I love this movie .I always have been a big fan of animation ,and is sad to see how under-appreciated is it .The Japanese animation is usually seen as stupid stories about giant robots and monsters ,with lots of sex and violence in stupid plots without sense ,but if you dare to look closer ,you will find true works of art ,gems that shine over all the underground crap that gives the anime a bad name (like "Vampire Hunter D ") Those gems make change my mind about anime ,like "Cowboy Bebop " the movies of Hayao Miyazaki , or this movie . Unlike the other anime movies ,this movie don't have a lot of action scenes , or giant robots or monsters .It's just a story of ordinary people that learns that they could be better and make heroic things thanks to the events that happen in their lives during the Christmas . And this movie is full of sincere emotions , and works very well as comedy as much as drama .Like that wasn't enough the animation is very good ,full of details in the scenery and the characters . Even the elements of magical realism make this movie more original and interesting . This is my favorite anime movie of all the time and it is one of the most artistic and beautifully made in all the long story of the Japanese animation . Oustanding !
