plutodiplomat said: Out of curiosity, what is a GAR themed anime? I think I've heard that acronym but I don't know what it stands for. Lastly, does anyone have recommendations for no. 17, watch an anime with a main character who is a professional in their field? I found bunny drop, the father is employed and listed as a main, but I wanted to see if there were any others I could use. 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. I'm not sure if Reigen or the ghost hunters in those other 2 count as professionals. You can find all valid anime for GAR here As for professions, on your PTW you have https://myanimelist.net/anime/37029/Hoozuki_no_Reitetsu_2nd_Season__Sono_Ni Others https://myanimelist.net/anime/5984/Ristorante_Paradiso https://myanimelist.net/anime/4722/Skip_Beat https://myanimelist.net/anime/7054/Kaichou_wa_Maid-sama https://myanimelist.net/anime/16906/Line_Offline__Salaryman Nezperdian said: @AWC_mod Here are a few badges I made since I personally like showing the difficulty. great~ thanks! Will add them soon |
-- Types restrictions: TV, ONA, OVA or Special. -- Items that specify a different type than your desired restriction are exceptions. They must be completed as stated. Novice #1: Watch an ONA This means i can watch an ONA for Novice item #1 and still go for the TV restriction right? |

plutodiplomat said: Can I take an anime I was using for one challenge and change it to the entry for another challenge in the same level? I'm using happiness charge precure for novice no. 20, watch a gar or magical girl themed series, but it could also fit in the unnatural hair colors for no. 30. and number 20 is a lot easier to fulfill than number 30. As far as I'm concerned you canNOT use the same anime more than once per challenge. Often Isekai and harem shows have characters with blue, green, purple or even pink hair. There's also Comic Girls, which is a slice of life anime about an anxious manga artist joining a mangaka dormitory. Three of the character have unusual hair colors (the main character has pink hair & two others have purple and blue hair respectively) |

Bialga said: So I use TV tropes a lot. For the TV tropes challenge, can I just click on "Random Media" until I get an anime? Seeing as how you will need to state and link an actual trope from TV tropes that has the anime you're using for the challenge, as opposed to the TV tropes page for the actual anime, I would recommend using the 'Random Trope' button instead. Most tropes have their own 'Anime & Manga' tab that you can find entries under, and you can always generate a new trope if you need one. |

BananiSandwich said: Hi. I'm a little confused about the items that say "(screenshot suggested)" I understand that I have to take and save screenshots but will those screenshots be required for inspection? They are not required in the sense that as long as you state the statistic you need for the challenge to be valid (as needed), you should be fine. However, there have been cases where statistics change over time and an item that was once valid may not be anymore, so evidence needs to be given for it to be considered valid. In this case, it is highly suggested you take screenshots for challenges that you feel might end up having this issue. Also, in cases where it's possible, please make sure your username is visible in screenshots, as that's our way of making sure screenshots are valid evidence. |

| Watch an anime with a main character that is a professional in their field a positive, slice of life anime? |
| For "Watch an anime by a studio with 3 to 30 anime in MAL's database", is it okay if just one of the studios match this description in the case where there are 2 studios? I'm referring to BanG Dream! Garupa☆Pico, and the studio with 3-30 anime is DMM.futureworks. The other studio, SANZIGEN has over 30. Thanks |

And if you can help me a 2nd time for this : "Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child." Barakamon can fit the human child criteria. It's one of the best slice of life anime I have ever watched. I really recommend it. |

