Tendon_Unajuu said: Apologies to my fellow anime watchers and challenge participants (you must be tired of being asked the same question), but I too need your help --> I need an anime recommendation. Please guide me :) (by the way, I think I prefer one cour shows) Wait... You have more than 200 days but still haven't watched Death Note yet? That would be my recommendation but since you're not looking for more than one cours: Bartender if you like sort of deep animes; Date a Live if you don't mind ecchis... |

| Good morning, afternoon, evening to everyone. There are a few things I'm looking to clarify. Watch an anime three-cours in length: I wanted to do Clannad and Clannad Afterstory together for this but it looks like it's not allowed. Is this correct? Watch an anime that has been adapted to live action: Must I watch the live action adaptation or watch something which has been adapted? Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant: I'm open to a fairly broad spectrum, I think. Lastly, if any of you have recommendations for anything on My Challenge List that has not been filled in, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Thnx4dafood said: It says "with a non-human main character". As long as they aren't human and they are listed as a main character for the anime on MAL then it will count. I'm using Happy Happy Clover for the challenge and it has only animal characters, but anime like Tamako Market and Nanatsu no Taizai which simply contain talking animals in the main cast will also count. One of the problems with the wording is that anime like Haruhi Suzumiya and Plastic Memories can count even though all of the characters look human. Historically nekomimis and robots are generally accepted as "non-human characters", although many users will add into their personal rules that they will avoid anime like that for the challenge. As much as Edward would hate me for saying this but I think even Fullmetal Alchemist would work because Alphonse is not actually a human but is rather a human soul which inhabits a suit of armor. Sword Art Online may even count as the main characters are really just ones and zeros in a database. I think Monster Musume would work. I would like to hear from @SheyCroix about where the line should be drawn. As silly as including Zero no Tsukaima for having a mage as a main character or Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san for having a nekomimi and an inumimi as the main characters, counting Death Note for having a shinigami and Show By Rock for having animal-based main characters seems somewhat reasonable.So watch and anime with a non-human MC....Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou has like 5 non-human mc, but one human.... it doesn't say all so I'm guessing that's ok.. |

| 1. Yes it's not allowed. 2. You have to watch an anime that has been adapted, not the adaption. 3. The Tatami Galaxy |

No, I do not think you can watch 2 cour + 2 cours shows to count them as 3 cours (that's actually 4 cours...). I think it's best you just watch one show with around 39 episodes. 2. Nope, do not watch the live action. Just watch the anime that has a live action adaptation (e.g. watch Death Note anime, but do not watch Death Note movie or anything with a live human being in it) 3. My recommendations would be Shoujo Kakumei Utena (39 eps), Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (11 eps), or Seto no Hanayome (26 eps) Hope this helps |
Tendon_Unajuu said: For the first answer you are correct but for the wrong reason. If Clannad and Afterstory were in the same entry they would count towards the challenge. I'm watching a four cour anime for it, but it was aired as a single four cour anime rather than being split up so it counts. Four cour anime tend to be more common than three cour anime and there's no reason to limit yourself to the minimum length. Oddly enough, because of the wording of the challenge even some two cour anime like Chi's Sweet Home and Shi Xiong can as three+ cour anime because of their episode counts.OhMyGecko said: Good morning, afternoon, evening to everyone.

I think it's best you just watch one show with around 39 episodes... Thank you very much. Took Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (The Tatami Galaxy) since you both recommended it. Shoujo Kakumei Utena is 3 cours long and incidentally I had just read about it yesterday and it sounded good. |

| If I watched half of an anime before and after my sign up, it still counts as completing a challenge, right? |
| If you started it before January 1st, you can't use it. If you started it after, you can |
| I'm looking for ideas for the 3-cour anime. Can I get a few recommendations, please? If possible try to keep it a 3-cour, but i don't mind watching a 4-cour if the anime is really good. Thanks. |
| Super Dimensional Fortress Macross You watched the prequel so might as well watch the original series. |
AudioTsunami said: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross You watched the prequel so might as well watch the original series. I was going to watch the movie for the 80's anime challenge, so it overlaps with this one. I have to admit that the original series kinda interest me, so I would not mind watching it as long as I find another 80's anime that is short and has seeds in nyaa. ¿Any idea for that? Of course, more recommendations for the 3-cour anime are also welcome. |
| You can do Gunbuster or Wings of Honneamise for 80s. |
AudioTsunami said: You can do Gunbuster or Wings of Honneamise for 80s. Nice. I will watch 'Wings of Honneamise' for the 80s and 'Super Dimensional Fortress Macross' for the 3 cour anime. Thank you very much. |
sassss said: Yahari is both of those things with a 12 episode count.My list of animes to watch is almost complete I only miss the recommendation from an another participant. So if anyone knows a anime preferibly with 12 episodes and with the genre(s) Romance or comedie or both it would be great. |
| I've taking some recommendations, but I guess I want to look at more options before I decide. So can anyone make more recommendations? One cour shows would be nice if possible. Thanks a lot~ |
TonyTheme said: If I watched half of an anime before and after my sign up, it still counts as completing a challenge, right? As long as you started watching it this year that's fine; if you started watching on Dec 31 (or earlier) it does Not count. |

