Ok, so what other items that must have a direct link?

I'm pretty sure i already used Japanse title for both of my favorite anime? Do you mean favorite characters perhaps (since i used both the western order and japan order along the way and forgot to to edit them all into one order format) ?

Also i'm wondering what will happen when you're already at higher difficulty but then one of the lower difficulty item suddenly changed from 'completed' to 'airing' since it's an OVA/specials and the MAL team decided to merge the 2 or more different titled specials/OVAs under one name. Does this invalidate all the higher difficulty items that you've watched since technically you're not done yet with lower difficulty(ies)? (This is the case for Persona 5 The Animation: Dark Sun...)

Thanks for the repliy ~


None other, at least for Novice.

N.06 and N.29 both use the English title for Boku dake ga Inai Machi. We don't tend to look at which order it's in. As long as the name is there, it's okay.

Technically yes, it would invalidate the items already watched, since you didn't finish the lower tier. It rarely happens though, so I hope it doesn't happen to you (again).


Erased? Ah sorry, i mean this link, looks like someone withdrawn from this and make my post number lower again.

Okay, seems i should stay away from unfinished OVAs/ONAs/specials. Luckily it doesn't happen to me (yet), i don't even finished novice difficulty yet, only that i need to switch my entry for N.07 because i don't intend to finish novice difficulty that long.

Hi! I did try to read through a bunch of the comments but couldn't find anything.

I've planned out my 2019 Anime Challenge (and I assume this will be the same for manga). I've tried to understand the sign up post a few times but I'm still really new to MAL.

Do I just post the novice sign up? And then edit info as I go along, or am I able to just post everything I'm planning to read for the novice section of the challenge and then edit in watch and read dates as I go along?

Edit: also are we allowed to use a series for the challenge in the aspect of for an anime aired in 2018 I've used Attack on Titan series 3 because I've seen the first two but hadn't caught up on the third yet?
I was also going to use Dir en Gray's Agigtated Screams of Maggots as it's in the music type and I'm a new DeG fan and hadn't come across it yet, but I wanted to check. Although nearly everything on the list is a music video, are we allowed to use these for it or does it have to be one of the series / movies on the type list?

For the sign up post , just post the novice code. Once you've completed novice, then you can post the next tier and start on that, but only after you've completed the 20 anime needed for novice.

question lets say for example this requirement belows requires a screenshot. does it need the ss of the popularity after you've completed the series or does it need the ss of the series rating before you complete the series(and then you state the rating once you've completed the series)

Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes per episode and a score of or below 6.00 — state the score it had when you finished

But it doesn't make sense. If the item requires to state the score after you've finished the anime, why make the ss before completing it?

Yes, hentai are included. If you do not want to watch any, change the item for another one from the same section.

Ah, I'm sorry as well. I should've verified it was your post. But yes, your list looks good to me so far.

As for the edit part, if you started the anime in 2018 or earlier you cannot use it. It needs to be watched entirely in 2019.
If the entry has music as type you can use it for the music type entry (N.02). Hope that answers your questions.

As it says in the explanation, score it had when you finished it, so yeah the screenshot needs to be at that time as well.

well I was thinking they wanted proof it was below 6.00 at the point of starting and then you would write the final score after watching for the spot they made in the form

Yes, hentai are included. If you do not want to watch any, change the item for another one from the same section.
I do think this is rather disturbing, as there are people committed to this challenge who are either underage or simply revolted by something such as hentai. I have voted multiple times in the suggestion poll at the end of the years for said adult themes to be omitted from the challenge, but never has this been taken into serious consideration. I find it somewhat alarming that you must either watch sexually themed series or change categories, and that you cannot choose the next best genre. I reckon hentai is going to be on the majority of people's lists for least watched genres.

Even if they are underage or revolted by it, they did add the hentai to their lists themselves, so it's not like they didn't have a choice whether to add it or not. If they did add it, they consciously did so. I'm not saying I agree that you don't have a choice whether to watch hentai or not though.

My list ended up having hentai as my least watched genre, so I am also not thrilled about that.

However, Yuki-Chan has a very good point. I chose to watch several anime that are tagged as hentai, which is why it shows up on my MAL graph list. If a person does not watch any hentai/sexually-themed anime, that genre will not show up on their MAL graph and they can still do that item just fine.

I have a question about providing screenshots. For some items you obviously need them (e.g. Watch an anime recommended to you by MAL), but for others, like "Watch an anime with a score of 8.00 or higher", is it absolutely necessary to provide a screenshot or can I just "hope" for it to still be valid when I turn in? I used Hinamatsuri for that challenge (haven't gotten around to updating my list yet though) and I didn't make a screenshot since there's no way I see the score dropping below 8.00

I think you have to provide the screenshot only if explicitly asked (for example Novice #24).

If the item specifically asks for a screenshot then of course, provide one. For items such as watch anime with a score of 8.00 or higher, it is recommended you provide a screenshot, because if the show is no longer valid when we inspect it, you will have to redo the item, a simple screenshot will bypass that all.

As long as you aren't doing a TV only challenge, using a movie is fine!

You make a post in this thread: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1759336&show=0

The sign up codes are here:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1759336&show=0#msg56620376

Start with copying and pasting the code for NOVICE into a new post. Then fill it out as you go along.

A lot of the frequently asked questions can be found in this post:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1760533&show=0#msg56671329

As for the banners, when you've chosen one that you like, you need to host it on imgur or some other such site. Then you go under your profile and paste the [img] code in your signature.

Hope that helps!

For editing your signature, you can go here https://myanimelist.net/editprofile.php?go=forumoptions
All banners have a code, which you can just paste there. Alternatively you can re-host the image (re-upload in a service of preference) and use that link.
To go to that area for editing your signature, it's easier when you browse the forums. If you go to the top of the page, below the search bar, there's a link called "Forum Settings".

