वाद-विवाद Topic 12: What are your thoughts on holiday themes, like Christmas, Easter and Halloween, featuring in ऐनीमे series?

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

The artwork, I like. During the holidays, fanartists draw all kinds of pictures of their प्रिय 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 बिना सोचे समझे filler episode with no real plot relevance to make a joke about the holidays? Oh God, spare me.

I प्यार it. It's "fun" to me :) & I wish there was और 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 प्यार my animes to do more. What I do not care for is that special segment aired at an off-time not correlating, lol. (like दिखा रहा है their क्रिस्मस episode in March! BOO. lol. That takes the "specialness" out of it when they do that.) But I am a प्रशंसक of the non-generic और special the better -NESS. :)

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

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

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

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