Very obscure 45-minute 1991 anime movie: Christmas in January. Rated extremely low (5.46 / 10) on MAL, it's absolutely one of my favorite movies. It's whimsical and melancholic and so so interesting. Reminds me a lot of the Ghibli movie Ocean Waves, which is also an underrated gem (and, while I'm at it, the Kimagure Orange Road masterpiece sequel movie from the same director as Ocean Waves).
I really love stories that are just miraculous/odd/interesting excerpts of people's lives that are otherwise inconsequential. There was nothing grand or life-changing about the events in the story, but I will never forget the delicate social interplay in the shoe store, or the only scene that actually takes place in January at the very end: just a moment of reflection.
