Thank You!! @RobertBobert




and thank you to all the Elves and to those who made this event possible
Thank you! I was afraid that I had drawn up the recommendation somehow incorrectly or that it would not work.

I got interested in anime from mid 2020 (around May or June). And the anime that i firstly watched at that time is "Another" (Horror, mystery, supernatural). After watching this anime, I'm going to feel interested to watch more animes. In the next 3 months I've watched more than a hundred anime (really addicted to anime at the time). I went through my daily routine by online class and watching anime after it, more and more day by day.

Until winter 2022 when AoT final season part 2 aired, my interest in anime greatly reduced, idk what this is caused by. I feel anxious about this and don't know why (ngl my life feels a little boring). I think it's like i have to find interest in anime one more time

MAL informed me from email about this event, and join on it, thanks to all moderators!

And big thanks to my secret santa @BlakexEkalb for the anime recommendation and thanks so much for your effort to other recipients who got the same "problem" as me. I watched 2 of 3 animes that you rec. Summertime Render and Link Click very interesting on me, the story is masterpiece, mistery supernatural and time travel. I hope your anime recommendation can raise my interest in anime again.

My best regards!

It's good to joined this event and I'm glad became a part of this community, for real(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Thanks a lot for your present! I'm watching Takt Op now and can definitely tell you have read what I've been looking for. I might score it 6-7 but don't think that it's a bad anime and I didn't like it or something. Might be a wrong timing or little things in the anime but recommendation was great and I really appreciate you taking your time and sending your recommendation. Wish you a great year! :)

Huge thanks to elves as well for all your hard work! Wish you all a great year!

I don't get why I didn't get a badge, was it because I only did anime recommendation?

Thanks a lot @Foxyclaws for the awesome recommendations. I'm sorry I've been terribly busy these days so I didn't have a lot of time so I couldn't finish any of the manga you recommended, but I started reading Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha and so far I'm loving it! I finished reading vol 4 last night and will start vol 5 today, this kind of lighthearted romance is right up my alley and the magical theme just adds all the more fun to it. I'll definitely read all three Manga you recommended when I get the time, I started with this one cuz it was the shortest one and I wanted to have some feedback for you when the Santas would've been revealed.

Oh and I think it's a little late for this but Happy New Year! Hope you have a great 2023! Thanks again for the recs!

@tl_dr @alinaokumura
Thank you so much for recommending me several recommendations. I have sadly not finished them but I am really happy of all the time and effort you both spent finding my recommendations while also writing very long explanations of why I would enjoy each one!!

I have started Amnesia first seeing as it was the shortest but was not able to finish in time for the reveal due to work and the new seasonals but I am really looking forward to watching my all my recs because of how you explained everything, thank you tl_dr!!

Thank you alinaokumura, I have completed strange dragon and slowly reading Houkago Hokenshitsu which seems interesting so far! Strange dragon was a nice read and I hope we get to read the last two chapters someday :( Thank you, it revive my love for shoujo which I have sadly not been able to read lately. It is also nice to hear from a stardew valley fan!!

@-koolkid

Thank you -koolaid for such a lovely forum set!!! I was so happy to see my gift so thank you very much!! I also already had several people share the joy of my forum set already complimenting the forum set already on my profile!!

Thank you all three of you and I hope you all have a amazing 2023!!

Thank you to all my elf friends and moderators who made my holidays another amazing year:D

Thank you to the elves for putting on a very fun event! I will definitely be joining again next year.

To my Santa @TrildTheHai, thank you for the recommendation :D I'd actually heard of it before and seen a few episodes of it, but completely forgotten about it (hence why I had never put it on my list, haha). It was nice to give it a second look, I'm enjoying it so far. You made a very good choice!

@exorin
Sup mate, hope you are having a nice enjoyable day, huge thanks for the gifts that you sent out, i actually watched both of the recommended shows, and while i didn't think that any of them would be anything "exceptional", the actual experience during the watching was completely different.

I found the first one to be super sweet and fairly refreshing with how the main lead felt, and despite all of the "little" mishaps it had during its run, it was surprisingly fun in overall, and as you've mentioned i payed a little more attention to the Ost's which tbh sounded much better than it probably should've haha,

The second show however was a complete phenomenon to me, while i think that the first one was surprisingly fun and had a good time with it in general, Acca:13 was a series i genuinely didn't expect to be this good, i loved how all the little details that seemed absolutely irrelevant at the beginning were then connecting into the main story giving more substance and sense to all of the events/characters, what i also loved is how freaking Chill and Vibey it felt during those moments where our protagonist just goes from one place to another.

