since this will be my first challenge, I want to ask this stupid question: I need to watch the whole anime to make it count, right ? Not only one episode :D

Sorry, it just too chaotic for me x-x

Yes, you need to complete the whole anime for it to count.

Hello, I have a few things to request from you.

First, may I make my own personal banner to use for the challenge, or must I choose one from the list?

Second, may I have some suggestions for "(27) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread"?

Third, may I have a staff member's help for "(102) Watch an anime recommended to you by a challenge staff member"?

Thank you very much.

First time doing one of these challenges so bear with me.
I'll be asking for recommendations at a later date.

My question is in finding anime with multiple genre tags. Is there a way to search for one with x-number of tags? I dont recall if I have ever come across one with 7 before, granted I rarely look at the genre tags to begin with.

I asked for this before, but ultimately decided to use recommended anime for other items (turned out they nicely fitted some other, more difficult challenges) so I hope it's okay to ask again.

I need a recommendation for (27) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread

Please, give me at least 2 suggestions of anime that aren't longer than 10h in total. I want it to be some 80s or 90s OVA or movie (no TV series), excluding comedies (unless mixed with some serious elements) and family movies like Ghibli. Preferably something from this list: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/fuyuki?status=7&tag=facebook (the PTW part ofc) but of course it can also be something outside of it as long as it fits the criteria.

Also, I want to ask the challenge staff the same for (102) Watch an anime recommended to you by a challenge staff member

As long as it's the first one by Tezuka Productions you've watched, you won't fail. But please to state the studio and, in the case you will watch anything else by Tezuka Productions, state start and finish dates on your completed list. This is the only way to verify that it was really the first one.

Gaige said:

While its not against the rules, re-watching is not something we support. The main point of the challenge is to explore and watch new anime. If, even then, you decide to re-watch a title you will need to update the dates accordingly on your anime list to reflect the dates in which the title was watched during the year.
