| Love this event. I always had trouble finding out new animes to watch so this was a blast |

| @Steamboy361 thanks for the recommendation! I've watched the first few episodes and it does have the interests of mine you mentioned, though probably not going to finish because I'm just not finding the humor/characters that great. Nothing wrong with it, just not my style. Also big thanks to the elves for seeing this through despite the issues that arose! |
| I come for the cool looking stuff, I stay for the characters. |
I have to give A BIG THANK YOU to the Elves! The event was fun and the effort is evident. Both my elves - Elf-Pyon (@Conde_Mohr) and Elf-Cchi (@Foxyclaws) - gave me personal recommendations, for which I am grateful! A thank you to @Ratawal as well for being my secret santa this year :) Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get to the anime recs just now (Sorry, Conde_Mohr). Though, I have been reading "Tomo-Chan is a Girl!" and I am loving it! Thanks a bunch for the rec @FoxyClaws! |

| Thanks for the recommendation Red! I've had this show in the back of my mind for what seems like forever but never got around to watching it. You gave me a reason to finally start it and I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far, with episodes 2 & 6 really standing out as favorites! It definitely gives me Mushishi vibes and I couldn't be happier about that! Also, thanks to all the elves for all your hard work. This is my first year doing this and it was a lot of fun. Can't wait until next year! |

| Thank you so much my secret santa @iDensity for recommending me "School-Live!" and all the elves for organizing this amazing event. I have only watched two episodes yet but it's fantastic so far, I will definitely finish it right after my final exams. <3 |

| Thanks elves for making this event possible again this year. And thanks @kekekeKaj for the recommendation! You were absolutely right about it being similar to Lain and Paranoia Agent, which is great because I didn't think there would be another anime out there that was so alike. I haven't finished it yet, but I can safely say it was a perfect recommendation! |

| Congrats to the Elves for their hard work in giving gifts to everyone that was missing one! Especial thanks to @Elf-rin for guiding me in all the process. Also congrats to all the Santas who worked on their gifts! I already got in touch with my two Santas, thank you!. Is my first time participating in this platform, my last experiences with exchanges were really negative, so this time was not bad for once?. I wish I could participate in the recommendation exchange but I don't have read/watched that much so is really hard ^^U I hope I can participate a next time if possible. |
 Happy New Year! |
| one of my favourite MAL events :) thank you @ShinBoshy for the awesome gift, i loved loved loved it! It was totally perfect in every way <3 happy holidays everyone ! |
| Ahh yes fellow enstars player!! Haha I saw Chiaki in your favs and it made me pretty happy to write the recommendation (my fav enstars character is Kanata~) Wow I'm glad you liked Saika even though you may not have known the background. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter too much since it pretty much ends how all the mythology stories also end ^^ I know what you mean about the ending for Watashi no Tadashii Onii-chan;; But what I liked the most was everything leading up to it, which seems like was the same for you! AAAA yes Barbarities was so good. Definitely my favorite out of the 3 I recommended you! The fake beard is great XD It's nice to have a Boys Love story that actually goes on for more than one volume so the mangaka can really flesh out a plot. Thanks for letting me know what you thought of all of them!! :D |

