What are your favorite Christmas themed anime episodes or movies. My pick is Big O Act 12, "Demonseed". Especially for this line:
Dan: "Do you know the real reason we celebrate Heaven's Day? It's the day God's son was born."
Please don't flame me, Osaka, but I actually like Tokyo Godfathers.

Satoshi Kon for the win! Satoshi Kon > Hayao Miyazaki
Anyway, Azumanga Daioh's Christmas episodes is my favorite.

I liked Full Moon wo Sagashite's Christmas episode (yay for "Smile"!).
I think...that's about all I can remember. XD

I'd have to go with Ranma 1/2 "Tendo Family Christmas Scramble."

I don't much care for the show as a whole, but I find Love Hina's Christmas Special to be one of the best episodes of anything ever made.

I liked the Big O episode Daemonseed too, mostly because of that line you quoted. It was a good episode overall too.

Kimagure Orange Road's Christmas episode comes to mind. That was pretty funny.

The Love Hina Christmas Special was just beautiful. I loved how it focused entirely on the romance with barely a scrap of fanservice. And I LOVE that song near the end!

Episode 35 of Robotech, "Season's Greetings". Khyron was amazing in that episode.

All I really know are the two Hamtaro Christmas episodes (one for each season) and the Sailor Moon S movie; I guess my favorite of those is the second season Hamtaro episode. ^_^

Did someone say "Digimon"??? All I really know are the two Hamtaro Christmas episodes (one for each season) and the Sailor Moon S movie; I guess my favorite of those is the second season Hamtaro episode. ^_^
Awww...again with the Hamtaro! Though, I have to admit, the Christmas episodes with the Ham-ham's were cute!

the vandread one was nice. And now I want to watch big O again so I can see this episode you guys told me about(also bbecause its a great show in general.)
Yet the one I hate the most would be the manga of eccelsaga had to through away the book and swear never to touch anotherone because of that luckly its in the first book so I didnt wast too much money.

The Sailormoon S movie took place during Christmas. That was a whole flipping movie, though as someone said, Tokyo Godfathers was probably more Christmasy than SMS... I just don't like the way Christians were portrayed on there, and the random breast close up thing toward the end was sorta weird... Still, between that and Millenium Actress, I'd choose Tokyo Godfathers... Millenium Actress was far too disjointed...
Another good Christmas ep is the Nadesico one... I know something significant happens in that ep, I just can't remember what it was... (goes to find it)
EDIT: Oh, right, the turningpoint of the show, when [spoiler=Nadesico]The real Jovians show up... The episode would have ended better with "Akito (echo, echo)" The creators weren't really adept at creating suspense, I mean they give away who the leader of nergal is early on, as Well as the surprise about Ai... Of course, when I watched it, I missed two eps, so the show was much more interesting to me... I didn't know ahead of time about the chairman of Nergal or what happened to Ai, (though i figured it out in the memories episode... the Ai part, anyhow)[/spoiler]
