The event is now over! You can see how you placed here. Welcome to MAL's Annual Easter Hunt!  Story While looking for the perfect place to hide chocolate for good little users, MAL's Easter Bunny fell asleep in a warm and cozy nook. Little did he know that this warm spot was actually the heater for a huge mecha... And when he woke up, all of the sudden he was floating in space! MAL's Easter Bunny is now in full panic at how to solve this complex predicament he's in. Please help him find his 16 chicks (easy route) and 18 eggs (hard route) before the spaceship returns to Earth! Each chick/egg will have a letter on it—but the letters are scrambled. You'll need to collect and unscramble the letters to determine where the Easter Bunny is currently floating. You may work alone or with 1 trusty partner. Easy _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ (3 / 3 / 5 / 5 letters) Hard _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ (6 / 4 / 6 / 2 letters) How to Play   First, you need to choose a route: Easy or Hard. We suggest that users who are new to the event or do not have a lot of time, do the Easy route. The hunting skills you learn during the Easy route will help you tackle the Hard route (later or next year). Easy route: You will be looking for letters inside a chick outline, like on the Gudetama picture to the right → Hard route: You will be looking for letters inside an egg outline, like the Toshokan Sensou picture to the right → The images with the chick/egg will always appear on the last picture of the image gallery in a database entry page: Anime, Manga, Character. To find which entries have chicks/eggs, you need to solve hints. The first hint is given to you in this thread. For all subsequent hints, they will be visible on one of the tabs of the entry that you found the chick/egg, excluding: Reviews, Recommendations, Stats, Featured. Hints will not be inside other related database entries unless the relation/link text itself is a clue. Look for anything unusual.
Clickable hints should be clicked! The hints themselves are mostly not difficult. Searching "anime + ..." a few keywords from the hint will bring the entry up in DuckDuckGo (no personalised search results). If you're not getting reasonable results in DuckDuckGo, also give Google and the MAL search box a try! We are not expecting you to have seen/read all these anime/manga! Finally, doing the hunt will look something like this... Example:
Once you have all the letters, it's time to unscramble them for your final hint! Submit Your Answers Use this Google Form to submit the chocolate's location before the time runs out!

 |
| Trying to find the hint at the page is just impossible. I've checked every single page multiple times and can't find anything. |
 |
| I made the hint location on chick #3 (the hint for chick #4) easier to spot since that seemed to have stumped many! (Repost because I can't count.) @Karinara @Kazuki-kun_ @Aemnesias @LewdWarrior You should be able to see it now, honest. Take a look at all the tabs once more. |
| For chick #10: |
| Is the game linear or are there multiple hints in one page for multiple letters? |

My_Tea_ said: It's linear. One hint per page which leads to another one page. Sometimes users jump or mistake real stuff as hints though :'DIs the game linear or are there multiple hints in one page for multiple letters? No. Look beyond that. |
| Stuck on finding chick 3 |