Once again thanks, and i wish you all the best, even despite not knowing me you really nailed the recommendations :)

Thank you very much, @KatOtaku for the recommendation!
I have yet to finish it of course, since it is rather long, but I love it so far. It kinda has that nostalgic feeling for me because I watched similar animes when I was new to anime, but I like it as much or even more than those. The characters are so cute and loveable (well, some of them xd), I wonder if there will be any romance. It looks like you put a lot of effort into this gift (you even checked my ptw) so I'm very grateful.
This was my first time participating in this event and I had a lot of fun. Big thanks to the elves!

Thank you Santa & the Elves for the work on this chaotic event. I imagine every year will lead to more and more applicants so the event will probably require some changes at some point to keep the volunteers relatively sane ^^

And thank you to @Tenjochanx3 for my anime recommendation. I can definitely see the similarities with the other show and while the series ended up in a weird spot, it did make me consider reading the manga for once to see how the story actually ends :)

Thanks for hosting this event, and a big thanks to the elves who have put a lot of work into this event. You did a great job. We appreciate that!

I don't know if secret santa is an event that is being held every year but this was my first time joining it and I would love to join again for the next year. It was so much fun to prepare a gift for my recipient and wait for my own gift from the Santa.

And my dear Santa, @starii_ , thank you for all the efforts and time that you have put into my gift. I have heard of Fate universe before but I was completely confused about where to start. Now thanks to you, this interesting universe does not seem intimidating anymore! Unfortunately, I could not have taken a look yet as I am quite busy with my studies but I will watch it as soon as I am available! Thank you once again. I really appreaciate it.

May you have a wonderful year everyone. Let's meet again next year! Take care.

Hi @Naturdays ! Thanks a lot for finally giving me the much needed boost to get into the Natsume Yuujinchou Series. I've been enjoying the first 6eps from the first season, and I do hope that the series will keep up the same relaxing vibes that I've experienced so far.

Thank you so much everyone for another great event! Thanks to all my fellow elves for making it more fun during the stressful days - I would have lost my mind without a lot of you lol Thanks to all the team leaders and head elves for taking care of us <3 And of course, thanks to all participants~

I hope to see you all again next year!

Now to get to my own Santas:

@Purple_Owl Thanks a lot for your recommendations! I only watched Re-Main so far since it surely was what I was looking for; and it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot <3 I came for the boys and stayed for... well, the boys lmao But the story was also more interesting than I would have thought! Great Pretender definitely doesn't look like it's something you watch because of attractive characters, but it does seem to have a very interesting premise, so I'm really looking forward to it. Also looking forward to Horimiya. (Aaaand of course @ferrepls thank you so much for the little extra, childcare + hot boys? That's just the best combination, haha. I started watching it and will finish it soon, you get better feedback after that. My guess about you being the elf who wrote my side rec was right ohohoho (✿◕‿◕✿))


@-Absynthe- Thank you so much for your great recs! I've read Tokidoki and Once Again so far and they were amazing, especially Once Again hit me hard ;-; I said I wanted to cry and you did deliver for sure, so thank you for hitting the nail on the head! About "I want to eat your pancreas": I'll definitely read it, but funnily enough, I got the movie BD as a christmas gift from a friend - what are the odds? lmao! So I think I'll watch the anime first and then read the manga. But still, very happy (is that the right word for your gift, tho?) about your recs, so thanks a lot (●'◡'●)

@host_ thanks for the recommendation, I could tell you put some effort into it, I went with Usagi Drop and let me say it is exactly what I was looking for I only watched the first 5 episode (currently in college exam period) but it is sooo wholesome and childish but also hits right in the feels (ᅲ﹏ᅲ ), I'm enjoying it very much so far and it went directly to my favourites, so i hope yours was good as well and have a good day/year.

p.s I've been into anime for about 4 year (still new to MAL tho) and while I like to take my time with shows it's still crazy that your completed list is bigger than mine in less than a year XD

Thanks for the event, I hope my gift recipients liked or will like my gifts!

And a thank you to @RyanJun and @shubh_kun for the gifts! I enjoyed Gyo and it was a quick read, but it got a little too disturbing for my tastes (as expected of Junji Itou). Also Blood on the Tracks has been on my radar for a while now, but I'll probably read it when it finishes and I'll read Aku no Hana somewhere in the next few months.

As for my anime gift Haganai, I have only watched 2 episodes so far (sorry I'm a slow watcher), but I already know I will like it a lot!

Hi, this was my first Mal Secret Santa event and although it was hard to find a good Anime for my receiver, it was a really fun event (and I also like tough challenges) : D

And I want to thank everyone who made another amazing event be possible ;3




Hi @peaskeeper, I want to thank you for the Anime you recommended me in this MAL Secret Santa, World Trigger.

Although I have seen only 3 episodes so far, the Anime is very interesting and I will definitely continue to watch it :3
Thanks a lot for the great recommendation and Happy Secret Santa :P

I have also started your second recommendation Mairimashita! Iruma-kun which even though I haven't read much of yet I am quite enjoying.
