Let's Watch... something, I dunno.

I posted this in the Let's Play thread, but that's probably not the right audience. So, I'll repost it here.

_mike and I have an idea. A "Let's Watch" idea. The sum and whole of this idea is we watch a bad anime, talk about it, then post a recording of our banter for you guys to watch along with a free, legal stream of something. I can pretty much guarantee that what we say will be funny, I just want to know two things.

One: would anyone be interested in listening to an off-the-cuff, anime version of MST3K (but not as good) and

Two: Do you have any recommendations for bad anime for us to comment on. We're looking for something we haven't watched, ideally but not necessarily from the 80's or early 90's, and hopefully less than 30 episodes. Keep in mind when recommending something that the idea is to make us suffer.

Really, the only difference from our normal Saturday night is that we won't be watching Fist of the North Star and that we'll have microphones, so us getting this started and completed isn't an issue. We just want to know if anyone would enjoy this.

Remember, make us suffer. Or, just post if you'd like to hear us suffer. This thread is to test the waters.

I actually considered something like this a while back but never got around to it. I'm for it, and I'd definitely check it out. Only problem is I can't think of anything awful enough to recommend. Eiken, maybe?

AIR GEAR

EDIT: WE'RE GOING TO THE TOOOOOOOOOOP

So you guys are going to look at the mistakes of others from afar and pass judgment on their work?

That doesn't sound very nice.

Netflix is overflowing with bad anime. I recommend the Xenosaga Anime which was more awful than the game. You could also do american cartoons - the Spaceballs series was just... I mean, you asked us to make you suffer, that is the definition.

Eiken, and take a shot of something everytime a boob bounces. Two shots when both boobs bounce.

You're one to talk.

Why are you trying to kill phil_?

Seriously the correct answer is Air Gear, it is the worst, which is to say the best, which is to say the worst.

There is a guy in this anime whose rollerblades are on fire all the time

EDIT: Air Gear is like if you took that scene in Back to the Future where Biff Tannen's grandson in THE FUTURE is all like "you can't go on water if you don't have POWEEEEEEEEEER", and turned it into an entire anime

I just want to see how long they last before the liver poisoning sets in.

We could take bets about how far they make it and which character offs them.

sounds more like mystery science theater to me, just with anime. Bonus if you use silhouette personas

but you gotta go beyond bad and into laughably horrible, ideally obscure too.
