[chii]

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.
Sunrise being the second largest anime studio around is known best for their Gundam franchise. What better way to pay tribute than spending an entire 9 summer days watching some of the great anime they have produced!

When?
August 25 to September 2.

Why?
Sunrise holds many treasures waiting for you to enjoy!

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

A master list of some stuff I intend to get to:

Fucking Afro-Ken... Shit I'm watching that again.
Sweet, can finally get to Cowboy Bebop.
Escaflowne? Wanted to see it ever since it was on YTV.
Throw some Gintama in there for it being Gintama.
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere: Chicks + Mecha + One dude among women = I have no idea what this is about.
I swear, I'll think about rewatching some Keroro Gunsou dubbed. Good dubbed stuff.
Infinite Ryvius sounds like some good psychological stuff between chaos and order.
And to bake the list to perfection, Yakitate!! Japan.

There's like two pages full of Gundam! Over two pages!

[chii]

heh gundam's a beast~

[coffeebreath]

I'm already rewatching Inuyasha so it looks like that will account for most of my points.

I've had Escaflowne stalled halfway through for 4 years now... guess it's time to start that one again.

Bunch of other random shit if I can get to it.

[Aranneas]

Good a chance as any to start on Accel World. I've been eyeing it for a while.

question: so http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/freedom as a 7 episode OVA would only be worth 2 points?

when did 'title links' break btw >.>

[chii]

yes freedom is only 2 points

[Aranneas]

and that doesn't seem at all... off?

[Naga]

^ I agree. If you ask me there should be some sort of exeption for long-ish OVAs... at least for 7+

I´m in. I needed some motivation for fewl older series. Old school stuff .

[YamiRin]

I'll join and watch

Escaflowne
Banner of the Stars (and II and III)
and Yakitate!! Japan (starting with ep11)

and then we'll see if I've got any time left to watch more.

[Damias]

I'll accept the challenge though I got some questions.
~Just to clarify, the anime that is already watched won't be points included.
~Also, how are points tracked cause I was thinking those that joined would post their list once and in the future, the user would edit their list.
