I'll try to make up for the lack of posts, but I won't be liveposting!

Is there some sort of IRC or chat you guys use, or is it all liveposting?

I do suppose that a livechat with/without a video stream would be nice to have.

Grouchio posted:I do suppose that a livechat with/without a video stream would be nice to have. Now will Patlabor be airing at the exact same time as Monogatari, so that we would have to choose between one and the other? Should there be separate chats in that case? the schedule is in the third post. we watch gatari on monday and wednesday, and patlabor on friday. a stream or livechat would be nice if somebody wants to set that up, though the former probably isn't super kosher.

If you want to make a chatroom, then discord or irc are good options, however it is better to post reactions, in 4 hours and 35 mins, in this thread

I feel like a chatroom would defeat the purpose of having a simulwatch with livewatching, which is for people to livepost the livewatching in the simul thread.

Some things are fun to watch in a group like that, but I posit that -monogatari is not one what with how much attention it demands.

you often get like 4 lines of text that appear for 2 seconds, get your pause button ready if you're not a fast reader

its not that important, its often more background information or what characters are thinking so if you're not up for it, it can be skipped. it does however obviously add to the full experience

I've watched all of -gatari and I don't think I've ever paused for that text outside of like when I first saw the pilot. I just try to read it before it goes away which works like half the time.

I've never bothered to pause it, though it's interesting if you feel inclined to. Basically, don't worry about it too much if you're coming into it fresh.

I'm pretty sure the small text is just narration from the books

I've always felt the intention is to absorb bits and pieces of it. Just watching normally you'll catch sentence fragments and bits of thoughts and it ends up working pretty well imo

Unfortunately I won't be able to join the livewatch as circumstances have changed since we decided to make this simul. Instead i chose to watch the episodes in advance and will post my thoughts tomorrow afternoon (my time).

I wouldn't bother pausing for all the text-cards, because the series will take twice as long if you try to read all of that stuff and at that point you might as well just read the source material that it's quoting. I've turned off the lights and opened a beer. Lets watch this absurd show.

Having recently watched the first 8 episodes, I shall nonetheless enjoy this thread immensely even before the rest have caught up.
