Requests for Santa:
- No overly complicated or profound anime.
- No Tsundere MC and no MC dying at the end.
- No Full CGI.
Gift ideas for Santa (not requests): I’m a sucker for comedies with male characters (not necessarily dirty jokes tho) but also love me some angsty and unfortunate MCs (my fav anime in my profile are divided into stupid comedies and angsty bois lol). I’m a huge seiyuu enjoyer so if it has some well-known ones, or from my fav people list, I will probably enjoy any anime regardless of the quality of the story lol.

Gift ideas for Santa (not requests):
Anime before 2010, Visual novel adaptations, Something chill/atmospheric that isn’t completely boring, Something silly (e.g. adventure/isekai, harem, stuff you watch for fun & not because it’s good), Anime no one’s heard of (unsubbed ok), Song recs (I'll watch anything if I like the oped, favs are linked on profile)

❅ Link to anime list: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Natsuaki?status=2&tag=

❅ Requests for Santa: Please avoid the following “things” regardless of genre:

- Loli/Shouta
- 4-koma adaptations
- shows with a generally depressing tone, negative outlook and/or constantly miserable characters

❅ Gift ideas for Santa:

- trans/gender-ambiguous characters or characters who (magically) change sex
- Any show that came out in 2013 or earlier (aaalll the way down to the 70s! I wanna watch more old stuff!)
- For Romance: I would like to see a relationship that grows and changes, regardless of whether the characters end up together.
- Anime with a complete story that didn’t just adapt like the first 50 chapters of a 200 chapter manga. It’s okay if the “complete story” Is spread over 3 seasons, 2 movies and one TV special :)

(*) Shows tagged comedy where the comedy isn't the main focus are okay. (like Mob Psycho 100, Baccano! or FLCL)

Bonus: My plan-to-watch is really long, I am aware of that. So while I would like to get a "new show" for Secret Santa, feel free to pick something from my PTW as well if you want to pick more than one show!

There is nothing terribly wrong with feeling lost, so long as that feeling precedes some plan on your part to actually do something about it. Too often a person grows complacent with their disillusionment, wearing their discomfort like a favorite shirt - Johnny C.

Requests for Santa: Ideally ≤75 Episodes. The series or movie must be a completed work with a true ending (All sequels have been released or broadcasted). Movie sagas and/or trilogies are accepted. Hints of romance and nudity are fine as long as it's not the main focus of the story.
Gift ideas for Santa: It would be nice if the show contained a lot of suspense and action-packed sequences with nice camera movements/angles. I also approve of anti-heroic/anti-villainous characters with complex motivations or goals in mind. Lastly, an ambiguous or open-ended resolution to the story is acceptable.

Requests for Santa: I don't want to watch pure comedies. Comedy itself is fine, but only within a greater story.

In addition to my likes, I would love if the recommendation has some of these tags :) female action protagonist, coming of age, tragedy, anti hero, dystopian, war
Gift ideas for Santa: i want something that not everybody knows about, not too obscure, but nothing too popular. i wanna find new stuff that matches my likes that i havent heard of yet

The romance can be the main point of the story, or just a subtext, but the main point should be interesting. Can be shoujo as long as it's not too girly.

❄️Requests for Santa:
-No overly complicated anime / anime with a lot of plot
-Im ok with romance, but only if it's an easygoing / relaxed romance, not one where the only genre is romance. eg: Wotakoi, Nozaki-kun, Engaged to the unidentified...
❄️Gift Ideas for Santa:
- I'm a huge fan of relaxing annime and CGDCT. I'll generally watch any slice of life / comedy / CGDCT, but i do prefer the ones where theres not much plot.
- This is a personal preference, but i would really appreciate it if the anime is original, and not an adaptation.

Mod Edit: Moved personal preference to gift ideas.

Requests for Santa: I have no problem with the romantic comedy genre but I would like it not to be the first option because last year they already recommended that genre to me and I would like this year to be different. Although as I said, I have no problem, if you recommend a romantic comedy I would like it too.
Gift ideas for Santa: I really don't care, I like discovering new stories.

I am an Isekai drunkie and I love Yanderes for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I am a comedy or horror buff and I would appreciate an anime that isn’t overtly mainstream (DBZ, Bleach, Jujustsu kaisen, etc) because I know I will watch them later and eventually. Thank you!!!!

Requests for Santa:

Don't recommend me related anime (i.e. prequels, sequels, movies, specials, etc.) of an anime I’ve already watched.
Must not have wacky 3D-CGI animation.
Avoid reccing shows that deal with heavy subjects in an edgy manner just for shock value and no real artistic value whatsoever.
Must not be a power fantasy.
I’m extremely picky when it comes to rom-coms, so I’d advise against recommending one (I'm okay with romance OR comedy, just not the usual mix of both).


Gift ideas for Santa: [Dear Santa, the preferences/themes mentioned below are just a baseline to give you a sense of what I seem to gravitate towards the most. Feel free to disregard some of them if you think I'd enjoy something a bit different from what I'm used to. Variety in your reccs will be very much welcomed!]

Loveable cast of characters with great chemistry between each other.
Female mc's POV if possible.
I enjoy music-themed series, particularly those set in (or inspired by) the classical or jazz scene. However, I'm open to series featuring any other type of musical background (or even other types of artistic backgrounds).
I have a soft spot for series with a focus on friendship, any sort of moving depictions of (platonic) relationships, and/or nuanced family drama.
I tend to favor shows with unconventional narrative structures (e.g. Baccano!, The Tatami Galaxy…)
Anime that subvert tropes and conventions.
Any country of origin is okay!
Series with a great OST. (I’m a big fan of Yoko Kanno’s and Hisaishi Joe’s works).
Distinctive or atypical artstyle would be nice.
Cats.
Anything youkai-related.

Requests for Santa: Nothing too flashy or generic, but nothing too convoluted or cerebral either.
Gift ideas for Santa: I'm looking for something character-driven, preferably with a real world setting. Bonus points if it came out pre-2010. Don't hesitate to recommend a movie if you believe it would fit well. Multiple recommendations welcome.
