It's Tuesday and you know what that means, we're less than 48 hours away until it's time for your weekly Thursday dose of nippon Ash! Until then discuss, speculate, bitch and moan, etc etc.
NOT-SHIT SUBS:
http://pocketmonsters.edwardk.info/#PocketMonstersXYSubbed This week's episode:
>Fish the Golden Magikarp!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m-T0clFCq0 At the Ambrette Aquarium, Ash and friends meet the curator Louden and his Clauncher. The group then head out to fish in an attempt to catch a golden Magikarp. How will this turn out?
Next episodes:
>The Aurora Bond! Amaura and Aurorus!! [4/17] >The Castle on the Seabed! Skrelp and Dragalge!! [4/24] >Break for Chink Tennis >The Cyllage Gym Match! Pikachu VS Tyrunt!! [5/8] Shit people will ask:
>Is this season good? I haven't watched the anime in [x] years and- It's better than Unova. Will it peak soon? Most likely, but just enjoy the ride as it is now. Right now we're getting a bunch of episodes set around Ambrette and Cyllage before heading into Mega Evolution territory and meeting glorious Korrina.
>Will Serena win da Ash? The long answer: No.|The short answer: Maybe.
>Muh subs when? [PM] is subbing X/Y and usually release within 3-4 days of the episode's airing. They have the best subs available, so work with them.
>Muh dubs when? This Saturday, XY013: Kindergarten Chaos!

>>18792334 Is tradition really the reason why you need to though, is my question. Because, to be very honest here, the threads are now getting lengthened to the point that they'll soon be closing in on half a week before the episode airs (3-3.5 days)
My worry for you guys is just dying off before the episodes even begin. I understand wanting to get started sooner but the payoff doesn't seem to be worth the risk, I guess is what I'm saying.
I'm all for discussion, it's what /vp/ is for. However, this is almost seeming to be like a week long general instead of a discussion that would at most be 1-2 threads long. I mean, when you've got these things lasting well into the weekend and then you recreate them on Tuesday... it just seems like flooding maybe? (Might not be the right term but I think you get the gist.)
But hey, it's only an opinion. It's just one that might be something to think about.

The threads are not a problem, and have never been. They could easily last all week around, but the naturally die by themselves until the next episode gets closer.

I only see these threads the two days leading up and maybe a day after, and unlike many other topics, you'll never see multiple of this thread at once (a la safari threads or my beloved showderp).
I like seeing these threads pop up, I don't really follow whats going to happen in the anime too closely so it's nice to get a heads up from these threads in advance, it's probably the only reason I actually remember to watch the episodes as they come out.
