I'd be happy to watch any of his though I'd (perhaps controversially) say Mirai is his worst film. Summer Wars, Girl Who Leapt Through Time and his One Piece film are leagues ahead in my view.

We need like simulwatch thread 1 and thread 2, and have them both just having different things each month, then people can join for 1, the other, or both if they are masochists like me Maybe my thread should be the unofficial simulwatch thread 2 for the more random stuff people want to do!
A lot of good suggestions anyway, I need to give Made in Abyss another shot maybe as I don't remember being hugely into it when I saw it, I haven't seen the movie yet.
Stuff like the Hosoda films and Busan could also go there, I couldn't finish Summer Wars (dunno why just found it ridiculous and a little boring) but I at least reached the end of Wolf Children, despite some reservations about the motives of the characters, I at least reached the furry end of it. I have Girl who Leapt through time on my planned to watch list still.

Monogatari simulwatch

There is a version of it where you watch the episodes as they occur throughout a real life year or something!
I love Monogatari but as a simulwatch it might be a little much, unless you were to watch and comment on each arc rather than each episode. I tended to watch that one in batches of arcs.

Haha no way I'd want to do that just 1 episode a day! If it was a binge simulwatch of a storyline a day I'd be in.Monogatari simulwatch

That's actually a really neat idea.
There are simulwatches that I'd perhaps still like to create a separate thread for, like Ergo Proxy, but otherwise, yeah, shall we do that?
I can set up a "General simulwatch thread #1" if you'd like to do the other. How about it?

I think others would agree, seeing as it's not the first time I've seen middling reception to it. I loved those first two, never watched the one piece one and I also loved the Beast one. Good to see he's back in full force with Belle!
Now we just need to wait for Shinkai's next boy meets girl in Tokyo movie
good GOD man, please do something else with that crushing talent of yours
Man, I'm eager to get the final three MVM releases so I can finally get to watching Monogatari. So much has come out since their release or otherwise have good promotions that I haven't had the chance to buy them so far.
Two simulwatch threads sounds pretty cool!

Haha I love every Shinkai film so I'm pretty cool with his way of doing things. I saw him talking (maybe on a special feature on one of his films) where he said what fascinates him is things that put distance in love. That's why all of his works have played with that idea be it space, time, age etcNow we just need to wait for Shinkai's next boy meets girl in Tokyo movie

Yeah the sci fi edge that Voices of a Distant Star and The Place Promised had was something I was very into. Would be delighted if he went back to it in some was.

Sounds good to me
I'll set it up later today, and then we can put a link to the other one in the top post, nice to avoid crossover of what is being watched that way.
I'd like to aim for one thing in a month, whether it's a show, or a film or two, so I'd work on that basis.
I think Ergo Proxy was my idea so I could move it into my schedule if you'd prefer to put something else in yours?
I think, personally, the simplest idea might be to keep the overall simulwatch schedule and suggestions list in this thread, and then I can link to one of the two simulwatch threads that'll host the actual discussion of the series or film. That way, no-one has to check two separate threads to see what's on offer and can easily navigate to where it's being discussed.
How does that sound?

Ended up skipping a few posts TL;DR LOL
But I did see mention of Hosoda and I had thought to suggest we do a season of his films as Belle is due to come to the cinema early next year.

If you do #1 how you like I'll copy the format and run #2

Aha a renegade simulwatch, how scandalous! All for it, so looking forward to Shiki.Alright, I'll make a thread for Shiki today so as not to muddy this one too much and edit/link it back here, then if others want to join in they can
Even if it's just me and you that will be fine, I'll call it unofficial simulwatch as well.
I remember now the other one I was saving for Halloween season was Ghost Hunt! I remember @WMD and some others rating it highly so in case anyone else is interested in that one potentially, if you guys think that that is one that would work for a simulwatch that is.
Yes, very much yes, I haven't seen that yet and will happily join you on that one if no one else (another renegade watch if need be and maybe in the new year?) and maybe we can hijack the original simulwatch thread to add our simulwatch on to?
Aaah, this is the inside info I needed to know about, especially more so if the newer animes have any links to Umineko or even Ciconia (please don't tell me I need to read the latter first as well!). Okay I will shelf plans to watch the newer ones until after I've read all the VNs then.
Cool, I'm happy to do Tokyo Marble chocolate of others would be interested and if you think it would be worthwhile. Also cool with Train to Busan if it can all be streamed on the usual suspects (I get the feeling I'm making my October list unfathomable today....).
It would be perfect for the soon be instated Renegade simulwatch thread and I feel it can definitely be done if broken up over a couple of months or longer if need be. I'll happily join that one!Monogatari simulwatch

Interesting, I feel that he has actually done almost all of that to some extent earlier on in Voices of Distant Star & 5 Centimetres! I really loved WWY especially the rather realistic angle of life will go on regardless of how much human beings mess up the world. But yeah, I would love some more of his trademark style with more adult settings akin to the last story in 5cms. I have enjoyed all of Hosoda's work but not quite as much as other favourites of mine. I guess a bit like Eva, it's very useful to watch his movies in the context of his inspiration for the movies from his own personal life events.
I second that, I think I'm already getting confused between the two current suggestions threads (in fact @Neil.T, I would suggest all discussions, like this here, be on the original simulwatch discussion thread, and your thread be purely to keep that very well organised tally and list you have, with no option to discuss there?). I think as you said the alternative, concurrent simulwatch series for which there is less interest or smaller groups breaking off watching, perhaps would still continue having a new individual thread for each alternative show, eg. an individual Shiki thread by @Lordhippos.
Ah man I'm getting confused now... Okay ignore me...

I've not really heard much against the film... or really any discussion for that matter (aside from whenever it made the usual appearance in the AL sales). I think it's a rather good film that's just not talked about much.
My idea would work like this:
We suggest and discuss ideas for potential simulwatches using this thread, and I add them to the list in the opening post. By using this thread, it's a simple click or a tap of the
near the bottom of the current page to view the schedule and suggestion list in the opening post. A link to the opening post also exist in the signature found at the bottom of any of my posts.Then when we reach a consensus on what to watch when, I'll set up a direct link to the appropriate simulwatch thread that will host the actual discussion of the film or series. Rather than set up a new thread for each new simulwatch, the new idea is to just use one of what will be two rolling threads. I'm not sure how difficult it'll make finding the starting point of each new simulwatch, but if people want to try it...
I still think it might be better to just start a new thread to host each new simulwatch, as we've done up until this point, personally speaking.

I love Ghost Hunt and probably will watch it again around Halloween but tbh I'm not going to watch 1 epsiode a day of it. I'll either binge it or at the very least watch each arc in a sitting. Each case tends to be 3 or 4 episodes. think theres 1 two partner and a single stand alone episode thrown in.
If it was simulwatched I'd just chime in at the end of each case if others were doing just 1 episode a day. But because of the case structure of the show it does lend itself to mini binges
Yeah I agree to be honest. Especially if you miss a few days and are trying to catch up having a shorter thread to go through that's only about 1 show is useful.
