I didn't understand very well all the stuff related with seasonal anime. Can I use anime that started airing in 2016 or not?

If it started airing in 2016 and it's one cour (12/13 episodes) then it's fair game, but you have to complete it before handing in your form. If starts airing in 2016 season and it carries on into 2017 then you may use it as long as you're caught up with what has aired so far when you hand in your form. If it's longer than 2 cours (ie. 30+ episodes) and finishes airing in 2016 then you may use it as long as you are caught up. The main reason for these rules is so people can't just add a bunch of seasonals and say they've completed the challenge when they've barely watched anything.

There actually is a challenge for "watch an anime that started airing when the person above or below you started MAL" as well as "when you started MAL" so some people will be forced to watch anime from 2016.

Thank you, I was confused because of the cours. I didn't understand when I could add and anime and when not.

Could swear I saw Mikado from Durarara! on that Natsuyuki Rendezvous Poster =x (Rokka Shimao )

Ty for the suggestion!! Will watch Kuragehime for the challenge (forgot to put on my list before, really glad you mentioned that. Had forgotten about it )

Will try checking the others too when possible :)

Poor Mikado, being mistaken for a woman xD But I can't blame you, she really reminds me of him too at that poster.
You're welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy Kuragehime, it's a great anime. I'm reading the manga currently and I really enjoy it. Good luck with the challenge ^_^

On topic, can someone recommend me something interesting for:

@SheyCroix (or I guess anyone really) - I might be over thinking it but just want clarity. For the challenge Watch an anime by a director/composer/studio you don't know, does it count if you've watched anime by them before but didn't know their names prior to the challenge? Or does it have to be something you have 0 experience with? For example, when I first saw Death Note I didn't even know what Madhouse studio was. Assuming I'd never heard of them up until this challenge, would I be able to use them?

As far as the challenge is concerned, in order to have not heard of someone, you just have to not have seen any of the work by them. Even if you've heard of other work they've done, it's cool as long as you haven't seen anything they have done before.

I was planning on watching Kemono no Souja Erin for that category but then I found out that later on

Would that still count?

That would make it a bit dubious, so it would be better if you can change it to another one (please)

Does Hikaru no Go count as 2 or more cours? It's one entry in the DB with 75 episodes. I never really understood the cours thing and there's no explanation in the sign up thread about it.

There's a numeral explanation in the first post of this thread. 75 episodes would count as six cour. Any standard 26 episode anime would count for the medium challenge.

If you still need one, then one of these random anime might work (you should double-check though since I haven't watched some of these and many I watched so long ago that I don't quite remember):

"Ginga e Kickoff" (late elementary school)
"Tantei Team KZ: Jiken Note" (late elementary then early middle school, so maybe?)
Beyblade (the original one at least...I think?)
Kaidan Resturant (I think)
Inazuma Eleven (probably)
Element Hunters (it's even in the premise that they are under 13)
Shugo Chara (pretty sure they were late elementary)
Zettai Karen Children (I think might work, not the spin-off btw)
Whistle
Gundam Build Fighters (maybe?)

If you want something else, you can always dig through some shows aimed at a young demographic.
Or you can try genres that tend to have young characters (i.e. you can dig through some magical girl and girly/kiddy idol anime, or certain sports series, or toy adverts)
Or you can always look at the seasonal charts and find a kid show and see if that has a cast of kids. You can also find one kids show, and look in the recommendation section on myanimelist, and just keep clicking on something in the recommendation section of different kids shows until you find one; I don't know how well this method will work though.
Tell me if you get really really stumped and I'll help if I can. =)

Also, even if the age is never given, if the characters are shown going to school, you can at least tell if they are in elementary school or not by what they wear and by what their bags look like... or you can just google their ages.=P

oh, and just a friendly reminder, the item says "children as the main cast" so make sure you find a show that has a main cast that are all kids (not just one) if you are looking at a show with a main group of characters (as opposed to only one main character). I nearly forgot myself. haha

I actually wrote something explaining exactly how cours work in Japan, but the challenge just uses episode count for it anyway. At one point my paragraph was included in the FAQ.

