I loved this episode!
And I'll be honest. I was kinda losing interest in this show but this episode brought me back!
Firstly I found it hilarious. Kitamura was great as buff shirtless Santa. Ami and Taiga singing together was funny in an ironic way. Inko-chan was awesome as usual. Ryu's mom. Pedobear is Santa. Other stuff.
I felt sad for Taiga and Minori though. Minori saw that Taiga had fallen for Ryuuji so she rejected him. Now that should've been a serious scene but him in the bear suit and falling down after saying "I got rejected by Kushieda?" made me burst out in laughter.
Seriously looking forward to next week. :D
Also, props to Minori. She really is a good friend to Taiga sacrificing her own happiness for her.

So Minorin finally rejected him, although it would have been nicer for him if she didn't have to drag it out for so long. Now it would only be natural for a Taiga Ryuuji match-up to occur, but I don't think that things can ever be that simple. He was supposed to have all these feelings for Minorin, and now that she said no, he's just going to settle for Taiga? I'd be pissed off if I was Taiga. It's all about how Ryuuji handles this situation right now, he could really screw it up badly. Not quite 'School Days' badly, but he's kind of an idiot, so I'm sure it'll be fun to watch.
You have to remember Ryuuji's been building feelings for Taiga for a while now. He kind of hid them behind his borderline obsession of Minori. Now that she's out of the picture I think his feelings will become more clear to him. But as you said, he is stupid so maybe he won't. :lol:
