It is that time of the year again. Keeping with MDL tradition, we present to you the 2024 MDL Watch Challenge! Whether you want to challenge yourself, diversify your watchlist, or just join the fun, this challenge is open for all. 

To join in the fun, you must READ and FOLLOW these STEPS and instructions. They may sound tricky at first, but we are sure you will get the hang of it, and we are HERE to guide you!


This Challenge starts on January 1, 2024 and ends December 31, 2024! 


You may join the challenge any time during the year 2024—be it January, February, May or December. 


The last day for submissions is January 3, 2025, but no matter when you join the challenge, all titles must have been watched between January 1 and December 31, 2024.

We have divided the rules in to basic, more advanced, and even more advanced for those who want more. The two common rules for all of these are that all titles must be watched as a whole between January 1st and December 31st, 2024. And they must fit what the description of the prompt in front of them.

Note:  questions postein the FAQ forum will be answered by us and other experienced users. Questions posted or sent to our account will be answered by us but may take more time.  Please check the FAQ before sending us a question, as it may already have been answered there.

If your worksheet is completed successfully and your turn-in form is submitted by January 3, 2025, you will be included in the Hall of Fame.

1. Sign up! 


1. Go to the application form/sign up sheet  

2. Copy the application /Sign up sheet (this is also your worksheet) Note: It can be hard to get the formating to follow, for that we have developed this hack.



3. Answer this  this thread  by pressing Quick Reply 


 
 4. Paste  the application  and Save application by pressing Reply
5. Click on the arrow at the bottom of your application


6.  Choose Share to be able to save the link to your application  or Choose Edit  to edit as you go along


2. Watch titles (dramas, movies, specials, tv shows) that match the prompt of your choice from any of the blocks within the challenge. 


  • A title is anything you can watch that is in the MDL database.

  • Each title must be watched from start to finish between January 1 and December 31, 2024.
  • Each title can only be used  ONCE and only for one prompt in the challenge (tip: use a custom list to keep track).
  • It is okay to re-watch titles you saw in previous years as long as you watch the whole title during 2024. If you started a show in 2023, you can ONLY use that title if you RE-WATCH those episodes from 2023.


Scenario:  By December 31, 2024, you may have seen Imawa no Kuni no Alice in its entirety 10 times: 5 times in 2023 and 5 times in 2024. You may only use it once for any given year’s challenge (so if you used it in 2023, you can still use it in 2024, but only for one prompt).

There are 132 prompts in this challenge divided into 26 blocks - each containing 5 prompts/titles (with the exception of the Countries of MDL block, which contains 7 prompts/titles).  Either watch first and then find the prompt or find a prompt and then watch a title that fits that prompt. Just make sure you watch the whole title between January 1st 2024 and December 31st, 2024. 


3. Fill in Application: Complete Blocks


  • Blocks are groups of FIVE prompts (descriptions).
  • There is ONE exemption to the groups of FIVE prompts and that is block  #26, Countries of MDL. To complete this block, you still only need to complete 3 titles (3 countries). However, if you complete 6 titles (6 countries) it counts as 2 blocks. 
  • Watch MDL titles that answer 3 (out of 5) of the prompts in each block. You only need 1 MDL title per prompt. Repeat for each block.
  • You may choose to complete any number of blocks. And may finish the titles in any order you would like.
  • Once you complete your second block, if you don’t want to add any more titles or reach a higher level, you can turn in your challenge form HERE. Congratulations!
  • You can move titles around as much as you want on the worksheet while you are working on it.
  • The names of the blocks are just for fun.

Here is a block, the notes are optional unless stated otherwise,  but you must fill in titles in the space for titles for them to count. 


4. Turn In or Level Up!



Once you are COMPLETELY DONE and do not want to add anything more to your sign up sheet, you may turn in your application  here between January 1, 2024 and January 3, 2025. 

  •  If you do want to reach a higher level than Sampaguita, just keep completing as many blocks as you want/can until you reach your goal and/or the deadline of December 31, 2024.  
  • Nothing is set in stone! You can add titles to blocks in any order you want and move them around the challenge form until you turn it in.
  • Choose a level to aim for from the start, pick flowers as you go along or choose at the end of the year. The amount of blocks completed when you turn in your form is what counts. 
  • Seasonal blocks are groups of five blocks, the division is there to make it easier to navigate and is used for bonus features, you may ignore this if you want to keep to the basics.  
  • Leap flowers are bonus features such as short cuts, extra rounds and extra difficulties that can earn you extra badges and may give you butterflies. 

This challenge is a circuit and is never-ending (unless you watch every title ever added to the MDL website!). Once you have watched 3 titles for every block, you start over with a noter round, read more about that below. 


5. Feel free to choose a Banner or Badge to add to your profile or create your own!






Those who turn in their challenge here by January 3, 2025, will have their form added to the Hall of Fame

The hall of fame shows  Levels and Rounds - Flowers and Butterflies. 

We do not check all your challenge entries, but the community will and will let us know if your choices did not qualify.  We cannot watch every title everyone chooses.

Here is the 2023 Hall Of Fame.  We update the hall of fame as people turn in their forms, So DO NOT turn in until you are completely done with the challenge. We will try to have the Hall of Fame updated completely by the first week in February 2025, but we are human, and things happen in our lives, too.

Bonus features that make the challenge more interesting. These include extra rounds, shortcuts and a bunch of fun badges. These are all optional! 



Black Rose: If, for any reason, you can not complete a prompt, you may ask another participant in this challenge to complete one for you. That friend must be actively doing the challenge and may not use the title in their own form. This may be used multiple times with multiple participants. And has no limit. 

The person gifting you will earn this beautiful badge: 

Lawnmower: Complete a block by watching a single title that includes ALL the prompts of that block. This may be used 5 times per round.

 * This is an exception to the rule tat says: Watch 3/5 titles per block. 




Once you complete the Cherry Blossom level you may start over at Sampuagita and add a butterfly to the Level Badge you achieve. For each round you complete we add a difficulty and add  another butterfly to your badge… 


For Round 2: Complete  an additional 4 prompts out of 5 in each block, and 4 out of 7 prompts in the last block. Receive a butterfly on your badge.

For Round 3: Complete  an additional 5 prompts out of 5 in each block. and 5 out of 7 prompts in the last block. Receive 2 butterflies on your badge.

For Round 4: Complete an additional  5 prompts out of 5 in each block, and 7 out of 7 prompts in the last block. Receive 3 butterflies on your badge. 

For Round 5+: contact one of us we will add a difficulty, and yes more butterflies will be added... 


Each one of these earns you a badge, and may be used once in the challenge! 

All of these, except the Leap Year Badge, can be earned during the original challenge with titles watched during the challenge.
