This challenge is really blooming! I'm looking forward to see everyone's lists.
And I could also use a recommendation from fellow challenge participant, if somebody could?

I'm not going to do this. I already watched more than 40 for the year, but I don't remember which ones - so it'll be a pain in the ass to find and allocate them to the challenge.

I would've considered participating if this was posted at the beginning of the year.

1.Does Winter 2015 anime count ?

2.Will Spring and next seasons anime count ?

2.Does anime(finished airing) that i started watching before the challenge announcement count?

Thanks.

Can someone recommend me an anime that focuses on friendship (non romantic). I've watched Isshuukan Friends already so anything like that.

BanzaiJedi said:
This looks like fun and should make 2015 even more interesting. I already have about half of the challenges filled out just from what I've seen since January so I should be able to complete it before December.

I got 'Precursor Killers' as the random trope, but it had no anime listed so I had to get a different trope. Got 'Laser Hallway' the second time, so it looks like I'll be watching 009-1 at some point. I might actually buy that on DVD, it's fairly cheap.

I could use a recommendation if someone has a spare minute. Something fairly obscure (but easily available online) would be appreciated.

Something I'm watching right now, Donten ni Warau, just came out recently but it hardly got any attention. In my opinion, it's extremely underrated.

BanzaiJedi said:


Thanks very much, it looks interesting.

quentariel said:
That trope-site was super fun to explore.
First I get something that didn't have any animes listed, but the second one was Berserk Button and there was so many to choose from. I ended up chosing to list DRRR in this, because I can't imagine more perfect example for a berserk button than a certain brute named Shizuo.

Watch an anime adapted from a novel, light novel or video game

Watch an anime that has a verb in its title

Syndiciate said:


Sorry You. :( I tried Doujin Work and it wasn't my style.

Any other suggestions?

I can't understand what my Husband is saying

ViolettSky said:


If everything else fails you can always watch Pupa to break the "rate something under 6" barrier

Syndiciate said:


Well I was trying to find an anime that fell under the second condition. Is Pupa a short series with under 15 minute episodes?

ViolettSky said:


Yes, that was my point :) It's a serious short series, but it's considered very very bad.

Syndiciate said:

Syndiciate said:
Tried that one too. Are there any short anime action series or something with a more serious tone?

Kineta said:
I think most short series are typically comedies or more slice of life style series. While Tentai Senshi Sunred isn't serious, it's a different style of comedy, should definitely have action, and perhaps might interest you more? Maybe have a look at Cromartie High School as well.

Note: I didn't watch either myself, was just hunting around a bit.

yazio said:
I have and neither really includes action (even one of the main points of Sunred is how overpowered the main character is compared to the monsters he "fights"). If you wanted an action/comedy short series, you might do better with Sexy Commando Gaiden.

As for short non-comedy series, you could try with Yami Shibai (no action though).

» Watch an anime that has a main character that is a professional in his field (e.g. doctor, detective)

Would Magic Kaito 1412 count? since he's a professional thief...but not sure since it's not a labour field.

» Watch an anime with a character voiced by one of your favorite seiyuu
