I would personally prefer the 8th since the 2nd is my birthday, lol, but obviously, I’m good with whatever everyone else wants to do.

I'm cool with the first deadline, though I think the second deadline should probably be a non-holiday day.

@El Squibbonator @Hiccup23 @tyson67roberts @lamamama If any of you are interested, we have a Telegram group chat that's been around for a few years now that you can join at your leisure. Might make communication a lot quicker and easier since most of us don't always have easy access to the forums on mobile compared to desktop. https://t.me/+SuDI0UhvdOxlKa2C

For the time being, let’s just keep the current deadline as is and go from there after that passes. I know @YM! mentioned in our Telegram chat doing something similar to what we did in Cayom 2.0 where we split the calendar year into two halves and had separate deadlines for each one. I think that’s definitely a valid option, but for the time being, I think we should just treat the current deadline (Monday night) as the real thing and get as much done as we can.

I would go feral if Suzume somehow got nominated. It won't happen, but it's my favorite animated film of the year (we'll see about Heron when I get to it), so I'd feel more than justified in my reaction.

I’m fine with the 27th being the final hard deadline.

I wasn't over the moon about the film, but that Friday drop for KOTFM is a little sad. Hopefully, it can have a decent drop next weekend, since, other than Priscilla, there's nothing of real note coming out.

Haha yesssss, we’re so back!

Kinda felt the same way as well. Falls firmly into the "respect it more than I like it" category imo

Same as it ever was. 5/5

As the band’s exploits pull them into the middle of a long-standing war, Guts is increasingly conflicted over his purpose: fighting for the dream of his leader or finding one for himself. TW/CW: This film contains scenes depicting child abuse and molestation. No images from these scenes are included in the document, but reader discretion is highly advised. Summary: (~54.6k words)

I'm good with this, but I would recommend making a poll for it like we've done in the past.

Because @Eric Reyes requested it.
