[Anime] GFF Anime Club

Welcome to the GFF Anime Club. If you came in here for Cookie Monster, fat Cloud Strife, a potted plant, and a dog in a Wolverine costume then you'll be pleasantly surprised! If you came for anime well we got that stuff too. If you came to chat with other people about this business you're watching at the same time well then by golly you are in for a treat!

Every Tuesday and Thursday at 8 PM Eastern Time I will be streaming around two hours of anime from two series for around the run time of three episodes each for a total of around six episodes of that stuff from Japan. I'll also be running six episodes of a third series on the weekend (could be Friday, Saturday, or Sunday depending on my schedule).

"But how?!" you may ask. I've set up a webpage with all provided (even a chatroom!). Just visit it and it'll start streaming right away. Of course if it's not a scheduled time then it'll just be playing silly videos I grabbed from youtube. Give it a whirl.

this contains the original post - you can ignore it:

Alright I'm sure a good number of you are familiar that I run the stream for Drink On. Last night after that event a good number of us stayed up to marathon Detroit Metal City with great success and thus I know that there is an interest for streaming anime around here.

I've been kicking around the idea for running a bi-weekly (now tri-weekly) event for a bit but now I'm pretty much ready to commit to it but I need to know what you guys would like to watch.

We'd be watching two series three episodes from each show for a grand total of six episodes a night. So for example it could be three episodes of DBZ and three episodes of Azumanga Daioh for the two week days, and finally six episodes of Cowboy Bebop on the weekend. If we had a show that was only 11 minutes per episode like Cromartie High or Detroit Metal City then we'd run five or six episodes to compensate for normal 22 minute episode run time. So yeah basically just like your run of the mill anime club except over the Internet.

So here's how it would go down: Tuesdays and Thursdays 8 PM to 10 PM EST.

Let me know if you're interested and what shows you'd like to watch. Also if we can get this thing rolling fast enough let me know if you'd like to start this week or next week.

I will be updating this opening post with more information.

WE ARE CURRENTLY WATCHING:

____

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As of right now, I can't make either of those times, but a group gathering to watch stuff is always a fun idea, which is why Tails' simulwatches got attention.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I'm thinking of uploading the entire showing for Tuesday and Thursday each week either as groups of individual episodes or use procaster to record the show to my computer and then upload that for people to download. So you could download that at your leisure if you missed the show or just can't make it but still want to follow along simulwatch style. Would that work for you?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That would be awesome actually.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I wish there is real time stream chat for stuff on Hulu or CrunchyRoll, I wouldn't mind watching Gintama while chatting with friends. lol

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just to back up what I said in the last post I've created a test broadcast recording that lasts around 2 minutes of me skipping around two episodes of Astroboy 2003. If it's this easy then posting recordings of Tuesday and Thursday nights will be cake.

Check it out - http://www.thegond.com/gff/animeclub/test/

Now here's my question - do you want it to automatically play when opened or not?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ebichu please, i will watch then.

no homo

Autoplay is generally shitty; however, nobody will be navigating to drunkgff/animeclub without knowing what they're going there for. It's like an individual youtube page; the video is the main content. Especially considering how many times you had to remind people that autoplay was disabled on drunkgff last night, I think autoplay is probably better.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, I'm gonna agree with that. I've updated that page and drunkgff's page accordingly.

Boo has suggested Planetes and Dokkoida. I might as well tell you my picks - Princess Tutu, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and Hare+Guu. I will select one of my picks and deliberate on two others that you guys have and will suggest.

Are you guys up for starting this Tuesday night? =o

Jam it back in, in the dark.

F yeah, Guu is awesome. I recommend doing it, though you'll want to make sure the people who are watching it are either stoned, or enjoy complete randomness.

My roommate is letting me borrow the Tylor dvds, but haven't sat down to watch them yet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've been busy doing some copy pasting and tweaking of the drink on webpage to create an adjusted layout for dis anime club ting.

GFF ANIME CLUB - GAR MOE FUN FARTS YEAH

Click on it check it out! Now with more ponies as requested by Infernal. <3

The Tutu, Ebichu, and Tylor images are meant to be temporary placeholders but if I don't get some good suggestions then I might just make that the line up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Whats your time zone again Acer. I'm trying to figure out if I could participate from Korea.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm all for this! But why DBZ of all things? Is it at least the re-done version that supercompresses it to a semi-tolerable length?

Haven't seen Azumanga or Bebop in AGES. I'd be all over this

I was speaking idiomatically.

Planetes would be great. When is this thing going to start? Or what.

(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

What's your time zone, Hyde?

Gech, those were just examples of what the line up could be. I'm probably not going to do super long series like DBZ or One Piece. Azumanga Daioh and Cowboy Bebop would be appropriate in length though. Of course there will probably be exceptions.

I'm gearing up to start tomorrow at 8 PM EST. I will post a couple example time zones in the opening post when I update it with more details.

FELIPE NO

Kaleido Star is awesome and anyone who objects to watching it should just fucking leave.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

GMT: +9 hours

Seoul, SK

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have installed a new driver for my wireless adapter, so I may be able to participate.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'd be more inclined to participate if the shows being nominated weren't things I've already seen. Its almost as if they stopped making good anime when my interest in it dwindled.

Oh wait...

How ya doing, buddy?

When did you stop watching?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking mostly in jest, but if you must know, I think I stopped keeping up with anime around 2008.
My loss of interest could probably be blamed on the seeming impossibility of anything topping Gurren Lagann.
It was pretty much "Huh, well, I guess that concludes anime."

Most amazing jew boots

Let's bring this up again, shall we

But I'm pretty gun-ho on giving Bebop another run-through. It's a pretty awesome series.

lol Gurren Lagann. Anyway let me give you a list of all the awesome you have missed since 08!

Kanokon
Kemeko DX!
Rosario + Vampire
Strike Witches
Akikan!
Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!
Kampfer
Queen's Blade
Ladies vs Butlers!
Mayoi Neko Overrun!

Look at any of those and tell me anime isn't still worth watching.

(go watch Kaleido Star, Gech you faggot)

How ya doing, buddy?

I HAVE UPDATED THE OPENING POST. I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD.

Kaleido Star is wonderful. I think it would be perfect to take Princess Tutu's slot after that's completed considering same director and character design and such.

I created a time zone list with Seoul included. Thanks! =)

Well to be honest I haven't been watching a hell of a lot of anime either. I attribute that to not being able to watch it with anyone which is always more fun for me. Perhaps even though you've seen these shows before it'll be enjoyable doing so with GFF and respark the passion you once had. Besides it's not terrible to revisit good shows.

We'll have to see. As much as I'd like to run everything forever there are 4 episodes for a series shown a week. That means it could take six weeks to get through a show unless you guys want to adjust it to 3 episodes per series and make this thing run for three hours instead. It's your call. I'm okay with staying up until eleven doing this thing. Please let me know whether you'd rather do six or nine episodes a night. Problem with nine episodes is that it makes catch-up a real bitch.

Most amazing jew boots

Acer, nice choice of anime! Been long time since I watched Tutu and it's definitely one of the greatest anime ever!

Not Desmond Tutu, for others --'
