MADHOUSE is one of the biggest anime studios around so what better way to pay tribute than spending an entire 4 days watching some of the great anime they have produced!

When?
June 24-27.

Why?
MADHOUSE MADHOUSE MADHOUSE

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! Then just post how many episodes you watched in total in the thread provided. Make sure you put COMPLETED LIST at the top of your post or it might not be counted. 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

Note: No matter how many episodes the OVA has it still counts as 2 points. If there are exceptions you will be told in the MM thread for that month.

Prizes for doing a Monthly Marathon:

1. One lucky person with the most Points will get a badge to parade around Anime-Planet!
2. Company while you marathon the shows with fellow Anime-Planet members
3. Hours of anime added to your watched list
4. Knowing you have helped out the site by adding more content to it
5. TACO Points for TACO members

I think I'll watch Card Captor Sakura for this one.

[LinkSword]

I guess this will be the time to do some of the remaining Madhouse TV shows I've been meaning to watch. Also one of my stupid anime goals is to watch everything done by Madhouse, so yeah, this helps! =P

Titles I think I'll watch (some of them):

-Supernatural the Animation (*^*)
-Kemonozume
-Casshern Sins
-Mokke
-Kobato.
-X TV
-Wolverine
-Ultravioleta Code 044
-Ninja Scroll TV
-Tsukikage Ran
-Aquarian Age
-Allison to Lillia


As for X, would you recommend to watch the movie first chii?

[NoirTheElitist]

I think I'll watch mostly movies so I can avoid the series -__-

It would be something like this:

- The girl who leapt through time
- Perfect Blue
- Piano no Mori
- Hellsing OVA
- Boogiepop Phantom
- Devil May cry
- Casshern Sins
- Nana
- Texhnolyze
- Death Note

The movie is a weird condensed messed up version of the series in a way so if you are going to be watching the series I'd say watch the series first.

I'll be honest though I wouldn't like X as much as I do if I didn't watch the movie before the series. (series starts off REALLY slow) the movie was just so amazing to me even though most people hate it :(

It's very episodic, I don't know how marathonable you'd find it. Still, good choice.

I have a feeling I will attempt Rainbow and Paradise Kiss and get Hitsuji no Uta off my stalled list.

Great choice!

It may come off as a tad melodramatic at times but overall it's a wonderful, emotional piece of work.

I might do the marathon this month. Depends on if I'm wiped out my first week back at school.

Trust me, I can handle melodrama. Sometimes I revel in it. I look forward to it muchly. I'll prioritise it over Paradise Kiss actually since I've seen every other Yazawa adaptation... PK can wait.

If you can handle melodrama, watch Nana instead!

I may join in this as well, we'll see if work will allow me to or not :P
