Sojin said: MegaJeffsta said: The point of the challenge is to watch and explore new anime therefore re watching an anime would not count.random question: would rewatching a series be allowed to act as finishing one of the challenges, as long as that anime you are rewatching fulfils a challenge's specifications? Oh okay. thanks! i was just curious, (i wasnt planning to rewatch anyway) |
| @Sojin thanks for the answer, it helped =) also the "Fuuka" part is supposed to come in blue or in the "watching" color from the legend? (already found a place for fuuka, 69 one word anime name lol) also for challenges for example 35. Watch an anime with less than 5,000 completed members...do i need to find an old unpopular anime, or does a new seasonal count (since no one completed them yet)? |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| When on the bingo card says "free" does that mean we can choose a random anime we want to watch, or a random number from the challenge list that is not on the ones that were picked by the pattern we choose? |

| 59. Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread Can someone please recommend me something up to 12 episodes, thanks! :3 |

winddevil1 said: Oh you got 35 as well, unlucky... I went and found an old unpopular anime with only 2,000 completed users. About the airing ones im not sure on that since once the show ends more than 5,000 people are going to put completed all at once soo... yea im not sure i would just go the safe route and find a old and unpopular anime.@Sojin thanks for the answer, it helped =) also the "Fuuka" part is supposed to come in blue or in the "watching" color from the legend?

Phlippy said: Yes to all your questions!Okay, so I got a few questions regarding my Bingo list 4. Watch a Music type anime This means a music video, not an anime with the Music genre, right? For example this 24. Watch an anime with 33 episodes or more I finished Gintama° today, started it at 3rd January. Does this count, even tho I created this list after finishing the anime? 38. Watch an anime with a main cast primarily of one gender Love Live would fit this criteria, right? 43. Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in his field Shirobako Aoi Miyamori, professional anime creator. Does this count? (30 character min) |

| OK, I have to watch an anime that began airing from 1960 to 1979, and I admittedly watch stuff from the 2000s and 2010s almost exclusively (with a few 90s stuff sprinkled in) so I have absolutely 0 knowledge on shows in that time period. I'm fine with watching some shitty 5 minute short if I have to but I wouldn't mind watching an actual show from those years. Do any of you guys know any good ones that aren't really long? |

Jumpierwolf0960 said: This is my first year doing the challenge. Sorry if someone has already asked this before. What do you do if a title fits in more than one category? like others said you have to choose only one category. but for example if it's a show that has 2 seasons and you watched both this year, you can use 1 season for one category and the other season for another category that it fits! because they have 2 different entries/pages :) A_StealthyGeko said: delija9091 said: This can only happen if someone deletes their comment.

| 66. Watch an anime suggested by Anime+ or by MAL - link to a screen shot it suggested a season 2 of gochuumon wa usagi desu ga probably because i have season 1 on plan to watch would season 1 work for this or would i need to watch both seasons? (after watching s1 i would probably go watch s2 but just wondering) |

|
| So if I understand the rules correctly, we can still change our difficulty and pattern picks as the year goes on? Does this also hold for the extra restrictions for the "Master of..." title? |
  |
| 24. Watch an anime with 33 episodes or more: Anybody know of any good ones to fit this one? |

