Screenshot Assistance: lifeiscrazy said: 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. Screenshot Assistance for Safari users: 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!). lifeiscrazy said: For those who use these Safari scripts, I added a new script for the new interest stacks. The title and status etc are stickied. Which currently makes it appear on top of the navigation/menu bar back behind the logo/header. New script to add/copy-paste the code for in step 4 is located here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/mexwhnhkw4qmjft/MAL-Sticky-Menu-fix-interest-stacks.css See these screenshots for what the problem was, and how it should look after the fix! :) https://imgur.com/a/fQfKhJu Challenge Spreadsheets:

| @AWC_mod Looking forward to this year's challenge again! Made by @Rin_Setsuna and @Brati *Note that the GIFs surpass the size restrictions for Signatures, unlike the still banners. Mods will likely remove the GIFs from your Signature if used there, due to this. They are usable on your profile and challenge post themselves, though. |

| Very first time doing a challenge! Thank you for throwing all of this together, looking super forward to it! I only had 3 questions pertaining to the challenge. 1: So when we complete(In my case the 75 items), we don't remove any of the code for the remainders, you'll just look through them for what's completed? 2: For challenges that screenshots seem needed, that don't have a [Screenshot:] tag, should we add one, or it's trust based on this case kind of thing? 3: I didn't see a title related to all 133 items, though the challenge *does* say *up to* 75 - So is there anything special for all 133? And if we want to do all 133, it says to put the remaining in a separate spoiler at the bottom. So we just follow the same format as the challenge, just putting the remainder in there? |

Remove any unused or additional items not required by your difficulty (delete them or move them to a separate spoiler at the end of your post). TigressLion0330 said: Yes, if you make a screenshot and want it to be linked on your form, please add [Screenshot:] under the anime title.2: For challenges that screenshots seem needed, that don't have a [Screenshot:] tag, should we add one, or it's trust based on this case kind of thing? TigressLion0330 said: There is no special title for doing all 133 items. You can do them as your personal restriction but you must pick 75 which will be inspected by us (if you want your form to be inspected, that is). 3: I didn't see a title related to all 133 items, though the challenge *does* say *up to* 75 - So is there anything special for all 133?

For items A4-A5, B1-B5, and L3-L4 you must use the duration stated in the item, regardless of your restriction. |

| @AWC_mod I made some challenge badges :) can I add more later? |
 |
| @Nyomdalee @Rin_Setsuna and @Brati @k3ti @RenxKentaro Thank you for the banners! And yes, you can always add more, RenxKentaro. |

| @thriwien @Karma_Lovers You have posted the wrong form in the AWC main thread. That form is the one that you will post after you have completed your challenge. Please go back to the main thread, copy all the contents of the "Show Sign-up Code" box in this post, and edit that into your post instead. Please do not delete your post and do not make a new post. Simply use the correct form in your existing post and you'll be good to go. |

| Hi :) A question about the following item: (M6) Watch an anime with a Japanese honorific in the main title — Valid Japanese honorifics are: chan, kun, san, sama, tan, bou, senpai, kouhai, sensei, hakase, dono. — It must be used as an honorific and not be a coincidental part of a word. • For example: Sankarea and Bishounen Tanteidan would be invalid; Gugure! Kokkuri-san, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and Oniisama e... would all be valid Can a staff member please confirm that the word "Ousama" (such as in Ousama Ranking and Ousama Game) is a valid example of "sama" in this case? I'm assuming it is, ref. "Oniisama", but would like to make sure. |
 |
| I'm sorry if this has been asked before or is written somewhere, but can I raise/lower the level I chose during the challenge period? For example, if I've completed level 1 and want to try level 2 or if I see that level 4 is too much so I wanna change to level 3, can I do it? |
 |
| Do the exceptions on the Armored quest restriction also apply to the full challenge Indomitable? So for example I'm still allowed to do all of quest B? Additionally, would movies be impacted by this restriction, or not because they count as "episodes" over 20 minutes? |

| where will the banners be? I couldn't find it. edit: nvm. just found it under "Signing Up & Completing Challenge Items". |

(L5) Watch an anime that has two or more adaptations listed under Related Anime Which Related Anime categories are considered "adaptions"? E.g. Dororo has two Alternative Versions, Lupin III has Other. Would both count? Any other Relation that would count? Neither of your examples works here. There is a specific category under Related Anime, "Adaptation". To be valid, an anime needs to have at least two of those. Dororo and Lupin III both have only one.

Yes, you can change your level anytime you want during the challenge period. CastawayJ said: Still trying to plan out my entries before signing up and starting. What level do I have to achieve to earn the "Taskmaster" bonus? I'm figuring out which classes I want more than trying to do as much as I can in the year. The Taskmaster title does not have a level requirement. You can get it for any level, as long as you complete the items in alphanumerical order. _R_a_y_ said: I chose level 5 difficulty and selected the 5 quests I want to complete. If I'm correct, I have to select a few more item from the remaining quests to complete 75 items. Can I select those items randomly and put them under a different category (like "Remaining item" or "Independent items") instead of just leaving them under their quest list? (Because I want to remove the quests and items I won't complete from the forum) Of course, I won't be changing the item serial numbers or the quest numbers they have. You can choose the remaining items randomly, but can't move them to a different category. Just remove the unused items from those Quests that you're not fully completing. |
 |
| Quick question, I'm wanting to complete every single item and Quest available (starting from the top and working my way down.) Is it possible that after I finish 75 items (and 5 full Quests) that I can continue to complete everything that's remaining without having to specify to the 'Inspector' which items I used for the challenge? As an example, if I fully finish every item (all 133) and quest (A-S), do I really need to have the first 75 items I completed be separate from the final 58 items that I complete? As in, add the final 58 items to their own spoiler tag or something. Or is it entirely possible that I can leave my post as is without isolating the final 58 items? |

