SheyCroix said: Unless I'm reading something wrong there, I don't think Yuki was referring to the format when saying it would defeat the purpose of the challenge. It was meant to the use of such a short entry. Doesn't change much of what I'm saying. Unless format OR LENGTH(better?) is specified, there's nothing wrong with using shorter entries - tv shorts, specials - because it has always been said it's allowed. Sure, it makes the journey much easier for some than others, but doesn't break any rules and some people just wanna go through the challenge the easy way and that's alright. Challenges are often a personal journey anyway. I am only saying this because it's the 2nd time I saw Yuki saying such a thing to someone choosing a special or w/e and I've only ever seen that "observation" before when people asked if they could rewatch anime. |

Yes, use length better since format for us is something different. And yes, what you are saying it's true. You can keep pointing it out if you see anyone saying that. I mean, I have used entries just a few secs long in the past :shrugs: |

| Thanks for all the responses guys! The length discussion does make me wonder if there's enough such bonus/special material out there to cover a full challenge (probably an older variant before the length restrictions were added to a lot of the items, since most are really short). It could perhaps make for its own kind of challenge, what with the variety of bonus material out there :> Also I'm not final on the use of the special for the item, but I'd thought that my language reflected that already. No need to go on edge over it. Besides if my interest was picking stuff to pass on technicality alone and "be lazy", I'd ask something like if I could use the 2nd movie since it's got the guy who *later in life* becomes a detective (since "i'm watching the full series anyway"). If anything would fall under "missing the point of the challenge" I'd think that kind of question would be closer than the one I did pose. In the first place, my main question was on the validity of the characters. |

OK, this time i will try to make it through before end of year..    |
| Hi guys, Would you say Yakusoku no Neverland can be used for the challenge item Ap.20 (Watch an anime with at least 3 human children as main characters)? It says that a child has to be 12 or younger. However, Ray has three different ages listed: 11, 12 and 13. I didn't start the anime yet, so I don't know what's going on with his age in there. Soo, does someone know if it's still acceptable for this item? |

Soo, does someone know if it's still acceptable for this item? Ray (and the other two main characters) are explicitly stated as 11 (with the 12th birthday some months away) in the first episode. I'm not sure how long of a timeframe the show will cover in its 12 episodes, but I'd be very surprised if any of them turned 13 by the end of this season. |
| I'm sorry, I too have a question about N.16 (Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child) If the character is a child for the majority of the anime, are they valid? I was planning on using Hatchin from Michiko to Hatchin, who spends the show mostly age 9-10. However, for the series finale she is apparently 17; should I find a new challenge item for this, or is this okay? Thank you! I tried looking back through last year's discussion, but couldn't find if this was directly addressed. |

| I have a question regarding: - (Ap.22) Watch an anime that mainly takes place outside of Japan, but still on Earth I picked "Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito 3 - Kagayaku Mono Ten yori Otsu" for it, since it has the normal Earth-map and mainly plays in Warsaw.

The item states: (N.26) Watch an anime with a full English title — has to be on the main title used here on MAL; if part of the title has words in another language it won't count; alternative titles don't count; one letter and number only titles don't count; excludes titles that uses someone's name "Beck" is a valid English word, so that anime is valid. zeldaxx said: Guys, I'm quite new to this challenge and idk how to sign up properly, I've read the instructions but when it comes to the coding part and all I'm getting quite confused. For the same reason I didn't participate last year. So if anyone can help me out please contact me. Thank you. If you didn't get any help, send me a PM with what is giving you trouble. I can help. jonibla said: Can I just do the whole challenge and do the sign-up and turn-in forms at the end? You are free to do that, yes.

