From: Me To: You

So the last couple of months have been hell to me, and since I had to take my last final exam yesterday, Christmas has snuck up on me without warning and put this blogger into one serious holiday funk.

But then a little anime came out of nowhere and really cheered me up and finally put me in the holiday spirit.

“Itsudatte (Always) My Santa” is a two-episode OVA based on a one-shot comic by “Love Hina” and “Negima” artist Ken Akamatsu. I’m very much a heterosexual male, but I absolutely love this man! “… Santa” is a very simple, but very cute, story about a lonely boy who runs into Mai Santa Claus, who, as you might have guess, is Santa Claus in the form of a moé anime girl.

I highly recommend all of you fanboys out there download this series right now right before the actual holiday. I feel it’s the “Charlie Brown Christmas” for the otaku heart.

So from this anime blogger to every one of you out there reading this:

メリー・クリスマス!
Merry Christmas!
