World Record Chase Update

[Mr. Otaku]

I just got the 1st volume of Negima. Now my time is at:
3 days 19 hours 14 minutes
only 8 hours and 46 minutes left until I attempt the world record!

[ant]

Are you recording this? If not then how will you prove this to anyone?

[Tremolo]

Are you recording this? If not then how will you prove this to anyone?

My guess is, he assumed that once he was done the Guinness World Records people would magically turn up at his door.

* Tremolo hopes he's thrown a spanner in the works of Mr. Otaku's horrible, terrible idea >_>

[KiraraKim]

Huh what world record?

[Ninja Realist]

My guess is, he assumed that once he was done the Guinness World Records people would magically turn up at his door.

Nah, it's not a big deal to ask your friends to videotape/record the entire process, the real difficulty is in getting the Guinness Book of World Records to actually care about such a stupid, worthless, record.

[soundchazer]

One has to wonder if the guy is really 22 years old.

[Mana]

Nah, it's not a big deal to ask your friends to videotape/record the entire process

I dunno, a straight, almost 4-days of videotaping would be harsh. You'd also have to have some way of verifying that the tapes were done sequencially, and that there wasn't a significant amount of time between tapes.

[animanic_critic]

Uhh... I think the guys from MTV's Call To Greatness (http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/call_to_greatness/series.jhtml#/ontv/dyn/call_to_greatness/series.jhtml) would love to see Mr. Otaku.

[AlterGenesis-X]

The only thing that can properly describe my thoughts are these dots of silence.

Ugh, I did a focus group for that show. The other girls there were all brainless MTV monkeys.

[The Geomancer]

...and people call ME crazy, geez.

though out of curiousity, exactly why would you want to pull this stunt off?

[NausicaaBoy]

you might want to see an optometrist ...or psychologist after this...

[Two-twenty]

I have come to the conclusion that this is bullshit. Why? Because if he is actually attempting a world record of watching so-and-so amount of hours of anime straight, wouldn't posting on the internet with just over 8 hours to go be considered, I dunno, not watching anime.

Mr. Otaku, everything you've ever posted has been a waste of space and part of me believes you are actually a previously banned member who's just shitting up the forums. Get banned.

[Mr. Otaku]

I just wanted some support. I just want to get the title of movie-watching champion back to the US from Germany. I just want enough people to help me get motovated and help me succeed. Plus, I was never banned.
I guess no one wants to see a fellow otaku pass a record that other say that couldn't be done.

But we're not otaku. If we were, I'm sure we'd be pretty supportive, but Anime Academy is mainly populated by casual anime fans, not obsessional weirdos. The reason I joined this forum was because it was less creepy than most, and with mainly normal, well-adjusted people posting who just happened to like anime and wouldn't dream of branding themselves "otaku". If you want support from actual otaku, this isn't the place I'm afraid.

[Erigion]

I'm pretty sure Guinness won't count anime series as movies...

I wouldn't say "casual" so much as "balanced." Most people here are anything but casual watchers. We get fansubs, obsess over new and/or fringe series, bitch about dubs, and talk about themes/characters/etc. At the same time, we don't let our hobby dominate our lives either.

From the people I've met though, most people here are the well-adjusted, normal people who happen to like anime, though.

[Linuts]

Mr.Otaku

How about trying a record that people can awe over for more than 1.5 milliseconds? In all seriousness, nobody has attempted this record-breaking feat because the record itself is a big waste of time. If you really feel the need to express your obssession over anime, how about doing something that does not involve seating on your a$$ all day? Make the best damn cosplay costume ever, or host the longest running panel in an anime con, anything! Give the world the impression that anime fandom can lead to interesting things rather than creating more zombies in front of the TV.

The fact that you think anyone here would actually support you with this is almost an insult to us and the entire anime fanbase.

Not to mention, if you really are 22, I highly recommend you to rethink your priorities.

[animanic_critic]

The only thing I fear for Mr. Otaku is when reality takes a hike and anime becomes a hallucinative drug for him; abusing it merely to escape his sh*tty reality. It'll be a sad case if that were to ever happen.

One word of advice (I believe I said this before): Never, ever let anime take over your own life. Anime is part of life, not life itself.

[kobi666]

JESUS!!!!!!
you guys are so ****ing heavy!!!
thay have a wor d for you people in morocan, but i forgot it... something like "mjaycha" ! what the ****'s up with you?
first of all, if the guy is 22 and he has time to watch anime as a serious hobbie
its cool, it means he has enough money and spare time to do so... i think anyone who feels a little hungry would just say "hey cute character, i'm gonna work cuz my belly kinda hurts..."
it seems to me that you see people who say their otakus or anything as
super nerds who sit in front of their tv/screen and watch anime while drooling and jurking off to cute characters!
jeez!
and second of all
so what if it's the worst scenario possible and this guy's obsessed with anime over his head!
what buissnes is it to you? saying "go see help" or stuff like that
how often do you see a shrink or someone to tell you that giving so much criticism is bad for you? espcially tremolo!

