I know in my case it can't really be helped sometimes given the nature of my job.

The whole point of having a discussion on Thursday and Friday as to what time is best for everyone was SUPPOSED to be the solution to that.

You forget I'm in the military, having even 24hr notice that I'll be working during the weekend isn't always the case.


If it's comedy you want, I'm definitely gonna have to suggest Seto no Hanayome if you haven't seen it yet.

YOU are in the military.  The other five or six people who AREN'T in the military didn't even show up for that.

[Hoopa]

  Sorry! I went to finish a project for school, but it turned out taking the whole day... and next week I have to go outta state to visit relatives in Wisconsin, so I dunno if I can make it next time either.

[zman9000]

I will make it next week. "weither your happy about that or not role............."

So my question is: When I show up next week (and for some reason leaf isn't there) will i be let in?

[Rolina]

That depends, who will you contact, and do you understand why I'm upset at you yet?

[zman9000]

Umm I broke the rules for Jupiter and some other stuff that dosen't go in this topic???

And if it is something else... if i have to... I.. will...
*stands up*
*gets on knees*
*gets ready to lose respect with other guys* (Because i want this to end)

I am a guy, I need you to spell it out for me Role! Whatever I did that didn't say above I am sorry!
And I will try to stay out or your hair from now on.
so please can we let this go?

[Rolina]

No, that's not it.  You were in the wrong clan to begin with - you clearly belonged in Venus, not Jupiter.  It's what you did when we actually got off our butts enforced the rules that really set me off.

Sure, you're a guy.  But so are 90% of people online, and they don't act like that - go make the appropriate place and make a public apology for the incident to all who were involved - BY NAME - and I'll stop being ticked at you.  Then, you'll have to apologize to me again for making a snide comment about me being ticked at you in half your posts.

[zman9000]

uuuuuuuuu........... ok... just give me some time on that...

and so this is totally not off topic... I add in a vote for Dog Days.

And role if that is really what it takes then I'll do it... just don't expect me to find all the posts over night... ugg

We're actually thinking of swapping to doing one episode of several series, rather than several episodes of a single series.

So basically, we'd be able to watch the first episodes for several series, rather than the first five of one.  What do y'all think of that?

[leaf]

Basically, our options are:
- straight: What we were doing, watching 3-5 eps of a single series, preferably doing it by arc
- split: 2 eps of one anime, and 2 eps of another
- variety: 1 ep of four different series

Personally, I'm partial to split. We would finish madoka this week and start another series. Then instead of just watching 4-5 eps straight of the second series the week following, we'd watch 2 of it, and start another anime for the other 2.

Also...

@Role: Cut it out. If you want to @#$%& at zman, do it in PMs. I'm sick of reading this argument in this thread.

@Zman: Feel free to contact me on skype, and I'll add you to the chat. Just make sure I know it's you. My skype name is the same name as on the forum.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

So far we have 9 nominations, doing a variety for ~3 or so episodes into each series then cutting it down to what people consider the two best would probably work well.  It'd be a little awkward with finishing up Madoka in the process, but we should be able to work something out.

1 - Level E
1 - Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko
1 - Toaru Majutsu No Index
1 - I My Me Strawberry Eggs
1 - Seto no Hanayome

How long do we want to hold nominations?  Do we want to do an actual poll afterwards, or just let people second nominations and go with whatever gets the most?

[Kain]

Actually, Yumekui Merry has 3 nominations and I My Me Strawberry Eggs  along with Index also got 2 nominations.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

I don't see whose nominations I'm missing unless they did it somewhere else.  If that's the case it would be impossible for me to count them to begin with.

I My Me Strawberry Eggs - Role
Index - zman

[Kain]

Edit:  Nvm.  Saw the post, it was just a list.

[leaf]

Well, I can second index for being a good anime, but I'm not sure if we want to be using a 24 ep anime for this; it would take a long time to finish. Index is also divided into arcs that are for the most part very conveniently spaced (the longest arc is the first one, at 6 episodes), so it'd probably be a better candidate for an arc-based meeting schedule. (IIRC, the arcs are split up at 6-3-5-3-1-2-4. We'd probably combine the 1 and 2 into one meeting, which would mean it'd take 6-7 meetings to finish the whole thing, depending on if we split up the first arc.)

I'll have to look up the others on that list to see which I favor.

In the mean time, I'd like to add yet another suggestion: Angel Beats. I haven't seen it myself (and apparently, neither have role or kain), but it's supposed to be good.

[zman9000]

wow... I completely for got about angel beats.

I just finished it last week.

I didn't want to watch it at first because it sounded like it was girls with guns vs girls with powers. well its not.

Its very good and if you are some one who will get caught up in a movie or anime you will cry. lol

So I also vote for Angel beats.

(Is it ok that i am voting for more then one... its just so hard to pick.)

[Kain]

You can vote for anything, however I'd like to ask you keep nominations to a minimal until we're done with a certain series/episode/however we're doing this from now on...that way we don't get overwhelmed with suggestions.

[zman9000]

Yeah i see what you mean.

but if its one thats already posted and you like it you can vote for it right.
I mean it IS a vote to see what we as a group want to see after Madoka Magika.

but again we do have a big list so far... And its not my call... I have the least say in this. . . .

[Kain]

Well Madoka was technically the starter.  At first it was going for a season, about five episodes per meeting but now we're changing it around to two episodes from two different shows.  The idea being 11 and 12 of Madoka will be out on the 21st and since it's the last we can expect for some time, we're changing it around a bit.

The reason for the different episodes however is lost on me.  I think it's to bring more variety in and to give a better chance for people to vote for what they like.  If people actually like the viewings I would suggest we vote on whether to keep watching it or if it's not liked, swap out to another series.

[leaf]

I fail for not thinking of this anime sooner. Darker Than Black. That anime is literally perfect for this format of 2 eps of 2 shows. Every scenario is split into two parts, essentially making it more like 12 episodes, 40 minutes a piece, instead of 24 episodes, 20 minutes a piece.
