| I had thought the fundraiser for it went under? Well, that's good to hear, looking forward to next Winter. |
 |
| Oh it's a 30 minute film? Thought it would be longer. Character designs are okay, but this still seems interesting. Liking the cast too. Winter's a long wait though! |
| Another 8 more months to go ;_; Looking forward to this though. |
 |
| Lookin forward to this. I heard that this is for a good cause. |

| Looking forward to it. |
| Ironic, I just learned about this yesterday on here. Not many Christmas anime so this should be interesting. 30 minutes is pretty disappointing though, but ah well, that will make it an easy watch. |
| Another page to the history of the Fujaku. |
| The poster look like someone who did the Atelier Dusk series. |
| It looks terrible. It's going to be your typical anime with little cutesy girls except in a Xmas setting this time. And it still baffles me how anime in 2014 is still inferior animation wise to American cartoons from 20 years ago. |
 |
| Maybe I'll watch for Christmas. |

| not my thing but good for the kids |
| Kaji Yuki is becoming the male version of Kana Hanazawa, jesus... Also, This movie is supposed to be 30 minutes long?? That's basically an episode of a regular show... what the hell? |

Most likely doing the production for merchandising, advertising, etc. all in one go to release it by then and perhaps stalling it just for the sake of releasing it on Christmas. It'd be odd to watch a Christmas-based anime in the middle of Spring/Summer. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| i guess Christmas and santa will be coming early this year |
