Hi everyone! So I previously set-up a poll to interest check watching Charlotte, and all 17 voters unanimously decided on watching it together every Friday night. Since discourse has an iffy thing with polls, I can no longer edit the original topic, so I am making this topic to set-up things~
Schedule
Based on experience with running events and whatnot, I’ve decided on a tentative schedule, being:
Every Friday 19:00 (7 PM) CST; Friday 24:00 UTC; Saturday 9:00 (9 AM) JST
Those all refer to the same time but in different timezones, by the way
If there are people who can’t make it at those times but would like to join, then by all means, post in this topic with a preferred time!
The first schedule will be on Friday, July 10, 2015 and we shall continue every Friday afterwards.
This will be a join-as-you-can event, btw, so feel free to join in when you can, or skip it when you can’t. No pressure~
Voice Chat
I’ve decided that we’ll be better off just using Skype for this. Mumble is great and all, but it takes a good 30 minutes to get everything set-up, which doesn’t really bode well for an easily accessible event. I’ve created a skype group and you can join via this link:

You can copy-paste it on your browser and choose the option to open it with an external application, so that you can join in!
If you’re using chrome, make sure to choose the green link after pasting it in your browser bar, as seen below:
We’ll be creating a group voice call a few minutes before the scheduled time and hopefully start watching on time. Every session, we would be watching the episode that aired last week, so I’m expecting most people to have already watched it by then. But since some of the participants might not have watched it yet, please, no spoilers during the voice call, at least, until after we’re done watching the episode
Anime
Charlotte will be streamed on multiple streaming sites, so feel free to take your pick! http://daisuki.net should have it available for totally free, so that will make it accessible for most people. But since this is streaming, if you have slow internet, make sure to buffer the video in advanced. We won’t be having a set copy that we will all be watching from, but we will all start playback at the same time.
I guess that’s all the info you’ll need for now. If you guys have any questions, feel free to post them here or on the skype group, and I’ll be glad to answer. Hope you all can join in!
