Nice episode... this time preparation huh. Well I liked when they left Ami and Ryuuji left in room. I am amazed how Ami changed... She really meant it. I though she was going to play bitch till the end and I hated her at the start, but I now seem to respect her more. She is type of person who will hide her feelings for the sake of the others. I fell for girls like that. Of course I like Taiga better, cuteness is just... awwwwwwwwwwwwwww wanna take her home :3
I like how Taiga is changed for Christmas... It is nice of her, it even got Ryuuji, how kind is she to her family after all that painful experience.
And of course there is Minori... she is in pain and confused in past few episodes. She tends to avoid Taiga and Ryuuji. Well they made it obviously that even idiot would understand... She think herself as bother of Taiga and Ryuuji. And I think she wants to keep Ryuuji away from herself because she think of herself that she isn't worthy to be with Ryuuji.
Well I am only hating this show because Taiga is becoming celebrity... always hated school idols. -_-''

Wow at first since minorin's so complicated to figure out i thought maybe its cause she really was lesbian or something but that cant be the case... things are getting interesting and slightly more serious now. Looking forward to the next series of episodes

oMfG Minorin is getting steamy with Ryuuji holy shiit. Its kind of apparent that she has SOME feelings for Ryuuji, but i think something might go wrong when we find out why Minorins been so depressed lately, but then Ryuuji will save the day, make things right, and possibly confess :D

wth sad episode :(

why is Minorin so emo wth?:(
but if i were ryujum,i would go in front of her damn house and sleep there all the night xD,that's waiting for her i say :)

5/5

PS:it's obvious theat Minorin likes Ryuuji,but why is she avoiding him?O.o...maybe could it be that she's afraid not to take Ryuji away from Taiga or something?that wouldn't be too smart of her i think...but it does sound plausible

Minorin surely likes Ryuuji, so I think that she should confess too..

Agh. I am tired and intimidated by this strange love triangle or circle or mega-angle thingie...

I mean...

Taiga Likes Kitamura, Though deep inside she realizes she feels a vibe on Ryuuji, and Kitamura likes Sumire while starting to move on from her and Ryuuji tries to win Minorin, while knowing that she probably likes him, though heard from Kihara she likes Kitamura and wants Ryuuji to be with Taiga and that makes Ryuuji realize that he actually thinks Taiga is OK, but Haruta and Noto try to pair Taiga and Kitamura together SO WHAT THE...?

THIS IS A PLOT OF AN EVIL LOVE GENIUS!!!!!!

I'm really starting to get annoyed at Minorin right now.

But while she's going down the drain for me the other girls get a ton of points. Taiga, Ami and Kihara are great right now.

Hopefully Kushieda will come around eventually... Though I definitely agree that all the other female characters are pretty awesome at the moment - even Ami, who supremely annoyed me to begin with.

I'm amazed Ryuuji managed to put so much of that crystal star back together. Also... it was interesting to see Taiga not blushing at every instance that she interacted with Kitamura. (I don't believe she was blushing or getting all nervous when she asked him to put her own Christmas decoration at the top of the tree.)

Looking forward to the end of this arc and seeing how this concludes~

Man, when that star broke, my mouth just fell open. I didn't want it to happen, but when Kitamura said that it looked expensive, and Taiga said it was special to her. Anything special to anyone always gets broken five minutes later. ALWAYS.

I've never enjoyed Minorin's character much. Even now, while she's being all angsty. Maybe if they can give a reason eventually, which they probably will, but meh. For now, she's just being annoying. And also Kihara. I have mixed feelings about her. I'm liking Ami more, and Taiga is still my favorite girl in this whole show. Her character just makes me smile.

Good episode. I'm eager to watch the next one, since something big happens apparently, what with all of the comments on the episode discussion thread.

I have a neckle with a star just like that and one day it fell to the ground *sighs* It is really expensive and nothing really happened (just a little) but still beautiful.
Anyways this episode was really full of um emotion? Good episode :D

"Good" Taiga is really growing on me. ^^ Too bad she hasn't noticed that Ryuuji is "Santa Claus". The guy who had the epic dream already predicted it lol.

Ami-chan is seriously the best character in this series. She has developed a lot and has learned her place in the entire situation. She is the most mature and conforming. Not to mention model and playful while intelligent at the same time. I pity Takasu for being so blind.

This show has some really great conversation parts. Ami's talk was interesting and Ryuuji said some super-cool things; I loved his one line that went like "I'm not doing this to help you, I'm just doing what I should." So awsum.

Taiga really is an angel, aww. She's so sweet.

The scene with the tree was very powerful, I thought. Seeing that glorious tree fall and that star shatter, man. I felt bad just watching it. I can't imagine how guilty someone like Minori would feel after that.

These past few episodes have been pretty calm, so I'm expecting a storm to show up during all this Christmas cheer. Augh, I bet it's gonna be TRAGIC.

I'm feeling so bad Minorin :( Mostly because I knew someone before who was a lot like her and had to deal with a similar situation... Don't worry Minorin, time heals all wounds... But for god's sake PLEASE don't don't skip the xmas party DX !!

I actually wasn't expecting the tree to fall over but did expect the star to break...

I LOVED the scene with Ami and Ryuuji in the gym shed. I think she really has changed and I wish Takasu would see that. I'm still rooting for them but frankly the pairing between two characters with natures like theirs is rarely seen in anime so I'm not expecting anything (though I can wish!).

Still not understanding Minorin's behavior but I'm sure it'll come to light soon. Taiga is still making me smile :)

Awwww, depressed Minorin is depressing :(

The ball scene came so much out of nowhere. It killed the moment...

Though, fixing the crystal star was a cujte scene.

It seem like Ami have feeling for Ryuugi, if it continue, it'll finish in an harem xD

Taiga believing in Santa is so cute :3

So the show is slowly growing on me, though I don't think its as good as many other ones I've seen lately.

Out of any of the girls for Ryuuji, id have to go with Ami still, Minorin, idk whats going on with her and too much of Taiga urks me, though far less when she isnt being as aggresive.

Figures the star broke.

Saw disaster coming as soon as that star came out. Painfully obvious that something was going to happen.

Minori went from one of the best characters to one of the most annoying ones. Too much melodrama. I hope she improves again soon. :/

On other hand, I am liking Taiga and Ami more and more with the time.

Taiga's "Santa" thing with the orphanage was so heartwarming to listen to.

When that tree fell though, it was just O_O for me. I really didn't expect anything to happen at all. I thought they were going to end it on that good note of everyone seeing the tree all bright and finished.

You can see how the relationship and interest standings sloooowly change per episode. This is far better than I expected (and I expected it not to be so emotionally charged for some reason).

My jaw dropped when the ball smashed through the window. Hmm..

Wonder what Minorin's big issue is. Looking forward to the explanation behind the "is your guilt gone now?" thing.
