| Anything with a database entry on MAL is allowed, so movies are allowed for any challenge that doesn't say otherwise. I have a question about Blade of the Phantom Master. It's a co-production between a Korean and Japanese company, would it count for » Watch a Korean or Chinese anime? |

| This might be a bit of a dumb question but would an anime labeled as a hentai satisfy the requirements of Watch a Harem, Ecchi, Shoujo Ai or Shounen Ai anime? Or does the anime have to be one of these exact specified genres? |

| So I really can't find anything that I want to watch for the 3-cours anime challenge and I give up on watching Death Note. Can't I use a special like Soul Eater Late Night Show instead? It does fit the description for a 3 cour anime, does it not? |

namea said: Not really, I watched like 4 episodes of it, but it really didn't get my attention. Idk maybe I'm just not up for it right now. Sometimes I want to watch action anime, other times I want to watch fantasy or romantic comedies and right now I'm more into watching comedy/harem anime.

So, go ahead and use it. |
| @SheyCroix Ok if I can quickly catch your attention before you go, what could you recommend that focuses on anime with a romantic relationship? Preferably a comedy romance with roughly 12 eps. |

Can the anime that I completed still count since it's in the challenge period (2016) even though I turned in my application later? Or do I have to watch other anime starting today? (still related to challenge) How can I see the history of anime entries after January 1st, 2016? I can't seem to go past Feb 20th T_T (If above question is yes, I'm going to do it) http://myanimelist.net/animelist/So_Phia?status=2&order=3&order2=0 Here's a link to your list ordered by when you started them. Akame ga Kill! is the first anime you started in 2016 and you have 16 anime that you may use towards the challenge. |

I can't seem to go past Feb 20th T_T (If above question is yes, I'm going to do it) On any anime page, use the "edit (details)" link, then the "history" link near the episode count. This goes back years if you bothered to increment each episode at the time. (There are other ways to access it, but this is the most universal and reliable.) |

Nikechu said: Would Kurozuka count as an anime "that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship"? I know SheyCroix already answered you but ...

Thank you for the suggestion, but I think I'll just watch one of the suggestions he mentioned. That way I know for sure they are valid in the challenge. I'm not a huge fan of romantic relationships, but if it's funny or got an interesting (or rather full of gore or so) plot then I'll watch it :P |

namea said: Fantastic Children Gakuen Alice Bokurano - I really recommend this one, though they are 13, I'm not sure if that pass as there's "They will be considered children if they aren't older than 12 years old (until 14 is accepted as a special exception)" in rules. Once Again thanks for the recommendations ^^ Will watch Bokurano for sure. To be honest in my view some one under age would be a child xD. But will keep to the rules :P Before starting it want to confirm, Does Lovely★Complex fit onto "» Watch an anime that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship " fit into this category ? (By synopsis it seems it does, but want to be 100% sure ) Feel kinda bad for the poor guy 1,56 cm is really short. Being 1,84cm once I had a GF who has 1,46cm tall . People would often stare at how much a height deference there was, really interest in watching this one . (Even it doesn't apply for the challenge will watch =P ) |

Big difference in height in a couple is always amusing, especially here, since the roles are reversed. It's my favorite rom-com. Have fun~ |

| So what counts as "anime focused on non-romantic relationships"? Anything without a couple in it? Or does it really have to focus on relationships? For example, would Ping Pong The Animation work for it? |
| Yeah, it has to be about relationships that are non-romantic but... ...Ping Pong works BECAUSE it focuses on the non-romantic relationships between Kong, Dragon, Smile, Pico, and Demon, between Smile and Butterfly Joe, and between Joe, Baba, and President A lot of things work for that challenge because you can make a case for almost anything. Even stuff with the "romantic" tag. I find the romantic relationship challenge much harder, especially if you take it literally. Things that work for non-romantic relationships challenge: any sports anime(except maybe Adachi works), any work anime, most shounens where they use the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP like Hunter x Hunter, YYH, or Pokemon or are focused on a rivalry like Hikaru no Go, Most magical girl shows including Madoka, any sentimental character pieces like the Girl and Cat show that's airing right now or Tokyo Godfathers, most slice of life even many labeled with the romance tag like Nana and Sakamichi no Apollon where it's easily argued that the romance isn't the focus of the show. Things that work for romantic relationship challenge: One Boy-One Girl mostly SoL shows that show them getting together. Stuff like Blue Spring Ride, Love Com, Ore Monogatari, Kimi ni Todoke, ect. |

Eh, I think it's close enough to pass, but if one was being really technical, there is an arguement against it counting(the arguement being that the show is a coming of age story about the MC girl and the pitfalls of being young and dumb while trying to navigate through many facets of life). Honestly though , I'm the only one that takes that category that literally.
