zombie_pegasus said: vikki7783 said: If you feel like it no longer fits you could use Shounen Maid for that challenge. It's focused on the relationships between Chihiro and the people around him (there's some yaoi subtext, but I don't think that would disqualify it). You're pretty much caught up with it and you aren't using it for any other challenges so it seems like a good decision.I've had Kiznaiver down for an anime that focuses on non-romantic relationships since the first few episodes aired and it was focused on friendship and stuff like that. But in the recent episodes, everything went to hell with a love pentagon so it doesn't fit anymore does it..? need confirmation. oh that's true, thanks. #30characters |

| @Ryuuzahar Watch an anime with a main cast mainly of one gender: Free It's better than what it looks like. Kimi to Boku Sketchbook Full Colors There's no romance in any of them. There is some romance in Kimi to Boku but most of it is in the second season I think. You watched a lot of the anime I had in mind for "Watch an anime with children as the main cast" but if you don't mind a shoujo: Gakuen Alice Professional in his field: Maybe Claymore Full Metal Panic You could also watch the second season of: Ghost in the Shell SAC Watch an anime adapted from a manga with a score of 8.0 or higher: Bokurano Can also works for "Watch an anime with children as the main cast" Gansta Just so you know, the ending is rushed. Monster Shiki Not really sure if you're going to like this one. I'm not sure if you're going to like my recommendations. I tried to find some anime that are closer to what you like but it's a bit hard with these categories. |

Miragee said: Have you seen those characters? They are basically human just with other outside appearance. I think having humaoid children is good enough. I think it would be silly to not let it count because it follows the purpose of the challenge. Not really, there's no age specified but some of them seems older than 12 so I can't really say I would accept it for that particular item Rojo said: Does any of the Pokemon series/movies count for the "Watch a show where the main cast are children." This may be asking a bit much but, if I can't use Pokemon, can anyone see anything from the "missing titles" part of this list that I can use? I have an extra rule for my challenge which is to only use shows off that list. http://myanimelist.net/anime/20159/Pokemon__The_Origin If you post your form link I can check it... georgi075 said: how do you enter the compotition it doesnt say i really wnt to do it DeadlyRaven said: @georgi075 Read the first post of this thread, everything you need to know about how to enter and what to do is written on it.

Use Macross for 3 cour and bartender for your ptw one. |
Watch an anime that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship // Hoshi no Koe --- they aren't in a romantic relationship For the missing ones the one in ptw too long it's up to you, since you are the one who knows for how long those have been there. For the 2-cour one, based on your PTW list, you could try http://myanimelist.net/anime/26/Texhnolyze http://myanimelist.net/anime/2158/Terra_e_TV http://myanimelist.net/anime/721/Princess_Tutu http://myanimelist.net/anime/593/Mugen_no_Ryvius since they tend to be liked most of the time |
| They are in a romantic relationship in Hoshi No Koe. Weren't they dating, then they started long distance? |
| Question: "Watch an anime one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length (easy/medium/hard)" ^Can somebody explain me what that means? Is it a long anime? And I assume I have to pick the hard section one, if I chose the hard path? "Choose a random trope from TVTropes and watch an anime listed under the trope" ^I dont get this one either. I dont see any anime on this site. :P Thanks in addition for helping me :)) |

"What means one-/two-/three-cours (or more) in length?" -- Normally a "cour" is the three-months period often used to divide the seasons. The length for the anime tends to be: 1-cours : 11 - 13 episodes (regularly over the course of a season) 2-cours : 23 - 26 episodes 3-cours or more : more than 34 episodes So easy is 11-13 eps at least, medium is atleast 23eps, hard is at least 34 eps. For the TVTropes one, You got to TVTropes.com, click the button that says random trope, scroll down until you see the Anime+Manga tab, open the tab, pick something from there, feel free to random until you find something interesting. |

| Hello! I need help for a couple of things: Watch an award-winning work >>I'd preferably like a movie but if a series is really good I wouldn't mind either. Technically I've seen a lot of the award-winning movies but I didn't know about MAL back then. An anime with children as the main cast >>Is Pupipo! okay? I noticed its about a 5th grader which usually means they're 10-11 years old. Then again, I only saw one ep so there may be more adult presence later?? Watch a Historical, Military or Police anime >>Does movies or specials work here? I have a Conan special I'm planning on watching but I wasn't sure if it has to be TV type. An anime with an archetype as a main character >>Preferably something other than Madoka, which I do realize is on my PTW but I'm not exactly sure if I want to watch it yet... if that makes sense An anime recommend by another participant >>I'm not picky about my genres nor do I care about the length. Although currently, I'm on a short anime kick. Thanks in advance! My challenge list for reference: link. The rest of my blanks needs me to go and look at what other people have done so I haven't touched it yet. |
| @rayeine Watch an award-winning work >>I'd preferably like a movie but if a series is really good I wouldn't mind either. Technically I've seen a lot of the award-winning movies but I didn't know about MAL back then. Tsumiki no Ie (short film) Watch a Historical, Military or Police anime >>Does movies or specials work here? I have a Conan special I'm planning on watching but I wasn't sure if it has to be TV type. None of the challenges have to be type TV. People had decided that the cour challenge and season challenge would be logical to have as only type tv (only TV series are considered to have cours and seasons for non-TV anime work differently), but it has been decided that you don't have to watch a TV series for any of the challenges. An anime with an archetype as a main character >>Preferably something other than Madoka, which I do realize is on my PTW but I'm not exactly sure if I want to watch it yet... if that makes sense Anne Happy (genki girl), Elfen Lied (yandere), Zombie Desu Ka? (magical girl) An anime recommend by another participant >>I'm not picky about my genres nor do I care about the length. Although currently, I'm on a short anime kick. Non Non Biyori is a good one. Detroit Metal City is also good and it's quite short (150 minutes). |

| @zombie_pegasus Thanks! I'm going to use DC for the police one then. What award did Tsumiki no Ie win? I heard a lot about Detroit Metal City... If I don't particularly enjoy heavy metal music, would I still like it? |

yhunata said: Under 12 for normal users, under 14 if you were misinformed that that was the restriction.

"Watch an anime with teenage protagonists" may as well be "watch an anime", which would be a pretty illogical challenge. You're welcome.

The other one is harder because shows that feature real arche-type characters are not that great most of the times. You might want to try out Osomatsu-san if you are up for a slap-stick/nonsense comedy (I think those brothers could count as archetypes). Maybe Samurai Champloo or one of the Durarara sequels. |

Thank you ^^ Your list is restricted, so I can see what you have watched or liked, so apologies if you have seen these. Monster does focus on characters who are somewhat isolated in their journeys and deals with psychology, various moral issues, and some philosophy. It is on the longer side, but worth the watch. Kino's Journey is another you may like. It focuses on Kino, and her motorad Hermes as they travel around visiting different countries. They only stay 3 days and learn about the country. There is a lot of philosophy and getting into how people justify what they do. It can get rather deep. |
