OK when I browsed through the list of titles to watch and came across this, judging by the name, I thought that this animation would be a kick ass gangster movie. Clicking on it I was surprised at the animation and how it started but figured “what the hell...give it a few more minutes”. When the story didn't pick up; was about to turn it off when one of the scenes in it made me laugh so put remote back on table and settled back in chair and am glad I did. For the first 10 or so minutes you would think that this was just another Christmas movie and it is but with a twist you don't see coming. A very real story with an overall heartfelt overtone at its core and I'm sure that it has something for everyone in it to enjoy. It would have also made for a nice live action movie but being animation gives it a little something between grotesque and adorable. Grotesque because of the three main protagonists and the way that they are drawn but also beautiful to behold as they fit the bill perfectly making for some laugh-out-loud moments. Watching this anime you might be tempted to ignore the whole but if you give it a chance you will find a very interesting and intriguing story within. Slow to start but is it worth watching........that's a big yes!
