Na plech aka Do the Mæth (2015) (99 min.) -
4 votes (+6=10)
After the immense success of the ZNK series that started as purely amateur films, the sixth installment is now a professionally made movie, which however by some miracle didn't take away from its dark and "offensive" style of humor. In fact fans now praise it as a savior of the now famous, controversial but slightly declining Czech "franchise". The film follows a young, ambitious business graduate full of hopes for a corporate career until he's confronted with the real world... and gets to know the Grunza family, a gypsy clan known in the underground as the best meth producers in the business. - drummyfish
Final film in the ZNK trilogy that we watched the first two of some time ago and were a big hit. I'm excited to see some more of this crazy stuff!
Dragon Half (1993) (2 episodes) -
2 votes (+3=5)
Charming little OVA starring a very cute human-dragon hybrid (read: girl with wings and a tail). She sets off on a quest to become fully human. Full of silly gags and sketches. References old RPGs from the golden age.
Very charming OVA full of chibi/deforume characters 90% of the time. Some of the gifs from it in
this flash haunted me for years until I finally made the effort to find it. Another one of those childhood series for me.
We might watch a second OVA after
Dragon Half depending on my availability and others'. I'll put one of the higher-voted OVAs up for a vote the day of.
HOWEVER, the truth is that
Dragon Half was not technically the most highly-voted anime. It was
Mouse, but that one is about 2 hours in full, so it would be better to watch it on its own. But this gives me a question that I want you all to answer: What should I do with longer anime series that would be better to marathon together like this? I see a few options:
1. We could watch one or two episodes at a time. Deluoode's Otaku Oratory does this, but they also meet once a week, so they can actually finish them in a reasonable time frame. If I host these once a month or so, it's inconceivable. I prefer doing these on a monthly basis as it tends to make them more "special" and makes people more likely to show up. (Heyuri has proven this.) But maybe one "longer-running" series could have an episode or two every week and a larger series/movie once a month?
2. We could watch the whole series at once. For your average 12-13 episode series, this is a marathon but it's not the hardest thing to do. Heyuri does it, and it's reasonable for a "rare" once-a-month thing. That means we would just decide when to do it. I see a few viable options:
1) Just alternate between full-series and movie-and-OVA parties and keep them once a month. I could alternate them intentionally every other CyTube, or I could just go by whatever has the most votes (my slight preference).
2) If the most-voted is a full series, set the NEXT week to be a movie-and-OVA party as "compensation" or bonus. So there would be two a month rather than one (maybe pushing off to the week after next if it overlaps with Heyuri). Also a good option for a show that is 26 episodes or so (2 seasons). The very next day would be a bit soon but is a potential option.
What do you all think? Which of these options sound appealing? I definitely look forward to watching
Mouse in any case. It's probably the show that is most sentimental fap material to me after
Eiken.
