Thank you very much @Seshi_ for taking out your time and giving me a recommendation. I have started off and definitely enjoying my rec so far. I'm glad you enjoyed the event. Hope to see you again next year! ISOQuorra said: All y'all elves are the real MVPs. I think I would like to offer my help for next year. Hopefully I can make a dent in the workload and help gifts go out sooner. Thats great news! You can keep an eye out after November! I'm sure everyone would be delighted to have you on the team =] |

| It's a pity that I forgot to add the manga that @FireFlier recommended to me before Secret Santa... It was the only manga they gave me so in the end I didn't discover anything new. But I enjoy it, so the gift would be cool if I hadn't read it yet. As for @DreamAnimeCatch 's recs, I've watched 1 episode of 3 of their 5 recs and, well... I think I get from where most of them came but it happened to be from animes I've watched years ago... My tastes have changed since then so they don't fit that much for me now. However, none of them are bad (Karneval, Makai Ouji and Dakaretai Otoko) so I will pick one for now and try to watch the rest of it. Eventually I'll see the rest of the other 2. I thank you a lot for giving me animes with shounen-ai bits, though! I've been wanting to watch them for a long time now but I never seemed to find a lot of them. As for the other 2, I knew them already and I'm not a fan of them, but thanks for your consideration! |

shuu-tsukiyama said: At first I was confused by your post because Act-Age was also the manga recommendation that I gave to someone else lol. But I'm glad that you're liking Haruhi since I was kinda insecure about recommending it cuz it's very dividing, a lot of ppl love it but I've also seen a considerable amount of ppl that hate it. I'll just let u know that the second season it's kinda of tedious because of the infamous endless eight arc (Part of the reason ppl hate it), but after the second season there's the movie which is amazing and it's the best part of Haruhi. I'm also glad that you're liking Act-Age. I've only read the first major arc but it's great.@KingLeonard23 tbh I was already planning to watch haruhi suzumiya, but I forgot to put it in my ptw list. srry. but, because of your rec I actually checked it out instead of leaving it for a very long time in my ptw list, and I'm absolutely loving it. I didn't expect it to have such a sci-fi twist. love it, thnx! @Afloo I really liked the recs you gave me. they were great. as for mizore-chan, I'm not a HUGE fan of moe slice-of-life without romance, but I'm still going to continue reading it cuz it's pretty interesting. act-age was pretty fucking great, idk why you to read 25 chapters, cuz I already thought it was interesting after the first few. and last but not least, I absolutely LOVED omoide emanon. it was very interesting and I really liked it. it's a shame that there aren't a lot of chapters tho. but I think that if there were, it maybe wouldn't be as good. thnx for the recs! mod edit: merged double post. |

| Huge thanks for all the Elves that helped with the event this year, really enjoyed participating in it <3 |

I recommended to read the first 25 or so chapters of "Act Age" because that is where the first arc ends. I have heard some people saying it was decent until the climax of Arc one Where it becoems fantastic. That is what I always do Just in case. Really glad you are liking it m8. |

| Thank you so much for letting me participate!! It was my first time so I was kinda afraid I might do something terribly wrong. Thankfully, the elves all worked diligently in order for everyone to get interesting recommendations!! Again, thank you all so much, esp. elf-tama! As for the recommendation I got from @dugiduy I don't think I had it in my PTW but it was definitely a "ahh... yes, I completely forgot that existed" moment. Since it's a decade old anime, I definitely heard about it back when it aired but it kinda slipped under my radar, probably because I was too young to watch and understand it. And I'm not exactly easy to please so it was great to remember that. It was right up my alley, thank you!! I still haven't gotten past the first few episodes (because, with the busy season, I was half-asleep whenever I tried to watch it and, because it's a bit dense, at some point I realized I wasn't really paying attention to important subtleties and it bothered me ; ; ; ) but I am definitely going to watch it later or well if I give up not feeling tired I might watch it anyway later this week lol. Thanks a lot!! I'm really happy and hope to participate again this year!! :) |
| @_Ayase Thanks for the gift!!! I really liked it ^^ Also thanks to all elfes and everyone for the hard work! |

soukoku___ said: A great Thanks to the Elf-chama team. This was the first event I singed up for, and it went on pretty well. The whole event was neatly organised and I never actually expected a reply. I know a lot of hard work goes into this and even though the gift came a day or two late, it was fine. I appreciate how you checked every reply and then sent it back so as to add a few more points to the details/description. Good job, whole team :) Thank you very much for your warm words! All the elf teams did their absolute best from matching to quality check (to backups) in order to make this event as nice as possible, so it's always heartwarming to receive some words of appreciation! Hope to see you on board sleigh for Secret Santa 2020 too! |
 No tanuki was harmed in the process! ..probably A big thank you to Conde_Mohr, your trolls are the best ❤ |
| A huge ARIGATOU to the Elf-Pyons ! @Conde_Mohr @lHououinKyouma @Seshi_ @TlkanAbuto @ImperfectBlue 'Twas my first Secret Santa participation, and was a lotta fun. I saw you added an Elf-note to the gift I received, to improve it, and took the trouble to go through my list and tell me why I would like a certain rec. Must've been a lotta trouble going through hundreds of such cases. Really, HATS OFF to you guys. Same goes for the other Elf teams as well. THANKS A LOT MINNA-SAN |

| First I would like to thank everyone who worked hard on this event. It was great and I hope to be able to join it next year too~! Well then. Now the main part. @tretij I would like to thank you for recommending me Erased. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm at ep 5 and I love it. I knew about this one for a long time but for some reason, I didn't want to watch it, as I thought I will really dislike it. Dunno why I was thinking it's a romance story, though it's not. As I said, I'm 5 ep in and I love it. It's amazing and I'm happy that thanks to you I could watch it. Thank you! Also, I wanted to thank @Gwynne I'm really happy you liked my recommendations as I was really scared you might not like even one of them. Thankful I was wrong and you will never guess how happy it made me to read that you like them. Thank you too. |

