I'm so glad to see Yorimoi still getting some love 'round these parts. The fact that it took this long for a Western release was mind-boggling (similar to its Winter 2018 cousin, Yuru Camp), but at least it finally got here.
Anyone catching up with it now? Get ready for a Feels Ride. 1101 |

I have no idea why Coop's screenshots have the barest amount of letterboxing to them, but as a fan of that practice of formatting a 16:9 video to a 4:3 format, I wholeheartedly approve it.

Hey, I like Hando Sheikā/Hand Shakers and the GoHands animation style (especially the weird camera angles and flowing hair).
The Penguin Maru is a ship, not a boat. Thankfully they portrayed the ice breaking properly (icebreakers ride up over the ice and fracture it with their weight, not plow through it on an even keel). |

Funny you mentioned Rankin-Bass's Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, and Rankin-Bass also happened to did their own version of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus in 1985, because of their stop-motion work were done in Japan by the same team and company that would do Nutcracker Fantasy. So this get into the debate about if Rankin-Bass's work should be re-classify as anime, given that Nutcracker Fantasy would be classified as anime, then does that applied to all of Rankin-Bass's work that involved using the same stop-motion "Animagic" technique like Nutcracker Fantasy used. I mean I don't want to turn this into a "Is this anime? debate", but just like to point that out.
Also, I almost forgot there was an anime adaptation of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus from 1996 like you mentioned in the This Week in Anime article. Sad that this particular anime never got pick up for licensing and distribution outside of Japan/Asia. I would love it if Discotek, or even Crunchyroll can get that anime, something with no English dub, but can be subtitled would be interesting for our little kids (with a very high reading skills/level) that enjoyed watching subtitled anime. |
