Completing Anime

Generally, if an anime is listed as Winter 2020 on AniList, you can watch it for this challenge. Some shows from previous seasons will be finishing this season, while others will be continuing into Spring 2020. We will continue to allow some Chinese shows, which can be found in the Special Cases list.

The individual rules only apply if you are watching each show, you do not need to watch any particular anime listed.

You must make a note if you are watching an ongoing dub, so that we can take this into account when reviewing your challenge.
