Catch up with WINTER! Monthly Marathon: April 17-18

[chii]

***This event is closed

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? April 17-18. 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 Winter 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.

Character Submissions: Things are a little strict for this as it has to be well done. See thread HERE for more information on how to add a character to Anime-Planet.

How? Just choose a series from the list and watch it! (watching more than just the requirements is encouraged!)

You may watch:

2 24-26 episode series

~OR~

1 24-26 episode series + 2 11-13 episode series

~OR~

4 11-13 episode series

SUPER CHALLENGE: Gintama: First 100 episodes (more encouraged) OR Cross Game plus one of either of these anime: Hanasakeru Seishounen, Elementhunters (can use Friday if wanted)

Points will go as follows:

11 episode series = 1 point
12 episode series = 2 points
13 episode series = 3 points
24 episode series = 4 points
26-49 episode series = 5 points
50-52 episode series = 8 points
53+ episode series = 15 points
Accepted Character Submission = 1 point
rec / user review = .5 points

In order to get these points you MUST finish the series. Extra points will be given for making rec's, user reviews, and character submissions.

Prizes for doing a Monthly Marathon:

1. One lucky person with the most Points will get a banner to parade around Anime-Planet for the whole month!
2. Company while you marathon the shows with fellow Anime-Planet members
3. Hours of anime added to your watched list

He could be standing on a box ;)

[Omurqi]

And it's that time of the season again ^_^ Might use this one to finally catch up with Kimi ni Todoke and Railgun (stalled both after 2-4 episodes).

[AirCommodore]

Sign me up for Armed Librarians and So-Ra-No-Wo-To. I'll decide the other series to watch spur-of-the-moment and right after the marathon begins, because there's a couple I'm interested in, but I certainly don't have the time to watch all of them marathon-style.

[Menchi]

Oh noes! I'm going to a convention then so I can't participate! :'( *sob sob*

[captaincrunch]

Count me in for:

Kimi ni Todoke and Ookami Kakushi.

Although I'll probably only be able to finish Todoke. :)

[ludithor]

Sign me up for: Gintama *-*...

[ssoele]

Count me in for:
- Letter Bee
- So-Ra-No-Wo-To
- Dance In The Vampire Bund

The marathons are always terrible times for me. ;-; I have my last exams on Saturday, then moving back home for the summer on Sunday.
I suppose I might have time to get one show in. Dance In The Vampire Bund for me :)
