Anime-Planet Secret Santa 2019

I might have missed a couple, but I counted 126 sign-ups for this year. That has to be a record, isn't it?

I'd say so. This has been an awesome year for sign-ups!

We never made a global announcement before, I think, so yeah, let’s make this a fantastic Santa :-)

Now let's hope they actually participate, rather than just sign up and disappear like the newbies usually do.

Are you in an anime or manga slump? Or ever wanted to recommend an anime or manga to someone that they might have overlooked? Join our annual Secret Santa event to take part in the fun!

The goal of Secret Santa is to make someone watch and review something that you love, or, you could be a bit evil and make them watch something terrible! But be careful, you might just get a lump of coal in your stocking in return ;)

Making your Secret Santa recommendations

• NorthPole will send you your Secret Santa buddy through a forum PM, on November 19th. The choice is random.

• You'll then need to choose 3 anime or manga for the person (depending on their requests), and reply back to the NorthPole PM with your choices. Do not PM your recipient! It will spoil the fun!

• Do not recommend titles that are:

• Ongoing
• Music videos
• Untranslated/incomplete

Getting your Secret Santa recommendations

• You'll receive your recommendations on November 26th.

• If for some reason you can't watch or read any of the titles you were given, you can request a new batch once.

• Choose at least one of the titles to watch or read, and add a review for it. Or, do them all!

• Though it's not required, everyone is encouraged to discuss your picks and post links to your reviews here in the Secret Santa thread, any time (no minimum date). It helps Santas feel excited about participating to see discussions about your picks!

• Reviews are due by the week of December 24th. Please add a note at the bottom of the review that it's for Secret Santa 2019.

Secret Santa pairs will be announced here in the thread on December 25!


Happy holidays and happy anime watching!​

You know, there is a simple way that might help with this problem:

Make another site announcement for when it's time to drop your picks, and another for when they've all been given out

:D

that's not going to happen. site notifications go to 4 million people, we aren't going to send reminders to all 4 million as well even though only an extremely tiny handful signed up ratio-wise

Maybe people who aren't gay don't wanna see gay stuff just like people who are gay don't wanna see hetero ecchi stuff? For the same reasons?

I'm a lesbian and I don't care for the overused hetero ecchi tropes, so looking at it from a different perspective I think that's fair

Maybe we will get the badge for the last season before this season's badge? :o, I am still hoping to get it in the future. Anyway, Badges don't matter, it is about the community coming together.

Mention of badges was removed from the announce because there's no long term plans to add them. It was a grand idea at first but it never materialized. We will have a thin banner folks can use if they participated, for their bio/forum sig.
