According to some cursory research, while the Russo family did immigrate from Italy, that was several decades before the start of the story, and Ladd himself was born in Chicago. So, American.

(Same for most of the cast, since everything happens in the US. On the other hand, a good chunk of the main characters can't quite count as human, so be careful about who you select for that one requirement. Ladd Russo is fine, though.)

Now that makes a lot of sense! Thank you so much.

Would Diamond. 3. ''Watch an anime where a female character is voiced by a male voice actor'' also apply to Popuko or Pipimi from Pop Team Epic, because they are both voiced not only voiced by a male voice actor, but also by a female voice actress?

I want to sign up but I don't know what was the first anime I watched this year was. I looked at bronze mdeal requirements, it looks like I completed it but I don't know when I completed the requirements. I was only watching anime and not looking at the forum. Sorry for asking these questions this late in the challenge.

You should be able to sort your completed list by Last Updated and see if you can find the first one that way. Looks like Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2 was your first anime completed in 2020 (assuming you weren't adding anime you had actually watched earlier in the year.)

From there you'll have to approximate when you started each anime for the sign-up form.

I'm about to turn in my signup form soon but now that I double checked my list I noticed that some of the items (statistics-types especially, such as anime score upon completion) have different values now than what they were back when I completed them for the challenge, and I did not take screenshots for proof for the items where it was not explicitly required. Will this affect the verification process somehow? Are you able to check how the statistical data has changed over the course of this year to ascertain the veracity of the score/member count etc. that I have on my form?

If the items are still valid, there won't be any problems.

If the items are invalid now, we will try to check Wayback Machine. But if the snapshots there are before your watching finish date, the items will be marked as invalid.

Ok, so for example (B.13) Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or above and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more would still be valid as long as the score is still above 8 even though the exact value has changed over time? Does this affect Torch bearer though?

Yes, it will still be valid. The difference can affect torch-bearer only when what you've stated on the form is different from what you have on the screenshot (if you have one).

Is Hellsing Ultimate valid for Diamond. 7.'' Watch an anime with 2 or more episodes that are each 50 minutes or more'' ?
I have seen that a few episodes are actually shorter than 50 minutes (I think the shortest one is 42 minutes long), but the entry on myanimelist states the episode duration as 50 minutes per episode.
Would the anime therefore still be valid for this item?

Fate/stay night is listed as an alternative version, so it would not be valid as a stand-alone.

"Watch an anime that began airing the same season and year as your favorite anime — your favorite anime" "must be listed on your profile; if your favorite changes, change this accordingly"

Does this mean I can choose from one of my listed favorites, or does only the one currently at the top of the list count?

Is Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2 valid for: "(D.13) Watch an anime where one of the characters has more favorites than the anime"? Levi has 89,516 and season 2 has 13,619, I am asking to be sure that there is no problem if I use a character of an anime that has multiple seasons.

All your options were stated in the message you've got from the AWC_Mod
If you have any invalids you will need to:
  1. Keep the same anime but move it to a previously unused item.
    Note: Do NOT move previously valid items or you will invalidate them
  2. Keep the same item but replace the anime with a previously unused one.
  3. Keep the same item and watch a new anime after your Challenge Finish Date.
You can't watch a new anime for an item you did not use for the challenge. Or for an item you did use and move the other anime to the item that was invalidated.

I am so scrapped on time to finish the challenge,
I need help to fill in my last few spots,
I just want to know if this is correct:

(B.27) Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
[Character: Allmight| Profession: Hero]

┐( ̄~ ̄)β”Œ
I know it means someone who gets paid to do what they do best,
I don't remember it specifying if Allmight gets paid to be a hero.
I just want to make sure.

Alright, I have several questions so this going to be a long post, most of them just to be 100% sure.


- If I've had some challenges done but forgot to take screenshots at the time would I able to make a screenshot right now and use that, even if it's months later? - (As long as it still fits the challenge)

- For challenge [S.28] ... Watch an anime with a non-alphabet character in the main title
I know the challenge specifies the use of alphabet characters not being allowed but I wanted to be certain if ":" is allowed, so for example this anime; Ao no Exorcist: Ura Ex

- For challenge [S.29] ... Watch an anime with at least 3 human adult as main characters
Can I use Psycho-Pass 3: First Inspector, since this entry and season 3 as a whole takes place during 2020 and their respective wiki's state that the two youngest MC's "Shindou, Arata" and "Ignatov, Kei Mikhail" were born in 2094 and "Azusawa, Kouichi" was borin in 2074.
or
Can I use this entry Koukaku Kidoutai: SAC_2045 since even though I can't specifically find their age I'm fairly certain all 4 main characters "Kusanagi, Motoko" "Batou" "Togusa" and "Aramaki, Daisuke" are human adults.

- For challenge [S.30] ... Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese
Can I use either Cheng-Long Liu, since it states he came from the Taiwan (China) branch?
or
Kei Mikhail Ignatov since it states here that he in "February 2107 – Obtains Japanese Citizenship"

Yes, if the anime is still valid for an item, you can make a screenshot now. If there is a difference between what you have on your form right now and what you would have on the screenshot, then I would suggest to state it as "xxx when started/completed; yyy as of date_of_screenshot (screenshot_link)".

If you can find some source stating when the action of Psycho-Pass 3 takes place, those characters will be valid for the item. SAC is not valid because some of the characters are cyborgs.

Thanks for the answers!

- For Psycho-Pass season 3, the timeline is stated here on the psycho wiki, season 3 starting in 2020.

- I thought the definition of a cyborg is a human with mechanical parts but I guess it's easier to just keep the item as "fully human" only.

- Cheng-long is in fact human, yes.
