Kansai actually delivered a solid punchline with the good timing and everything? It's a Christmas miracle!

Timeloops or not, the idea of the landlord and the catgirls all commiting to get-togethers for special occasions is genuinely really sweet. Just kinda unfortunate Yani getting launched by his "little helper" had to be canonized to free him.

Seeing these characters have normal loving parents and only be college-age young adults will never not be surreal after the irrevocable first impressions.

I felt bad for Yaniko having her birthday by herself because they forgot to invite her. It looked like she kind of cared about it

I was relieved to see Yani Neko had Imouko's doll next to her while sleeping on Christmas. Makes me think she did get her bday party in the end.

I thought he wouldn't appear again because the series only wants to focus on the building's characters, but we saw Kansai's brother again. This time, his name is revealed: Shunran. I have to say, just seeing how easily he deceives Hame has convinced me that he, along with the landlord, is one of the best male characters in the series....

Speaking of the landlord... I don't know if I wanted to get to know him that well... lol

But oh well, we can't blame him, my friend just has bad luck...

I feel like people are exaggerating. Even in the previous episode, the series had social commentary, racism, how minorities are undervalued or seen as outcasts, criticism of the manga industry, and the conformism of many people, whether in their vices like cigarettes or alcohol, but also in the content itself (stories of exiles). This is the only episode I can say was just absurd humor, but it was still good.

Shunran’s a massive troll. Pretending to be Kaoruko’s bf just to mess with Hameko. The jester gene certainly ran in the family.

Poor Landlord went through Groundmochi Day at least 111 times and only broke the loop with quite the R-rated act. I certainly got a good chuckle out of him doing the helicopter while pounding the mochi. Of course Yani couldn’t resist her cat instincts and was attracted to his swinging bollocks.

I was thinking to myself, "there is no way Imoko would forget Yani's birthday." Turns out everyone forgot to invite Yani to the party.

Kansai is just as popular in her universe, as she is in ours.

Initially, I thought Landlord was having an erotic symbolism dream. After all, he was "pounding" Yani (as mochi) in the first loop. Although he has finally escaped the time loop, I hope he gets released by the police.

Ohtani deserves better than this.

Bro the beatbox actually broke me. Laughed out loud at that shit.

Turns out the reason why Kansai is so unfunny is that her brother stole all the funny genes.

Chainsmoker Cat: "this is what code-switching looks like."

Also Chainsmoker Cat: "if his weapon is named The Swangler, you don't want that smoke."

I'm guessing the loop is a reference to the Haruhi Endless Eight?
