EDIT: 12 Days of Christmas Anime for 2012 begins here.
Christmas is finally upon us! Snow is falling (well…not here in Texas), decorations are up, silver bells are ringin’, and shoppers are filling the stores to buy gifts for loved ones.
What a great time to watch anime.
“Hmm?” you say? While anime and Christmas are two words that don’t seem to go together, anime fans know that the medium is full of Christmas-related episodes. Though often portrayed in a more romantic context than it is in the west, many of these episodes can nonetheless help put us in the Christmas spirit. So as with last year, Beneath the Tangles will count down the twelve days until Christmas by unwrapping a Christmas anime episode each day. Join us starting tomorrow as we go through some of the best Christmas episodes in anime – some newer and some older.
And if you’d like, why don’t you watch along with us!
