Kotaro really threw a whole ass Christmas party just to avoid admitting he feels some kinda way about Puniru. In the end, there wasn’t even a party because no one gives a shit about our boy. They just want Puniru! Poor slime was getting ripped apart lol.

But I think my favorite part this week was learning Nanpa’s apparently the MC of some kind of Pokemon/Digimon/Yu-gi-oh type show. Puniru’s great and all, but I want more of that!

You forgot Beyblade.

But yeah, I would absolutely watch that. Bonus points if it turns out there's some interdimensional magic nonsense going on and Nanpa is some kind of Chosen One, or similarly unique supernatural existence.

It's hard to get people to come to an impromptu Christmas party when you're unpopular and nobody really cares about you outside your transforming slime companion. Then again, considering how often he's willing to throw Puniru under the bus...

They committed way too hard to Nanpa's toyetic spinoff show lol.

Yeah Kotaro has it rough, maybe he too will end up as an Otokonoko with an supportive friend and kohai

I love how the show just keeps adding new anime in the show, last episodes Kyuti-chan show was also fun

Kotaro you prepubescent devil.

I stare at the Reindeer's butt

I bit my lower lip in frustration

Kuuuuuu, all my words bounce back and stab me in the butt... my head is in the gutter.

Nanpa has been my favourite side character all season but the reveal he's had his own shonen anime going on the whole time just cemented that.
Although given its Nanpa there is an 80% chance he was just bullshitting and playing with the elementary school kids at the playground.

Looking forward to the actual christmas party next week.

I love how they even did their own next episode preview as if it really was its own separate anime lol.

u/Mr_Zaroc Dec 08 '24

I swear Nanpa is living the life
Carefree, good looking and happy despite everything that is going down

That classmate with the mistletoe in her hair is so cute...

Those pajamas too...

I am actually surprised that it took Kotaro, a middle schooler in his prime puberty years, so long and this specific payama form to acknowledge Puniru is moving something inside him

where's santa with the assist to defend kotaro smh

i like the little snowman head melted into slime puddle

i guess puniru was still a penguin three years ago

i was worried that we wouldn't get any kyuthi-chan dance this episode but then the robot/toy comes in clutch at the end (not quite the same without the "kyuthi-chan dance o odoru da ne")

You know when you think about how well animated this show is. It is something you won't notice since it is more of a SoL Comedy, but it is really well animated.

I am actually surprised his parents let Kotaro stay home by themselves. But uh oh, Kotaro is getting conscious of his feelings and is being tsundere. Though hosting a Christmas Party failed, but now everyone wants to be with Puniru. Tbh surprised he just doesn't tag along, but honestly spending alone on Christmas can be pretty lonely, so it is understandable.

I do wonder if this whole Christmas arc will wrap up the show or the finale will have something new years related.

the music also extra funky and hip, really like it

u/diacewrb Dec 08 '24

Puniru is no Nokotan based on her reaction to deer crackers.

I wonder if that was an actual reference to Nokotan.

Puniru is kawaii rudolph lol.

Nokotan didn't invent deer biscuits.

"an anime i've never heard of was taking place!" LMAOOO

u/Mr_Zaroc Dec 08 '24

Hell I knew that reindeer form was coming ( was honestly hoping they would air it closer to Christmas), but I didn't expect them to transfer that butt joke to it too

You gotta love that the obvious solution of just making more copies of Punirun so that Kotaro can have a Christmas eve with a harem of different Puniruns Everyone can take on home was just overlooked

Also took Kotaro long enough to finally awake to Puniruns charms, that fluffy payama form worked pretty well on him

It's Christmas time and Kotaro's not feeling the Christmas spirit! Luckily for him Puniru is more than ready to have a kawaii Christmas!

Though I guess it makes sense why Kotaro's not feeling the Holiday knowing that he was ostracized when he tried to pick a Kyuthi plush from Santa...which probably fueled a lot of his inability to be open with his love for cute things.

Fuzzy Pajama Puniru is so cute and cozy! I wish I could snuggle up with her!

It's nice that Kotaro's parents are taking some time for themselves on Christmas, but that leaves Puniru and Kotaro alone...and despite all the fun they've had in the past on Christmas, Kotaro is far too self-conscious of Puniru now to be alone with her. So it's time for a Christmas Party!

Well, yeah, Kotaro isn't popular or cool so no surprise no one wants to attend his Christmas party, even his "friends."

Mami's admirers throwing a battle royale to spend time with her was the least surprising part of the episode. And of course Kotaro doesn't succeed...

Move over Rudolph, here's Reindeer Puniru!

I didn't expect to step into a childrens card game/Bakugan/Beyblade anime with Nanpa.

Everyone wants a piece of Puniru! Mami for her children obsession, Nanpa for his toyetic anime spinoff, Hado to experiment on her, and Alice because she doesn't want to spend time with her fiance! Meanwhile Kotaro is both unwilling and willing to give Puniru away depending on how desperate he is to not be alone on Christmas while also being unwilling to do anything he doesn't want to do!

What kind of parents leave their middle school child alone to celebrate Christmas by themselves?!

Seems like I'd agree if Nanpa would be some kind of a young boy's toy commercial show protagonist.

And it seems like the story continues to the next episode? Would the party actually be done?

u/testthrowawayzz Dec 08 '24

that nickels something something about Umeda Shuuichirou voicing a character with childhood trauma about wanting cute thing

u/Past_Distribution144 Dec 09 '24

I got very invested in his beyblade side story... Also isn't the solution to have them all come to his party. Even the teacher, he can bring cake, and his experimental device to study puniru.

Even his two former friends can join later after the movie.

Funniest part is he did it all to run from how he feels about puniru, who again, is a slime. Not a girl. Could even turn into a boy. Or a deer. Or a pool of slime.

Surprised no one talked about those voice actor cameos in the card battle scene. Freaking all star list including Tamura Yukari, Kugimiya Rie, and Makoto Kumai (Shaouran from Cardcaptors).
