| Glad to see it's up so soon this year. It's already looking refreshing and I like how some of the challenges are ones from last year with a new spin. Particularly got a kick out of the "watch something that's been on PTW for too long", yowza some of them have been there for years. I'll go ahead and just leave Aoi Hana here for anyone who needs a shoujo ai series. It's not fetishized and doesn't go use yuri as fanservice, so I'd say it's perfect for anyone who's reluctant about stepping out into that territory. |

I actually had this ptw so I'm gonna go for this first then, some good yuri to start off with is a nice idea |

| Might be a dumb question, but where do I get the banners from? I saw them in the other thread but couldn't find any links to them in order to copy them into my sig. Edit - second question : can different anime from the same franchise be used? IE Could I use different Mobile Suit Gundam anime for different challenges? |

 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Can I only use anime that I started in 2016? Because I've been watching Gintama for a couple months and I'm only halfway through, but I plan to finish it in 2016. |
| Somewhat similar question to dertswa687o above me: It says that the anime must be watched during the challenge period. For the anime I previously dropped/on-hold, do they have to be anime I dropped during 2016 or do they count if I dropped them a previous year but finish them during the challenge period from where I left off? I.e., if I dropped an anime from 2014 at episode 7, if I watch episodes 8-13 during the challenge period does that count? |

| It says you have to place your sign-up date but the challenge began on January 1st already, and I have completed some anime that might fit in some criteria. Can I add them or not? |
dertswa687o said: Yes, only anime that you started watching this year (think of how many categories you could have filled with the fall 2015 anime lol)Can I only use anime that I started in 2016? Because I've been watching Gintama for a couple months and I'm only halfway through, but I plan to finish it in 2016. PavoKujaku said: Actually thanks for bringing that up. That item is the only exception as to the challenge period, since it doesn't make sense to just use something dropped/on-hold from this year. So they should have been dropped/on-hold before, but started again this year.Somewhat similar question to dertswa687o above me: It says that the anime must be watched during the challenge period.

 |
| Anyone a recommendation for some good 80's anime? Can be based on my anime list, but I am generally open for everything as long as it is around two cours long. It would probably also make sense to stick this thread at the top of the section like the sign-up thread. |

| This is my first time attempting this challenge. Does anyone have suggestions for an ONA? |
 |
| Hi fellows. Could I get reqs on these two things: Watch an anime with a main character that is not Japanese Watch an anime with a score of 7.0 or below For the last one, I guess I just want something underrated rather than actually bad if possible. Thought you guys might have some ideas. |

| Very happy to see this challenge returning in 2016! Looking forward to a year of new anime with everyone else participating. :) |

Watch an anime that was recently reviewed So, I assume that I have to pick an anime that has been reviewed in 2016, correct? Or can I pick something that has been reviewed on, say, December 2015? It'd make more sense to go with an anime that has been reviewed in 2016 (given that this a 2016 challenge), but the current wording doesn't seem to indicate that, so I'd like a clarification here. |

Click on the reviews bit, get something off the front page. It's basically a free square. Super safe bet = watch something on going and it'll get reviewed shortly after being finished. Boom easy peasy. Sawt0othGrin said: "» Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant » Watch an anime that another user has watched for this challenge" SOMEBODY GIVE ME ANIME FOR DISSSS CHALLENGES! Nisekoi for the first. I've watch K-On and the Berserk movies so far, so you can use one of those. ~~~~~ I think I pulled my answer from a question above, but the main series of Major is 6 different entries and not 1 entry correct? So I can use Major for 6 different challenges? |
AudioTsunamiJan 5, 2016 8:49 PM
| So can I use one anime to fill up 3 different challenges, for example, I just finished watching Ushio to Tora and it finishes the challenge for "non-human main character, demons, and supernatural." Can I or can I not? |

Ok, so what about animes with more than one sequel like for example "Major" where it has 6 sequels. Can I use each season for different challenges or would they be considered the same anime? I know it sounds like a dumb question but I just want to make sure cause on MAL they are considered separate animes but to people they are considered the same anime. |

Yep, you can use different titles for different categories, it doesn't matter if they are from the same franchise. |

| Are there any shounen-ai series a straight male might enjoy for the plot (not that kind of plot) before I just stick with my picked out harem (Tenchi Muyo)? I want to try something new but everything looks sappy and bleh. |

| Just for added clarification, do we need to simply WATCH part of a series (one or two episodes) that fit a given criteria or do we have to COMPLETE whatever we start? |
| For this section: Watch an anime by the same director/composer/studio as one of your favorites anime For the same director, do I choose the anime the director worked on as a director or any position in an anime he has been involved with?
