A question regarding format. In the main sign-up section at the top, it says to use format for dates as MONTH DAY, YEAR. In the challenge section, format is MMM dd. Do we change formats, or use just one?


In the challenge section use MMM dd (example: Jan 01; KEEP THIS FORMAT)

How should I write the 'required' part on the sign up form?

Suppose,I am a Bronze Medalist and I need to complete 20 animes to pass the level.I have already completed 13 animes and I only need 7 more.

So should I write '13/20 required' or '7/20 required'?

You would write 13/20 required.

Hello. I have a question!
For (S.04) Watch an anime by a studio you haven't seen anything from
I'm planning to watch DRAMAtical Murder made by NAZ Studios.

Then later, for (S.25) Watch an anime with the word "Animation" in the title
If I were to watch Hamatora The Animation, which is also by NAZ Studios, would that nullify the previous mentioned challenge?

Hello ^^ As long as you finish Dramatical Murder before you start Hamatora, it's fine.

Someone's probably asked this, but for B.22 "Watch an anime with no Japanese words or phrases in the title," why exactly doesn't Goblin Slayer count? Because the title is in katakana?
Because the main character is listed as being named ‘Goblin Slayer’, and we do not allow for names with this item.

Basing on the synopsis, the main characters are amateurs trying to get professional. If you can get a proof they are getting paid for what they do, it will be valid for that item.

@chii I believe they do qualify just barely, although the explanations are a bit spoilery.

I'll finally be moving on to silver after the last episode of Haikyuu 4 airs this weekend so I need a 20+ minute Shounen TV for (S.21) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread if anyone has a solid recommendation. Preferably 2 cour or less but I know there are slim pickings due to my restrictions.

Hi hi!

For B.19 Watch a listed Gourmet or Isekai themed anime, Honzuki no Gekokujou is listed in the anidb isekai tag. Could I watch the Honzuki OVA even though it's not listed? I'm guessing I can't but I'd rather ask just to be sure.
edit: anime-planet has it tagged as isekai if that changes anything

While I'm at it, could I get a recommendation for S.21 Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread? Preferably one-cour or less, anything goes besides that!

Thanks!

I need clarification for this question: (B.13) Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or above and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more

By above 8.00, does it go by 7, 6, 5 or 9, 10, 11?

Would this entry count or not?

I always get confused with these types of questions.

Above = higher than. It's 8.00+, so 8, 9, 10.

That entry would not count. Its score is 7.57, which is below 8.00.

Hello, I just wanna consult for these items:
(B.18) Watch a listed Superhero or Iyashikei themed anime
Is Non Non Biyori Vacation valid for this one, since Vacation is not listed in the anime.
(S.15) Watch an anime with a total duration of 16 minutes or more that's tagged as Dementia, Demons, Horror, and/or Vampire
I want to watch something with vampires and/or horror, prefentially something of 1 or 2 cours.

Question regarding [b]B.02[b]

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding an anime with 10 or more episodes that are each 15 minutes or less?

I would prefer if the anime was as short as possible since I'm currently stuck in tons and tons of school work/essay writing.
