I'm excited to announce our 2017 Anime/Manga Challenges!
A very big thank you to SheyCroix and tsuyokunaru for organising these events for us.


Click the images to the right to sign up! →


What does it mean to participate in these challenges?
You will be watching/reading one anime/manga title for each item in your challenge list, which meets the specific criteria requested. The purpose of these challenges is not only to watch/read more, but also to go beyond your standard fare.

Depending on your chosen difficulty level, you will watch/read between 21 entries to 49 entries.


New Challenge: Bingo!
To change things up this year, you will not be able to custom choose your challenge list. Instead, you will be given a bingo card with 48 random challenges (of 74 total). You can then choose which bingo pattern to form on your card, thus defining which challenge items you need to complete.

Sound confusing? We have a step-by-step How to Play form in both Sign-Up threads.


Do I have to sign up to participate?
You're welcome to take the challenge list and watch/read whichever anime/manga you like, if you don't want to play with everyone else. But signing up allows you to keep better track of your progress, compare challenge lists with other users, and gives you bragging rights with a little banner. Plus, it's an excuse to have fun in the community!


So what do you think?
Are you up to the challenge?


PS. Feel free to use #61(anime)/#62(manga) for your Free space! I loved reading notes from challenge users who watched/read series from my profile in previous years.

Been waiting! I hope I can do the medium (or hard) challenge for manga this year and not fill the challenge with one-shots

EDIT: The challenges look so awesome this year, I'm feeling super hyped! Thanks @SheyCroix and @tsuyokunaru and to all the other people who helped make this!

Oh, please. My goal for 2017 is to watch 1,000 anime by the end of the year. I was loosely joking at first but my cousin said I can't do it so naturally I have to do it.

No, you must start and finish all anime within the challenge period: i.e. January 1, 2017 - Dec 24, 2017.
It's a yearly challenge, so only this year counts :)
