Thirteen reasons to watch Itsudatte My Santa!:
1. You really like Ken Akamatsu's style or have a strong nostalgia for his works, like Love Hina.
2. Today is 2005.
3. Today is Christmas Eve, or New Year's Eve, or even just a snowy winter. This isn't the best Christmas OVA, but we don't have that many Christmas OVAs and specials to watch.
4. The magnificent Aya Hirano voices the main female character, and listening to her voice is always a pleasure. Moreover, she voices a character that is completely atypical for her, which adds interest.
5. High-quality musical accompaniment. After watching, I even wanted to listen to some of the tracks separately from the anime itself.
6. You've already watched this anime and liked it.
7. You're a schoolboy or college junior who really wants to get a girl…

Anime Girl With Force You To Love Santa
Itsudatte My Santa! is an anime that feels like, it is in double-speed when running at normal speed, and is complete otaku trash from a time, that is long gone.
The main character is such a funny miserable little man, who has the funniest name Santa, and it's just in misery about the torture of his life, but luckily Santa Claus sends his granddaughter to soften his moody heart.
But maybe the main character is just trapped in a hell designed by himself, but now santa girl here to save him.
But Santa girl, is just a gift who keep on giving, and now anime Beach episode will in zoom.
if you like this anime, it's very much up to your Love Hina tolerance. For me the best point is that the main character, is not giving punched team rocket style up to he…

This is probably THE Christmas anime, likely uncontested by lack of there being many solely dedicated Christmas anime out there to begin with. Most anime will either have something relating to the theme of Winter or have Christmas be the backdrop to the episode - but this OVA is very unambiguously revolving around the holiday as it's core feature. Now, does that mean it is good?
Well, I found myself watching this mostly out of curiosity because this anime certainly does have a unique novelty to it - but that novelty wears off fast and I especially felt that as I dragged my way through the second episode. The first thing you will likely notice about this is that the pacing is so fast that you will feel the G-forces on you. This show very much doesn't like lingering on any moment longer for…

Ok, so, I was checking again on these OVAs and animes I watched back 10 years ago and I remembered this was average-garbage but I decided to re-watch this to make sure my memories were alright about this.
I wanna write this mostly cause I saw a lot of 10's in some reviewers. I didn't read the reviews but seriously, I'm sure they are just trolls so don't go for that score, please. Trust me, a 5 is the fairest score objectively speaking (I really, really mean it). Other than that, it's just a troll score.
I'm gonna go with the bad first and then the good, ok?
Basically, you're not missing ANYTHING you MUST watch before you die. Just skip it and be happy. Unless you are new to anime and you're like 15 years old (the age and condition I watched this for the first time), you are going to get…

This is by far the best CHRISTMAS SPECIAL in THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN WORLD!! Every year I make everyone I know watch this and every year everyone is filled with joy, happiness and the CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!
The Art, stellar, the sound phenomenal, the music should hang in a museum, the characters have perfect designs and the voice acting well it's okay... Just kidding it ties it all together perfectly.
10/10 Watch this ever Christmas and you will have a CHRISTMAS TIME!
Also the beach episode is pretty nice to.
This show in the number one reason I stay on this world.

Itsudatte My Santa is a terrible show, but I LOVE it. Why do I love it? Even the wisest cannot tell, but I guess everyone has a guilty pleasure. It's like the creators had a checklist of things to put in an anime and things to put in a Christmas special, and no other ideas. They were going to complete the checklist though.
The Anime Checklist:
Food (check)
Protagonist lives alone (check)
Girls (check)
Cats or catgirls (somehow missed this one)
Cute maskot (check)
Trip to beach, hot spring, or bathhouse (why not all three, check)
Absent or neglectful parents (check) A misunderstanding (check)
Fanservice (CHECK)
References to other anime (we'll fill that one with a magical girl transformation and a mecha battlem, check)
Main characters are high school students (somehow missed this one)
Loli…

Rate of 10 (wow!)
english dubbed
Warning:has a powerful deep message but ends on a high note. Also this review is different. In terms it is not a pro vs con approach but more of a story of impact the show had told through an alternate window with an added bonus of comical flare.
Another day another long 24 hours. Is how i used to feel. Maybe it was things not going my way, low self esteem or other factors. Whatever the case i was not happy. Until i saw this show.
Granted i originally chose this for it's ecchi tag and a last laugh at the joke of life before my life ended. Yes, i got that deep. Sad but true. Moving on this movie completely changed my life for the better. This movie is an odd duck of showings for it's bizarre nature of misfortunes but it is those same ones that are slowly…

