This anime must be considered an avant garde cultural piece in to the fore of the movement into deeper, more intellectual and philosophically thought provoking Japanese Works. There are clear influences of Freudian Theories on the overall story and can be used to explain the choices and characters in the story. For example, both the protagonists, Yuzu and Mei must be considered physical representations of the positive and negative Oedipal Complex concepts. In addition to this, the subtle nods to primitive psychology are present throughout the story. Clearly the Christmas cake scene and the behavior of the characters within the setting can be explained through a deeper analysis of the more well placed details many viewers may ignore. The strawberry base of the Christmas Cake can be used to explain the behavior of the two titular characters through the fact that strawberry is a natural aphrodisiac and unleashes the primal yet provocative inner repressed natures of the two. This is truly why the anime must be regarded as a revolutionary phenom in the industry.
