@symeon_a

Your challenge does not fit the main criteria:

At least ONE of the series used on the four main items must have:
　— 10 episodes or more (of any duration) or
　— 4 episodes or more (20 minutes or more per episode)

@YayakoChii Replaced Pokemon XY SP: Road to Kalos with Lalala Lala-chan and changed ending date to Oct 5th. Thank you for your work!

@symeon_a

Your challenge post has not been edited since Oct 1st, so you probably forgot to save the changes. Please fix it.

@YayakoChii My bad, fixed it!

@cappuccinoangel

You can't use Hinamatsuri and Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu. Movie: Spain-hen. You started watching them before the challenge started.
The challenge starts at the same time for everyone, Oct 1 in UTC -4 time zone, that should be around Oct 1, 1 pm in your time zone.

@symeon_a

Please don't cross out the anime, delete it entirely. And you linked the wrong anime, so please fix that.

@YayakoChii All fixed

@YayakoChii Sorry, time zones totally slipped my mind! Replacing Hinamatsuri with Ansatsu Kyoushitsu: 365-nichi no Jikan, and Dakaretai Otoko movie with Mashle. Both anime I've watched today so changed the challenge end date to October 6. Thank you!

@cappuccinoangel

Neither of those anime has a start and end date listed, please fix it!

@YayakoChii Fixed!!

@NekoEvie

We have noticed that the gap between some of the updated episodes are consistently shorter than the episode duration, mainly the episodes of Yuusei Shounen Papii which should be 25 minutes per episode, but you updated each of the episodes in a 15 minutes time frame. Angel Beats! Specials second episode is questionable too, as it's duration is 29 minutes but you added it 19 minutes after the first one.
Please explain what exactly happened. Unfortunately, if there is no valid reason for this, you will be asked to replace these shows.

@YayakoChii

I tend to watch older shows at 1.25-1.5x speed when it's otherwise too slow to keep my attention, as well as skipping intros and outros. This is what I did for Yussei Shounen Papii. If this is not permitted for monthlies I can make an effort to use shows I watch at a more standard pace.

Angel Beats! Specials, being 2 episodes, I tend to be awkward getting my updates in when it's only 2 episodes, especially when fully on my phone, so other than the usual intro and outro skips if applicable, I couldn't definitively say how the timing lined up exactly. I may have watched at 1.25 to finish before starting work that morning as it was a Thursday before 8am my time. My other special that day was watched after finishing work.

If neither of these are valid I will replace with something else and basically submit later this month.

Edit: 15 minutes tracks, if I'm skipping first minute of OP and last minute of ED, then (25 - 2) / 1.5 = 15.33

@Jhiday

You stated Oct 7th as your challenge end date but you finished Buzzer Beater and Mononoke movie on the 8th, so please change it to that.
