I don't know if I understand that well, but it's to suggest right?, so:
Aria the Animation for slice-of-life (Day 12)
Another for horror (Day 16)

I have to comment on that note about Boku no Pico because I think it's really valid.

For anime that came out during the 90's, I'm going with Brother, Dear Brother.

"Psychological" has to be Serial Experiments Lain.

For a 13 episode mecha series - Let's put Mobile Suit Gundam the 08th MS Team. It's 12 eps, if we add the short Miller's Report movie afterwards that should make 13.

I suggest:
Rosario+Vampire for the non porno ecchi series
Spice and Wolf for the 00's anime series
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu OR Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt for comedy series
Koi Kaze OR Angel Beats OR Haibane Renmei for drama series
Kokoro Connect for series that came out this year
Gunslinger Girl OR Fate/Zero for action series
Elfien Lied for thriller series
Gantz OR Serial Experiments Lain for psychological series

Just thought I'd toss out a few...

Edit: Sorry, apparently missed the part where it says only one recommendation per person. Out of all of these I'd say Koi Kaze for drama series. It's a really good series, it's just hard for some people to stomach the subject matter. If that doesn't get approved then I say Kokoro Connect for series that came out this year.

Drama-Hi no Tori
scifi-Kaiba (actually 12 eps)
Kino no Tabi
realistic scifi-Moonlight Mile (12 eps, but has a second season of 14 eps too)
Psychological-Paranoia Agent
magical girl-Pretear
scifi-Crest of the Stars (has a season 2 that's also 13 eps, and a season 3 of 10 eps)
Sports -Aim for the Ace 2 (1 is a movie)

tsk, you should've saved Mellowlink for the challenge
Good luck finding a 13 ep sports series, I see Ginban Kaleidoscope and Taisho Baseball Girls (12 eps), but most of these tend to be at least 50 episodes.

I don't understand why are you doing the "first 13 episodes of" thing - there are plenty of titles that are exactly 13 episode. For example, under Romance, you could put Saikano, True Tears, Myself;Yourself, Spice and Wolf, sola, etc.

Historical isn't blessed with such a wide variety, in fact there is only one 13 episode show, but at least it makes it a really easy choice: Shouwa Monogatari.

The reason is because of Day # 30 We will be watching the second season of something.

That's okay, but neither Aishiteruze Baby nor Hyouge Mono have a second season. And Hyouge Mono currently has only 15 subbed episodes.

Well, it's your idea/event, so obviously you will do what you think is best. All I can say is that I'd favor consistency when in doubt.

I mean I'll happily watch Baccano! again, 08th, Madoka, and obviously Paranoia Agent, but there is no way in hell I'll watch Rosario Vampire a second time. I'd rather watch Mars of Destruction five more times than sit through 13 episodes of Rosario Vampire.

Good suggestion about the tracking I will make a club dedicated to this.
Edit: Here is the club. http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=34389

About anime you have already seen. The challenge will have a list of the people who completed the challenge at the top of the thread. If you want to be one of the names on the list you must watch every anime on the day it is up. However if you want to participate anyway you can participate as much or as little you want but you wont be listed as one of the people who completed the challenge.

We'll see how it goes. I should be good as long as nothing else bad that I've already seen comes up. I mean I enjoy being challenged with bad anime and all, but something I don't like doing is revisiting a challenge I've already beaten. I think what I'd rather do is use the Boku no Pico substitute for it. At least then its something I haven't already defeated.

I figured 13 episodes of a longer series would not work as well, especially if one watches 1 series a day you'll quickly lose interest in anything you left half-finished in that time period. (My experience at least)
Though Hyouge Mono is probably a great choice too, just not completely subbed yet, as we know :/

Would be so hard to make this work if you're not on vacation, or a NEET. Anyway, I'll try to make this marginally less shitty. How strict are you on the 13 episode rule? For an anime that came out this year I'd nominate Tsuritama (12 eps), but if not Joshiraku (13 eps).

I'm willing to accept anything but if a better choice comes along before the 21 I will take that instead.

Joshiraku is what I would choose judging solely by compatibility, but you decide since you know more about these anime, considering I haven't seen them myself.

How about because Rosario + Vampire doesn't really define Ecchi? It's just a bunch of panty shots. You can just make it the first 13 of SnQ.

Is the 13 episode really required?

Yes 13 episode is required. I got some good feedback from people posting in this thread and in order to remain consistent on the challenge I will make 13 episodes required to replace an anime with 13 episodes. But if you can think of an anime to replace Rosario + Vampire let me know and give me good reasons why I should change it.

The genre isn't shoujo according to the myanimelist page. Also this doesn't seem like a fair representation of Battle Shounen. I do think you have a good eye for ecchi I suggest recommending a 13 episode series that could replace Rosario + Vampire.
