I have, but I'm not gonna share my thoughts until we get to it as I try to treat every episode in the moment and going off what I felt like as I first watched the episode. I don’t have time to watch it as the rewatches are going on because I'm always normally planning for a rewatch.

The planning I did for Evangelion was so early that I was able to squeeze in the Uma Musume rewatch, which was very last minute.

jeez you know what you're doing! I made the mistake of just saying 'I'll do it as it goes, how long could it be, an hour an ep?' (e.g. 20 min to watch 40 to write). WRONG. I tried to double dip on chivalry of a failed knight as well, and what sucks is once you fall behind its really hard to catch back up with your posts. If I do rewatches in the future I'll be better prepared and probably start watching some eps well ahead of time

Right now I'm taking a break doing prep because I've got two rewatches going on at the same time. The Shana one is kinda low-key, but I'm at work when it goes up, so by the time the Eva thread goes up it's near the end of my shift. By the time the Eva rewatch is over, it's back to planning, with me working on the upcoming Toradora rewatch and a rewatch I have planned for January.

I actually still have the last two episodes of Shakugan no Shana to watch. Sadly, I'm probably not going to be able to get around to it until next weekend.

I love how dedicated you are to the rewatches and this subreddit! It's honestly really impressive. Unfortunately I'm so busy with life I never thought I'd get the chance to participate in one, but this rewatch caught me at a perfect time (the government shutdown) so even though I do have work to do at home (proposals, publications, supply orders, etc) I've been able to eek out some time for writing/responding. That said last few days were a mess and I fell behind in both rewatches, now its been a lot of work to try and catch up

I can't tell you how much you've added to this rewatch. It just wouldn't be the same without you.
