You have to use a ] to close the url link and insert a phrase that it links to (retype the titles basically or shorten them) then end with [/url]. It also generally helps to reference this page for formats

To rephrase it based on the structure you deleted too much of the place holder and you're supposed to type over the phrase "ANIME_TITLE". Only copy the anime page link where the actual MAL link is in the placeholder format (specifically the placeholder link that ends with ID_NUM).

Hi!

I have two questions to the Pdycho Pass series:
Bronze 27. : Does Sugo Teppei qualifies as professional? - He is a soldier at the start of the movie, but get fired ( and becomes an Enforcer) ?
https://myanimelist.net/anime/37441

What's the actual name of the movie below (i.e. do I have to use _ _)?
https://myanimelist.net/anime/37442/Psycho-Pass__Sinners_of_the_System_Case3_-_Onshuu_no_Kanata_ni%EF%BC%BF%EF%BC%BF

Thanks, 9bakeneko

https://myanimelist.net/anime/37441

From what I can tell, an "enforcer" is some sort of law enforcement official. If that's what he does as his job, then yeah it's valid.



The official title is whatever is here:

So the official title of this anime would be:
Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System Case.3 - Onshuu no Kanata ni__

All from your PTW list:

3-gatsu no Lion 2nd Season - a must watch, I suppose you saw the first season and I can boldly say the second is better
Cardcaptor Sakura - a classic shoujo , i don't know if you are a fan of the genre but it is really good, tho it is longer
Dororo - if you wanna see a good action/adventure/supernatural story I highly recommend this, a great story
Fruits basket - my personal fav shoujo story, I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of a good slice of life show
Hanasaku Iroha - a good slice of life/drama story
Hyouka - a mystery show, pretty unique and fun to watch
Kaichou wa Maid-sama! - a romcom
Toradora - one of the best if not the best romance story in anime

I was wanting to use Aggressive Retsuko (ONA) 2nd Season for the 2nd challenge in which the series has to have 10 or more episodes and 15 minutes or less per episode. I just finished and realized that this show's episodes are 16 minutes each. Can this extra minute be disregarded, or can I not use the show for this challenge.

It should be invalid.
However, you can just use it for another challenge instead. An example would be (B.06) Watch an anime by a studio with 5 to 30 anime in MAL's database.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding (B.18) Watch a listed Superhero or Iyashikei themed anime. On the links there are no lists to choose from apart from participants lists which are all different. Are we supposed to take one anime from their lists or are we supposed to find an anime with the theme? If we are supposed to find it, how can we prove it is for example Iyashikei anime considering this is not really a genre? I was thinking of using Gakuen Babysitters as an Iyashikei anime or perhaps Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 1: Futari no Hero for the superhero genre, would these count as valid?

I assumed that any anime with the "Super Power" genre would be valid for the Super Hero part of the challenge, correct me if I'm wrong. So Boku no Hero Academia should be valid.

Ok, so there are links to lists in the first post of both of the challenge pages, just follow the links and there's a bunch of anime to choose from, hope that helps :)
And both Gakuen Babysitters & Boku no Hero Academia are valid according to those lists.

Hey there,

I used Hetalia Axis Powers Movie: Paint it, White] for "(S.29) Watch an anime with at least 3 human adults as main characters." Is it valid??

and for (S.28) Watch an anime with a non-alphabet character in the main title" are - : -__ (those marks) valid?
Thanks in advance!! :>

Hey, so I realized that someone already asked this question in the FAQ, but I just wanted to clear something up. The question was if the challenge item wasn't specific in what type of anime (like ONA/Movie/Specials) than you would be able to used any for that entry. But is it alright to do it for ALL the entries? For example, for Bronze Medalist, there are only 1-2 items that specify which type, so could you in theory watch a movie for all the challenges that you need to complete (20) anyways?

