Yeah, Brit's right. My time zone is EST.

I'm mountain time so I have to subtract two hours. It really doesn't matter to me what time, but I voted. Hardest thing I'm having to decide is which version I should read. I have both!

ooh, in that case, the earlier, the better =x

you're about six hours behind me =(

I like Saturdays. I feel like they are the best time for everyone

Saturdays are usually good for me, but on that particular weekend, I randomly have evening plans. So for me, Friday and Sunday are best.

I found the first volume to my Mixx volumes! And I am being very tempted by amazon to buy Stars cause i found all 3 volumes. >.>

Well, my Saturday plans were canceled, so any day but Monday works for me now.

Alright, the live discussion has been scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd at 6:00 PM EST in the GC Chatbox! I hope to see you all there!

I gotta go to a movie right then, so I'm gonna miss this, sorry...

Ooh, I'd love to join!

I still need to reread the first volume! So behind...

You have also been added!

So, for anyone who needs time conversions xD If the link doesn't work, I already put in the correct time zone for you, you need to search for EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) as the EST time zone is currently observing daylights savings time xD 

Find what time it is for you here!

The live reading/discussion will start in just an hour guys!

oops, i was out, and i missed it =(

Would anyone like a second discussion tomorrow (Sunday 05/03) and we could watch a couple episodes of the 90s anime that go with the acts we've read together? I was thinking maybe 5:00 pm Central? Has to be before Game of Thrones lol!

I missed it. I got sick.

I'd be up for a second discussion.

Same.

Count me in! ^^

Cool! Sounds fun to me.

Are we doing this on skype or in the chat box again?

I was about to post in here since I just sent the PM.

We will begin in the chat box and for those that wish to join us for the livestream, we will go to the livestream after about an hour or so to watch a couple eps of the 90s anime.

This all starts at 5:00 PM CENTRAL (which is the same time as the live chat from yesterday!)

lol I got your PM just after I posted this xD

Just a reminder we start in 30 minutes!

just got home... we should have one on fridays

We are streaming now if you wanted to join!

ALSO as a reminder, if you can't make the live discussions, you are free to start talking about what we've read so far!

Here are some questions to help the discussion get started! Feel free to answers any of these or none at all. xD

- If this is your first time reading, how do you feel over all about the story, characters, writing/translation, artwork, etc?
- For those who are rereading, are there things you never notice before that you noticed now?
- Considering this is over a 20 year old story, does it feel dated to you? How does it fit with modern times?
- How do you feel about *insert specific character* at this point in the story? Describe flaws, personality, speech, design, etc.
- Choose a character and discuss their traits
- How would you compare the manga so far to other shoujo series you have read? You can compare to something of the same time period or something more modern or both.
- Favorite character, least favorite? Why?
- Do you like the manga so far? Why or why not? How does it compare to other versions you've read or other versions of SM you've seen?
- What theme are you getting so far?
- How do you feel about usagi and mamoru's relationship at this point? The relationship between her and ami/rei/mako etc.?
- Which character do you identify most with so far?
