renzoushi said: In the People Challenge, the requirement "HAS A FULL FEMALE CAST" means all the characters or just the main cast? Main cast only, is actually in the challenge rules "Character(s) must be a main character; specify which character has the required trait", although with that wording is easy to misunderstand. |

| Yeah, one character works. |

What can I do to finish this challenge? Do I have to watch the main series to be able to finish this? @riho88riho In the end I will need an alternative at least for the < I > for Winter... I don't want to get into Initial D yet, don't have enough time at the moment and I want to finish this one before 2017... |
| https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1487830 So I'm getting close to the end and have realized that "Any previous movies already seen before you start are not counted; start day is the day you post." poses an issue in the Thriller genre. I have previously seen all of the Thriller genre movies that are available (honestly, there's only 23 of them and most are crazy popular/famous). The two left overs are https://myanimelist.net/anime/21025/Chang https://myanimelist.net/anime/34048/Seoul-yeok which I have found no English release for. That means I'll be stuck at 36/37. Can I replace the Thriller genre for Shounen-Ai? Because of the 6 genres not used for the challenge that's the only one that has a movie I haven't seen yet (if they had any anime listed to begin with). https://myanimelist.net/anime/30346/Doukyuusei_Movie That way I still complete 37 films for the challenge just like everyone else. |

| I have a question. Considering the anime challenges that have the easy/medium/hard difficulty, where you need to watch 10/20/30 anime titles, respectively; and to do the challenge the second time for points you need to do the first run. I don't quite understand how that works. Does it mean you need to watch 60 anime titles before watching the second run of 60(easy/medium/hard combined) titles? Or 30(hard) and then another run of 30(hard)? Cause I've seen there is an option, in some challenges, to put the already watched anime titles, but only for the easy difficulty. But then I've also seen there is the "upgrade" thing which some users do, and upgrade from easy to hard difficulty, after already putting the already watched anime titles on it. Please clear this up. Thank you. :3 |
| @Succub You need to complete all difficulties before starting 2nd run of any difficulty. About the previously watched allowed that's for most of the genre challenges, that's only allowed for easy for 1st run. You can add more anime that aren't previously watched to it to make for example hard that is partially previously watched, but you can only use as much previously watched as the easy difficulty allows. You can also make this only once, so if you combined previously watched easy and another anime to complete hard difficulty, for easy difficulty you can use only not previously watched. Does this clear things up? |
You all need to watch Nami. |
| @abystoma2 Yes, thank you so much! Also, another question. Can I potentially upgrade every run to hard then? Would that get me points for 3/6 hard runs in one challenge? |
| @Succub If I understand correctly what you're asking, you can complete each difficulty only once per each run. So you can complete it as easy and later upgrade it to hard, but then you'll still have to complete easy and medium (and conquered if available) to be able to start 2nd run. |
| You all need to watch Nami. |
| @abystoma2 I understand. So, I cannot get extra points if I upgrade all challenges from the first run to hard, is what we're getting at. |
| @abystoma2 Ha! Thank you very much for answering. It cleared everything up. Also, I think it's kind of funny what I just noticed. I was checking the 2016 anime challenge and who completed it, and how long it took them. You're the first one on the list, as I'm sure you know. I saw it only took you a week for those 50 titles and I even questioned the legitimacy of it in a different thread. Only to have it pointed out to me that you mostly chose OVA-s and movies for the challenge. ..so I calculated the times cause I'm weird like that. Anyway.. Kudos. :P |

| Can we use "sub-studios" for the Studio Challenge? By sub-studios I mean those studio departments that are clearly part of the studio but are listed apart, or previous versions of the same studio, etc. Some examples: Xebec -> Xebec Zwei AIC -> AIC A.S.T.A, AIC Spirits, AIC Build, AIC Plus+ TMS Entertainment -> Tokyo Movie Shinsha My personal opinion is that they should, but it's not currently specified (I think it should either way). @riho88riho |

| Thanks for clarifying, @Kreyul In that case, I insist though that this should be specified in the rules. |