(The only reason I ask this is because watching a 120 minute anime is easier than watching a 4 hour - 12 episode TV series and would make the challenge not really one, if you understand what I mean. Watching 70 movies/ 1 episode ONA/Specials would be a WHOLE lot easier than 70 anime series. Either way, I'm probably still going to not lazy-my-way with doing that method, but I just wanted to ask)

@L0ro
Have your read Silver Medalist Challenge List with Explanations ?
28. Watch an anime with a non-alphabet character in the main title — alphabetic character refers to "the conventional characters of the alphabet used to represent speech"; non-alphabet would be, for example: • ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ ♫ ♪ # @ and so on; excludes numerals
So to answer your question, yes, those will work.

@KychiumaNara564
Yes, you can use only movies (you can even make it a restriction).
There are some who used very short anime to already complete the challenge.

Good day,

I have a question relating to this challenge:
(B.22) Watch an anime with no Japanese words or phrases in the title
Would: Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale count towards that specific challenge? From what I can tell, it fills the criteria, however, I want to make absolutely certain by having conformation.

Thank you.

That's a nice PTW you have there, here are a few recommendations from it I consider outstanding w/r to quality or subject matter.

Long:
Versailles no Bara - Sparkling shoujo meets bloody history. There is a reason why we still talk about a 40 year old anime: Lady Oscar rocks.
Planetes - You have this priorized "low", but it deserves "high". Hard Sci-Fi meets Slice of Life, and incredibly human characters. One of a kind, underwatched, and brilliant.

Medium
Yuru Camp△ - One of the few instant Iyashikei classics of recent years.
Hibike! Euphonium - Kick-off of a fantastic francise in KyoAni quality, which becomes stronger over time. Make sure to watch the (superior) season 2 and the Liz and the Blue Bird movie after this.
Usagi Drop - As powerful as it is too short. 10/10 in my book. Make sure to watch the specials.
Bakemonogatari - Best. Francise. Ever. Not everybody likes it, but anybody should decide that first hand on what is a really strong first season.
Gunslinger Girl - Underrated and underwatched precious gem. A slow burning, existentialist, cruel masterpiece.

OVA / Movie
Tenshi no Tamago - One of the best art-house movies of all time, not only in anime.
Cossette no Shouzou - Early OVA by Akiyuki Shinbou (Madoka Magica, Monogatari, 3-gatsu no lion) in which much of his handwriting is visible already. I recommend it as the director's fanboy I am.

Enjoy!

I had a question on B.22: Watch an anime with no Japanese words or phrases in the title.

I would like to watch Dr. Stone for this one, but I was a little bit confused about the exact definition of the rules for this challenge item concerning names.

Since Goblin Slayer is not valid, I'm not sure whether I can use Dr. Stone or not. Although there is no charcter called Dr. Stone in the show, the title itself is phrased like a name.

Thank you in advance for clearing up my confusion!

Goblin Slayer is technically the character's name as it's listed on MAL; so since the character's name is in the title, it wouldn't be valid.

  • Each anime can only be used once within the challenge.

Rewatching is not allowed for the AWC unfortunately. You can also only use any one MAL entry for one challenge item.

Nope, we used to have that exception but not this year. If it is hentai/yuri/yaoi, you can just use another challenge item for the section.

I have a question, i started the challenge without choosing a restriction but now that i halfway Bronze Medalist I kinda want to add the TV restriction because all the items that i have watched until now fit that restriction. Can I add the TV restriction or it is too late to do it?

Yes, you can add the restriction now.

(G.20) Critics and Connoisseurs Challenge
Linked as https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1712478 from (G.20)

The link URL's content was recently edited, and broke in the cause. There used to be a challenge BBCode template with the current (74) entries, it's gone. There are only user copies on the thread page left, with 70 to 74 entries (i.e. many are outdated). There is no easy / official way to decide if an anime is elegible for AWC2020 fom this.

The BBCode template which is gone used to list all 74 anime which currently are the clubs "Anime Relations" section. I presume this is the set (G.20) refers to. However, since the edit this cryptic draft definition replaced the BBCode ...


