Winter Days is a difficult title to review so as an addon I found this review that provides a little more info.

if you do not regard Winter Days as an anime but rather as an animation movie, you'll enjoy it much more. By animation movie I mean something that goes further than the typical american or japanese animated movies.

You will not find many movies where so many animators participate. I think some of them also helped in "The Book of the Dead".

It is not for everyone and very few have seen it, I agree so it is not mainstream.


Anthology movies tend to be about the individual animators' expression. It's like freeform jazz- sometimes they're just churning stuff out, sometimes they paint a beautiful portrait of their individual interpretation, but half the time the artists have more fun than the viewers. That's okay. I can see where they were going with it- it's disappointing that it didn't turn out so well. I might look it up anyway, though; so thank you, Mr. Sevakis.

Reminds me of a piece called "Anijam" released by Canadian animation company Rocketship International in 1984. 22 animators were involved. Each person had to start and end their segment with a drawing of director Marv Newland's character Foska. The film was about 10 minutes long so it was a short and snappy piece. Newland had no pretenses of a great theme there. It was an "animation jam" and an outright free for all. The whole atmosphere of anarchy was about the only unifying element. I for one certainly enjoyed that one.

PS: And yes Yu-Gi-Oh! is the best thing since sexual intercourse, which is overrated anyway.


Ah! Yes yes! I'm sure you'd think that seeing how you're sexually frustrated! must be hard luring in 8 year old girls in this day and age huh? Anyways I'm done here! This article stinks! do better next time guys!

*Sigh* You sure don't know when to stop do you? I've taken all this jokingly, but that's pretty close to personnal insult and if you didn't get the fact that I was maybe 8 at the time I was a Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon fanboy, there ain't a lot I can do for you. And even if I was sexually frustrated I don't think it would have been pretty unusual for a 15 years-old to be. Glad you are done, next you should think about growing up (edit: and learn to argument, because "this article suck, bye" ain't really convincing).

I have the Yuri Norshtyn collection with six films, Tale of Tales and The Hedgehog in the Fog are wonderful. I've been meaning to see this for years (I've seen a couple of the segments online) but never got a hold of the DVD.

Tale of Tales is my all-time favorite animated film, and a huge inspiration for the piece I'm working on now. Always nice to see some Norstein love. Smile Have you seen any parts of The Overcoat yet? Absolutely phenomenal.
