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.
Regardless, the item requires you to list her nationality. If her nationality isn't stated somewhere, she can't be used for this item.

Hello,

If you're looking for recs for a certain item, please state which one or it will not be valid to use.

If you are looking for anime rec in general, perhaps you could tell us a bit about what kinds of things you are looking for ^^.

Hello there.
I used Princess Principal for this challenge item:

(B.22) Watch an anime with no Japanese words or phrases in the title.

I was wondering if this is valid given the exclusion of titles that use a character's name. Since one of the main cast is nicknamed Princess, but her real name is Charlotte.

We go by MAL's official character name, which in this case is simply Charlotte, so that would be valid.

I recommend Non Non Biyori from your plan to watch list.

I recommend Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? that is not on your watch list.

These are both Iyashikei you can use for any other challenges as well.

Best of luck!

I have some questions for the Platinum Medalist difficulty :

(P.03) Watch a Spin-Off of something you've previously watched

Does 2nd seasons count ?

(P.11) Watch an anime with a score of 5.00 or below and an episode duration of 16 minutes or more

is it okay if it is 5.70 for example ? or MUST be 5.00 and below ?

Also, looking for animes for these two items:
(P.22) Watch an anime with 8 or more main characters listed
(P.23) Watch an anime with more main characters than supporting characters

thank you ~

It must be listed as Spin-Off in the related anime on the anime page for the anime you've seen previously. If second season is listed as Spin-Off it will count.

It must be 5.00 or lower. 5.70 does not work for this item.

You can use any anime you've watched in 2020 (both start and finish dates must be in 2020; you can't use an anime you've started in 2019 and finished in 2020).

I was wondering if, for the challenge, we can only watch a single anime at a time.

For example, if I start watching Dusk Maiden of Amnesia on July 11, then start watching Strange+ on July 13 without finishing the Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, will they still both count? Or do I have to finish the first anime before going on to another if I want to include them both?

Within the difficulty that you’re currently on, anime can cross watching dates just fine. The only thing to worry about is that you don’t start an anime in one difficulty before finishing the previous one (with the exception of 50+ episode anime and Diamond). For example, you need to finish the last anime needed for Bronze before starting your first anime for silver.

I just want to verify if the following anime will satify their challenges as I am not 100% sure if they will

Would Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru satisfy S.14?

Would Amagami SS+ Plus satisfy S.28?

Would Amagami SS still satisfy S.04 if I watch its subsequent seasons? (I'm pretty sure this is fine)

Hello,

(S.14) No, Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru is not valid - lifting dumb bells is not an Olympic sport (Weightlifting is, but the stuff shown in the anime doesn't resemble this at all.)

(S.28) Yes, Amagami SS+ Plus would be valid.

(S.04) As long as Amagami SS was the first anime you've watched from the studio and you completed it before starting any other anime from the same studio, you can watch the subsequent seasons no problem.

If you're not doing any restrictions, I recommend this movie:

Or this OVA:

Or these specials, you don't need to watch the main series beforehand.

No, that anime does not have the "More Info" section.

It would look like this:

I would love a recommendation from my PTW. I have no restrictions, nor are any of them reserved for anything.

Here's some stuff from your PTW that I'm confident in recommending:
Amagi Brilliant Park
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
Cells at Work
Strawberry Marshmallow
Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth
Maria†Holic
Spice and Wolf
Prison School
Kids on the Slope
Shirobako
Tamako Market

And just in case, here are some less popular shows that aren't on your PTW:
Saki
Chio's School Road
Hakumei and Mikochi
Bakuon!!
Isekai Izakaya

These have not already been recommended from your PTW, and I feel like you would like these:
Ore Monogatari!! (24 episodes and lovable characters)
Hybrid Child (4 episodes and nice change up from the norm)
Gangsta. (12 episodes of hotties, guns, and drama)

This is not on your PTW, but I love this anime and it is only 12 episodes:
Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta...

If the item does not specify it otherwise, any entry in MAL database can be used.

It's listed on the anidb page so it's valid for this item.

Basically it's a common incentive to try out anime you wouldn't normally watch. Typically most people watch shounen series, so in the rule of the challenge they tell you "watch an old anime, watch a 6 minutes anime, watch an anime movie, watch an artsy anime, watch a shoujo anime" etc.

You only have to worry about the rules if you want the badge. There is also a casual difficulty for the challenge, with less rules since there is less anime to watch, that might interest you.

You watch up to 70 anime that fill the slots from 125 possible criteria options in their forms and you're done.

Use this link to get a list of the challenges and the code to copy and paste to start keeping track. You pick a difficulty and work from there using the "Show Items and Explanations" drop down button as a guide for shows.

You'll have to learn how MAL's BBCode works so you can edit your post and keep track of the anime you want to use which a general summary on how to do that is here.

They also have a step by step guide in the thread.
