Screenshot Assistance: lifeiscrazy said: Screenshot Assistance for Safari users:Hi guys! As we all know, it's super duper important to have your username shown on screenshots @ MAL for Official AWC. But, for myself, with my petite 13 inch laptop, I always struggled to screenshot the stats far below, along with my username up top. Why MAL doesn't have a sticky header is beyond me, so, while a few days ago I was complaining about that to Aeradae, today I thought; why the heck not try to fix it with a simple CSS script. So, that's what I did. It's been tested and works with most of the popular dark themes. lifeiscrazy said: With the recent versions of Safari, Apple dropped the support for the old plug-ins/extensions. Now, extensions have to be downloaded from the App Store. I've found a fantastic replacement for Tampermonkey and the like, which lets you insert custom CSS/Javascript into webpages. So if you use a newer version of Safari (which comes with macOS Catalina), follow these steps! 1. Install the UserScripts extension. fyi, it's all open-source! 2. Click the new icon that appeared to the side of the address bar with "</>" to open the editor. 3. On the left side of the page, click on the + to create a new code. Then there's two options: 4a. You can either pick New Remote and past the following URL and hit "Save" in the lower right bottom. (repeat this for the other two URLs) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lnudwyh9ji7lzwk/MAL-Sticky-Menu-main.css https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hfgho9srcd2gmtr/MAL-Sticky-Menu-specific-pages.css https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7tkvq4a67jz6iiy/MAL-Sticky-Menu-picture-gallery-fix.css 4b. Alternatively, pick New CSS and copy, paste and save the codes directly from the URLs above into three separate codes. Since there's a version number, and the update URL in the script, it's possible to check for updates. When the original code has a higher version number, it'll update and save it (you can review the code, before hitting save!). Right now, there's no function to auto-update scripts. But don't expect too many updates. Unless things break (and if they do, let me know!). Challenge Spreadsheets: Several participants have created AWC Challenge spreadsheets that create the BBCode for you: Alexia383 said: Hey I have made an automated spreadsheet, that you plan in and fill out, and get neat BB code out with a simple copy-paste. The sheet handles the Bingo boards automatically, you only need to set the ID/number of the board you want, and it grays out all items, not on the selected board. There is also a board visualization on the side that updates as you fill in items. If there is any issues DM me (@Alexia383) here on MAL and I'll update it ASAP. Hope you enjoy ^^ (NOTE: You can not edit the master sheet, go top left, File/Make a copy, to make a local version you can edit!) MAL Watching Challenge 2021 Spreadsheet Patches: Version 1.3: Fixed not all rows having auto title. (Quick fix, select any auto title cell above item 26, and copy it all the way down to fill the missing formulas) Version 1.2: Fixed Rubik's Rubric slot I6. was previously 112, it should have been 122 Version 1.1: Fixed issue where items 69-70 that had the Theme: Mahou Shoujo also listed the Genre: Shoujo, this is incorrect. Cards with this issue: 1 Aera #69, 5 Étude #69, 6 Rubik #70, 7 Moz #69, and 8 Ran #69 And fixed spelling issue of plan-to-watchh, and card 5 Étude's Aviary center item was 112, which should have been 122.

Good day, I require assistance comprehending just how this 'Bingo' system works. I am no stranger to these challenges-- and have participated in two of the 'Anime Watching Challenges' in the past, thus, I understand the basics, however, I want to make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that I grasp the concept of this format. On the sign-up page, there are 11 Bingo cards to choose from, am I entitled to pick any of these cards I want from the get-go? Or do I start from card 1 and work my way through? If I am understanding it correctly, I can select any of the 11 cards I want, right? I just need to finish any 5 of them in order to attain the 'Bingo Legend' title. I apologise if I am asking questions that have an obvious answer. I am just very keen to not make any mistakes that might negatively effect myself or the challenge-inspectors. One final thing, when you complete a bingo card, do you merely get the BBcode for a new card and post it in the EXACT same post; right under the complete card? Thanks again. |

I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) that you pick ONE of the 11 cards. How many of those 64 items on each card that you complete determines what level you're doing the challenge at. So, Bingo Legend is completing all 64 items on one card. Example: If you're just doing Bingo Rookie, you just need to do 8 items that fall in a line. And yes, I think if you really want to do more than one card, you just copy the BBcode and paste it under the other card so both your cards stay in the same post. |

