REC CLUB WINTER CHALLENGE 2022 - UNWRAPPED!
DECEMBER 4TH - JANUARY 1ST
Welcome back everyone for another holiday-themed challenge! After a joyful Christmas last year, Santa Claus has (secretly) seen all your hard work you have done the past year and has decided to give everybody a present! Or 2. Or 12!
This month-long event will have you go through the special gifts you’ve received. Everyone receives the same gift, and it’s up to you which ones you want to open and participate in!
HOW TO PLAY
There are 12 different gifts to select below. Each gift has one through three tasks to perform. Pick one gift to challenge and complete!
- Each task will have you watch/read a specific genre, theme, or other action. Some tasks may require you to do a combination of the three.
- You must complete each task in a gift to complete the challenge.
- All anime (TV series, movies, OVAs, etc.), manga, and novel titles are eligible for each task.
- You may only use one anime title per task. Titles can’t be reused for other gifts/tasks.
- You must start watching/reading a new title for this challenge, and the title must be marked finished before December 2022 (anime that continue to air to 2023 or manga/novels that are currently publishing do not count.)
- Rewatches/rereads are allowed; please state them in your post.