| @mozgow I see... However, if I were to go from top to bottom (starting with item 1 and ending with item 133) then my 75th Item would be in the MIDDLE of quest K: 75. (K3) Watch an anime rated 6.00 or less that is tagged with your favorite genre by weighted score according to Anime+ Since Item 75 is directly in the middle of a quest, how would one go about splitting quest K? Would I have to have TWO quest K's present: one featuring the first half of the quest (used within the challenge to complete it) and the second half under a spoiler tag? Also, is the Artisan title even possible to get? MyAnimeList has only 4 'Work Life' Anime listed-- however, none of the quests feature 4 or less items. |
Olde-JoJan 11, 2022 3:17 AM
| @Olde-Jo You don't have to use the first 75 items for the challenge - it's possible to complete 75 items with full quests only. If you decide to use the first 75 item, it's up to you what you will have in the separate spoiler - we will not check it anyway. The Artisan title is added in anticipation for MAL to add more 'Work Life' tags to the database in the future. |

Additionally, would movies be impacted by this restriction, or not because they count as "episodes" over 20 minutes? Yes, the exceptions apply as well, you can do quest B. And movies count as episodes over 20 min, just like you said, so you can watch them with this restriction. :) |

Sure: https://myanimelist.net/anime/36027/Ousama_Game_The_Animation It has two adptations listed, Ousama Game and Ousama Game: Shuukyoku. |

_R_a_y_ said: Some stupid questions cause overthinking is my hobby (A6) Watch an Award-Winning anime - I believe it's the animes listed on the right side of the anime awards club page? That's right, all those listed under Anime Relations. (C4) Watch an anime by a studio you haven't seen anything from - Would a studio that's only made its debut recently work? Sure, studios that have only 1 anime are fine too. (C2) Watch an anime with one of the following video-on-demand services listed under Licensors/Producers: Funimation, Crunchyroll, Crunchyroll SC Anime Fund, Netflix - If I'm correct, then 'Super crooks' and 'Shuumatsu no Valkyrie' are licensed by netflix. But their licensor entry is blank? Would they be eligible? (considering they're actually licensed by netflix) It has to be listed on MAL to be valid. |

| This might get out of hand, but I thought of posting "routes" through the modified challenges that I rolled for myself, in case someone else wants to get the same title. WIZARD with CHRONICLER title Thermae Romae Harukanaru Toki no Naka de: Ajisai Yumegatari Aoi Hitomi no Onnanoko no Ohanashi Apfelland Monogatari Kaguya-hime no Monogatari Coquelicot-zaka kara Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror Kaze Tachinu |

| @suchkawaii Thank you for the banners! When you make more, please make a separate post - it will be easier to notice. |

| Can anyone suggest an Anime to complete the item: (A1) Watch a TV anime with 9 or fewer episodes I'm struggling slightly to find one for some reason. Everything I find under 9 episodes is either an OVA, ONA or movie. I am also using the 'Indominable' restriction, and thus, each episode has to be over 20 minutes in length. Any help is appreciated. |

| @devrat2012 Much appreciated, friend. That gives me a good assortment to choose from. Thank you for your time. |
mozgow said: @mr07 It's fine to ask those questions too. It is a Help/Discussion Thread and they're asking for help in finding an anime for an item. My bad, I was misreading the rule not allowing generalized recommendations and assumed it meant quest items lol. My reccomendation was Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Ressha-hen but someone has included that and plenty more above me. |

JitendraA03 said: Can I use one anime for two different challenges. For ex:- There's a challenge for which I have to watch an anime that started airing the year I joined MAL and a challenge (watch an anime with less than 9 episodes). Can I use a single anime for both of these? (Psycho-Pass 3) No, the challenge is made that each item should be filled by a different anime. I'd recommend using Psycho-Pass as the <9 ep. challenge as there are less options and pick something else for the join year challenge. |
| Hi,@AWC_mod Here's a tip for item 22. Watch an Alternative Version or Alternative Setting of an anime you've previously completed and/or item 23. Watch a TV-type anime with a Sequel listed under Related Anime that I've been using some time (but never seemed to share lol): Go to Anime+ --> Recommendations --> scroll down to "Missing titles" and you'll see what you watched and what you're missing from the stuff you already watched.. this comes in handy for these items :3 |
 |
| @nightfury10 Thank you for the banners! |
|
| @AWC_mod I made a few more, I was having fun :> |
| |
| I have a question. (D5) Watch an Alternative Version or Alternative Setting of an anime you've previously completed Can I use anime that I completed last year and now watch an alternative version of that anime for this challenge, or do I have to complete both normal and alternative versions this year? |

mozgow said: @Ykoz Either way is fine. It can be related to something you've watched in the past or to something you've watched this year. Whatever will work the best for you. OK, thanks:) |
