***CLOSED
Welcome to the annual Christmas Time Monthly Marathon! This Christmas we shall be looking at some great older anime! It's time to remember those blasts from the past series and get back to your inner child.
When?
December 24 to 27.
Why?
Who doesn't like to think about their past anime. What first got them started on this magical journey. This marathon we shall take a look at some of those titles that make us remember where it all began. While your very first anime might not be on this list, (everything is older than 2000), there's plenty of titles that you should check out to see what all those older folks always talk about when they reminisce.
Recommendations: Please add Recommendations for these series once you've watched them! Every single recommendation made helps out the thousands of people who use the database each month to find new stuff to watch. Everyone who participates in this Monthly Marathon should add recommendations for other series they think a person would like, if they can think of any.
User Reviews: User reviews don't have to be many paragraphs, or even have good English. They can be as little as a single paragraph just to explain what you thought of the series and any extra tips for the reader. The longer and more detailed the better, of course.
How?
Just choose a series from the list, movie or OVA and watch it! Post how many episodes you watched if you didn't complete or started off at a certain episode. Counting will go as follows:
1 Episode = 1 point
1 OVA = 2 points
1 Movie = 3 points
Recommendation / User Review = .5 points
Bonus 5 points if you completely finish a series

Super Old Shorts (1928-1933) Click
here for eligible titles. Click
here to get them.
*The shorts above will be worth .5 points per short. Only the first 2 files in that package are on Anime-Planet so ONLY those are worth the points.
*All relations are also valid for points.
*Series that are 12-13 episodes in length are mostly a 2000+ thing. I suppose we can thank Lain for taking anime into this direction. So this is why some of these titles are probably not even popular among old school fans.
