Hey, I'm wondering if "Free!: Dive to the Future Episode 0" is a viable choice for the "Watch an anime that's tagged as Sports and features an Olympic Sport" requirement
That would be valid 👍
I would also appreciate it if you could recommend me some anime for the following requirement: "(S.21) Watch an anime recommended to you in the challenge discussion thread'.
Nisemonogatari
Hakumei and Mikochi
Panty & Stocking
Tamako Market
Keijo!!!!!!!!
Bakuon!!
How heavy are the dumbbells you lift?
My Roommate is a Cat
Fruits Basket (or the reboot)
Hidamari Sketch
Rakugo Girls
Gourmet Girl Graffiti

Heyo,
looking for recommendations for S.21. Can be from my PTW or not, but please avoid anime already tagged as AWC20 as I'll be using them for other sections! :)
Saki
Carole & Tuesday
Chio's School Road
Nodame Cantabile: Paris-hen
Squid Girl
Tanya the Evil
Aria the Animation
As Miss Beelzebub Likes
Denki-gai
Girls & Panzer
Grand Blue
Cells at Work
Also, in regards to S.28 (non-alphabetic), all the example characters are special characters (like stars, hearts etc). Are the more common characters such as - ? _ . valid? Looking to see if "Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen" would be a valid entry.
That would be valid 👍

I was wondering, if you had put an anime as dropped/on-hold from last year, but restarted it again this year, would that still be valid?
If you use an anime in the challenge and you started watching it before 2020, then it won't be valid. (G.26 is an exception, obviously)

With that said, we can't tell if you delete an anime from your list and start fresh, but that goes against the spirit of the challenge; ideally, you would watch all-new stuff.

Seems like the game itself is quite minor, so I don't think it fits. It seems like a lie to even call sports anime.

Here some others:
Ginban Kaleidoscope (gymnastic)
Free (swimming)
Hajkyuu (Volleyball)
Kuroro no Basket\Slam Dunk
Prince of Tennis (Tennis)
Yuri on Ice (Ice skating)

I know, many of them aren't your classic shonen.

Iyashikei is basically comfy and relaxing. Violet Evergarden has a bit too much drama to be considered Iyashikei. Here's a list of stuff that would qualify.

Question regarding B.09 Watch an anime that began airing between 2016 and 2019.

Is it okay to watch Assasins Pride? It started airing Oct. 10th 2019 and finished Dec. 26th 2019.

Sorry if it's a stupid question but English isn't my first language.

Seems right. It just means it aired anywhere between 2016 and 2919. I doubt there are many animes that started in 2016 and ended in 2019.

Alright, so first of all, you've somehow deleted the final [/list] and [/spoiler] tags from your signup form, which is why your list numbers aren't working. Please copy the following and paste it at the very end of your entire post:
[/list][/spoiler]
That will fix your list numbering, and put everything into a nice big spoiler the way it's supposed to be.

I would also recommend you go through and delete all of the ✔'s from your form; you don't have to do this now, but definitely do it before you complete the whole challenge.

Finally, to address your actual question: in general, it's usually better if you don't use the full link to every anime. What I mean is, instead of using this as your anime link:
https://xss.now.cc/anime/7474/Onegai☆Teacher__Marie_Ai_no_Gekijou

cut off all that extra mess and just use the part that matters:
https://xss.now.cc/anime/7474
This will fix your G.09 problem.

Oh, and a side note, use this as your post link:

The challenge item list in the main thread gives explanations for most items:
Watch an anime with a popularity lower than #700 and a total duration of 16 minutes or more — state the popularity it had when you finished; placed in popularity as #701, #702, #703 and so on

For any of the challenges that use "Favorite Anime" - for example, B.26, S.05, or S.07, is it okay if we use different anime that are all on our Top 10 list? Or do we have to specifically choose recommendations/anime related to the anime we put at the top of the list? For example, I use one anime for B.26, then a different anime for S.05, a different anime for S.07, and they are all in my Top 10.

Any of them is fine, as long as it's listed under Favorites on your profile.

I deliberately deleted this -> ([[/ list] [/ spoiler]) because I feel more comfortable choosing the phone interface which unfortunately does not work when I add these tags 😅 I don't like using the computer interface I find it more complicated and uncomfortable to use
And I used this - >> ✔ because the color is more clear and I can easily find the anime that I finished

That’s fine for now, but please be sure to try to fix those by the time you turn in the challenge. Depending on what type of inspection you choose, you might get marked for it.

S.30 - Watch an anime with a human main character that is not Japanese — has to be a real nationality

I don't think Tower of God is set in a real-world place, so this would not be valid.

Yes that would work - you can use any anime that comes up when you search for Fall 2016 (when 3-gatsu aired) on the Seasonal Anime page.

She's been living in Japan for at least 7 years so she would be considered Japanese and therefore not valid for this item.

I dont get that logic you dont just become japanese because you live there.
