I'd like to be doing that 'poorly'.

Well, I've watched a whopping... 4 episodes... >__>

[Funari]

I'm leading against Kogoruhn... somehow. Will most likely change pretty soon but had to say it precisely because of that.

Let's see I'm on episode 262 of One Piece so that's 50 episodes exactly. Fuck it I might actually be able to catch up before the marathon is over then again I've only watched so many because I never went to bed last night... so I might collapse from exhaustion at this pace.

[Kogoruhn]

Time for some sleep. Still not doing as well as I would have hoped but am doing better than my last update. 52 hours in 91 episodes of One Piece down.

Bloody hell, how do you manage that?

I have finished only Ayakashi and 15 episodes of One Piece. Feel like starting a new series, but can't decide whether to watch Hana Yori Dango or Gokinjo Monogatari, both seem very interesting. Any opinions?

Meanwhile, I think I'll go and re-watch Mononoke again, Ayakashi's last arc was incredible.

I would say HYD because I can promise it has more marathonability. GM is a lot slower. That said, we still have a week so you could seriously toss a coin with those two. Both are melodramatic and angsty though HYD has the more soap opera level antics. But so much fun!

p.s.: i'm doing absolutely shit but I feel at least I started a series that I am thoroughly enjoying.

Cool, I'll start with Hana Yori Dango then. They are both shows with 50+ episodes so the one with more marathon potential definitely sounds better, will save Gokinjo Monogatari for later if I manage to squeeze it in.

^ You should really try to watch more One Piece you are almost to the point where the show gets good and it just keeps improving from there.

Anyway I'm almost done with the Enies Lobby arc which will make 100 episodes even for the marathon so far.

...ohhhh, man, two people who watch at an insane pace... guess this means no badge, most likely... but will still try, anyways, and Sailor Moon's pretty alright too, so it's been a good marathon so far.
