The Great Gundam Wing Rewatch!

[nanslice]

The Great Gundam Wing Rewatch will begin on Saturday, May 30th! We'll watch two episodes a week, and then each Saturday a discussion/meta/fangirling/general squeeing post will be made. This gives everyone plenty of time to find a place to watch (and actually find the time to watch). Here's the entire series on Youtube! Feel free to watch either the sub or the dub; as far as I can remember, the dub doesn't change much in terms of storyline or characterization.

I'm sure we all know basic fandom etiquette but I'm adding rules anyway. No character or ship bashing. Feel free to get as hyped as you want about your favorite characters and ships (I KNOW I WILL BE) but character/ship hate will not be tolerated. Affectionate exasperation/teasing/name-calling is okay.

Also, please no spoilers for future episodes unless you use either the Rot13 scrambler or white out text. I'm pretty sure most of us have seen this before but if any newbies join in, I want them to be able to go in as spoiler free as possible.

So! To break it down: two episodes a week! A discussion post each Saturday (posted here because I don't imagine this being too popular!) and the first one will be posted on May 30th. You don't have to subscribe to my journal to participate; everyone is welcome! No character bashing.

I (nanslice) am the mod/organizer/whatever of this little shindig. If you have any questions/comments/inquiries, feel free to comment, pm, or email me at nantimes at gmail dot com. :3

Also, if this inspires any fanwork, definitely share with us if you're comfortable doing so!

Oh man, this'll be great! I've only seen Endless Waltz, so this would be a great opportunity for me to catch up! :D

[hamimi_fk]

I'm down for this! It's been forever since I've seen the GW series and I can definitely handle 2 episodes a week. =3

[inkstone]

OMG, I'm up for this! I don't think I actually ever finished the series!

hi, I hope this is okay

[omnipotent]

Oh yes! This sounds fun! I already started re-watching Gundam Wing but I can watch another Gundam series until May 30.

[nintendoh]

I'M IN! :D So excited for this!

[yoshitsune]

/seal-claps tbh because I've been deep into reading/re-reading GW fanfic, but somehow never get around to rewatching the actual series. This sounds like a great way to do it though!

[shanaqui]

This is very tempting. I never actually saw every episode, and I think I have a box set of the DVDs.

YESSSSSSSS

[redsixwing]

WOOT!

Er, I mean: Hi, I linked in from Kalloway's place and am here to lurk the Gundam discussions!

[ashkitty]

Sounds awesome! I'm totally in. :)

Hi! I don't know if I'll be able to keep up but I want to at least try. It's been some years since I rewatched GW last and it's such an entertaining show.

[dragonscrawl]

Well, Gundam Wing is on my to-watch list. Maybe this will motivate me to actually do so?

[dustbunny105]

Cool! I've been meaning to rewatch this-- I don't even remember anymore if I watched the whole series the first time around-- and this is the perfect opportunity :D

[nonizu]

Oh! I just created an account to be part of this XD (Saw the post on Tumblr). I've been trying to watch the series again but I can't get past the first couple of chapters... and then something in life comes up and I get busy again (fortunately this is just two episodes per week!). I wasn't aware that there were people here from the fandom, I kind of stayed in LJ and then moved to Tumblr O_o... so hi, everyone!!! ^o^/

[schneefink]

I'm really looking forward to this! The first time I watched the whole series, after only reading fic before, I was surprised how good it was. (And how unlike the fic *g*) I watched it very quickly, so looking at the episodes in more detail will be very interesting.

[anaraine]

How exciting! I've only ever watched a few episodes (the manga, short as it was, was more my jam) so this will be a perfect reason to dig out those old discs and actually watch this series.

[taichara]

I've hemmed and hawed, but I think I shall at least try to be in for this one --

Discussion is here on your dw, y/n? Is linking to longer blather alright? I have a habit of writing live-commenting posts as a (re)watch, but that's far too much to put in a comment in someone else's space :3;;
