This shall be the thread to go to when coordinating watch parties of concerts, IVs and anything else people might want to watch together.

In the past, we have used the AJAX Chat as a place to gather the watch party participants. Now, with our own channel in our own irc server, the place to gather is at #AKBar48@irc.jphip.com . When the time comes for the watch party, connect to the channel however you like (be it using your preferred irc client, or simply clicking the IRC Chat tab at the top of the page) and let the fun begin!

To sync the times for everyone and to figure out your timezone compared to anyone else's, a link to the world times.

Alright, given the people who seem to be in for this so far, I'm gonna issue a tentative time: 3:00PM (GMT -5). Post up any problems you may have with this in this thread!

3:00PM (GMT -5).

I always screw up time zones

I'll pop in and out of the chat occasionally to see if anything is happening

Less than 20 minutes until this watch party goes on the road! Get your popcorn ready and head over to #AKBar48@irc.jphip.com, 'cuz we're gonna be enjoying some Team Ogi soon!

So when's the next one?

Melchizadek · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2011, 02:40:32 AM »

That was fun. I'm glad I was actually off today. (Normally I'm at work during that time)

jafeijai · « **Reply #13 on:** February 11, 2011, 06:09:58 AM »

Riding on the success of last week's watch party, I hereby suggest another one!

Majisuka Gakuen Watch Party!
Date: Saturday, February 12th, 2011 (tentative)
Time: 3:00PM GMT -5 (tentative)
Content: Due to time constraints, we'll go with episode 1 - 3 this time. ('cuz each episode is 28 minutes long!)

Any concerns/comments/complaints may be posted here.

Melchizadek · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2011, 07:01:23 AM »

Well, 3pm GMT -5 is exactly the time I'll have to be leaving for work. So, I guess I won't make this one.

Too bad, I had a lot of fun at the last one.

Ehh? More like 28 min?

Anyway, I gotta pass on this one. I recently did a marathon, lol.

Datalanche · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2011, 12:38:33 AM »

Just looked up my files, each episode is 28 minutes and some seconds. As long as it's Saturday or Sunday, no major time constraint for me.

I will be in if possible. Really wanna watch Majisuka again before season 2 drops and this'd be a good excuse to.

Partially the point of this watch party. I've added more tentative watch parties so that we can lead up to the new dramas.

Great party this week folks!

We gotta figure out a standardized system for the transition between episodes in the next one though

IMO a minute or two of pause is good just for sync. Different media players open at different speeds and some of us (read: me

) are playing from DVD's so it may take a sec for them to get spun up.

Even so, fun party. This show is still a fun watch a year later!