Apologies. I am so rather confused by this challenge. I initially thought we had to complete 5 different cards, all with different amounts of columns required for a rank. For instance, I thought that the first card you selected, you only needed to complete 2 columns of that card in order to be deemed as a rookie. And for the second card, I thought you needed to complete 4 columns to be regarded as an Enthusiast before moving onto card 3, and so on until you reach card 5 which requires an entire card with its columns complete. I seriously need this correcting; if anybody can help. @MeMaHa19: Thank you for your comment, buddy, however, it seems we both need to find out how this challenge actually works-- as we're both definitely confused, |

(117) Watch an anime that finished airing before you started it and has no Opening Theme (OP) or Ending Theme (ED) listed There's no comment and the wording not 100% clear to me. My interpretation of "has no Opening Theme (OP) or Ending Theme (ED)" is: (OP=0 AND ED>=0) OR (OP>=1 AND ED=0) OR (OP=0 AND ED=0) In that case, a simpler and clearer rewording suggestion would be (117') Watch an anime without either Opening Theme (OP) or Ending Theme (ED) listed, or with both missing. The anime must have finished airing before you started it. In case the 3rd term is not allowed, just replace "or missing both" with "but not missing both.". |

(100) Finish an anime you put on-hold or dropped on or before July 1, 2020 that has two or more episodes and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more Pretty stupid item to be honest not only does it exclude anyone registered after that date but it excludes people registered before that complete every anime they start watching. |

@inim I recall that challenge being present in the 2019 Anime Watching Challenge, and I asked the same question, in which, I was told you need to watch an Anime with only one of the two missing, rather than them both being missing. For instance: an Anime without a closing listed, but, has an opening listed can be watched and will be regarded as eligible. |

A quick question about the card. It seems clear to me now that you only pick 1 card out of the 11 presented, so, I picked card 9. I am looking to complete the entire card, however, there are numbers on the card that aren't in the items menu. For instance, when I click the "show items" button on the card, it counts up to 64 and that's it, however, there are numbers higher than the number of 64 on the card, such as: 100, 115 etc. How do I complete the entire card if I can not see which items relate to those numbers above 64? I don't know what item is required for a number like... say... 115, thus, I don't know how to fully complete the card. Am I missing something? Thanks. |

(30) Watch a directly related anime that aired at least 10 years before/after a previously completed anime from the same series I'm not sure what is considered directly related. Plan A: I want to watch Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden (1998) and consider it a directly related anime to Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou (2018). The two have no direct relation linked on their respective pages. They are, however, linked as the latter is an "Alternative version" or LotGH (1988) which is the "Parent story" of Gaiden. Direct enough? Plan A': Gaiden (1998) and LotGH (1988), connected as "Side/Parent story". Works? On a content level the argument would work that Gaiden is of course a side-story (imho even a prequel, but that's another debate) to both the 1988 and the 2018 versions of what is the same story based on the same novel. Is that then the same series? What defines "same series", studios change often, see Genshiken. Plan B: Saiyuuki (1960) and Boku no Son Gokuu (2003) are connected as "Alternative version"s of each other. Does that count? (94) Watch an anime Featured in an article from 2020 onward Does that include or exclude 2020? Like in the (117) question it probably would be helpful to include that in the explanation. Many people on MAL have very basic English skills and the subtleties of the definition of "onward(s)" should not be required to take the challenge. "featured in an article published in the year 2020 or later" does the same job, doesn't it? |

The two have no direct relation linked on their respective pages. They are, however, linked as the latter is an "Alternative version" or LotGH (1988) which is the "Parent story" of Gaiden. Direct enough? Plan A': Gaiden (1998) and LotGH (1988), connected as "Side/Parent story". Works? On a content level the argument would work that Gaiden is of course a side-story (imho even a prequel, but that's another debate) to both the 1988 and the 2018 versions of what is the same story based on the same novel. Is that then the same series? What defines "same series", studios change often, see Genshiken. Plan B: Saiyuuki (1960) and Boku no Son Gokuu (2003) are connected as "Alternative version"s of each other. Does that count? (94) Watch an anime Featured in an article from 2020 onward Does that include or exclude 2020? Like in the (117) question it probably would be helpful to include that in the explanation. Many people on MAL have very basic English skills and the subtleties of the definition of "onward(s)" should not be required to take the challenge. "featured in an article published in the year 2020 or later" does the same job, doesn't it? If you look at the screenshot posted under the item, there is a screenshot that shows what we mean. For Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden, if you list Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu as the previously watched anime, it would be valid. If I look at the pages for both Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu Gaiden and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou, I see no relation, so that would not be a valid method. For Saiyuuki and Boku no Son Gokuu, they are listed as Alternative versions of each other and would be considered valid. For the Featured in an article from 2020 onward, that includes articles that were created in 2020. We can add a note to the item to make it very clear. |