[NausicaaBoy]

were not casual watchers... we are people who are extremely excited over a certain genre. We love anime. But we also love many other things. And we all have things far more important to us.

for example:
Me = track and field / rock climbing
Roark = mana
animanic_Critic = escaping military service

haha jp...but really anyway im not here to criticize MR otaku....if he truly is/ did do this ...umm...stunt..well then good for him. We all need to do something tottally random occasionaly...let him have his fun.

[kobi666]

i think i see something I have problem in this type of a forum, which is something that has been bugging me for a while

you mostly see the anime-watching part in this section, which is entirely made for talking about anime, and then people look at the threads not thinking about the reason ofr this section. for example why doesn't anyone post a thread about "yesterday i lost my virginity" or something of the sort?
people are here to talk about anime
i'm very sorry to say this and take abuse of mr.otaku's thread, i know it's very contridictive but people! the thread starter wanted to talk about something, for this example, an anime watching marathon.
i didn't hear anything like 'hey guys is doing a marathon a mental disorder?'
if you don't really have anything to say about it just shut up and don't say anyhting! you WILL be smarter doing that, all though i know it's very hard for your ego's to skip this opprotunity to show how normal and great you are...
mjaicha

[NausicaaBoy]

excellent use of the english language mate

anyway I see no post on here where a person is trying to say "how great they are".

Okay just chill. I don't know about the others, but as for me, I won't condemn Mr. Otaku's efforts for the record anime marathon. If he really wishes to do so, then by all means go ahead, but it's just that otakus can be very worrisome. There are some people who sees anime as a form of unhealthy escapism (sound familiar?), and I hope Mr. Otaku isn't such a case. He did say before that he's under social security and no jobless, which worries me. That's all.

[Javer]

Was this one of those rightful and necessary truths, Realist? v

Mr. Otaku, everything you've ever posted has been a waste of space and part of me believes you are actually a previously banned member who's just shitting up the forums. Get banned.

[kobi666]

sorry for not knowing bits of info... but i'm talking about criticizing someone's lifestyle... i know it close-n-prsonal... not very fun. if someone is unstable or under the influance of something he may start to think that something's wrong with him, and i don't think anyone can really know what's really going on in someone's life from forum msgs other then the way we precive what he wrote and how he wrote it, which is a very narrow way of looking at someone if you don't have any psychological/psycheyatric expirience
i think
oh and realist, it's YOUR truth you'r telling him, unless you are some sort of god i dont think you have a right to say something like "i know better"


and now for something rather relevent to the thread:

dude go for it!!! breaking a record or making a record is awsome!!!!
let us know how far youve gone!!!

[jetfire]

Are you recording this? If not then how will you prove this to anyone?

Duh! Because he posted it. We have his word.

Seriously though, nobody's going to care how much anime he's watched. In fact, I think it would make people lose more respect for him than actually gaining respect for him. I just believe that it's a big waste of time to devote that much time to something that could be spread out a bit more. For example, I absolutely love videogames, but I don't play for a week straight. Otherwise, it gets dull. Very dull.

And what is the previous world record for watching anime? How can you just decide one and go for it? I could have set one for 2 hours a long time ago and won.

Mr. Otaku, how about telling us what all of the anime titles are that you've watched? At least let us know if it's good or bad anime.

[Two-twenty]

Perhaps you didn't understand my post, so I'll make it clearer for you. If you are trying to set/break a world record for an anime marathon, by leaving the TV and posting on the internet you are no longer watching anime and have failed to break/set a non-stop marathon.

If you want support here's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v486/Twotwenty/fail.png) your support. Ass.

[animanic_critic]

And Mr. Otaku, how about telling us what all of the anime titles are that you've watched? At least let us know if it's good or bad anime.
Pertaining from his first post in a previous thread:
I need help in setting a world record for longest anime marathon.
I am at 3 days 16 hours and 49 minutes.
I have:
Ai Yori Aoshi 1-2
Azumanga Daioh 1
Chobits 1-4
Excel saga 1
Puni Puni Poemy
. hack/Legend of the Twilight Bracelet 1
Ikki Tousen complete
Happy Lesson 1
Po Po Tan complete
Tenjo Tenge 1
Sailor Moon S 1
Full Metal Panic 1-4
Real Bout High school complete
Love Hina complete

I'm not sure whether the list still stands as of today. That's for Mr. Otaku to clarify.

