An unconventional entry into the anime canon, "Tokyo Godfathers" is touching without sugarcoating its hard edges.

Freaking hysterical. This movie is awesome, I had the rare pleasure of seeing it in a theater. It's about a homeless drunken bum, a transsexual who claims the bum as her own, and a run away girl. The queer claims the child and they go on a crazy adventure to look for the mother and ask her why she would leave a helpless child alone..

Action: 1 / 3, Comedy: 1 / 2, Good vs Evil: 1 / 1, Love/Sex: 1 / 1, Special Effects: 0 / 1, Plot: 1 /1, Music: 1 / 1 = 6/10 or 60%. Tokyo Godfathers is the story of society's outcasts who find an abandoned child on Christmas. They take in the child and scrounge up what food and support they can. While the idea and conceptual theme is that of the classic Christmas story it is also an essay on the humanity and kindness lost to witness through poverty and alternative lifestyles. The outcasts are a struggle to find high regard for, despite their unselfishness and kindness, which makes the characters a little too small for the big britches of the themes.
