I would like to tell you that there is about one day left before the fourth anime’thon will start. You have shown interest through either the chat, site or forums and would like to point your attention to the DAMC forumpost giving you the details and the rules of this marathon. This marathon will last for 31 days (from Sep 1st, 2016 until Oct 1st, 2016) with a new show revealed every day on the DAMC schedule. This site has a nifty countdown timer which will tell you exactly when the next show will be up. The time of reveal will be 12.00 GMT every day.
\r\n
Out of these rules, there are some important rules we like to emphasize in this message. The first and main rule is that you have to keep up (no more than 7 days lagging behind) in order to qualify for making suggestions for the future and for you to achieve success in this anime challenge. Secondly is that you have to somehow communicate your rating in either the AP-Marathon chat, a profile comment to one of the organizers or a post in the aforementioned thread. This needs to be done within the 7 days lagging behind period.
\r\n
We have 31 shows ready for you with user and organizer suggestions all the way through. Like previous anime marathons, we will organize groupwatches in the IRC chat mentioned above and our discord channel (ask any of the organizers for an invite to our discord channel). These groupwatches are completely optional. Let’s watch some shows you would otherwise never watch!

New changes in Marathon 4
\r\n
Starting from this marathon onward, we will have a fourth organizer to keep things going smoothly. The new addition to the team is Nicknames, who you can contact with any questions, comments, feedback or rating submissions.
\r\n
The googledocs sheet was getting too huge and has basically broken down. As a result, we have optimized and integrated the stats into the site. This is still a work in process, so it might be updated further as we progress through the month.
\r\n
Hope to have given you the basics this way.
\r\n
Have fun!

I wish manga was cheaper overall as well. Not Japan tier cheap but less then $10USD. Would also try to release the volumes closer to the Japan release date.
Support for the main author is definitely a great reason! However, my main reason is to avoid losing stuff in translation (hence subs > dubs for anime too).
Seinen manga might be the harder ones out there since it's on or off whether furigana is used or not, so getting Ran to Haiiro no Sekai in original form can be a bit of a gamble, haha ;) I'm personally absolutely enamoured by Yotsuba& untranslated. There's so many funny mannerisms in here which I feel are not translatable (Yotsuba speaks exclusively in Hiragana, which can be quite a challenge to read ;) )
Will definitely give that one a look. It's one of the 6 things in my want to read list, so there might just be this chance I'll get to it at some point. I am always a bit antsy with manga though. Prefer to read them in physical Japanese format, meaning that I'm severly limited by my finances. Perhaps it's the next to get!
