NEW THREAD HERE:http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1476592 Following up from this poll, this thread serves to organize our simulwatches. What's a "simulwatch"? We simply watch the same anime while text-chatting about it. Everyone is invited to join us. To avoid confusion due to timezones and daylight saving time let's all use UTC. This is the current UTC time. Here you can convert time between your timezone and UTC (first choice in the drop-down list). Feel free to propose airing shows, older shows, specials, movies, etc. I'll keep the first post up-to-date. |

| Some of my opinions: 1. we should watch series and not a movie, its pretty hard that all of us will be available at same time and then if its for a longer period of time its even harder 2. the series should be finished and not ongoing, so if it goes well and we like it we then could continue with the series and have a party at the end :) 3. shorter the series the better (cause of 2.) 4. maybe we could pick series and only watch it together, so it shouldn't be series that were really interested in so we don't cheat ;) My proposal that goes against 2 of my point(3. and 4.) but oh well I guess I would watch it 2 time anyway. Texhnolyze |
| I agree with what you wrote Sheepkun, but then again I say that if a small group of people want to watch ongoing, then they could do so as well. It doesn't mean that we will all watch in one big team. We can, but smaller teams can work simultaneously too. I'm in for Shippuuden, I suggest we watch it on Friday, since it comes out around that time subbed. But we could have a more flexible schedule if you want and we could watch it sometime between Friday till Sunday night, depending on which day most people can each week. I don't think I can wait to watch it after Sunday though.. :P The times that I would be usually available are UTC: 20:00 - 22:00, that means I could use some of that in between time to watch. Sometimes on Saturday or on Sunday I might be available from earlier on, so that is maybe around UTC 16:00 and on, but that depends. I'm in for Mirai Nikki as well.. I must catch up first, but I can do that. Same hours I'm available. I want to watch Texhnolyze, so I'm in for that if it is decided. Other suggestions of mine would be one of these: Ghost Hound Boogiepop Phantom Ergo Proxy Bokurano Sayounara Zetsubou Sensei That doesn't mean I have time for ALL that at once. But they are the ones that I want to watch and I think that they would be fun to watch with others. I prefer the scary ones. I really like watching scary stuff with others. ^.^ Also I warn you, as I said before, my reactions while watching will be totally random. Oh, also from the airing, I'm in for Bleach as well if anyone is interested in that. That's it for now. Waiting to hear more suggestions. |

The ongoing series suffer the same problem unless we start with the last one aired but then who watched all of them. Of all currently airing series I only watch Naruto so unless we would watch him I would have no idea what was happening(or maybe that would be the charm). LazYSlackeR said: JusticeUndone said: I take it you would watch them at 20:00 - 22:00 too?Other suggestions of mine would be one of these: [...] Yeah, I usually go bouldering at that time but its not strict schedule so I can skip it or go some other day. |
| some nice choices! count me in for all of the finished airing series, a few in particular esp. but just got me done for all those. given everyone else's time constraints, the only time i would be available that jives with yours would be on (most) weekends. my schedule during the week just wouldn't work unless it was no earlier than 22:00. btw might i add, you've done an awesome job with this lazyslacker (might have to change your name after all :p ) you've put this whole thing together so quickly it's hard to believe. fantastic job |
 |
| haha I think Bill is right, your name lazyslacker is just so contradicting, maybe on purpose? :P Anyway, yes, to answer your question, if I'm not too tired or have tons of stuff to do, 20:00-22:00 would be my times (thai is 10-midnight my time). I think I can manage two shows per week, Naruto and something else. |

