There's an interesting idea for you. Have Connor, Joey, and Garnt be the Cameraperson and do a role swap in the Figure Challenge. Set the budget and have them do the general challenges. We can feature Meyline, Navi, and Ashley in this special. Another separate figure challenge idea: Regular figure challenge, but you can't get any Jojo figures. For each Jojo figure bought, you lose 1 point. Additional 2 points deducted for if any of them are duplicates (One time deduction). All of them are so into Jojo that this makes it a challenge. Change "Rem" into "any character from Jojo" for the squats challenge.

I think counting all Star Wars characters as characters from an anime, just because Visions came out is like counting Sonic or Kirby as anime characters, because they both had TV series. The characters didn't originate from anime, which I think is how it should be ruled. It's even harder to define what is considered an "anime character," because every cartoon is considered an anime in Japan. Despicable Me is an anime.

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

I think for their purposes they’re using “anime” to mean “Japanese animation”, despite the fact that this distinction doesn’t exist in Japan itself. But I agree-just because there is a Star Wars anime doesn’t mean every Star Wars product is now anime merchandise .
