Clearly, I'm not most fans.

Same here. I prefer to spread it out and watch an episode or 2 every week to really absorb what I'm watching . As a fan, marathoning seems like a waste of a quality anime.

The only issues with a six week release schedule is how fast the episodes can be dubbed and how long of a break for more licensing is needed.


If it were entirely up to me, I'd like a voyage every other week.

I couldn't agree more. I mean the latest Volume is a crazy 11 episodes?? Like come on!? Its not as if the next few volumes aren't already fully dubbed. I just don't like it being dragged out so far. In fact in this 3 month wait more than 11 episodes were broadcasted weekly in Japan. So at that rate any chance of ever getting closer to the Japanese timeline is impossible.

What are you talking about!?! I marathon each set because i love the show. I don't marathon it by choice, its basically i can't stop watching. I do this with all Anime i truly love and I'm a fan of. The definition of a fan would be someone who wants to watch as much of it as they can.

I couldn't possibly watch two episodes a week and feel as consumed by it as i do watching the whole lot at first chance available.

You might want to look up the definition of a fan. Not to say you aren't a fan as that would be a childish claim to make, But to call someone out on being a fan when they watch more than you do makes no sense at all

I'm not calling anyone out; didn't mean for it to come across that way. But technically, unless you guys are watching the same episodes over and over several times between each release, you aren't watching any MORE than I am

I get the "can't stop" feeling too, but since there's a limited quantity I like to take a bit of time to think about what's going to happen next as opposed to just diving right into it and not having any left. Sure, I'd watch a new one every day if possible but Japan only gets one per week, so eventually we will too. And I feel more comfortable knowing I have a steady supply of things I like as opposed to having a void to fill.

& I'm well aware of the definition of fan; I have all the graphic novels, figures, t-shirts, etc!

EDIT: But I admit this discussion is giving me the urge to marathon the S4V4 I bought yesterday...