| It's my first time participating and I really enjoyed it, thank you plisetskytrash for the wonderful gift. Also, a big thank you to the elves for all their hard work in making this happen. |
 |
| Big thanks for the elves who organized this but most of all thanks for the recommendation @Pitbull01 !!! It'll be on top of my watch list for the next thing I watch :) |
| Thanks for hosting this event, and hope for the same success next year!! |
Syesta said: Happy New Year to everyone, and a massive thank you to all the elves at Santa’s workshop! It was my first time participating and I had a great time. I’m already looking forward to the next one! Big thanks to my Santa, @CareBear, for gifting me such well-thought-out recommendations! I’ve enjoyed everything I've watched so far, especially Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, as it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. (And to my elves, thank you for your thoughtful heads-up on a certain detail^^). Hopefully @dreamerofpluto enjoyed some of my recommendations, too! Hey! I'm glad you liked Tokyo Magnitude. It's actually thanks to one of the elves that I recommended that because I originally had something else, but I missed that you asked for no anime post 2019 haha. Good thing they caught my mistake. I hope you enjoy the other two, especially Wolfs Rain, Happy New Years! I also wanted to thank my Santa @saruxxh for the gift, I really enjoyed it. And finally a big thank you to Kineta and all the elves this year for organizing this event. Secret Santa is my favorite MAL event and I'm already looking forward to the next one. |
   |
| thank you, it was a great event ^^ |
 |
| Thanks to the elves and volunteers for your hard work! It was an awesome event! And thank you @Sokratis for your thoughtful recs. I started with Aggretsuko, and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. It's funny and very relatable, and the idea of a cute MC as Retsuko banging his head with death metal gets me every time. I will definitely watch Daily Lives of High School Boys and Zettai Shounen soon too. Happy New Year! |
 |
| Thankyou for hosting this event, MAL, and thankyou to elves for working so hard to make this large event happen.. and wishing you all a happy new year! :) @_meimei - :D ..thankyou, my secret Santa! Loved your gift, and thankyou for the thoughtful recommendations! :) ..I've started both the anime, but am rather very slow at watching them, so far, due to tight schedule.. I enjoyed both, so far though :) I've seen two episodes from re:Zero, and love how I am already acquainted with the world, and characters. It seems like it will be a thoroughly entertaining anime.. I am enjoying the animation/art in both the anime :) Thankyou for the sweet gift.. I hope you had a good time during the holidays, and wishing you a belated happy birthday and a happy new year!! :) |
| Thank you for the event, it was great. I loved playing Secret Santa and hope to participate again, next year! Thank you to my Secret Santa @mimimilk I was recommended two shows, Gate and DRIFTERS. I finished Gate and I liked it, it was nice. DRIFTERS was really bad, I only watched 3 episodes and couldn't bring myself to continue. You also compared it to Hellsing which I didn't watch, and it is not on my list, not even on plan to watch so that was really weird. |

| @MATEUS_SSJ4 Obrigado por ser meu amigo secreto. Gostei muito do set, principalmente do bbcode. Há muito tempo queria ter uma assinatura assim, mas não sabia como, por isso agradeço muito. A única coisa ruim é que tive que colocar meu avatar korosensei novamente porque várias pessoas no fórum não me reconhecem sem ele(╥﹏╥) Enfim, gostei muito do set e espero que vocês também tenham gostado dos presentes |
   |
Thanks for everything Many thanks to the elves for bringing us this event every year and to all the santas for participating in it. A list with the best gifts according to the elves or the most recommended would be great. but if it's a lot of work forget it, you do enough to organize this event. |

| Another year has passed. It's kind of crazy how I was an elf for 7 years in a row, but man, this event is actually fun to be part of. Thank you to all fellow elves, who made this happen. Each one of you is a hero. Rinners! I adore every single one of you (Fire especially, but I am biased, yes) It's always fun to hang out with you, dear elves, or just tap away at my keyboard, knowing you all do same and have alike experiences. WHAT ARE DEADLINES ANYWAY, RIGHT *copium* Much love to all of you! Hope you have a good year ahead and see you again in December! -asphyxia- said: @Nate .. kjfdghfk, omffg.. thank so so so much for the forum set! it is really beautiful. I saw redish then I saw it was wei and died inside ;u; I remember I was having a loong and stressful day and man, U made my day .. seeing that and the msg.. ah man.. tyvm for real. I am really happy with it.. Ayy! You're very welcome! I'm so happy you like your gift! As soon as I saw your post and your favorites, I knew what to make for you. Plus, I actually enjoyed making your gift, since I love this series and character too, so it really was a win-win. Hope you had a great time this holiday season! |

| Hi, @Kaseen_Kachow, I recently started watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, of course I had heard about that anime but never gave it a chance, which I regret now, I'm really liking it, it seems to have a lot of potential and after finishing it I'll finally understand the memes made about the series. I can't lose with this one. As feedback for the event, it was entertaining, overall I'm glad to have received such a fitting recommendation and that my Secret Santa recipient enjoyed so much the recommendation I gave him/her :D |
| Secret Santa is by far the best event I’ve been in! Thanks to my Santa, @luckyowl10, for suggesting 3 recommendations! Not only did you give simple and short explanations of why I would enjoy the anime, you even color-coded and linked them. I watched A Place Further Than The Universe and enjoyed it! It gave me the same feeling as when I skipped class to travel to LCS, and that feeling was my sense of adventure. The opening is memorable and catchy. I did not finish the others, but I'll give them a shot later. After receiving your gift, I immediately felt bad about the gift I gave. The gift I gave was quite wordy and wasn't as organized as yours. Lastly, thanks to elves working overtime. Without them, this wouldn't have been possible! |
