Eguy said: Ok, another question on my card. Does either Shuffle (with the gods and devils) or Kobayashi san chi no dragon maid count for 41 which states "Watch an anime with a main character that doesn't look human ." These anime contain characters with nonhuman elements, but I think they look close to human. Another question, any suggestions for the professional in their field? I don't know how famous or talented they need to be at their job. Thanks. I also forgot to ask, even though I probably already missed my chance, how to you get and apply a banner? Kobayashi would count because of the horns and frequent appearance of the tail and wings (as well as the full transformations). Shuffle I think at the ears could count based on the few images I glanced through. From your plan to watch list for profession 3-gatsu no lion (professional shogi player). The banners are on the front of the sign up page. On your profile click Edit profile near the search bar and you can go to the forum tab and there's a section for your signature for the banner, or you can put it on your profile on the profile tab in the about me section. Just copy the link location on the one you want and use the [img][ /img] bbcode. |

I haven't tried out signatures myself, but did you copy the image into the Forum tab of edit profile, or the "My Signature" tab? Just at a glance I'm guessing the forum tab lets you put whatever you want and the mysignature tab automatically overlays the selected options. Edit: I'm assuming if you linked it in the wrong section you will have to delete the image and resubmit on the my signature page to remove it. |

NinjaNed said: So can single episode OVAs count for completion of a challenge, given that I watched the source already? Seems kinda like cheating. If you don't put any restriction and it is not specified what that type is required (only states that you need to watch an anime) for the challenge you can use single episode OVAs. |

| Can I use Anime of any length, for example Shelter for #58 (Watch an anime tagged as Kids, Magic and/or Music), or would that be too short? |

Items #47-58 are the only ones with a specified minimal duration (at least 16 minutes overall), so that 6-minute music video wouldn't work. |
| Because of the lack of the concept "favorite" and the low number of watched animes I am using graph.anime.plus to define "my favorites". According to the site Studio Ghibli is my favorite studio (not surprised). Question 11 asks me to watch one of its flop 5. For Ghibli these are commercials.... Not only does it feel cheap to fill spot with material under 1 min, I am also not even sure i can find those "films" somewhere. And are those even intended for the challange? Or should I take them out while counting the flop 5. I also have issues with Nr 73 having no dropped or on hold anime. Thank you for your help in advance. |

Considering the absurdly ridiculous effort to make this year's challenge Difficult... those short commercials will count. What I would suggest is to pick another of your favorite Studios and check the bottom 5 list. Favorite is a subjective matter, so no one can tell you which Studio to pick. For the drop / on hold item, I had the same question and the official answer is to place one for your currently watching Anime on hold for 3 months and then resume it later. |

XAnima13X said: My god thats... some desperate way to mess up ones animewatching experience.... oh well I guess I will have to "adjust" this rule to the situation. thanks for the help. You can put something you're really enjoying on hold and save it for your very last challenge anime..... then it would be like a reward/victory lap for completing your list! If you get to your last thing before 3 months I wouldn't worry about it not counting. As long as it was on hold and an effort was made to leave it there at least a little while, I think that's good enough. |

OnlyPhantom said: Can someone tell me how to find an anime for #36 - Watch a completed anime with more user in "Plan-to-Watch" than "Completed"? There are 2 fairly easy ways I've found. One is to look at the "Top Anime" list and go to the pages where the scores go below about 6.5 and a series is older than ~15 years. There seem to be a lot in there. This is also an easy way to find anime for the #35 "Watch a completed anime with less than 5,000 completed members" challenge. The other is to search out what people around MAL are calling "elitist" anime. This would be the artsy stuff with high scores but are usually considered "boring", so everyone adds them to the plan to watch but cant get themselves to actually watch them. Tatami Galaxy as an example: https://myanimelist.net/anime/7785/Yojouhan_Shinwa_Taikei/stats Or Utena: https://myanimelist.net/anime/440/Shoujo_Kakumei_Utena/stats |

OnlyPhantom said: Can someone tell me how to find an anime for #36 - Watch a completed anime with more user in "Plan-to-Watch" than "Completed"? I think you just have to go to the site of an anime, click on stats and then look at the "Completed" and "Plan-to-watch" numbers. Occultic;Nine would be one with more Users in "PTW" than "Completed". There might be an easier way though. |

This could be as good of an excuse as any to watch them. Thank you both for the suggestions! |

| @Reversinator I just remembered, that in the first episode of Haibane Renmai the Main Character grows wings, which you might not like, but I encourage you to keep going. There will be no other scenes like this. It's a one time thing. |

| Is there a rule against using extremely short ONAs/commercials? I known the 47-58 challenges have a 16 minute limit, but the others don't seem to mention anything. I only ask because most of the low-rated anime for my favourite studios (challenge 11) tend to be those short commercials or ONAs. |

I kept the number 1774 in my post, but there are others who now have Initial Post Number was 1774 also.
