I like the idea of this challenge, it will be my first try :P one year to do it, it should be easy!

But I'm dissapointed about this one:
 » Watch an anime by a director/composer/studio you don't know
How could I find a composer or a director that I don't know ? (I know every studio if I trust graph.anime)

Just do it from a studio you're not very aware of or use a director or a composer.

Okay to the studio, I guess... but you're not really helping with the composer and director x)

Chrono Crusade. It's not a movie and I'm not sure if it's on Crunchyroll since I don't use it but it's the first thing I thought of and I thought I'd just put it on here...

You only need to satisfy one of the three. Also, for director or composer, go for a someone who doesn't have a lot of stuff under his belt.

Watch an anime that has been adapted to live action


Does the live action need to have been aired AFTER the anime ? Or does the release order do not matter ?
I'm thinking about the anime movie Hana to Alice: Satsujin Jiken which is a prequel released last year of the live action movie Hana to Alice released in 2004.

I have a question.. Not sure if this was answered yet but.. Would some OVA's count for the criteria? For example FLCL for the original anime one and Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder for the one for the manga 8.0 and higher?
Maybe the Kuroshitsuji isn't as important, I'm more curious about FLCL.

I have little issue with - "For each item select an anime that fits its criteria. Each anime can be used once within the challenge."

I mainly watch ongoing anime and have no idea what anime will come out next seasons since Im choosing what anime Im going to watch like week or two before start of season itself and of course, we dont know all anime that will come in fall season etc.

What should I do then? Can I fill my form with season anime four times a year or smth like that?


You asked that question before and it got answered before... You can edit/fill in your list at any time and as often as you like.


Oh, I send it? It didnt show in my forum post list, so I though I fcked up somehow.

Zegapain is pretty interesting and underrated imho. Schwarzesmarken from this season seems promising after ep1.

If nothing helps, there is always Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, which isn't a mecha but has a mecha tag. It also has stealth suits so it might fit what you are actually looking for.^^

There are plenty of people who try to complete the challenge without using any TV series (aside from the cour challenge of course). I'm using quite a few non-TV anime for the challenge.

The Usagi Drop manga was adapted into an anime and later into a film. The anime was not adapted into live action but rather its source was. For obvious reasons we should be able to assume that it is not required to be an original anime for it to count so the adaption which came first shouldn't matter. That being said, Hana to Alice: Satsujin Jiken is an anime which was adaption from live action and that is the reason why it shouldn't count.

For the recommendation I think you'd like C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control

Go through the challenge sign-up thread and find anime other people have already completed for the challenge that you'd like to watch.

http://myanimelist.net/about.php?go=team Here's the staff page (the challenge even provides it for you). Look through the users favourite anime listed on their profiles until you find one that you want to watch.

http://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php Here's the highest rated manga. Look through them and find one that looks good and has an anime adaption and then watch said anime.

http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=64163 Here's a club that deals with anime that don't have many members. The number of completed members is stated in the "stats" section. Nijiiro☆Prism Girl is one that I personally like and only has around 600 completed members, but even an anime like Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu which is ranked #9 on MAL would fit for the medium challenge.

I remember that pissing me off so much last year. I had my challenge list fixed to my sig, but since it kept changing the link would be attached to someone else's challenge list. Thankfully I got in early this year so the user radiation hasn't affected me much at all yet. I'm pretty sure my post has stayed at #70 for the entire time so far. I suppose that the more posts that were done before you the more likely your post will be moved up.

Hi, I have a quick question. Not sure if it's been asked though. If a series has 1 or 2 sequal seasons can it still count? For instance I'm currently watching Junjo Romantica 3 and I was thinking of using it for "Shounen Ai" but I wasn't sure if it was possible. If anyone has any suggestions that would be good too. I've already watched Love Stage so that's out.
Also for "Watch an anime adapted from a novel, light novel or video game" I was thinking of using Log Horizon's second season but wasn't sure on that either. Could use some suggestions here too. I'm not that good with this topic. SAO and Toradora have already been watched so they're out.

From my understanding, you can use a series you have already started as long as you started watching the series after Jan. 1, 2016. Shouldn't matter if it's a sequel or not. The only thing sequenced series do not count for are the challenges asking for multiple cours; these must be a single running title.

As for the "Watch an anime adapted from a novel, light novel or video game" ... Log Horizon: Second Season should be fine.

Try Noragami.


To help expand on that a bit as well; a 'cour' is generally 12-13 episodes which run in a three month period as katsaroulhs mentioned. So a 2 cour series would be 24-26 episodes, 3 cour series would be 36-39 episodes, and so forth. A cour generally runs under a single title as well (number sequencing normally does not fall into the multiple cour category).

For the challenge, depending on the difficulty you chose would determine how many cours you would need to watch.
