Really disappointed in my Santa's and elves this year, really lackluster gifts.
I've been here way too long...

Thanks ByKawai and Dancho for the art, even tho i'm not using one of your work ( don't know who ) i really appreciate it and it was really cool you both made more than one. Thank you so much.

Astros thanks for the anime, i'm really hyped for Decode bad luck i didn't have the time yet! Zatchbell i've played their PS2 games so i think i know what i can expect it's probably going to be a good show too (150 epis i cry )

And last thanks Soren for the manga, looks like something i will like (best genre). Just waiting for it to finish airing so i can start reading.

Thanks all [:

I look forward to seeing your review, hopefully it'll be interesting for you. I never got the chance to play the PS2 games for it sadly, but once you start it the episodes won't be so bad ^-^.

Wow, that was sure fun. I hope I can participate next year as well ^^
Got to thank gedata for the rec. I'm really grateful it's actually a short series (turns out I have less time than I thought I would, and I also have to do the review ahh :<). So far it's really interesting ^^
Also, big thanks to mara_ for the profile pictures. I didn't hoped for anything, so I was surprised to see two profile pictures, and I really liked them ^^ Gonna use the one with Akizuki since it's such a good picture :>

Well, as always this was an awesome event! I participated last year and I was super happy with what I was recommended so I had to participate this year as well!

I'm thankful to SnugglyWhuggly and -Saichi- for taking the time to find something that I could like! Just as last year, I was recommended stuff I wouldn't have chosen on my own, but that actually, after checking them out a bit (so far I've seen 2 episodes of Kaiba and read around 5 chapters of Spiral) they seem to be pretty interesting and entertaining!

And thank you, tsuyokunaru for your recommendations! I've actually already read Medaka Box. :3 SO I read the other ones you suggested and I especially enjoyed Eyeshield 21! Even though the MC was a bit of a wimp at the beginning he quickly changed! (I didn't really mind that he was wimp-ish since the humor made up for it. ^^) I haven't have had time to finish it yet (at ch.103) though since I was away on holidays but I'll be sure to finish it soon! :D

I had no idea since I couldn't find it in your list...! Well, either way, I'm glad I went with more than one recommendation so you could find something you enjoy. I really enjoy these type of events but it also makes me happy to know that my gift was a good one.

To the staff, I guess the only thing I'd like to suggest is to have this event more often! Like having a summer version if possible haha.

Big thanks to the Elves and the Mods making the event possible.
Special thanks to Elf-tan.

Can't really say I have feedback to improve next years Secret Santa event,
expect for fixing/preparing with more people for the PM delays/mistakes but I guess those are bound to happen with that mass of participants.

Also, I kinda never received my images since the upload site already cleared the submission, which kinda sucks for me now. Is there any way to still receive/restore the images?
Please make sure to point out the receiving is a time limited feature, I didn't account for that...

Anyways, I'll just have to dig it for now and have a great time everyone.^^


[Edit to a slightly later time:]
Haha you should never underestimate MAL community.^^
I already got a re-upload from the user and though it's not all what I called for it's still neatly adapted to my liking so I can finally say THIS EVENT IS AWESOME.
Special thanks to Yuki_91.^^

Hello, sorry for the delayed reply. A new semester is about to start soon. D=

This is my first time participating, but I had some fun.
So thank you organizers and elves for your hard work. =D
I think it was a decently organized event. What was promised was delivered for the most part.

It was somewhat frustrating, but ultimately I had a nice time.

dreamerofpluto:

Sorry for the trouble. I guess I should have opted to be more specific. I did have some other (still kinda general) things in my likes, but I took them out since I thought my post was getting too long and I am not too picky on genre and stuff anyways. I also didn't want to come off as super demanding or anything. Guess that kind of backfired.
However, I think you did a good job. I haven't watched much of your recommendation yet, but I can say that it definitely is something that I never heard of before and it is one of the kinds of anime I am not as familiar with (older shoujo). It's different, that's for sure. I am going to take my time and continue giving it a shot. =)

And I should probably rate more of my anime. That's one thing I learned from this event. I'm not the biggest fan of numerical ratings, and though I decided i probably should rate my anime some time back, it's been a while since I've seen some of them soooo... yeah. Again, sorry about that. =/
I'm happy you were able to find something new for me though. XD

Hope to see you around again sometime. =D

Astros said:

Noifa, your recommendation actually surprised me. Not because I hadn't known about Planetes already, as it's on my anime PTW, but because of how thorough you were in recommending it. I know that you were already interested in it, but you read parts of it to gauge how interesting it was and delved into the reasons why I may or may not like the genre I requested. You also looked to my ratings to do that as well.(Which were pretty accurate I must admit.)

As soon as I received your recommendation I was regretting my own haha. Mainly due to realizing how much more I could do not because I feel they were horrible. Though, I plan to read Planetes soon due to your rec, the setting, and the tomboy the anime synopsis didn't mention.(I kinda have a thing for them.) Thanks for your time and effort, whenever I start to conquer the mountain that is my PTR I'll be sure to start with Planetes =). Oh, and I don't really mind long messages just PMs in general =P.



Hello Astros, I'm happy you were happy with my long manga recommendation for the Secret Santa thingy. Maybe it was because I just finished a paper a day or two before sending out my recommendation that it turned into something that detailed. =P
I wanted to make sure I sent a recommendation that made sense and would (most likely) not regret recommending. I might have overdid it though, most people probably don't do that much, but it's not often that I get to recommend something to someone and actually have some information to base that recommendation off of, so it was fun.
Good luck with your giant PTR pile. I have a beast of a PTW anime list as well and it seems to be growing rather than shrinking. D=

This is my first time trying to reply to someone's post on a thread so I hope this turns out right. =/

The latter!

Thanks for continually bumping this thread, @kuchitsu @Mkim . I put a bit of a tongue in cheek explanation in the announcement, but a lack of participants + lemon explosions resulted in much delay. I wondered if it was worth posting it at all, but seeing that you were still looking forward to it helped a lot. Thank you!
