Because anime is so diverse, it can be enjoyed on any given occasion. This year, how about a couple for Christmas? Examine the list.
There is an inexplicable charm to Christmas. It’s a nice, cozy time that unites people and revives cherished customs. This time of year is a boom for the entertainment industry as well, with new and improved films and TV series that fit the Christmas theme. Some people, though, might have an alternative preference to the custom of watching Christmas classics. They might be anime fans, you never know.
To help those people fully embrace the Christmas spirit and make sure they don’t miss anything, we’ve compiled a list of the greatest feel-good anime. These anime may not be entirely focused on Christmas, but they do have a warm, sentimental vibe that is ideal for a chilly winter night.
1. Sonata for Winter
The “Winter Sonata,” also known as the “Fuyu no Sonata,” is the ideal place to start this list for all of you lovers of bittersweet romance. It is a complete angst fest and is based on a K-Drama of the same name.
It tells the story of Joon-sang, a quiet, introverted adolescent with a musical talent. He relocates to a small town and enrolls in the local high school, where he falls in love with a classmate named Yoo-jin. Everything changes when Joon-sang is involved in an accident and allegedly dies, leaving Yoo-jin behind.
The premise, angst, and wintery setting of “Winter Sonata” make it an ideal Christmas binge watch.
2. K-On!
Let’s shift the emphasis from angst to comedy. “K-On!” It’s a slice-of-life comedy anime about five girls’ high school experiences.
Sweet but awkward high school student Yui Hirasawa finds it difficult to fit in with the clubs at her school. Despite her lack of musical ability, she ultimately chooses to become a member of the Light Music Club. Four other girls from the club eventually become friends with Yui and form a band. The antics and adventures of these five unlikely friends are followed in the anime.
“K-On!” contains a straightforward plot and, in comparison to other anime on this list, rather straightforward artwork. It’s ideal for a relaxed late-night marathon session because of this.
3. The Somberness of Haruhi Suzumiya
An anime mystery-comedy with a hint of melancholy called “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” is ideal for the holidays.
“The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” chronicles the encounter between Kyon, a shrewd and doubtful teenage boy, and the unpredictable Haruhi Suzumiya. Because Haruhi is dissatisfied with her life, she forms the SOS Brigade club at her school. However, none of the club members she brings on board are regular folks.
4. The Bride of the Ancient Magus
Wit Studio is the producer of the dark fantasy anime “The Ancient Magus’ Bride.” It’s a fun watch with incredibly powerful artwork. It follows Chise Hatori when, after her family deserts her, she puts herself up for auction. Elias Ainsworth, an ancient mage with an animal skull for a face, purchases her.
5. Kanon
The supernatural romance drama “Kanon” features a lot of Christmas-themed elements.
It tells the tale of Aizawa Yuichi, who spends some time visiting his cousin’s city. Yuichi seems to have forgotten everything about his previous experiences in the city, having not seen his cousin in seven years.
Even though some of these anime don’t specifically have a Christmas theme, their wholesomeness and beautiful artwork make them ideal for a warm and comforting holiday.
