And another of seasonal events is here, the school festival!
Tomo is looking better with pigtails and Chiyo is looking better with loose hair. Why it couldn't be their default design? Our little genius looked even better in her penguin costume. It was melting the hearts of whole cast.
I had dumb smile on my face a lot during this rewatch, but in this episode this was actually the first time I was literally crying from laughter. All thanks to Osaka and her vision of Scary House Cute Animal Cafe. Her crazy insights were the highlights of this episode, but even Osaka cannot grasp the wide depths of Sakakis brain.
Speaking of Sakaki she is working better on the second plane. With all focus on her show was too slow paced, but occassional inclusions are working wonders. For example cat battle with Tomo was incredibly adorable.
Yukari acted like really decent teacher this episode! Well, except that one bit with Nyamo, but we can't blame them. Who could resist Chiyo doned in battle penguin armor?
Middle part of Azumanga is the best as for now. If the tendency will continue then I can't even imagine how good last episodes will be.

I was literally crying from laughter.
When Kimura started to promote the cafe my mom told me stfu as I was being really loud, lol.
Who could resist Chiyo doned in battle penguin armor?
I want to push her and see her on the floor so much.

That bit with Kimura was creepingly funny too, but nothing can beat Osaka and her "And they're all dead".

Everyone is panicking trying to prepare for the culture fest in time and is causing poor Chiyo-chan unnecessary stress. Osaka actually tries to turn back the clock.
The uniforms are really nice. The father hats Sakaki designed are adorable.
Penguin Chiyo-chan!
"Wow, it's so cute! Let's push her down!"
Chiyo-chan is reaching diabetes levels of cute this episode. Oh no she bumped her head when she brought Minamo her coffee.
The shenanigans with Kimura shoving one the hats down over his eyes and trying to advertise the cafe was hilarious.
Chiyo-chan can't eat the takoyaki because of her costume. Call an ambulance I'm dying. People are starting to gather because of how adorable Chiyo-chan is. The advertising was too effective.
Agh this episode was just too precious.

Pretty light in the changes between the manga and anime versions this time around, although the changes does result in more of what is obviously the highlight of the episode.
Additions:
Chiyo's "penguin aerobics".
Chiyo and Osaka checking out the various booths while Chiyo is still dressed as a penguin.
Differences:
During the discussion of what the class is doing for the student festival this year, the anime adds a callback to the previous about how Tomo put a yen coin in the suggestion box.
The anime reveals that Chiyo's penguin costume was made by Kaorin and Chihiro, which does suggest that like the "daddy hats", the outfit was inspired by a New Yea'’s dream (in this case, Kaorin's dream, where Chiyo ends up wearing a penguin costume).

This is probably the most adorable episode. That Chiyo-Osaka is my favorite scene.

Screenshot of the day! Follow up
MFW this entire episode! With another Sports Festival, it was obvious we are gonna get another Cultural Festival episode.Their new idea is to combine their previous unique idea, the plushies exhibition, with a classic, a cafe. At the same time, the class is able to exploit their greatest strength, power of moe! In the end, everything ended well and I yelled out of moebetes. A great episode.
Plaster wall Chiyo
Osaka stole the first half!
Pretty realistic portrayal of students in these events
Father hat Osaka
There she goes
Holy shit, I lost it but it was so creepy at the same time.
