SmithyRocks said: That's fine; you can use any type of anime for any item, as long as it fits the requirements. An anime with one episode still has an "episode duration", in a way. A movie like Spirited Away simply has an "episode duration" of 2 hours 4 minutes, so that would be valid.For (52) ”Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or above and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more” Can I use a film for this, since it doesn’t have an ‘episode duration’ really? nick_kun said: The earliest start date of all the anime you use for the challenge. In your example, you would use the January date as your overall start date, since that's the earliest anime you are using for the challenge.Challenge Start Date -> The date the first anime was started for the challenge, regardless of when you signed up for the challenge. This doesn't include the original starting date for the On-Hold item My first entry was of an anime that i watched in June. But apparently, after some days I found that there is an anime satisfying the challenge requirements which I completed in January. So what should be my Challenge Start Date? |

| (100) Finish an anime you put on-hold or dropped on or before July 1, 2020 that has two or more episodes and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more Just to be sure but does this mean if I watch an anime on hold but it is not before July 2020 instead it is after July 2020, does it still counts? Because I have no anime dropped or on hold before July 2020, what should I do? |
  |
| And what is the restriction for the sign-up form? Just curious since I'm a first-timer |
|
Noitora33 said: That would be an anime featured in another user's forum avatar or forum signature. For example, my forum avatar is from Dragon Maid, and my signature is from Space Brothers, so you could watch any anime featuring those characters. Basically, just pick another user who is completing the challenge, see what anime they have in their forum set, and watch it.Hello, I want to know what is considered as "an anime featured in an active participants forum set"?

| For Item #18, does sound director count? Or is it only storyboard/episode director? |

CyberSan said: Any type of director is fine. According to the rules for that item, they can even be a different type of director in each anime (e.g. an episode director in one and storyboard director in the other).For Item #18, does sound director count? Or is it only storyboard/episode director? |

FanTazia02 said: That would be nice, but in the meantime we've created a list of 40 or so anime that are valid for this item. Also, remember that you can use ignore your type restrictions for item 57. Even if you're doing a TV restriction, you can watch any type of anime to complete this particular item.TV type anime with 2 episodes or more that have an episode duration of 50 minutes or more. (Would be nice if we could find anime based on episode duration) |

cyb3rf4iry said: That would not be valid. Bungou Stray Dogs Wan is listed as "Other". To be valid, it would have to actually say "Spin-Off".

| Anyone got a recommendation for "Watch a listed noitaminA, YATP, or Ghibli Founders anime"? I know its like a sin for anime but, these aren't usually my type, whether art style or simply because some ghibli can get very weird (looking at you spirited away >~<) Also any recommendation for "Watch a listed themed anime: Mahou Shoujo or Superhero" tons to choose from and apparently never watched any tagged with these, so it'll be my first. I'm cautious of watching any Mahou Shoujo with all the stereotypes/ stigma surrounding them, though regardless if anyone has a good one (or a couple to choose from) that be fantastic! |

Look at the Episodes tab of various anime until you find one where there's a skipped week or something unusual. For example, Kakegurui skipped a week, from Jul 29 to Aug 12. Also, several anime were delayed in 2020 due to the pandemic, so there are a few options there too. |

DaPurplePlaya said: You can check your episode history for an anime to get an estimate. At the very least, it will show you the date you finished the anime. You can use that to make an educated guess for your start date.So what if I know that I watched the anime in 2021 but i don't remember the exact dates? I normally wait until I have finished a couple anime then add them all at once so I usually don't put the dates. wapowpewpewpew said: Unless you have a screenshot showing that it didn't have a licensor listed at the time, you'll need to use a different anime for that item. You can also move that anime to a different item, if it fits somewhere else in your challenge.An anime I watched for Spot 16 (Anime without a licensor) now has a licensor listed, when it didn't when I watched the anime.

DaPurplePlaya said: That's fine; as you said, as long as you started and finished it in 2021, it'll work. Just take your best guess based on how long you remember it taking to watch each one, and set the Start Dates in your list accordingly.There are going to be a ton with the same end date because I add them in bulk so should I just guess the start and end date? As long as I'm sure I started it in 2021. |

DaPurplePlaya said: I was wondering what counts as an original anime for #39? #39 refers to the material on which the anime is based; could be based on a manga, a game, a 4-koma, etc. For an original anime, it needs to be an original creation. You can find that information in the bottom left of the anime page like this.  |
DaPurplePlaya said: For that item, you must be able to state the character's nationality; so that would not be valid.For having a foreign main character would Sotoka Rakita work from Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu even though I can't list her nationality? Should I just put unkown? |
