Happy New Year 2017 from the Anime World! - Part I

posted on by Eric Stimson
BanG Dream!, Fūka, Demi-chan, and more

New Year's is the most important holiday in Japan, with families gathering to share big feasts and visit their local temple. New Year's cards (nengajō) are often sent to friends, family and acquaintances. Figures from the anime, manga and video game fields draw their own (usually featuring their own characters) and share them with the rest of us online. Here, then, is ANN's annual New Year's greetings round-up. As 2017 is the Year of the Rooster according to the Chinese zodiac, many of the greetings feature chickens, chicks, or roosters.

We'll have more greetings posted soon!
