X’mas is coming to town~
Not sure if others find this episode as touching and heartwarming as I did, but I admit to being teary before the end of it.
First things first, the animation in this episode is really pretty, especially the snow (hence the picture overload). Production I.G. is definitely proving that it can do snow + town scenes as well as Kyoto Animation can during their Key works. I might have touched on this before, but the background music is as beautiful as the animation is. Turning our attention back to the story, this episode does an excellent job in displaying Sawako’s dilemma in choosing between her family and her new-found friends. This definitely can’t be helped, since her family is all that she has before this year, so spending X’mas together is something that is taken for granted by her parents, especially since it holds so much meaning, memories and emotions for them. On the other hand, Sawako would want to experience her first X’mas with her treasured friends and Kazehaya too.
Remember how I have been shouting at Kazehaya to confess and date Sawako? Now I no longer feel the same as before. Kazehaya and Sawako seem to have this delicate bond of love and respect, and I doubt being attached is going to strength this bond. In fact, it might even weaken it since Sawako would be too nervous to face Kazehaya directly. As such, I’m starting to realise that the current relationship seems most ideal for Sawako at this moment while she first gets accustomed to interacting with other people around her.
PS: I want this!!! Will someone buy one for me…
