As we've had a good run of successful simulwatch threads over the past few months, I thought it would be worth setting up a dedicated spot for people to suggest shows to watch together and agree on a schedule for them.
To get the ball rolling, @Neil.T suggested Dominion Tank Police as a possibility for the next one after Gunbuster and, as a massive fan, I'm completely down for that.
For anyone not familiar, Dominion is a knockabout sci-fi action comedy from Masamune Shirow, he of Ghost in the Shell fame, set in a future where heavily armed criminals run rings around the law enforcement, and an increasingly desperate government creates a new branch of the police equipped with urban tanks. Sounds serious, but it's played primarily for laughs and, as the two manga series were more or less contemporaneous, often feels like an attempt by Shirow to lampoon his own work on Appleseed.
Dominion is split into two series - an initial four part run from 1988 just known as Dominion Tank Police and a later six episode series from 93 released in English as New Dominion - but as the two together only add up to ten half-hour instalments, I'd like to watch both if possible. Regarding availability, the show isn't legally streamable, but has been released on DVD in the UK, and used copies are widely available for not very much money. As are the VHS tapes, if you're so inclined.
As for schedule, I'm thinking one episode a day starting on September 27th (a week tomorrow at time of writing), but I'm open to counter offers if anyone has plans or whatever.
