Finished the first grid, but no idea what/who it's supposed to be, so I'll leave it at that and say thanks and bump! :)

OK, 2nd one looks familiar, but neither I nor my kids can place it. I haven't figured out the color scheme, if there is one, but I think we can see it well enough just picking random colors - we just don't know who it is, despite lots of Google searching.
Sooo...back to saying 'Thanks for the puzzle! :)"

ghaaa why you all wanna try to guess colors xD if they are provided and visible :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I know...silly me...I just like making things hard. :P
The rest of the puzzle I'm sure I know how to solve technically, and I think I know what to do with the colors, but I don't think it would help since I don't know the characters.

jutr gave me solutions via steam i'll help :P Tha point of puzzle is solving grid ;) I thought characters are common :D All are from japan productions but well known in whole world I think.. they are all like dragon ball xD
in q2 character have a very fameous hairstyle :D oh and remember its a princess... not just name :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, they probably are well known throughout the world, but that's a whole genre/era I never got into. I'll message you this evening or over the weekend when I get some time to take another look. :)

Comment has been collapsed.

About colours, so much more fun when you pick them at random
Comment has been collapsed.

Comment has been collapsed.

Q2 solved.
My "result" for Q3 is worse than Q2, I think I should go back to paint x)

Comment has been collapsed.
Ultimate hint: start thinking about right colors more than guessing xD You probably saw them, i don't get why you dont use them :D
Also for Q4/Q5 hint added in thread :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm thinking of giving up. Started Q1 two times and both of them I got the same error in the low-right corner.. and since someone solved it, the error is on my end and I don't know how to solve it.
Have a bump :)

Comment has been collapsed.

Main Puzzle
Oh well.. it's not a Christmas puzzle at all... but every year in this special time I always feel like a child. In my childhood I had a lot of time to PLAY games, even if it was harder to get them than nowadays. Especialy I loved jRPG because I could name heroes and I never played them using their real names... and in that way Miss Edna, Pix and Els was born.
Those three girls will guide us in our trip to the past for searching real names.
Go to the
pastith puzzleTo provide good Christmas mood here is one of my favourites carols: Carol of bells. Feel free to post carols most liked by you in comments, I'll appreciate if it will be your national ones :) For those who are good childs obligatory GA (meh titles which don't fit to solver's train :D)

Main Part Solution
First image was nonogram. I used 0 as white, and 1 as black. 2nd and 3 image have more numbers and each of them represent color. Colors was provided by thread image. 4th and 5th is a marge from two previous methods where first number is a color, and second is a number of pixels.
Result of images is posted in hints now: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/0E0ee6ts/CeSjXECm
Bonus Part
The easiest way to solve main part was take excel from puzzle and put some numbers in grid, then use conditional formatting and it was solved. The main reason I also posted images in all questions was that I hid sth there :D All images has same size when you put all of them together and play with contrast you will get this in 8-9 row. Binary its: 01000111 01000001 00111010 01000001 01110011 01001100 01110110 01010001 -> "GA:AsLvQ"
