The most depressing anime Christmas movie. Thinking about the ending still bums me out.

It's kinda like asking whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not.

But yeah, I guess it is. (Kinda sad the manga is on hiatus now.)

They need to give out free hamburgers at the screening.

Also double feature it with Gundam Wing Endless Waltz!

Endless Waltz also takes place around Christmas, but I suppose that isn't celebrating an anniversary this year.

Endless Waltz is a Christmas Film right?

Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, which I have on DVD (and even a couple of Japanese Laserdiscs), is one of those anime that I intend to watch in December every year but it's almost three hours long so I never get around to it or I start it but don't finish it. (I mean, not that I never, ever watch it, but not annually and, when I do, not in December.)

There are basically ten "anime Christmas episodes" that I've settled on for my annual December Christmas anime viewing (which I started on December 6th with the Kamichu Shinto vs. Christmas episode, episode 13, "We Do as We Like") and the only "long" one is The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.
