I was going to guess Sket Dance (the description said an otaku who never spoke featured), bu, if it's a summer anime, it should be...

Motto Ai Shiai Masho (from Morita-san wa Mukuchi), right?

Motto Ai Shiai Masho from Morita San Wa Mukuchi.

Round 254: And what you will be getting for Christmas is...

Hint: Search for charcoal on Microsoft's search engine. Not that doing that will help you find the answer.

Is there some significance to the word "Bing" in this context?

I don't have a single clue for what the hint could mean so...

Did it start airing after 2000? After 2005? On an even numbered year?

Is there some significance to the word "Bing" in this context? No. Not in the word's entirety, anyway.

Did it start airing after 2000? After 2005? On an even numbered year? Yes, yes and yes.

Is the anime Kurau Phantom Memory?

Nope. I have seen that anime and thought it was pretty good, but it's not the one I'm using for this round.

Did it start airing on 2006? 2008? 2010?

Did it start airing on 2006? 2008? 2010? Yes, no and no.

Binchou ondo? Iroha?

Search for charcoal on google... charcoal... coal... bing... coalbing... bingcoal... coal turns into diamonds, diamonds have the onomatopoeia ding, ding is the sound that is made when the cash register goes off, cash registers have money...

At any point in the series does a character have yen signs in their eyes as they get excited about cash?!

I'd be amazed if that train of thought is correct.

I think that's common enough to not help enough anyway though.

By the way, is there a specific trope for that? (Right now the closest trope I can think of is Wingding Eyes)

Wingding Eyes does explicitly include it.

Okay then.

Stop the converstaion already. Iroha from Binchou-tan is the correct answer.

Hint explanation: binchoutan is a kind of charcoal. Microsoft's search engine is called Bing, the first three letters of which are shared with "binchoutan".

You turn, Edmania.

Okay hold on, I'm gonna prepare an image for my hint.

Is the image a reaction video to two girls one cup?

...no.

Good.

I so didn't need that in my head Tomu...

It's better than the actual video of two girls one cup.
