YCM Secret Santa 2012: Anime Edition (Secret Santas are out!)


Recommended Posts

I saw this being done on another site and it looked like fun, so I decided to bring the event to YCM too!

So basically how this works is you'll have a Secret Santa who'll be giving you an anime to watch for the holiday season. Fill out the app in bold below and once I pool all your info together, I'll send each participant the information of the person they're going to "give" an anime to.
Once I give you your person, [b]DO NOT[/b] send your gift to them. Send your choice to me, the middleman, and I'll send them the choice.

[b]Link/spoiler of your anime list: (If you don't have one handy, just list some/most of the stuff you've seen and we'll work something out. I'll be the middleman, so I'll make sure you won't be given something you've seen)
The episode limit you are willing to watch: [/b]
[b]^If above is more than 12-14, would you want to receive 2-3 animes as a gift that fits within your limit:
If there is a particular genre(s) you really aren't interested in:
Other: (stuff you might want your Secret Santa to keep in mind, examples being "I like to get mindf*cked", "Don't give me something on my want to watch list, surprise me!" or "I like to avoid standard Shonen fare", etc.)[/b]

[b]Conditions:[/b]
-Nothing ongoing.
-Must have subtitles/translation and be completely available to find.
-Don't be that guy and give your person something you know they won't enjoy. The spirit of Santa involves the spirit of joy through giving after all~

I'll give everyone a week to submit their information ([b]as in due November 19[/b]), then I'll randomize pairings and try to get everyone their information that day or the next. I don't know how many will participate, so it could either be something done quickly enough, or it'll take me time to sort out everything.

Everyone has until [b]December 25 [/b]to finish their animes (not that we'll know if you finished or not unless you do the following). This isn't required, but I strongly encourage participants to post their thoughts on the anime they watched during that week ([b]as in post your reviews/overall thoughts on the week of Christmas[/b]) to give everyone an idea of what it is and maybe add it to their to-do lists.

Some might think I'm doing this a little early, but I'd like to think everyone's busy and has other priorities to attend to IRL and they might have trouble fitting in another anime to watch aside from what they watch every week. Some people just might need more time than others and I'd say a little over a month's plenty of time to get an anime done.

I'll post who everyone had Christmas day. Have fun watching!
Oh, and [b]NO SPOILING WHO YOU HAVE, K? IT'S A SECRET.[/b]

EDIT:
If you finish the anime you were given and decide you want to be given another one, ask me over PM and I'll have your Secret Santa send you another present!

[b]The episode limit you are willing to watch:[/b] 52 although that is pushing it a bit.
[b]^If above is more than 12-14, would you want to receive 2-3 animes as a gift that fits within your limit: [/b]Eh, sure.
[b]If there is a particular genre(s) you really aren't interested in: [/b]Just no super girly, gay, or kiddy stuff that'll make me want to blow my brains out.
[b]Other: [/b]Pretty much good with whatever just doesn't suck. So don't be the guy who tries to be funny and force me to watch some super crappy anime. I think some of us are aware of the last time that that happened.

Link/spoiler of your anime list: [url="http://myanimelist.net/animelist/MaterialVita"]http://myanimelist.n...st/MaterialVita[/url]
The episode limit you are willing to watch: 12-14(-26) What this means is that, like Fusion mentioned, if I have time, I might try a second one and 12-14 is the best amount of episodes to allow watching another anime.
^If above is more than 12-14, would you want to receive 2-3 animes as a gift that fits within your limit: That depends if I have time (see above).
If there is a particular genre(s) you really aren't interested in: N/A
Other: I guess just something that isn't [i]too[/i] creepy.

By that, I meant would you be willing to view more than one anime within that episode limit?
Like would you want to watch 1 25 episode anime, then 2 12 episode animes as an option for example?

Also, glad to see so many people volunteering for this. Tell your friends.

Just double-checking to see if you read the first question quoted wrongly since it seems like you actually are into that stuff.

Yeah

Something like could work

In fact, it would probably be better that way. I'm just saying that I can take a [b]max[/b] of 2 50 episodes. It isn't in any way what I would [b]prefer[/b]


Also, were you planning on compiling a list bro? It might be helpful to know who's in and who isn't etc. etc. for the community as well.

I dunno, does there really need to be one? Sure I'll pool all the participants' names into a randomizer and pair them up, but that's something only I need to be concerned with.
And everyone will find out everyone's partners on Christmas.

Other: I love anything that has a good plot behind it, and contains a bit of romance and action.

Sounds cool

in fact, that probably sounds better.

But what happens if you get paired with someone who loves all the things you hate (like probably Opal >:^D) ?

Well, even if we didn't like all the same things I would still try to be fair, and expect the same in return. If we have a myanimelist or similar account for the lists than I can easily see whoever I'd be paired with's favorite anime and manga, and I can at least try to match those in genre.

[/quote]It was said that after a week since the thread was posted we'll get our randomized pairings.

As in you wouldn't know what to give them?
I'd recommend surfing MyAnimeList or Anime Planet under the tags your person's looking for and check out some of the average ratings and stuff.
And if you have trouble doing that, I could help you.

Just check the front page.
It does say a week to apply, but if participants stop coming in with a few days left, I might just cut it short, but hopefully we'll keep having people coming.

Remember, tell your friends!
