Hi!
I encountered somewhat of a problem with my challenge progress.


(73) Watch an anime with a title that ends with the first letter of your username

I can't find more animes than those I've already watched ending with letter C. Could I an acceptable recommendation or, if there's none, what should I do?

You can try xxxHolic or Luck and Logic.

Anything ending in "magic" would also work--Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic or Knights & Magic, for example.

Some short anime/specials ending in C include:
I Love Picnic
Instant Music
I don't know how easy or hard these will be to find.

Thank you so much! I had totally forgotten about xxxHolic... I have a bad habit of watching episode or two of every anime to determine if I want to watch them, so a all of those titles I've actually watched partially before, so thank you!

A clearer explanation of #74.

For #68 find an active staff member you like, then pick a favorite anime from that person's profile.

For 74:
Go to your profile where you listed your own favorite anime.
If you don't have any listed: go do that first.
After that you pick one, preferably the one you like most.
Go to that anime's page (its MAL entry)
Then go to the "recommendations" tab and watch one of the first 5 recommendations for that particular anime.

Hmmmmm, Nico is def fine, and I think Rock wouldn't be a problem. The question comes down to Uno. Wiki says his hair is yellow with pink highlights, which makes me think the answer is no.

I already did my challenge, but 1 month and a half later I don't even know if I have it right or not. Just in case, I could use some personal recommendation for #27 (and #102?).

(Yes, I underlined these two words for a reason).

Pink highlights is definitely not natural, but they said that left side of the head completely white and right side completely red was natural so who knows?

Oh then we were talking about different things back then! Yes, for those items it's up to the user to watch whatever, so there's really no reason to skip or not skip a sequel if they haven't watched what's needed... given it's up to them. It's different with the item about watching one of the lowest 5 from your studio, since there's no much room there to pick from (which is why they can skip sequels and whatnot)

I appreciate it!

Since pretty much everything in your list has a high score and is a shounen anime, it's pretty hard to recommend you something outside that range and know that you'll like it, but I guess I'll try.

Genshiken is a comedy anime from mid 00's, and it influenced a lot of otaku-centric comedy til this day.

Ben-To is your typical battle shounen, except it's not typical because of a weird setting.

Yuru Yuri is a cute girls show, and unless I missed something you haven't watched any of those yet.

Little Witch Academia, because good anime should always be recommended.

It looks like I need an anime for this: (27) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread!

Also, need help finding shows that are above average for the longer ones such as
(84) Watch an anime with 50 episodes or more & (78) Watch a short anime with 70 episodes or more.

Finding (68) Watch an active staff member`s favorite anime would also be appreciated, starting to regret using the random button.

For #68 you can find the list of staff members Here and then from there you just pick any active staff member and watch something that is on their favorites list that is 12 episodes or more. But if it that big list is too hard to choose from I recommend just picking any of the three database administrators since they have some nice favorites.

What if there was no anime that started airing the same day (27 Jan 2017)? Do I watch one that started airing on the date closest to the one in which I joined or do I just get some other challenge to replace this one instead? I did the random challenge selection.

I should just write RTFM and leave it there. But since I'm in a good mood, I will explain.

The challenge asks for an anime that aired on the same day of month you joined MAL. In your case it's 27th, so any anime that aired on 27th of any month/year is valid for this item.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I appreciate that you recommended me something, but this isn't really what I asked for. In my original post, I asked for a personal recommendation. This is more than one recommendation, and it's definitely not personal. I can understand people recommending from one's plan to watch list if there is a lot of anime there, but in my case I only have 7 anime on my PtW list which are not related to anything I've watched before, which leads me to believe that you just glanced at my favourites in the best case scenario. Moreover, I intended to start Shoujo Shuumatsu either today or tomorrow, so there's not much point in using it for this particular item. I may watch Sora Yori in the future because it looks like it could be an anime I could enjoy, just not for this item.

Normally, if you see someone has watched over 350 anime and they don't have an anime on their list which ranks #30 in popularity, it's because they don't want to watch it for some particular reason. Fortunately, with Psycho-Pass it's just me not liking the genre even though I know the anime is good, and it was a matter of when to watch it because I never felt like it. If my challenge somehow gets checked and is wrong for some reason, I may watch it and use it for that item.

After seeing you weren't given any recommendations I felt bad and wanted to recommend you something so you wouldn't feel ignored, even while knowing you're a pretty hard one to recommend something to as you've a) watched everything already and b) have a very specific taste.

I haven't watched enough niche or old anime to be able to give a proper recommendation myself, so instead I looked at what the critics have been talking about in their 100 or so most recent videos and cross referenced it with your completed list.

Again, my apologies for offending you. That wasn't my intention at all.

No, I wasn't offended by any means, I appreciate that you sent me a recommendation, it's just that it wasn't what I was looking for. Sorry if I made you feel that way, that wasn't my intention at all. I just like giving responses to things addressed to me, and maybe giving you a few pointers about things to check when making a recommendation (at least what I like doing with them).

In general, someone with a PtW consisting of not yet aired anime, sequels to things they've watched, a couple shorts and only a handful of other anime is going to watch every anime in there at some point, so recommending from there is a bit absurd. Someone with a large PtW most likely adds everything they're interested in there, so recommending from their PtW may help them prioritise and make it thinner.

If you've not seen enough anime to fit a niche user (I don't consider myself a niche user, but that's another thing), you either recommend something entirely different that they haven't watched yet (in my case, that could be an otome or a josei), something from that niche that isn't well known and they don't have in their list even if it's not that good in your opinion (unless the niche is really limited, I wouldn't be helped by some anime tagged Shoujo-Ai in the database, but an iyashikei is another thing. That's what you tried to do.), or simply ask someone else/pass and wait for someone else to do the recommendation for you.

