I've begun to gather several presenters Skype contact details and want to start some general discussions for fun, hopefully starting Sunday night. I intend to have a few of these running over the next week so we can begin to figure out who works best and stuff.

I don't want to be rude, so people if you have voiced your opinion about presenting or just wish to be involved in the conversation please post your Skype details down and I hope everyone will add everyone. If you don't want to public disclose your information, PM me and I'll message your details out to the possible presenters.

Right now, the plan is to just to have an open conversation and see what happens, not dissimilar with meeting with friends (or even just AUKN meeting at expos) but an episode/series fallback is always welcome. Someone has mentioned the R.O.D. OVA to me - any suggestions for a not very time-consuming backup conversation?

This group discussion thing doesn't need to be the first official contact some of you have with each other, you guys are more than welcome to just start talking - especially if you're bored and on the Chat or something. Haha.

I'm "jamie.wotton" on Skype by the way.

There's also an email now - podcast@animeuknews.net.

I'm interested PM me for my Skype!

If it's an OVA, why not Riff it?

Have it playing while people are talking? It's up to people.

Mine is durial666 shocker huh?

Sounds good but you're going to have to give me more advanced notice than on the day, mate.

To be fair, he did say that he would run more of these through the next week, so even if you can't take part in todays session, there are always others.

This isn't anything official yet. Just slowly getting things moving.

I haven't Skyped with anime people in ages. Used to spend up to 8 hours at a time talking random stuff with people.

And? Some of us do have lives. We can't just drop stuff out of the blue.

No, your right, sorry, I can understand being in university and having a job ect, your tied for time, but this was inevitably going to happen at some point in the next week or so but as Jayme said, its nothing official, just getting used to talking with others.

Right, Me Skype is ARX7Laevatein(much the same as my Twitter) and i be available most evenings to have a chat. I can probably spend about an hour or so but more than that we'll see. I have my dissertation to work on obviously, and thats why my gaming thing is on the back-burner, but if others are handling editting and such, i don't see why i can't help out.

Reevothemusefan as always, add me if you wish

The first one went fairly successfully, as discussion of the Top Ten of the 2000s was questioned and argued, with people talking about their personal preferences and recommending others to watch. The Big Three were contested and the merits and failures of each being mentioned; obviously a conclusion was not met. It went well.

Next open chat will begin Tuesday at 8PM.

My skype name is the not so obvious chopped.onions.

I must apoligise for yesterday, there was a few times I was going to say something, just for my mind to blank, but at least I managed to say something.....