| So, as I'm nearing completion on the Genre-OVAs Challenge, I've hit a snag. There are a grand total of 7 Josei OVA. Of those, I've watched three (the Nodame & Chihayafuru ones) quite some time ago. And, to the best of my knowledge, the other four haven't been subbed at all. I have watched a bit of unsubbed Josei anime in the past because it was literally the only choice available left to me, but that was a three-minute special. I'm really not keen on doing that again for 28+ minutes. So, what can I do here ? |
GamerDLM said: MysticGoose said: I'm wondering how the easy, medium, hard, and conquered difficulties work. So If I were doing the demographics challenge, and I wanted to get the hard reward, would that be a total of 25, or 70 series completed? If it's 25, would that only be giving me credit for the hard challenge, and not the easy/medium challenges? If you complete 25 you just complete hard, to get through all three ranks and get the associated points you would have to watch 60. So you can start with any section like say I tend to start with hard/conquered and work my way down or you can start at easy and work your way up. You'll notice on the challenge turn in there's a small section for updating challenges so say you can record your progress if you happen to complete easy while working towards hard. There's also the note that completing all of the ranks at least once often gives the option for things like X2 badges which is basically doing the all of challenge over again for an improved badge. So to use your example the maximum amount of points you can get for the Demographics challenge is 7 for one full attempt, each version (easy/medium/hard) cannot have series that overlap, so to complete all of them you would need 60 series. If you did hard first you would then get the hard reward (Hard version badge and 3.5 Points). I want to quote @GamerDLM because I have entered the Mystery Challenge and have noticed that participants are 'upgrading' their easy lists into hard lists by adding a few anime to their easy list instead of starting all over again. I see many participants add 10 new titles to their easy list to get the medium rank and then simply add 10 more to get the hard rank while actually starting over means they have to watch 30 titles instead of 20. Is this something that should be adressed to the participants in the challenge? I don't believe upgrading your easy list is the point of the system as it is to motivate you into watching more and more. Perhaps I'm a bit too serious about it though.. |

Perhaps I'm a bit too serious about it though.. it's actually perfectly within the rules to do that, even club staff members do it that way, I'm in fact upgrading my mystery challenge as I type this, there isn't really a "point" in system, everyone can do the challenges the way they want, for example, I want to reclaim this badge without having to go through 60 mystery series, I don't mind not getting the whole 4.25 points that challenge provides. |

| @Lilviscious Whether you upgrade or start new, the total amount of new anime you need to watch would still be the same. Let's use the Mystery Challenge as an example: Upgrading : 10 previously watched + 20 newly watched (Hard) + 20 newly watched (Medium) + 10 newly watched (Easy) = 50 newly watched anime Not Upgrading: 10 previously watched (Easy) + 30 newly watched (Hard) + 20 newly watched (Medium) = 50 newly watched anime The only advantage to upgrading is that it gives you a slight head start to achieve the next difficulty level. |

This ties in with my earlier post for Genre Movie https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1492431&show=500#msg48677302 And actually is an issue for Josei as well for my Genre Specials. Bottom line--do we get a free pass for having watched all possible English releases of a Type+Genre or do we replace it with an unused Genre (exuding Rating: Rx - Hentai)? And I guess if everything from an unused Genres was already watched too, then double up of a genre of your choice? So you could do 2 Action OVAs to make up for the loss of a Josei. So then everyone who completes the challenge all watched 40 items (or however many items for each respective Genre challenge). |

Why would you need to add 10 newly watched anime to get easy if you'd upgrade your list? Making a list of 10 previously watched series is enough to get the easy rank so by upgrading you'd watch 10 less than by doing each rank separately? With upgrading in the Mystery Challenge it's actually as follows if I look at this and this post: 10 previously watched (Easy) + 10 newly watched (Medium) + 10 newly watched (Hard) = 30 newly watched anime to get all ranks. Also, thanks to @Punkero for answering me so quickly! I simply didn't know if it was allowed or not. It's a bit disappointing to be honest, because you get the same rank if you do either but the ones who do the ranks separately spend more effort and time. Then again, anyone can just get the banner and stick it to their profile without ever entering in the first place.. |
Lilviscious said: Why would you need to add 10 newly watched anime to get easy if you'd upgrade your list? Basically, upgrading from Easy to, say, Medium, makes you "lose" the Easy rank. You need to do it again to get it back (and the points associated). That's the main drawback of upgrading : you can't claim the former levels after it until you do them all over again. (But then, there are people like me who don't care about getting ALL the versions of a challenge, and only care to keep the highest difficulty ; upgrading is ideal for us.) |
| Since I didn't see an answer there nor further details I'm quoting @Leinchetzu from the club's comments Leinchetzu said: I don't really understand the stuff with the challenges. Could someone explain it to me and give me a good challenge? I might be looking forward to it. What about them you don't understand? Or is it with one in particular? Each challenge tends to have their rules and/or explanations in their first post. I suggest checking the FAQs and the Rules / Explanations. There's also the Newsletter, very useful since they include a section for new users called < Beginners' Guide > which might help you getting started in all the challenges and this club. If you like them you can sign up so you are notified whenever there's a new one posted. (^_^)/ |

| @riho88riho My doubt was anwsered, but with the contrary response, lol. But you're actually wrong about the purpose of the criteria. It doesn't ask for heterochromia (best proof is that in that case it would ask for "heterochromia" instead of "mixed eyes". It actually specifies that both things works... and to be honest, I think that's the correct way to go... Heterochromia is relatively popular in fanart and stuff like that, but there's not many characters out there that actually have heterochromia, even less that are actually main characters. Even considering mixed eyes like it's currently supposed to be it's quite hard.... but adding characters like Emilia (purple with light blue) or Simon's girl in TTGL (forgot her name right now) does help increasing possibilities.
