SheyCroix said: heya~ The only exceptions are listed in the extra title section. Besides those items, you can use your desired restriction for the duration per episode My choice... I am confused. If we apply a duration restriction like rushed, we must always watch episodes of less than 15 minutes (15 min per ep) except for the exceptions mentioned, maybe I'm wrong ? ^_^/ |

Half_Bl00d said: I have a habit of keeping only Airing anime on my Currently Watching section of the list. Any anime that has already ended before I start watching it, I do not add to the list before fully finishing it, and thus add it directly to the Completed section. Given the requirements for the challenges, I'll have to watch a lot of stuff from earlier years. My question is, do I have to add to my list anything I watch for the challenge immediately after starting it, or can I just keep adding stuff directly to the Completed section when I finish it? To add to the previous answer, I suggest to at least try adding/updating more constantly in the off chance you are asked for your episode history PrOxAnto said: Gotya, got a different answer before but I'll remove the "size=xx" command whenever I'm ready to turn it in. There's no harm to keep it as it is right now right, just makes it more accessible while I'm doing the challenge and editing my challenges ^^ Again thanks for the response, you've been a great help to me during the previous AWC's aswell. Yes, that's why I tagged him as well... and ye, you can leave it there for now. Tho make sure to remember to remove it when you turn in. sniphy said: Oh, maybe this year I'll manage to actually finish... I do like the tiered system, I feel like it makes it a lot more likely that I'll be able to keep up and complete the challenge at one point! I was thinking of making some banners for fun, but I'm wondering if there's any specific etiquette/requirements for them? Other than size of course, and the participating/completed text? I am a forum infant as you can see. Not really. Just the size, dimensions and that it at least says the challenge's name. You can make standard banners without the participating/completed as well, but those with them seems to be more preferred by participants.

| Hi! Can I use anime with any length if its not say otherwise? For example when it say "Watch an ONA", can I use a ONA with 1 min or I have to find an usual 15+min length anime? |

YayakoChii said: Hi! Can I use anime with any length if its not say otherwise. For example when it say Watch an ONA, can I use a 1 minute ONA or I have to find an usual 15+min length anime? Hi, if the item does not state that it requires a certain length you can use any length you want, the only exception would be if you are doing one of the restrictions that affect length. So yes you can use a 1 minute OVA for that item. |
| Item #17 Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field, its a bit of a stretch but will the Armed Detective Agency from Bungou Stray Dogs qualify? Its where the main characters work and it basically takes jobs from police for investigations and missions and so on. Plus, making sure Re:Creators counts as an all-English title? The "re" part isn't a problem, correct -_-? |

| Does Maquia: When the Promised Flower Bloomscount for item 16 "Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child"? |
| Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and tagged as Mystery, Psychological and/or Thriller So its an "and" or an "or". Is it enough if the anime tagged with one of them -for example Mystery-, or it have to be tagged with the first two and the third is only optional? |

YayakoChii said: The same problem every year ;-)Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and tagged as Mystery, Psychological and/or Thriller So its an "and" or an "or". Is it enough if the anime tagged with one of them -for example Mystery-, or it have to be tagged with the first two and the third is only optional? If it was only or, people would be asking if it can have more than one. So answering your question, any combination of them is allowed, including having only one. |

| Hoozuki from Hoozuki no Reitetsu 2nd Season counts to N.19? (Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field) |
| Hey, I have a question about one of the challenges. No.31 Watch an anime from a random TVTropes — state and link the trope; unless a specific title/anime is referenced in the example area, you can use any from the franchise mentioned. If the page says that the trope/examples shouldn't be used as one it won't be valid. So if a show appears in the example area it's not valid or if the example area says that show isn't an example of the trope? I'm a little confused about the wording |
 |
| @Rebel_Notorious Some tropes state specific anime in their example are. Something like In the first season of ANIME_TILE ... orIn the ANIME_TITLE OVA ... In the above case only the first season or the OVA will be valid.As for the second question, some tropes have "Based on opinion" header (or something similar). These tropes can't be used. EDIT: Found two headers for not valid tropes: Please don't list this on a work's page as a trope. This entry is trivia, which is cool and all, but not a trope. On a work, it goes on the Trivia tab. |

