2015 Anime Watching Challenge

So yeah, I wanted to copy my entry here just in case I delete everything by accident on the original post (editing a long post is scary!). Below is the draft of what I watched/plan to watch, and I'll put a link to the original post here. Sounds fun! ☆ Starting date: 04/04/2015 ☆ Completed anime: 1152 (at sign-up) ☆ Link to your list: Tempalca ☆ Personal Rule: Movies Only (if applicable) ☆ Difficulty: Harder ! ☆ Challenge list: Type 　[✔] Watch a movie - Shingeki no Kyojin Movie 1 : Guren no Yumiya RAW (8/10) 　[✔] Watch a short anime - Cross Road RAW (8/10) 　　i.e. 15 minutes per episode or less 　[✔] Watch an ONA - Rain Town (7/10) 　[✔] Watch an award-winning work - Kappa no Coo to Natsuyasumi (2007 Mainichi Film Award for Best Animation Film) (7/10) 　　tip: check Wikipedia or AniDB for ideas Creators 　[✔] Watch an anime with a character voiced by one of your favorite seiyuu - Rakuen Tsuihou : Expelled From Paradise (Kamiya Hiroshi) (7/10) [The movie was ok I guess, but Kamiya Hiroshi's voice really improved it. I mean, Kugimiya Rie is an amazing VA too, but I don't feel the role did her justice. Frontier Setter on the other hand just beat Wall-E as most huggable robot ever for me.] 　» Watch an anime by a director/composer/studio you like - PTW : Tenjou-jin to Akuto-jin Saigo no Tatakai (KyoAni - studio) 　　[✗] PTW : Aa! Megami-sama!

I really liked the mood, the theme is so outdated yet still valid... I know that doesn't make any sense but it was a weird slow movie I'd easily recommend.] 　　e.g. if you're 20 now: ½(20) + 7 = 17, so the anime must have finished in 1998 or earlier Tags 　» Watch an anime with a main cast (3+ characters) of only one gender - PTW : Sengoku Basara Movie : The Last Party (male) 　» Watch an anime that focuses on non-romantic relationships - PTW : Flanders no Inu (Movie) 　[✔] Watch an anime with children in it - Stand By Me Doraemon (8/10) 　» Watch an anime with a non-human main character - PTW : Heisei Tanuki Gassen Ponpoko (Tanukis) 　» Watch an anime about sports 　» Watch a mystery, dementia OR psychological anime - PTW : Kara no Kyoukai : Mirai Fukuin (mystery) 　　[✗] PTW : Shoujo Kakumei Utena : Adolescence Mokushiroku (dementia) 　　[✗] PTW : Darkside Blues (psychological) 　» Watch an adventure anime - PTW : Coo : Tooi Umi kara Kita Coo 　[✔] Watch an anime about food, music OR art - Nitaboh (music) (8/10) 　　[✗] PTW : Hana Yori Dango (Movie) (art : dance) 　　[✗] PTW : Oishinbo : Kyuukyoku Tai Shikou, Chouju Ryouri Taiketsu!!
