History YMMV / TokyoGodfathers

* BreatherEpisode: [[LighterAndSofter Lighter]] than the majority of Satoshi Kon's works, which range from {{Drama}} to PsychologicalHorror and usually provide a more cynical outlook on mankind and Japanese society. This one is more of a comedy that rests firmly on the idealistic end of [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism the sliding scale]], and was also released between ''Anime/MillenniumActress'' and ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'', the former being a TearJerker and the latter [[NightmareFuel very dark and intense]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film ''will'' make sure you know how the homeless are mistreated and judged by society, but the sheer extent of the heroes' struggles makes its all the easier to sympathize with the unfairness of their situation.

* TheWoobie: The three main characters, with their sad backstories and pitiful living conditions, certainly qualify, as does [[spoiler: the movie's AntiVillain, Sachiko.]]

* BreatherEpisode: A bit [[LighterAndSofter lighter]] than the majority of Satoshi Kon's works, which range from {{Drama}} to PsychologicalHorror.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted as there seem to be several female characters named Kiyoko, including two major characters.

* TearJerker: A lot. Miyuki's dream sequence may count. "Where's my angel? What have you done with Angel?"

* MoralEventHorizon: The nameless hoodlums crossed it when they gravely beaten and injured a homeless old man ForTheEvulz.

* MoralEventHorizon: The nameless hoodlums and secondary antagonists crossed it when they gravely beaten injured a homeless old man ForTheEvulz.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Plenty. Notable amongst these is the scene when Miyuki is getting along with the Spanish mother, despite a language barrier; it has a sweet moment when the mother asks after Kiyoko, and Miyuki says, somewhat ironically, "The baby? A gift from God," to which the kind Spanish mother replies, "Yes!"
** The ending is pretty much packed with this. [[spoiler:Sachiko's husband tells her that he'll shape up and that they can start over together, the baby is saved and returned to her parents, all three of the protagonists make peace with their loved ones, and Kiyoko's parents insist on making them the baby's godparents, homeless or not (which is even more sweet, when you consider how badly they were treated previously just because they were homeless).]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: At the end, when [[spoiler:baby Kiyoko is accidentally dropped from a rooftop; Hana ''runs down the side of the building'' and catches her. If anyone deserves to be a mother, it's her.]]
** Don't forget [[spoiler:that Hana and Kiyoko are saved by Hana's grabbing onto a building-sized poster -- as a gust of wind blows at just the right amount to bring them safely to the ground. As if God is saying "[[InMysteriousWays Good job.]] Let me take care of the rest."]]

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: There are a bunch, but the scene where Gin is dressed up (against his will) in a PimpedOutDress got this troper on the floor.
** And,
---> "He really ''was'' [[MisterSeahorse eating for two]]!"
