| I'm pretty sure this is a good choice for the non-human one: http://myanimelist.net/anime/589/Ginga_Nagareboshi_Gin Would this also count as "Watch an anime within the top 500 you've never heard of" if i heard of it a couple of weeks ago? |

IF I'M interested in any than it would be be Sailor Moon or CCS or maybe Nanoha. Unless you have a specific recommendation for a shorter one that should be more popular. haha, that's also true. well, one i would recommend is mai-hime, and it would also fit the challenge criteria (no pink in the cover picture). |

| Nice new challenges. After some research I found those three mahou shoujo titles (I think they are mahou shoujo at least): http://myanimelist.net/anime/100/Shin_Shirayuki-hime_Densetsu_Pretear http://myanimelist.net/anime/143/Kannazuki_no_Miko http://myanimelist.net/anime/688/Uta_Kata |

Hey, I never heard of that one before. Great, I'll use it for the top 500 challenge since I already have Chirin no Suzu (very recommendable btw!) for the non-human one.

Thanks, but I think I just got accidentally spoilered about that one on Tvtropes when I was looking for some non-pink mahou shoujo titles -.-. I'll keep it in mind though. The 1-cour ones I found are more likely to end up being watched by me though :>. |

| :( fine whatever |
|
| Is the current list of challenges the finalized version, or are you still tweaking it Zerg-chan? |
  |
silverwalls said: :( fine whatever It's okay :(  |
|
silverwalls said: :( fine whatever its ok bb ill watch sailor moon regardless or not if it counts in the challenge :3 |
cupc said: It's okay :( mayukachan said: its ok bb ill watch sailor moon regardless or not if it counts in the challenge :3 thanks my lovelies <3 btw Watch an anime where the director (or anyone else important on the staff) has only worked on that one anime does anyone have some good examples for this? :o |
|
| Why not, doubt I'll try too hard to complete it but I'll fill it as I go, might give me some incentive to watch some shows I have been meaning to watch too, will stay off this thread too, like the idea of finding them myself. Should have something like "finish an anime you dropped", ""rewatch something", "rewatch all your favorites", "watch an anime raw", "watch something with 3+ seasons", "watch a 2h+ movie", "watch a 100 episodes series", stuff like that. "Roll a dice and watch that amount of shorts films/whatever in a row", give me random stuff. |

| I'm down. I'll try to knock out as many as i can. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Is there gonna be a point where you aren't going to add any more challenges on the list? Like, if you wanted to add a challenge 3 months from now, would you? |

For instance, the music videos, they don't have voice acting. -Welcome to the space show!, Spirited away... -Chi's sweet home ftw. -Cowboy Bebop -If you mean as a director, you can't go wrong with Yoshifumi Kondo. -You can't go wrong with Yoshifumi Kondo 2.0 -I don't want to cheat, but I watched a short about the Olympic Games... -I think Anne of Green Gables is considered to have some literary merit. -Already done that with Yoshifumi Kondo (lol) -Done. -This one will be interesting. -Like Akira? -Time to watch this goddamn LOGH. -Sora no woto because yes. -Mushishi -Lol, that's too easy for somebody who doesn't put voice actors in their favorites list.

| Perhaps I'll take this as motivation to watch Cardcaptors. Where's Silverwalls, I need her to motivate me more. |
| ➤Watch an anime starring non-human (or humanoid) characters Does Mars of Destruction count? Cause like, they came from Mars and invaded Earth or something, so they are Martians? idk I had a hard time typing that because I'm laughing so hard. It's just so stupid... |
| Guys, humanoid just means "shaped like a human". So if the story focuses on characters that are shaped like humans, whether or not they actually are human, it doesn't count. |
| I'll try, I guess. I'm nearing my summer vacation anyway. Zergneedsfood said: ➤Watch Sazae-san Better yet, catch up to Sazae-san. Also, will rewatches count? |
 |
| I've got an idea for a challenge, idk if it's any good or not. Watch a battle shounen (if it makes it better, you can put an episode cap on it) with a main lead that doesn't have spiky hair. |
| ➤Watch an anime where the opening/ending does not feature a song sung in Japanese Well, that gives me the incentive to start up Jojo's. Time to get started on this. Zergneedsfood said: Okay fine. No rewatches then unless specified. @_@ @furdlemygurdle: That's a great idea. Done. Glad you liked it :) |
Zergneedsfood said: Okay fine. No rewatches then unless specified. @_@ Dammet. Already planned some animu to rewatch. Oh well XD ➤Watch a magical girl show where the cover art distinctly does not feature the color pink How boutz a Mecha show where the cover art distinctly does not feature the color blue? I don't remember one, and I searched some gundamu and Macross and they have the color blue in their cover. |
|
Only a few, so I'll try the challenge anyway. |