AkiKitazawa said: Stupid question maybe but do rewatches count? Or must they be all new? Example, it's been years since I watched Trigun, but if I want to watch it again, can I let it count for any of my challenges? The idea of the challenge is to use new anime.... but if you wish to re-watch something it has to be completely watched during the year. OneDerpian said: Hellow :3 I have a question regarding challenge number 58: It says, --For the following items, the anime should have a total duration of 16 minutes or more.-- And I want to go for the kids, magic anime Fastening Days It consists of 2 episodes wich are 10 minutes each, does this anime qualify for this challenge? Since it has 2 episodes of 10 minutes, that makes the total duration of 20 minutes, which is more than 16 minutes. So yes, you can use that. Lestat- said: Is it permitted to change the font-size one tick smaller for the duration of the challenge (as the length of the sentences will otherwise cause them to jump to the next line and it will look cluttered), and change it back to the normal size once it is up for review? This is much for my own sanity, as I cannot bear to look at visual inconsistencies. Like this. I have been using this size for my previous challenge as well, and there were no comments on it whatsoever. As long as you don't make it smaller, for that one is okay Paulo27 said: I'm more wondering how you do things because I'm turning [*][color=GRAY][Started: <date>] [Finished: <date>][/color] <##>. <Item Text>: [url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/<id_num>][color=<legend_color>]<anime_title>[/color][/url] to [*][color=GRAY][Started: <date>] [Finished: <date>][/color] [color=red]<##>. <Item Text>: [url=http://myanimelist.net/anime/<id_num>][b]<anime_title>[/b][/url][/color] That change it's okay TheElevenTails said: Quick question, can I use the alternate English titles when editing the challenges? (and @Punkero) As stated in the rules, no. You should use the name as it appears in the anime page. Lolsebca said: I'm supposed to complete the 70th challenge : Choose a random trope from TVTropes and watch an anime listed under the trope I clicked once on random trope and I went to this page : http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlantAliens From all the anime listed here, it standed out : [...] Does this mean I'm allowed to watch any Pokemon show about grass-type Pokemon? Such as Pokemon movie? Also it was mentionned in the challenge list : '- unless a specific title/anime is referenced, you can use any from the franchise mentioned. If the page says that the trope/examples shouldn't be used as one it won't be valid.' Any Pokemon title since the reference was in general. -Lorraine- said: 62. Watch an anime that hasn't been reviewed Can this be an anime that hasn't started airing yet? And then I watch it when it starts airing. If when you start watching it, it doesn't has one, then you can use it. DarkFaerie said: So for the challenge I got 65: "Choose an anime from the predictive search using your username". I was planning on making my restriction Slice of Life only. However, none of the predictive results contained Slice of Life when I entered my username and the only way I'd get a SOL is if I did "View all results". However, the criteria specifically says that you can't use "View all results". What do I do in this situation? If you complete the challenge with that restriction, for that particular item you can include a screenshot and a note that explains that and why you went for the "view all" Kel said: For entries in the challenge, do I need to have a start and end date on the anime in my list (on my profile)? Akarin said: Is it necessary to specify "Started" and "Finished" dates in the challenges list, or is it completely optional? If it's outside the challenge thread it doesn't matter. If it's the challenge list in the thread, the dates have to be there Droso said: I set myself a restriction to only watch TV anime this challenge. Since my favourite studio is Kyoto Animation, for the challenge "Watch one of the 5 lowest scored anime from your favorite studio'' should I consider the 5 lowest TV series or do I need to switch studios? Thanks in advance If that's your restriction then yes, count only TV type Ermidokan said: 72. Watch an anime that you can finish in one day Considering the fact that I one-shot anime during the night (9PM -> 3AM) can we say it's done in one day ? [Jan 07 to Jan 08] FREE : 72. Watch an anime that you can finish in one day : Himouto! Umaru-chan ✔ Since it's under 24 hours it should be alrgiht. Just make sure to include the notes for the hours Stacys__Mom said: Hello! I was going for Emperor with Master of Sci-Fi as my restriction. I noticed that there are no Sci-Fi anime made between 1917 and 1959. I also noticed that the "TV Types Only" restriction mentioned that breaking the rule was OK for #14. Would the same be the case for Sci-Fi? I will add this as a note over there so (if you go with this type of restriction and there are no tagged anime for #14, you can use one of the genres it has as partners in the challenge list { items 49 to 58 }. For example, a Sci-Fi restriction can use anime tagged Fantasy, Sci-Fi and/or Supernatural for that item) @PrOxAnto looks good except that you removed the numbered list --> [ list=1 ] try to leave that, please @Kamidox Asuka is from Germany so she counts A_StealthyGeko said: Okay so a quick question, I've got a link to a certain message for the challenge, but I noticed the post numbers change as new people post. Does this mean that the url for the post I have (=postnumber) will become a link to a different post at some point? As others said they will keep changing if the people who post keeps erasing their comments here. I recommend that when you want to get the link, you should press the post number. For example that post of yours is currently #434. when I press the number it gives me this link https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1582678&show=400#msg49249015 that link, even if the post change numbers, will keep linking to it (confusing?) It won't work if the post changes pages but that's something easy to fix RulenneClarissa said: So if I understand the rules correctly, we can still change our difficulty and pattern picks as the year goes on? Does this also hold for the extra restrictions for the "Master of..." title? Yes, as long it's before turning-in (Hope I didn't miss anyone D:) Thanks @Sojin (I keep seeing you here the most) and everyone that takes some of their time to help fellow participants Also thanks to both @Fresh_Mint and @Astia for the banners~ Will add them now (^_^)/ |

| @AWC_Mod Thank you! I'll try for the extra challenge then :) |

| I have a cooouple questions about a few of the challenges: Challenge #26 (anime that has been adapted to live action): just to clarify, we have to watch the original anime, yes? Not the live action adaptation of it? Challenge #21 (broadcast on a weekend): it doesn't have to be airing this year on a weekend, right? It can be an anime that has already finished airing? Challenge #68 (number in its title): it says a cardinal or roman number? What is a cardinal number, exactly? o.O Do you just mean it has to be written either like 2 or II in the title, for example, but not two? Challenge #59 (recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread): can someone recommend one to me please? Preferably something short (13 episodes or less). I like school/romance/slice of life/thriller/psychological/sci-fi. I don't really care for harem or ecchi. |

| For challenge #59 (Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread): could someone recommend anime to me please? Maybe psychological, sci-fi, or sports anime. |
| Having trouble figuring out what to use for: 42. Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese 43. Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in his field 44. Watch an anime that mainly takes places outside of Japan, but still on Earth if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks :D |

Thanks :D For 44 they included a blog link on the challenge https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=785324 It could also be used for 42 to some extent or conversely you could also use any of the options listed here http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ForeignExchangeStudent just make sure they're listed as "Main" on the MAL page before using it though. There are also a few links in the description that might add some different options. For 43 it just has to be a person in a profession by the sound of it, so Servant x Service, Shirobako, Fune wo Amu, New Game, Udon no Kiniro no Kemari, and Bartender are the first examples that come to mind. |

Also, if anyone knows. With the TV Type challenge it is literally ANYTHING that's listed as TV? Or is there like a duration cap on it too? |

Thanks for the help. @SLMOE Pick someone off the page you signed up on. Go to the anime list and watch an anime that they have rated highly. Then in your post when you list the anime. State that users name and the post number of their sign up post. @coolangelsthesis afraid not with that. Unless there is a challenge that says "re-watch an anime you've seen before", like they had last year, then it's not allowed. |
