Im going to be away on new years so I'm making this thread early.

Same rules apply on the whole, a challenge here is an auto:toxx: if you don't want to toxx yourself you need to say so, you can change your challenge by posting an equivalent challenge.

Remember the consequences, its ban+30.

Good luck

E: Please post about your success or failure of last years challenge in the 2019 thread

I'll watch twelve animes this year, one for each month, suggested by people in this thread, that i've never seen before.
some basic ground rules: twelve different people, you're gonna have to also call which month to watch it in (and if the months taken it will be discarded). I have to have not watched it before (we can loosely say anything i've dropped before the midpoint counts as not seen), if you call something i've seen ill give you a second shot. No hard limit on episodes per series but I reserve the right to veto anything above 60 (you can get another shot if I veto it).

twelve isn't a ton but I like the idea of making a calendar around it

Given that the only thing I was able to achieve was the visual novel challenge my toxx is thus:

Finish, at minimum, two visual novels suggested by goons itt (i reserve the right to say no to anything distasteful)

The at minimum clause means that if i clear the two visual novels early i have to ask for another (although the challenge applies only to the first two)
I must also endeavour to evidence at least 10 hours playtime per month in some way (this is to prevent a lack of momentum).
I must start from the beginning
I must achieve, as far as is reasonably possible, all the endings

1. Umineko no naku koro ni (all of them)
2. The nonary games (one of which I admittedly read as an LP)

I Failed At Anime 2022
I'll watch 10 different anime from recommendation's I ask for and 1 at complete random from MAL.

i will also read all of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia and catch up to the Shadowbringers expansion from where I am in Heavensward in FFXIV. No idgaf that it's not anime, I need something to get me caught up in that game.

My only real condition is if it's above 50 episodes, I'm probably gonna veto it unless you give me something I can really get in with. Will cleanup my MAL and post it here after work tonight.

Second Edit: Alright, here it is

I don't want to go on living the boring life of a celestial forever.

I haven't done this before but I figured why not this year. e:actually i'll take it down a notch and include my original goal

Watch
1) Kaiji or Bungo Stray Dogs or Hyouge Mono
2) Garden of Sinners

Read
3) Muv-Luv. I'm probably going to be very busy later in the year so im downgrading again to just Extra and Unlimited for now

On reflection of last (this?) year's toxx I have come to the realization that I have projected a capitalist model onto watching anime. There is no great exchange of ideas anime and instead I will do whatever I want to do with my free time with no sense of obligation. The obligation that I put on myself almost caused a fatal amount of burnout to this hobby I so enjoy. However I wish you all luck with your toxxes and you all have my full support going into the new year. Both on your toxxes and a personal basis.

Cheers

This year I'm going with show recs from other people because when left to my own devices I pick 367 eps of anime to watch. The official Erg :toxx: list of anime to watch for 2020 is:

outer wilds (dryzen)
Azazel San (dav)
Ring Ni Kakero (gorf)
Kimagure Orange☆Road (para)
Scryed (Dub) (baal)
Cross Game (allarion)
Nisekoi (orv)
Dirty Pair (TV) (dog)
ACTORS -Songs Connection- (squark)
Citrus (rme)
Teekyu (kagaya)

I keep doing extracurricular toxxes and this year I feel like adding something that I keep making half hearted stabs at might help. I'm going to toxx on learning all 2200 kanji in Remember the Kanji 1 this year. I've got a head start of about 100 from my last attempt so fingers crossed I won't fizzle out again. For my own tracking sake I'll consider my goal hitting 90% of the kanji in the "learned" category of one of those flashcard systems or whatever other metric I might switch to

I would highly recommend NOT trying to learn all of these IN A SINGLE YEAR. But, good luck to you in that case.

I Failed At Anime 2022
Since I'm feeling all pumped up at completing my extremely minimal 2019 challenge at the very last minute let's do a for real :toxx: this time.

The Queue-Cleaning Toxx:

I pulled 6 shows out of my queue that I'm partway through that I commit to finishing in no particular order:

Bungo Stray Dogs S3 - 4/12 12/12 - completed 11/27/20
Run With The Wind - 16/23 23/23 - completed 12/31/20
Tsuritama - 4/12 Replacing with The Eccentric Family 3/13 13/13 - completed 12/29/20
BBB&B - 6/12 12/12 - completed 3/11/20
Golden Kamuy - 14/24 24/24 - completed 12/26/20
My Roommate is a Cat - 6/12 12/12 - completed 12/13/20

If I finish those before the end of the year, I'll work on this bonus list but if I don't finish these don't include them for toxx purposes:

Noragami Aragoto - 0/13 (I watched part of this but need to just start it over)
Sirius the Jaeger - 5/12
The Eccentric Family - 3/13 - moving to the main list
Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu - 6/13
Free! Eternal Summer - 6/13
Garo: Vanishing Line - 6/24 14/24
Tsuritama - 4/12 - moved from main list b/c it was removed from C/R

Also if I bail on finishing one of the 6 in the toxx list for some reason I'll replace it with one from the bonus list.

Sadly this doesn't come anywhere close to clearing out my backlog of half-watched poo poo but it'll take a chunk out of it at least.

From last year's toxx that having a job dashed any hopes of finishing that I'll try to get done this year:
March Comes In Like A Lion
NagiAsu


Edit: swapped these two out for the Gundam stuff in this post: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3908412&pagenumber=5&perpage=40#post508168144

Stuff that I never finished from last year that I'll work on now:
Dororo

Triple-H sports special, to be done by 2020's end:
Haikyuu (probably not including the new season, but I'll see my schedule)
Harukana Receive
Hanebado (rewatch)

How bad could this be :v:

For August you should watch BECK. If you can find a dual audio version I'd recommend that, I seem to recall the songs being much better in English. If you've seen it, then do Tsuritama instead.

I'll post my resolution when I get home and can read my list more easily.
