Please post any questions or concerns you have with the Anime Marathon Challenge in this thread.
You are also welcome to use this thread to find other buddies to watch anime with at the same time as you. ------ So this idea has been floating around in my head for the past week after the "Why is ANN so dead?" thread was posted, and I've finally decided to make a thread to gauge interest and feedback. How would people feel about having an Anime Watch Marathon Challenge? By this I mean that a list of chosen shows would be posted and then people who decide to partake in the challenge would attempt to watch as many episodes from those shows as they can within a certain time frame. The list will be determined by people on the forum and posted ahead of time, but only the episodes watched within the determined time frame would count. Why should you participate?
So, here's some criteria I put together. You're welcome to add more or suggest changes to what I've posted.
At this point, I just want to gauge the amount of interest. If there's enough interest for this, then next steps are to smooth out the details, determine the time frame, and start getting a list together. So, thoughts on this? Anyone interested in participating? Last edited by Crisha on Tue Nov 03, 2015 11:20 pm; edited 3 times in total |

I'd be game. Especially if we can throw some older titles in there, I need excuses to watch them.

I would be interested and I definitely do have the time, unfortunately I cannot watch streams so I would be limited to what I own on DVD and Blu-ray. Most of that is more than two years old, and even then it is just a small percentage of what is available.
In the unlikely event that a show that I could watch is chosen I would participate. It seems like it could be fun and, as you mentioned, it would motivate me to watch something in my backlog. In addition to my backlog, which is at 110 titles right now, I have a good-sized collection of shows that I have watched. I would not mind watching most of them again. I guess that it is not impossible that something that I could watch might come up if people want to try something older. You can count me as willing, but not necessarily able. |

I'd be game. Got quite a bit of free time at the moment.

I'd be game if I had more time on my hands and didn't also have a video game backlog to address.
If I change my mind, though, I'll get back to you. |

I'd be game too, but like Touma, I already have a giant pile of DVDs to watch, and many are of older series that I'm not sure are available streaming, so if I participated, it would be with the purpose of burning through that. But if shows I have on that giant pile of shame end up being chosen, I'd definitely be interested

Hmm...on second thought, I might be able to do this, albeit once we hit October, and if we're dealing with relatively short series. Can currently-airing shows be a part of this? I, for example, would like to give School-Live! a try, since it allegedly has some horrific twist or something, but haven't really been able to because I've been out in the middle of the goddamn Mojave on a military field exercise with internet that can't handle Crunchyroll reliably enough.
I guess I'll also throw Inari Kon Kon into the ring if that's how we're doing this. Hulu is even more problematic on this network than Crunchyroll, so I'd get around to it in when I get home. Last edited by Gatherum on Mon Sep 21, 2015 8:04 am; edited 1 time in total |

My backlog is still irritating me, and I'm a bit behind on many currently airing shows.
My goal is to watch one hundred episodes this week. I've got a day off work tomorrow (yay) so I'm gonna go for at least thirty episodes just on that day alone. You wanna race against me? *cracks neck* Good luck with that. |

I am not foolish enough to compete against dtm42 when it comes to hard-core marathoning.
Besides, I'm already in the middle of trying to re-marathon The Third: The Girl With The Blue Eye before my next review items come up. (Great series; I highly recommend it, especially if you're a fan of strong, well-developed heroines.) |

If yoose guys come up with an anime that sounds interesting to me I'll watch and post. Been having trouble getting motivated with anime lately, pretty much just watching Ace of Diamond as it comes out and GTO is getting a revisit.

I'd love to take a crack at this. It does depend a bit on what ends up in the pool, but given the crowd involved I assume there will be a diverse enough list to catch my interest. |

For those interested, could you guys post a list on here of the anime you'd like to see and/or have DVDs available of? I can remove the requirement about there being a legal stream available of each show (which would have been easier to do if this was a large group). Since it's not a super large group, we can vote on shows that most everyone here would have access to in one form or another.

I can watch anything in My Anime Collection or My Anime Backlog.
That is a total of 645 entries right now, so I will try to compose a list of 10 to 20 that I can post here. Am I correct in thinking that there will be a list of shows to be watched sequentially? So it is not a problem if a show has only a few episodes? I am wondering because I have been planning to watch I's and I's Pure, which have a total of 8 episodes. Would something short like that be acceptable? |

If a moderator says its okay to make a list in this particular instance then I don't mind making one. But it's going to be a very, very long list though. This is a sizeable chunk - but not all - of my current backlog:
Aishiteruze Baby Aquarian Age Blassreiter Bokura ga Ita Daily Lives of High School Boys Destiny of the Shrine Maiden Ghost Hunt Gilgamesh Hatsukoi Limited Hell Girl Hidamari Sketch Kare Kano Kemonozume Key the Metal Idol Kurokami Living for the Day After Tomorrow Lovely Complex Mnemosyne Moonlight Mile Noir Now and Then, Here and There Paradise Kiss Read Or Die TV Revolutionary Girl Utena School Days Shigofumi Shigurui: Death Frenzy Shounen Onmyouji Sola Solty Rei Someday's Dreamers Tears to Tiara The Third The Wallflower Twin Spica Wagaya no Oinari-sama Welcome to the NHK Apologies for them not being in alphabetical order. Surely there's something in there that people could watch. Last edited by dtm42 on Tue Sep 22, 2015 12:38 am; edited 2 times in total |