Cour refers to the airing period and is only applicable to TV series. One cour is one anime airing season which is three months. It would not be surprising to not understand it as Black Rock Shooter with 8 episodes and The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato with 16 episodes would both be considered one cour by most people even though one is twice as long as the other. In the past anime would take long rest periods without breaking the anime into separate seasons so although The Big O took 14 cour to air it was only actually airing for two of those and should be looked at as a 2 cour anime. Katanagatari is only 12 episodes, each being 50 minutes long, but it only released one episode every month so it is a 4 cour anime. Chi's Sweet Home is 104 episodes long, each being 3 minutes long, and four episodes were released every week so it aired over six months making it a 2 cour anime. Princess Tutu had 13 episodes which were 24 minutes and 25 episodes which were 12 minutes. It aired over four seasons making it a 4 cour anime despite being the same length as a 2 cour anime. Anime with short episodes such as Teekyuu are still the same amount of cour that they took to air. Kekkai Sensen was intended to be a one cour anime but the final episode was delayed well into the following season. Although it took two seasons to air it is still a one cour anime. Kiss x Sis (OVA), Flag (ONA), and Magic Kaito (Special) all have 24 minute episodes and have 12/13 episodes like one cour anime do, but since they are not TV type anime and do not have regular airing schedules they are not considered to have "cours". Magic Kaito was aired on TV, but it was aired as a special series it was not aired one episode per week. Anime that are split into separate seasons are treated as more than one anime. For example, Kirarin☆Revolution is a single anime that is 153 episodes which makes it 12 cour. Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream and its sequels Dear My Future and Rainbow Live are 51 episodes each adding up to 153 episodes but they are three separate 4 cour anime.

ummmm......that's not why he can use it. It focuses on the relationships of the teammates(and those relationships are not romantic ones), that's why he can use it. That challenge doesn't just mean "watch something that isn't romance"

@-Eien- Yes, you can use it.

To clarify things, "Watch a highly rated and completed anime from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on", is meant for anime on the user's list in general, not just the ones they've finished for the challenge?

Okay, I'm confused. For a category "Watch a staff member's favorite anime", I watched Yuru Yuri season 3, which this staff member had listed in his favourites. And then suddenly he changes all of his favourites before my challenge was finished. I didn't even think of such possibility, and I didn't make a screenshot of his previous favourites. What am I supposed to do in this situation? Is the show I watched ineligible for the challenge now?

All of his current favourites are from this season. He isn't even watching any of those anime so I'm not entirely sure what he's doing. As long as you watched the anime while it was still in his favourites list it counts. For challenges such as "watch an anime with less 10k completed members" when the anime a participant is using is on the border of not passing they may choose to add extra information about why it was acceptable when they watched it. This wasn't a predictable situation so I think you should still be able to use it even if you didn't note when it was in their favourites.

Ah THANK YOU lot! Those were some really useful tips you gave me. I'll be sure to keep them in mind whenever something like this comes up again.

As for the anime you mentioned I checked all of them and Tantei Team KZ: Jiken Note, Kaidan Resturant and Element Hunters should defiantly work. All of the main characters there are in elementary school and/or at most 12 years old. Beyblade, Inazuma Eleven, Whistle and Gundam Build Fighters might work, even if only barely cause they all have characters that are 14 years old. Inazuma Eleven even has all of the three mains listed as 14 years old, so I think it might be best to choose something else. Sadly Ginga e Kickoff, Shugo Chara and Zettai Karen Children don't work since they all have at least one character in their main cast that's definitely over the age limit.

Having said this there is also a lot of old shoujo and or some classic (children's?) book adaptations to choose from, which was my original plan if Kemono no Souja Erin shouldn't work out but then I thought it over and finally settled for Hanada shounen-shi.