It takes place in England, New York City, Mexico and Italy (with barely two minutes in Japan in the last episode), so yeah it's good.

(Ap.20) Watch an anime with at least 3 human children as main characters


Which definition of children is used here? If using age, most would say that anything above 12 (or anything above elementary schooler) isn't child anymore but teen. But biologically speaking, it's something between infant and puberty, so anything with secondary sexual characteristic shown (easily breast in anime) isn't a child. This make confusion in Pokemon series since most female MC were stated to be 10 years old but some of them already have 2nd sexual characteristic..

I was planning to use Kiniro Mosaic S2 for this since i've watched a clip showing them seemed like pre-school/elementary schooler only to found out in wiki recently that they're high schoolers which are obviously teen. So this raise questions such as does time skip characters counts such as they were shown as a child in 1-2 episodes but after that they become teens/adults or vice-versa? Or what about shows when about half of series they were a child but on later half they're teens/adults (such as Captain Tsubasa)?

What about human characters that can shapeshift between child form and adult/teen form? What about human characters that have body of a child but are actually hundreds years old or vice-versa?

Erased? Ah sorry, i mean this link, looks like someone withdrawn from this and make my post number lower again.

Okay, seems i should stay away from unfinished OVAs/ONAs/specials. Luckily it doesn't happen to me (yet), i don't even finished novice difficulty yet, only that i need to switch my entry for N.07 because i don't intend to finish novice difficulty that long.


Ah, I'm sorry as well. I should've verified it was your post. But yes, your list looks good to me so far.



Thank you.

We mainly use age as a definer. The characters need to be 12 or younger, so the ones in Pokemon would work, as they are stated to be 10 even if they have secondary sexual characteristics.

For Kiniro Mosaic, you most likely saw a clip of Alice, but yeah, none of the characters in that series are eligible since they're all in high school. That is not to say that every childlike character should be treated with suspicion either, lots of them are eligible. Nor that every character in high school isn't eligible either. They just need to be 12 or younger, regardless of what education they're in.

It depends on when the time skip occurs. If they are children, aged 12 or younger for the majority of time in the anime they can be used. If it's half or less, they cannot. If they are adults in a prequel series (or the like) and they are stated, with proof, that they are 12 or younger in the series you're watching you can use them. Use the same principle as the reversed time skip ones.

Usually, human characters cannot shapeshift (that is to say, without another force behind it). If they do shapeshift, for example in Youjo Senki, and they retain their memories of their adult life they cannot be used either since they're technically not children.

Bottom line is, always find (and provide proof) that they are 12 or younger, by either linking a wiki or from AniDB, or another credible source.

Hello i have a few questions:

AWC_mod said:

[*]Watch an anime with a special character or symbol in the title — cannot use keyboard punctuation such as !@#$%^&*()-_=+[]{};:'".,/?<>|~. For example: Lovelyโ˜…Complex, Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan or Hime Gal♥Paradise


Yuru Campโ–ณ
This would be valide with the โ–ณ Symbol right?

AWC_mod said:

[*]Watch an anime that has a one-word title — just one word; can't be a symbol, number or anything else; if the number is written in a word, it can be used

ReLIFE
Is this valid? its one word but if you want to be really picky you could say it might be 2 words.

Also i saw that one of the posts on the first page has been deleted. Do we have to update our initial Post Number accordingly?

Hi there, I have a question regarding (N.16) Watch an anime with 2 or more main characters where one is as a human child:

I used Bakemono no Ko, but realized during watching that the child, Ren, grows up and therefore only is a child for about half the movie. Is it still a valid entry? I thought it might be, since the movie is literally titled 'The Boy and the Beast', but now I'm not completely sure anymore.

Also, if anybody feels up to it and would want to check my AWC Novice list before I move on to Apprentice, it would be highly appreciated! An extra pair of eyes is extremely helpful in catching some mistakes. I of course would gladly return the favor :)

When it says `an anime that began airing ...` are movies applicable? Because basically they began and finished airing at the same time :D ?
It is a stupid question but I would like to ask just to be sure...
Thank you
If the item does not require specific type of anime (TV, OVA, ONA), movies are also valid.
So in your case movies are valid for those items.

It's only about half of the movie and therefore it's not valid for this item. Sorry.

Thank you so much for your quick answer! Good thing you caught it now or else I would have been in trouble later on, oof. I ended up replacing N.16 entirely and am now using Kyoukai no Kanata for (N.10) Watch an anime adapted from a Visual Novel or Light Novel c:

Yes, please state your original post number. The point of it is so that 1. we have a better understanding of how many participants there are, 2. more importantly, it's used to reference other participants.

Hey, can I use Bakemonogatari for AP.12: Watch an anime that began airing between 2000 and 2009?

It began airing on 2009 but finished airing on 2010. Since the condition says it has to have begun airing on 2009, I think I can use it, but I just want to be sure.

I think it's ok ๐Ÿค”
See ๐Ÿ‘‰ Watch an anime with 3 or more main characters in which more than half are adults — state the adults; they should be 18 years old or older (you should be able to find a source for this; doesn't need to be stated on MAL); excludes half-humans and characters that goes back to being younger while retaining their adult memories

Hi there, someone might have already asked it but I can't really scroll through the whole discussion :/

I was wondering if for the expert challenge of watching an anime of 75+ episodes, can that span over different season? I didn't know if had to be something that had 75 episodes under one entry in MAL or not. For example, I was hoping to watch Bakuman but the seasons are listed separately, total it's 75 but each season is only 25.

Unfortunately, that won't work. It has to be an anime that has 75+ episodes in a single entry - Bakuman has three entries.

Something like this:
