| I need to clarify something about this rule: The anime you choose to use for the challenge must be watched during the challenge period. I initially thought that this meant that anything I started before the challenge period (which I assume would be the day I started the challenge to the end) would not be allowed for the challenge. Now that I've re-read it, I'm thinking that I'm allowed to use anime I started before but hadn't yet completed by the start of the challenge. Which assumption is the correct assumption? |

As long as you started watching it since January 1st 2016 you can use it. What if I started it before the year began, but skimmed through the episodes I'd watched after the year begins and then finish it off normally? P.S. the fuck is going on with the quotes? |

P.S. the fuck is going on with the quotes? Let's say you just watched one episode on December 31 (or earlier): in that case you should use a different Anime for the 2016 challenge. And yeah I know, there's something going with the quotes right now, and I had to carefully edit my post this time. |

I have a ton of anime on my Currently Watching list, barely any of which I started this year. Could've used them for this and killed two birds. |

Actually, if you rewatch all the episodes that you have already seen before January 1, you can use the anime for the challenge. If you want to go through the hassle of rewatchng them all, that is. |

You mean all 126 episodes of HxH I've watched so far? Or the 30 of Digimon Savers? You see where I'm going with this? |

yhunata said: You mean all 126 episodes of HxH I've watched so far? Or the 30 of Digimon Savers? You see where I'm going with this? I was rather thinking about the ones where you only watched a handful of episodes. You seem to have a bunch of those in your "currently watching" list. |

Rather, those are the ones that will help me most with the ones I've yet to complete, specifically the "Mod's favorite" and "Three cour" challenges. Most of the other ones I could easily get done with stuff I've already started this year. |
|
| @yhunata It's best that you just use other anime for those. If you can find anywhere that any of the shorter content from those franchises can fit you can treat it like the series is going there as well just to make yourself feel better. I watched the first 15 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist in 2015 so I couldn't use it for the challenge, but I was already planning on using it for "an anime that won an award" which the movie also fits. I have an average time restriction of at least 4.8 hours per main challenge so the 36 episodes I watched of the series in 2016 is counting towards that. |

And addressing HxH specifically. Even if you could use just finish up the last 20 episodes, There are things that fit the staff favorite category that are much much much shorter than that. So you still wouldn't be getting ahead other than the faux-prestige of saying you watched a 150 episode series for the challenge. Examples: Wolf Children, Summer Wars, Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru 1985 movie, ping pong, war in pocket, eve no jikan |

| Kimi to Boku on Loxaris's fav's list. It's also fairly short and streaming it shouldn't take up much bandwidth. |
zombie_pegasus said: Are there any rules around really slow subs or partially subbed yet complete anime? [...] I'm a bit confused about your question, but you can use anything. What would matter is that you watch them during the year and that's on your completed list at turn-in. |
SheyCroix said: Flowering Heart is four cour (by episode count, I believe they're releasing two episodes per week) so according to the rules I am allowed to use it as long as I'm caught up. You said that it counts as long as I'm caught up with the "aired/subbed" episodes. I would guess this assuming the subs aren't that far behind the aired episodes considering the fact that you grouped them together. I'm fairly certain it will finish airing this year. If it still counts as two cour due to it only taking that long to air then I guess it wouldn't matter much anyway.zombie_pegasus said: Are there any rules around really slow subs or partially subbed yet complete anime? [...] I'm a bit confused about your question, but you can use anything. What would matter is that you watch them during the year and that's on your completed list at turn-in. I honestly think I'm just bending your wording here. I do have another anime to use for that challenge. |

Flowering Heart seems to marked with a total of 52 episodes so it can be used for three or more cour item. |

Yes, you can use any type as long as it fits the challenge (there are two type challenges).Hey just wanted to ask 2 things ( I'm sure it was mentioned, but I cannot force myself to dig throgh 45 pages :P ) as an anime for the challenge I understand any type, right ? I mean OVA, ONA, Movie, TV etc. Secondly, can someone recommend me an anime for: » Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant Would appreciate greatly My list I think you would like Gakkou no Kaidan.

It's the best thing that came out last season by a wide margin. |

| Hello everyone, I've got a question that was possible answered before. I couldn't find it in the FAQ so im posting this despite of checking all the pages. I was wondering if I can use an currently airing anime fot the category "watch an anime with less than x completed members"? If the show is still airing, no one has completed it yet. But it seems kind of out cheaty and not covered by the rules. |

mozgow said: @Brati Yes, you can use currently airing anime, but when you turn in the rule must still apply (i.e. the amime must still be watched by less than x MAL users). Ah okay, I didn't know that. I have to rearrange my entries then. Gin no Saji for example was in the top 300 anime when i started it, but it has dropped to #302 or so since then. Well, my fault for picking something that close to the limit I guess^^. |

| So I just thought, can I use Fairy Tail to finish an on-hold or dropped anime? I've almost finished it, but have it on-hold since, well quite a while now. |
Misaka said: I think informally it's better to use anime you're had on-hold/dropped for a long time. What I used I had dropped over a year before I completed it. It doesn't affect the challenge, but if you had dropped an anime ten years before then it would seem better than if you watched an anime you put on hold right before 2016.So I just thought, can I use Fairy Tail to finish an on-hold or dropped anime? I've almost finished it, but have it on-hold since, well quite a while now. |
|
| @Zombie_pegasus, right. I don't remember anime I put on hold/dropped pre-2016, I've used MAL to list them so I won't forget them again. So are you suggesting I should wait some months before finishing that challenge? I'm pretty close to finishing the challenge though. |
| @Misaka In the form it does say to use anime you started and stopped watching before 2016. If you have none then use one that you dropped/put on hold close to the beginning of the year (before you started the challenge for obvious reason). |
|
| @zombie_pegasus. I just noticed that... Crap. Well does it mean I can't fulfil that requirement so I can only finish 7 bonus challenges? |
Misaka said: @zombie_pegasus. I just noticed that... Crap. Well does it mean I can't fulfil that requirement so I can only finish 7 bonus challenges? Bonus challenges don't have to be completed, so you can leave it at 7 if you are unable to finish. You don't have to do any bonus challenges, that's why they are bonus. |
| @Korrailli, but it's funnier to complete a full set, so you're not lacking anything. |
| @misaka What about finishing Mushishi? Unless you watched it this year. You did make good progress, so should not be too hard to finish the last 6 episodes. |
