protoplasm said: outbreak_studio said: I use anilist to track my anime insted of mal anime tracking list; this is due to the idea that i can create a list speifically for the 2019 Watching Challenge and only have anime i plat to watch in that list which just makes it much faster. I suppose this is not gonna cause any issues right? Am I the only who is using other tracker or are there other people using other trackers.. I use anilist as well, because of Taiga. No problems there. But updating your MAL would be more optimal because on anilist I don't think it's possible to see started/finished date as easily as MAL (if it's too much trouble, do check Douki and do a test-run to see if it transfers start/finished dates^^) Well you can create a list with only the items for the challenge on MAL with the tags system. Personally I use the "hold-on" part for the... hold-on animes xD but you can do it like I do with my completed AWC 2019 -> here <- Just need to add the tag on the anime description  And then copy past the link and changed the "status"number (if you want completed or watching) and name tag at the end on the link I put here https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Titadou?status=2&tag=AWC+2019&order= For the numbers it's easy, 0 (all), 1 (watching), 2 (completed), 3 (hold-on) etc. Just put the link for this list in your challenge and it's easy peasy and fast! Edit : oh and change the username too, it's pretty obvious but... XD |

| Just a quick question: For N.26: Watch an anime with a full English title, would Zombieland Saga count? Wondering because Saga is the name of the setting, but it should be fine right? Thanks in advance :) |
 |
| Thanks, I guess I just missed the second half of their explanation for it, "Angelic title will be granted to those that achieve a perfect inspection. Perfect as in nothing asked to fix. Sorry for the dumb question. |

 |
| For the on-hold item, as I am planning the tiers above too, I've never updated an episode count of an anime so almost all my on-hold entries are without starting date and episode history. Should I skip the item or one of those could still be valid? |

Sky345 said: 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? I'm sorry to say, but no. As it is there are already 70 anime for the ones who do the highest section. Anything more than that will begin to get like last year, and I rather not have a repeat of that ^^'. However, you can do it unofficially if you want, please be sure to put the extra items into a separate spoiler. yungbumeater-kun said: Just a quick question: For N.26: Watch an anime with a full English title, would Zombieland Saga count?

| what are the exact rules regarding on-hold/dropped anime? There are a few shows that friends have shown me the first (or first and second) episode(s) for last year, but I never got round to watching them properly and added them to on-hold. If I start watching them from episode 1 again, can they cound towards the challenge? |

| For the condition of "more/less than X minutes per episode", does the anime need to have more than 1 episode, or can it have 1 episode? |

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.

That word in itself isn't really an English word. For example, that would be like saying you can use an anime called "Causetheawesomenessishereisvalid The Animation" or something.

If the anime doesn't show any episode count in the anime history, it's most likely because it was deleted or added to your list without an episode count to begin with. BUT if you have seen this in your list, please contact me in private and share it with me, to test it as well. So, please either use a valid title or just skip the item.

|
| Thank you for the answer @Yuki-Chan276 and @SheyCroix, I will skip that item in order to avoid problems. Most of the animes in my on-hold are without episodes in their histories, but that's due to me keeping animes at 0 until finished so I don't think there's an anomaly; but I still thank you for your disponibility to find out the cause. |
|
| I would like to watch some anime this year that I won’t be using for the challenge. Do I need to indicate anywhere on the form about these “extra” series I’ll be watching that aren’t counting for anything? I only ask because I saw someone doing this and wanted to know if it was a requirement. |

| Regarding (Ad.17) Watch an anime with an honorific in the title... If there are extra characters or punctuation marks that comes directly after the honorific (Examples: Juubee-chan: Lovely Gantai no Himitsu (Referring to the ":"), Yoshinaga-san'chi no Gargoyle), it still counts, right? I personally don't see any reason for them to be invalid, but I'd rather be 100% certain. |

| Hi guys, I have a question.

Lastly, does anyone have recommendations for no. 17, watch an anime with a main character who is a professional in their field?

Assassination classroom mob psycho 100 and ghost hunt are the only ones I've seen that seem to fit the criteria, so many series feature students or teens or characters who earn money through less stable means.

| Hi guys, I'd like a confirmation for this item: (30) Watch an anime with 3 or more main characters with unnatural hair colors. It says: excludes black, brown, blonde, red, white and gray (and most shades of it); it's either green, blue, pink, purple or orange. I was wondering if I can use: Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fukkatsu? I was thinking about these 3 MC: Gowther (Dark pink), King (Orange) and Ban. For Ban, there is no info about his hair color, but on his wikia page, it says: Pale blue. Is this entry valid? Thanks :D |
