:toxx:
Autotoxxing is back. Setting yourself a resolution means you finish it on penalty of a ban + 7
:toxx:


2022 approaches and with it comes the time to set ourselves more challenges where we overpromise and underachieve. Will this be the year where i actually finish something?

As ever the rules are simple, post your resolutions, achieve them by Jan 1st 2023. Failure means death.

I'm also bringing back the reward system, whoever achieves the most in the year will receive either a forums upgrade or a £10 donation to the charity of their choice.

Lunar detritus: I will watch at least one (1) seasonal anime that is not a sequel or adaptation to something I've already read.
Julias: Watch all of the monogatari series.
Everything burrito: watch 5 shows from the backlog
Plutonis: watch at least 10 non UC gundams.
Ibblebibble: finish the gundamwatch
Paper lion: watch all the shows people tell him to
Patware: watch some selected anims
Sakurazuka: watch an episode of anime
Gorfzaplan: watch an episode of anime (complete)
Baal: Catch upon the one piece manga
Tales of woe: watch some gundam series this year
Tulalip Tulips: watch some gundam series this year
Zepia: 1. Watch Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club and Love Live! Superstar!!
2. Watch Uma Musume S1 and S2
3. Watch Zombieland Saga S1 and S2
4. Watch Symphogear AXZ and VX and listen to all the character songs that I missed out on
5. Watch Arcane (this counts as an anime)
6. Watch BanG Dream! S3 and the two Roselia movies
7. Watch at least 1 seasonal anime every season
8. Get a freelance gig as a webtoon translator and translate some Korean webtoons
9. Beat at least one of the following games in my backlog (Yakuza Kiwami, Tales of Vesperia, Disgaea 5, Zero Time Dilemma, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond)
10. Beat Ring Fit Adventure on Story Mode

My resolutions:
1. As above, make my life at the end of the year easier by compiling the resolutions
2. Watch 24 things from my extensive collection of anime DVDs that i keep buying and never watching.
3. Watch 2 seasonal anime per season
4. Play and finish a minimum of 2 visual novels.
5. I now have mod permission, so i must simulwatch the monogatari series up until (at minimum) the end of nekomonogatari (black). This is a bad idea

I will watch at least one (1) seasonal anime that is not a sequel or adaptation to something I've already read. It's more than what I did in 2021 so it should count as a challenge.

For the actual :toxx:, I want to watch all of the monogatari series this year. (No, katanagatari doesn't count).

In addition, though I'm not toxxing on this part, I'm carrying over the list of monthly anime from last year and trying to complete those too, though I reserve the right to stop watching any show that I'm really not enjoying.

Jan: Level E - AlternateNu
Feb: Tada Never Falls In Love - Paper Lion
Mar:Tsuritama - Tales if Woe
Apr: Cross Ange - Namtab
May: Ping Pong the Animation - thetoughestbean
Jun: Paranoia Agent - chiasaur11
Jul: Skull face bookseller Honda san - CrazySalamander
Aug: Hoozuki no Reitetsu - EverythingBurrito
Sep: Prétear - Tulalip Tulips
Oct:Tokumu Sentai Shinesman - GorfZaplen
Nov: Flag - Davincie
Dec: Princess Tutu - Julias

I Failed At Anime 2022
I've been thinking about how I can adjust my toxx to be more flexible about working around things like "my internet barely works" and "my anime-watching mood is extremely fickle" but still continue to pare down my gigantic backlog which is what I want this to motivate me to do.

So rather than picking out specific shows I'm just gonna set a numerical goal of finishing 5 shows out of my backlog. I'll list the shows I finish here once I've got some done.

Backlog Shows Completed
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

I was pretty successful at the other half of my 2021 non-toxx which was to watch recent seasonal shows from 2020/2021 to completion in order to stop the backlog from growing even larger so I want to keep that momentum up. It doesn't have a number on it because I have no idea what I'll end up liking and watching through the year :shrug:

2021/2022 Shows Completed
Epic of Divinity Light (2021)
Legend of Exorcism S2 (2021)
Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire (2021)

That's a lot of Gundam. Are you including SD and Build, or just the "regular" Gundam shows? Also, do the shorter shows count as full entries?

Looking at the main shows, you've got:

G Gundam
Gundam Wing
Gundam X
Turn A Gundam
Gundam SEED
Gundam SEED Destiny
00 Gundam
Gundam AGE
Reconguista in G
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans

For OVAs and shorts, you add in:

Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Gundam SEED Destiny: Stargazer
Gundam AGE: Memories of Eden
Gundam Reconguista in G: From the Past to the Future

As for Build:
Gundam Build Fighters
Gundam Build Fighters: GM's Counterattack
Gundam Build Fighters: Battlogue
Gundam Build Fighters Try
Gundam Build Divers
Gundam Build Divers: Re:Rise
Gundam Build Divers Battlogue
Gundam Breaker Battlogue

Also there's some miscellaneous shorts, EVOLVE episodes, DVD extras, and the like. That's a thing.

Finally, there's the SDs which... there's a lot of them. And they tend to range from mediocre to outright terrible. Even compared to how bad standard Gundam can be. I can get a list there, too, but it's going to get even messier, and have more UC stuff, so I might not recommend it.

it was very fun last year to watch whatever stuff people wanted me to watch. even gundam seed!!! so i will do the same challenge again. if you are someone posting a toxx in this thread, you are entitled to make me watch an anime show or movie of your choice. if you try to be stinky and make me watch gintama or detective conan or something that has run for eons then i will ignore it, or if its something i watched too recently like in the last challenge or something. to paraphrase from garth brooks talking about posting online: "when i think about things i wanna watch, i wanna watch cool stuff, slick stuff, neat stuff."

so come toxx in this thread so you can make me watch something and have fun watchin anime and postin with pals!!! you can do it!!!

current list:

Gosenzo-sama banbanzai

gaogaigar is a goat toy commercial because they finish shilling the toys within the first ~24 episodes and use the back half to tell an actual story with cool robots. its the reason i started to really love anime again as a kid after evangelion burned me. check it out!

3. Get an avatar in these dying SomethingAwful forums, I miss having an avatar
4. Buy that WaniKani thing and learn like 1 kanji a month
5. Post Rude by MAGIC! at the new mod

Anyways I look forward to being banned.
