Monthly Quest

This month, your quest is to complete the following:

1. Write at least 2 posts related to anime with any topic

This can include any reviews, cosplay events, collectibles, anime pilgrimage, fan arts, manga or manhwa you're reading, and many more.

The gap of all posts should be at least 3 days apart. Please check the Rules for more details.

2. Write at least 2 posts of an anime that's older than 15 years

Let's celebrate the Respect of the Aged Day by watching an anime that's old.. 15 years is old enough I guess. 😅
It can be any anime that has aired before 2010. It can also be an ongoing anime but the first airing date should be before 2010.

This should be separate from #1.

3. Write a post of an anime of this year that you're excited about

This anime should be something that you are really looking forward to - aired already, ongoing, or coming soon. As long as it's released on 2024. Tell us what makes it special, why you are looking forward to it and anything that would encourage us to also look this forward watching with you.

This should be separate from #1.

4. Participate in at least 6 small events

You can choose from a bunch of small events that we have:

• Ask Anime
• Manga Mondays
• Wild Plot Wednesdays
• Anime Tracks Thursdays

5. Engage with other authors

Leave meaningful comments to other authors' post and not just yours. This is always a given but for those who don't know, engagement is greatly encourage in the community. We will review the comments you made and evaluate it if it's really not just a "thank you" or a "good anime".

Invite other people to join the quests too!
The more, the merrier!

Rules

The rules are pretty simple.
Make sure to check #6 and #7 as they are new additional rules!

1. Posts should be written in The Anime Realm Community.
2. Your post should have a minimum of 300 words, not including the translation.
3. English content. If you're content has other language, please have a section for English translation first.
4. No plagiarism, content and photos. Properly cite the sources.
5. Important! The gap for all posts should be at least 3 days apart. This means to fulfill item #1, #2 and #3, you need at least 3 weeks to complete it. While we encourage you to write daily in the community, it looks like spam posting so please avoid writing posts daily just to complete the quest items.
6. NEW!! If you want to join, express your commitment of joining in the comments.
7. NEW!! Invite at least 1 person to join this contest. (Optional)
8. Once you complete the quest, leave a comment in this post and we will verify. The comment should contain the links to the posts you made as proof to make it easy for us to track per account.

If you want to join, don't forget to comment anytime this month.
