@TheSFHero I'm so glad you enjoyed it, its definitely a interesting read!
And Zeno's villain arc has had me on the edge of my seat. Being careful of spoilers, I literally felt like my soul was being crushed with each chapter, every time a dragon encountered Zeno up until the current chalice storyline, my poor dark dragon and happy hungry bunch! I'm so ready for them all the reunite now! How about you?

| @GreenPanda56 First I felt like it came out of the left field, but the more I read, the more I realized how tragically sad his life was. I wanted him to succeed but at the same time I didn't. It tore me apart! |

| @Rezarikka Thank you for the recommendations. I know it was very tough for you to recommend me something new but I really appreciate your hard work. Jormungand, your main recommendation, was entertaining and it kept me hooked till the first season whole night. |

| @Potato-Chhan Hello Potato, happy new year thanks for the gifts!! I started watching Tiger & Bunny and so far I really liked it :) I also read into BNA and it sounds interesting, I will check it out soon^^ I was so happy when I read your message, you put a lot of thought into your choices! I wish you a great 2025!! @goncix3000 Hello Goncix, happy new year as well! Your recommendations were great, single volume BL were exactly what I was in the mood for. Nagahama was sooo good, it hit all the spots for me! And I also really enjoyed Lion-gotoki and Oita ga Sugiruwa Koneko-chan. I hope you will have a great 2025! |

Hello Memore! I hope you had a beautiful christmas and arrived happily in the new year 2025!
Thanks alot for the santa present!
I have to admit, I have already read Under the Green Light some months ago, but had dropped it back then because of some plot points, which fked me up tbh back then. (dropped it back in July/August)
But because of your recommendation I've looked into it again and saw that it was completed in the last couple of weeks and decided that I am gonna give it a try again and read it anew.
And I have to thank you so much for that! Otherwise I wouldnt have picked it up again! and yes! The ending was so intense holyyyyy. I also cried, which I didnt expect.
Hope you received some great recommendations and had an amazing time over the past few weeks!

| @Tsokura, I am also very glad that you read it to the end! It is one of my favorites! I like it so much! Yes, I received some recommendations, although I don't like the genre so much. |

| @Mandorik Thank you very much for recommending Aria! I just finished the first volume of it's prequel, Aqua, to get a small sample and really enjoyed it! The characters are all enjoyable, the art is very stunning, and the story does a really good job capturing the fun, tranquil adventures and life experiences. I am looking forward to learning more about the characters and the world of Aqua in the dozen of volumes! |
| @MRpuchamon Thank you for the anime recommendations! Ragna Crimson had quite a strong and intriguing first episode that I did not expect and I am curious to see where it goes. I will definitely be munching on some popcorn as I enjoy the thrilling action! I have also been really enjoying your other recommendation, The Fable. The show reminded me of The Way of the Househusband and the Yakuza: Like a Dragon video game series with its fun cast and wacky action that surround the Yakuza lifestyle. P.S. |
| THANK YOU SO MUUUUCH <3 especially the elves, such a great work <3 Sadly, my Secret Santa is missing :( can someone help me? When I click on the name it just goes to a 404 page... Maybe they changed their name? Or just disappeared from my anime list :( It's supposed to be this one |

| Thank you all for making this event such a wonderful one again :3 It's always so nice to see everyone being happy afterwards, hope you all could make some nice memories this year! And especially GAPLS for sending me such a wonderful gift, the long version will definitely land in your DMs :D Finally, of course also thank you to my recipients first and foremost ILIA (but also Chaosfromhell and SilvaMirie), for giving me the option to write such fun messages! I hope I see you in the event next year again! ✨ |

| @CoopBro Sorry, I think I mentioned Monogatari because I got confused with the manga secret santa. |
| how do you @ someone??? |
 Hello! i'm not done with changing this but. uhhh |
| This was my first MAL Secret Santa and I enjoyed the format; Actually, I don't often update my graphics, so these kinds of events are probably going to be the primary way I do so, lol. Yes, I procrastinated until after the deadline, but the staff were flexible and I was able to both send and receive a gift. Plus it's nice to interact more with the community, which I need to do more of. Looking forward to next year. |

| @Hirouki Fantastic Recommendations will be watching all of them 10/10 thank you!!! |