Paulo27 said: fst said: Don't you dare watch the dub.Perhaps I'll take this as motivation to watch Cardcaptors. Where's Silverwalls, I need her to motivate me more. +1 also it has pink on the cover pic, so you can't choose that for the mahou shoujo challenge. |

| ➤Watch an anime that is relevant to your major/career/studies This gives me the incentive to watch shirobako (although I do 3d animation and I think shirobako features 2d animation) so I think I will watch that next unless somebody here knows about an anime about programming/software development. If you guys know of an anime about programming please recommend them to me. |

|
| ➤Watch an anime that doesn't star any voice actors you like/have favorited Isn't this kinda pointless when you have a challenge for no VAs? Should I hate myself for listening to these voices or does just being neutral work? Either way, I watched Spirits of the Past and I'd love to strangle just about every VA that worked on it so I guess that counts. |
|
mayukachan said: Doesn't really need have an anime in it, should use something from this year though, maybe Durarara.does anyone want a banner for this? i'll make it, rlly i just can't think of an anime everyone here likes enough to use as the base image.. |
|
| I don't even watch weeb toons anymore and I already did one of these with 80s non Tomino mecha woo I'm special also I told znf to add Oshii to the movie directors list so pretentious hipsters like Kokko don't game the system easily. |

Or, if you want to troll, use a picture of CCA with Quess and Char. Actually, just Quess. also: ➤Watch a pre-1990s mecha anime that was made by someone not named Tomino ➤Watch an anime that is relevant to your major/career/studies I can totally do both of these with one show. |
| Does what I've already watched in 2015 count for this list? |

Zergneedsfood said: fst said: I don't care.➤Watch a pre-1990s mecha anime that was made by someone not named Tomino ➤Watch an anime that is relevant to your major/career/studies I can totally do both of these with one show. CARE DAMNIT IM GETTING MY IRON RING THIS WEEKEND |
Zergneedsfood said: fst said: Good job I"m proud of you. :3CARE DAMNIT IM GETTING MY IRON RING THIS WEEKEND I'm pretty sure you don't actually know what that is, but ima accept your dere-ness anyways. |
Zergneedsfood said: Oh. I was wrong. lulz The Iron Ring is a ring worn by many Canadian-trained engineers, as a symbol and reminder of the obligations and ethics associated with their profession. From a concept originated in 1922,[1] the ring is presented to graduates in a closed ceremony known as The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer,[2][3] developed with the assistance of English poet Rudyard Kipling.[2] Congratulations. I'm proud of you.The ring symbolizes the pride which engineers have in their profession, while simultaneously reminding them of their humility. The ring serves as a reminder to the engineer and others of the engineer’s obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct. It is not a symbol of qualification as an engineer – this is determined by the provincial and territorial licensing bodies.[4] ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ thanks With this, I can then move on to the next step: construct my own Gandamu, found anaheim electronics and take over the world. |
| List of Challenges: I have some questions about a few ➤Watch a sports anime where the sport in question has a real life Japanese athlete that has actually accomplished something notable internationally within the last five years Does anyone know one? I have no idea how to look. ➤Watch an anime adaptation of a work of literary merit what is that? ➤Watch an anime movie that has been submitted for an Oscar Are there any other than those 4 from ghibli? ➤Watch Sazae-san Where? I've tried in the past, but I can't find most of the episodes |

hentai_eucli said: ➤Watch a sports anime where the sport in question has a real life Japanese athlete that has actually accomplished something notable internationally within the last five years Does anyone know one? I have no idea how to look. Zerg said tennis And I know skating counts too 'cus Hanyu :> Tennis: Prince of Tennis, Baby Steps Skating: Ginban Kaleidoscope, Pretty Cure (I forgot which) |
| Boxing, Baseball and Tennis have been established as legitimate for the sports one so far. Watch something like Aoi Bungaku for the literary adaption one. Good question. I've wondered about that as well, but then just decided to watch The Wind Rises and not nitpick about that challenge since I already nitpicked about a bunch of others ^^. The Sazae-san one wasn't serious. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Would Hyouka count for literature? As I understand at least, it's not an LN. |
