    Itsudatte My Santa! Series Review

    In case you didnt catch the title or the pic, this is a christmas anime.

    2 episode OVA (there was a preview for a 3rd but it never aired.)

    2 episodes where the second wasnt even needed.

    Synopsis: Mai, a Santa in training, appears in front of an unlucky boy named Santa on Christmas Eve, promising him that she will make him happy for one night.
    I've seen enough hentai to .... oh this isnt a hentai???

    Yes, the main protagonists name is Santa.
    His birthday is December 24th.

    This is the story of a loner kid who is always alone and is appeared to by Mai, a santa claus in training who says she will only develop into her full body when enough people believe.

    Story - Pretty typical rip on A Christmas Story.
    Honestly wasnt terrible, but not great either. The parts that kept me around were the slight instances of ecchi with Mai in the shower and once again during her transformation into her full figured, bustier, body.

    2nd episode was useless. 6 months pass by and Mai's friend/classmate/rival whatever is sent in and tells Mai that she is her replacement and for has to return to school by christmas eve.
    So her friend is trying to let her make the best of her time and say goodbye to Santa before she has to return to school.

    Characters - Mai - Santa in training
    Santa - The main protagonist in this story
    Sherry - Mai's friend/classmate
    MaiMai - Mai's little sister [Real original there]

    Voice Acting - I watched this dubbed bc I just wanted to sit back and not read.
    Brittney Karbowski was Mai, Chris Burnett was Santa and Alison Viktorin was Sherry. Colleen Clickenbeard was also in the second episode as Maimai, Mai's little sister.

    They all did well but Mai's character was somewhat too high spirited to say. Didnt hurt but maybe didnt need some of the yelling!

    Animation - This was made in 2005 by Three Fat Samurai (never heard of that studio before)
    It was mediocre to decent at best with some usage of static images and reusing of Mai's transformation sequence in the second episode.

    Overall - 5
    Story - 5
    Voice Acting - 6
    Action - 5
    Music - 5
    Animation - 5

    Overall - I gave it a 6 on MAL but really it deserves 5 and I gave extra bc I liked the ecchi. What little there was.

    He can post it wherever he wants :p

    I didn't think it was a bad as you were saying it was. Still wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either. Somewhere on the edge of poor to only watchable during Christmas.
