ObliviousOkapi said: 1. There are some challenges where the options are actually exhaustible ("same season you joined MAL" and "between 1917 and 1940" for example). In this case if you have already watched all of the anime that fit the challenge then you must rewatch one. For anime where you still have options left then you should either look harder or ask here for which ones you can watch. The challenge does state that you should try some stuff out of your comfort zone so as long as there are anime that fit the challenge that you haven't watched and are subtitled into English then you should try those anime. If you've watched most of the anime that fit the challenge and none of the remaining ones interest you I think it would be okay to rewatch an anime for that challenge.@SheyCroix 1. Can you rewatch a show for any category other than the 'Rewatch a show' one? 2. If you pick a long running show that you don't expect to get over within the year, when can you say you've 'completed' the show for the challenge? Also, somebody recommend an anime I can watch for the 'Watch an anime a Challenge Participant recommended to you' challenge! Here's my challenge list! 2. You can't use a long runner that you started watching prior to 2016. If you choose to use a long runner then you must have watched all currently aired episodes when you turn in your form. |

| About the non-human main character thing. Can the character originally be human but turn into something non-human? Basically I started watching a show for the criteria but I noticed that in the beginning the main characters seem to be all human apart from one (apparently they'll all become non-human at some point), but spoiling myself I learned and even the last main was originally human, even though at the beginning of the anime they had already become non-human. So I was just wondering if I can use the anime I started for this criteria or if I should just look for something else. |
 |
| Anyone have any recommendations for me for the challenge? Also, in regards to the challenge: 1. Do the "demographics" questions only apply to Seinen, Shounen, Shoujo, and Josei? I'm not familiar with any other demographic categories commonly used for anime. 2. For the "studio/director/composer you don't know" challenge, the explanation says "i.e. you haven't seen anything by them before." Is this intended as a hard and fast rule or just as a general explanation of what the challenge means? I'm asking because I "don't know" the director or composer for the vast majority of anime I've watched, simply because I've never bothered to look them up. |

It's short, fun and both of the directors are pretty new. I checked you list and you haven't watched any other anime directed by them. |
| @Setzer Ahh!! Thanks for the new suggestion aha!! Anyone have any idea what anime had a protagonist with green hair... >_< 1-cour or movie if possible. Also, not sure if I'm being dumb or just unlucky, but with the tropes one, I've been hitting random for about 10 mins now and I'm getting nothing... Do I continue to hit it till an anime shows up or am I missing something? |
Rojo said: There are some tropes in which there are no anime examples, but it shouldn't take many times at all before you get one that has anime examples (I'm pretty sure at least half of the tropes have anime examples). Beside the random trope button there is also a random media button so you may be using that button by accident.@Setzer Ahh!! Thanks for the new suggestion aha!!

| Does anyone have any recommendations for the "adults as the main cast" and "original anime" challenges that are 1-cour? I'm completely stumped on the adult one, since pretty much everything I'm interested in takes place in high school lol. And I'm too lazy to find an original anime. |

Zazie122 said: Does anyone have any recommendations for the "adults as the main cast"? You could watch Psycho-Pass, I think they're maybe in their 30s and it has 11 episodes |

Original anime: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 It's about what happens when a magnitude 8 earthquake hits Tokyo. It has 11 episodes... |

simon443 said: You could watch Psycho-Pass, I think they're maybe in their 30s and it has 11 episodes I assume you're referring to the edited version or whatever it's called, but the MAL entry has it at 22 episodes. I'll watch it one of these days, though. I just know that if I have anything longer than 1cour for too many of the challenges I'll never actually finish anything lol. Thanks anyway though! Maron1 said: Original anime: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 It's about what happens when a magnitude 8 earthquake hits Tokyo. It has 11 episodes... That could work! Unless I find something that's more to my tastes (I'm fujoshi trash but I also enjoy shitty harems) I'll probably use this since it's short. Thanks as well! |

Zazie122 said: Does anyone have any recommendations for the "adults as the main cast" and "original anime" challenges that are 1-cour? . Kaiba and Tokyo Magnitude(as suggested) work for Original. Gangsta, Tatami Galaxy, Golden Boy(6 eps), Redline.(movie), are all adults as main cast. |