What you shouldn't do is recommend something based on a list made by another person you don't personally trust (and even if you trust them, I'd use this as a last resort or watch a couple episodes before recommending). I want a personal recommendation made by a user, if you're the one answering I want YOUR recommendation. If I wanted a critic video I would go ahead and watch it, I have no reason to ask for a recommendation for this item whatsoever, there are 33 easy challenges and I only need to do 8 (in fact, I could stick to what I had watched before the 14th of August when I finished the challenge for the first time).

I hope what I say doesn't feel too alien to you, I'm really picky when it comes to recommending things in the sense that I prefer a recommendation that isn't so good but was made personally to me than a good recommendation that I could have gotten elsewhere.

What if there was no anime that started airing the same day (27 Jan 2017)? Do I watch one that started airing on the date closest to the one in which I joined or do I just get some other challenge to replace this one instead? I did the random challenge selection.
I should just write RTFM and leave it there. But since I'm in a good mood, I will explain.

The challenge asks for an anime that aired on the same day of month you joined MAL. In your case it's 27th, so any anime that aired on 27th of any month/year is valid for this item.


Huh, that's a pretty weird wording then, it made me think of the exact date, not just the same day within a month in any month of any year. Either way, thanks.

One more question and I promise to stop bothering people. I'm not sure if I understand:

(51) Watch a completed anime with a popularity of or lower than #2,001

correctly. Would something like Claymore whose popularity number is #100-something (which is obviously lower than #2,001) be valid for this?

I think they mean just the opposite.

The more anime popular is, the higher the number. I think you should look for something more than 2001. (2002, 3000 and so on).

Exammples:
Switch (2721)
Ou Dorobou Jing (2305)
Wagaya no Oinari-sama. (2403)
Nishi no Yoki Majo: Astraea Testament (3414)
Ginyuu Mokushiroku Meine Liebe (3775)
Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan (2118)
Shining Tears X Wind (2234)

No, I wasn't offended by any means, I appreciate that you sent me a recommendation, it's just that it wasn't what I was looking for. Sorry if I made you feel that way, that wasn't my intention at all. I just like giving responses to things addressed to me, and maybe giving you a few pointers about things to check when making a recommendation (at least what I like doing with them).

In general, someone with a PtW consisting of not yet aired anime, sequels to things they've watched, a couple shorts and only a handful of other anime is going to watch every anime in there at some point, so recommending from there is a bit absurd. Someone with a large PtW most likely adds everything they're interested in there, so recommending from their PtW may help them prioritise and make it thinner.

If you've not seen enough anime to fit a niche user (I don't consider myself a niche user, but that's another thing), you either recommend something entirely different that they haven't watched yet (in my case, that could be an otome or a josei), something from that niche that isn't well known and they don't have in their list even if it's not that good in your opinion (unless the niche is really limited, I wouldn't be helped by some anime tagged Shoujo-Ai in the database, but an iyashikei is another thing. That's what you tried to do.), or simply ask someone else/pass and wait for someone else to do the recommendation for you.

What you shouldn't do is recommend something based on a list made by another person you don't personally trust (and even if you trust them, I'd use this as a last resort or watch a couple episodes before recommending). I want a personal recommendation made by a user, if you're the one answering I want YOUR recommendation. If I wanted a critic video I would go ahead and watch it, I have no reason to ask for a recommendation for this item whatsoever, there are 33 easy challenges and I only need to do 8 (in fact, I could stick to what I had watched before the 14th of August when I finished the challenge for the first time).

I hope what I say doesn't feel too alien to you, I'm really picky when it comes to recommending things in the sense that I prefer a recommendation that isn't so good but was made personally to me than a good recommendation that I could have gotten elsewhere.


Would that mean it's better to just not recommend something at all if you have nothing meaningful to recommend in the first place, even if you mean it well?

Since you have a yuri signature and some yuri-friendly anime in your favourites, you may want to watch Maria-sama ga Miteru for that one. Apart from that, I've used Azumanga Daioh and Sailor Moon for that item, but examples aren't really hard to come by, especially if you don't mind watching older anime. Idol and mecha shows also frequently have a lot of main characters, most of which have vaild hair colours, so you can do your research from there.

It really depends. If I had to recommend someone with 1.3K anime watched, with most of it from a genre I'm not familiar with, I'd probably pass or ask for help. In most cases, though, something can be done. I doubt you haven't watched anything worthwhile to recommend someone like me, with an anime count practically the same range as yours.

Maybe it's because I'm intimidating in some way (I'm a challenge helper who seems to be always in bad mood judging from my comment section and my scores are kinda low compared to most users), but I can see some anime you have watched and I already had an eye on, like the aforementioned Shoujo Shuumatsu and, to a much lesser extent, Sora yori, or even Kemono Friends. I could even say that you like more or less the same type of shows that I do, but maybe with more of a shounen-oriented mindset.

In tasks requiring popularity lower than 2000, 5000 etc, does it mean to watch more popular shows (having smaller popularity rank) or less popular (having larger popularity rank)

Less popular.

Watch a completed anime with a popularity of or lower than #2,001 - needs a total duration of 16 minutes or more; placed in popularity as #2,001, #2,002, #2,003 and so on; state the popularity it had when you finished

Sadly, I have to withdraw. I just returned from a ½-year hiatus, so trying to finish would be nuts.
If anybody has my list as reference to their challenge, please take notice.
