Itsudatte My Santa OVA Ep. 2
The second out of three episodes of Itsudatte My Santa continues the slapstick comedy begun by the first episode.
The episode begins with the “revelation” that Mai is stuck in the human world for at least a year (until the next Christmas) as a result of overusing her magical powers. Not too long after that, the story shifts to the beach, where Mai meets her sister, who is named Maimai…ahmm.
Well, Maimai’s role here is to be the harbinger of doom, or rather the person who announces the arrival of Mai’s childhood friend, Shirley. Like all childhood friends of course, they are hugely competitive (with each other) and when Shirley tells Mai that she (Mai) has to return to “Santa-land”, Mai refuses.
Not for long though. Mai meets up with one of her teachers at Santa-land, who happens to be selling food at the beach (well, what’s new?) and is talked into returning. The actual conversation is in fact rather vague (and you will know why in the next episode’s preview).
So, the seriousness returns as Shirley (with the help of Maimai, I think) tries to arrange some sort of farewell party for Mai and Santa - which meets many obstacles as Mai herself doesn’t seem to want to say goodbye. But a farewell party does occur as Shirley stops time just for Mai and Santa at the very last minutes of the day.
And there’s the end of the second episode. I’m not sure if you share my observations, but I seem to see some sort of pattern in this series: The plot goes something like “serious-slapstick-serious”. We’ll have to see about the next and final episode.

Oh, I don’t think there is a standalone ep.2 subbed yet. Mine was a ep.1+2 .mp4 package subbed by Froth-Bite.
