I was hoping somebody could help me with the "Watch an anime recommended to you by another participant" item. Any genre is fine. Movies and OVAs are welcome, too.

Thanks in advance.

"One of the four conventional three-month periods of television broadcasting in Japan (January to March; April to June; July to September; October to December): Noragami aired during the first cour of 2014."

Try Noragami.


To help expand on that a bit as well; a 'cour' is generally 12-13 episodes which run in a three month period as katsaroulhs mentioned. So a 2 cour series would be 24-26 episodes, 3 cour series would be 36-39 episodes, and so forth. A cour generally runs under a single title as well (number sequencing normally does not fall into the multiple cour category).

For the challenge, depending on the difficulty you chose would determine how many cours you would need to watch.


Thanks, I misunderstood cour as season.

Go to the first post in this thread to find the "FAQ". My extended explanation of cours can be found there along with other useful information about the challenge.

Try Chihayafuru. It's really more a good slice of life anime with the card game being the main activity. I think you might be able to enjoy this. ;)

"Watch an anime that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship"

Does the couple has to be a "couple" from the start of the show? Or does it count as long as they end up with each other by the end of it?

If they has to be a couple, some recommendations please?

To face one's own feelings is akin to throwing oneself into a bottomless pit, or setting sail on an endless sea.

I disagree. There's a movie challenge and we can use movies for other challenges too. There's a short challenge and we can use shorts for other challenge too. Etc.
I'm pretty sure we can re-watch anime as long as we've started from the beginning in 2016.

For easy, you have to complete 20 challenges, so you will have to exclude 30. As for your second question, I don't really know... Sorry..

You don't HAVE to do it, but you can do it if you want to.

If your question was more about the technicalities, I personally don't download the banner but use the link from the first page instead. You have to do your signature on your own. The staff won't do it for you.

- Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.
- Bungaku Shoujo (one of the first films I had seen, without knowing any tropes I absolutely loved this film, had me in tears a few times.)
- Clannad (not sure why you've not seen it yet)
- Higashi no Eden
- Katanagatari

*edit

Steins;Gate has top priority ... not sure how that's not something you've even seen yet :D

A bunch of stupid questions (because I'm stupid)
-Can one anime satisfy two criteria?
-Who keeps an update on my completed criteria?
-Who records the completion of the challenge? Will it be recorded? Do I have to do it all by myself or do staff members get involved in some of it?
-What do we get for completion in the end?

- No it can not, sequels / prequels however can (I dont do it because the entire challenge is to watch something you normally wouldnt etc, since you already know what sequels and prequels pretty much will contain.)

- You do, no-one can actually check if you completed the anime you've entered or not, you're only fooling yourself if you just do it to boost after all.

- Again ... you do, I think SheyCroix will check out the people who finished but again, you're the one doing the challenge.

- You get the satisfaction of watching anime you normally probably wouldnt ... and completing it ofcourse.

As far as I know, only you. Maybe someone will check when you'll finish everything, but I'm not even sure about that.
4blaze2it0 said:

I'm not sure I understand that question. The people that have finished the last challenged are recorded on the first page of the 2015's challenge. What you've completed should be edited by you on the post you've posted for that. It's how it is recorded unless someone hacks MAL's server and delete everything.
4blaze2it0 said:

A badge, And fun for watching anime a more challenging way. And the pleasure to discover something you would'nt have watch otherwise.

Also, please read the FAQ on the first page which might answer some further questions.

I believe something like Nisekoi and Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji would fit in this since the relationship is made right from the start (even though in both of those they are pretending to be in a relationship) but there is also a romantic interest.
But I also am not sure about does it have to be a relationship from a start...

I guess it is okay to watch an anime without the couple having a romantic relationship from the start. You could see some challengers who have an anime with couples who get together later.

I'd go with medium.

But I'd watch a 3 cours show and <10K views... so if ever you've finished this summer, you'd still have time to change your challenge for the hard one.

zombie_pegasus said:
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.


Pretty much sums it up. It's basically a series under one title that runs multiple seasons (24-26eps; 36-39eps; etc).
