| A big thanks to the elves for their hard work! Looking forward to the next Secret Santa event in the future :D Hey, @nozomemee! First of all, thank you so much for the beautiful forum set <3 Truth be told, I had quite the tough time choosing between the 2 that you made (ノ_<。) haha. Love how you made the Killua set in GIF format btw! That's creative and lowkey makes the usual static forum set seem a bit livelier ;D I really appreciate the time that you took to make them and also for the incredibly sweet message that you wrote. At last but not least, hope this 2023 treats you well and that you get to make more precious moments with your loved ones (>ᴗ•) P.S. I may or may not have taken a peek at the gifts before reading the message, oops ⚆_⚆ |
Kineta said: @Kineta and @Lopika maybe because my request was so exact, but THERE IS 100% liking in the Toushirou + Park Romi roster that I didn't know about !!!Please remember that it's near impossible to get a gift 100% to your liking from a person who knows nothing about you Lopika you knew that anime I wanted only after just starting Bleach...... LMAO Your rec anime was TOP 5, I have so much to thank you. When you finish Bleach (fillers included XD), trust me IT WILL come full circle how right the rec you made was this day :) I love your choice so much it is the best and would also be the first recommendation to ANY Bleach fan !!! |

| @NoblesseEssentia thankyou so much for the suisei forum set!! |
 |
| Thanks a lot for hosting this Secret Santa Editon ! Must say, it was really fun making a gift for someone. Hope everyone had a great christmas n.n |
 |
| I had such a fun time participating in my first ever MAL Secret Santa. I already can't wait for next year! o(≧▽≦)o Thank you so much to all the elves for organizing and managing this event! You are all amazing! Also a big shoutout to my Secret Santa @Bao_Michael! I really appreciate all of your recommendations especially with my long PTW list. ☆ｏ(＞＜；)○ They all look like a lot of fun! I'm excited to go through and watch all of them when I get the chance. (P.S. I loved the cute kaomojis you used!) |
  |
| Thank you elves this event was fun !! |
 |
| Now this was quite a Challenge. Maybe, a little more time to prepare & make the gifts next year could help. Other than that, it was fun. Once again, a big THX to the Elves who probably went through All-Nighters to get it done (The Elves' Christmas Song from Futurama comes to mind*) and special THX @Jokobo. I promise I'll try to get my hands on the recommended series ASAP (One is currently 'regionblocked' - or better, the Player is unsupported - , and the other is only for Premium Members). Nevertheless, I'd like to show my Gratitude for you giving your best effort to come up with your gift… * @DatBoi_Theo NOBODY has gotten their hypothetical Badges yet. As usual, they'll take some time AFTER the Closure of the Event as well. And no, it was clearly stated in the OP that you only need to subscribe to one of them to get it (Unless, possibly, if you were a Naughty Santa). ;-) minmi_pen said: How can I find out who send my gift? I want to thank them. @minmi_pen Just check the first page of this Thread. |

| Participated in the image edition this year just because I was lured by the penguin badge fml Really had fun making the layout for @usagimodoki- regardless, even though I felt like the gift making period is pretty limited to me due to my sudden irl priorities. On a side note, I am just wondering whether it is okay for some recipients who participated in the image edition to not showcase what their santas made them?Cause I feel that it is kinda disrespectful and ungrateful towards people who have spent their time making gifts for them. Kudos to all the elves for the hard work on making this event a success~ |

| A big thank you to everyone who organized and helped during this event! All the hardworking elves deserve a special badge! ❤️ And another big thank you to @WeebExile for the awesome recommendation! Odd Taxi is amazing! I'm currently on episode 7 and I loved every minute of it! The attention to detail is incredible and the storytelling is masterfully done! Everything just flows perfectly! I don't want to rush so I'm taking it slow because I don't want to miss any important details. I also like to come up with my own theories about Odokawa (especially about his medical condition)! What can I say? I'm excited to discover how this series will end. Thank you, again! ❤️ |
| what a great event, thanks for all the staff and the elves for held this event. and for my secret santa @Alphyx thanks for the gift, i really enjoy watching Shiki, even it is not my main genre. for the other title, i actually have watched some before and still wont to continue to watch it for some reason (not because those anime is bad, just som personal reason) |

