On an independent note, the C&C challenge isn't really playable right now. It's thread states: "Quick Reply Disabled for Non-Club Members", and C&C is a private club with restrictive admission rules.


You don't have to be a member of the C&C club. Since that challenge thread is part of the Anime Watching Challenges Club, that message only means that you haven't joined the Anime Watching Challenges Club itself.

Need a confirmation or a list of valid options for D.03 if anyone has it. (Watch an anime where a female character is voiced by a male voice actor)

For example does this character count for it?

Hello! I have a question.
Is this okay:


So basically, I'm watching the first season of a series for a challenge, and the second season for another challenge in Bronze. I'm guessing it's okay?

Also, can I get recommendations for these?

(S.21) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread

(G.21) Watch an anime with 4 episodes or more recommended to you by a challenge team member

I'm looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you very much :)

Bronze:

"13. Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or above and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more — state the score it had when you finished"

"Anime = animated work; any type unless otherwise specified"

This item says an episode duration of 16 minutes or more, but shouldn't it be, total duration of 16 or more?

Either episode should be total duration, or it should say anime "series"

Does a movie Count?

Thank you for the great recommendations! All of these are anime that I've been planning to watch but have been procrastinating to. I'll need to think hard to decide on one of these :p

A movie is fine, yes. It can be any type, as long as the episode duration is 16 minutes or more. If there's only one episode, that's fine, as long as it's 16 minutes or more.

Throughout the challenge in general, "anime" means anything that has an entry on MAL. There are a few exceptions, like B.01, which specifically states you have to watch an ONA. Or G.01, which requires a movie.

(S.05) Watch an anime by a director that made one of your Favorite Anime — they have to be a director of any kind in both the anime used and your favorite


just to make sure I'm understanding this: if a director is an "episode director" in one anime, they have to be an episode director in the other too, right? they can't be a director in one anime and episode director in the other (for example)?

No they can be a different type of director for both shows (Ex. An 'Episode Director' in one and 'Director' in another)

As for 27. Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field, would Maina from Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu work? She's an underground idol, not a major one, so would she be considered as a pro? Also, she seems to be a schoolgirl, so not sure if idols in school earn money from idoling, any help?

@Stripes, how about Null Peta?

(G.15) Watch an anime tagged with your favorite genre by weighted score according to Anime+ that is rated less than 6.00

I'm unclear about that "rated less than 6" part. You mean the rated less than 6 is the genre or that the anime you watch for this item has to be less than 6?

I am planning on watching Uchuu Senkan Tiramisù, not sure if it's good or not yet though.

The anime has to be ranked lower than 6, an example would be this one:

For example if I want to do bronze, silver and gold, Do I put them in my initial post or can I edit them in later?

You can do it either way. As long as they're all there when you turn in your challenge. Many people go ahead and put in all the tiers at once to make planning out their items easier.

Looks like i'll come here often to ask some questions lol

(b.20) Watch a completed anime scored 10 or 9 by a participant that posted on the first or second page — state their username and initial post number; link to their post; the user must have finished watching their anime before you started watching it

I don't know how to create a link to the user's post, is it meant to be number you get when you quote someone? Could i ask for example on how to create that link?

Isn't using Byosoku 5 Centimeter as a anime featured in an article a stretch? Technically speaking it's mentioned but it's not the main theme of discussion.

Technically it could be considered a bit of a stretch, yeah. But since the article is listed under Byousoku 5 Centimeter's Featured tab it would still be valid.

When we are doing our list - for example, for Bronze Medalist Difficulty -, and we are finishing the required 20 anime entries in 28, must we delete the other 8 before start the next rank challenge for a better / cleaner page? It is optional or we need to let them stay in there, in blank?

I’m assuming you’re asking that you’d do 28 of them in Bronze difficulty? Nope. Those 8 are carried on to Silver. You have a choice of those 28 under Bronze so that you can pick what you do; you only need to complete 20 of them to finish it. Then continue to Silver.
If you want to turn it in and haven’t finished Silver, then that’s the only time you’d ever need to remove them.
Just use those 8 for Silver and it’s fine. Just make sure that you started those 8 after you finished the other 20.

Hello! I have a question about challenges based on my Favorite Anime.

For example in
(S.05) Watch an anime by a director that made one of your Favorite Anime
This sounds like "Favorite Anime" can be any anime in my favorites.

And for (S.07) Watch an anime that began airing the same season and year as your favorite anime
This sounds like it's talking about one specific anime like I should have a statement somewhere "this is my absolute favorite anime".

So for the challenges talking about Favorite Anime, can they always be any anime in my favorites or should I pick one anime from my favorites and always complete the challenges based on that one? I hope I was clear with my question :)

Items referencing your favorite anime can be anime listed in your favorites on your profile. You'll want make sure that any favorite anime that you use for the challenge should stay in your favorites until you complete your challenge and it's inspected.

Depends on which restriction you want, if any. If you want no restriction, just put N/A

A restriction means you can *ONLY* watch anime of a certain type, or a certain duration, or a certain genre, etc. It's also possible to stack restrictions.
It's explained in more detail here under the extra titles spoiler.
