I currently have all the season sets for Gen 1 Transformers on DVD as well as the movie on VHS so I'm wondering does anyone think it would be a survivable idea to watch it all non stop from first episode to last with the movie placed between seasons 2 and 3 without taking a break for sleep?

Should I try it?

I'm not doing a poll just because I'd rather read reactions.

If you don't mind feeling brain-dead halfway through, go on ahead.

Certainly it's survivable . . . why would you want too?

I like the series I have it all available and plenty of time to do it in.

Sounds better than my plan to eventually watch through all of Evangelion and Serial Experiments Lain in one sitting. I say go for it.

Damn your free time! ^_^

But I'd say try for halfway first, and then see if you want to keep going after that.

I envy your free time >_<

How bad could it possibly be anyways? It'd be like watching 5 seasons of 24 in one go because you can't stand the suspense and then watching 3 seasons of The Office because it was too intense for you and you needed to relax.... not that I did that or anything ^_~

Make sure you stock up on Mountain Dew first. Speaking from personal experience, I can state that chugging through a 2-Liter bottle of that stuff over the course of one afternoon can keep you awake for two days. It enabled me to go through an entire 2 1/2 day anime convention at grad school without sleep so that I could attend the events that they insisted on holding at 1AM, such as the Eye of Argon reading. Once the convention was over I watched the entire second season of Vandread in one sitting for an encore.

I curse your available free time as well. On that note, I say go for it. Unless you'd rather not suffer a catastrophic system failure sometime halfway through.

I can't stand Mountain Dew. I have an alternative beverage that I make based on the descriptions of a drink in the Dragon Riders of Pern novels. It's called Klah. That link goes to my recipe.

Just to check time the approximates on the boxes are
Season 1 ± 490 min.
Season 2 part 1 ± 715 min.
Season 2 part 2 ± 675 min.
Transformers the Movie ± 86 min.
Season 3 part 1 ± 430 min.
Season 3 part 2 & Season 4 ± 430 min.

So that's just shy of 2 days.

I did a similar marathon with the entire LOTR DVD set using theatrical and extended releases with watching every included special feature on all the disks.

Klah is a coffee substitute made from dried tree bark. I don't see that in the recipe.

If you read Chronicles of Pern First Fall you will find the flavor description. That is what the Recipe is intended to go for. And as to the Tree Bark what do you think Cinnamon is?

47 hours of anime in one sitting!?!?! Wow! I wish I had as much free time as you! I once watched all of Evangelion and Evagelion Death and Rebirth in one setting and I thought I was hardcore... but it seems I'm a freakin wussy compared to you. Good luck, you'll need it.

I'm missing one ingredient for Klah but I'm fine on the rest of my groceries. So I'm putting this off until after my next shopping trip. I might be able to manage it using Soda and normal Coffee but well it would probably too much acid and leave me messed up for the rest of the week.

Good lord, your brain will be complete mush by the time you even finish.

Does this actually include STAYING UP for those two days or so without sleep?