[kobi666]

i think everything is good (all though i see video games as a waste of time, those that aren't fighting games anyway...) if its spread through your life
if everything is on the level and not to self-incarnating then its ok
if i would meet someone i bealive can use heroin without getting so much into it i wouldn't think of it as a bad thing for him (all though that's quite impossible...)
WOW!
he'l probably return the msg in about 2 days saying weird stuff cuz of all the anime. wow, what a blow to the brain... like funny japanese class 101010101... it might even be an enlighting expirience.... he could become an anime dali-lamah!

Looks like Mr.Otaku has at least one fan, now I don't have to feel so sorry for him!

[Kuzu Ryu Sen]

No one garners enlightenment through Ikkitousen and Love Hina. At best, he'll wind up with burning genitalia and a sore right hand.

[NausicaaBoy]

hmmm am I the only one who feels awkward discussing someone lifestyle/ situation when he can read all of our posts? Really whats the big deal is claims to be attempting to set a marathon record - let him be.

there is no need for anyone to get so upset over a simple thread on the forum.

Really - two-twenty while I hesitate to tell you your place; your comments thus far in the thread have been nothing of value to anyone and are blatant disrespect for the forum and Mr. Otaku.

anyway I think everyone needs to take a serious break from this thread and collect themselves and their thoughts


Mr Otaku: I hope your attempt went well - even if it was un-official : however; please dont do this too often or I will begin to worry

P

[kobi666]

Puni Puni Poemy
Hanaukyo Maid Team Vol. 1-3
Tenchi Muyo Vol. 1
Real Bout High School Vol. 1-4

[Roark]

Why not just watch all of Ranma, followed by all of Urusei Yatsura, followed by all of Doraemon, followed by every Lupin TV series, film, and OAV, and then finish off with Galaxy Express 999, Battleship Yamato, and the entirety of Dragonball/Z/GT?

[Tyrdium]

Nah, needs Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

[soundchazer]

Forgot Maison Ikkoku, Touch, Yawara, and Candy Candy. THose 4 series alone give you over 400 episodes worth of good anime.

[Roark]

Consider them added. We'll kill this boy, yet.

EDIT: Oh yes, and may as well put all of Sailor Moon and Slayers on top of that. As well as Kodocha and Marmalade Boy.

I was also wondering the same thing as Roark, I seem to remember that this record was also trying for the most titles seen, am I correct? Still, it seems like a waste to spend all that time and not watch the entirety of great series like Azumanga Daioh, .hack/Twilight, and only watching vols. 1-4 of Full Metal Panic??

I give you kodos simply because I would go crazy from incompletion anxiety. Course it has its plus side I suppose, I don't think I could watch the entirety of too many of those without falling asleep.

Are we starting an unofficial anime wellfare/netflix program? I would gladly mail the completion of most of those series if I thought I would get them back without bite marks (at hour 179, you may not be able to distinguish friend from foe. Keep a pizza near at hand at all times!)

[Milkymagic]

I second Legend of the Galactic Heroes! Watch every Gundam series (especially the tv shows) for added enjoyment, and don't forget Nadia and Macross for bonus minutes! Might want to pad that record down for good measure!

Boy, Mr. Otaku sure has some time to kill...lol!

Well, in that case:

Right Stuf's bargain bin (http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/fFs6fe8=TpCmZnNnsr/browse/category/4/619/0) gives out some cheap anime in the process, they need people like you to help them closeout some of their items. I know I've bought enough Media Blasters DVDs to help them clean house a bit. There's also cheap Evangelion and Orphen as other examples, so it all isn't obscure or anything...

Let's not forget the fall sale at Anime Corner (www.animecornerstore.com (http://www.animecornerstore.com/specials1.html))
along with their other great deals.

While I'm at it, how about Animenation? They have Red Hot Deals (http://www.animenation.com/red-hot-deals.html)!

Hope that helps, along with Right Stuf's Geneon Sale that's been happening as of late.

And the worst.

Mouse? Psychic Academy? Why do you do this to yourself?! For god's sake man, buy some titles out of Bandai's Anime Legends collection - some very good series in their entirety for very little money. And there are ADV's uber-cheap thinpaks, too, not to mention this TRSI sale. I just don't understand why you keep buying such terrible anime and in such little quantities as well. Watching first volumes is going to do no good at all.

Of course, there's the reason to be considered that you watch anime for very different reasons than I do. Lots of ecchi, tits, arse and panty-shots and shounen harem romance that you can fantasize about. That fact that these series have no particular redeeming features or any real artistic merit outside these factors is neither here nor there, obviously.

[Milkymagic]

Ouch! Easy Temolo! No need to start busting some balls, I mean...

