What is even meant by pattern? I feel there should be some alterations to the choice of words and sentence structures in the explanation to the challenge, as many things can be interpreted differently. (An example of this; "Watch a completed anime with a popularity of or above #601" — seeing that above means better in the case of tallying a list, it shouldn't be interpreted as is explained earlier in this thread, meaning #602, #603... etc., the challenge should instead say below.)
If the challenge actually means shows with popularity of #602, #603... etc then I think the wording is fine. Above doesn't necessarily mean better, it means bigger more than better. It does say more or less popular it says above the number 601 so bigger than 601 not more popular than 601.

Hyouge Mono, if too long maybe Mononoke.

12. Watch an anime with/by an artist in the Top 50 People
Just making sure again... :^) This is fine if the person is a voice actor? The word 'artist' confuses me, but then again the Top 50 is mostly just seiyuus, so it must be okay?

Mononoke is a sequel but you don't really need to watch the prequel. However if you want you should watch the last 3 episodes of Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror. Those episodes have a bit of relevancy in the second story but they are optional.

However from what you've written on your profile "I have a knack for animation, narrative design and overthinking silly shit. Dramas and slice-of-life are muh jam" and the high compatibility I think that you would love or at least like Hyouge Mono, consider giving it a chance.

@AWC_mod
"Watch a completed anime with a popularity of or above #601"
is that means an anime with a higher ranking than 601, or a lower ranking than 601?

it means anything that is ranked as 601 or higher, like 602, 603, 604 and so on

That doesn't make sense. The lower the number the most popular the title is so #1 is the most popular title on MAL. So should it be titles with numbers going less than 600?

Well that's the idea, to watch something not so popular...

Ren-chan said:
@AWC_mod
so for the Historical, Martial Arts, Samurai and/or Super Power and similar ones, the anime we choose has to have at least 2 of those tags? or 1? 3? I'm still confused :(
Or like Action and/or Adventure, do we just pick 1?
also I need help with Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese - no fictional settings, has to be a real nationality; state the character/nationality. 91 Days wouldnt work because Lawless, Illinois isnt a real place, or am I misunderstanding?

For the ones that require a tag the < and/or > means that it can be any of them or all them. It can have just one or a combination of them.
As for the Nationaliy one yes. It has to make reference and/or clearly state a real place/nationality. Something like Baccano! or Kekkai Sensen works.

ADelicateOrange said:
Also, how do I come into contact with MAL for #73? I only have Naruto: Shippuden as my only drop, and no on holds. Does anyone know when it's going to end? I know it's going to be a bear to finish when it does conclude.

Given your case you have one of two options :
1) Finish watching the completed anime that you have been watching the longest (let's say something like Gintama?)
2) Start a new title, watch one or 3 episodes, leave it there for about 3-4 months and then finish it (that would count as on-hold)

zombie_pegasus said:
All "elitist" anime like LoGH, Aria the Animation, and Tatami Galaxy have this property. Recently completed anime will also be like this, but by the time you finish the challenge they likely won't be. Find any anime with over a 7.8 that has under 100k members and you'll likely find more.

They shouldn't worry about it after, since it ask for how the stats are just when they start watching it...

GamerDLM said:
Just as a preemptive question, do we really need to edit the bingo card for turn-in in the event that the pattern can't be rotated or inverted (Ie. Diamond or Full Card)?
It just seems unnecessarily tedious so I was kind of wondering what was the specific purpose outside of that specific exception.

If you go for any pattern, yes. You have to turn-in your bingo card edited... if it's tedious for you imagine how it will be for use if everyone turned-in their challenge without that...
The only ones that don't have to mark down their card are those going for a Full Card.

@Sojin thanks for that explanation (post #136). Will link to it in the FAQ

@I_Donut please don't double post, just edit your last reply

Sojin said:
Sweetheart there is a total of 74 challenges, and you only need to complete the 48 challenges from your bingo card and 1 challenge of your choice making 49 challenges, SO U NEED THE CARD
I know that I need to have a Bingo Card (and I created one for the challenge). But do I really need to create a patterned version of it, where I mark the ones I watched for the challenge?
I think only @AWC_mod can answer that.

and @Sojin @Jinbou @zal
As answered above, only those who turn-in with a Full Card don't need to go to the trouble of marking down everything.... since, well, they did everything ;D

zombie_pegasus said:
I'm going to be restricting myself to only anime 100 minutes and up. Is there anything I can get from this or should I just keep this to myself? It's so easy to cheat with "TV series only" that I don't even trust myself with that restriction and it also restricts me from movies and longer anime of other types. After all the shortest TV anime is 180 seconds while the shortest anime entry is 3 seconds, not much of a difference.

Sadly no. You have to use one of those restrictions provided

Plate said:
"67. Watch an anime that starts with the same second letter as your username"
Starts with the same second letter? Or has the same second letter? Either "starts" or "same" needs to be removed for this to make sense.

It doesn't need any word removed.... It means that you need to watch an anime which title start with the same second letter your username has. In your case you need an anime which title starts with < L >
and @aifukola yes, for you is < I >

@puraragi thanks for your explanation (post #195). Will link to it in the FAQ

Shuichi2 said:
I haven't started yet cos I'm half asleep and it isn't making much sense to me, but can any anime chosen for this overlap from any other challenges from the challenge club? I'd like to know before I decide on a difficulty.

For this challenge, as long as it's something watched during 2017 you can use it. As for the club you better ask there (but there are challenges over there that can't overlap with this one)

11. Watch one of the 5 lowest scored anime from your favorite studio

I'm a bit confused with this one. Does this only apply for certain anime such as movies or TV series? Because most of the series I find are all sequels, picture dramas or other specials for other series. They're also usually very short, like 1 episode that is 3 minutes long

Well, here we go again. I started off strong last year but then I was practically on a break from anime for a few months. I'll try to spread my watching more evenly this time around so as to not burn out. The bingo card is a neat idea, although I think it'll require more planning on what to watch.

Good luck to all the participants!

As stated you can only use anime watched during 2017. So yes, it won't be valid if you try to use any anime started before 2017

Hellow :3

I have a question regarding challenge number 58: It says,

--For the following items, the anime should have a total duration of 16 minutes or more.--

And I want to go for the kids, magic anime Fastening Days (https://myanimelist.net/anime/28205/Fastening_Days?q=Fastening%20Days)

It consists of 2 episodes wich are 10 minutes each, does this anime qualify for this challenge?
