Anime: Baccano! (next: ep1)
Date: Saturday, September 4, at 7:00 PM Pacific

There seems to be plenty of interest in this series, and I've had it on my plan to watch list for a while as well, so Baccano it is. If you're in the US, you can find legal, subbed streams of it on Hulu and also through Funimation's site or ANN. If you're not in the US and can't find an alternative, PM me or catch me in chat.
By the way, please try to make sure your videos are working and that you're ready to start at 7:00. (The chat room usually opens a little before that for people to gather and set up.) I don't want to make things feel rushed, but always waiting around for fifteen minutes because no one bothered to find streams or whatever until they showed up got really old. If you need help with something, please ask me in chat before the start time.
Edit:
Bumping to remind people that this happens tomorrow. And don't worry, I won't be spamming your backroom with bumps every week. I'm only doing it this time because AC just restarted and I needed to post earlier in the week to give people time to find the episodes.
Edit 2:
We watched Baccano ep1-5, so we'll be starting from ep6 next week for anyone who wants to catch up and join in.
Anime: Yurumates (OAV)

Since this is super short notice, I don't want to start on a full series this week. But, I figured it couldn't hurt to get together with whoever can make it to watch this weird, little OAV and decide what series to start next week.
It looks like it should be easy to find streaming sites for it, and I also know a place to get it via DDL. Holler at me in chat or PM me if you have trouble finding it.
Right, so after having fun watching a few anime together with people in chat recently, I decided it was time to try and revive this thing.
The day of the week and time is still up in the air, though I'd prefer to keep the old Saturdays at 7:00 - 9:00 PM Pacific time slot. It's usually not feasible for me to start earlier, and also, Friday and Tuesday nights are unavailable for me. Sundays, likewise, are taken by Movie Sign. Please comment with times you'd be free if you'd like to participate.
As for what anime we'd watch, I have a few ideas, but that's not set in stone yet either. Feel free to post recommendations.
However, I do want to go back to watching only one anime at a time. I think having series drag on for two or three months ended up hurting interest more than having multiple shows simultaneously helped.
Preferably, I'd like to watch somewhere between four and six episodes per meeting so that we can get through a single season show in only two or three weeks. I'd also like to make the schedule more flexible, so that we can watch more episodes on nights when people have plenty of time and watch less if everyone needs to head out early or if a lot of people couldn't make it that week. Hopefully, this will reduce the amount of catching up people need to do on their own and keep interest from dropping off.
Let me know what you think.
