The Standing Committee for the Coordination of Simultaneous Anime Viewing (SCCSAV) was a gathering of friends from all around the world to watch anime together. It was started primarily by @vuc_ and exploded over the past year. Because of all the fun times we’ve had together, I choose SCCSAV as my most memorable anime moment of 2011.
My contribution to SCCSAV this year started with Iyashikei Mondays. Our first viewing was Sketchbook ~full colors~ with at most five other people. Checking the channel as I post this, we’ve had over 20 people drop by. Some have gone, while new faces have showed up. We’ve since expanded to a two day viewing (in part because I wanted to watch Tamayura’s OVA one Sunday), with two episodes each day. It’s introduced me to such shows as Kamichu!, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, Binchou-tan, and Taishou Yakyu Musume. The third and final viewing was the Tuesday event that I started which doesn’t really have a set theme to it. We started with Kino no Tabi, and have moved onto Haibane Renmei. Other fun things include our viewing of the entirety of the Suzumiya Haruhi series and the movie The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya over the summer. It helped me discover that the best way to watch the much maligned Endless Eight arc was with friends so we could all make fun of it and shout “Kyon-kun denwa” at the same time. I’ve even played Minecraft with them and helped to host a playthrough segment of EarthBound together.
Besides all the stuff that I participated in, there are at least half a dozen viewing events covering a wide range of themes and shows. I think that’s its greatest advantage over the traditional anime clubs I’ve been a part of. Not to say I haven’t had tons of fun in them, but the broader variety of choice is one of the features of SCCSAV that has made it so successful. I really enjoy the freedom to choose what group I’m in and to to find friends easily who are into the same thing that I’m into.
To everyone in SCCSAV, thank you. I have had such a great year thanks to all the things we did together.
wooooo
Dodododododo~
The SCCSAV has been for me, anime-wise, the source of some of the best experiences ever. I can never forget the Endless Summer, or Kino no Tabi, or those fun times on the old MC server.
So there’s one thing I have to be thankful this Christmas. Thanks, Vuc, and Rune for organizing these livewatches. I look forward to finishing Haibane Renmei with you guys, because boy is it spectacular.
We had much fun together. I’m happy to have you as part of it!
ALL HAIL SCCSAV!
Watching stuff with SCCSAV is always a lot of fun, though I tend to end up mostly watching old mecha shows ^^”
Even though we ended up in difference circles, I’m happy to have met you through SCCSAV. It is great at bringing people together!
