AudioTsunami said: TripleSRank said: I'm having trouble thinking of relevant anime I haven't seen that fit this qualification. Would Nana work? It works, sure, but I feel that it isn't ideal because the main focus of the show isn't on Hachi's pile of relationships(Hachi x Mean Man especially) or on Nana x Ren. It's primarly about the relationship between the two Nana's and how it is strained by each of their immature decisions at times. So if even though it is a "Romance" anime, I'd actually file it under the "Anime about non-romantic relationship" challenge before I'd say that it focused on romantic ones. Alright. If it's a strained example then I'd like to at least attempt to find something more suitable. Would Nodame Cantabile fit better? If so, I can use that for this category and find something else for the music category (e.g. Hibike! Euphonium). |

I don't remember Nodame Cantabile very well since it's been forever since I watched it, but if memory serves. Their relationship is a bit obscure as well (depending which season you watch). Looking through your "Plan to Watch" I would suggest Golden Time or Kimi ni Todoke. |

Josine said: Woa you've already seen everything I watched :$ Maybe ERASED? I saw the first episode and it sounds promising (airing) Edit: Oh but it's not romance/comedy/action I think Oh, Boku dake ga Inai Machi? I'm watching that already. Anyway, thanks you! shadowchild23 said: Romance: Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji Comedy: If you don't mind sex jokes then Golden Boy or GTO perhaps Ookami Shoujo to kuro Ouji sounds interesting and look appealing to me. Thanks for the show; Gonna use this for the recommendation challenge. Seem like I could use Golden boy for a challenge as it matches one condition. Thanks, I gonna use this show. And as for GTO, it's already in my plan to watch list but I gonna say thanks ya anyway. Two more challenges in progress. Woot! :) |

I found Ookami Shoujo to be a very solid romance anime. It's executed properly and has great characters. Enjoy it ;) About Golden Boy... One of the best comedies I've ever seen. It really matches my kind of humor taste. Btw, the English Dub is incredible. And this is coming from a guy that 99% of the time prefers the original with subtitles. Give it a shot :) |

I just finished it and was quite pleased with it. It's 12 episodes and if you really like it, has a second season as well. |
| Wondering if this anime would count for the challenge "Watch an anime with children as the main cast". Are the two MC's children? http://myanimelist.net/anime/10408/Hotarubi_no_Mori_e Also, does a 45 minute movie count for the challenge "Watch a short anime"? |

Are the two MC's children? http://myanimelist.net/anime/10408/Hotarubi_no_Mori_e Also, does a 45 minute movie count for the challenge "Watch a short anime"? The anime you listed should work for an anime with children as the main cast. I doubt that a 45 minute movie would count as a short anime, i could only assume that it would count as a movie. Also would this anime work as a sports anime as it is basically about fishing. http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=12883 |
 You think the worst of all is far behind The Vampyre of time and memories has died I survived. I speak, I breathe, I'm incomplete I'm alive - hooray! You're wrong again 'Cause I feel no love |

| "Watch an anime with a target demographic that can apply to you" As a 18-year old male, would both Shonen and Seinen be appropriate? I feel like it's the age that overlaps both genres, but I'm not 100% sure ^^ And because I didn't get an answer, can I have a few recommendations for animes with an archetype as a main character? (no magical girl things, though, please) Edit: ZRoT said: Thanks Probably a dumb question, but I can use movies to fill out other categories right? Yeah, sure, anything that does not specifically say TV or ONAs or other stuff ^^ |

ZRoT said: Genius Party is a collection of short films and it works for "watch a short anime". A single short film such as "Tsumiki no Ie" will also work. "Watch a movie", "Watch an ONA", and "Watch an anime one/two/three-cours (or more) in length" are the only challenges that require a specific type. All other challenges can be completed with any type of anime. "Watch an anime series that you can finish in one day" simply requires the anime to be more than one episode but does not specify a type.aifukola said: No, it's a movie.

Josine said: You could watch the ONA and then watch the Movie to count it for both challenges. Just like Madoka, Afro Samurai, and Chocolate Underground the movie is not the exact same as the original so you can't watch one and say that you've watched the other because that would be lying. Can you watch Dragonball Kai and say that you've watched DBZ? Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that you haven't. Even if the story is the same it is composed of original animation and should be treated as an alternate version of the anime rather than two separate entries for one story. An OVA can play in a movie theater without making it into a new anime so you should be able to realise that they are separate entries for a reason.I was gonna watch Eve no Jikan for ONA but if I watch the movie instead, does that count? (And I should I still list both the movie and the ONA in my animelist... because the movie contains exactly the same as the ONA and more. So basically if you saw the movie you saw the ONA.) The ONA is a little bit longer than the movie because although the movie adds new content it also cuts some out. |

