I think I'd like a violence and gore themed MM. Fists of the North Star, Baccano, Elfen Lied, Shiguiri, Higurashi ect.

[AirCommodore]

Remakes of 70s/80s/etc anime.

such as
Gigantor: Tetsujin 28-gou (2004) | Anime-Planet
Mazinger Z:Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen | Anime-Planet
GeGeGe no Kitaro: Hakaba Kitaro | Anime-Planet
Glass Mask: Glass Mask (2005) | Anime-Planet
Astro Boy: Astroboy (2003) | Anime-Planet
Dororon Enma-kun: Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera | Anime-Planet

Yes, yes, feed my enormous ego!

(mainly I just really really want to watch those Gigantor and Mazinger remakes)

I'm not sure how many anime you could come up for this, but how about a High Stakes theme?

Shows like Kaiji, Bokurano, One Outs, etc. Maybe you could make the theme incorporate a wider variety of the sort, so you could get more anime in - shows like Higashi no Eden or Death Note might be able to fit somehow.

[Jakarrd]

Have we done a Super Robot marathon yet? Some examples of what I could find for it.

Mazinger Z (Great mazinger, ufo robo grendizer,and the mazinkaiser remake)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Getter Robo
Giant Robo
Gun Buster 1 and 2
Brave Raideen
RahXephon
Daitarn 3
GaoGaiGar
All the gundam stuff (that could be a marathon weekend of its own!)
Zoids
Hades Project Zeorymer
Star Driver
combattler V, voltes V, and Daimos
Daitarn 3
The Big O
Eldran series (Zettai Muteki Raijin-oh, genki bakuhatsu ganbaruger, and Nekketsu Saikyo Go-saurer)

In general, I'd love to see a marathon which promoted older anime... I know you always throw in an awesome selection but it'd be nice to either focus on a decade or eliminate a decade altogether. Something like that.

I also love the Post-Apocalyptic/Futuristic idea... looking forward to that one for sure.

A pity I missed out on the Manly Macho Monthly Marathon.

This, would make some of us watch Kaiji, hint hint.

[Kogoruhn]

Could try something based on shows with under 1000 views.

Could include:
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Sexy Commando
Mazinger Z
etc.

Doing this may add rec's for some of the less watched shows and would finally get me to start LotGH.
