ディベート Topic 12: What are your thoughts on holiday themes, like Christmas, Easter and Halloween, featuring in アニメ series?

Eh, they're alright I guess. I'm not a huge ファン of these kinds of theme uses, but sometimes they can be used well. I liked the ハロウィン depictions of One Piece characters that have been made - it's a good way to enjoy watching your お気に入り characters stretch a little beyond that's normal for them and into something あなた understand at least partially.

The artwork, I like. During the holidays, fanartists draw all kinds of pictures of their お気に入り 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 ランダム filler episode with no real plot relevance to make a joke about the holidays? Oh God, spare me.

I 愛 it. It's "fun" to me :) & I wish there was もっと見る 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 愛 my animes to do more. What I do not care for is that special segment aired at an off-time not correlating, lol. (like 表示中 their クリスマス episode in March! BOO. lol. That takes the "specialness" out of it when they do that.) But I am a ファン of the non-generic もっと見る special the better -NESS. :)

I usually like those episodes.... especially if the アニメ thinks outside the box of 'cliche' クリスマス episodes and does something different.

Like the Kimi to Boku episode [pictured]... it was humorous like the rest of the アニメ so it flowed really well. And they got roped into having to help.... it's like the タイトル should be "The クリスマス that went Wrong." But it turned out fun in the end and definitely made me laugh.

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

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