As silly as including Zero no Tsukaima for having a mage as a main character or Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san for having a nekomimi and an inumimi as the main characters, counting Death Note for having a shinigami and Show By Rock for having animal-based main characters seems somewhat reasonable. Regarding this "Watch an anime with a non-human main character"..... We are talking about the "race", not their job, class, and stuff like that. I start with this since, following your examples, Zero no Tsukaima wouldn't count. Even if they are mages, I think most of them are HUMAN mages (not elfs, trolls, and the like). Likewise Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san won't count since it's their personality that's animal-like, those girls are still human... as for Show by Rock, yes, one of the main girls is human but the rest aren't so that one is okay. (edit: Zero no Tsukaima can be used since the sword is a MC...) So for this specific challenge it would be nice for everyone to keep in mind that it should have at least ONE non-human. Non-human can be everything, it won't matter their appearance (like in Plastic Memories) but it would be better (for me) that such an information can be found easily on the web (the anime wiki, character entry and so on). The only I'm having trouble if it should be considered is the cyborgs/mod humans. Since most of them were human first, modified later.... so any opinion of this is welcomed. ...... Remember that there are many anime out there with non-human characters. Just to mention some from last season there is Noragami Aragoto, Dance with Devils, Pokemon XY&Z, Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst, Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai, Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou, Hacka Doll The Animation, Miss Monochrome: The Animation 3, Diabolik Lovers More,Blood, Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama, Itoshi no Muco, Comet Lucifer, Onsen Yousei Hakone-chan, Brave Beats, and Peeping Life TV: Season 1??.... Hope this was clear enough for everyone. |

Thanks a lot~ Kinda hard finding decent 1-cour shows for you since you have already watched most of them Try some of these: Asatte no Houkou Yomigaeru Sora: Rescue Wings Rec Also, if you dont mind something a little longer, these 2-cour shows are much better: School Rumble Beck Bokurano |

| Does Non Non Biyori count for a main cast of all children? |
Two of the characters are in middle school, one is even in second year, so that would make them teenagers. I'm almost positive that it doesn't count because of that. |
| I want to add the restriction of watching anime I have dropped, but from the rules here, it seems that isn't possible. Should I just scrap that idea and just use anime from my plan-to-watch list and airing anime from this year? And, what about a series like One Piece? |
henriiez said: I want to add the restriction of watching anime I have dropped, but from the rules here, it seems that isn't possible. Should I just scrap that idea and just use anime from my plan-to-watch list and airing anime from this year? And, what about a series like One Piece? The animes don't need to be in your PTW list, neither have to be aired in this year only (There are challenges that requiere to watch from other years). If you started watching animes and dropped them (or put them on-hold), and were from other year (like, you started watching it in october 2015) and then want to finish it for this challenge, you can't, because you must watch it entirely this year. I think you can use those animes if you watch them from the start again. It would be hard to "prove" you watched them from the start, but then again, this challenge is more for fun, for trying different things you normally wouldn't watch, and a big ammount of trust is involved. If you watch them from the start, you should be able to use them, I think. And about One Piece and the likes of it, I don't think OP will finish this year, but if it does, I don't know, it would be hard to say, but maybe it doesn't count if you started watching it before 2016, or maybe it counts since it's really long. If the time comes, maybe you should ask again, and there *could* be an exception. |
| Hey guys!! Can you help me out with these challenges? Watch an anime which began airing between 1917 and 1940 Watch an anime which began airing between 1941 and 1960 Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant I would really apprentice the help. ^.^ |

Thanks, for the dropped anime, I've mostly seen about 1-4 episodes, so that I don't mind doing but series like Gintama and Fairy Tail which I've invested a lot of time into watching 160 and 134 episodes respectively, I won't be able to use which is a little sad. I think One Piece is going to end closer to the year 2020 if anything. It still has a lot in it, and it seems like anime that goes on for that long is fine since I've been following it for a little over 4 years. |
Druaga no tou, I think you would like it. Also you could try Nabari no ou, or Gin no Saji. henriiez said: Thanks, for the dropped anime, I've mostly seen about 1-4 episodes, so that I don't mind doing but series like Gintama and Fairy Tail which I've invested a lot of time into watching 160 and 134 episodes respectively, I won't be able to use which is a little sad.

Maybe you could use one of those for the bonus challenge, "Finish an on-hold or dropped anime." It's not necessary to do them, but at least you would not be "wasting" those animes. |

| I completed the easy challenge in one go today. Should I post my sign up and turn in forms and continue with my actual challenge? I used my original form to determine which users were above and below me so it wouldn't be completely accurate right now. |
|
| I couldn't decide between two I want to rewatch for the » Re-watch an anime challenge, so am I allowed to watch one for that challenge and rewatch the other for another challenge? |
   |
| I'm not sure if this was dealt before, but can we count the MCs for "Boku dake ga Inai Machi" as children? Well Fujinuma is an adult inside, but he technically is a child, body-wise. |
| I decided to go ahead and "complete" the challenge. I find it hard to feel proud of completing it in this way (all the anime I used added up to 76 minutes) so I'll continue to do my real challenge. For whatever reason I had the childish desire to have my name near the top of list for people who have completed it. |

| Can I have a recommendation please, based on my list, and nothing too long. Thanks in advance! |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
