Darker Than Black Viewing Party?

[creative_kiss]

So maybe this is a random and/or inconvenient thought but… do you guys maybe want to watch Darker than Black together? I’m using the term loosely, “together,” but I’ve realized after my billionth time watching it that there are still a lot of things I don’t really understand. And I thought maybe it’d be cool if we could compare notes or something.

That'd be so cool! As you all know, out of all of us, I've watched it the least number of times... Once through in its entirety and random half bits. Never quite make it through a second time... Or I watched specific episodes for research purposes.

I'm hardly watching anything else right now. Just one series that I'm not even actively keeping up with. So in that sense, watching 2-part episodes at a time isn't major. It would definitely refresh my memory since the last completion of the series I did was back in 2009... 2009!

... It's 2013, almost bordering on 2014 and I'm STILL writing for the fandom...! o_O;;

seriously, it will probably give you some insights on things you didn't notice the first time through.

Right, and I've never really got to talk about or discuss it with anyone except when checking facts for Ffnet.
I'm not watching anything right now either, so it's a good time for me. I wasn't sure what everyone else was up to though.

So I was thinking maybe once a week, that way we don't really have to coordinate schedules? Just give everyone a week, or even a few days, to watch two episodes and then we can do a group message on facebook?

I can't believe how long it's been lol!!

Yup, a couple episodes a week would work for me! It's not that much and we can just watch whenever, by a certain date. Then discuss it.

let's do it. I have seen S1 at least 6-8 times all the way through not including multiple eps getting rewatched for factual info... Gaiden & S2 at least 4 times through with multiple ep/scene studies. but let's go 2 eps at a time since they kinda work that way...

BTW ep 26 (the "aside") best fits between eps 14 and 15. just try it. it makes SOOOOO much sense.

I have never watched the series with episode 26 in between 14 and 15, but I don't mind watching it that way this time if everyone else is okay with it.
I liked Gaiden a pinch but haven't watched season 2 more than once because some of it annoyed me. I might feel differently though if I watched now. I've been thinking of buying it so that I could get Gaiden to watch again...

So what about once a week? Just give everyone a week or even a few days to watch two episodes so we don't really have to coordinate schedules, and then do a group message on facebook?

I'm for it!.
The hardest part I think will be to get everyone to watch it at the same time.
We have had these watch-a-longs on some of the G communities and the time-frame never worked out for me.
But perhaps since it's just us, it may work out better.
I usually can do between 9:00 and 11:00 pm Eastern time.

I was thinking just giving everyone a few days to a week to watch two episodes and then do a group message on facebook to talk about it afterward. That way we don't have to try and coordinate schedules since things get busy and schedules change and whatnot. So if that's okay, I think it'd be easier.

That works for me
