Christmas is a time in Japan for couples to get together while friends go do karaoke. As such, a number of anime series have tackled the holiday including K-On, My Hero Academia, Winter Sonata, and even The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. Perhaps one of the best Christmas anime titles out there is Tokyo Godfathers, and we’re sure more festive projects will pop up down the line.
