the first word is a fairly common easter related word, and the whole sentence unscrambles to be a modified title of an anime/manga (so like, as an example, attack on titan would be modified to be attack on chocolate or whatever).
if you put all your letters into an online unscramble website you should be able to figure it out!
(if you saw me messing around with this reply... ignore it. my brain is melted rip)

first word is Easter related, second word is a definite article and the third word is from a popular show
I don't understand how I should start the hard route and the quantity of letters I have to find.
Do I have to search an anime related to that flowers with the rabbits?

aiyo I'm at the form submission page but what's this about the location of the chocolate? it says I would find it after unscrambling the message and get a happy easter page. I have both the scrambled and unscrambled words. am I missing something? should I enter it somewhere to get a location?

if you have the words unscrambled properly it should resemble the name of somewhat recent anime/manga series with one of the words replaced with the easter-related term you unscrambled. once you figure out the name of that series you should go to the page on mal and find the "happy easter" picture and that's how you know you're done!
God, finally finished the easy one and for the looks of it, am not doing the hard one this year
Thanks to the people that helped to make this more easy and good luck to the ones still doing it^^
ahh yes finally I can now rest in peace. my dumbass was typing the scrambled phrase and not the actual source lol. happy easter to everyone starting or going through both the easy and hard runs. good luck
With "Find the longest word without using the board" for the final word you need to figure out. One word is Easter related, the short word you can figure out pretty easily.
The Easter related word is a common animal associated with Easter.
If you got the 1st and 2nd words right there is only one possible solution for the final word.
thank you. this is my first time i participate. i dont even know the last "happy easter!" also in the picture tab. i though i got wrong answer

2. Solve the hints to find which anime/manga/character entry has the chick/egg.
Hints themselves are mostly not difficult. Searching "anime + ..." a few keywords from the hint will bring the entry up in Google, DuckDuckGo, and/or the MAL search box. We are not expecting you to have seen/read all these anime/manga!
It's a hard one. And you need to look really reallyreallyreally well.
can you tell me if it's in one of the aku no hana pictures somewhere or if i should try to find a different series because i feel like i'm going crazy staring at these pictures

That's exactly my point. If Google doesn't actually work and you're *meant* to use DDG, then why even mention Google? Just tell people to use DDG and nothing else. Google just takes you to Hetalia for the first like 5 pages.
And I still want to know why does the chicken who isn't supposed to be the first one have a "ONE" next to it when you can very easily get to it first wrongfully.
This club: https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=60967 but I don't know what the hint could really be. I looked for skiing anime, snowboarding anime, and anime that take place in Canada (all of the locations are from Canada). Honestly, I'm not even sure if this is the right path. Can I get a hint here?

try searching for an anime character that is canadian and is a snowboarder (the anime itself is not related to snowboarding though!)

Story
After a year of grueling work at his mundane desk job, MAL's Easter Bunny has finally accrued enough time off for a vacation!
Many EggTube videos and r/travel posts on Rabbit later, the Easter Bunny put together the plan for his ultimate getaway. Passport in hand, plane tickets booked, and hotel rooms reserved, he was all set to go ✈️
But disaster struck at the airport. In a moment of carelessness, he left his checked luggage partially unzipped...
All of his chocolates fell out and were scattered around the world via the airport's luggage conveyor belts!
Please help him find his 15 chicks (easy route) and ?? eggs (hard route) before they're lost forever.
You may work alone or with 1 trusty partner.
1. Choose a route: Easy or Hard.
If you're new to the event or do not have a lot of time, do the Easy route. The hunting skills you learn during the Easy route will help you tackle the Hard route (later or next year).
2. Solve the hints to find which anime/manga/character entry has the chick/egg.
Hints themselves are mostly not difficult. Searching "anime + ..." a few keywords from the hint will bring the entry up in Google, DuckDuckGo, and/or the MAL search box. We are not expecting you to have seen/read all these anime/manga!
The first hint is given to you in this thread.
3. Find the chick/egg and letter in the Pictures of the correct anime/manga/character entry. Easy route: You will be looking for letters inside a chick outline, like on the Gudetama picture. Hard route: You will be looking for letters inside an egg outline, like the Toshokan Sensou picture.
The images with the chick/egg will always appear on the last picture of the image gallery in a database page: Anime, Manga, Character.
Make sure you write the letter down!
4. Find the next hint in the same anime/manga/character page you found the chick/egg.
Hints will be visible on one of the tabs of the entry that you found the chick/egg, excluding: Reviews, Recommendations, Stats, Featured.
Clickable hints should be clicked!
Hints will not be inside other related database entries unless the relation/link text itself is a clue. Look for anything unusual.
If you're on an anime page, the hint will not be inside a character/people/manga entry, unless the link title/picture itself is weird.
If you're on a character page, the hint will not be inside the anime/etc. entry, unless the link on the character page is weird.
Spoilers on a database entry do not need to be opened, unless the spoiler button itself is weird.
Sometimes Easter words (e.g. egg, rabbit, bunny, usagi...) or Story-Themed words (e.g. around the world, travel, luggage...) will be included to help you see what's a hint, and not legit info.
5. After collecting all the letters, unscramble them to get the hint for the final anime/manga/character entry!
You will need both the scrambled and unscrambled phrase for the Google form, so don't delete it!
There are tools online that can help you unscramble phrases. Pro tip: We usually include an Easter or Story-related word in the final hint.
Finally, doing the hunt will look something like this...
Example:
Hint #1: "Libraries are supposed to be quiet places, but it seems like this one is constantly at war..."
Search: anime + libraries at war
Series #1: Toshokan Sensou (Library Wars)
Egg #1: Hidden on image (top right) in the anime entry's gallery (could also be manga/LN).
Letter #1: A (from the image)
Hint #2: Found in the OP theme: "Struggles of a part-timer: McRonald vs Sentucky Fried Chicken"
Search: anime + McRonald vs Sentucky Fried Chicken OR anime + struggles of a part-timer
Series #2: Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-Timer!)
During the event, you can ask for hints and help (not solutions) using either this thread or our Discord server.
First, join the MAL server using the link below. Verify your MAL account as per the instructions.
Then go to #bot-spam (under Miscellaneous), type /asar join and select easter.

I've tried both anime and manga pics. I'm 99% sure it is Anu no hana but the egg is impossible. The anime page image is too small and the manga page last pic is just a mess.

Not that one. You have to search the phrase in google. Or alternatively
