Dropkick Swim [dks]

One of our gimmicks we’re running for DKS next season required us each to pick a “good” and “evil” show and gradually chip away at each one unknowingly until one remains, and well…..

me, crafting the dks misery block: haha yes this rules
me, watching the dks misery block: who the fuck did this

An image of a child pointing at Yu-Gi-Oh card Monster Reborn. Monster Reborn says "hey guys", to which the child responds "Reborn the Monster". "NOT WHAT I'M CALLED", Monster Reborn replies

We’ve got 20(!!!) shows we’re following with one designed to just be a general watch along at your own pace never have to show up to a single voice call type affair in the upcoming Gachiakuta, and the others you can pick and choose from. Watch them all. Watch only one day’s stuff. Watch whatever.

Now is theoretically the best point to jump on with us if you’re interested in at least watching some of the stuff along in your own time but fair warning: this upcoming season we’re at the half way point of a bunch of shows and starting season 2s, so that could mean catching up on your end.

We wrap up another cour of Dropkick Swim this week and prepare for the one year anniversary of watching! Crazy that just deciding to do something and forcing it can actually work.

as per tradition we have decided our next schedule far too early in advance

we just can’t help ourselves

Additionally, day 3 is currently scheduled for Friday this week
