| Does ova count for an anime? |

| If someone else had wanted to make a public, non-club, anime challenge then we would have gone with that one instead of creating one ourselves. Sadly, no one did. At the end of this version, we'll probably try to collect ideas for criteria for next year. You always help contribute then, if you'd like. ichii_1 said: Does ova count for an anime? Sign said: ^ I think answers your question.Each DB entry can only be used once. This does mean that you can use split-cours series, multiple seasons, and OVA/specials of franchises to fill up your criteria if need be. Still, do try to complete your list without "double dipping", as that's much more of a challenge~ |

| For the sake of fairness could you make it so that a staff member can't use their own favourites for "Watch a staff member's favorite anime" |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Holy shit this is going to be fun! |
| Any staff members who participate won't use their own favourites list to try and complete that item. That'd be really silly of them. I don't think we need to write that into the text though, since it doesn't apply to most participants, right? |

| @Kineta Shirokuma cafe better not be a disappointment |
|
| Can we ask for anime suggestions in this thread to help complete our lists? |
| Got 7 shows this time- the most I've ever started watching in a season before. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |

I was just going to start from scratch and add them as I go and not give them a tag so I could tell them apart but for people like you who have different rating systems that's probably a good idea. |

JOAOAA said: That's a lot of pressure! It's a slice of life, comedy, friendship series that relies a lot on boke/tsukkomi-type humour.

Syndiciate said: I was just going to start from scratch and add them as I go and not give them a tag so I could tell them apart but for people like you who have different rating systems that's probably a good idea.

[I have the attention span of a squirrel.] You have to keep it. :P How long are you ok with the cour being? Nice try :P it said i can but my bad, I didn't read the tip below it. I'm okay with anime up to 13-20 eps. I'm okay with any genre. |
Ranoom said: sigh... for the tv troupe challenge i got porn names. Nice. Re rolling that or do i have to keep it? any recommendations with one cour? [I have the attention span of a squirrel.] Dance in the Vampire Bund was one cour. If you find yourself not enjoying it well... It's short. |
| Isn't the point of these things to strongarm people into watching shows they wouldn't necessarily watch otherwise? I don't agree with that.

| thanks! |
| Some questions: 1. Can I use anime I started watching in 2014 but haven't finished yet? 2. Loxaris said: Ongoing anime can only be used if the series is still airing after Dec 31 or the series is longer than two-cours. In this case, you must be fully up-to-date with all of the aired/subbed episodes when you turn in your challenge. What does this mean? If an anime isn't still airing after Dec 31, it's not ongoing, is it? Or does this mean I can't use any anime that airs in 2015? 3. » Watch an anime that someone on your friends' list rated a 10 What happens if they change their rating? |

Thanks though. Our compatability is kinda low and judging from your favorites and dropped list I might not be in a position to recommend you something you'll like, but I'll try. Since you seem to somewhat enjoy sports anime I'd say Major since it's my favorite sports anime ever (aside from maybe Ashita no Joe). It's really good. |

| @Tacas: 1. Can I use anime I started watching in 2014 but haven't finished yet? Nope. It wouldn't be a 2015 challenge if you could include stuff you watched in 2014 :P You'd have to restart from ep 1. 2. Loxaris said: What does this mean? If an anime isn't still airing after Dec 31, it's not ongoing, is it? Or does this mean I can't use any anime that airs in 2015?Ongoing anime can only be used if the series is still airing after Dec 31 or the series is longer than two-cours. In this case, you must be fully up-to-date with all of the aired/subbed episodes when you turn in your challenge. All anime you add to your challenge list must be completed, except for: a. Series which are more than two-cours (24+ episodes) in length. For example, let's say you decided to pick up Fairy Tail (2014). It's more than 24+ and still airing, so if you caught up to all released episodes, then you could count this as completed when you turn in your list. b. Series which are not longer than two-cours but air beyond the Dec 31 challenge deadline. So say you pick up a Fall 2015 series for your challenge list that is two-cours long. This series won't end until after Dec 31. As long as you are up-to-date with the episodes, you can mark it as completed in Dec. ... I hope this is clearer now ... 3. » Watch an anime that someone on your friends' list rated a 10 What happens if they change their rating?That's okay, you don't need to watch a new anime if they change it. Can just make a note (and give them a chop for it). |

| Thank you for the clarification! Now I need a recommendation. I like time travel, preferably something with little to no fantasy which is set in our universe. If you think there is an anime I absolutely need to watch because it perfectly fits to my tastes, that's fine too of course! |
| Not sure if I'll be able to finish this challenge as I've never even come close to watching 20 anime in 1 year, but since I've actually already watched more anime this year than I've ever done before (been able to fill out 6 entries already) I'll be shooting for the easy challenge. ApplePhi said: Guess I'll kick off my challenge with ' Watch an anime with a character voiced by one of your favorite seiyuu' Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke- Bc Suwabe Junichi That's a good one.

Assuming you haven't updated your list entry since, if you click the more button to the right of the name of the anime/manga, the last updated date will be the date of completion. Not a perfect way to find out, but assuming you have an idea of what you've watched it's a quick way to confirm it. Thanks |
