Watch an anime with at least 3 human adults as main characters

Watch an anime that has two or more adaptations listed under Related Anime

Any recommendations for these two items? I would prefer something around 12 episodes long. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm unsure what the start date means. "Whatever date you started watching the first anime you use for the challenge."

Can I use any anime I watched this year and put down the earliest?

I have a list of stuff I've watched that are valid for this item, but you've already seen them all. All I can recommend is to look through 2020 anime, as several of them were delayed at some point by COVID, and would have skipped weeks. Make sure you check the Episodes tab on each anime. That's where we look at the dates.

(28) Watch an anime that began airing the same day you joined MAL


I joined on a 23rd day according to my timezone, but it was still the 22nd in the US timezone. I completed the item for a day 23, is it valid, or participants should align to the same timezone? Should I provide a screenshot to prove it's valid?


Also, I almost completed my challenge and I think that no item of mine was affected by the update of genres/themes/demographics. I would like to have the items checked by a staff member, just to be 100% sure. What should I do?

Yes, it must be your local time. The timezone information on the sign-up form is used to determine if this and similar items are valid if we see a different date (due to timezone difference).

The only change that could affect your items is the magic genre removal or if you've started watching item #76 on or after September 15th. Please refer to this post for more details.

We have a list of all the anime that had the magic genre (you can see it in this post) and will use it to verify the validity of an item. Other genres were just move to different categories and we can handle that, so there is nothing to worry about.

So there is the time zone included in the sign up form, admins thought about everything. Good to know.

I guess it's probably pretty impossible for me to participate - I have 1,786 completed series (29,367 episodes) on my list already, so I'm pretty sure that I would not be able to find stuff to watch for the challenges. Maybe it's just me, but excluding my extensive watch history seems a little unfair. Or am I misunderstanding what the rules say?

I had twice your number of completed anime (3,559) when I started up the challenge, and I still managed to do it at the maximum level with a TV-only restriction, so no it's not impossible to do at your level, merely quite challenging.

Here are a few things to keep in mind :
- While you would be starting up now with less than two months left to complete the challenge, you can actually use anything you started watching this year (from Jan 1st, 2021).
- Unless you're self-challenging yourself with further restrictions, you can use anything in the MAL database as long as it fits the requirements. Yes, even 2-minute-long specials/ONAs/Music Videos.
- The easiest difficulty for the challenge can be achieved with as few as 15 anime. You don't have to fill a full 64-anime card.

QUESTION
I finished (16) Watch an anime without a Licensor listed back in march. However upon checking things again now, I noticed there is a licensor added. I did not make a screenshot at the time. Would a screenshot from wayback machine count with a capture made on may 17? The capture is from after I did the challenge and still shows no licersor at that time.

That's fine. Just put the Wayback link where you would have put the screenshot link.

Hi!

I was wondering if I can submit my card with some series not 100% completed as long as they are not part of my bingo rows/columns? For example, I decided to start some boxes on my card (example: #88) but now I realize there is no way I can finish the rows with those boxes before the end of November. If not, can I just remove the unfinished anime on my card?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide :)

We do ask that you remove all items not used by your difficulty when you turn in. For example, if your level only requires four complete lines, then you should remove all the items in your form that are not part of those four lines.

Thank you for letting me know that! I somehow missed that memo - and I have quite a few completed that aren't part of my 4-in-a-row rows. Thank you for your help! :D

"(Optional) Complete our [url=]inspections feedback form[/url] and let us know how we can improve this process.
ใ€€ใ€€— Will be available later on during January/February, depending on the first ones to turn in."


Is there a feedbacl form? Or does January/February mean 2022 when everyone has finished their challenge? I am just wondering because last year I remember there was a feedback form.

If there are no plans of supplying a feedback form, maybe the paragraph should be removed because it might look confusing?

And while I am at it I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone on the challenge team for their hard work they are contributing to the yearly challenge. I bet there are lots of unpleasant things to deal with as well. For example users asking the same quesitons over and over again (like me, because the question above for sure didn't came up for the first time just now - sorry)

Since MAL did their big overhaul last month, we've modified the rules a bit for that item. Anything listed under "Genres", "Themes", or "Demographics" will count towards the six minimum needed for item 77.
    For example, Monster Musume would be valid:
      Genres: Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, Ecchi
      Theme: Harem
      Demographic: Seinen
That should make your search a bit easier.

You can read this post for more info about how the overhaul affects the challenge.

All anime used for the challenge must be watched entirely in 2021, so if you watched some of it before 2021 you won't be able to use it for any challenge item. (The only exception is item 100)
