Can I get a recommendation for:

(N.02) Watch an anime with 10 or more episodes that are each 15 minutes or less

(N.27) Watch an active staff member's favorite anime with 10 episodes or more


Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!
Bananya
Bernard-jou Iwaku
Cheating Craft
Hataraku Onii-san!

As for the active staff member favourite anime, you can choose from the people listed here and find something you might be interested in

Hope that helps ^^

Edit: Whoops, sorry I see that you got some responses for this already!

Sorry if already asked, i gave a quick look on this topic but didnt find the answer.

1- When said "Watch an anime...", are Movies, OVAs and ONAs, eligible within the challenge?
2- Are multiple entries from the same series allowed? (for example fate/zero in "watch an mythology/timetravel anime", and fate/zero 2nd season in "watch anime that aired between 2010-2015")


1] Yes, as long as they fit the listed criteria.
2] Yes, you can use anime from the same series.

Yes, movies and stuff are allowed unless it's specified "an OVA" or something. :)
And yes, as long as they have different links on the database. :)

What do you mean by that? So if I use an OVA its fine but if the title says “[ANIME_TITLE] the OVA” I can’t use it?

No, you can use anything. Including OVAs. If it says you need to use an OVA, you must use an OVA, otherwise it doesn't matter.
Hope that makes more sense.

It should be fine, as those are all English words and no character names are used.

TOTALLY
"One" is English, "Punch" is English, "Man" is English.
I regret starting watching anime late 2018 now... Man I could have used so many of those...

You can watch any anime on myanimelist for the challenges EXCEPT for when a challenge item specifically asks you to watch a movie/OVA/ONA/etc

I have a question about this one, as it's sort of unclear

(N.14) Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes per episode and a score of or above 8.00

Is there a difference between "more than 16 mins per episode" here and others where it says "more than 16 mins in total"? It doesn't give an episode min/max count, so I put a movie for this, but given it specifies episodes, I'm unsure of whether or not I'm supposed to watch a series.

Edit: Also, am I supposed to delete tasks I don't use for the challenge? I don't want to make it confusing for anyone checking, is all.

Hello.
I have a question
(N.05) Watch a listed noitaminA or YATP series
If it goes about fifth task, i am obligated to watch all series from one year from noitamina/yatp or choose one anime listed in the year?
My english isn't very good but I think we can cooperate.
Invite if you'd like to meet me a little bit closer

"more than 16 mins per episode" - means for every episode in an anime, that episode must be longer than 16 minutes (movies usually have 1 episode)
"more than 16 mins in total" - means in total, all the episodes durations combined should be over 16 minutes

As long as the movie you chose is over 16 minutes in duration and has a score of at least 8.00, you are good.
Also I think you should remove tasks you are not using (that's what im doing too).

Yes you can but if your 20 other items are valid I think it has no meaning.

About the Ap.01 item: Watch a stand-alone OVA, Does https://myanimelist.net/anime/33263/Kubikiri_Cycle__Aoiro_Savant_to_Zaregototsukai count ? It has something in the related section but it's some music so...

Yes, you can, but all additional items (not required by section) must be in a separate spoiler tag.

After checking the wikia and wikipedia, it doesn't seem that she has a work. I can only guess that it's never explained how she gets funds, so it would be safer to choose something else.

For the 1st question:
FAQ: Item 10 said:
"If I signed up / started the challenge in x month, can I use anime I previously watched during the year for this challenge?"
Yes. You can use any anime you started watching during the challenge period (January 1, 2019 - December 15, 2019) regardless of when you posted your sign-up form. Do remember to state the start date the same as the one for the earliest watched anime.


For the 2nd question.

The "Challenge Start Date" shouldn't be today's date, but the date of your first completed and used anime for the challenge, regardless of when you post your sign up form.

Pasting it here since it has been a frequent question. This has been added as note to the Turning In section, on the How to Participate post of the sign up thread.

What happens if I have an invalid item after turning in?
  -- If during the inspection of your challenge we find an invalid (an anime that doesn't fit the item requirements), you will be asked to either:
   -- Replace the item for another not used WITH the same anime
   -- Replace the anime with another watched during the time period of that section
  -- In case you don't have any valid anime for this or any unused item during that section time period, you will be allowed to watch a new anime for the same item you had the invalid, after your Challenge Finish Date (date of the last watched anime for the challenge).


Okay just wanted to clarify this curiosity of mine; so based on what AWC_mod posted a few pages back this means if at the final tier of the challenge when I turn in my form there are some items that are invalid and I have no suitable other anime entries to replace it during that period; then I can start watching a different entry to fit those invalid items as long as they are watched after my turn in date and the other tier items will not be invalid for not being watched in chronological order correct?

Just want to make sure I understand this process and I will aim to make certain each tier entries are as accurate as possible but mistakes can happen! Anyway I hope my questions are not too confusing!

No. It means you can't have anime from that studio on your list prior to watching the anime for this item. You are free to watch more afterwards but be advised to update watching start and finish dates as this is the only way for us to verify that it was the first anime you've seen from that studio.

Hanamonogatari is listed as its own entry separate from Monogatari: Second Season, so you're good to use it on its own.

If the source states 'Original' that's ok, doesn't matter if there's a related manga. So Sora yori is ok for this item. ;)

Original just means any anime not adapted from something else like a manga or light novel or visual novel like a lot of anime. I know there are anime like angel beats or psycho pass which started as anime and got manga adaptations later. I'm also seeing several series from the precure franchise listed as original. I think any anime that says original in the source on its page is valid for this challenge item.

"Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes per episode and a score of or above 8.00"

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Yes it can be a movie. From the FAQ on page 1:
"If it says watch an anime, can I use a movie/ONA/Special/OVA for that item?"
Unless otherwise stated, you can use any type of anime for the items.

Got a question about a challenge under the Novice section.

(N.17) Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field


Would Gintoki count? His job is listed as "Yorozuya/Odd Jobs" on his character page and he technically gets paid to do this. xD

If not, then does the challenge ask for a more orthodox professional field?
