I think you might like it. As for the anime from 1941-1960 I used Koneko no Rakugaki, it's only an episode and you can find it easily on youtube. For the 1961-1980 I'd say the first Gundam if you're into mechas, otherwise Jetter Mars or Mirai Shounen Conan because they're among the shortest (less than 30 ep.) I say you should go with Ping Pong the animation |

Look through their favourite anime until you find one you like. AudioTsunami said: I'll find or make a better background for it tomorrow.I find the letters hard to read because of the color scheme. Thank you for the recommendation. I'll watch it even if I am not into loli I'll still watch it. |

But you wrote down you don't like vampire genre (even though Bake isn't a usual vampire story), so you can go for Psycho-pass instead, if you prefer, which is a show you could enjoy, I think. |

I'm glad I could gauge your tastes so well ^-^ Enjoy the show, it has a pretty charismatic antagonist. But keep Bakemonogatari in mind for the future, it's one of those classic series. Not something that everybody will enjoy, but something that everybody should try. Good luck with the challenge~ |
namea said: Haha! Ooh cool, those are always fun to watch. I'll do that, I actually hadn't heard of that one, but it looked interesting so I'll have to check it out eventually for sure.DanWall said: Yup, I just recently started getting into anime so that's my general plan for now.

| Bakemonogatari being called a classic? Now I've heard everything. |
AudioTsunami said: A lot of the anime that people tend to call "must watch anime" didn't even exist 10 years ago. When I first got into anime I was surprised that most of the anime people said was the "best anime" had actually aired in the last few years. Angel Beats!, No Game No Life, and most recently One Punch Man which I was able to follow weekly may be considered "classics" to some people. Typically a classic is something that has been known to be good for a long time. Recently the definition has started to include things that have been talked about enough that people perceive them as having been around for longer than they actually have.Bakemonogatari being called a classic?

Now I've heard everything. Yeha I get that and I understand recency bias and am guilty of that myself on occasion - depending on the ending this might be my favorite show - but Bakemonogatari is baseline ecchi harem with touch of edgy shounen for the kids. It's not a classic. Probably not even a classic within it's genre. But I guess that's subjective so i digress. |
| @AudioTsunami @zombie_pegasus Bakemonogatari is series that people consider worth watching for its eccentric art and storytelling. It's definitely one of those shows everybody should try watching, but of course it's not something everybody will enjoy. It's avant-garde. If you see only "baseline ecchi harem with touch of edgy shounen for the kids", I think you are looking at it with wrong expectations or something. When you want to see something 'else', you watch this thing. Or Madoka, which is another, newer, avant-garde by Shaft. I don't agree with opinion that 'classic' series should be considered only those that are decades old. Anime is still airing, every year, every season, naturally new series worth checking out pop out. I personally wouldn't call Angel Beats, No Game No Life or One Punch Man classic, even when they have their quality, but I would recommend Bakemonogatari, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica or Shinsekai Yori as classic to anybody, and they are not very old series, but they are special in some way. I guess I simply like anime with a darker tone? I'm sure there are plenty of people who would agree with you and plenty of people who would agree with me. Classic series, quality shows, average shows...It's always just a matter of opinion anyway. |

He's not pushing a new boundary, he's stylizing within an old one. But yeah, you like edgy shows just like everyone else on MAL, I get it. Bakemonogatari pushing barriers, bros. |

oikawatt said: Are there any genres you like more than others? It seems like most of the anime you rate is just mainstream stuff. Here are some recommendations anyway:Hey, Im having a little trouble finding something for >Watch an anime with less than 10k completed members? Thank you in advance ! Smile Precure! (you liked Madoka, so maybe some real magical anime would be nice) Taishou Yakyuu Musume. (very cute and there is some romance. It's what I would call "moe sports") There are plenty of shitty shorts and even specials of popular anime that fit this challenge. These are some of the only good anime I've seen that fit this description. Mahou Shoujo Sonicoβ Magica has less than 10k completed members, but it wasn't that great. It's also only a minute long. |

oikawatt said: Hey, Im having a little trouble finding something for >Watch an anime with less than 10k completed members? Thank you in advance ! You've seen two of "Kono Danshi..." stories and enjoyed them, so you can go with Kono Danshi, Sekika ni Nayandemasu., which is one episode, or Kono Danshi, Mahou ga Oshigoto Desu., which is 4 episodes long. I especially liked the one with crystalization, it was very cute. If you would prefer something else, I'm going to watch Zettai Shounen, which seems interesting, but I can't really tell since I didn't start it yet. |
oikawatt said: Hey, Im having a little trouble finding something for >Watch an anime with less than 10k completed members? Thank you in advance ! GAAAAAHHHHH I was gonna recommend [url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/31147/] Like I always do but it's over 10k now....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO you can go with Ghost Stories Technically, it's a second season but each episode is it's on individual story, so you can start anywhere. The Lupin reboot Is a good place to enter that classic franchise and has only 500 completed members. |

