I am taking a different approach this season in requesting recommendations.

First, I'm gonna give some:
Second, fellow players that recommend me something can get a virtual treat if they'd like:
  • Apple [Yes fruit counts as a treat -- just ask Ryuk
  • I'll pray for your good health -- Tenma would be proud of me
  • Pick something that suits your preference
Third, recommend me something I rate 3.5-5 and I'll be willing to use my points to:
  • Take control of MistLiigh’s or FriendlyDemon’s signature and have them put whatever you'd like [within reason/fits criteria in initial post]
  • Make Friendly Demon watch [not rewatch] a 13 ep anime or movie
  • If other people give ideas/volunteer a reward I may be willing to use my points for that as well - depends on what it is

Lucky Star is on my want to watch list, but not sure if Im up for another 20+ episode series since Im watching one right now.
Helsing is also on my want to watch list.
I will def look in to Summer Wars. Thanks for the suggestions!!! Ill let you know what I end up going with once I decide. :)
 
Wow, that actually wasn't as much as I thought it would be after two days... And that's not a complaint XD

Also don't forget: there's only a little over two days left to vote on the group watch poll! So if you haven't voted yet or want to change your vote for any reason, there's not much time left! Voting closes Monday at 5:46 PM ET (or 21:46 GMT for our European friends), so make sure you've had your say! As things stand right now, it looks like we'll be doing Paranoia Agent, Serial Experiments Lain, Keijo!!!!!!!!, Laid-Back Camp, Golden Kamuy, and a possible run-off vote between Land of the Lustrous and an accelerated Gankutsuo group! We shall see how much this changes in the last two days :) Remember there are also 10 movie group watches going on the list too, so plenty of opportunities!

Alright, on to claims!

Claiming N1 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/ultraman

Claiming E4 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/laytons-mystery-journey-katrielle-and-the-millionaires-conspiracy

Claiming N2 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/attack-on-titan-ilses-notebook
The 2nd ova was gold!
Claiming A2 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/tales-of-eternia
The first Tales anime and it sucks.
Claiming A3 with https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/attack-on-titan-lost-girls
Annie is one of my favorite characters of the series which is why the ova was a big deal to me.
So, A2 and A3 are newly APPROVED, bringing you to 4 points!

These exact claims were already in and approved for N1 and N2, so all good there.

E4 is a no-go though. Since this was not ongoing during the current season, it can't be claimed unless you watched it all during this season, which doesn't appear to be the case; it could have been claimed at the end of the Winter season if you'd watched the final episode on 3/31 when it aired (granted this is a moot point since you finished your card without it), since it was ongoing during that season. This is an interesting edge-case that shows what might be considered a small unfairness in the game's rules, with an ongoing series ending on the last day and thus leaving a very limited time to complete and claim it... I'm not sure if there's a good solution to this, but I'd be open to hearing what people think about it. As the rules stand at present though, I can't approve it.

Claiming E4 with Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail(Watch an anime with less than 10 episodes)
APPROVED! Congrats on your first point of the season!

My first claims!

E3 - watching an anime movie https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/the-royal-tutor-movie
A1 - watch an anime that aired last year, A4 - watch an anime based on a light novel or a novel and E1 - watch a 10+ episode anime https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/violet-evergarden
Opps sorry about that, can I use it for A4 then?
E3 and A4 are APPROVED! Congrats on your first 2 points! Sorry for the confusion :o

APPROVED! That gives you a total of 33 points and puts you right on @commonxreaction 's heels!

I4, please. I finished Hidamari Sketch.
APPROVED! You now have 3 points!

APPROVED! You're up to 29 points!

A4 - Megazone 23 Part III (80s anime)

Man, real life and Hollow Knight sure made me drop the ball a bit
APPROVED! That makes 15 points!
I can relate, I say as I catch up on 2 days of claims...

A3: https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/terror-in-resonance
please

Man, loved this series. Even has a great opening.
8/10 - totally adding the Blu to my permanent physical collection soon.
APPROVED! You have 10 points and the option to switch to a new card at any time you'd like now!
Good to hear another endorsement for this show that I've been considering XD
