Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

Welcome to a special Monthly Marathon that will only happen 4 times a year! At the end of each anime season Spring, Summer,Fall, Winter) we'll be taking all the series that have just ended and marathon them! This gives you a chance to watch all those shows you missed before the next season really gets going. This seasonal themed marathon event is opened to all Anime-Planet members and this provides a golden opportunity to flaunt how much more free time you posses then your Anime-Planet peers!

This breaks down to each event technically having 2 seasons (or more) of ended anime in the list because all the anime from before this season will be ending as well if they had 24-26+ episodes.

When? October 6-7. A whole weekend to catch up on some shows you missed out on that have just finished airing. Just sign up by posting what you want to watch and your name will be added to the anime participating list.

Why? To catch up with all those summer shows you missed out on!

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 and watch it! (watching more than just the requirements is encouraged!)
You may watch:

2 24-37 episode series

~OR~

1 24-37 episode series + 2 11-13 episode series

~OR~

4 11-13 episode series

SUPER CHALLENGE: Watch as much Sket Dance as you can! (Can use Friday if wanted)

10-11 episode series = 1 point
12 episode series = 2 points
13 episode series = 3 points
24-25 episode series = 4 points
26-49 episode series = 5 points
50-52 episode series = 8 points
53+ episode series = 10 points

*Some anime were left out due to being related to other series or not all the episodes were available.
*Added Hakuouki "S3" because it's a prequel to the other 2 shows (so IMO this is the best one to watch first if you haven't seen any of the others).
*Added Yuru Yuri and Yurumates 3D Plus because you don't really have to have seen S1 to understand S2.
*Shiba & Yurumates 3D Plus will be worth 1 point because they are short episodes.

... interesting.

well Yurumates 3D Plus | Anime-Planet and Shiba Inuko-san | Anime-Planet are basically free points. I can probably will myself through La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia | Anime-Planet in the end. beyond that I probably should be checking out Humanity Has Declined | Anime-Planet and Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate | Anime-Planet anyway.

the downside for me is that I won't have got the internet in the new place upgraded yet at that point, and it's currently 8gb monthly being split amongst 4 people. maybe I'll stake out a starbucks for two days or something...

Campione!! That last five minutes of the first episode was awesome.
Binbougami ga!, a shame this one was so short.
Accel World, I'm just here for the fights.

Or Sket Dance. This is right after my essay is due but in the middle of TV purchasing. Or just family stuff. I'll try.

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

Yay! This'll be my first AP Marathon.
Alright, I'll line up Yuru Yuri (I'll try to get S1 in before next weekend, but it's no biggie if I don't), Binbougami ga! and Hyou-ka: You Can't Escape... and if I get time I'll try to squish in some La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia and/or Kokoro Connect.

Is there a reason Joshiraku | Anime-Planet didn't make the cut? as far as I can tell it's only related to its own OVA

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

because not all the episodes are avaliable

if they become avaliable by the date of the event i'll add it.

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

No, don't do it. Save your sanity before you'll succumb to the fail expectation of this anime. :pokerface:

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

As I always try to, I approach with no expectation, we'll see how it goes :P

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

Yay, I've been waiting for this again :3 I'll choose....

Accel World
Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Oda Nobuna

Re: Catch up with SUMMER! Monthly Marathon: October 6-7
 

that's the problem. the first episode (and the second to some extent) set you up. the rest of them just kind of meh you down.