(I was not going to watch it for the movie challenge I have a different one planned for that.) |
Josine said: I read up on it a little and apparently they do have pretty much the same animation but the movie adds in a few scenes and takes a few out, although I've heard that the scenes it removes aren't very important anyway. I think it makes sense to just add the movie to your list. If you want to use it for the ONA challenge I think that would be acceptable.zombie_pegasus said: You could watch the ONA and then watch the Movie to count it for both challenges.

| |
| I was wondering. What happens if at the time I watch the anime, it meets the requirements (like, it has less than 10k viewers, or has less than 7.0 score, or is in the top 300, or was recently reviewed), but then, at the end of the challenge, it doesn't meet it anymore? Of course, if I watch the #7 anime, it's pretty sure that at the end it still will be in the top 300, but was wondering more about the less 10k viewers, or the recently reviewed. Do we need a screenshot? Or do you trust in the participant? Also, that could apply for the random generated word, and for the "on plan to watch for too long". I hope you understand where I'm going with the question. |

What anime were you planning to use for it? Wondering if something like Barakamon would count... linkhimura said: With the "recently reviewed" one I decided to do my own timestamp for it. I gave a link to the review and added which day I watched it so that should be enough. I always state why the anime fits the requirements in brackets (<-these things->) when it makes sense to. If the reason is something that may change over time then you can state what the stats were when you completed it. For an extension of the "under 10k" challenge I stated that it had 6 completed members when I watched it (7 afterwards, obviously) and although I know that it won't get to over 10k completed members by the time the challenge is done I still like to note my success. If you use FMA:B as an anime series you can complete in one day then it might be a good idea to give an explanation as to how that's possible.I was wondering.

I hope you understand where I'm going with the question. There are quite a few challenges that are uncheckable. Last year I used anime that I started in 2014 and some people used short films for "watch a short anime" and neither of these "cheats" prevented us from completing the challenge. It's different this year as there actual will be someone checking our lists, but I'm sure there will still be some people who will get around the rules. The challenge is just for fun so if you throw some extra words and numbers into your sign-up sheet and it seems believable then that should be good enough. We aren't able to check to see if you've actually watched the anime and not just added them to your list so there's already a fairly high level of trust involved in the challenge. |

zombie_pegasus said: We aren't able to check to see if you've actually watched the anime and not just added them to your list so there's already a fairly high level of trust involved in the challenge. Yeah, that's true. Maybe I'll do the brackets thing |
Anaxim said: Chuunibyou is a mix of romance and pseudo-supernatural. Based on your ratings I think you'd like it. I hope his hair is dark enough for you.So the one anime my challenge list is missing is one with a dark brown haired protagonist (to match my hair color): anyone got anything that isn't on my anime list?  |
|
| Oh, another question. About the random word. Since it will give me english words, is it correct if I use the "translation" of the anime? Like, for example, if it gives me nightbor, is it correct to use tonari no totoro? (I don't know what the predictive search is) |
linkhimura said: Did you mean "neighbor"? Tonari no Totoro is the first anime that comes up in the predictive search from that word so it would be the first choice (often the first thing to come up will be either an anime you've already watched or something you can't find subbed/can be bothered to watched).Oh, another question. About the random word. Since it will give me english words, is it correct if I use the "translation" of the anime? Like, for example, if it gives me nightbor, is it correct to use tonari no totoro? (I don't know what the predictive search is) |
|
| Oh yes, that's the word, sorry. But I mean, it doesn't have the exact same word, right? (like, in the original title). It can be a translation? (like in totoro) And for the hair thing, the main character has to be my same sex? Or can be a female with the same hair color? (I'm male). Also, if there are more than 1 main characters, it can be any of the others? |
linkhimura said: It doesn't even have to have the word in the title (I'm using "Kurogane Communication" and I got the word "justification").Oh yes, that's the word, sorry. But I mean, it doesn't have the exact same word, right? (like, in the original title). It can be a translation? (like in totoro) And for the hair thing, the main character has to be my same sex? Or can be a female with the same hair color? (I'm male). Also, if there are more than 1 main characters, it can be any of the others? It doesn't specify that they must be the same sex. It also states "a protagonist" not "the main protagonist". Most anime have more than one main character, but the challenge implies that they should be a more important character (the protagonist is the character the anime is about, but some anime will have two primary protagonists). The character I used has the name "Hero" and is the only character listed as a main character in the anime he's from, yet he didn't seem to have much presence. |

| This would count for the "Watch an anime that has a main character that is a professional in his field" challenge right? Isn't the MC a teacher? http://myanimelist.net/anime/2605/Sayonara_Zetsubou_Sensei |
|
| Hello again everyone, hope the challenge is going well for you all so far. I've returned for a few more recommendations! Despite being behind on my list updates... Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant Thought I'd get this out of the way sooner than later, just feel free to recommend me what you believe is the very best. No real preference, I'll take anything. Couple others I'll just throw out I don't really have any ideas for yet but are of less importance: Watch an anime with a target demographic that does not apply to you(I'm a mid-20 male... Something I won't just hate?) Watch a Historical, Military or Police anime Preferably something not TOO serious if possible. |