I think a few posts above you it was established that the title has to have more than one word, so this won't count. @Chiuu_Chiuu it won't since the word itself isn't really English. It would have been valid if it was Life, or RE: Life or something. So, invalid due to how it's written.

| For participants needing an anime for : (Ap.36) Watch an anime with a special character or symbol in the title TV Tropes has a listing :Lucky Charms Title It also includes some keyboard symbols that aren't allowed, so remember to adhere to that rule. But, at least it is a starting point. |

Soo, does someone know if it's still acceptable for this item? The anime has 10 more episodes to go which means 10 more weeks. As i understand it, you cant move to the next difficulty before you finish your 1st one. So if you complete everything else, you wont be able to continue to the next stage because you will have to wait until the anime finishes airing. Am i understanding this correct? I dont think using an airing anime is a good idea if you watch fast Can someone correct me if im wrong tho I want to use this anime for Apprentice level, and I’m only at 10/20 in the Novice at the moment, so I don’t think this is a problem for me personally. The problem is that I don’t know why one of the characters has 3 different ages listed (while other two have only 1) and I’m not sure if it’s valid in this case. |

| I'm going to be signing up for the Challenge shortly and I have a little question about setting Restrictions. If you choose a restriction is it for each difficulty or would it have to cover the entire difficulty list as in could I choose Winter Restriction for Novice then do Apprentice as normal then choose another different restriction for Intermediate if I want to down the line or would picking Winter restriction mean I have to do all 4 levels + Expert only using Winter anime? |
| Can someone recommend me a relatively short series (12ish episodes) for the Apprentice category?: "Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread." |

| For (N.17) on the novice challenge, with a main character that is a professional in their field, can I use Black Jack ? The MC is a great doctor and makes money saving people, but he doesn't have a license. He seems to fit the criteria, I just want to make sure the lack of a license doesn't make it invalid for the challenge somehow. |

| @SheyCroix Could you recommend me something for (I.21) Watch an anime with 4 episodes or more recommended to you by a challenge team member I'd prefer a 1 cour show and something that came out in the last few years. Thanks in advance! |
 |
| Just to alleviate some of my doubts, I have a couple questions about the 50 episode anime exception. First, can I use an anime that has 50 episodes, but with really short episodes? (e.g. Aggressive Retsuko) And second, am I allowed to utilize the exception more than one time? |
 |
| I have question regarding on-hold/dropped anime. Is the use of on-hold/dropped anime that were watched before 2019, is only for challenge item #29 (intermediate) ? Also regarding I.29, it is stated that "Use any that you previously started watching and left without finishing for the longest". Does this means if i have on-hold anime since february 2018 and january 2018, then i must use january one? Lastly regarding A.20, since my first 3 letters are 'I', 'D', and 'I', with 2 'I', does this mean i only need an anime that has 'I' and 'D' as part of its title or do i skip the second 'I' and goes for 'I', 'D', and 'Y' ? |

"Finish an anime you put on-hold or dropped on or before July, 2018 — state the original start date and how many episodes were previously watched; the anime should have more than one episode; the anime doesn't need to be on your on-hold/dropped list. Use any that you previously started watching and left without finishing for the longest. Note that you might be asked for your episode history as evidence." From the sign up thread. So you can use anything put on hold or dropped before that. |

| I know you can start anime from the expert tier and series that are 50+ episodes at any time in the year, but are you also allowed to finish them or do you need to wait until you actually reach the tier you want to use them for? For example, I've started Hunter x Hunter (2011) this week and I plan to use it for: (Ad.03) Watch an anime with 50 or more episodes that are each 16 minutes or more Am I allowed to finish it before reaching the Advanced tier or do I need to finish the Novice, Apprentice and Intermediate tier first? |

| I have already asked something similar to this, but I just need a little more clarification that way I can get the Master of... and angelic title. I am doing the genre restriction, and lets say I have picked the anime Jigoku Shoujo as an anime I want on my list. It is categorized as Mystery, Horror, Psychological, and Supernatural. The only genre that is on the restriction is Supernatural, so is it still valid for my list? Is there a minimum amount of genres I need to have that fits the anime and restriction? If I'm still confused after the answer I get, then I'll totally scrap the Master of... title and try again next year with the restrictions. |

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding you, but I think you might be under the wrong assumption? The genre restriction means that each anime you pick has to have one of those genre restrictions. And you can only choose one genre to use for the duration of the challenge. So for your example, if you choose Supernatural as your genre then Jigoku Shoujo would work, but then every other anime on your list has to have Supernatural listed as one of the genres to complete the "Master of..." title (the anime can have more than one genre listed, but Supernatural must be there). Hopefully that makes more sense. |
