I, for being slightly psychotic when I feel like it, shall bring a shotgun and shoot all of ye. No, I would never do that. I think.

INstead of marathoning, you should just watch Rebuild, or do something else you could not do from where you come from. Marathoning it to some place like Japan is just a waste of money.

Not really. If I'm going anyways, I might as well.

Guys, I tried marathoning it again and fell asleep on ep 8.... :hmph:

Next time I'll be able to do it.

Ya'know, I think it's best to marathon with some insomniac, so he can bug ya every time you try to fall asleep.

We should have a marathon ON THE ROOF OF GAINAX HQ! YEAH! lol they would totally sic Sho on us or something.

I think I've done it about 4 or 5 times, including the movies. Always had a blast doing it. I will probably end up doing it again this coming spring break.

I almost marathoned last night.

I've been so busy with projects that NGE is the only thing that's been able to keep me awake through the night, and I watched 4-26 plus EoE (I started at ep4 because the person I was with for most of the day had already seen 1-3 earlier). I wish I'd started from ep1 so I could have truly marathoned. I think I'll do it for real during my next project where I have to do animations. XD

I haven't marathoned it, I might've done 3 DVDs on the trot once - what I think is cool to do is watching the episodes in a random order, so if you watch ep.#15 and then ep.#24 D.C. you notice that Rei and Kaworu are both aware of whenever someone is watching them - there's all kinds of stuff you notice when you watch the series in a random order.

Edit: Thinking about it I did marathon my VHS copy (4 hour tapes recorded off the telly), but I had only seen NGE a couple of times at that point and it was still a fresh experience for me.

Really? Where in #15 does Rei notice people are watching her?

Shinji and Rei in ep.#15:

[code:1]Shinji:
Say, what kind of person is my father?

Rei:
I don't know.

Shinji:
I see.

Rei:
You've been looking at me all afternoon because you wanted to ask me that?[/code:1]

Anyone ever do this? Tomorrow, as sort of a treat to myself for killing myself all week in classes, I'm not getting out of bed and going to watch the entirety of the series and the movies straight through. I've already seen the series, but I think it would be a fun to see what other things you notice in the series seeing it with everything still fresh in your mind.

Any one else ever do this? Thoughts? Tips? Prayers? ;)

there's a thread on this already that I am too lazy to go and find

I have done this twice though, episode 1 to EoE

I don't think it's crazy if you have a lot of free time, I've seen several TV series in such mini-marathons

Merridian · Postby **Merridian** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:37 am

@SleepS: Awesome. I've done that at least twice now, and it's probably the best way to watch it IMO, since the whole structure of the work can be looked at with the shortest amount of time elapsed. But I'd recommend watching Rebuild 1.11 afterward as well, just cuz.

Been there, done that.

I've thought about doing it but never have. I also want to watch all of the LotR Extended Editions in one day eventually. You kinda have to plan for it because it's difficult to spend 12-or-so hours watching TV and conserve the other 4 or 5 for eating, bathroom, and anything else that's necessary.

GasmaskAvenger · Postby **GasmaskAvenger** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:54 am

I kinda did this with episodes 11-26 + EoE, but not the entire series

You know what? I'll think I'll give it a try. Though I'll end up having a huge EVA headache, I can't resist the challenge. I'M IN!

IDontWantNoScrub · Postby **IDontWantNoScrub** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:45 pm

I don't think I could do it. I'd be crawled up in a ball looong before I'll reach the end.

ran1 · Postby **ran1** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 4:01 pm

I've watched Eps 19-26 all in a row, but I doubt I could marathon the earlier episodes, because I would want to do something else while having to sit through eps 10-14

I saw the whole series plus EoE over two days, so that's the closest I ever got.

Pretty much the same case with me when I first saw Eva.