Sure I wouldn't stack any of those series next to The Wings of Honneamise, Gunbuster, Angel's Egg, Only Yesterday, GotF, or even Patlabor. But I still liked Love Hina, Mahoromatic (primarily the first season however), Excel Saga, and Azumanga Daioh (which gets some insane love from AA). Of course, if you were just referring to Mouse and Psychic Academy, then I have no comment (since I haven't seen either).

Still, even I let the MD Geist fanboy have his fun, though I do comment on how I liked Geist's armor when they ask me. And as far as partial series purchases, it would torture me too, but he might get provoked to finish a few. Let's hope so! And sometimes in between some intelligent series, I need something fluffy or violent to break the ice, just for the record.

But in the same token, I agree with your recommendatoins, Bandai's Legends lineup is nice: I enjoyed shows like Zeta Gundam and Saber Marionette in the past. However, I'm not huge on, say, Please Teacher. ADV Thinpacs rule: loved Evangelion Platinum, Najica, Dirty Pair, Kino's Journey...and the list goes on. TSRI definitely keeps up the sales all year, by giving us new deals every now and again, so they're always worth checking out.

Too bad Animeigo's Summer of Savings was missed by Mr. Otaku, I know I was fortunate enough to cash in on those mad savings...

That's all I have to say

[Tremolo]

Of course, if you were just referring to Mouse and Psychic Academy, then I have no comment (since I haven't seen either).

Oh, don't worry I was. And Ikki Tousen. And Negima. And Real Bout High School. And Hanaukyo Maid Team. Terrible, terrible anime.

I'm sure we all do, but certainly not to the sheer levels of crapola like that. It just saddens me that people watch anime for fanservice reasons rather than story, visuals or character. Obviously the quality of the anime aside, watching full series is far more effective than single volumes of incomplete series. Nowadays with cheap collections, affordability isn't really such a problem and buying single volumes of bollocks seems to me like Mr. Otaku's purposefully avoiding this issue when he should be snapping up cheap complete collections.

Exactly. Though when it comes to Bandai's Anime Legends stuff, there's also s-CRY-ed, Infinite Ryvius, Gundam Wing, G Gundam, The 08th MS Team, 0083 Stardust Memory, Outlaw Star, Wolf's Rain... all series varying from pretty good/average to greet.

I'd figure it'd be far more worthwhile attempting some anime-watching world record on something with a bit more substance. But then again it pretty much all comes down to the fact (at least for me anyway) that I'd hate to think of the person to go down in history for watching the most anime in a row got there with Mouse and Ikki Tousen. >_>

[Milkymagic]

lol! Well, I see your point, it does seem a bit hilarious how many fanservice laden shows there are up there. I watch anime for the story and characters primarily myself, so I undertand that. Plus, I've been capitalizing on those cheap thinpacs and collections as of late. It was anime like Macross, Evangelion, Gunbuster, Ghibli stuff, and a few other obscure favorites that got me into the fold in the first place. So in the same token, I understand the quality of integrity that goes into many excellent series/features within the realm of anime, along with notable staff members.

And I suppose, given all the sales as of late, single volumes could be a thing of the past...

But imagine watching tons of artsy anime, or highly sophisticated anime, and then getting a headache from all that stuff you have to think about. Maybe fanservice anime is the way to go, since it doesn't require any thought to watch, y'know?

lol! Ok, that's enough!

[NausicaaBoy]

Psychic Academy Vol. 1

pffft lol I love all the good stuff and sometime I even love the bad

lol I own both volumes of psychic academy haha
its easy to watch and I know its not high quality but w.e. if he wants to watch it I say GO FOR IT! haha itll give your mind a serious break lol

haha and good luck to you mr otaku thats all we could handle in our last marathon lol and we didnt conquer it all

i think PA is in there somewhere lol

[Erigion]

Have you even contacted Guinness World Records about your attempt? Because if you're serious about this then that's the first thing you should have done before acquiring all these DVDs.

I seriously doubt they're going to create the "Longest random scattering of anime watching session" category just for you.

[Akuhei]

I'm going to marathon the entire monster anime, and then read the whole manga.

[Mei]

See, I've done marathons of whole anime series, because they were damn so addictive, or because I wanted to watch something good with a friend so we made a night/24 hour session of it. But watching a huge amount of first couple of eps from rubbish or obsecure anime, and claiming it an achievement of some kind...?

I'm not going to flame any further, but just had to go LOL at this whole thread. Baka.

[Milkymagic]

I think after 10 hours my head starts to explode, but I've hardcored a few anime, like Evangelion for instance (including the movies). Interesting to see mixed feedback for Psychic Academy, but like I said, everyone has their tastes.

I'm thinking Mr. Otaku wants to create a new record subject altogether for the Guiness book. In which case, I don't think that's certain...
