Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Some kind of white elephant recommendation exchange.

The trick would be making sure people got stuck with shows they hadn't watched before. I'll have to give the logistics some thought.

Has KyoAni ever made something that was a hit with goons after Nichijou?

That seems interesting. I know there's a ton of stuff that I haven't watched because I keep hearing are overly depressing (Grave of the Fireflies), make me cringe too hard to read (Onani Master Kurosawa), never felt the need to despite their near universal acclaim (Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, NGE, LoGH, etc.), and so forth.

I have been trying to read some shounen ai / yaoi though after having avoided it for years. Only found 1 manga I liked so far. Granted, I haven't been looking very hard.

A lot of the decent BL manga are oneshots or one or two volumes at most, so they're usually not too big investments. If you want a suggestion, Slow Starter by Kei Ichikawa is very cute and just a handful of chapters.

I also liked 50 x 50 by Saika Kunieda, which is a good comedy where the two leads are both total idiots, but the ending doesn't really go anywhere and feels incomplete.

I'll give Slow Starter a try.

The one that I liked was Sonna Me de Mite Kure, which was hilarious and adorable from beginning to end, though I was initially sorta put off by the art.

I generally like my romance comedic and sweet like Truthism, Love/Death, and Honto no Kanojo. Stuff like Collectors is great too, though.

I'd say it'd be best if there were some kind of randomizer that would output a show from some kind of pre-loaded pool based on the inputted length/genre/etc., but I don't know enough about programming to know how feasible that would be.

e: Something like this or this but with anime.

Get everyone to make a list of animes.

Write everyone's name on a separate slip of paper. Put them in a box.

Get a bunch of recommendations. Put them in another box (or a bag, if you only have the one box).

Take out a name.

Take out a recommendation. If the anime/manga is already on that person's list, then draw again. Repeat until you get something new.

Alternatively, etch the words "NICHIJOU" into a rock and repeatedly throw it at people's heads until they die / get the message.

I typed in Game of Thrones and got recommended the Sarantine Mosiac series, which I liked. This thing may be legit. Then again, I was introduced to both Game of Thrones and Sailing to Sarantium via my Fantasy and Horror course in university so maybe my professor deserves the credit.

Maybe I should read The Lions of Al-Rassan as well.

I think a secret santa-esque thing would be more fun since anyone can search semi-randomly and pull up dozens of things instantly, but having a personal recommendation can be cool.

I was thinking more that it would help streamline the whole assignment process, because I can imagine a personal case by case basis can get unwieldy with enough participants. I suppose the personalization is the whole point though.

I will draw stick figures that symbolize my favorite yaoi pairing and then have them do lewd things like hold hands in public and have their foreheads pressed against each other.
