  "An earnest failure has meaning." "Nothing is definite in this world. But it's okay. Some things within me are definite." |
| Hi - I want to join the challenge, but the instructions have my head a little muddled. Can someone take a look at this & tell me if I'm headed in the right direction for my initial post? Any advice is welcome. ALSO: I am confused about how to make a series I'm re-watching show up in my CW list? Or am I expected to find works that fit the categories that I have not already seen? If so, some of these categories will not even be possible for me to choose from. Initial Post Number: ## πΆ Challenge Start Date: JANUARY 01, 2019 (example: January 01, 2019) π· Challenge Finish Date: DECEMBER 14, 2019 (example: December 01, 2019) π Link to your completed anime list: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/shukujo?status=2 π Link to your Anime+: https://anime.plus/shukujo/profile β¨ Completed Anime (at sign-up): 1,630 β¨ Time Zone: UTC/-8:00 PST πΊ Difficulty: Novice π» Restriction: π Anime in Forum Set: ANIME_USED π Legend: Watching - Completed - Inactive/Plan to Watch π‘οΈ Challenge list: [spoiler="Challenge List"][list=1] Novice — 31 total items | 0/20 required π‘οΈ Finish Date: DATE |

| @shukujo - I think you may have messed up the bb code (probably didn't copy completely) - Out of the 31 listed items of novice, you only have to watch 20. Meaning you have to delete 11 items from that list. - I recommend to leave "challenge finish date" empty, seeing how the finish date = when you turn it in. - One of the anime in your forum set (avatar and signature) is Charlotte (Signature) - You CANNOT do rewatches. Haruhi is invalid. - Your initial post nr is the nr your post gets when you've posted it. (For example, this post is #2211) |

Yuki-Chan276 said: I'd rather you pick one without a hyphen. Late reply but thanks for your answer! Another question: For Ap.17 "Watch an anime scored 10 or 9 from the user's completed list, who posted directly above/below you", if the post above mine is a turn-in post, can I still use that user's list? Also if anyone has recommendations for Ap.29 "Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread" hmu! (preferably one-cour series) edit: Thanks a bunch! |

| For the standalone OVA one, does Toki wa Meguru: Tokyo Station count? I found it on a standalone ova list. Its listed as an ONA though on MAL. |

| For Apprentice 19. - Watch an anime with 3 or more main characters in which more than half are human adults — state the human adults; they should be 18 years old or older (you should be able to find a source for this; doesn't need to be stated on MAL); excludes half-humans and characters that goes back to being younger while retaining their adult memories Can I use a One Piece film, e.g. Stampede? Of the 9 main characters, I'm ignoring Frankie, Chopper and Brook. According to the remaining six main character's profiles they are all 18 or older by the current time (i.e. when this particular film would be) so while Luffy and Usopp start the series at 17 they would all be old enough in this entry. Also does it matter that some/all of them have superpowers or is the human part all that matters? |

It's post-time skip so Luffy and Usopp are already 19, Sanji and Zoro 21, Nami is 20 and Robin 30. It doesn't matter if they have powers or not, just that they're human ;) (Chopper is not, Brook definitely no, and Franky's a cyborg so no as well, as you already excluded them ^^) |

StrawberryMilkXD said: Need an anime for challenge by a challenge member. More than 4 episodes please! To get a recommendation for that one you have to tag a specific staff member (go to the Awc mod profile and pick your member of choice) and include the entire item line to get a recommendation (I.21) Watch an anime with 4 episodes or more recommended to you by a challenge team member |

| Hey, I have some questions for what is valid when fixing an invalid anime at turn in? Swapping 2 animes, one is valid, the other is not, switching places makes both valid? (Ap.07) Watch an anime by a studio with 3 to 30 anime in MAL's database: Honobono Log (valid) (Ap.23) Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and rated G or PG: Aggressive Retsuko: We Wish You a Metal Christmas (invalid) Swapping these makes both valid and putting a valid anime into a new (unused slot), then putting an invalid anime into the slot the previous anime had? (Ap.1) Watch a stand-alone OVA: Nekopara (Invalid) (Ap.33) Watch an anime that has a one-word title: Dororo (valid) (Ap.28)Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and tagged as Martial Arts, Military, Police and/or Samurai: (not used) So moving Dororo to Ap.28 (Samurai) and Nekopara into Ap.36 (one-word title), and dropping Ap.1 (stand-alone OVA) Making both valid ? Lastly is about details of an anime changing after I watched it (I.18) Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and tagged with 2 or less genres Youjo Senki Movie, had 2 Genres: Magic, Military, when I watched, I copied the Genres into my spreadsheet to make sure they were correct, but did not take a screen shot, as I did not expect it to change Now Youjo Senki Movie, has 3 Genres: Action, Magic, Military As I have no screen shot, I assume that this is still invalid as I have no picture proof that it was valid when I watched it? Thank you |

Thank you Unfortunately, you cannot switch any anime around as it will invalidate the switched ones. You can try to fit the invalid anime in an unused item though. However, you cannot fit valid anime in invalid items. Yes, you would need proof for it to be valid. |

Damn, I had managed to re-sort so all items would be valid without having to watch a new ones to replace them. XP Ah well, its just 4 anime I need to watch extra to replace the ones I can not put in an unused item Thank you ^^ |

| Another question. Ap. 06 Watch an anime by a studio you haven't seen anything from I saw Nekopara on the 24th of April, at which time it was the only anime I had seen from Felix Film then on the 25th of Apri (the next day) I watched Nekopara: Koneko no Hi no Yakusoku, which is from the same studio Can I use Nekopara for Ap. 06, since at the time I had not seen anything from that studio, and use the dates in from the challenge to validate it? Or would that be invalid? |

Might be a prequel in there you can fit into one of the other challenge items. |

| I need help clarifying this requirement: - Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and a popularity lower than #700 By lower than 700, do they mean I can watch an anime that's, lets say, #331 in popularity? Or do they mean an anime with a score such as #721? |

Liaeves said: By lower than 700, do they mean I can watch an anime that's, lets say, #331 in popularity? Or do they mean an anime with a score such as #721?

| I have Enen no Shouboutai on my challenge list, but I just realized that because it unexpectedly went on break for two weeks, the anime won't end until January 3rd (assuming there won't be any more breaks). Can this still be counted as a valid entry? |
