The scariest winter monster? The kotatsu, without a doubt.

On a cold winter holiday, while enjoying a relaxing time under the futon, Warumono receives multiple calls from his colleague, Rooney. The Monsters of the Earth have infiltrated the organization's headquarters, and they urgently seek help as they are under attack at that very moment. Warumono rushes to the aid of their childhood friend in distress. Can they truly rescue Rooney? Meanwhile, amidst the cold season, a seasonal sight in convenience stores—the Chinese steamed buns. Warumono is curious about the limited-time Panda Buns, but what awaits them?

It's just a damn kotatsu, but man, it's tough to escape its cozy grip when it's chilly and refreshing outside. Yeah, he totally earned that slap, haha! Anyone pulling the emergency card on your day off deserves a reality check. The convenience store girl is getting more screen time, and let me tell you, meat buns are absolutely fantastic—give them a shot if you haven't. Also, considering it was red, blue, I'm guessing So Blue, Red, Green, Yellow? And, oh, RIP, snow bunny.

Warumono's been a good boy this year.

Btw, "warumono" in the title means "villain", but it's more like children's language, kinda like English "bad guy".

Oh yeah, I heard that Japanese homes can be unexpectedly cold.
I instantly knew that he is talking about a kotatsu, Warumono-san dramatically hurrying to the headquarters was funny.
Ahh he missed the limited period when the panda nikuman was being sold. I feel bad for him.
And I really like the clerk.
Noooo you should've put the rabbit in the freezer! :(
This episode was so wholesome. We should always do little acts of kindness like this when we can :) Really looking forward to the next one.

Extremely wholesome episode.

Everything about this episode was just great. The start with Rooney and his "Winter Monster" just being the kotatsu was funny.

The lead up to the Panda buns led to Warumono missing out on them but maybe it was for the best, he doesn't want to eat his favorite animal.

The scene with the elderly man was amazing, when he climbed on Warumono's back and complimented him, it's just wholesome.

Another episode, another chill day off were Warumono tries to be around his beloved pandas. This time we're facing the cold of winter, close to Xmas holiday. Warumono's kindness is just overflowing, even Santa Claus calls him a "good boy", that's something kekeke
This show would be so good to watch when you're tired after a day at work or school, It feels so healing.

Increased the speed to 1.5 now. Still feels normal. They should've probably just cut some stuff, have the episodes at 10 minutes and get the segments done at an appropriate speed. But whatever.

As for the content, this one was even more boring than the first ones. Warumono-san just lacks expression, so even the relatable moments fall short. Meanwhile the christmas segment, while somewhat sweet, was poorly executed and felt disconnected.

I'll give it one last chance next week.

Warumono just wants to watch his panda videos, though Rooney keeps interrupting him...to tell him about an Earth monster who's powerful and has devoured humans. It's a state of emergency, but Rooney just likes to irritate Warumono further...upon learning that the Earth monster is quite gigantic: a kotatsu.

A panda bun has got Warumono interested in it, though prying it in half sure irritates him to a degree. In the end, he picked up a normal meat bun, which has become his after-work treat to get more variety of buns, especially the big ones, which the panda ones have already been discontinued.

Warumono has his day off, and upon seeing buns again, he decides to make it from scratch after buying it at the supermarket. Heating it in the microwave though too tightly though, both he and Red make the same mistake, which both Sora and Mugi has to create nice meat buns.

The snow rabbit piques Warumono's interest to copy it, though he brought back to his fridge, only to see it melt. So frustrating...

Once again, a trip to the zoo, though this old man who's been climbing up the endless stairs, Warumono decides to give him up to carry his stuff, then piggyback him, which he gives a good thumbs' up. The dream of many pandas, along with the old man being Santa, Warumono's the Child of a Distant Star, albeit doing hard labour with him.

Merry Christmas, Warumono's a good boy.

- winter is cold ... (in my country there's a funny song that goes "for me, today it's January, it's freezing cold, it seems like everyone united to screw me" or something like that)
- mc likes meat buns huh ... seems hard to eat panda food, how can you cut his head in half, geez
- the other guy can't stop calling him for useless stuff, let mc enjoy the panda show
- the old man was so cute lmao nice of mc to help him, i wonder how the old man can even go up those long stairs
- 359 pandas, that's a long time to fall asleep huh
- no way he was dreaming with the old man again LOL that's too cute... Christmas huh interesting, he even got a gift

Omg!
What would we do while we await your decision? I'm at my wit's end and sobbing right now not knowing if you will continue watching. Oh my god no!

Rooney really just wants to be Warumono's friend (or that he brings him more tangerines - could be both :D). Warumono's love for pandas and now dumplings is understandable. I can relate to this.

He's so nice helping the old man (for someone wanting to kill all humans). Personally I would have preferred if it didn't turn into a Christmas episode. Hm. I also feel like maybe we got a hint into his motives a little. When he stated humans are so ephemeral. I wonder if it's related to their "business".

Ha ha, from now on I won't be counting sheep, I will count pandas whenever I can't fall asleep :D <3

Mais um episódio simples e confortável é tudo o que precisamos hoje em dia. Ver ele aproveitar o amado dia de folga me faz querer aproveitar os meus dias. É tão gratificante ver ele se sentir energizado por fazer coisas simples que nós fazemos. o dia a dia mas não nos damos conta pois a vida nos pressiona tanto que não percebemos a maravilha das pequenas coisas.

The best way to watch this is at 1.5x speed. After the 1st episode, it's the only way I'll watch it, otherwise its too damn slow. lol

Rooney "tricked" the general into coming in by implying he was being attacked by "santa" aka kotatsu. Warumono didn't get to eat the panda bun :( that's so sad

The twins are weird. Rip snow bunny. The short man reminds me of the monopoly guy lol turns out that was santa

hard labor in the snow
This never updates so that's cool