LazYSlackeR said: I'm not going to re-watch 250 Naruto eps. and some people here do keep up weekly. That being said you are welcome even if you don't know what's going on, it's your choice. That's why I say we should try to agree on a series that everybody is up to date, or start a new one, so its most fun for as many people as possible. Its ok to watch Naruto if we're all up to date, but if for example 6 of us know what's happening but the 7th had no idea it kind of sucks for him no? Thats why shorted series are better, even if somebody joins later he can catch up. It's not a big of a problem(cause everybody watches Naruto anyway) but something to keep in mind for future if more people would like to join - if this gets going that is :) |
| oneA, you're right about what you're saying. But as I said there could be smaller teams of people, or just two people watching a certain show. It doesn't mean that we have to find all one series to watch. That wouldn't be so easy to do. In any case, I see there's a lot of interest for Texhnolyze and Boogiepop Phantom. Should we start thinking about these for starters? Btw I'm free now. Whoever hasn't watched the latest Shippuuden episode and wants to, we can watch it now. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| if that offer is still on the table justice and you haven't already watched it, i'm down. even though i haven't watched naruto before, it would still be fun. lemme know |
|
JusticeUndone said: That's fine with me, but we haven't agreed on what chat to use yet. In any case, I see there's a lot of interest for Texhnolyze and Boogiepop Phantom. Should we start thinking about these for starters? Should we try to convince each other of which one is the best? Should we have a fight to the death? Will you abuse your position as the boss to impose your choice? :P |
| Bill, I didn't see your message on time, I'm sorry. But we could discuss about starting a new anime soon. If you were to watch the latest Shippuuden ep, it would be such a HUGE spoiler for you if you decide to start the series. It was a great episode that explained a lot of things of the past. Lazy, you're putting ideas in my head. Very tempting ideas.. ^.^ are you sure about that? hahaha mmmm ok, so since I'm a nice little girl, let's just talk about the options calmly and see where it gets. If I don't like the outcome I can't guarantee about anything! muahaha. *evil laughter* |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| The three networks proposed were IRC, XMPP and MSN. Some considerations about them (underlined the ones I think are most important for our project):
In favor of XMPP:
This post was brought you by XMPP advocacy! Lol. PS: maybe this was better posted in the other thread? You can move it if you think so... PPS: while I was writing this MSN got ahead. |
LazYSlackeRFeb 13, 2012 5:16 AM
JusticeUndone said: muahaha. *evil laughter* there it is again...I KNEW IT!! but it's fine, besides i wouldn't mind if there was spoiler, i dont see myself being a regular watcher. nothing against the show, just that...it's at how many episodes now?! @@ anyways, it was really just a chance to try this thing out, and to chat with my favorite greek club creator of awesomeness! :P |
|
| Oh shi--- looks like i picked the wrong option from the poll in the other thread... i'm easily convinced, so there's no need for that evil laughter, ok? ;) About the schedule, i have 1-2 exams a month so i would be unavailable for about a week every 4 because i freak out for exams (i.e. now until friday), otherwise i'm online from 22:00 to 24:30 UTC every day (UTC+1 = GMT+1, right?). Considering everybody is interested in Naruto (i never watched it) or Texhnolyze and Boogiepop Phantom (which i already watched but i'm not dying to rewatch; they also have some of the most complicated plots around) i could just wait and see if anyone wants to see a happy movie/ova/special, because it would be a lot easier for me. Otherwise i'll stay tuned and jump in as soon as i see you're going to watch something i'm interested into :) |

| @cat i def agree about an option for a short series or OVA |
|
| Those looking for something short, what about this: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1072/Sweat_Punch 5 eps. 11 min. each... |
| that does look intriguing lazy...i'm down if anyone else is |
|
billmurderface said: Agreed. I added it to the list. We could watch it during this weekend (February 18-19).that does look intriguing lazy...i'm down if anyone else is |
| +1 from me on the Sweat Punch For chat I'm all for IRC cause I don't have to register for it(or Skype I already have Skype acc). If you don't have to reg for XMPP then that is fine with me too. Never heard of the thing before. |
oneAngrySheep said: Added.+1 from me on the Sweat Punch oneAngrySheep said: I never really looked into using XMPP without registering, you made me curious, so I checked around. Theoretically it's supported, but you'd have to find a client and a server that actually let you do it and still you probably wouldn't be able to contact anyone outside of that server as it's considered bad practice.For chat I'm all for IRC cause I don't have to register for it(or Skype I already have Skype acc). If you don't have to reg for XMPP then that is fine with me too. If I may ask, don't you register your nick on IRC? I've seen people pretend to be someone else, "steal" nicks and play pranks. So I always did... oneAngrySheep said: Yeah, well, people usually don't know the name of the protocols they use.Never heard of the thing before. |
| I'm in for that short anime thing for the weekend! lol I usually use MSN, but if you tell me what to download and the basic know how I can chat in everything. :P Btw.. if anyone is up to, we could watch something in the week. Besides the weekend schedule I would like there to be a more loose viewing inside the week? These don't have to be written anywhere, they could be more random. Like me coming here saying I want too watch xyz anime and then if someone else wants to at that time, it would be fine. Ofc ourse there will be a more standard schedule but I think it would be nice if we could just pop in here when we have time and see if anyone else is in the mood of simulwatching at that time. Not to make things more confusing, it's just an idea, so if you think it won't work then don't stress over it much. :) I read what I wrote and it sounds weird, sorry for that, it's 4am.. xD hope it makes sense. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| oh btw sorry for the double post, but tomorrow I want to watch episode 6 of Another that came out today. If anyone is in the mood for scary stuff let me know! ;) I will be available around 20:00 - 24:00 UTC. (that is 10pm - 2am my time) |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| i'm down...2200 to 2400 utc for me...and same goes for the "i can dl anything as long as i get the basics" thing. lemme know :D |

