Given the Mature content, shouldn't you make it clear that the contest only applies to people 18 and older?

So, is it June 30th, or September 30th? It says 6/30 in the article, but 9/30 by the submit button.

I'm guessing that's why you have to include your birthdate.

it had been so long since a contest i'd forgotten about them.

I'm happy to see a new one, on such a cool item too.

Not to mention the fine print: "Must be 18 years of age or older in order to participate.".

Maybe I have to change my settings? I swear I put my age in correctly in the settings.

That's good. I figured that they meant June, it's good that they changed it.

It will only say that you are ineligible if you entered the wrong birthdate. You need to enter it in the correct format, yyyy-mm-dd.

For security reasons, we don't allow people to re-submit their birthdate if they were found ineligible the first time.

This is the first ANN contest I've seen: I like how you got a bit creative with the fine print. Very Happy

How many entries are we allowed to submit? Is it one per day or is it just one per person?

I am going to give this one a shot because I remember seeing some episodes of the anime and thinking it was interesting. One thing that always confuses me is when ANN has a contest, I never see who the winners are.

It doesn't say how many times you can enter in the rules, but I'm guessing that you only need to enter once. It definitely says that you have to be at least 18, though.
