2020 Anime Watching Challenge - Discussion (OPEN until NOV 30)

Ylienna said:
Hey, I'm wondering if "Free!: Dive to the Future Episode 0" is a viable choice for the "Watch an anime that's tagged as Sports and features an Olympic Sport" requirement

I would also appreciate it if you could recommend me some anime for the following requirement: "(S.21) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread'.

Housefly said:
Heyo,
looking for recommendations for S.21. Can be from my PTW or not, but please avoid anime already tagged as AWC20 as I'll be using them for other sections! :)

Also, in regards to S.28 (non-alphabetic), all the example characters are special characters (like stars, hearts etc). Are the more common characters such as - ? _ . valid? Looking to see if "Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen" would be a valid entry.

I was wondering, if you had put an anime as dropped/on-hold from last year, but restarted it again this year, would that still be valid?

Do this anime Teekyuu count as an Olympic Sport?

Hey, could someone kindly give me some recommendations for S.21? Doesn't have to be on my PTW. Thanks in advance!

I am still somewhat confused on what Iyashikei is.

Is Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou considered an Iyashikei?

dierubikdie said:

Iyashikei is basically comfy and relaxing. Violet Evergarden has a bit too much drama to be considered Iyashikei. Here's a list of stuff that would qualify.

Question regarding B.09 Watch an anime that began airing between 2016 and 2019.

Is it okay to watch Assasins Pride? It started airing Oct. 10th 2019 and finished Dec. 26th 2019.

Sorry if it's a stupid question but English isn't my first language.

EfiChan said:

Seems right. It just means it aired anywhere between 2016 and 2919. I doubt there are many animes that started in 2016 and ended in 2019.

Question for B.14 Watch an anime with a popularity lower than #700 and a total duration of 16 minutes or more.

Should it be like 702 etc. that's acceptable or should it be like 698?

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Watch an anime with a popularity lower than #700 and a total duration of 16 minutes or more — state the popularity it had when you finished; placed in popularity as #701, #702, #703 and so on

The challenge item list in the main thread gives explanations for most items:

A_Fine_Egg said:
For any of the challenges that use "Favorite Anime" - for example, B.26, S.05, or S.07, is it okay if we use different anime that are all on our Top 10 list? Or do we have to specifically choose recommendations/anime related to the anime we put at the top of the list? For example, I use one anime for B.26, then a different anime for S.05, a different anime for S.07, and they are all in my Top 10.

spacecraft said:


I'm very thankful for the quick answer so thank you!

dierubikdie said:

Alright, so first of all, you've somehow deleted the final [/list] and [/spoiler] tags from your signup form, which is why your list numbers aren't working. Please copy the following and paste it at the very end of your entire post:That will fix your list numbering, and put everything into a nice big spoiler the way it's supposed to be.

I would also recommend you go through and delete all of the ✔'s from your form; you don't have to do this now, but definitely do it before you complete the whole challenge.

Finally, to address your actual question: in general, it's usually better if you don't use the full link to every anime. What I mean is, instead of using this as your anime link:
cut off all that extra mess and just use the part that matters:This will fix your G.09 problem.

Oh, and a side note, use this as your post link:

kiv7 said:
I deliberately deleted this -> ([[/ list] [/ spoiler]) because I feel more comfortable choosing the phone interface which unfortunately does not work when I add these tags 😅 I don't like using the computer interface I find it more complicated and uncomfortable to use
And I used this - >> ✔ because the color is more clear and I can easily find the anime that I finished
Anyway, thank you, I will try to fix the link 🙏

Is the character Bam from "Kami no Tou" valid as a non-japanese character?
Thanks in advance ^.^

Ylienna said:
Hey! I have a question regarding the requirement: "(S.07) Watch an anime that began airing the same season and year as your favorite anime".
Is it fine to use a movie for it?
The movie I watched is "Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni" and my favorite anime is "3-gatsu no Lion".

Aeradae said:

Yes that would work - you can use any anime that comes up when you search for Fall 2016 (when 3-gatsu aired) on the Seasonal Anime page.

Berry-Lolita357 said:
Does anyone know an anime with at least five openings and/or endings? There aren't any that are coming to mind at the moment. 😅

ManuelB87 said:
Hello
I wanted to use Collette "Colle-chan" for item (S.30) Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese
She is definitely not japanese but her nationality is never mentioned i think.
Can i still use her?
If i can what do i write for nationality?

From your PTW:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/35968 - Wotakoi, geeky romance, love it!
https://myanimelist.net/anime/4081 - Natsume, just great.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/6547 - Angel Beats! Second anime I've watched. I LOVE the OP so much too!!!
https://myanimelist.net/anime/24765 - School Live! You'd think Horror and Slice of Life don't go together, but this series proved me wrong.

Not from your PTW:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/39468 - Ascendance of a Bookworm, as a bookworm myself, and a fan of SoL, I can't do nothing but love it.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/31953 - New Game! I stumbled upon this for AWC 2016, and am so glad I did.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/477 - Aria the Animation, wholesome and calming. From OP until ED.

I think you would like this. I loved it and I noticed it wasn't in your list. I hope this helps.

Season 1 & 2 of Jojo's

Aeradae said:

She's been living in Japan for at least 7 years so she would be considered Japanese and therefore not valid for this item.