[WARNUNG : SUMMEN SPOILEREN AHEADDEN]
So, I actually came upon this anime by actually buying it. Yes, you heard that right, I legally purchased this DVD, although I was probably enticed by the hot girls on the cover in Christmas cosplay. It's not as bad as some of the reviews say it is, although it's not amazing either.
[STORY]
The story, in short, tells us of a guy called Santa who was born on Christmas and is pissed all his life because he doesn't get any presents or a separate birthday and his parents never come home. Although I would be pissed too if my parents named me Santa. He then meets Mai, a "Santa Claus in training" (??) who proceeds to demonstrate some oogly-boogly magic on him, and it takes like a whole episode for the twat to realise that she's trying to make him happy and h…

Well, welcome back to the world of Ken Akamatsu, the guy who made a manga series that I was very annoyed with, spinning off into an anime series that I reviewed over a year ago and I really hated the hell out of that show and can’t understand why people like this but then again I reviewed the Christmas Special and that was less painful but still bad nevertheless.
Now given that this is only an OVA that lasts 2 episodes, I’m already considering to be better than…..well, you know, and I’m going to try my best to not much mention much of Love Hina, since this could be a whole different set of property than what I already seen of Akamatsu with some similarities to his past work.
An unlucky boy named Santa was born on Christmas Eve whose parents don't even care about meets a Santa-in-training…

This is a rather… odd show. It’s about a boy named Santa who has always been alone every Christmas and yet because he was born on the Eve of Christmas, he is given the name Santa. Who in their right mind would call their son Santa? Well, his neglectful parents it looks like. Then suddenly, out of know where (like almost every other romance anime out there) this girl shows up and asks him ‘want to spend the night with me?’ And thus begins are strange and odd show. Its not that this show is bad, more like predictable.
Santa sounds rather whinny and annoying but because of Mai, I wouldn’t be surprised. Mai is extremely crazy and overly energetic. She can only create things that start with ‘San’ because she is in training. Now this doesn’t work well because in the dub, the items are not calle…

I'm not even going to waste my time with this review so lets get into this. Its a waste of time writing a review on this but I have time to spare and to waste.
Story (1/10)
I had thought that Kanokon ~Manatsu no Daishunikusai~ would be the most lackluster anime that I'd see during 2009. Given that Kouta and Chizuru graced our screens in November, that assertion seemed likely to hold. Oh, how wrong I was. After the delicious melancholy of Blue Drop, I fired up Itsudatte My Santa! looking for something short and funny with a slight zest of holiday cheer. Unfortunately, however, it proved too long on stupid and too short on functioning humor for my needs. Good thing it was a mere two episodes, as otherwise I might have set fire to my monitor in disgust.
Much like Mai, Itsudatte My Santa!'s…

Itsudatte My Santa! is an anime OVA with 2 episodes with a different concept. Santa is not a single man, but rather there are many and Mai is one in training. She falls in love with a human boy born on Christmas day who is named Santa. She comes to him on one Christmas Eve when he is in high school and tells him she is Santa and will make him happy if he spends the night with her, which later leads to her displaying some of her magic.
The main character Santa (the boy) thinks he is unfortunate and that no one, even his parents do not like him. Mai makes him realize that he has been clinging to things that are not really sad in any way.
Later follows some romance. You must consider it romance, but nothing romantic is actually there. Later the story follows how she confesses her love to Sa…

"Always My Santa!" is an odd duck of an Anime if there ever was one, thats for sure. Starting with the story then. In some respects, its a standard romance and is handled well by Akamatsu-sensei, as usual. There are some odd elements to the story as well though, the magic and Santa Claus and how that all works together. In that respect, it feels like the audience is only witnessing a small piece of a larger story. That being said, however, it doesn't complete mar the experience, one just feels as though these are just two episodes of a larger series - and they are not. Further enhancing this sensation is the shear speed at which the plot seems to move - seems like the whole mess is on fast-forward. Overall, it feels like these two OVA episodes are a condensation of a long manga or somesuch…
