Monthly Marathon: Toei Animation Summer End Special August 27 to September 4

[chii]

CLOSED

This is a very special Monthly Marathon that will span 2 months so there will be 2 winners for this event. One shall get the August Badge and the other shall get the September one.
Toei Animation is pretty much the biggest anime studio around and has the most titles under their name, so what better way to pay tribute than spending an entire 9 summer days watching some of the great anime they have produced!

When?
August 27 to September 4.

Why?
Toei you so HUGE and OLD!

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

Notes: 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.
If you start in the middle of a series (this would mainly effect current airing series) you are not eligible for the 5 bonus points for completing a series unless it is specified 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

Allowed Series

ANYTHING from this list!
Toei Animation Anime | Anime-Planet

*All relations are also valid for points.
*Marie & Gali tv series because each episode is 5 minutes long, for every 4 episodes watched it will be worth one point.

[Kogoruhn]

Ok lets start a list. Not that much Toei stuff I feel I really "need to see" so I'm not going to plan for much. If anyone notices any ommisions from what I've seen let me know and I'll consider adding it

Galaxy Express (113)
Hell Teacher Nube (49)
One Piece (catch up from 335)

[Menchi]

Sheesh, 9 days? I'll see if I can watch some episodes in school, lol :D Don't know yet how much I can watch, I'll add stuff to the list later on, but at least:

Air Gear: Special Trick
Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror
Kuuchuu Buranko
Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne (from ep 33)
Silver Fang
Interstella 555
Kanon
Marie & Gali
Halo Legends

[MugiwaraMarius]

Errr well Link would probably get mad at me if I don't use this as a chance to watch more One Piece.

[LinkSword]

^ Actually I hadn't thought of that until I saw your name in the thread right now.

But yeah, I guess it would be too bad to miss the chance. =P There's not much worth watching from Toei anyway.




As for me, I'm never sure when I'll be home during summer, but in any case if I get the time to follow the marathon I'll probably go with Mononoke and then try to finish off Hokuto no Ken (stalled at episode 65). Good excuse for me as well to get done with a long-running shonen. If only it were 1/50 as good as OP...

[Thrawn]

Captain Harlock
Fist of the North Star
Kuuchuu Buranko
Osamu Tezuka's Buddha: The Great Departure
Sakigake!! Otoko Juku
Stop!! Hibari-kun!

If I can find most of them.

[hira]

Perfect, might finally start One Piece for this. There's Hana Yori Dango too but I am not too sure about it right now. Also, I'll throw in Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror if I have any time.

[Marceus]

I think I'll use this opportunity to start watching One Piece as well.

[mmag13]

I kinda want to start One Piece.....but I'm kinda strapped down with long running series for the moment. Maybe if I can take a big enough chunk out of catching up with Gintama before this marathon starts.....
