| Gankutsuou would also count for literary, right? |
| Wouldn't The Tatami Galaxy also count? |
| I'll just watch Sword Art Online. That's an adaptation of a series of books with literary merit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| well, this is my list so far: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=767996 only still lacking an anime for the directors challenge. |

silverwalls said: well, this is my list so far: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=767996 only still lacking an anime for the directors challenge. Ganbatte ne! I'll cheer you from afar, I'm too lazy to participate |
 |
| For baseball just go with the fact Koji Uehara (a Japanese pitcher obv) was a big contributor to the Red Sox World Series win in 2013. Done and done. |
  |
Does Kill la Kill count as a magical girl anime? And if it is, can you see any pink in the cover art? |
| It's not lol. |
| it isn't |
|
| Its not but isn't the Mom's top pink anyways? |
| ah shit |
➤Watch a full filmography of a favorite director (independent or otherwise) Does this mean only movies? Or does it include series too? Also what do you mean independent or otherwise? Sorry I'm dumb :( And lastly, can we get a voice actor challenge? like watch all of the entries were they have participated as main characters or something? |
 |
| VA challenge: Watch a show where your favourite VA appears once as a minor character. |
Ckan said: VA challenge: Watch a show where your favourite VA appears once as a minor character. How would you know if they only appear once though? Or is that the challenge? Finding the one where they only appear once? Zergneedsfood said: Higashi, can you explain independent director? I only put it up because you suggested it. If you want to choose a favorite director and watch all the series they've made, I think that's a suitable challenge to be honest. It's arguably even harder than a full filmography depending on the director. And yes, I'll add the challenge you specified. Thanks, I'll wait for higashi's explanation too. Also, hold on to the challenge since someone (Like ckan) may have a better idea |
| |
| Independent director just means that they're not working 'outside of the industry' and make their shorts basically on their own, participate in film festivals etc... Someone like Kuri Yoji, Wada Atsushi, Ryu Kato, Tanaami Keiichi or Kawamoto Kihachiro. Another way to say it would be hipster shit. I do agree that it's better to include director in general in that challenge though. And I'd also say it doesn't matter if you choose someone who directed TV Series or only movies/shorts. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Finding the one where they only appear once? Animenewsnetwork has info on that. Well, you guys could just ask and I can probably answer it :P |
| Can we have this: Watch 10 shows which are below the top 1000 on MAL and give them at least a 4/5? aka, the hipster challenge? |

Some people don't rate with high scores though :/ And other people like me, rate easily with high scores, so I may have already completed that It should be something that doesn't include how people score it imo. We should get a bottom 100-related challenge too Higashi_no_Kaze said: Independent director just means that they're not working 'outside of the industry' and make their shorts basically on their own, participate in film festivals etc...

I think it originated sometime earlier in the Uber Elitist club. |

| Maybe I should do this challange too. A whole year seems like a large enough amount of time. Edit: what the hell, I'm doing it. I'll start of with 2nd GiG as my cyberpunk anime challenge. |

| >Watch an anime where the director (or anyone else important on the staff) has only worked on that one anime I know this is cheating a little bit, but does it still count if the director has worked on other anime as a key animator, but has only been a director for one anime? |
| Wow, Mayuka putting in the real work. hentai_eucli said: Yeah, I dunno either - didn't actually think it through.

| haha okay :') ty okay i should get started on the challenge too :V |
| 7/25 challenges completed already, wowzers. |
| Okay, so I've decided to spice it up a little because I realised I'm almost halfway done, and the rest wouldn't take me that much time to watch. http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=768136 Feel free to join me brave souls. What is a challenge worth if it isn't hard to accomplish? |

What is a challenge worth if it isn't hard to accomplish? I'll probably oblige to those rules, except maybe the length one. Being the filthy casual/fucking pleb that I am, I just don't have time for that, cuz then I'll have to watch 700+ episodes of Detective Conan and 600+ episodes of One Piece, etc. Also, I think adding a challenge like "anime airing this year do not count" might not be a bad idea, since I bet many people are probably gonna knock out a few just by watching their 15+ shows per season with no real effort. For example, Aldnoah.Zero second season wouldn't count for the space opera challenge (which is a silly example because you could just watch the first season anyways if you haven't watched it already, but it gets the point across). |

| So after thinking a lot about it, I decided I'm gonna try it out, here's a list of the anime I picked to watch for the challenge: Edit: titles added |
SuperRedMar 9, 2015 9:10 PM
| I'm surprised Totoro has no slice-of-life tag, I'd definitely say it belongs in that category. And the characters in Uchouten Kazoku are definitely humanoid since they can take human shape and do it all the time. Also the Flanders no Inu Movie is not really part of the WMT Series, only TV Series are as far as I know. Just my 2 cents though :>. |

| Guess I'll pick Medaka Box for the least recognized work challenge. |

Not if you dislike shounen tropes. Teekyuu if you want to cheat. ➤Watch a debut work of an anime studio/director Disclaimer - I haven't seen most of these. Gainax - Daicon III / IV (pre-studio) or Wings of Honneamise (film) or Nadia (TV) Bones- Hiwou War Chronicles PA Works - True Tears Bee Train - Popolocrois Monogatari (TV) or Noir (1st original work) Production I.G. - Patlabor Early Days (I think) Kyoani - Shiawasette Naani (OVA - not sure on this) or Munto (OVA), or Full Metal Panic Fumoffu (first mained TV production). Wit Studio - Attack on Titan (assisted by IG), or Hal (original film) A-1 Pictures - Ookiku Furikabutte (not really, but it's their first non-kids show and the firstavailable subbed). ➤Pick a (favorite) writer, director, animator, studio etc. and watch their least recognized work Well, who/what are your favourites? |
Ckan said: ➤Pick a (favorite) writer, director, animator, studio etc. and watch their least recognized work Well, who/what are your favourites? Akira Toriyama, Nisio Isin, Narita Ryohgo, Type Moon, Miyazaki, Mamoro Hosoda, Imaishi, Naoki Urasawa, Watanabe Shinichiro, Arakawa Hiromu, Yuasa. Thanks for the list. |

| MAPPA's debut work was Sakamichi no Apollon right? |
|
robis798 said: MAPPA's debut work was Sakamichi no Apollon right? Yup. Another good one for that category is Samurai Champloo, which is the first work by Studio Manglobe. As for me, I've already watched Champloo, so I'll go with True Tears, the first work by P.A. Works. I'm glad I can work a romance anime into this challenge :3 |
| too bad true tears is bad. |

Sorry~ Alright, I'll go with this one http://myanimelist.net/anime/1695/Les_Mis%C3%A9rables:_Shoujo_Cosette instead, thanks for the clarification. Does Totoro count for the non sol with child protagonist challenge? |
| I don't get this: ➤Watch a full filmography of a favorite director (independent or otherwise) Can someone explain. Also, I would like confirmation on my list so far: |
| What's not to get about the filmography one? It just means watching all the works they directed. And I'm pretty sure there are tons of Shaft shows less popular/well-known than Dance in the Vampire Bund even if you don't count the early 00's collaborations with Gainax and other studios. Hidamari Sketch, Pani POni Dash, Natsu no Arashi, SoreMachi, Negima, Maria Holic, Ssasami-san. To name a few. |
