| (70) Watch an anime that has a total duration of 16 minutes or more and is tagged with Harem or Reverse Harem I've avoided this question for a lomg time by picking anime with an episode length > 16m. But this year I contemplate to watch Diabolik Lovers More,Blood (2015) in that slot, a show of 12 x 12m episodes. It's total runtime thus is 144 minutes, so I guess this is the same as "total duration" and qualifies the show for item (70). Right? |
 |
| In the Spreadsheet Route 9 has item (27) Watch an afternoon/evening anime (broadcast between 17:00 and 22:59 JST), but in the actual Post it does not have, can I use this item at all or no? Also this route has two duplicated items in sequence, I don't know if this is a error or not. |
 |
| @Victor_Rupt Post is the official source. If it's not there, you can't use it. Item #56 appearing twice is intended. |

GakutoDeathGlare said: The BBCode for Route 6.3 is completely different from the previous routes, that when I copy/paste it to my challenge, it looks like this. How do I fix this? I'm not the greatest with this sort of stuff. First Pic Second Pic (when I open the list) You're using MAL's new Visual editor. Switch back to Source mode and then try it again:  I just tested this myself by switching to Visual mode and pasting the code for 6.3 into a blank post. It looked identical to your screenshots, so that's what's causing it. Don't ever use the new Visual mode while working on your AWC post. It'll screw everything up. It looks like this, even if I switch the mode. Screenshot The first challenge looks good and I didn't had problems. :( |

It's important that you don't change it back to Visual mode, because simply changing it back will mess it up again. You may need to go back and re-copy the code for Route 4, since your existing Route 4 code is pretty messed up with all those [pre][/pre] tags. If you're still having trouble (and don't worry, a lot of people have had this problem since MAL released this new editor), I would recommend joining the official AWC Discord server and going to the #awc-questions-support channel. There are almost always some folks there who can help you in real time. |
  "An earnest failure has meaning." "Nothing is definite in this world. But it's okay. Some things within me are definite." |
| At the beginning we have to mention route start date Route Start Date: MONTH DAY, YEAR (e.g. January 09, 2023 - the earliest date you started an anime for this route) And it says "the earliest date you started an anime for this route" but we can use any anime watched inbetween the given time. In that case if I use an anime watched before the current route or during the previous route but not used then what should I put on current route's start date? |

Chronon said: In that case if I use an anime watched before the current route or during the previous route but not used then what should I put on current route's start date? You should not use any anime that was started or watched during a previous route. (Unless it's one of the allowed exceptions, i.e. anime with at least 45 episodes of 20 minutes or more each. In that case, the current route's start date should be the start date of the earliest of those used exceptions.) |
lesans_muse said: You need to switch back to BBCode editor. Please refer to this post how to do it.This is going to be a potentially very silly question, but I copy-pasta'd the info for the sign up form and posted, but it is displaying with the code (i.e. it is showing with the [b] instead of bolding the text). Can someone help this old head? |

| @AWC_mod Ayo, there's one more.   https://i.imgur.com/EtLmUNh.png https://i.imgur.com/11eY55s.png |
    |
| A similar but different question about anime started before the challenge: For a specific example: when it came out I saw the first one or two episodes of Banana Fish. I remember practically nothing and if I were to "continue," I'd want to start from the top again. Is that allowed? Can we restart shows we've pretty much dropped years ago and forgot and have it count? |
 |
| (143) Watch an anime in which 2 or more of the Opening Theme (OP) and/or Ending Theme (ED) are performed by the same Artist/Group I' considering to use Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans (2016), but want to check the fine print. Thes show uses a song with the same title and artist as both OP and ED, but URL has two different IDs for these. I'm not subscribed to any of the linked streaming services and have no idea how to check song equality, so I'd like to get a clear statement on whether this entry fits (143). Thx. Song used as both OP and ED: "Raise your flag" by MAN WITH A MISSION |

mozgow said: And this means the entry qualifies for (143) or not?@inim We go by the title on MAL. If the title is the same, we consider it to be the same song. |

| I have a few questions: 1. Is there a separate thread for turning in the challenge form when completed, or would I post a new reply in the same thread where I signed up? 2. Is the turn-in form the same as the sign-up form, except with the To-Do List/Example Info removed? 3. I noticed my post number is no longer the same as my initial post number. Would I need to update this as well? |