[X] Series
[X] Series
[X] Series
[X] Series
[X] Series

(etc.; get the current listing visiting the affiliated club or the Hall of Fame)


Requests:
  1. Bring back the BBCode template for the C&C challenge, in full. Adding "difficulties" can be done externally in prose, there is no need to edit the original 74 items list for that. This is independent of AWC2020.
  2. Replace the URL pointing to the C&C challenge with a link to their club page and clearly state that Anime Relations defines the set useable in (G.20).


I had copied the C&C template to my profile page before the edit, because only club members can use the official thread so I couldn't maintain it there. I can provide the old BBCode in case it went missing.

First, please don't double post. Edit your last reply on the previous one. Second, there's no direct relation/affiliation between the club and the MAL challenge.. Also you should mainly and only look at the first post for info, since it will usually be stated there what you need. Then, if we take your request as something we should do, I will ask you to reconsider and read over that thread again.

You said "There is no easy / official way to decide if an anime is elegible for AWC2020 fom this.", but there is. It states that to "get the current listing visiting the affiliated club or the Hall of Fame". > "since the edit this cryptic draft definition replaced the BBCode"
Yes, it could probs be clearer but you can get what anime is valid via those two links:
The anime relations from the club https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=2913
Or any anime listed in their HoF http://anime.jhiday.net/hof/challenge/criticsConnoisseurs
Which tbh I don't know how clearer you want the anime that's valid to be presented. Making an exclusive list for this challenge of something that's already available is unnecessary. If by template you mean for us to provide you with an easy way to copy the links, you can do so via HoF. You shouldn't need to be a member of the club to use the site. Your second request is fair enough, we will see how to address this and make it more clear for those that might have trouble understanding.

Thanks for the feedback~

(G.24) Watch an anime with a year in the title

MAL sometimes adds years to theatrical anime titles for disambiguation, for example:Obviously this is a technical detail of MAL's database organization, the anime themselves would not use a year in their title(s). Would the second list item from the example be valid for (G.24)?

The double post was an intentional decision. I'm a big fan of editing vs. double posting myself, but here two original posts for two unrelated requests seem to be much clearer and easier to reply to / handle.

Hi,

is it ok to use the items used for the 2020 monthly challanges ( provided that they fit a challange item)?

Thanks,

Yeah, the second one should be fine

Our challenge isn't related to the club one. It should be fine to overlap, so long it fits.

Thanks a lot for clarifying the C&C challenge posting, much better now. I'd ask for two more edits, if possible.

1) Remove the link to http://anime.jhiday.net/hof/challenge/criticsConnoisseurs and fix the list http://anime.jhiday.net/hof/challenge/criticsConnoisseurs#challengeItems page

The linked page only links back to the challenge thread and hasn't any new information. In particular no definition of the 74 challenge anime, that page comes up broken.
=> the C&C forum's half-sentence "or our Hall of Fame page" currently adds no information, just creates a referal loop. The HoF list needs fixing, and should be linked directly after that.

2) Please bring back the template

Long story short, I care for lists. A lot. Much more so than I care for their game-ification as a challenge. The template has many use cases beyond that. When I first found it, I had watched over 50 of it's entries already. All it took it was to change a few ✗ to ✔ and I had nice content for my profile. Without a template, a lot of boilerplate [*url=... BBcode has to be written by each challenge participiant, too. This is wasted time given the anime set is fixed anyway. Rven after the HoF list from 1) is fixed, copy/paste and BBCode editing should be avoided for all but one person.

3) Thread write permission

On an independent note, the C&C challenge isn't really playable right now. It's thread states: "Quick Reply Disabled for Non-Club Members", and C&C is a private club with restrictive admission rules.

This isn't the thread to request such things. Let's keep this one for this challenge only. Tho will look into the mentioned things (anything else, feel free to PM me).

The HoF page has a content tab that I honestly thought was pretty obvious. It is weird that it's not showing the listing, so we will look into that and try to have a fixed. Regardless of that, you have the club listing and even if the club restricts who can join or whatever, the anime relations are still visible.

Template won't be added as it was removed for a reason. Please wait for the HoF fix and grab the code from there.

None of those challenges will be playable then, cause you need to be a club member for all of them.
