Hi, I have two questions:

First, can someone give me a recommendation or two for (Ap.29) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread?

And would Non Non Biyori Movie: Vacation count for (Ap.20) Watch an anime with at least 3 human children as main characters? I know that Renge and Hotaru count as children, but I'm not sure about Natsumi since she doesn't have an age listed.

Again I ask whether the following shows are valid for the entires:

(Ap.19) Watch an anime with 3 or more main characters in which more than half are adults

Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor has 6 Main characters, to me they seem all adults. They are out of school and have a real work, yet there is no clear information about the age of the characters ANYWHERE.

(Ap.21) Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese

Quanzhi Fashi 2nd Season

This is even more vague. the Main character has a chinese name, yet you know there is no information about the reality there.

Thank you for the help in advance!!

According to this article Natsumi is 13, so I don't believe that qualifies as a child.

I couldn't find much information about either of those shows. I think your best bet would be to get the opinion of @SheyCroix

Question regarding (Ap.09) Watch an anime in which your favorite voice actor was part of the main cast:

Does main cast refer to the voice actors that voiced the listed main characters, or to the main characters that show up on the MAL page i.e. the 8 characters that show up when you click on any anime page. Or, does it refer to something else entirely?

The anime which I am considering using for this entry is Sakamoto Desu ga?

Originally I was going to use this for (Ap.36) Watch an anime with a special character or symbol in the title, until I saw that you are not allowed to use any keyboard characters as "special characters", so I am attempting to somehow still make use of the anime as an entry. If this doesn't work for this entry, that's fine too - it was mb for not reading the rules properly in the first place :p.

I found these va challenges confusing too, but in this case it means one of the people you've listed as a favorite were VA's of a character listed as "main" in any anime. So you could for example use Bokurano because one of your listed favorite people, Tomokazu Sugita, voiced the main character Daiichi Yamura, ( but you can use any series that any of your favorite people voiced a main character]. Or you could use Sakamoto desu ga,as long as you add Hikaru Midorikawa as a favorite.

They're listed as "adults" here: https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/patlabor-the-mobile-police/characters , I'm not 100% about this year because they changed the rules, but in the least year's challenge A-P tags were enough to validate an item.

The easiest "fix" is to remove spoiler and quote blocks inside the list. (As I've done on mine.)


Ah thank you for that!
But, is that "allowed" or would I have to change it back before I turn it in?

I'm still not sure whether I'll actually use that item, but I'm asking anyway, just in case :

My requirements :
- TV-type only.
- No more than 26 episodes, please.
- It's safer to avoid suggesting anything that aired post-2010 : there's a big chance I've already watched it, or at least sampled enough to disqualify it for the challenge.
- You can totally pick something outside my PTW (I barely put anything in there).
- The more suggestions, the better.

Welp friend, you were to picky and no one said anything xDD (jk jk)
Let's see if one of these suits your preferences ;D

Can confirm that this link is valid proof for (Ap.19). @XAnima13X

As for Quanzhi Fashi I know that when it comes to Chinese animations, we typically look for some sort of proof that it does actually take place in China and not some sort of nameless setting. The character names being Chinese wouldn't be enough. Unless someone else can find something, I'd suggest erring on the side of caution and using something else.

The staff has a diploma in advanced mind reading and hypnosis, so obviously they can and will punish any inaccuracies. But if you come up with an approximate date and believe in it very hard, you still might fool them.

Just state the most accurate date. It doesn't need to be completely accurate but you should give a day and a month (even if approximate).

Editing my challenge page on A. 19, watch a mythology or time travel anime and I used the Magic tree house movie. When I submitted the post, the entire URL shows up in the entry rather than just the link. I've confirmed the ID number, 10690, and even copied the that and another entry's url to see if I added or deleted a character but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong and I can't figure out what's different about this one.

No, that would be invalid. Kokoa is listed as having blonde hair, only Rieze and Chino are valid.

Since as far as I'm aware he's not in an occupation for monetary purposes at any point in the series thus far, I'd say it's invalid. He also isn't shown to be paid for being a swordsman, so there's that.

Hm, okay. What about Naofumi from Tate no Yuusha? He's a hero, what could count as a field in this anime I think. He is also being paid for his help and works.

For Novice Challenge of watching Recommended Animes from MAL or your Graph A+ profile, is it solely the animes on Graph+ under "Recommendations" or does the "Missing Titles" section also count even if a bit of a cop out?
