It's the season for giving and Santa Claus is making his lists. When it comes to the anime world, we usually see a Christmas themed episode here and there, but this time around we want to look at the shows that are airing this season and see whether Santa would visit these people and whether they'd get presents or coal. Or in the case of some characters, huge lumps of coal that could have its own orbit. Considering what's going on in some of these shows, it could certainly go either way. With much of this show involving a character that was trying to run away from his responsibilities, the main cast of characters didn't come across well from the start. With that and a heavy focus on secrecy to protect the clan itself from being exposed to the rest of the world, there are positives and negatives here that makes it a difficult choice. While some of the girls may make out alright by Santa with a visit, it's hard to tell whether Rikuo would really merit anything based on how he's acted, both with himself and his family and with his friends. Besides, any attempt to deliver presents to the clan home would likely result in him being beheaded by the defenses.

Set in a present day alternate world of Japan where it's kept more to the old traditions rather than get Westernized, it's not a place where you'd imagine Santa trying to visit. While he may want to try and slip in all Santa Ninja style, so much of the setting is designed to keep people out and away that it would not be a surprise to see him killed in action for his efforts. With the people involved not exactly being the types to believe either, because of their upbringing, there wouldn't exactly be a whole lot of sadness either from them. Santa would be better off not going there, though I'd certainly like to see either a Santa Samurai or Santa Ninja.

With a world filled with people who have abilities that are far more magical than Santa and one that has numerous creatures that go above and beyond, it's not the first place that you'd imagine Santa visiting. At the same time, Santa would definitely want to visit many of the people here who are doing the right thing and living their lives true to themselves. And you can especially see Santa visiting in order to bestow presents upon the numerous main characters who have been largely absent for this year so that they can get a little something for their efforts.