| never seen any of these anime's :p |

It's boring to re-watch stuff :D Right now the poll is: 1 IRC 1 XMPP 2 MSN 4 whatever MSN is slightly ahead, but people here keep saying "I'll use whatever, just tell me" and we are going nowhere. Who makes the final decision? Should I have my way? I don't want to sound too pushy, but I'm going to to leave here a couple of links anyway... I use Psi+, but if you also use other networks Pidgin is probably better. You can use your gmail account or create one at jabber.org (or jabber.ru or jabber.ccc.de etc. here is an incomplete list) If you need a tutorial for Psi or Pidgin. |
| Count me in for Sweat Punch on February 18-19 from 22 to 24 UTC. I'm busy till friday, so please let me know what to use by then ("commercial" name please, i don't know a thing about protocols). --edit-- Damn i'm slow :( I'd like better something i don't have to register to with a mail, i have like 8 mails and 20-30 accounts around so the less the merrier. I'm sure there are browser based irc versions (i used them) so if you could provide a link to one it would be great (sorry i used them like 2 years ago and i lost them) in case you choose irc. My first choice is: anything browser based (i mean client, so everyone else can use their own client of choice if they want; i.e. web based irc for me, who wants uses mirc/whatever). 2nd: mirc but i don't remember how to use it 3rd: msn |

Catpaw said: Done.Count me in for Sweat Punch on February 18-19 from 22 to 24 UTC. It's not an email and you don't need an email to use it. There are browser-based clients for XMPP too (but you need an account anyway). https://imo.im/ https://www.meebo.com/messenger https://jwchat.org/ IRC would be my second choice too. |
| Thanks, the third one looks easy to use and the registration just requires nick+password. I'll keep that in mind, now let's see what the others want to use. |
Art by: akka |
Catpaw said: It's that way for everyone, an email is never required. It's just that your nickname will look like an email address, but that doesn't mean it is an email address.the registration just requires nick+password. By the way, if we choose IRC another question arises... Which IRC network? XD |
| ok, it's 20:22 UTC now. I will be available at around 22:00. If anyone is interested to watch Another episode 6 with me at that time, let me know. ;) |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| I'm interested. Where do we meet to chat? I don't feel comfortable imposing on others, so I'll just pass this responsibility to the boss... |
| lulz. :P msn would be nice.. but then again I can try one of the rest you wrote about. I'll go check them out in a few. I'll write it on the main page again, so if anyone else is interested we can decide all together. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| Re-reading the thread IRC seems like the only one we are (almost?) all familiar with, but choose whatever you feel like, we can always change it if we don't like it... |
| I'm used in using Msn. I like putting emoticons and all. But I don't mind much, so I can try everything. Just let me know what I have to do (download etc) , cause I haven't used anything else in ages. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| It already 22, at least for tonight let's settle for IRC. If you don't know hot to use it you can just go here http://rizon.net/chat Choose a username. set the channel as #JustForTonight press connect. |
| Ok, sure I'll be there in 10'. My fav program on TV is still on, but it's almost over. :) |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| be there in a min |
|
| ok me too. 2 mins. :P |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| ok i totally got kicked from the rizon thing and cant get on again |
|
| I would like to join in on the fun too! I just feel a little lost at the moment so could someone guide me in the right direction please? :) Also I'm down for watching anything |
| El Psy Congroo |
| hey sorry man, we already finished up...but next time you should check in ahead of time, we'll def do it again soon |
|
| yes, Kruisnek. You just have to have an Msn account and that's pretty much all. Check the anime we are planning to watch and also visit this thread a lot to keep up with updates on news. ;) We'll be glad to have you! |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
| Cool its been a while since I last logged in so I'm trying to play "catch up". Is there a show I should start watching so I'll be at the same point with both of you? Here is my email so you can add me to MSN :) eric.p.pare@gmail.com |
| El Psy Congroo |
| We just watched Another episode 6 tonight. It's a thriller kind of show, so if you like that type of shows you can watch that up to that. We'll be also watching some Shippuuden and Bleach if you're interested and starting a new short anime series in the weekends. You can check the first post where there is a sort of plan there. Oh, also I added you! ;) I'm nataly, so you can find me. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa |
Kruisnek said: Anything? Are you sure?Also I'm down for watching anything Actually I kind of want so watch it now. I want to see why it's so bad XD Even though I don't really like the show, watching Another was amusing. We tried IRC, but the web client two of us were using had some shortcomings and JusticeUndone missed her MSN, so we just joined her. It took us 3 hours, but somehow we manged XD Can someone knowledgeable about MSN tell me if there are persistent chat rooms or not? |
| Lol on the description that was very accurate though! :PP Msn doesn't have chat rooms, but we can create a group where we can put all the people interested to watch in it. Everytime we open up Msn we can open that certain window and it will show who member is online and who is not. I could try and create that group later and see if that works. I was once part of such a group when I was an active vidder on YT. We called it vidding elite and many good vidders were in it. We had like 20 members and you could log in anytime you wanted and check who is in. |
