Simply put, I'd like a good watch! Not much interested in some of the longer watches (like One Piece for instance) but something that tells a great story, with great characters, in a compelling way. Be it romance, or suspense, I'm always interested in a great story. Do you have a favorite that does a good job world building? Maybe it has a great soundtrack?Send it over!

@COMPLETE_myths Hello! It's a bit different than the Bunkasai event.

The Santa's workshop will match you with someone to give a gift (a recommendation) to. They're going to send the name of that person in private message and all the instructions you need to make your gift around December 10th. But basically, you'll have to pick 1 to 3 anime to recommend them and write a small text to accompany your recommendation/s. It's a secret santa event so you don't send the gift directly to the person. You'll have instructions on where to send it so you don't have to worry about it at all for now.

Pretty much all you need is on the first page of this thread and on the sign-ups threads. Make sure to read them and if anything is unclear, feel free to ask!


thanks

@Ziift Hello! No physical gift at all, no need to spend money or anything. You have three options:

1. Anime Recommendation: You recommend 1-3 anime with a nice message.
2. Manga Recommendation: You recommend 1-3 manga or webcomic with a nice message.
3. Images: You edit a picture (like an avatar for example) with a nice message. You don't need to be a pro and there are more options in the thread.

Wait, you don't know padoru? Let me introduce you to the xmas meme that will haunt you:


I don't think it's ever shown in the anime, but it's Saber in the Fate/Extra game.

@Mikaeru_Senpai Just to make sure, you don't need crazy edited pictures to sign-up for the image one. If you'd prefer to take it easy, you only need to be able to crop and resize pictures to sign-up so if you have any avatar or profile picture like that then it's fine. But that's up to you!

You just need to say you want to help here. I'm not sure if the Santa's Workshop needs more help, but if they do they'll contact you.

also yep, no problem being an elf and participating too :)

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be an elf! We have reached our maximum capacity for newcomer elves (too many new hands means Santa's Workshop doesn't run smoothly!) so we unfortunately cannot take any more this year. However, we will definitely be looking again next year, so we hope you'll be interested again~

@Fleeting_Dream @Auron @KICHO4 - We noticed that you only offered to volunteer and haven't signed up for the gift exchange yet. Please sign-up for the event if you are still interested in participating!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm a bit confused by the franchise stipulation, like especially on the manga side. What exactly is considered a "franchise"? I don't think I've completed any manga that's part of a big franchise other than some go nagai stuff oh and jojo...

@Kristiwazhere Oh don't worry, you've read way more than enough! You don't need to have read any big franchises.

It's used in a way to include everything in a series. Let's say a manga like Ran to Haiiro no Sekai counts as one franchise. Naruto would also count as one, but everything related to it and the sequel would count in the same franchise as Naruto.

It's just to make sure everyone has enough to recommend because someone could've watched maybe 15 anime, but it could also be all Dragon Ball related. There wouldn't be much that santa could recommend their recipient.

There is no reply for the confirmation. They are just certifying that you will participate, follow the rules, and live up to expectations in the sense of being a good santa and a good recipient. They now need time to organize all participants and do the matchmaking. The next message from the elves will come on December 10th. They will send the name of the person whom you are supposed to think of ideal gifts.
