Small Quiz for everyone who has seen this anime ?.....1.....2......3....Ding Ding Ding.
There are normally 3 answers when I show people this gif.
1) "Hey it's
Seirei no Moribito."
2) "Hey thats Seirei no Moribito I have it in my Plan to Watch list. "
3) " Hey I don't know that show, but it really looks cool."
I talked a lot about certain things I want to do with this project, but
how does it work?
In short what we have here is a Group Watching Project. For the group watch we will use
Caracal. The link to the room is provided minutes before the event. You don't need to have an account on the site to join the watches.
What if Caracal isn't available?
As sometimes might happen that all Caracal's rooms are in use, we have
CyTube as a second choice. This website needs you to have an extension, depending on the browser you're using. So please, take some minutes to
read @Akuma-chi 's explanation about it on this post to get it working. CyTube events are held on
this room. You will be asked to type a password, which is "Spotlight".
During the Group Watches text chat will be enabled, and for those who prefer Voice Chat during group watches, we have a voice channel on our Discord server dedicated for group watches. To join the AG Discord server, you can head along to
this thread to sign up for an invite!
Spotlight scheduling and operation
The dates for those Group Watches will be the 2nd and 4th weekend of each month. Note: they might be changed to the following week if Discord's Seasonal Voice Chats are happening. Also, The Clash' Spotlights will probably have special dates.
During the Group Watches a total of 3 Episodes will be watched (so around 1 hour of anime). However for movies they will be watched as a whole (so around 1-2 hours)
One of the most unique thing about these group watches is that the anime that will be watched will be picked randomly from the lists that you will find in this post. This means no popularity bias. This ride is meant as an adventure into uncharted territory after all.
The second unique thing about this will be that for each new Group watch a new show will be watched.
For example: on the
7th of October: Mononoke
21st of October : Golgo 13
4th of November: Perfect Blue
The randomizer will pick two new shows for the next month right after the Group Watch on the 4th Sunday of the current month live.
To support Spotlight we have a few additional things.
1) A
Discord Channel on AG's Discord Server for exchanging opinions, more casual
talk and also to set up smaller group watches if you like. ^^
2) To make Spotlight as accessible to as many people as possible there will be two Group Watches. One hosted by
@Mamamama99 and one hosted by
@MisaoAino (
Note: Please, read
"Time Availability Survey" for more info). On Mondays before the events a post will go up in the forums with a set of time windows.
On Fridays before the Group Watch the voting will be closed and via majority vote a time will be chosen)
Note:
You can choose multiple times for example "from 1PM-till 4PM(EST)" and even if you
do not vote you can still join if you like and the time that is chosen fits you.
(Voting for a time is not mandatory ofc. if you want to skip a Group Watch,
however if you do vote you also should show up if your time is picked ^^)
3) Free Hugs xD (which will be given by
@BlueSkylark @MisaoAino is better is giving good
motherly :smirk: hugs)
