No, the gloves are a birthday gift, the story takes place in February and March. She also tells him something like "It can't be a Christmas tree, it's February, stupid" (IIRC).

Everything happens right around their common birthday, March 2nd.

Oh thats right forgot about that. Oh well too late to change the poll and anyways the christmas tree scene is still really sweet and has a Christmas feel to it, so I think it counts.

Yeah, this whole arc is amazing. I would have voted for it without a doubt if it really was Christmas :P

I voted for Toradora, I barely remember the others I've seen (Seitokai and Sakurasou) so it surely wasn't that great...

Centaur no Nayami manga getting an anime adaptation.

Looks cool, more monster girls is never a bad thing.

Is anything in Super filler though, really? Akira Toriyama is writing it with scriptwriters then reviewing and editing as necessary for the episodes. Since there is no source material, technically either all of Super is filler, or since Toriyama is involved with every episode, the whole thing could be canon. Even if some episodes are basically nonsense, if they're nonsense from the guy who made the series, it's basically as canon as Super can get.

Even if parts don't make it into the manga, since the manga is being adapted from the anime, the manga can't be considered the canon material for Super.

And this is why all of Dragon Ball may as well be considered canon because at this point the differentiation is basically nonexistent and layered with semantics.

Well, the expection to that is GT, since it was nullified by Super and was created with basically no involvement from Akira Toriyama. It was the closest equivalent to official fan fiction that we had seen until Fifty Shades of Gray found its way into American cinema.

If Ikusei Keikaku came before Madoka and Yuuki Yuuna it might have gotten a 9 or even a 10.
I don't like seeing so many likable characters just being slaughtered. There is no point to it and just makes me depressed. We won't even get a happy ending unless they throw everything overboard.

I will give it an 8 because it's really high quality stuff. But unless they magically revive everyone that's it. Drama for drama's sake shouldn't be encouraged.

Izetta might be my AOTS. The sheer quality is just amazing. Already looking hard for reasons to not give it a 10.

Another overlooked gem of the season is Stella no Mahou. It's just so adorable. It's something for everyone who also loved Non Non Biyori and Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka.

Main girl is so unbelievably sweet :)

I also love the minimalistic ED.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Diamond is Unbreakable - Bites the Dust / Crazy Diamond is Unbreakable Arcs.

Easily the best fight the series has presented thus far in my opinion.

The tension is off the charts from the beginning, Kira obtaining a new ability, out of his desire and despair of not getting caught, Killer Queen’s third bomb, Bites the Dust, which is a bomb that he can implant in Hayato that kills anyone that may inquire about Kira’s identity with Hayato and going back in time, in this case, when Hayato’s morning starts, both incredibly powerful and fitting for Kira it really makes you wonder how anyone would be able to defeat this stand, what follows is a great fight between Hayato and Kira, using his experience from the time loop to his advantage and fighting back with Stray Cat was awesome. And then Hayato's gamble calling Josuke at the start of the morning, making him hear Kira himself revealing his own identity to break the time loop. And then the real fight between Josuke and Kira begins, a slow yet very tactical fight, Josuke and Kira outsmarting each other, making it an incredibly tense and unpredictable fight, this last couple of arcs have been amazing and this is a great climax to the whole of Diamond is Unbreakable. Only one more episode left and there is no way Kira is getting out of this one alive, next friday come faster please.

Also David productions delivers once again in the opening department for both arcs, just perfect.
