Wonder what I'll go for. :hehee

I'm picking Umineko. T'is a fine time for it to be AotM, it's about to enter what I think is the game's seminal arc, so it should be interesting to see animated. Expect childhood dreams brought to life in a fascinatingly morbid way, gritty dug up past tales, a rather abrupt ending, horribly twisted fantastical creatures, and of course, nobody being who they appear to be. I assure you all, it'll be some ride.

Now that Episode 2 of Seacats is over, was there really any doubt?

[Altron]

Fuck Needless better win :pek , my vote goes for Needless :gar

[Animeblue]

Umineko no Naku Koro ni or Needless would do, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was kinda disappoint

[Mider T]

I think Tokyo should win due to this week's episode, but it's obviously not. No matter if Umineko is crap, it still has it's fans from the previous series behind it.

[IchiTenshou]

Umineko no Naku Koro ni uuuuuUU~~~~~

[Kira Yamato]

I'm currently seeing that all is right within the world :ohpek

[Ema Skye]

It's all for da lulz. :awesome

[ZexionAxel]

even though i like tokyo magnitude,i had to vote for needless :awesome.

[Red]

I voted for NEEDLESS not the pile of shit Umineko. I mean really that shit umineko is just witches and whores, no artistic value and I only watch deep anime for deep and mature people such as myself.

[Denizen]

I don't actually watch Umineko at all, but I support its discussion over Needless, which is just tits and explosions regardless of how awesome it may be. Umineko has pretentious pseudo-intelligence for people to orgasm over.

Goddamit, Tokyo Magnitude should have taken last month. That would have been SO good with all the speculation about Yuuki. I can't vote for it now, though ;__;

[Ange-Beatrice]

Voted for Umineko! WHD!

[SolidBoss]

im for umineko but whats with the angry face in Tokyo Magnitude? the anime is my second choice!

[TadloS]

Did I need to say? :LOS

1) Its ending next week.
2) I doubt it would be active. Though, I don't think it would be less discussable than Canaan/Michiko to Hatchin.

:zaru

How much of it have you actually watched?

[Demon_Soichiro]

Umineko stomped,announced it as the anime of the month already :kaga

[RetroElectro]

My set is currently enticing anyone who hasn't yet voted to vote for Umineko.

[Diarrhea]

^God, just look at Battler's stupid facial expression. :awesome

[RetroElectro]

His incompetence even shows up on his face.

:hoho

[Diarrhea]

The last episode will have premiered a mere two days after the sub forum opens up. What are we going to do with the nearly 4 weeks worth of time when the series is already over?

i see your point :zaru

Something tells me the finale will be one that will make you think, judging by the tone of the story and the penultimate episode.

Not over a page (~20 threads) worth.

[reaperunique]

obvious troll is obvious :awesome

[Sparky Marky]

im lookin forward to umineko as AOTM, but i have a request for all the people that will be involved... can we make sure anime discussion and VN discussion is kept very VERY separate? ive stopped visiting the umineko thread because there is very little anime discussion that goes on there, it seems to be 95% VN.

It'll be easy to keep the episode discussion threads about the episode but people still like to comment on how things were changed or cut from the visual novel. But those aren't spoilers, so they shouldn't be a problem. As for the main Umineko thread. All discussions about later events are in spoiler tags. As long as you don't open any spoiler tags (especially unmarked ones. Those are most dangerous) then you should be fine. The reason why it's mostly VN talk is because VN readers are mostly the ones posting. Anime only watchers should post more. It's good to be scared of spoilers but I think the thread does a good job keeping spoilers in tags. A lot better than some other threads.

i agree most of the spoilers are tagged but since its mostly VN readers posting in the main thread there isnt much that an anime only watcher can talk about and occasional spoilers slip through into some of the untagged posts :(

i did try reading the visual novel but got annoyed with the repetitive music and having to clip the mouse after every 10 words that popped up on the screen :notrust

[Mattaru]

Umineko fosho, I've got lots to talk about :iria

[Ema Skye]

My set is currently enticing anyone who hasn't yet voted to vote for Umineko.

Damn I wanted to have a set like that :<

[HEATAQUA]

I voted for Needless because it's awesome :D

[Eldritch]

so uh

why is AOTM half way through the month again

[Kira Yamato]

so uh

why is AOTM half way through the month again

Because Canaan doesn't deserve more than 30 days and rather than filling the area with empty space, the next AotM title will start.

[Taxman]

lol CJ

AotM has been starting/ending half way through months to account for new season scheduling...or something like that.
