Lets begin this anime watch overview thing

I propose getting together for about an hour at around this time every week to discuss a predetermined episode from a series we pick. Some ppl suggested we start with a new series while others have interest in older series

iKlsR

New series sound fun, more speculation and ideas to bounce around etc.

@Krazer any in mind?

Logan M

We could probably do one of each if there's demand for both

Krazer

if all are in agreement, we can pick something from this past spring anichart.net/spring or summer season to watch anichart.net/summer

@LoganM lets start with one and see where we can take it

JNat

I think a new series may be better to start with

Krazer

do you see a series that interests you?

iKlsR

Ro-Kyu-Bu looks interesting. I recently finished season 1 but season 2 doesn't have enough eps yet.

Logan M

Here's my list from this season, sorted roughly by how good/interesting I think a series is. I'm not watching everything, but there are only a few that I'm not watching.

Top Priority:
- High School DxD New
- Tamayura: More Aggressive
- Kiniro Mosaic
- Love Lab
- Monogatari Series: Second Season
- Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C3-bu

High Priority:
- Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Megami-hen
- Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui!
- Rozen Maiden
- Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Ilya
- Ro-Kyu-Bu SS

JNat

Watamote, maybe

Logan M

Watamote is pretty good. I think most people would enjoy it.

Krazer

yes it's disturbingly moe

any objections?

JNat

is @Eric not here?

Krazer

Jul 13, 2013 17:11

nope hes has stuff he needs to do

JNat

ah, got it

Krazer

I'll be his proxy and propose Ro-kyu-buS

Logan M

Is Watamote viewable for free anywhere

nvm looks like it's on cruchy

Ro-Kyu-Bu looks interesting. I recently finished season 1 but season 2 doesn't have enough eps yet.

Logan M

I like Ro-Kyu-Bu, but we probably shouldn't choose that for this since it's a second season and also not exactly everyone's cup of tea

Krazer

Jul 13, 2013 17:16

Watamote it is then.

JNat

@Krazer yay

Krazer

How I think we should discuss the format of the discussion

we want to promote questions on the site with this

Is it something was can obtain easily?

Madara Uchiha

Did I miss anything?

JNat

@MadaraUchiha Just that we chose Watamote

Krazer

I just want to make sure we have enough to talk about

Madara Uchiha

Jul 13, 2013 17:19

What's Watamote about?

Logan M

Yeah it's not exactly clear to me what we're supposed to talk about after watching it.

Krazer

@MadaraUchiha crunchyroll.com/…

I'd like to discuss the plot what you though funny, sad, etc. but I don't want it to seem forced

Madara Uchiha

I usually don't like anime of this type

Anyone here already saw it?

JNat

@MadaraUchiha I saw the first episode

Madara Uchiha

@JNat Anything special about it?

JNat

Jul 13, 2013 17:23

@MadaraUchiha Nothing particularly special. It was funny in general, and I got a reference to Death Note which I found particularly funny too

Logan M

@JNat Do you mean this one?

JNat

yes, exactly

Logan M

I had to pause the video at that moment because I was laughing too hard to keep watching.

iKlsR

Any more suggestions.. comedy doesn't sit well with me often.

Krazer

what genres sit better with you who don't prefer comedy?

iKlsR

Jul 13, 2013 17:29

@Krazer something usually unique in a sense you know, like magic etc instead of the run of the mill talking talking..

Madara Uchiha

@Krazer I like fantasy/scifi, mostly with a clever side (Death Note, FMA, etc)

iKlsR

Logan M

If we want to avoid comedy entirely, the only series this season are Danganronpa, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi, and Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou. I can't recommend any of them, though Danganronpa might work.

JNat

@LoganM of those 3, I choose Danganronpa too

Madara Uchiha

ON that note:

Logan M

Jul 13, 2013 17:31

Gin no Saji might work also if you don't like normal comedies but don't have a vendetta against humor. It's by the same guy who did FMA. However, it doesn't fall into the fantasy/scifi genre at all.

Krazer

if we hit older series I have 3 suggestions: Time of Eve, Space Battleship Yamato 2199, and Gundam UC

JNat

@Krazer one of the first two of those for me

What about Paranoia Agent?

maybe that could work for Madara and iKlsR too

Krazer

we can consider that, but I was aiming at something with relatively few epis

so you can watch it in a few sittings

JNat

Paranoia Agent has 13

is that too much?

Yamato has 26, I think

Krazer

or 7 50m movies

JNat

Jul 13, 2013 17:37

@Krazer ah, I see

iKlsR

hmm.. I was thinking something like Ao no Exorcist.. but thats 25 eps..

@JNat PA looks a bit tame..

Krazer

How about the new Ghost in the Shell: ARISE?

Madara Uchiha

@iKlsR I read that as "Lame"

JNat

@Krazer I like that

Madara Uchiha

Where are @Mysticial and @Eric to give their 2c?

JNat

Jul 13, 2013 17:41

@MadaraUchiha Eric is not here

Mysticial

hang on, busy at the sec

JNat

30 mins ago, by Krazer

nope hes has stuff he needs to do

Madara Uchiha

I see

Logan M

@Krazer Aren't those only coming out every few months? It wouldn't work if we're planning on doing this as a regular thing.

Krazer

hmm

Madara Uchiha

Jul 13, 2013 17:47

Watamote it is then.

I don't mind trying something new.

iKlsR

ah, about time to start wrapping up, yeah.. that could work since all the others are either too short or too long.

JNat

Watamote it is then.

Awesome :P

Madara Uchiha

Anyone else? :P

Krazer

I was going to suggest en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodacious_Space_Pirates

iKlsR

Watamote it is then.

Krazer

Jul 13, 2013 17:49

I guess we're all in agreement

Watamote it shall be!

Madara Uchiha

I was going to do that :D

iKlsR

a thrilling conclusion

Krazer

I'll draft up a meta about this in a bit

iKlsR

eek, haven't been on meta in a while now.. :S

JNat

Don't you wanna add something to this conclusion, @LoganM?

Logan M

Jul 13, 2013 17:51

@JNat looks like I missed the chance.

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM You can still go for it :D

Logan M

Watamote it is then.

OK I did it

JNat

yay~

Logan M

Did we figure out what we're going to discuss? Otherwise I'll probably just be like "Tomoko was really moe again in this episode. Great ep." every week.

MrPineapple

oh yay :D watamote

lol with the starred messages

Krazer

Jul 13, 2013 17:57

@LoganM reference, what we found funny, thoughts about the genre, series in general
