I loved when the hot pot was mentioned in the anime, and I loved watching the whole evening. I actually would have liked for the episode to be longer, but I'll take what I can get. I enjoyed the characters chatting about their past, about how they met and what made them stick together. It was a successful hot pot party. And it also helped me decide just which characters I like the most. During the first season it was really hard to pick favourites, but I think I can confidently say that one of my favourites is Kida. That might change while I watchthe next season, though, who knows what's happening next.

You can definitely skip the episode, won't miss anything important regarding the series, but it's still a fun watch.