Death Parades main cast consists of adults so that should work for the challenge. |

Hey, thanks for the recommendations. I have another question, can i use Ansatsu Kyoushitsu for the "Watch an anime with a non-human main character" category?? (Koro-sensei and Nagisa are listed as MCs, but the category says "a" non-human MC....so I guess just having Koro-sensei is okay?? |
| @Tendon_Unajuu I think it should be enough. I'm using that one for my challenge too |
| @Setzer thanks for finding my list! I would have never found it. |

You could also use it for the "mc is a professional in his field" challenge and watch Ushio to Tora 2nd season for "non-human mc" (You rated season 1 with a 9 so you are probably watching it anyway). |

| Sorry, another question on the "main cast as children" category. The signup sheet says (in italics) children should be 12 or under, and the FAQ says up to 14 is ok. So, is 14 okay then? (Can I use Hotaru no Haka?? one of the MC is 14). Thanx~ |

Pkfire0 said: Could I get a shortish action anime that began airing between 1981 and 1990? and another one for 1991-2000? Thanks! Setzer already gave you my recs for the 80s. One is a movie the other is a 6 ep OVA that's a complete story For 90s I went with Golden Boy but that isn't action. You could go with the Kyou kara Ore wa!!, Gunnm or the JoJo OVAs but most of them simply serve as advertisements for their respective manga. If you want something a little more substantial, you could go with 08th MS team. Edit: parsing through the 90s made me realize how dominant some of those shows were. There were entire season where no new shows came out because YYH, DBZ, and Slam Dunk were all running concurrently. Along with super long running shows like Doraemon. Most of the shows that even got picked up were 3 core or more. |

|
| @nikochin, @Ratohnhaketon Since we are talking about an "Anime Challenge" is the anime lineup often used.... but the one I'm using here is the one used by MAL (the way they are dividing the seasons for the Seasonal Anime Page). It would be what I said before: SheyCroix said: Winter : December, January, February Spring : March, April, May Summer : June, July, August Fall: September, October, November I do have to note that some anime, if aired in the last/early few days of the month, are included in the next/previous season... but there aren't that many like this. SO! for your selection of anime keep in mind my example. |
SheyCroix said: Okay I'm confused now. The earliest in the winter season always starts on January and ends in March. Also most winter season movies air in March, and then the new season starts in April, so isn't it like:Nooooooooo, no, no,no x999999999 @OneGuy December is part of Winter.

It's exactly like you posted there. nikochin said: @SheyCroix so are we talking about calendar seasons or anime seasons?? In the beginning I though we were talking about calendar seasons and was outraged when someone above said that December is part of autumn, but then I got used to the idea that this was about anime, after all, so it must have been referring to anime airing seasons. Which one is it then? To be clear: Calender seasons and anime seasons are almost the same. Fall begins on the 21th of september and ends on the 21th of december in calender seasons. So yeah, most of december is indeed fall. |

Here in MAL the TV anime is often divided like this Winter : December, January, February Spring : March, April, May Summer : June, July, August Fall: September, October, November but then for the rest (specials, movies, onas, ovas) they use the regular one Winter : January, February, March Spring : April, May, June Summer: July, August, September Fall : October, November, December That indeed is a bit confusing.... then I was saying that the one used should be the TV one since that's the one I often use..... mm so for this challenge the months that are problematic would be December, March, June and September.... then let me think how I should work with this ........... So to not make it so difficult I will use the season depending on what you pick. Let's say you joined in March. You can use either Winter or Spring BUT if you use Winter you have to watch anything not TV, if you go with Spring you have to watch a TV anime........... I can't make this easier lol |

But I totally understand, some of the shows start at the end of the previous month, like December, but in this case, most still start only on January, and they will air until March. But as you like, I understand it in any case. And @nikochin yes, December is part of the winter when it comes to calendar seasons, but from the beginning I was under the impression that we go by anime seasons, and for me it always just felt like it went like I said. |
