krill Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 hello fellow fuwans im back from my overly long hell of a vacation at my familys and here to propose a new project i'm starting i hope you take the time to read this and if you're interested in taking part let me know in a comment. fuwa masterpiece theater ok the concept for this is a group viewing of anime and chat . i'll be hosting the stream on my steam with a dedicated chat for everyone who watches to chat with each other during the stream. the choices of anime will be listed in 3 main categories they will be. (classic anime: these are time honored anime series movies and ovas that have left an impact on the otaku fandom you know those shows that whenever someone makes a recommendations list usually appear on the list somewhere. second will be genre defining/redefining titles: which are anime that either helped define or expand in a meaningful way an entire genre of anime, and finally overlooked titles: these are anime that are not as well known or as often spoken of as most series). if this works out and people enjoy it eventually we will have theme viewings such as cherry blossom festival or holiday anime as well. the way this will work is by vote ill put up a list of 3 in each category that i recommend and then 3 will be selected for each category that the group suggests and then there will be a one week voting period so everyone gets the chance to place a vote after a week i will take 1 or 2 days to prepare things and then we will hold the viewing, now if a series or a multipart ova wins the vote then the viewings will take place over multiple days. then after the title is finished another round of voting will take place for the next choice in viewing. if you're interested in joining the fuwa masterpiece theater when you make your comment below feel free to submit your recommendations please limit to one per category and label what category you're recommending it as so that they can be looked through and added up for me to put through the first list.my picks for the first parts of the list: classic maison ikkokudevilmanserial experiments lain genre definingranma 1/2 (ecchi martial art romcom)welcome to the nhk (dark comedy)Otaku no Video (mockumentary) overlookedStrait JacketChocotto SisterComic Partyhope you find the idea fun and that we get some group members.

greenshadow622 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Sounds interesting. Might join in, depending on when it happens. Here's a few recommendations I have. For the classic, I think Akira should be in that list. Although it is a movie, it is a masterpiece. For genre defining, I think Toradora would fit in that list as well. I unfortunately don't have any recommendations to add to the overlooked list, and I can't comment on the ones already there since I've never watched them before. That's just my 2 cents here.

krill Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd like to give this a try--what's the name of the Skype you'll be hosting it on? this will be done through steam as it allows me to stream the shows for everyone and have a dedicated chat for the viewers at the same time with no oversight as to the content i stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krill Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 all good in order to watch the streams you have to change steam settings to the beta update its in the settings tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukiru Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I do this kind of thing with a buddy, we talk through Skypu and coordinate when to reproduce the video, though. Beware of the stream lag. I'm in for this if we watch Lain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalRen Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Great idea! Unfortunately, our anime group is pretty big and we already have a lot of fun handling that with the Oscars and discussion we have every Friday evening, so i will have to pass. Still, awesome idea!

Rose Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah, the biggest issue will be the possible stream lag, but I think that's not going to be that much of a problem. I might join later but I can't currently as I'm not home and my schedule is totally random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If you manage to make fuwans watch old anime or timeless classics I'll hug you across the internet Not sure I'll manage to participate myself though. Maybe I can drop in for some episodes of Maison Ikkoku or Ranma 1/2, those are pretty long anyway. I'll drop my own recommendations: Classic: Princess Tutu Genre-defining: Evangelion (Eva-clone robot anime =p) Overlooked: Gosenzosama Banbanzai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrael Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I second Evangelion even though it's a very 'heavy' show in psychological terms I still need to watch Serial Experiments Lain so I will definitely join in if you guys decide to watch that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkuru Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 This sounds awesome! I won't be joining, but I'd love to drop some recommendations if that's allowed. Overlooked: Hanbun no Tsuki ga Nobura Sora Genre-defining: Now and Then, Here and There Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 This sounds awesome! I won't be joining, but I'd love to drop some recommendations if that's allowed. Oh, you ninja edit'd but I was about to second Aoi Bungaku. Definitely a show worth watching that's not well known. Masterpieces of japanese literature with a great direction and an OVA-quality animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
