Hi @SirTristram 

Thank you for the two recommendations. I haven't gotten around to watching them yet but I can say I am very excited to watch the marathon one. I had never considered watching one on running but will definitely give it a try! 

Also thank you elves!

Thank you for the gifts @A-LEECE! I haven't had the chance to watch the recommendations yet, I'm looking forward to watching all of them (especially Trigun, hoping to watch it soon)!


Also, big thank you to the elves for putting another secret santa together. Can't wait to be back next year.

Thanks for the gift @DimitrovN, both of animes you gave me were animes that I always had an interest in watching. For now, I've started Yuru Camp, because it is available on Crunchyroll, and I'm really loving it. Def the kind o SOL I like :p

This was my first event as part of the community, and I had so much fun participating. Thank you to everyone who was involved, especially our hard-working elves.

@D1vina

The first episode of Akudama Drive took me by surprise - such an impressive cyberpunk atmosphere? The fight scenes have been amazing so far, and I am excited to see how this anime progresses.

Vanitas no Karte will be my next watch, and I will let you know what I think of it then.

Thank you so, so much for your recommendations, and such a kind Secret Santa message<3.

Thanks so much for the gift! The background definitely fits and I had a good time using it. Good call on the characters you chose as I really like it :)
I'm glad you like it! :)
I was a little indecisive about whether or not I liked the hands, so I decided to make an alternate version that makes the sleeves look like shoulders. Feel free to use whichever one you prefer: Signature-v2

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!

Glad you liked it! There's a couple seasons too and it'll keep getting better. Happy to hear that you're enjoying it so far :)

Wow, 7 years doing Secret Santa already and I will still never get tired of it!
Thanks again to all the elves for taking on such an overwhelming amount of Santa requests this year (an enormous amount compared to previous years!) and doing the matchmaking and a very large amount of backup gifts for all of those!

It seemed like this year was quite a difficult year, but you did a great job with dealing with the high amount of pressure! I wish I was able to dedicate more time to help with some backup gifts, but it was quite a busy holiday season for me.

Thank you FireFractal for the recommendations that you sent me! Most years, I get highly received and prestigious anime that I haven't gotten around to, so it was a nice change of pace to get recommendations that aren't as highly praised from the community, but more suited to the type of shows that I like to watch! I look forward to checking them all out!

Special thanks as well to @ferrepls who helped ease my mind while I was writing my recommendation! (And you ended up being right after all, he was happy to accept the recommendations) As well for pointing out the very stupid mistake that I made when I submitted it and helping to correct it!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the event and I'll be back next year!

@White_Wuf thanks for the recommendations. Somali and the Forest Spirit was definitely a gem. It was relaxing to watch and the music was real good too. I was hoping there'd be more seasons. Though, I see now that the series has been discontinued. That's a bummer. I haven't gotten to World Trigger yet, but I plan on it!

It was a fun event. Thanks to all the elves for your hard work!

I've been looking forward to this event all year, so participating again was a delight. I even got a friend to do it with me! The delay was nerve-wracking, but the results were worth it. I apologize to @Kineta for the frantic PM when matching the gift recipients took longer than expected. (I thought that could also be the case but was still worried I did something wrong.) 😅 And, of course, a big "thank you" to all the elves for their hard work. It sounds like you got swamped, and everything still turned out beautifully! I can't wait for next year. 😊

Thank you to my two Santas @coffeedrops and @Ebobedo! I somehow got 2 Santas and I apologize for their tough time finding me an anime with <100k members. I usually research through anime pages rather than watching it because I'm very much of a procrastinator TwT. I usually search for many anime (mainly 100k+) from friend reccs and social media and only PTW those which I like that's why I wanted one with less popularity. 

From my first gift I am really loving Master Keaton! I haven't yet finished watching it but it is really good. Thanks for recommending Keaton I REALLY LOVED IT! I haven't yet watched Sola and St. Luminous Jogakuin but synopsis of Sola is great and I hope I will watch it in future.

From my second gift, Pet! is AWESOME! Only watched the first episode till now and its amazing! Still haven't watched Kubikiri Cycle and Bishounen Tanteidan but really loved the artstyle of Bishounen Tanteidan from the trailer! 


