| This is one of the requirements for the anime challenge: Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length (easy/medium/hard) What does the word "cours" mean? I'm not familiar with it. Thanks |
MadeULook said: I have mostly everything planned out but I just need some help with: 1. Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant. 2. Watch an anime with children as the main cast. I'm drawing a blank here. @MadeULook an anime that has children as the main cast (along with an adult) is Barakamon. This aired Summer 2014 What genre would you like? I have watched a broad range of anime, though I'm not familiar/watch much horror |

I'm not familiar with it. Thanks 1 cour = 3 months. That's generally what cours represent. So 1 cour anime = 12-13 episodes, 2 cour anime = 24-26 episodes, etc. |
 |
| I have almost of all my lineup done but need a recommendation from you guys. Btw, how does this entry 'Choose an anime from the predictive search using a generated random word' work, exactly? I get a random word from the site, enter it in search and then pick an anime from those that show up? Or does it have to contain the word in the actual title? |

ManzoHiroshi said: Cour refers to the airing period and is only applicable to TV series. One cour is one anime airing season which is three months. It would not be surprising to not understand it as "Black Rock Shooter" with 8 episodes and "The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato" with 16 episodes would both be considered one cour by most people even though one is twice as long as the other. In the past anime would take long rest periods without breaking the anime into separate seasons so although "The Big O" took 14 cour to air it was only actually airing for two of those and should be looked at as a 2 cour anime. Katanagatari is only 12 episodes, each being 50 minutes long, but it only released one episode every month so it is a 4 cour anime. Chi's Sweet Home is 104 episodes long, each being 3 minutes long, and four episodes were released every week so it aired over six months making it a 2 cour anime. Princess Tutu had 13 episodes which were 24 minutes and 25 episodes which were 12 minutes. It aired over four seasons making it a 4 cour anime despite being the same length as a 2 cour anime.This is one of the requirements for the anime challenge: Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length (easy/medium/hard) What does the word "cours" mean? I'm not familiar with it. Thanks By "Watch an anime with three or more cours" they are expecting you to watch a 35+ episode anime such as Death Note, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Hyouge Mono, or Kingdom, although since 4 cour anime tend to be more common it may be easier to find a 4 cour anime that you'd like to watch. |

| "Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length (easy/medium/hard)" I am not sure what this means, but I think it means to be able to watch a lengthy anime. Please correct me if I'm wrong. "one-/two-/three-cours" ==> I dont understand what this means. Thank you so much. |

For easy mode you only need to complete a one cour anime (the most common type, typically 10-15 episodes), for medium you need to complete a two cour anime (also very common, 20-30 episodes), and for hard you need to complete a three cour anime (much less common, 33-45 episodes). For each you may choose to watch a longer anime than you are required to. |

| Hey I was wondering if someone could recommend something for these? » Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant » Watch an anime that has been adapted to live action Thanks in advance! |
 |
| Haikyuu for the first. Bakuman for the second |
| Under Adaptations, when you speak of one-two-three cours, does that mean separate seasons? Example - I was going to watch Gantz and Gantz 2nd Stage as a "two" cour anime. Is that what it means? If so, cool. I want to watch that. But if not, what are some examples, and can someone explain in layman's terms what this means? Thank you! |

Is that what it means? If so, cool. I want to watch that. But if not, what are some examples, and can someone explain in layman's terms what this means? Thank you! From what I understand with the cour thing, you need an anime that has spanned for at least the number of cours you want. So if you chose the hard challenge for example, you are gonna need an anime that spanned for ~9 months or more. I picked HxH for this. I think it aired for like 2 years or smth, so I am 100% covered. |
Seiya0890 said: But its still disgusting from my point of view, and from the word's point of view, therefore its disgusting. Wise words. |
ryukhyuk said: Anime that are split into separate seasons are treated as more than one anime. For example, Kirarin☆Revolution is a single anime that is 153 episodes which makes it 12 cour. Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream and its sequels Dear My Future and Rainbow Live are 51 episodes each adding up to 153 episodes but they are three separate 4 cour anime.Under Adaptations, when you speak of one-two-three cours, does that mean separate seasons?

I guess I may not be clear on whether a "two-cour" anime is a longer running anime over more than one "season." What would constitute a two-cour anime??? |

I am not so sure about that, however, for all intends and purposes, it run through said cours, so I guess it counts. |

ryukhyuk said: An anime that has aired two standard consecutive seasons such as Nanatsu no Taizai or Shirobako are two cour and will work for the challenge. The Big O and Chi's Sweet Home will also work even though they didn't air in the standard way. Ghost Stories will still work even though it's only 19 episodes and so will Shiba Inuko-san even though it's only 52 minutes.katsaroulhs said: From what I understand with the cour thing, you need an anime that has spanned for at least the number of cours you want.

desseroni said: How old do the kids have to be for the children as main cast one? I would guess below teens. So like 14 or less? |

| So I started an anime in 30/12/2015 and got nearly half way through it. Could it be counted for this challenge? |
suraj_anton said: So I started an anime in 30/12/2015 and got nearly half way through it. Could it be counted for this challenge? The rules state that you should start/finish anime for the challenge only during the time of the challenge. However this seems like a special case, so you will have to wait for SheyCroix to clarify this. I personally wouldn't allow it. |

I don't really understand your question. If you want to watch FMA 03 then you have to start at ep1. Same for FMAB. katsaroulhs said: ryukhyuk said: So, does that mean a cour equals just one "season" that it aired? Do the seasons have to be consecutive? Does it matter?

If a show goes on a hiatus, which probably won't happen within 3 cours anyways, it doesn't count. It has to be consecutive. Split cours don't count, either, even though it doesn't make sense that they don't. |

Miragee said: I'm not rewatching those episodes just to make it count for the challenge. I'm still watching three of the four cours in 2016 so I think it should count. I was just saying that if I had started FMAB after those 15 episodes then it would count for the challenge but instead I've deciding to continue the original so it should also count for the challenge. Although it isn't one of the main challenges there is a bonus challenge for completed a dropped or on-hold anime which you likely would have started before 2016.zombie_pegasus said: I watched the first 15 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist in 2015 but most people consider those necessary to watch before starting Brotherhood so could I still count it as starting the 03 anime in 2016?

| I have little issue with - "For each item select an anime that fits its criteria. Each anime can be used once within the challenge." I mainly watch ongoing anime and have no idea what anime will come out next seasons since Im choosing what anime Im going to watch like week or two before start of season itself and of course, we dont know all anime that will come in fall season etc. What should I do then? Can I fill my form with season anime four times a year or smth like that? |
