Anime Challenges

I've been browsing some of the groups I'm in and noticing that all the fitness ones have weekly challenges.

Well, anime can have challenges, too! :/ Who's in? Can I throw out the first weekly challenge?


Week Nov. 19 - 25: Watch the first episode of an anime you would NEVER consider watching. Ever. Never ever. Then come back and give a review on the episode.

I know that only one episode won't do a whole series justice, but I feel like I am limiting myself when I decide which anime to watch (despite my list being so huge). Even if they do suck, all anime are beautiful. ;-; They all need a chance.

This week... I'll watch the first episode of Bleach. -_- I know it's a long series, but I have to.

If anyone else feel like shooting a challenge, go ahead. =D

UPDATE

Um.. I kind of what to do this again, but I dunno what to do.

    I wouldn't usually have an issue watching anything I haven't or would not see because I am pretty open to the genres; one being fruits basket and I loved it. Let's try Bartender (TV)

    I can handle this one easy~ I watched Kami no Shizuku! This can't be any worse than that... I'll probably try watching the drama too.

    I think we still have some time, but I still can't get my head around the fact that I might be watching Bleach soon. ._. Oh boy.

    Wow, you've never watched bleach?! Its one if thee best ones! I like this challenge, but since this is a fitness site, I think you should throe in some exercise or.something

    -thinks about it... shakes head- Well, maybe, but I like to watch my anime while... watching my anime. Maybe someone can tweak the challenge? o.o Like if you see a character doing something you can.. >_> That is totally for another challenge.

    If anyone else wants to exercise they can, but I'll most likely be watching Bleach by itself. ._. I have this thing about watch anime that never end: I don't do it. Argh.

    Well I didn't mean exercise.at the same time...just add something, but that's alright.
    Ahh okay, so I'm guessing you don't watch naruto?

    I would recommend reading the manga of Bleach first because it cuts out all of the filler crap that we avid watches dread yet still find a way to stomach. By the way, I love Bleach and Naruto but can't stand One Piece. Naruto does get better further into it so be weary when the fillers glomp you.

    Also, try the series known as Monster; you won't regret it >:) 70 episodes but so worth it and no fillers.........

    I really liked it (love Mamimi!) and the music is great.

    Totally The Pillows all the way for the music...also try their songs Hybrid Rainbow and Last Dinosaur...

    My favorites are Bran-new Lovesong and Beautiful Morning With You. I bought one of the FLCL osts and a completely unrelated cd of The Pillows. :)

    Edit for typo so I'll add a video too~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGi3C0539VI

    Is there anything you've meant to watch but haven't yet? Maybe that could be your challenge.

    I dunno. I wanted to watch "I have no friends" but I can't find episodes anywhere. :D

    When I searched for that I found Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai, not sure if that's the same thing or not. If it is, they have it on animeseason.

    ._. So... I didn't end up watching Bleach as planned. I just couldn't force myself to.

    lol. I just finished watching Death Note 2 days ago. Near, that little boy is so cute playing with his toys while duking it out with an evil mastermind. As for Bleach, I read volume 1 of the manga and couldn't get into it.

    I didn't watch my challenge anime either... I started watching Deadman Wonderland instead. .__.

    I watched Bleach up until episode 160something. I liked it but I didn't bother to keep up with it as the new episodes were released. I think the bad point would probably be filler episodes? I really hated Rukia.

    Something about those shounen fighting type anime is oddly motivating, since they really make me want to exercise so I can become stronger too. Watching Soul Eater really made me want to be able to do one arm push ups...
