Gosick.

Also, could someone give me a recommendation for "Watch an anime with a non human main character"? Thanks!

Can someone give me recommendations for anime where the MC is a profession in their field, please? Thanks in advance!

Ratohnhaketon said:
I'm having trouble finding an early work by an established staff member. None of the titles I look into are sticking to me. I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.

galimx said:

It means what it says. Early or first works of an director or other staff member, for example:

Hideaki Anno: Gunbuster
Satoshi Kon: Perfect Blue
Miyazaki: The Castle of Cagliostro or Nausicaa

Jiharo said:

Well, they did say established and I'm not sure what counts as being "established"

Perhaps if someone((or you) could explain that, I might have a better understanding and options to choose.

Thanks

In the original listing it also mentions "10+ roles" so an early work of someone who has at least 10 different credits under their name.

Here are some suggestions:
Panda! Go Panda! - Hayao Miyazaki
Gegege no Kitarou - Isao Takahata
Digimon Adventure - Mamoru Hosoda
Dallos - Mamoru Oshii
Ashita no Joe - Osamu Dezaki
Mononoke - Kenji Nakamura

Jiharo said:
Btw does Hoshi no Koe/Eva count?

TsunderePrince said:
Can I use Akagami no Shirayuki-hime for a Historical anime? It's not tagged as historical, but the manga is.

Brand said:


Yeah, both of those would count.

IMKZ said:
Recommend me an anime for this please.

Thanks in advance

Hey! I just "signed up" for the challenge, and i realized that ive almost completed it all already (starting since Jan 1 2015). Can someone recommend me an anime for the Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant bullet point? Preferably a 13-episode long anime.

Also, i have a question regarding "Watch an anime recommended to a title you scored the highest for this challenge (so far)". Does this mean that if ive watched, for example, Uchuu Kyoudai, which is an anime recommended if you liked Bakuman, which is an anime that is in my challenge list and that i gave a 10, ive completed this bullet point?

Have a question about this challenge:

(Watch an anime that another user has watched for this challenge)

Does this mean I have to watch an anime someone has watched for this particular challenge, or it can be any challenge. For example:

( Watch an anime that focuses on non-romantic relationships)

Someone watched an anime related to this challenge. Would me watching that anime count.

Ratohnhaketon said:
Pretty sure it's just referring to the anime challenge. If it was specifically that challenge no one could get started or there would only be 1-2 titles in there if the first person went with the OP's.

Transience said:
Question: Does Hellsing count as an anime with an archetype as a main character (megane)?

Maron1 said:
Hello, could somebody please recommend me an anime? Preferably something that is between 1-2 cours long and has no Ecchi in it.

Ratohnhaketon said:


http://myanimelist.net/anime/22101/Soredemo_Sekai_wa_Utsukushii

It's a bit reminiscent to Akagami no Shirayuki-hime.

Transience said:
Bump

Transience said:
ye, bump again. :/

shadowzephyr said:
On the other hand, can anyone suggest me anime? Hopefully 1-cour and exists on my On-Hold list. Thanks! :)

Ratohnhaketon said:
It's kind of one-cour at this point, but I recommend finishing 07-Ghost if you were really enjoying it up until then. Personally I disliked the first 10 episodes but at 11 I got hooked.

riho88riho said:
So need some help, please! ^-^ (I'd prefer shorter series since I'm kinda runnin' outta time due to starting late...)

1. I'll be completely honest, I have no clue what this requirement is asking for >.> "Watch an early work of an established anime staff member (10+ roles)" I've never paid attention to people or staff all that much soooo... explanation or recommendations?

2. "Watch an anime that does not take place primarily in Japan, but is still within our universe" stumped on this one ;_; any suggestions?

3. "Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant" Recommendations, please =D

I appreciate the help/assistance~

TsunderePrince said:
1. I don't know how you feel about dubs, but Claymore is a good one as it was one of the first anime that Todd Haberkorn voice acted in.

2. Kuroshitsuji Book of Murder takes place in London and it is really good. There's also Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 2012 which takes place in London (I rated it a 10). Hellsing Ultimate also takes place in Britain. Monster takes place in Germany. Le Chevalier D'Eon (France)

3. Watch Gosick it is my favorite anime ever. Or you could watch Shokugeki no Souma which is also amazing.

» Watch an original anime --> Try Mononoke or Zegapain. For Mononoke you can watch ep 9-11 of Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror to see if you like it. It's a prequel to Mononoke.
» Watch an anime with less than 10k completed members (hard) -->it's usually old stuff that falls into this category while being still decent I guess? I haven't done it yet but planning to watch Area88.
» Watch an ONA --> Go for Eve no Jikan.
» Watch a staff member's favorite anime --> ugh there is a list, just klick through them until you find something you want to watch.^^
» Watch an early work of an established anime staff member (10+ roles) --> Going after my own recommendation, go for an old Miyazaki work. Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro or Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind should both be viable and good.
» Watch a historical OR military anime --> Go for Spice & Wolf, it's already on your ptw.

shadowzephyr said:
Um.. hardly, I guess. Well, usually the term megane is referring to some sort of trait, or reason to make the character looks 'attractive' or 'sweet'. It's difficult for any main characters in Hellsing to fall under this category. I might be wrong though. :) You can refer from TVTropeshere.

Okay a few questions.

Does Cardcaptor Sakura count for » Watch an anime with a non-human main character since isn't a human and is listed as a main character. If not, what's a good, relatively short (24 or so episodes) one that does? Also, since I started Cardcaptor Sakura before I signed up for the challenge, would it still count?

And do 12 episode anime count?

　» Watch an original anime

Is Kowabon an original anime? I was surprised to see a tag that said "original" on it because I assumed that it was based on what I thought an original plot but I guess I was wrong.

Watch an anime that has been adapted to live action:

Can Parasyte be considered one?

And can someone recommend me an anime? I would like it if you listed 3 in case I saw the one you recommended.

MukuroChwan said:
I need a recommendation, anything will do. Just, not very long anime. (Max. 36 chapters, since we're in november and I won't be able to finish if it's any longer than that ^^u)

Right, here's my list