Aeradae said: Thanks you for the clarifications. The part that confused me in the screenshot is that the relation "Prequel/Sequel" is used. That is the most simple one, and evidently it is "direct". My confusion was more about how "indirect" it can get beyond simple prequel-sequel. Adding something like "all relations expressed as relation links on the page can be used" or such would help to make understanding easier.inim said: (30) Watch a directly related anime that aired at least 10 years before/after a previously completed anime from the same series If you look at the screenshot posted under the item, there is a screenshot that shows what we mean. |

Congrats to the AWC staff for getting this up 🎉 I'd like to ask, are we allowed to put anime on our challenges if they are still currently airing ? I got an invalid item last year for the finished airing date being after my start date, but I couldn't find anything about this in the OP. |

Hey, maybe I just missed something... but can I take (for example) a few Bingo cards at once? Let's say that I'm watching Noragami right now, but I would like to plan somewhere a season 2. Sadly, there's no correct place on my Bingo 1. It's possible to finish season 1 on Bingo 1 and then jump to Bingo 3 to finish season 2? To put it simply: it's okay to jump between all my Bingo cards? Finish something here, there, back to the first one... |

I'm using the TV restriction but for (63) Watch an anime with a total duration of 16 minutes or more that is rated Rx — Hentai, it looks like there's no TV type for that rating. That's a middle square so do I need to switch that one out for another item that can use a TV type or is it fine to watch an OVA for that item? |

I'm freaking out. I accidentally clicked Delete instead of Preview when editing my post. What can I do now? I was so excited about participating and I don't want to be disqualified. |

Yes, you can use currently airing anime except for items that state otherwise (those with "that finished airing before you started it" written). Just remember that the anime has to finish airing by the time you turn in. You are also allowed to use 2 anime that finish airing in December - see 11. in FAQ in this post for more info on this exception.

I seem to have a strange problem. Whenever I ry to add an anime to the list I have to edit my list. However, when I try to put a link to anything to my post, it always freezes no matter whar I do. Is there anything I can do about that? |

However, when I try to put a link to anything to my post, it always freezes no matter whar I do. Is there anything I can do about that? On which moment exactly? As far as I understand, pay attention to your memory usage. Normally it should be easy to edit your entry, but if you are getting stuck with that, try: - Try to log in with any other browser, for example by using Microsoft Edge, - Remove some of your saved tabs and if it's okay, clean your browser cache, - Reinstall your browser, Please keep in mind that Chrome is a kind of little monster who eats a tons of your RAM. I don't think that it's a correct topic to discuss it, but I now that it's a shame to have any problems with AWC, especially technical. Hope that you can enjoy it with us. |

Thank you, turns out removing other tabs and cleaning my browser actually helped. I know this wasnt the right place to ask, I just didnt know else I could write for help. I appreciate your help, especially since this is the first time Im participating in any anime related challenge. |

Does the challenge have any minimum total duratioin requirement for entries where time is not mentioned? For 16, 58, 92, 113 and 121 - take screenshots. If you're worried something might change over time, you can always take a screenshot - you won't be penalized for extra screenshots. If something changes, like user's forum set, and you don't have any proof of how it was before, it will be invalid. For 117, the anime should have 0 openings and 0 endings. The challenge does not have a minimum duration requirement - if the minimum duration requirement is not mentioned in the item, the anime you watch can be any length. |

(52) Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or above and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more can the anime still be airing when I start it for this item? (100) Finish an anime you put on-hold or dropped on or before July 1, 2020 that has two or more episodes and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more and for this one do I need to necessarily have it on-hold? because I have some animes in watching that are 'on-hold' for a long time now. |
