School Days is a good show.
I check up on AnimeGAF, and everyone is watching School Days?
.... I approve.
Though, real men watch it in one sitting. (and immediately follow it up with ToraDora!)

This is actually how I watched the show, and I still feel like I got pretty close to the full effect. Honestly, I think the only way I was able to keep watching the people in this series treat each other the way they do was knowing that it was going to happen. By the end I thought I had a hunch as to who, but.. I guessed wrong. Good times.

School Days 12
That's exactly what I did, but considering it's 7am and I have work later, I won't be following it up with ToraDora. Nope. Nothing to do but lie in bed with my thoughts and wait for sleep.
When I shed a single tear near the end of Code Geass, I was worried that I still had emotions. Fortunately, my good friend GAF didn't miss a beat before providing me with just the right remedy. Now I know there's nothing inside.

That actually sums up my experience quite well.
I thought Kotonoha was going to go on a rampage at school. What actually happened was so much worse than that.

I'll have to read all the spoilers for School Days to make sure I don't go and waste my time watching it.
Edit:
The plot summary was enough.

Wow, I'm glad I never subjected myself to that. The frightening thing is, that show easily could have been fucked up even more than it was. My eyes remain clean.
Wait what seriously? It managed to be popular despite hidious deform faces?

It's not a bad show. If you're interested, then watch it and don't read spoilers. The only waste of time would be ruining it for yourself.

Too messed up for my taste. I spoiled it and couldn't be happier in my decision.

Oh! Edo Rocket 19:
Akai really lost his shit. It's the buildup of what's been happening with him for awhile now, so it was interesting to see, and I thought his scenes with Seikichi and Ginjiro delved into his reasons in interesting ways. This episode had some really great comedic moments, and everything in the story seems to be coming to a head.

Yeah, like that is going to work when the first new viewer already mentioned that it's the worst anime he has seen.

I usually try not to watch too many episodes of a single show at once. It might take longer to finish/get caught up on something, but I generally find it a more rewarding experience when I don't just burn through something really quickly. Marathoning shows by watching a number of episodes in one sitting just doesn't work for me anymore. Not only for schedule reasons, but also because I find that I get burned out on something too quickly.

Flame of Recca has one of the best realized instances of the Shounen formula ever... in the manga. The anime cuts out a bit including the best character in the series and ends in a typical "read the manga" way. It isn't bad and seeing some of the better early fights animated is cool, but as an adaption, it's filled with wasted potential.
Thats why its taking me so long for CCS. I watch a couple eps in a row, then go do something else.
I have the rest of today and two more full days off to reach my goal of episode 40, so I'm not gonna push it.
I haven't really "marathoned" something in quite a while, for the same reasons mentioned by KuwabaraTheMan. But when I did in years past, it was usually on a weekend when I had nothing to do. I recall watching something like 50 episodes of Inuyasha in one shot back in the day.
With a regular 9-5 (or 6) style work schedule, I've found that I have more free time than I did even in college, so finding a few hours to sit down and plow through something isn't that hard if I really want to do so.
Summer break, 2010, no job, no life, animes marathoned: many.
Thing is, I am supposed to have a fucking awesome schedule of 7/7. work 7, off 7, so I should have loads of time to watch. but right now we have a shortage of manpower and I have put in countless extra days over the last year and a half. Im glad to be employed and all, but I did join after being told I would have that schedule, and with all the stress involved in this kind of work, I could really use the 7 days off after 84 hours on.

But at least you had love!
It took me 4 months to do 49 episodes of PGSM. I could never really marathon a show with work/school/life taking up so much time.

Right now, I watch 3 episodes a day of something while I jog in place. Maybe that isn't quite as intensive as legit marathoning, but I can knock out a 90 episode show in a month.
In the past, I was more obsessive with stuff like this. Ended up doing like 140 episodes of One Piece in 9 days, which back then was all that was available translated. I think that was during some kind of vacation in high school, so it's not like I had any commitments and barely had a social life, so it wasn't that hard.

Great episode.
How does CCS keep such quality with this many episodes?
It is just cuteness and good writing the whole way through.

LOL
One episode a day, but if I get too busy by school, I try to watch 2-3 episodes a day on weekends to make up for the difference
The problem with a lot of long ass anime is I will get burned out by them very fast if I rush through the episodes, so I'd rather watch very slowly than catch up quickly.
