Hello! Would Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2 be good for this item?
G.27 Watch an anime with at least 2 human children as main characters

The wiki says they're both 12-14 but I don't know if they're 12 in this season.

That's cutting it really close, seeing as how they also start a new school year in season 2. I would strongly recommend not using this anime for this item.

Hello there.
In September I made an account on kitsu and I stupidly connected it with MAL, which led to all my titles to be changed, from the watching to the dates of completion. And I wanted to know if that will have any implication on the challenge even with all the items having the proper dates in the form..today I even added the started and finished dates in the advanced options, but i wanted to confirm if this would be a problem to the final inspection and if it would count or not.

Hello,

If you've manually added the dates back into your Completed List it should be fine ^^
Your watching history should still be intact (Go to the anime -> Edit -> History), so if it was ever necessary (which it probably won't be unless something looks really weird), we could ask you to provide screenshots of that later.

Alright, thank you so much. I wanted a backup website and ended up making a mess >.<'
I did check and the history is intact. I'll still leave a note on the form for the inspector to know just in case and if asked, I'll add the prints to each item.
Once again, thank you very much ^^

Looks like all the anime you used are valid.

I'd personally take a screenshot for B.06, since Studio PuYUKAI is so close to 30 and has been busy lately. That's just me being paranoid though.

Also, use this link for your form:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1818368&show=650#msg58939525

It won't mess up if someone before you deletes their post.

Yes, you could finish your challenge on Silver Medalist.
But to do that, you would have to complete the required 20 items and as I see in your post, you've watched 16 so far.
So you either need to watch 4 more anime for Silver or you can turn in your challenge as Bronze Medalist.

To finish the challenge and get your post checked, you need to make a new post in the Sign Up thread with a turn-in form. You will find this form in this post: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1818368&show=0#msg58895926 under Turning in.

As a side note - please, move the anime titles to the new lines before turning in (just like it was initially). The current formatting gives us more work while inspecting the challenge. ;)

Hello!

I can't believe that it's already November 1st, where did the time go?? That means that the AWC 2020 turn-in deadline is fast approaching. If you haven't done so yet, please make sure to submit your turn-in form by 11:59PM on November 30th (PST time).

Once the thread has been closed we unfortunately will not be able to accept any more forms.

If you submitted your turn-in form before October 06 you should have been sent an initial PM from AWC_mod by now. If you did not get one, please let us know ASAP.

If you have been asked to do corrections please make sure to do them ASAP - remember that if you did not receive a [Completed] PM from AWC_mod you are not done yet and won't see your name on the Completed Users List. Those that replied to PMs within the last few days, you're fine and we'll get back to you soon.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we're here to help ^^

Hello,

How restrictive is G.25 with respect to exact series?

For example - participant's forum set has "Hero Academia"[sic] and I've watched "Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season"

It would be hard to decipher which season the user was referring to with just "Hero Academia" --

Much less, I would be surprised if people explicitly specified sources like Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season, To LOVE-Ru Darkness 2nd OVA, D.C.III: Da Capo III, Detective Conan Movie 22: Zero The Enforcer, or Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki 4th Season.

Most commonly, people use the parent series as the umbrella for all subsequent entries.

Watching the direct sequel of a series in the forum set should be valid right?

It depends on the content present on their forum picture/signature. If it is a character, said character must be part of the cast listed on MAL for an anime you want to use.

So in this case, it sounds like recurring characters would be ok. Seeing that Midoriya Izuku is and will likely be part of every season of Hero Academia.

Gotcha, it is character based -- thank you!

Hi everyone, last year I turned in my sign up with the hopes of it being perfect.
Turns out silly me provided a screenshot for a challenge but I didn't actually put in the number for popularity for example thus ... "not perfect"

So now I'd like to ask if someone could check my sign up before I turn it in to see if I've made any mistakes, pretty sure it's all fine but just to be sure.

Sign up post

Thanks in advance.

(Also I know this basically means I get to have my sign up inspected twice lol, just eager to get that "Torch-bearer" title)

B.25 is invalid. The anime needs at least 11 episodes.
S.04 is invalid. There are no studios listed.
For S.10, you need to list the competed members, not total members. You can find the number on the anime's Stats tab.
For S.29, I think you meant to say that the show takes place in 2120 instead of 2020.

I've only checked to make sure your items and screenshots are valid. Doing a full inspection of your form to see if it qualifies for Torch-Bearer is not something we will do before your actual turn-in, sorry. It's not fair to other participants.

Oh whoops, for B.25 meant to put in Gintama Enchousen there, not the movie.
For S.04 - I thought producers were considered the same as Studio as there's no option to look for studios only, just this link.
I guess I'll have to watch a new anime, thankfully this is in the Silver medalist group so it wont mess up with the final date.
For S.10 - Yes you're right, will fix the screenshot as it's still valid.
For S.29 - Again correct, fixing that too.

And yeah, that's what I wanted, just a quick glance to see if there were major mistakes.
Thanks for pointing them out!

Well, the said person has the Pokemon named "Lucario" on their forum picture and the movie I'm gonna add is about Lucario. I guess this would count?

If you are done, congratulations and hope you're enjoying a well-deserved break until the 2021 AWC :D

Don’t worry, your form wasn’t skipped, we have a large queue to work with so inspections may take some time. We typically check them by turn in order, but some challengers still have corrections that we get back to and have had to update their finish date accordingly, which is why later finish dates appear on the Successfully Completed list. I hope that explains it, and don’t worry, your form will be inspected soon.

You don't need to do a turn-in; you can just edit your sign-up post. Paste this code to replace your post's content:

Or to be honest, you can just leave your sign-up post the way it is if you want; it simply won't be inspected or added to the completed list. As long as you don't delete the post, either way is fine.

I also have a suggestion for the anime watching challenge.If you're a sub watcher watch a dub anime and if you're dub watcher watch a sub anime.This challenge is fit for the diamond medalist don't you think?

Yes, you can watch standard length anime for those items (23-24 is more than 16 :) ).

Interesting idea but totally unverifiable. We are already assuming that participants really watched what they have on their completed lists (one could just add stuff there and we have no way of verifying it was actually watched). For this item we have no way of verifying if someone is a dub/sub watcher or if they did watch a dub/sub anime.

Technically you can start any time in 2021 but it usually takes a little bit for the official post to get updated and everyone to start posting their sign-ups.

The 2020 Anime Watching Challenge - Sign Up thread was closed off this morning (over in PST land), which means the challenge is officially over! Thank you everyone for participating, and we hope that you had fun. Please look forward to next year's challenge in a month or so.

For those that turned-in during November we will do our best to get the forms inspected as soon as possible, so please be patient. You will get a PM from the AWC_mod when it has been inspected - it will either say you are done or ask you to do corrections.

If you did get a PM and need to watch a new anime to replace an invalid, you are still allowed to do that until December 31st. If you used airing seasonals in your challenge that will be finished in December, please remember to update your Challenge Finish Date accordingly once you've watched the final episodes.

We will still be around if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find us on our Discord server.