There is no separate thread, you post a new reply in the same thread. 2. Is the turn-in form the same as the sign-up form, except with the To-Do List/Example Info removed? There is another form, you can find it here under Turning In & Tips. 3. I noticed my post number is no longer the same as my initial post number. Would I need to update this as well? Don't update it, that's the whole point of keeping the initial post number. :) |

| Excuse my ignorance here- I'm not ready to complete the challenge and turn in just yet, but I wanted clarity about something before I do! In the first post, it says: "Decide how we should treat your form: Inspection -> No invalids, all required information is there, dates are in order No inspection -> Challenge Start/Finish Date are in order". It seems to me that there is no reason not to request a turn-in inspection; even though I'm not planning on having any mistakes in my routes/turn-in form, I wouldn't want to be disqualified for an error that I missed and a second pair of eyes would prevent that from happening. Is there any benefit to selecting No Inspection for this challenge? Thanks! |

| (94) Watch an anime that has a higher score than a listed Adaptation (under Related Anime) I'm considering using K: Seven Stories Movie 3 - Side:Green - Uwagaki Sekai for this, but because listed adaptation has score N/A I'm not sure if it's eligible. Thanks in advance for the answer. |

furlenes said: Basically, Inspection=the team checks your items for validity and you have to fix any items that are invalid, then once everything is found valid you're added to the list of completed participants; No Inspection=the team doesn't check your items for validity, they just check dates and basic format, and you're added to the list of "participants who completed the challenge without inspection".Excuse my ignorance here- I'm not ready to complete the challenge and turn in just yet, but I wanted clarity about something before I do!

Is there any benefit to selecting No Inspection for this challenge? Thanks! There's no "benefit" to either choice. Getting your form inspected just gives you confirmation that you officially did all your chosen routes/items correctly. If you don't really need that official confirmation, then you don't need an inspection.

"An earnest failure has meaning." "Nothing is definite in this world. But it's okay. Some things within me are definite." |
| I've got another question. I want to use K: Seven Stories - The Idol K for (173) Watch an anime with a main title that has a word repeated at least twice. Would this be correct? |

| Ah, for challenge 114, it asks that I "watch an anime featured in an active 2023 AWC participant's forum avatar or signature". What exactly do you mean by 'active'? |

| I started a lot of animes but never finished them. I know I can't rewatch animes for the challenge but am I able to do so if I never completed it? For example, I watched 5 episodes of JoJo out of 26. Another example, I watched 14 out of 25 episodes of Attack on Titan. Many other animes I only watched 1-6 episodes. That's a little more than half so I don't know what would be allowed or if it's just not allowed. Personally, it's been a while so I would start them from the beginning again. |

ladyincadillac said: (96) Watch an anime tagged with your least watched genre by time according to Anime+ Because of A Kite, mine is hentai. Is hentai allowed in this challenge? Cause I don't want to watch hentai just for this. The detailed item descriptions for (96) explicitly label Hentai as a possible exception : (96) Watch an anime tagged with your least watched genre by time according to Anime+ — State the genre; on Anime+ under Anime Favorites, sort Favorite Genres by time watched (the "Time" column), from lowest to highest — Hentai and Erotica CAN be skipped, but make note of it Also there're two (54) Watch an anime that has a total duration of 16 minutes or more and is tagged with Avant Garde in the ROUTE 7.1.9: THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA. Is this on purpose, should I watch two of them? Yes, this is on purpose ; many routes have duplicate items (that you can thus watch as many anime as there are of them). |
