IRC Anime Party - Schedule and Discussion
What
An online anime party where viewers get together to watch some anime episodes on IRC. Where #animesuki.party IRC channel on ZiRC: irc.zirc.org (choose other servers if this generic one doesn't work) When Every Saturday @ 2130 UTC. Time zone converter How 1)We determine what to watch beforehand. 2)Each person downloads the anime episodes separately during the week. 3)We gather in the same channel on IRC. 4)Everyone loads the same anime episode on their favorite media player (set the media player to always-on-top and switch focus to the IRC client's channel window). 5)The MC (probably me) counts down to zero. 6)Everyone starts their media player at the end of the countdown. 7)Each of us read and write comments in the channel during the show (multitasking skills required ) Resources Latest anime party discussion Old anime party thread Key/Legend Here are the acronyms I've used for the anime series, together with the fansub versions we are using in square brackets. TW = Tweeny Witches(Mahou Shoujo Tai) [AnimeForever]; B = Bleach [AKeep&ANBU]; NRTR = Narutaru [Triad & AonE]; Schedule January 8, 2005

Hmm.. I missed a few session updates here... November 13, 2004
NOTE2: Parties are only fun with enough people. In the case of the anime party, we will postpone the session to the following week if there are fewer than three(3) people attending. NOTE3: To avoid endless delays (and subsequently forgetting what previous episodes talked about) there will be no more than 2 postponings of the same episodes. Even if there are too few people, we will either watch them together or individually so we can go on to the next episodes. Last edited by Cz; 2004-12-28 at 23:57. |

Why did you create this thread instead of the old one?
Hmm. I hope I can make it this Saturday, because I am going to a party that day. :\ And the Dôgakon-convention (in Stockholm) is that weekend too! But I'll probably be home before 21.30 UTC. See you then! EDIT: Instead of Tweeny Witches, couldn't we have Midori no Hibi? Because every episode of TW is 9 minutes long ( http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...me.php?id=2342 ) and MnH has the standard running time. Right? Else it would be a start at 2130 UTC, then 9 + 23 + 23 minutes of anime. Something like that, right? Last edited by Gravi-T; 2004-06-03 at 18:14. |

The schedule can be changed. We could watch 2 eps of TW in a week if we wanted to, and if no new ones are out, we could fit in another series or an extra episode of an existing one. All these are decideable here or immediately after the party on IRC.
I created this new thread because I want to keep the first post updated with the latest schedule for the next party. If you look at the link to the old old party thread this was how we did it last time. |

I think only about like... 5 eps have been released of TW, though. That's 5 x 9 = 45 minutes. Not a lot... :0 Madlax on the other hand has got 9 eps released. It is a fairly slow series so you might as well just squeeze it in somewhere and move on... You aren't continuing this party for 9 weeks, right? Ah, whatever

Right...
I need someone as a backup MC in case I don't make it or is late for some reason. Unfortunately it's too early to tell who will be there persistantly enough. In case I do not make it this time (I might be going out) whoever is in the channel can begin the countdown. The steps are outlined in the first post. |

Yay! The last party actually was a success! Great turnout too!
It would be too confusing if there was about 50 people on the channel. The general views on the shows were: Gilgamesh: Sucked, but give it time and it'll be better Tweeny Witches: Too short, but cute Madlax: Great show, "I'm starting to like this", "James Bond!" and so on. By the way, you guys should post what your IRC-nicks are too. So everyone knows everyone. Mine is Gravi-T. :P And I'd like to add Midori no Hibi to the list of shows. That show is awesome! And it's a comedy, so we can write at the same time. |

Sorry I missed the first party... I had a graduation party to attend.
I guess my opinion really doesn't count since I missed the all the important meetings and such... But I really like Midori No Hibi and I recomend it. It's a show that would be hard for anyone to dislike. |

Ok, I will tentatively place Midori no Hibi, Anime-Empire version on this coming Saturday's schedule. I say tentatively since it's already Wednesday and people might not have time to download it. Furthermore I am not seeing any more votes for it right now.

So you mean, just because it's a Wednesday, no one has the time to download it? For me, one episode usually takes 1½ hour to download. So if I download them during the time that I sleep, everything is aaaaaaaaaaaall right!

Just because YOU dislike it?
I re-watched the first episode of Gilgamesh and it's actually better than I thought. I mean, we were just making fun of it during the party, but the second time you watch it, it's better. Okay, the drawing and animation was pretty crappy, but it had an interesting storyline, which I would like to see develop. It reminds me of the Fatal Fury anime movie. Hey! That gave me an idea! What about watching a movie in the animesuki IRC party sometime? If there is an unlicensed movie released, we could all watch it together! Wouldn't that be nice? Anyway, I'm all charged up for tonight's (for me it will be around midnight) party! I've got ep. 2 of GGM and MX and ep. 1 of MNH and currently downloading TW 2. But if GGM 2 doesn't satisfy our needs, I think we should ditch it too. |
