== Informal planning principles ==
== Winter 2018 draft schedule ==
* None of this is absolute. These are guidelines only and if following them would mean watching bad shows and not watching good shows then we will overrule them
 
* We watch about 2:30 each week - normally 6 normal-length TV episodes from 6 different shows (watching each show from start to finish at one episode per week)
* ???
** If a significant number of attendees will miss one or two meetings (e.g. during holiday periods) we set aside the regular schedule and show "specials" instead.
* ???
* We try to group the schedule into "seasons" (i.e. start and finish a group of shows at the same time) to provide some structure and (at least theoretically) to give newcomers a reasonable point at which to join.
* ???
** Seasons are long enough to complete a "short" show (i.e. 12 or 13 weeks) and do not necessarily align with calendar seasons
* ???
** We aim to start shows when they are still airing, but after enough episodes have aired to reasonably evaluate them (usually three or four)
* ???
** Seasons are named on this page after the "anime season" from which shows could have appeared in that season
* March Comes in Like a Lion / ???
*** i.e. if we start a season just before spring ends and summer begins (or even after a few summer episodes have aired, but not enough for summer shows to be considered for the schedule), we will call that season "spring"
 
*** i.e. at any given time we may be up to a season "behind realtime"
=== Nominated ===
* Avoid falling into a rut
* A Place Further Than The Universe
** We try to enforce a mix of genres by using "slots"
* Citrus
*** Approximate slots
* Darling in the Franxx
**** Action and/or general fast-paced
* Just Because
**** Sci-Fi
* Mitsuboshi Colors
**** General, faster and/or more serious
**** General or sports, slower and/or more lighthearted
**** Comedy
**** Romance and/or drama
** Slot order is so that the tonal arc of the evening makes some sense
*** This sounds really wishy-washy, but at the same time it genuinely is surprisingly important - we've had meetings where we watched things in the "wrong" order for technical reasons and it didn't go well
** We can skip, reassign or "fudge" a slot if there really are no good shows in that genre that season, but we should be very wary if we find ourselves repeatedly skipping the same slot
** "Current" shows generally take priority over older shows
*** If there are not enough schedule-quality shows then we look to recent shows that we considered schedule-quality but did not make the schedule in a previous season, and/or to "classic" shows
* Try to reach a consensus but also to broaden our horizons
** We largely rely on attendees watching at least the first few episodes of a show and then proposing it for the schedule
** We try to avoid scheduling a show that any attendee strenuously objects to
*** This is not absolute, particularly if there are enough "vetos" to make it difficult to assemble a schedule at all
* We would prefer to air a show that some love and others dislike (though not hate) than one that everyone is "meh" about
** This is not to say that shows have to be controversial or provocative (though at the same time we don't shy away from such shows)
*** There is plenty of space for a well-crafted "safe" show, just not for a mediocre one.
*** Shows that are ambitious will ideally be given slightly more leeway regarding weaknesses in other areas.
**** But only slightly.
** Conversely shows that are content to remain within their genre ("if you want x you know where to find it") will ideally be held to a slightly higher standard.
* We call shows that two or more people supported and no-one strenuously objected to "schedule-worthy" and list them separately below
** Experience suggests that we will most likely air them sooner or later
** This is solely as a matter of practicality; it doesn't imply any firm commitment
* We can and do drop shows partway through, even partway through a season, but only when there is a firm consensus for doing so
** Generally if even one attendee was still enjoying a given show we would not drop it
* The host retains an absolute veto over anything they find genuinely objectionable
** i.e. not just shows I don't like
** [[Animu/HostVetoes]]