In general, but remember that it should be something on their completed anime list (rated either 10, 9 or 8).

I just confirmed with that user and it's true that he had that anime as his favorite but recently changed it. Since we got some sort of "evidence" in this case I will let you keep it. So in that specific item but a note linking to this post (since there's a high chance I might forget and ask you to change it later).

@SheyCroix

Now I checked another user-dependent category "Watch a highly rated and completed anime from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on", where I used Tamako Market movie, which was rated 10 by this user. But since the last time I looked at his list, he has removed scores from the majority of his completes, including the anime I used.

Could you confirm this case as well? I apologize for bothering you with these things.

Yeah, I think there are older stuff and book adaptations that would work, which is why I said that anime aimed at a younger demographic would probably work (anime like Kemono no Souja have children's books as source materials and those are usually aimed at children). I just haven't really seen much old stuff so I can't think of any specific titles that qualifies off the top of my head. =/
Of course, not all kid's shows would work. For example, hero/superpower shows might be hit or miss since while some might aim at kids by having kid characters which empowers kids, other hero shows aim to have a heroic role model that kids can admire as a protagonist (or just a fun/cool character that's fun to watch). It's kind of interesting now that I think about it.

Though darn, I though some of those were fine (esp. Ginga e Kickoff, but then again, I guess the bigger the main cast, the more likely that there's that one guy that just doesn't qualify for this). Oh well. =)

Alright friends, I've finally hit the point in the challenge where I need something from you wonderful people. Preferably not very long, ideally 1-cour or less. But if it's a 2 cour that I "absolutely positively most see under any circumstance no matter what", I'll consider it. Other than that, no restriction.

Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster + Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster. They are two separate anime but I highly recommend watching both.

From TV series I would recommend Skip Beat!. It's tagged as Shoujo and some might not like it, but IMO it's more a great comedy than Shoujo.

If you want something shorter than maybe Eve no Jikan would work.

From feature films I would go with Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa or Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki.

Alright friends, I've finally hit the point in the challenge where I need something from you wonderful people. Preferably not very long, ideally 1-cour or less. But if it's a 2 cour that I "absolutely positively most see under any circumstance no matter what", I'll consider it. Other than that, no restriction.

Now I checked another user-dependent category "Watch a highly rated and completed anime from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on", where I used Tamako Market movie, which was rated 10 by this user. But since the last time I looked at his list, he has removed scores from the majority of his completes, including the anime I used.

Could you confirm this case as well? I apologize for bothering you with these things.

Will ask...

Simply because I was meaning to ask a while ago and never did and it is similar to the question at hand; I have noticed some people have deleted their entries for whatever reason, does this effect the categories that use information from other users after you have already finished a show before they deleted their entry. For example, if the person directly above you had an join date of 2013 and they delete their entry after you have already finished a 2013 show for the "» Watch an anime that started airing the same year the user above/below you joined MAL" challenge making 2013 not a valid year, how is it handled at turn in? Do they have to watch a new anime that fits in that category?

It does affect since there's no evidence of it (unless they have a screenshot of it). So if this happened the user would need either a screenshot or to change the entry. For those we can't solve them just by asking the other user since anyone can say yes...

The entries affected, if someone deleted their form, would be:

» Watch an anime that started airing the same year the user above/below you joined MAL
» Watch a highly rated and completed anime from another challenger who posted on the same page you signed up on
» Watch an anime that another user has watched for this challenge

Could someone help me pick a good anime from their challenge?
It's just that I don't wanna go full random on this entry and having trouble trying to finish something I may not like... (Please) :)

I am under the impression that scores are a sensitive topic for many people. Though I'm interested, why did you remove you score suddenly. Could you confirm that you had the Tamako Market movie rated 10? I still need the proof, to link to it from my challenge form.

A lot of stuff I watched for the challenge was pretty good. I've watched Spice and Wolf, Full Moon, Ringing Bell, and Railgun for the challenge if any of those interest you.
