The idea is good but why only those few eligible anime? Why no Pokémon which just started airing recently? Why no Ayakashi Triangle which is still currently airing?

You can basically only choose between 20 different isekai anime, not a great selection. At least let us take anime from last and next season too where there's actually good ones.

No, your rankings do not have to be about anime that are airing this season. You can see in the first example that Kineta did not use her rankings to display more of the anime she chose (Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon).

@GokuDLuffy45

Where can I find an official image?
I would suggest checking out the official Twitter for the anime (linked on the anime page on MAL). They often post official art there, but also screenshots from the episode or other promotional images (for example, art drawn by other famous mangaka to celebrate the anime).

How to add links that can be clicked in profile??
Right now, links can only be clicked if you attach them to a Ranking image. More text customization is something we'd like to address in the future.

Yes, you should be fine with "My Happy Marriage" as a theme. It's one of the new TV anime.
Every Summer 2023 Anime from the category "TV (New)" and a selection from the other categories are eligible.

Query: In the post to enter the contest, it is required to mention the Theme. My header image is custom-made, so should I write custom in the Theme section or "Black-Smoke" which is the base Modern About Me Design theme?

Good luck to the participants. Shame that classic designs are ineligible as they have more personality in my eyes.

Looks nice but maybe you should make the about me section text boxes all fit over the "read more" tab. Or does it look different on different devices? And I hope I'm not derailing the thread too much.

Even though your header takes up most of your About Me section you don't use a custom background image. Just going by the formalities I would suggest writing "Dark Smoke" for the theme. You can still add a note that you're using a special, custom-made header. That would probably be the correct way to do it.

(I'm not an admin for this contest though)

@LotusTolba  yes, you can change the background image/pattern to "My Image" and upload an image of your own.
It's mentioned in the entries thread that you're allowed to change backgrounds for the contest. Just write "Theme: custom" in your entry if you do so.

The "Coral Line" theme you're currently using looks pretty nice as well. But if you have an image that looks good either covering the whole background or as a repeating pattern, use it :)

About the background maybe it's editable only for MAL Supporters as i tried different themes to make sure but couldn't change it in any of 'em.

 thanks Vaturna (●'◡'●)🤍, yea i felt like it wasn't that good to put but were not sure so i have changed it now hope you tell me your thoughts☆☆

btw yours looks pretty nice too and liked the  " Should get an anime" & " want a second season" sections looks like i'll make similar ones too, hope you don't mind it  (^///^)
+ which anime is the Red-haired girl from?

@LotusTolba  I completely forgot that you can't edit the design if you're not a supporter. You're right -_-
I wrote a comment on your profile page about your current design.

Feel free to copy or adapt anything you see on my profile (except for images) <3 The characters are from The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior. The girl is the main character, the villainess of an otome game, but because of reincarnation she's good now.
