I was searching through your PTW list and didn't see them, so I mentioned them xD. I have so many on my list I don't bother adding them on PTW anymore :P Brand said: Shuichi2 said: Watch an anime with less than 10k completed members My suggestion would be: Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact! Thank you :) |

Yeah, that is the one and only Mahou Shoujo anime I will try probably. Few mates recommended it to me, so I will do that, especially when Mahou Shoujo counts as a genre :) I'm looking for other ones though, but thank you anyway :) |

Kuromii said: Nanaca said: Could someone help me with the "recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant" one? Up to one cour preferably.

As for the ones from me: Seikai no Monshou Uchouten Kazoku |

Thanks a bunch :) I'll try both of them. |

| For this section: Watch an anime by the same director/composer/studio as one of your favorites anime For the same director, do I choose the anime the director worked on as a director or any position in an anime he has been involved with? ^^^ Can someone help me with this? I never got an answer. |

  |
| Can anyone help me with these? :) • Watch an anime that has a main character that is a professional in his field • Watch an anime with a main character that is not Japanese • Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant |
JustArsan said: Can someone recommend me something for the "Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant" Challenge? Anything would be fine really, though please try to keep it under 3 cours. Preferably 1 cour. I really dislike the Sports Genre, so maybe take that into consideration, thanks :) Cuticle Tantei Inaba I found it hilarious. |

| Signed up for hard again. Not sure if I will be able to complete it. I expect myself to watch much less anime than I watch in 2015. Anyways, I hate the Seiyuu challenge because I have none. Time to look up some I liked again... delija9091 said: Anyone a recommendation for some good 80's anime? Can be based on my anime list, but I am generally open for everything as long as it is around two cours long. It would probably also make sense to stick this thread at the top of the section like the sign-up thread. Seems like you didn't get an answer so here are my recs: - Legend of the Galactic Heroes (long series) - Castle in the Sky (Movie) - Area 88 (short'ish OVA series; this one is rather mediocre imho but still worth watching for the experience imho. Also can be used for less than 10k members challenge like I did last year.) Tyrel said: » Watch an anime with a target demographic that does not apply to you: i.e. shounen if you're a female in her 20s Need some recs as a male in his 20s xD~ (Hard to find when I've watched so much so I can't think of any) Try Sakamichi no Apollon. It's Josei, so for women in your age. |

As I said, everything except of Shounen Ai and Mahou Shoujo would be appreciated :) |

| Any sugestions? » Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant And some "unknown" for this one » Watch an anime by a director/composer/studio you don't know |
| Forgot I had a question as well. For the 3 cour challenge: Are split cours allowed? So e.g. Durarara S2 aired as 3 split cours. If I watch all three do they count here? |
|
| Ping Pong The animation for the first. No one can really help you on the second. We don't know what you don't know. Maybe try the Berserk movies if you don't know the works of the director or composer. |
Raey_H said: I would say no. Only for the rewatch part.Can we re watch anime to add to our list?? |
|
| I think it is allowed but not couraged. |
 |
Raey_H said: Can we re watch anime to add to our list?? I re watched Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl) this yr and I re watch Omamori Himari and Special A to celebrate another yr of anime. Only if you rewatch all the episodes in 2016, if you are currently rewatching it, but have already started last year, then no. However, I would like to encourage you to rather watch new anime, since this is the purpose of this challenge. |
| |
| Does a mention of Anime in the list include movies? Or is that restricted to questions which explicitly say movies in the question? (For example, the anime with less then 10k completed, can I watch a movie that has less then 10k completed on its entry instead?) Oh and any sugestions for the "anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant" for me? Appreciated B) |

If we are going by the same rules as last year, no. You have to watch an anime with and and and episode count of (around) 39 in a single DB entry. Since Durarara! is split up entries they do not count. |

Well, too bad, but I thought so, too. Then I will have to watch some Shounen Ai for the disliked genre challenge :/ ^^ Tbh I don't see anything wrong about going with mahou shoujo... After all MAL has some ridiculous 'genres' like demons or vampires xD And it doesn't says specifically you have to follow MAL tags, there is plenty of sites which acknowledge magical girls as a proper (sub)genre. Or you can just use it as 'magic', which is usually used for mahou shoujo shows (though not only, of course). Ofc I might be wrong, but that's how I see it at least :D |

| If anybody was looking into doing the Korean/Chinese anime bonus challenge I have two Korean recommendations from what I had personally watched. Coffee Samurai Silly and cute, only 30 minutes long. Fair warning though, it has bad sound quality at times. Yobi, The Five-Tailed Fox Charming, kid-friendly film that focuses on friendship. |
 Eat your hamburgers, Apollo. |
Could someone recommend me

Dadarklord1109 said: Could someone recommend me
What I've Completed For the first one, I could recommend the Kirby anime just because, but that's long at 100 episodes so I'm just going to recommend Wolf's Rain(the characters transform into humans but they are really wolves.) |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |

I think we can set our own rules and if you consider Magical Girl as a justified genre, then there's no problem :) No one's gonna watch your list and say "hey ! You don't deserve to own that "completed challenge" badge !" :P Of course, if you don't think it's an appropriate genre, then don't lie to yourself ! |

| i need a recommendation.

Acropyre said: i need a recommendation. My head hurts trying to figure out a lot of what I want to watch Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant Amagi Brilliant Park, Trinity Seven, Acchi Kocchi, Campione! and Hamatora the Animation. That should hopefully be a wide enough range of genres that you find one you like in there! Watch an anime with a main cast mainly of one gender Yuru Yuri, Is The Order a Rabbit?, Kinmoza, K-On!, Non Non Biyori; pretty much any slice of life. Strike Witches if you're looking for action and don't mind fanservice. Watch an anime with children as the main cast See above, they fit both criteria. Watch an anime with a main character that is not Japanese I've heard people say many good things about Baccano! Choose a random trope from TVTropes and watch an anime listed under the trope See the trope button at the top of the page? Click that as many times as you want until you find an anime that sounds interesting, and you're good to go. |

| I will use Kinmoza s2, and Amagi Brilliant Park I still need: Watch an anime with adults as the main cast Watch an anime with a main character that is not Japanese |

| Hi, I've got a question about the 2016 anime watching challenge. You said ongoing shows cannot be used unless they are still airing after Dec 31st or if they are longer than two cours. Do you mean December 31st of 2016 or 2015? Thanks~ |
M00ner said: So I watch an anime in which the director, from one of my favorite anime, is directing another series? Yup, last year I think it was worded more open ended, but this year it seems to be the position. Tendon_Unajuu said: Hi, I've got a question about the 2016 anime watching challenge.

Thanks~ I think that meant shows that you are already watching. So Fall season carryover Which I think is cheating either way. but that seems to be what it means. |
| thanx. one more question. do 2016 winter shows (ones that are freshly airing this season) count?? |
