Secret Santa 2014: Anime Edition


Recommended Posts

I figure this should get started soon since it was started earlier last year, and I figure I'll go ahead and be the one to post it (I know I should have done this earlier because now I'm behind schedule). Actually, I was originally going to host the Summer secret anime exchange, but gave it to Agro-senpai at the last minute (shows you how evil I really amn't). I may not be online much on Christmas Eve and Christmas, but I don't need to be because instead of Christmas, you can take until the New Year to watch the anime you get (because as was said, this is behind schedule). Without further blah blah blah, I present to you the RULES (as usual):
 
Rule 1. You cannot in any way reveal who you are choosing an anime for. This is a given, but I'm restating because my senpai did. : )
Rule 2. Anime Selection ground rules:
- Selected shows cannot be ongoing.
- Must be 25 episodes or less so that it can be finished by the deadline. (Single or multiple seasons – depending on the length of a season – of a longer show are allowed, as long as they're capable of being standalone from the rest of the show)
- Must have subtitles/translation and must be freely available (preferably legally viewable through sites like Crunchyroll or Hulu).
- You cannot select an anime knowing the recipient will not like it, however that does not mean that a recipient HAS to like the selection.
Rule 3. There are 4 deadlines to keep in mind:
- November 23: Deadline to ENTER (by posting in this thread).
- November 30: Deadline to SUBMIT ANIME to China through PM.
- January 1: Finish WATCHING THE ANIME you were given.
- January 8: This isn't required, but I encourage participants to post their thoughts on the anime they were given, to give everyone an idea of what it is and maybe add it to their to-do lists. This time, there shouldn't be any reason to want something in return. After all, this is the season for giving.
Rule 4. To reiterate the information in Rule 3:
- Enter by filling out the application and posting it in this thread.
- You will be PM'd by me, China, on November 23, informing you of the entrant of whom you will give an anime to.
- You will respond in the same PM (or a different one if you cannot find the original) to China, with a message including the name of the anime you are submitting by November 30.
- You will then be PM'd by China informing you of the anime you will watch on November 30 or December 1. (hopefully on the earlier date)
Rule 5. I am the middleperson in this whole event, so if you have issues, feel free to PM me. If you're given an anime you've already seen, let me know and I'll get it straightened out as quickly as possible.
Rule 6. And if you're cool, you'll suggest an anime for this evil girl (me) to watch that you think she'll like, too.
- Here's My Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/zzzKannagi
Rule 7. When filling out the application, try not to whittle down the possible shows someone can submit to you. The idea of this event isn't just to give you an anime you know you'll like, but something that you MIGHT like, but that you may not know you like until you watch it. Don't be afraid of being put out of your comfort zone a bit.
Rule 8. The Event begins today and ends on January 1, at which point the secret Santas no longer become secret and you can reveal yourself to the recipient of your gift. I will also post a list of who-got-who either later that day, or the next day.
 
Rule Ex. If you happen to finish your anime and want another one, feel free to send me a PM asking to see if your giver will offer up another. Like I mentioned before, you don't have to, but it would probably be easier to give you another gift if you've posted a response to the first anime you've been given. I strongly encourage you to do this if you want to request another gift. And as Fusion-senpai and did 2 years ago, if they don't respond, I'll send you a gift myself, although you won't know it was me until the event is over~

I want to elaborate on this part here: "You will then be PM'd by China informing you of the anime you will watch on November 30 or December 1. (hopefully on the earlier date)". If I get everyone's anime sent to me before the end of November 30th, I will send them out that day. But if I don't get them all, just wait patiently and they will be sent December 1st regardless. I realize that this can be inferred regardless, but I'm saying this to save the trouble in case someone does ask about it tomorrow. Thanks for listening.

Name: D.A.
Anime List: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/SightlessReality
Episode Limit: 13-16 for the first batch if I request another after it can be longer
What Anime/Genres are you NOT interested in?: , Slice of life, Sports
Other: I don't mind anime adaptations of manga "if" their done right. An example of one done right would be Hellsing Ultimate, one being done wrong would be Deadman Wonderland. Please don't gift AOT. I don't care much for over the top stuff like Kill La Kill. That's about it, luckly my anime list is short giving whomever gifts me a sizable amount to work with. :)
