Welcome to a special Can You Survive? Anime Marathon Challenge! Got a backlog you wanna get rid of? Want to discuss some old shows with other challengers? Want to see who can be the best, like no one ever was? Well, here's your chance! WHEN? The challenge will start on Friday, November 6th at 8:00 PM in your timezone and will end on Sunday, November 15th at 8:00 PM in your timezone. WHY? For fun! To knock out your backlog! To get the chance to win one of two gift cards (see more details below)! The reasons are numerous and there's no right or wrong reason to do so. HOW? Just choose one, two, three, or more series from the eligible list and watch them! Legal streaming links will be provided for each anime where possible. Anime threads for each series will be available for you to post your thoughts in. Post in this thread the name of the series and how many episodes you watched. ELIGIBLE ANIME LIST See this post for the list of eligible anime. I HAVE 2 CHANCES TO WIN A GIFT CARD/CERTIFICATE? Yes, you read that right. Two $10 gift cards/certificates will be given out to any challenger who chooses to participate. These gift cards will be given for Amazon or Rightstuf (winners will be able to discuss with me any other available places for gift certs of equal value). The two winners will be selected as followed:
RULES
Depending upon how busy I am, it may take a while to calculate the winners of the gift cards. I have a goal to complete this by the end of the month so that the winners have their gift cards in time for holiday season purchases.  I will contact you by PM once the winners have been decided to determine which gift card you want.

I'm in. I live in CST (GMT -6).
Projected list, in case anyone's curious, sort of in intended order (Rahxephon won't happen until my data cap resets on the 9th): - From The New World (18 eps, starting from where I stopped previously) - Rahxephon (26 eps) - Sunday Without God (12 eps) - Wolf's Rain (26 eps) - Haibane Renmei (13 eps) - Moribito (26 eps) - Psycho Pass (22 eps) - Twelve Kingdoms (45 eps) 11/6: From The New World 7-10. This is good stuff, why did I not finish it before? 11/7: From The New World 11-25. DAYUM. This is going to be a hard writeup, I got a little too caught up in it to pay hard attention to details. 11/8: Sunday Without God 1-12+OVA. It was okay. 11/8: Bubblegum Crisis 1-3. Decided to swap it in since it looks like others are interested. Talk about an 80s show. 11/9: Rahxephon 1-10. I'm not crazy about it yet but it's not bad. 11/10: Bubblegum Crisis 4-8. It's really interesting to see how this contrasts with 2040. 11/11: Wolf's Rain 1-10. Feels good to be revisiting again. 11/12: Rahxephon 11-15. I feel like nothing has happened in the last 10 episodes. 11/13: Rahxephon 16-26. Now that's the stuff! Way better than the previous set of episodes. 11/13: Wolf's Rain 11-14, 19-20. Skipping recaps. Still enjoying. 11/14: Wolf's Rain 21-30. The pacing of this show is absolutely amazing. 11/15: Moribito 1-17, as of 7:46 pm.

I doubt that I will be able to compete in terms of total episodes watched as I have a job (and since I work evening shift I won't actually be able to start till after midnight), but I would like to be in consideration for most thoughtful post (since I may be able to post during work at least). I am in Eastern Time Zone.
I'm thinking of starting with either Fate/Zero or Kill la Kill even though both are recent purchases; when I pay Aniplex prices for a show it tends to go to the top of my pile. KlK is most likely as watching a 45 minute info dump after work may not be a great idea. I'm assuming it's OK if I participate in a discussion of a show even if I'm not actually (re)watching it as part of the marathon (for example, I'm not interested in re-watching Katanagatari right now as I watched it recently but I may be interested in other peoples thoughts on the show). |

Count me in in. EST time zone. I'll try for most episodes watched. No way I'll be winning most thoughtful posts.

Yo, Eastern Standard Time.
Starting with Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (chronological order) since this is the only show I can think of that has a weird watching order. Also, I want to get the Endless Eight out of the way pronto. Gonna aim for most thoughtful posts in large episode chunks rather than most watched since, I've seen the majority of anime on this list already. |

There's been a change for me, I ended up calling in sick from work so I will be starting at 8:00, most likely will start with Fate/Zero.

I'm in US EST.
I doubt I'll qualify for anything as this month and December are always bad for me, but I'd still like to give it a try and maybe knock out at least one show from my backlog. I'll start with Katanagatari and mix in episodes from some other series. Haven't decided yet if its going to be Arakawa, Boogie Pop, Planetes or Serial Experiments.
It doesn't really matter to me, but I thought the marathon started at 8pm in our respective time zones. Unless I am totally confused by the time stamp on your post. If so I apologize, my brain is a little fried right now (just got home and all). |

I totally didn't see the 8pm start time. I was off from work, and so was my roommate, so we got started watching. Doesn't matter to me if those ones don't count, I'm not going for episode count anyway.

With some recent developments at work I will have less free time for the next few weeks until some people are trained and moved to other sections. I still plan to participate but there's no way I'll have the time to watch enough to try and win. Plus my best friend just got married so I gotta hang with him. So I won't even stress myself trying. I'll just do this for fun this time.
Here is the projected list of shows I would like to have been able to watch/re-watch though. There's now way I can do them all now, not sure I could to start with, but I at least want to clear out some of my back log. Half, give or take, are re-watches while half are new. Arakawa Under the Bridge Black Lagoon (re-reading the manga now so perfect timing0 Boogiepop Phntom Bubblegum Crisis Clannad Classroom Crisis Fate/Zero From the New World Ghost Hunt Guilty Crown Kill la Kill Moribito Nadesico Now and Then R.O.D. TV Simoun Sound!Euphonium Sunday Without God Tokyo Ghoul Twelve Kingdoms |

These are the shows I'll try to tackle during this challenge. I probably won't be able to get through even a third of it since I'm awfully busy, but I definitely need to cut down through my backlog a little, so I hope I'll be able to do at least 60-80 episodes:
Yuki Yuna is a Hero Eps 1-12 The Twelve Kingdoms Yu Yu Hakusho Katanagatari Full Metal Panic hack://sign Haibane Renmei Eps 1-13 Hunter x Hunter (starting from episode 61) Nadesico R.O.D.
