Hey, here's a thought: Go get the book and then you'll know what they look like for sure! :D

"Oha!"

Yeah, Osaka's story build-ups are better than their conclusions. :)

Hey, it's a running instructor! :D

Okay, so "suke" is "appended to various parts of speech including nouns", and "is used to create nicknames for people by nominalizing a characteristic trait." So what's up with this "Chiyosuke" that I see in the sub?

Yow, would you like a little meat with your fat?

No, Yukari, it's just that, having had upper-class food, she can cut through the artificial value placed on such delicacies and tell you what she actually prefers. At least, that's what I think. :)

And of course, this all gets incorporated into Sakaki's concept of Chiyo's father. :D

Whoa. "Might I ask you something?" is pretty formal, all right. "Could I...", not so much.

I thought it was the year of the rabbit as of Episode 8...

Heh, love Tomo's little note of "uh-oh" when Yomi decides to sing. :D

"Heh, love Tomo's little note of "uh-oh" when Yomi decides to sing. :D"

Yeah, it is funny about Yomi and her singing. It's ironic and funny to note that her seiyuu, Rie Tanaka is a singer and has a very lovely voice. :) So, she must have thought it was quite amusing to "sing" in character like Koyomi does hehe

Mm, so I hear. Or... read. :)

I wonder how well Nancy Novotny sings when she's not intentionally being awful. Christine Auten definitely does well.

im impressed at sakaki's singing - though i wasn't surpriced.

i like osaka's scary stories because you always know she will say something out of content - i think that also goes to say for almost everything she says.

rofl tomo didn't know reindeers existed

I noticed that the Nyanpasu greeting from Non Non Biyori was secretly inspired by Osaka's Merry Christmas before the Santa section.

I found this episode quite weak. But the best still attach well, while the gang met the White Christmas, and ... dat shitty Kimura!

Seriously, tho, Osaka, your story really scary in the beginning. Need more cuteness from Chiyo. However, its Sakaki time to take a cuteness. Just laugh it off, girl, why you hesitate? XD

Got treated to a lot this episode.

Sakaki rushing out of the classroom to buy the panda book, Osaka smelling someone else's fart in her own bedroom (would actually be rather creepy), Kagura not wanting to crush a kid's Santa dreams before seriously arguing with Tomo about Santa, Tomo not knowing reindeer are real (albiet without the ability to fly), Yukari becoming bored of teaching English, Yomi's 'singing', and Kimura showing up at the end "White Christmas".

"Cute" pandas. x3

"I smelled a fart that wasn't mine." Well, that was a pretty scary story.

Yukari: "Have you ever eaten something called Matsusaka beef?"
Chiyo: "Oh, yes, I have!"
*SLAP!* Haha. This scene was so hilarious. xD

Santa is paid by the government. And Tomo didn't know reindeers exist. Lol.

That karaoke part was fun. Sakaki has a really beautiful voice. Ayumu wasn't bad either. But then there was Yomo... x3

damn roast against yukari sensei she deserved tbh


yukari is such a b this episode

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Their pandas are hideous. 

Yukari and me on the same wave length of buying luxury food.

THE GOVERMENT PAYS SANTA.

I think the extension of the karaoke panels from the manga was the best choice they've done in the adaptation. Yomi being awful specifically.

Aw man that was probably my favorite episode so far.
I love how Tomo-Chan is both clever and obtuse all at once, and how Sakaki always has such a strong reflex when it comes to super cute ideas in her head (and the whole running gag of her believing Chiyo's father is that damn cat lol).
Sakaki actually being a top-tier singer was awesome to see too and I think speaks a lot to her character, she might seem shy but she's actually not, she's just genuinely quite and to herself.
And mad respect for Yomi lol, she's right though it's not about the voice but the heart.

I can't really blame Tomo for thinking raindeers don't exist. They don't have red-nosed ones and can't fly but they look fictional. But that's just me living in a tropical island so I've never seen one in person before.