I really loved both of the gifts and thanks for recommending me so many gems! Thanks again for your hard work and effort and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! o((>ω< ))o




Also sorry for being 2 days late to the thread :P

I skimmed through Love Live cards and saw the demon girl, which looked a good fit for you, I'm glad you already liked the original card. Making the edit was harder than I initially thought, and I didn't want to test how blurring the original image would look because I didn't want to ruin the detail on that image. I also considered adding your Halloween candy, but I didn't find a good way to integrate it (sorry >_<).

Oh, and something I did not tell you on the original message because it would give away my identity: I was surprised that you asked for an Eris set and not Roxy (which is on your character favourites instead of your extended list), especially considering that the person above you had an Eris forum set; since I was the one who made that set on Secret Santa last year hahaha.

Hello, how are you? I would like to thank @AriesAmelia , for the anime recommendation, despite having already watched Erased, Ghost Hunt was a great recommendation, the beginning is very slow, but it progresses very steadily and the cases are very fun. Also thanks @Stardew for the extra recommendation Summertime Render he's great, the story gripped from start to finish, and the plot twist was excellent. I thank everyone who organized the event it was super fun, I hope to participate in the next ones. :3

Thanks for the event! It was my first time participating and it was very fun, good job to all the elfs who worked hard to make it possible :)

Also thanks to @krikio for the rec! It really fit my taste in a particular way, I LOVE when adventure is focused on history and has a melancholy feel, because of that Shoujo shuumatsu also remind me of one of my favorite game that is Hollow Knight also about exploration of an ancient society that fell into ruins, its just my type of thing, I really enjoyed (and cried a little), thank you.

It was my first time joining a secret santa event on MAL and the only words I can think of is.. NO REGRETS!! haha

All the gifts look promising and has been added to my respective PTW/R sections, hopeful to have some free time to watch/read them =D
Many thanks to @Merulox, @PundaChan, Elf-hime @Dancho and Elf-tan!!

Lastly, a very big thank you to all the elves for hosting this event. I had a fun and enjoyable time sorting and picking out which anime/manga I will be recommending. Kudos to you elves again for taking the time to find the perfect gift for us. I will be looking forward to this year's secret santa event ;)

Hi @Felis-Catus ! Thank you very much for the recommendations! I still haven't had time to watch any of the anime you recommended, but I've done some research on them and they sure seem to be what I was looking for! About "Monster" and "Black Lagoon", I already knew both and I already had them on my watchlist, but I don't usually put the anime I want to watch on MAL, that's why they are not on my MAL list. After the description you made of these series, I'm even more excited to watch them! As for "Jormurgand" and "Gangsta.", they're new to me, and seem to match what I want to watch right now. Thank you for letting me know about these two animes, I'm looking forward to watching them. As soon as I have time I'll watch all the ones you recommended. Again, thanks a lot!

Thanks to all the elves for their hard work!

@Sigima thanks for the anime recs! I've been having a lot of trouble getting through anime lately so I'm happy to say I finished Ore, Tsushima! Thank you for giving me a short! While I didn't enjoy it quite as much as you did, it was a perfect choice for me as I was terribly sick when I watched it. I did give ReLife a try but unfortunately I don't think it's for me. There's no big reason, it's just a really personal little pet peeve of mine. I'm not up to committing to anything very long right now, especially something that takes time to improve, so I'm going to hold off on Battle Through the Heavens for awhile. I have enjoyed several Chinese shows in the past so no worries there! I'll get to it! Someday! Anyways, thanks for the recs! I had fun!

@pastelpeachii thanks for the manga recs! I'm really enjoying I want to eat your pancreas so far! I may have gotten it confused with another rather famous show which is why I haven't watched or read it before. I'm excited to see it to the end! I'll definitely be checking out your second rec at some point as well! thanks again for the recs!

Hi @syntack,
I just wanted to say thanks for the anime recommendation! Sentouin Hakenshimasu is looking really interesting so far. I've only watched a couple of episodes so far, but I'm really liking Number 6 as the main character. I was a little disappointed after watching Hataage! Kemono Michi where the mc is much more understated than the big personality of Kazuma or Number 6. I look forward to watching the rest, thanks again and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!

thank you all elves for making this happen and all your hard work! 

+ though it was extremely sad to see how some ungrateful people that doesn't even bother to use the images they received, thats not only sad but also rude and behave as if they are entitled to decide whether to use it or not even after all the effort santa put in. and this is just hilarious cause it seems theres nothing could be done but just to continue as nothing happen.

no problem! I tried hard to find a good anime that you might like because I saw that most anime that you have seen that I have seen too are mostly in my list.
I hope I have you the right recommendation.