  |
| @mozgow Thanks, that's cleared it up for me. Just want to double check tho, From The New World is mentioned on the Love Dodecahedron trope and I was gonna use that as my item, so it's definitely valid right? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/LoveDodecahedron/AnimeAndManga |
|
| @simon443 This item already has two infos there [Username: | Profile's link: ] so just add the link so it would look like[Username: | Profile's link: | Screenshot: ] @Rebel_Notorious Yes, it's valid. |

| Thank you for organizing this challenge again! But I have a stupid question this year too: Lets say I will turn my challenge in after finishing the Intermediate Level. During the inspection some AWC staff member deems one of my chosen anime in the Novice block not eligable. I have to replace it by watching something new. But then the end date of that replacement anime will be later than the start dates of all the Apprentice and Intermediate challenge items. So basically if one of the Novice challenge items is failed in inspection, all the later challenge Levels have to be redone completely? |

| Novice 07: Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child If I use Yakusoku no Neverland for this item, do I have to wait for it to finish airing before I start the Apprentice level? Thank you in advance. :) |
| Hi everyone. So, a question. > Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field. Would you think Boku no Hero Academia could count? I mean, being a hero is an actual profession in their universe and All Might (who is among main characters) is a professional hero (he receives government pay for that, too). But I'm not sure if that's legit, as it's not really a "professional in some field", judging from the real world perspective. TheOrdinaryHuman said: Novice 07: Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child If I use Yakusoku no Neverland for this item, do I have to wait for it to finish airing before I start the Apprentice level? Thank you in advance. :) Yes, because you have to complete all the items required in order to progress to the next level. And you can't complete an anime while it's still airing. VessaKamio said: Hello everyone I totally failed to complete last year's challenge, hopefully this time I will success lol I have 3 (maybe dumb) questions: 1. What should I add in the "anime forum set" bullet? Or where can I verify or set it up 'cause I have no idea what that is and I don't know if I even have something set up? 2. Any recommendation for "Watch an anime with 10 or more episodes that are each 15 minutes or less"? 3. What do you mean by "watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total"? Thank you in advance!! 1. Name the anime you have on your forum signature/avatar. If none, just put N/A. 2. Miss Monochrome, Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken, Tonari no Seki-kun, Bananya 3. That means that when you sum up the length of all episodes, it must be at least 17 minutes combined. That allows for a single-episode title (ex. movie) with a duration of more than 16 minutes or an OVA series containing 17+ episodes 1 minute each. Basically, anything you like, as long as the combined duration is more than 16 minutes. Good luck this year! |

Thank you in advance. :) What I'm doing is I've started Boogiepop and Mob Psycho, but if they aren't finished by the time I finish novice, I have to drop them and watch two other shows. If you do this, remember that you can't use the anime in the next level either. If I finish novice in 10 weeks I'd probably take a break to let Mob Psycho finish. |

Thank you, I think I'll do just that. |

Cliffdreams said: I dont undarstand the participation process, how can i join to the challenge?, and do i have to see a determinated type of anime?, sorry, i know its a dumb question. Thanks for your patience! Hi, you join by posting the Novice sign up code and also filling in any information required at the top of your post, you then choose 20 out of the 31 items to do, then you have to watch an anime that fits into that item. Once you have done that if you want to continue, move onto the next difficulty and do more items. Kurosawa-san said: Hi everyone.

If you are unable to complete one due to not finding any anime available, let us know to add the note here for your tried difficulty level. I'm using Action - TV - Winter - Persistent restrictions and the expert section turns impossible. E.02: If anyone chooses a Type restriction, then you can't complete since all the entries are movies. E.04: There are 5 with Action, but they are not TV. E.06: Without any genre, for TV there are only 6 to choose and are only compatible with the Rushed restriction (in my case only 1 has the Action genre (Ladyspo) but it only works with Spring and Rushed) For OVAs there are 2 Rushed, 9 Persistent (a few hentais), and 2 that are in the middle. For Specials there are only 2. For ONAs there are 25 that only fits for Rushed. E.08: 24 pages of OVAs, and a few entries of movies, specials and ONAs. Oh, well. I guess I won't be able to boast having completed the Expert section uwu |
| Is there any kind of extra gratification or title gifted for those who completed all the items of each section, instead of only the minimum amount required? |
