Oh gawd, an actual Christmas episode. For the majority of the first half, I was really laughing at how silly Lag looks with that fake beard and moustache of his. And yet, despite this silly premise this was a heart-warming episode, and the creators really should do more episodes like this. It’s ironic, but this filler was exactly what this series needed.
At least, I assume it’s a filler, because otherwise the timing would have been a bit too perfect. I’m not exactly sure whether I understand this premise of the Christmas of this series correctly, does everyone go around and help little orphan kids or something? In any case, it again showed the rather cruel nature of the world this is set in, in which most kids and orphans are just left to their fate, to take care of themselves. Often shunned. I’m not exactly sure where they get their money from, though.
In any case, the girl was heart-warming in the way that she still kept living her life, despite having lost her parents. A very nice episode overall and while Zazie’s little bit of development may have been a bit cheesy, it still was pretty nice in the end.
Rating: * (Good)
IT DO was a filler, not present in the manga. Sadly, the next one is too.
This series just drags horribly without Nichi.
Where does she get her money, and how did she cook a turkey that quickly?