| Hi @SheyCroix or @AWC_mod I just finished writing a post for the spreadsheet -------------------------------- edit: I somehow automated getting the db names but in a tricky manner not to get 429 - Too many requests like the baddies -------------------------------- Sup' challengers, I'm Dysp but you can call me the dont_bother_telling_me_things_i_already_know_and_i_know_youre_keeping_your_automated_tools_from_me_and_thats_why_im_mad guy. I just finished writing a whole 120 letters word and making a spreadsheet to help you manage your AWC. It's thought to be pretty simple: you input the long URL (http://myanimelist.net/anime/[ID]/[ALMOSTANIMENAME]) and your starting/completing dates in the first page, completing with text/image evidence as required and the second page gives you what you need to copy-paste on the forum. Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12pk_48vOEQLW6yFGrR-UIfy8-mF9viizB8t3tcxoZxQ/edit?usp=sharing /!\ Be aware that if you turn in your form using ALMOSTANIMENAMEs you won't be angelic at all and will be called a bad child who doesn't want to open 75 pages and check manually if each anime name hasn't changed by a single char. Admit it. It's only 75 manual checks. Easier than last year. It's based on last year's spreadsheet from i_yuuko-chan with happy little accidents improvements - Name parsing from URL fetching from MAL (can be rolled back with the sheet's history if it breaks) - Unfulfilled items are stroke if section is completed - Page 2 is a single cell ready to copy in the sign-in post Besides, some things could still be done but I'm too busy atm so I'll just list those here just in case somebody has time to spare on this. - MRC counterpart (I won't do it because I'm not doing the MRC) - Highlighting duplicate anime entries as errors - Add an option to erase lines instead of striking (tbh I thought striking would look great but I fucked up my browser and any style on MAL is overridden to plain white-text-on-black-background) - Giving an actual meaning to the header with stats, eg: Current level, # of missing entries for the next level... - Enhancing the second page to generate the entire forum post (Will probably be done soon) - Finding a way to load the user's list only once to automatically fill the started and finished figures The link won't change and I'll be able to add functionalities to the template so keep an eye on it if you want to be up-to-date Anyway, may everything work on the path of automation (I didn't test anything, PM me if it breaks) and may everyone be able to spend more time watching anime than editing bbcode. Dysp @Riqueplast, @LordessMeep as only you two mentionned me I can tag back, you may be interested in the new name automation. |

Hello. Could anyone give me suggestions for these:
Also, this article is fine for "(N.25) Watch an anime Featured in an article from 2018 onward", right? Thanks! |
 |
| Hi! I am a newbie at the anime challenge. After reading through the posts, I am not entirely sure about the treatment and inspection of the start dates. 1. The rules state that the start dates of the next level items (on the form) should be later than the date when the previous level was finished. What does the "on the form" term means? Can the start date on my MAL profile be different from the start date on the form? 2. How is this criteria inspected? I update an anime only when starting and finishing it. An "episode list" was mentioned in one of the posts. What is this exactly? E.g. I watched Aggresive retsuko in 3 evenings; updating it only after completion -Could this item be found inadequate? Thanks. |

| I'm not sure what happened, but my anime recommendations from MAL is now very far down the page, and I can't take a screenshot of it with my username. I am pretty sure it used to be farther up, or at least there's another page where it is, but I can't find it. Can anyone help? Thanks! |

OxideIon said: Hello. Could anyone give me suggestions for these:

N.30: Kiznaiver by Trigger. Yoshiharu Hisomu with purple, Tsuguhito Yuta with teal (according to the wikia), and Noriko Sonozaki with blue.

| Hello :D I want to make sure if : 16.Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child. - Recorder to Randoseru Re? would be valid? And also 19.Watch a listed Mythology or Time Travel themed anime. - Can I use Kakurenbo as a Japanese mythology? Or should I use only anime from Mythology in the link? Lol this is complicated xDD Thanks xD |

As for Recorder to Randoseru Re, I would consider children to be 12 and under, and I would assume that it works. |
|
| @MarissaRob I'm pretty sure Recorder to Randseru isn't valid. It dosn't matter that they're elementary schooler, unless you see clearly sated the exact age of a character and it is less than 12, it won't count. If you can find that information somewhere it's fine though |

OxideIon said: Also, this article is fine for "(N.25) Watch an anime Featured in an article from 2018 onward", right? Thanks! Yes, it's fine. starfishalliance said: Will Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection count for (N.26) Watch an anime with a full English title? The rules for that one seem to be way more specific than last year so I'd like to double check. Unfortunately, it will not be applicable for this item, as 'fullmetal' is not a valid English word. More detailed answer on this matter: SheyCroix said: yungbumeater-kun said: 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 :) That would be invalid. Just because of how Zombieland is written. 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. |

Jaikeis said: Does Love Live! Sunshine count for the full English title item? I’m unsure if Love Live qualifies as a name or not. Yes, it should be fine as both ‘love’ and ‘live’ are legit English words. |

| i love this new system! so much easier than last year. only let down is that this makes it so much harder to watch airing anime. i feel like as @pluvia33 pointed out, there should be an exception for airing series since now i'm gonna either have to stop watching boogiepop, dororo, promised neverland, and mob psycho completely or wait until they're both done and then rewatch them, which really sucks. either way, i'm excited! |
