Possibly Canonical Christmas OVA
The Possibly Canonical Christmas OVA is the third installment in Das Pacito AMV Warriors, and the first bonus OVA episode. It details the adventures of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the United States of America as they discover the meaning of Christmas.
Summary
On December 24, 1936, Lenin and Marx are being dangled over a cauldron by a death cult, moments from death. Lenin asks why they're in this situation, and Marx answers with a story.
Back during December 24, 1921, Marx and Friedrich Engels take a trip to New York City. They find themselves fascinated by America's "unique" culture, particularly the idea of Christmas. However, Marx's wallet is promptly stolen by a young boy. An hour later, the boy – named William – has arrived at his home, where he discovers the wallet is full of borscht, and is lectured by his mother Mary. Marx and Engels arrive at the house, and Mary tells him to return the wallet to them. As compensation for their troubles, she invites them to the family's Christmas party, where they can learn the meaning of Christmas. The two are invited into the family's upper-class home, where they are formally introduced to Mary, William, Mary's husband Robert, and William's sister Mari, who looks suspiciously like a hentai character. Robert suggests that each of the family members give the Europeans a lesson on what the meaning of Christmas is.
First, Robert tells Marx and Engels that Christmas is about connection, and the three spend an hour with Robert's "secret friends" robbing a bank. Mary's lesson emphasizes the consumerism that society has pressured her into. William brings Marx and Engels into a snowball fight, where he promptly gets wrecked by Mari; finally, Mari tells them the meaning of Christmas is presents, and attempts to peek at hers, before being apprehended by men hired by Robert to protect the presents.
Soon, the time for the party arrives. A range of celebrities is present, but the party is quickly interrupted when Robert's friend Jimmy is murdered. One of the guests, Thomas Nast, suggests that Santa Claus is the culprit, and nobody present knows enough about Santa to dispute the claim. Robert declares intentions to chase Santa down, but back in 1936, Lenin is getting impatient and asks Marx to speed the story up. He runs through a series of shenanigans including Robert beating up Santa, Robert killing Krampus after Krampus proclaimed he killed Jimmy, Mari and William fighting off a drow invasion, Santa's elves going on strike, and Engels being very confused and deciding to return to Russia. Eventually, all of the villains are defeated, from Cthylla to the Drow King, and everyone group hugs, even after Mari reveals herself to be a vampire.
Marx's story ends, and he explains to Lenin that he believes Engels is behind the current attempt on the duo's lives. One of the cult members unmasks himself, revealing himself to be Engels, who had infiltrated the group in an attempt to save the duo. The two make up, and the cult reveals itself to be an anti-borscht cult who plans to boil them alive in reverse borscht. Marx kills the cult members with a hammer and sickle, Engels decides he's done with this nonsense and leaves, and Lenin and Marx return to Russia, where Trotsky is panicking about the state of the country. The three Communists decide to eat Christmas borscht together.