Happy new year, and thank you for the recommendations. I've managed to watch all of them. I was a fan of "terror in resonance" binged it in a single day, awesome show.
Can't say the same about "Pupa" though, i think i could demand moral compensation for my last braincell damage haha. but i've asked for it myself :D
as for the "Drifters" really fun and interesting show, it was fun to recognize some historical figures and see how people from different eras react to different thinking logic, different technological development etc. it's a shame that it still doesn't have a second season
Thanks for recomendations, i doubt I would find any of these on my own, and i've greatly enjoyed this event.

| @Vardaruus happy new year! i'm glad to hear you enjoyed most of them :) i believe i also binged most of, if not all of, terror in resonance in a single day, really captivating and interesting i watched pupa with my friend, us making jokes left and right really helped make it enjoyable, haha drifters is one of my favorites and it really is a shame that its second season hasn't come yet. however, i noticed that the first season covered 45 manga chapters, and the manga just recently hit 90 chapters, so maybe the second one will come soon? the manga is apparently released pretty irregularly. my pleasure, i really enjoyed this event as well! |

| Hello! i'm not done with changing this but. uhhh |
| @Pabloku Thanks for the gifts! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. So far, from your recommendations, I've started watching Mayonaka Punch and it's absolutely hilarious! I don't know the last time an anime made me laugh this hard. I can't wait to have the time to finish watching it. I also plan on watching the other two soon, since they also sound very interesting. |
 |
| @StuartFalcon thanks for the anime Recommendations. sorry if i wasn't specific about that i wanted. Vinland Saga is great |
| Hello! i'm not done with changing this but. uhhh |
| @MonsterGH Thank you for your recommendations, I haven't finished any of them yet (sorry) but I'm loving Houseki no kuni and I promise to read the others as soon as possible. :) |
| @Pogers Thanks for the recommendation! I have long heard great things about Monster. I think the thing that held me back from getting around to it was thinking I should read the manga first/instead. But given that I loved Pluto's anime and you recommended it, I'll be sure to give it a shot. Hope you have a great year! @EliteSlayer_12 Admittedly me and Manhwa haven't had the best relationship, but I'm hoping Omniscient Reader can turn me around on them, because it would be rather ridiculous of me to write them all off that generally. Unfortunately Solo Leveling is part of the reason for that (I didn't care for the anime and I had skimmed through some of the comic, but didn't bother logging it so you had no way of knowing). But I'll be sure to go into Omniscient Reader with an open mind, I've been wanting for a manhwa to prove me wrong. Hope 2025 is a great one for you! @AoiRar Thanks for the signature! It's sleek, well-balanced, and dynamic. While I know my way around photoshop, those aren't the types of images I usually spend my time on. If you're up to it, I'd love to hear about your creative process, because you did some cool things there that I wouldn't know how to approach if I wanted to mimic it. Certainly an improvement from my old one. Here's to 2025 being a great one for you! |

Thank you for the recommendations! Shows like Flag are exactly what I hope to find by participating in events like these, being both unique and something I would have very likely never even heard of otherwise! I do plan on watching the other 2 as well eventually, but this one immediately caught my attention :)
And of course, thank you to all the elves that volunteered for this as well :)

| @Skatrzoo I'm glad to read that you were interested in Flag, the truth is that it was quite difficult for me, you've seen some good anime and many of the ones I thought you already had in some of your lists t-t. Keep watching anime and participating in the community, regards. |
 |
| @sephyr786 Thanks for the recommendation! Ranking of the Kings was very emotional and intense like you said. It was a very fun watch and I enjoyed all of the characters. I was waiting for a rainy day to watch the show, and I'm glad that I finally got to watch it. |
 |
| @FireRifle64 Starting with thanking you for the gift, I'm currently watching Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi and enjoying it quite a lot. After seeing your MAL I realize that we really share about 50%, I'm sorry that your search has been arduous but I assure you that it was fruitful, of the three recommendations, the three have interested me. Greetings and thanks. |

| I really enjoyed this event! I hope to see everyone on the next present exchange! |
