Debate Topic 12: What are your thoughts on holiday themes, like Christmas, Easter and Halloween, featuring in anime series?

Eh, they're alright I guess. I'm not a huge shabiki of these kinds of theme uses, but sometimes they can be used well. I liked the Halloween depictions of One Piece characters that have been made - it's a good way to enjoy watching your inayopendelewa characters stretch a little beyond that's normal for them and into something wewe understand at least partially.

The artwork, I like. During the holidays, fanartists draw all kinds of pictures of their inayopendelewa characters in holiday scenes, and some are pretty good. On the other hand, I don't really care either way about seeing the actual theme in the series itself. If it just happens to be that time of year, according to the series' storyline, then so be it. But a bila mpangilio filler episode with no real plot relevance to make a joke about the holidays? Oh God, spare me.

I upendo it. It's "fun" to me :) & I wish there was zaidi of it! I grew up on special shows for kids airing at Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day- Charlie Brown, & other kid specials for such times and it always made me happy & excited! I wouldn't miss it! 'But then I am bias.

As a big kid, lol, I like watching certain new shows & I'd upendo my animes to do more. What I do not care for is that special segment aired at an off-time not correlating, lol. (like inaonyesha their krisimasi episode in March! BOO. lol. That takes the "specialness" out of it when they do that.) But I am a shabiki of the non-generic zaidi special the better -NESS. :)

I usually like those episodes.... especially if the anime thinks outside the box of 'cliche' krisimasi episodes and does something different.

Like the Kimi to Boku episode [pictured]... it was humorous like the rest of the anime so it flowed really well. And they got roped into having to help.... it's like the title should be "The krisimasi that went Wrong." But it turned out fun in the end and definitely made me laugh.

But overall, krisimasi episodes make me smile... they are usually cheesy but oh well, they make me happy. Which is what krisimasi should be. And usually it takes characters out of their usual every siku lives and adds in some fun and cute moments.

I also really like Valentines siku episodes and I absolutely upendo the traditional Japanese festival holiday episodes. :)
