Waste Your Weekend: WTF?! - sponsored by FYAB

[VivisQueen]

Never underestimate humanity's capacity for being surprised. Next to 'I love you', 'WTF' is probably the oldest expression in the world. Under this general banner, we may find sub-terms such as 'WTFJH' (what the f*ck just happened?) and 'WTFWT' (what the f*ck was that?), as well as the less common 'WTFTWA' (what the f*ck, that was awesome!). Prepare to use various combinations of these at frequent intervals while this Waste Your Weekend pushes the envelope on freakishness, freneticism, and general bullshittery.

With that, I welcome you to my humble event titled Waste Your Weekend: WTF?! in honour of anime's weirder and more eccentric frontiers. Featuring the likes of Mamoru Oshii and Satoshi Kon, the aim is to leave you spacing out with that all-time favourite feeling, WTFIMA (what the f*ck, it's Monday already?).

How it Works
This is a super-marathon event open to all AP members in which we compete to be the biggest wasters on the (anime-) planet! You choose from the set menu below, watch your chosen shows over the course of a weekend, then go into the linked threads and discuss them with your waster buddies. Your choices must be from the menu and you must watch the minimum number set in each category, although watching more is highly encouraged (see bottom of the page for a list of 'Hardcore Challengers').


Prizes for participating:

1) Immense bragging rights
2) Fun discussions with fellow wasters
3) Almost a whole day’s worth of anime added to your stats

The weekend to be shamefully wasted: Sat 11th December / Sun 12th December

Guys.

You must sign up for 1 series, 2 OVAs, and 3 movies minimum.

It doesn't matter if you don't make it, but it does matter that you attempt it in order to WASTE your weekend. I'm going to make it clearer in the intro.

[Kenikki]

I would like to see Princess Tutu, Excel Saga, Dead Leaves, Mind Game and Old Crocodile, but unfortunately I'm too busy with watching as much from this year as possible, and I've already wasted too much time on Detective Conan.

Meh, I don't have that kind of time with army stuff going on more often starting in December since basic will be starting in Jan. I thought this was more like the normal marathons and such.
