A sunny late September weekend probably isn't the best time to watch a Christmas-themed episode of any anime, but this is particularly the case when that episode is, quite frankly, rubbish. The story surrounding the grand-daughter of Santa, who decides that she hates Christmas and sets herself up as a kind of anti-Santa, before being caught in a trap of Kyouka in the hope of getting presents and.... Oh, I can't even be bothered with the rest of the synopsis, so let's just say it was all a bit cliched and dull to the point of becoming irritating.

To be fair, this episode wasn't entirely devoid of humour, as it gave us Ouka dressed as a reindeer, Santa being shot down by an RPG and a guard refusing to shoot said Santa as it'll "make him a naughty boy", but that's just about where the laughs ended, leaving us back at the mercy of this wretched episode. If the last episode of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki was a minor masterpiece, then this particular offering is a minor travesty.
