I do, but I’m in despair that two days without any marathons, though I did fill the time with warming and enjoyable things. I’ll write it off as the weekend ^___^

SZS+ZSZS D: Whooaaaaa, I think that’d be one hell of a tough thing to accomplish, because after 4 episodes its like, geeee… haha. Enjoyable, but repetition of the style gets flat.

100 is pretty solid, depends on the series for me, lately my Toradora avg has been creeping towards 150, but that’s very high. Usually (for most series) its less than 50/episode after I delete some. Surprisingly, marathons make me take less shots than if I were doing weekly viewing, dunno what that’s about.

All in due time natuneko I hope this is a good week for batch viewing.

Wow Ryan, at least you get stuff done during your marathons! I’d need at least a couple of days between each series…

Wolf and Spice, yeah, I can relate to that, though I got stalled after the sixth episode. Plot didn’t seem to go anywhere, so yah. A wolf is fine too~

I was three times short of starting a SZS+ZSZS marathon, but I really never could motivate myself to face the thousands of signs that I knew were awaiting me… pause, resume, pause, resume… brr *shudders*

3000 images? Heck, I already take 100-ish snapshots an ep, times 13 (or 26), times number of series… gawd. Need to disable capture button for a couple of weeks I suppose. ~.~

Yes, Okawari is special to me, as I tend to fall right into the setting and feel a good attachment to it; one of those “awe, I wish it was real”. It’s also interesting to see a mainly comedy series do slice-of-life, which are fun to smile about, but feel like they have depth, though it may not be the case.

Well, Shigofumi was a bit drastic and sad in the beginning episodes but it fades into a solid story with a couple strong sections.

And ya, 3000 screenshots is way too many, but it’s not like I take extra time to snapshot, it’s intravenous, though removing bad ones sucks because it takes going through them. My total library of snapshots for 2008 is probably between 20 and 30 thousand.

Awesome, you like Okawari too! I just think it got a lot of hate ’cause it wasn’t like the first season, but I guess expectations can be immutable. After I noticed it wasn’t gonna be like the first I just threw away expectations. That boku-megane guy was annoying as hell but he was a good proxy for Chiaki characterization. Also, the last few episodes are gold IMO.

Why did I drop Toshokan Sensou? - you’ll also love the DVD special!

Why did I drop Natsume Yuujin-chou? Bleaurgh.

The first episode of Shigofumi had me snoring. I guess I have yet to see this magical boku^2 action you speak of. Horie Yui got me hooked.

3000 screenshots? damn. I have my own archival system that ranges in the 3000’s…for like <100 series though lol.
