Oh god. The ship-teasing is reaching unbearable levels. This is especially painful since we know that it won't be going anywhere.

Other than that, a wonderful episode. This is likely the closest we've gotten to a true slice-of-life series (please bear with me for using the term) in, maybe, a few years. The portrayal of Japanese culture and tradition, particularly that of New Year, in this episode was just excellent. There's just something in shows like these that allow you to appreciate the world around you. All-in-all, I'm glad to see the episode pay attention to the little intricacies in the nature of Japanese society. It really gives you a feel of how far away their world is from ours.

That aside, I also enjoyed it for some golden interactions between Eru and Houtarou.
