Hello, I'm finally done with the Apprentice segment...
Can somebody check if everything is alright there and in the Novice? I'm kinda paranoid that I might have screwed something up...
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1759336&show=1900#msg57440649

Thank you in advance!..

You've got 21 items listed for Apprentice, but I'm assuming you know that and are just keeping the extra in there in case you need it. The to-do list needs to be removed before turn-in as well, but again you might be using it for the links or something. Neither of these are really issues at the moment; just don't forget to fix it before turn-in. Otherwise, everything looks fine so far :)

If you're not doing so already, I'd also recommend taking screenshots for some of those items that could be subject to change, like Ap.16, Ap.17, Ap.26, etc. Better safe now than sorry later.

Based on the shows you have watched, a new show I watched this year that you might like is Nanatsu no Taizai. And for last year's challenge I watched Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu. Enjoy the challenge!

13 [Started: DATE] [Finished: DATE] (N.13) Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes per episode and a score of or below 6.00

[Score when finished: ]

I've literally binged my way through a lot of great anime, so thought I'd do this one to let the others really sink in. Please recommend me something that would be funny to hate watch!

One that I’ve heard fits this bill perfectly is Garzey’s Wing. Watch the English dub, as that’s what people say is the funniest part of it.

When it talks about favorite anime, does that mean our number one favorite, or just one of the favorites on our list of favorites?

Done with Apprentice!
Was wondering if some people would be willing to check to see if I screwed up somewhere along the way with Novice or Apprentice.
I've been pretty thorough but you can never be too safe :D

Hiya, I have a question about (Ap.06) Watch an anime by a studio you haven't seen anything from.
Strawberry Panic is a work of two different studios. I saw other anime from one studio, but none from the second studio. Does that count?

Yep, that's acceptable. Just make sure you list the studio that you hadn't seen anything from in the brackets provided.

If it doesn't state a certain number of episodes required, you can use a single episode anime. So yes, it is valid.

Yes, that would be valid. It's still more than 16 minutes per episode even with only one.

Hi, I have a question about this item:
(Ap.19) Watch an anime with 3 or more main characters in which more than half are human adults

Is it possible to use Clannad: After Story for this one?
Nagisa is already 18 at the start, but for the first two months of the story (approximately), Tomoya isn't.

Edit: @BeanChagBear Nice, thought so. Thanks for the answer!

I would say yes. Tomoya is an adult for the majority of that season.

Almost finished with Apprentice and double checking all of my entries before I go for the next level. There are two items I'm not entirely sure about and was just hoping someone could give them a glance and make sure I've got them right.

Also, is the color I'm using okay? Personally it strains my eyes slightly but it's the official color from the challenge thread so I wanted to know if the AWC team approves or not.

Pretty sure the characters are considered "Professional Heroes" as long as they are part of the Hero Association. Both Saitama and Genos are part of the Hero Association, so you're good to go.

Okay, so I waited 3 weeks for my challenge to be inspected... And these were the only issues:

[05] [Started: January 07, 2019] [Finished: January 07, 2019] (N.05) Watch a listed noitaminA or YATP series: Ojiisan no Lamp
*** this is optional, but to keep consistency please remove the 0 from the dates (from January 07 to January 7)

[35] [Started: January 15, 2019] [Finished: January 15, 2019 (Ap.28) Watch an anime with more than 16 minutes in total and tagged as Martial Arts, Military, Police and/or Samurai: Ninkuu (Movie)
[56] [Started: June 20, 2019] [Finished: June 20, 2019 (Ad.01) Watch a Movie with a duration of 120 minutes or more: Kaze Tachinu
--- add a missing square bracket on the finished date " ] "

[47] (I.13) Watch a completed anime scored 4 or less from an anime challenge team member: Goblin Slayer: Bouken Kiroku Youshi
--- update title to match DB: Goblin Slayer: Bouken Kiroku Youshi - Adventure Sheet


This is even worse than last year... I understand you mods are doing a lot of work, but hey, maybe if you allowed for minor typos like a missing half bracket or an extra 0, it'd be a lot less work for you, and people would enjoy the challenge a lot more. Surely I'm not the only one getting fed up with ridiculous nitpicking on tiny typos that have no effect on the actual contents. Similarly, the title of the anime I watched was updated in the database after I had already completed the entry a half year ago. Are we really meant to go through every single entry and check whether their names have been altered in the database? I thought this challenge was meant to be for fun...

Sorry if it's not quite feedback time yet, I can repost this in December... Just wanted other participants to get a heads up on the ridiculous nitpicking they can expect. I would really have hoped the mods would have improved from last year where many of us pointed out how much the nitpicking ruined the enjoyment of the challenge...

Typos like missing brackets actually make it harder for us to check, as forms are now checked mostly automated. If there is a missing bracket it won't be checked automatically, of course it will he checked manually but point is that it is important for all brackets to be there. Therefore it also isn't a minor nitpick.
Same goes for missing 0's. It isn't automatically misread but we do prefer consistency.
Though, I thank you for your feedback as it is valuable to us.

Could I get a recommendation for I.21 (Watch an anime with 4 episodes or more recommended to you by a challenge team member)? I'm currently in a 90's groove, so something from that decade would be appreciated, but I'm happy to watch pretty much anything.
I have no taste.
