New Year Has Come: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

** A later manga chapter has the Sarge learn that he has been asleep for nearly a week, has missed New Year's and finds the house completely deserted (or so he thinks, it's revealed in a bonus chapter Kururu was hiding where the Sarge couldn't see him and didn't want to "babysit" him). He comes to the conclusion the Earth was invaded whilst he was asleep, puts on a Pekoponian disguise battlesuit and goes out to fight, only to find the Hinatas went to the temple to get their good luck messages for the year, and the others went home to be with their families.

* ''[[Twentieth Century Boys (Manga)|Twentieth Century Boys]]'' has New Year's Eve as the climax (kind of) of the first plot arc.

* ''[[Toradora (Light Novel)|Toradora]]'' takes up the plot on New Year's after a short [[Time Skip]] from the [[Christmas Episode]]/[[Wham Episode]]. It contains evidence that [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]] because {{spoiler|Taiga can talk to [[The Smart Guy|Yuusaku]] without stuttering and becoming a [[Dojikko]]. It turns out to be because she's over him and has realized she's in love with [[The Hero|Ryuuji]].}} A new beginning, of sorts.

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' has an episode where she goes to the temple with Tomoyo and gets an odd fortune from Eriol (i.e. one lacking in good luck that he magicked).

* In ''[[Future War 198X (Anime)|Future War 198 X]]'' Laura and Wataru are enjoying drinks on the balcony while [[Watching the Sunset]] on New Year's Eve, talking about their hopes for the future, right before hearing news that [[World War III]] has broken out in Europe.

Line 61:

* A ''[[Barney Miller]]'' episode takes place on New Year's Eve.

* ''[[The X-Files]]'' had "Millenium" as its New Year's episode. As suggested by the name, it aired in 1999 and is about superstition surrounding the new millenium. Perhaps surprisingly, it doesn't have to do with [[Y 2 K]]. It ''does'' have to do with religious fanatics using zombies to bring about the end of the world. In true X-Files style. "Millenium" pulls double duty as not only an X-Files episode, but the series finale to ''Millenium'', another Chris Carter show. It also marks the {{spoiler|first kiss between Mulder and Scully, just as the clock strikes midnight.}}

* Each season of ''[[Babylon 5]]'' lined up with a calendar year in the show's universe, but only the first season finale had the New Year's celebration as a backdrop. This being one of the show's famous [[Wham Episode|Wham Episodes]], by the time the ball dropped, [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore|quite a few major changes had happened.]]