| It seems I've misunderstood a question, γ» Watch an anime with an archetype as a main character Does it mean like any of these: ? ? ? I'd be happy if it's any of these, also if you can recommend me an exciting (e.g. action, military, sci-fi etc.) anime with any of these I'd be happy :) |
StitchMar 2, 2016 1:41 PM
Thanks, know any exciting anime with these archetypes? |
Saelydera said: For that one I watched:Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru Not sure if you like magical girl animes though Well, I don't mind them, but if they're aimed at kids then it's rather boring. |
Nikechu said: Saelydera said: For that one I watched:Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru Not sure if you like magical girl animes though Well, I don't mind them, but if they're aimed at kids then it's rather boring. I'd pick an anime that doesn't fit in any other category, since you'll find an archetype in pretty much every anime. |

| Would Log Horizon count as an anime with 3 cours? |

theneilesh said: Puchkov said: No, since both seasons have 25 episodes, therefore: Log Horizon S1: 2-cour Log Horizon S2: 2-cour Ahh ok so the challenge is for anime with exactly 3 cour, cheers for your help Any Anime with more than 36 episodes can be used it; in fact I know one user that is watching Bleach for the 3-cour challenge. |

'-' some people really want a hard challenge |
| Well, I'm watching Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu for this one, and most of the others are 26 episodes long :-) |

mozgow said: Well, I'm watching Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu for this one, and most of the others are 26 episodes long :-) I'm doing something similar; I'll be watching a lot of 26 - 50 episode TV series for the challenge. |

Puchkov said: Any Anime with more than 36 episodes can be used it; in fact I know one user that is watching Bleach for the 3-cour challenge. The bolded is not true. Refer to the FAQ for the proper information. |
| In my challenge I set a personal restriction as "have an average time spent on the regular challenges of over 4.8 hours" which means that I'll be watching at least 10 days worth of anime over the challenges. Since I am using some shorts this also means that my time will be concentrated into certain anime. I'm watching four 4-cour anime for the challenge, the shortest of which is what I'm using for the three cour challenge (Smile Precure - 48 episodes). I'm also watching a few three cour anime and many two cour anime. |

AudioTsunami said: Puchkov said: Any Anime with more than 36 episodes can be used it; in fact I know one user that is watching Bleach for the 3-cour challenge. The bolded is not true. Refer to the FAQ for the proper information. 5. "What means one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length?" -- Normally a "cour" is the three-months period often used to divide the seasons. The length for the anime tends to be: 1-cours : 11 - 13 episodes (regularly over the course of a season) 2-cours : 23 - 26 episodes 3-cours or more : more than 34 episodes |
|
| Right, "tends to be". Something that aired over the course of 3-cours tends to be longer than 34 episodes. But not HAS to be. @zombie_pegasus used to be quoted in the FAQ explaining what exactly 3-cours is with examples. The challenge is an anime that airs over 3-cours. So as long as it qualifies, it can be used. |
AudioTsunami said: We actually did have an argument about this, and apparently as the challenge does say "in length" it is referring to the episode count rather than the number of cour it aired for. Although Katanagatari is a four cour anime, it only has 12 episodes so it wouldn't count for the challenge. Romeo no Aoi Sora is a bit iffy because it is exactly 33 episodes and it took a full year to air. It is a four cour anime and it is just barely under Shey's episode requirement.Right, "tends to be".

Correct and the reason for doing this is because it is very confusing to use the exact definition of a cour. It's much easier to just define an episode range. |

Is watching everything related to a show you've entered for a challenge considered hard aswell ^^ ? Reason I'm doing it is because I dont like watching a season of a show I've already put in for a challenge, kinda defeats the purpose of watching new anime you normally wouldnt. |

Reason I'm doing it is because I dont like watching a season of a show I've already put in for a challenge, kinda defeats the purpose of watching new anime you normally wouldnt. Of course, that builds up the difficulty of the challenge; the way I see it is this: there are people that almost exclusively use seasonal Anime (12 episodes) and that is absolutely fine, but there are also some folks that try to add an extra difficulty to spice things up. |
