"Monster" rewatch community?

I was chatting with another LJer who was looking for someone to watch Monster with ([livejournal.com profile] donna_c_punk, btw, is looking for peeps to rewatch new Doctor Who with), and as I've only seen up to episdoe 25 of Monster I said sure. Then I thought... how about a Monster rewatch community?

The principle behind rerun/rewatch/reread communities (as I understand it) is that you post weekly or biweekly (as desired) episode discussions. And anyone who missed the first airing of shows can squee with other new fans, and old fans can rewatch their show a second time from the beginning to get greater perspective on the show. Example: [livejournal.com profile] homicidereruns.

Is anyone interested in a community like this for the Monster anime? I would love to have other people to discuss the show with in a forum where I don't have to worry about spoilers beyond what everyone participating has seen. I've been putting off finishing the last 2/3rds of the anime and I think some good ole' peer discussion would inspire me to finish it.

If people are interested, we can set up the comm and find out how often people want to watch the episodes (1 episode a week? 3 or 4 episodes a week?) and so on.

Comment if you're up for it!

I'd be interested. I've lagged far far far behind on the anime as well.

Actually, I've only seen about the first ten episodes, but it was a year ago, and have been planning on rewatching them soon. I'm in!

Great. We've got a few people interested. Will see, perhaps the next few days.

I'm FINALLY getting caught up with my f-list - I'm slow and behind. I'm so sorry that I missed this post. *is ashamed*

I have one person who wants to watch it with us.

I'm up for as many or as few episodes as anyone would like to watch. It's entirely up to other people.

I will set up the comm if you'd like. Just let me know - I'm flexible.

I have a ton of things to do the rest of today and tomorrow, but I will try to be available on Saturday.

Oh would you? I know it was my idea to make a comm, but honestly I don't need to start another comm. I have too many already. Thank you.

I'm up for several episodes a week because I am job-hunting rigt now and have an excess of free time. I was going to suggest 3 or four episodes a week, though. That's about like watching a movie. Maybe you should poll people and ask-- everyone might want to do more or less.

Done! [livejournal.com profile] monster_renamed

Well, sorta. I'm working on it a bit more today. Links and whatnot still have to be added. Maintainer status for you? Yes? No?

I'm completely unsure of the rules - I suppose we need some because we don't want to have spoilers posted all over the place. That's sort of the whole point to the community, eh?

Anyway, I'll be working on it today off and on.
