nice episode and a quite good beginning.

I love music and this cold and melancholy atmosfere.
News charakters seems to be really interesting - especially pretty snow princess. I was sorry to hear that she had lost her voice. I hope I'll see this nice girl and a man as soon as it's possible.

Ahhh another funny episode, still I knew he was Hamaji's brother, guess it's the eye color and well . . when he said younger sister, I only thought of her.

Yukihime is really cute too! He should be grateful to have her around, she gave up her singing to save him~

I thought the same thing when i saw him at the start of the episode it was the hair that game it away for me it was basically the same so yeah

I swear when it showed her singing on the tree i swear the little white thingys that were with her reminded me of the Kodama's from Princess Mononoke but it was a nice ep but i do wish they would pick up the storyline now dont want to feel cheated in the series

Maybe it's just her character design.

Another great episode, heh seems like there are a few who dislike the SoL-ish moments. I am glad that I decided to watch this after season 2 is done airing, that's why I know this whole season is just an introduction arc, and the plot will advance in the sequel, thus increasing my enjoyment much more!

Yukihime is gorgeous!! If only I could have her by my side, I wouldn't complain about the lack of girlfriend, though a life without friend would suck. And, Hamaji's onii-san? Whew can't wait for the reunion.

The comedy is as great as ever, had one or two laughs and a few chuckles. Hamaji is still waiting for them at the end XD

5/5

Plot dual purpose, open the way for yet another possible outlets in the main story and to present a new character, not bad.
Narrative which tends to range between two extremes in a very relaxed, interesting.
Fun and enjoyable protagonists, who chisssa arivera soon, I'm curious! * _ *
Excellent OST, what a beautiful song sung by Yukihime.