OffColfax said: I will also chime in with special thanks for my elf note from @Conde_Mohr. They turned what would have been a poor gift into something memorable, and did so on top of running their whole team at that. I'll be making your gift into my 1500 Complete milestone, which is definitely a place of high honor in my mind. Thanks for your message! I'm happy that you liked my recommendation. Reading the message again, it may not have been my most inspired one, but Princess Tutu is certainly an anime worth watching and easy to overlook if you're not looking for it. But hey, people with Aria on their favourites know what's good so what can I say? :P |
 |
| Thank you so much for all your hard work! Thanks especially to Elf-tan for your efforts on the manga exchange and to @Redth_SA for the wonderful recommendation! I know that I made a difficult request, but I really appreciate the effort you put into finding something that fit my specifications. The manga you picked was so cute and sweet; I'm so happy with your selection! Thank you again! |
   |
| Huge thanks to all the elves and to all the other participants. This is my third year participating in this event and I haven't been disappointed yet. Thanks to @Stardew for the recommendation. I've been meaning to watch this show and I'm really enjoying it so far. |
| If I had a nickel for every anime that began airing on October 9th 2022 that started with a B and ended in "ock", I would have two nickels. That's not a lot, but it's funny that it happened twice.    |
| Oh my gosh I'm really glad you've even considered watching them and am super happy that you like Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai enough! ;A;; So many of the characters are SO FUN! I hope you like Joshikousei as well!! |
| Thank you, Elf-Hime team, I appreciated your Secret Santa pick.. ;p Event overall was nice, learned a pair of things for myself as well, how I'll pick anime in future.. ;p |
| You're very welcome! <3 @Haruchan- @hamaon Glad you liked your gifts! |
 |
| First, thanks, Elf-tan team! The event was amazing and all thanks to the hard work of you guys. And thank you @_V-A-M_ for the recommendations. They're very diverse and I intend to read all (or almost, I don't have good impressions of Cheese in the trap because of TV drama). I started with Apocalypse on Toride, the characters look interesting and the art is very nice, I like this style. I laughed when I saw Kamisama no Iutoori in your suggestions. I saw the movie and for sure I will read. My Deepest Secret seems pretty interesting, and I was very happy to have a Nakamura Yoshiki manga in the suggestions. And don't feel bad about Tower of God's recommendation, the art is beautiful and looks like my kind of manga (even though it already has 400+ chapters). And I remember Killing Stalking because of the controversies and why not give it a try? Thank you once again, I loved your present. |
| Thank you very much to @natsuaki for writing a recommendation for me :) |

| Thank you @Weezneez for recommending me so much good anime :D I really look forward to watching them when I get the time. I never expected to have such a detailed gift !

| Excellent event, guys! It was super fun and well organised, so a big thanks to all the elves and everyone involved. Thank you @ggragoose for the gift! I'm currently watching Oregairu and am pleasantly surprised so far - I'm loving it! Thank you so much for the recommendation, and I'm definitely excited to get to watching everything else. Thank you @Rakshasa99! I'm making my way through all your recommendations in order, and having a great time - the ones I've read so far have been fantastic, enjoyable reads, so thank you so much! I'm super excited to continue on with the rest :) |
| Ahh the secret santa this year has been so fun ! This year was my first time joining, I had a great time both choosing gifts as well as receiving. Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful elves who made it all possible, you guys are gems and you've put so much work into this, thank you for making this event so fun! @SmokedSloth Hey there!!! Thank you so much for all the recommendations you gave me, I actually remember watching some spice and wolf ages ago when I was 12 or something and never finishing it, so I can't wait to get back into it again from your recommendation. I'm so excited to start relife as well, i've heard of it before but hadn't really known what it was about, and it sounds right up my alley. And one outs was something i'd never heard of before i'm really excited to watch that too !!! It sounds so good, I can't thank you enough for the great recommendations :') I hope you got some cool ones too! Happy New year to you, as well as the elves + everyone here, and a late merry christmas :) ! |

6HosT said: Hei, ANd my appreciation to @SmaugBaggins for amazing gift! Already watched few episodes of Working!! and already like the Takanashi, interesting,what will be bring down later on.. ^_^ We will see! Have a amazing year all! Glad you enjoyed it. I had a little trouble making a reccomendation initially but glad I found something you would enjoy! |
 |
| FIrst of all, thanks a lot for this great event! To all the Santas who took their time to find a perfect gift for their recipients and to all the elves who have worked so hard during the holiday season. Being an elf for the first time was a great experience, so thanks for having me this year! And, of course, thanks to my own Santas for their precious gifts as well! <3 I still have some manga to read and an anime to watch, but I'm sure I'll like them a lot! |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| First, I want to thank all elfs for this event and I hope I can participate again next time. It was an enjoyable event. Then, I want to thank @ToastFish for his recommendation of animes. I have actually watched the first four episode of " Steins;Gate", which I can say that I am already invested in the show. The plot is a little bit slow, but I heard it is essential for it to be like this to explaiin the world for later. The characters are all likeable and funny. Thank you for recommending me Steins;Gate and I will also check the other shows when I have more time after exams. Also, I want to thank @Seshi_ for also recommending me the manga "Claymore". I want to read more manga this year so I am glad I can start with some dark fantasy manga. I am sorry that I didn't start reading, it just exams are really stressing me. I will read it after exams because the synopsis sounds really interesting and it kinda reminds me of Berserk. |
