Ami honestly carries the emotional intelligence of this arc 😭 she sees through everyone immediately and calls out how fake the situation has become LMAO

Minorin’s slump is written really well because the show doesn’t overexplain it. Her awkward behavior and distancing already tell you she’s struggling emotionally. I really like the way this series adds depth to each character, not just one

AWWW Taiga trying to be “good” for Santa is funny at first, but it also shows how badly she wants to make other people happy, especially Ryuuji. :>

The Christmas season starts, and I enjoyed seeing Taiga and Takasu getting excited for it. Things begin to get complicated as there’s confusion about the characters’ feelings, showing major development in the story as it progresses. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

The relationships in this episode get even messier as Kushieda avoids Ryuji, and he struggles with his feelings about Taiga and Kitamura at the restaurant. The tension is building, and it feels like things will only get more complicated from here.

We see developments in Ryuji's fellings and the subtle clues about Taiga excites me to how their relatonship develops. They made a great job making us guess on what is going on with Kushieda. The delivery of lines and emotions are still top notch, invoking response from us.

The new OP and ED are nice, I enjoy them, though not as much as the first. This episode highlighted again that one character is weirder than the others, especially Minorin and Kitamura, and their ongoing romantic situation is quite complex. It was a good intermediate episode.

The holiday season begins, and everyone prepares for Christmas festivities at school. Between decorations, plans, and shifting feelings, the cheerful atmosphere starts building toward something bigger for the group.
