Once again it’s time for probably my favourite time of the year (at least as far as aniblogging goes) – Anime Secret Santa! Organised by Reverse Thieves, I participated the last three years and got introduced to a bunch of good series. How it works is that we each make three anonymous recommendations for another participant, and we each receive three in turn. We then have to watch at least one, write a review about it, and they all get posted on Christmas Eve. Fun!
This year, weeb Santa left me xxxHOLiC, Seirei no Moribito and Last Exile under the tree. Not a bad spread, I thought, when I got the recommendations in. xxxHOLiC and Last Exile I had both heard of (unsurprisingly, as neither are hugely obscure) and definitely had loose plans to watch at some point. Seirei no Moribito, on the other hand, I had heard about but it was years ago and in the context of recommending obscure series, and I’d forgotten all about. I was definitely excited to check them all out, although them all being 2 cours did give me some slight pause… somehow, I managed to watch them all!
Merry Christmas!