| @Slayer9568 thank you for the recommendation. Of the animes, "Honzuki no Gekokujou" was the most interesting for me. It's a good anime and I even managed to watch the first season already. The small anecdotes in the episodes were very funny and the story was always nice told. But Myne’s obsession with books in the first episodes was a bit hard to bear and almost annoying for me, which doesn't make her to my favorite character of the show (as the protagonist). I was more surprised by the kindness of Frida who did not turn out to be a “Ojou-sama” and for me she brought an added value for the show. I think of the recommendations, this one will be (for the moment) remain the only one I'm going to watch, but for that I have three seasons here that I'm going to watch. Thank you very much and happy new year. :) |
 |
| Thank you for your anime rec. @ShadowNeo2 I haven't started watching Angel Beats and Hunter x Hunter yet but I think I will soon. Thanks again and hope you had a good holiday! |
| Main candy: Bonus candy: x1  |
| Thank you @electryman, your note was very sweet to read. I also really liked my gift. First season was flawless, second season was not as good as first but I am glad to know that it was anime original. I am going to read the manga now :). I was really happy to know that both of us liked Talentless Nana so much and now I noticed that we also really liked watching KMK. You were a good match for me and a good Santa. |
 |
| Loved the event, 2nd year taking part and plan to continue doing so. It is always fun getting secret santa gifts like this, but I wonder how much more difficult it will become as the years go on and I read and watch more and more things for those who have to make a gift for me. Anyways thanks for all the time and effort that goes into this event. |
| The road to hell is paved with good intentions. |
| Thank you to the committee for making such an exciting event this year! |

| Tysm @shirayukiiRei for your suggestion. This was my first time participating and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the elves and santas too for making this event enjoyable. |
|
| cool event, my recommendations were much appreciated @gaussian_ thanks for the recommendations, boogiepop was enjoyable and I'll be checking out the other adaptation some time in the future and the same goes for 3-gatsu no lion, admittedly I wasn't the biggest fan of Acca tho but that's just one egg lost over many |
| Secret Santa impressed me this year. The long wait has been worthwhile. It was amazing to get an anime like one of my favoritest: I was sure that I watched all similar ones. So, it was about the second anime in the collection. The first anime recommended to me also matched my taste. I understand that I set a difficult task with my request, but Santa handled it beautifully and I received a great gift. @Moonsparkle , thank you a lot! And there is still a third anime that I just have to evaluate) Oh! And I'm so thankful to the all the elves and the team of MAL!) |
| Thank you for making this event so amazing! The elves worked so hard a BIG THANK YOU to all the elves you all are much appreciated ^_^ I enjoyed participating in this event i got really good recommendations. |

| @FeezyWheezy Thanks for the recommendations! I have yet to check Id:invaded but I loved Kanata no Astra, the space atmosphere and the survival themes were just what I wanted to watch that moment. And have a happy new year! And a big thank you elves for this event, it was nice and interesting :) |

| @EnjoyerOfAnime Thank you for the recommendations! Love the opening of the anime & Dark Schneider. I plan on watching the rest and Tomodachi game when I finish my plan to watch for last season.

| Thank you so much @_Alive_ , @rogueandtasty and the rest of the team. Stray Dogs was a pretty good experience. And while I'm not sure I'll catch up with Season 4 in time, I had a pretty good time! |

| I loved the idea of leaving my anime viewing to the whims of someone else. Great pairing this year, I could tell my santa put effort into the letter they wrote me. As a participant, the event was a blast with the only downside being the test of patience before being allowed to open my gift XD Big thank you to everyone who contributed and made this big community event a success.  |
