your difficulty says medium, but Gate is a one-cour anime, because the 2 seasons are 2 separate database entries |

Do Gintama this season will do the trick? It's 51 episodes in total. |

XengRyu said: Gintama can be included, the question is just when you started watching it. Like if you started watching it in 2015 then it can't be included since the challenge says you have to watch anime in the challenge period. The challenge period is from Jan 1 2016 to Dec. 31 2016.zombie_pegasus said: The length works, but when did you start it? If you started it Jan 1 2016 or later then it works. It's the one airing since last year so can't be included? Anyway, if it's not, this will do? 42 episodes in total. |
XengRyu said: It's not about when it aired but about when you watched it.

| @LiLSatan What haven't you watched from those seasons, everything that I'd reccommend, you've seen so give me a list |

| Diabolik Lovers sequel is the shortest, so that one. |
| Not sure if this has been clarified, but about this "Watch an anime with a main character that is not Japanese", last year there was note about the series being within our universe, but this year there is no note about it. Does this mean I can use a fantasy nation? |

Does this mean I can use a fantasy nation? Would have to be within our same universe/world, because if it's a completely different world, such as Trigun to name an example, then everyone is not Japanese since Japan doesn't exit there. Sawt0othGrin said: "Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length" For this challenge if I am watching say Yuru Yuri is it just the third cours that counts towards this challenge or is it all three? For example if I finish off Yuru Yuri and I use the third cours as the item to complete the challenge can I use the first two for other list items? Or do they all have to belong to this challenge? There are 3 seasons of Yuru Yuri and each of them is a 1-cour series, therefore you could choose any season for ''Watch an anime with one-cour length''. Now if you want a 3-cour title, then choose a TV series with more than 36 episodes. |

Magical girl anime are fairly similar to moe anime and they're usually four-cour, if that interests you."Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length" For this challenge if I am watching say Yuru Yuri is it just the third cours that counts towards this challenge or is it all three?

My explanation used to be on the front page of this thread, if you want to read it. Unlike the official Japanese definition the anime you use doesn't have to be a TV series. |

| In ost fantasy series I know, people are NOT assumed to be Japanese. They have different names, different country names and when seeing their writing, most of the time it's some random symbols. The only speak Japanese, because, well, it was made in Japan xD But I do get @Puchkov 's opinion and I will agree with it. Thank you! Though, to be fair, it should be made clear in the challenge itself. Even if a fantasy universe has no Japan, it doesn't matter, cause the challenge only asks for the main character not to be japanese, not for the universe to include Japan as a whole. Nothing should rely upon an "it's obvious" thinking 8D It's a legit hole :'D |

In this sense nothing is really obvious. |

The discrepancy between Chirin no Suzu's synopsis and its image makes me want to see it just out of morbid curiosity. Thanks. |

linkhimura said: Hello all. I remember that some time ago someone said that maybe erased works for the all-children challenge. I didn't watch it, I don't know what it's about. But now that it has ended, could it work for that challenge? (I remember that the fundament was something about time traveling or something, or that a big guy goes back to child form, or something like that). No, that one can't be used. mrmuk said: Can I safely assume that this show is ok for the "watch anime where main cast is children under 12" task? http://myanimelist.net/anime/31793/Mahou_Shoujo_Nante_Mou_Ii_Desukara Already answered but just in case this one can't be used since the non human MC is quite old.

I have Boku no Hero Academia for my "Watch an anime with children as the main cast" but based on other questions and answers I am guessing it doesn't count in that spot. Would Serial Experiment lain or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni be able to work for this category if BnHA doesn't? 2. I am a 32 year old male. Does that mean I can use a Shounen for "Watch an anime with a target demographic that does not apply to you" or do I need to cross gender as well? 3. I could also use a "anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant" hopefully take a look at my list and make recommendation based on my viewing history.

Yes, you are not in the shounen demographic., so you can use Shounen for that challenge. 3. Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku, FLCL, SPace Battleship Yamato 2199 |

| Just for the record, I went back and looked for examples of other people using anime that works for the main cast as children challenge and basically everyone is screwing it up. More then half of the front page has goofed with some people using 16-17 year olds or INFINITELY OLD ALIENS. So, I guess if you are also screwing up on that specific category, you can take solace that you are not the only one, and you're probably closer than some other people. Edit: @Logic340 Peole that are doing it right on the front page are using Non Non Biyori(3/4ths main cast are 12 or under with the 4th being 13ish), Gakkou no Kaidan, Ponyo, and Gakuen Alice. I'm using Major S1. |

Major was really good, despite me having some beefs about suspension of disbelief(between speed of pitches and how everyone slides into first in tense situations even though there is literally no upside to doing so). It's probably my second or third favorite sports show. |
| Hi, I need an anime for the "Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant". Preferably 1-cour, something with memorable characters and great character development. Mystery or slice of life would be ideal, but not imperative.

It's interesting anime, don't be fooled by moe appearance. Rokka no Yuusha - nice mystery set in fantasy world Sore ga Seiyuu -slice of life showing the life of seiyuu, it's quite enjoyable and cute Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - if you would like a good drama Nagi no Asukara - this is 2-cour, but the story is interesting and so are the relationships among the characters I hope something will catch your interest~ @logic340 I would recommend you Bokurano for the children cast challenge, I think you would enjoy that series. It's a great psychological anime. The kids are 13 years old, which is acceptable according to rules, as they are under 14. |
nameaMar 30, 2016 10:35 AM
| @namea It's 12 and under. Not under 14. |
8. How old the main characters have to be to be considered children? -- They will be considered children if they aren't older than 12 years old (until 14 is accepted as a special exception). There's definitely 14 mentioned in the rules. Or this "special exception" thing should be explained in details. |

|
| @namea @Puchkov It says under 12 on the sign up. And 14 was a special exception for people he told was under 14 before he made the rule under 12. If you are asking now, you don't fall under the special exception. Rule is 12, Bokurano doesn't count. This is why stating there is a special exception is a bad idea. |

Seems many don't know but before there was confusion regarding this and xxx happened so I said in a post (that I don't have the link of) that for those who asked over here and came to discuss (and read the FAQ) they could use until 14.

I suggest that you try either shoujo or josei, since shounen it's still targeted to males (young ones, yes)... but if you don't feel like it and still plan to go with shounen make a note in your form about your age (please). Since once you finish and I go over it I probably won't remember about this. Also note: Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length: (easy/medium/hard) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni 2-cour (medium) but you seem to be trying for hard.... so keep this one in mind |
