EPISODE REVIEWS
This anime beautifully portrays the customs and traditions celebrated during Christmas and New Year. Even the act of cleaning the house is highlighted as an essential part of these traditions. It is regarded as important in preparation for the coming year, and this practice is also observed in my own home. This shared custom makes the story very relatable to me. I deeply miss those times, particularly being with family and friends. It evokes such a wonderful and heartwarming feeling.
It's nice to see Chihiro learn more about his mother and realize how much he resembles Madoka in terms of behavior.
From this episode, you can feel the heartwarming holiday aesthetics. The episode utilises rich, warm interior lighting and glowing golden hues to perfectly emphasise the cosy, comforting nature of a traditional family winter season inside the mansion.
