It's just the same kind of tenuous staff/studio association that marketers have always used to give some meaningless semblance of pedigree to whatever they're peddling.
Pretty much most of the shows from BONES have aired on Toonami. I'm sure I'm over reading into it. There supposedly are multiple composers working on it and this really seems like something Iwasaki would love to do, not to mention he hasn't really done anything since Gatchaman which would make him free for this.
That looks like a List show.

Well it is on the list.

This is everything that I want from this series.. so good..
Listening Kaiki analyzing and throwing snark to pedoragi feel so amazing and charming, and the episode itself look more polished than usual.. this shaping to be the best arc.
Oh Kaiki, you magnificent bastard.

Log Horizon 9
That was pretty predictable after all the shots of him ominously looking at that massive towering building so it really wasn't that much of a shock and that kinda bummed me out.

Macross Frontier movies thoughts
What the fuck did I just watch. The love story aspect I liked but everything else was... I can suspend my disbelief for many things in anime but a robot show where the power of music saves the day is just...
It wasn't bad, just the ending pissed me off. Almost like it was setting up a sequel that never happened.
I feel like watching a Gundam show next. Gundam Seed seems like it's another mech show with romance, is it any good?

I should probably clarify and say that not every instance of association between works for marketing purposes is totally bogus, but specific staff need to be invoked and studio comparisons are only valid if a lot of the same creative talent is shared between projects. Anything like that Mystical Laws poster that's probably just referring to some minor key animator or contracted inbetweening studio is really shitty, though it's an extreme example.
This kind of thing was originally designed to encourage impulse buys when anime had a retail presence but it's not really worth getting too bothered over now that it's just used to try and get people to tune into stuff. The mention of Soul Eater in the Space Dandy promo gets a pass because it's a show that the Toonami audience is already familiar with and these promos have to be designed on the assumption that the person viewing the promo has only seen a very specific set of shows.
Yeah, it's the newest Happy Science movie.

Ohh Kaiki-San you are a smooth talker! Talk me more!~
As Fertygo says, it also looked pretty sharp.

Love love love this series. First one in a while where I've been hooked from the first episode. Part of it may be that it seems a fairly uncommon setting for anime. It's also hilarious (but not surprising) how much Aladdin loves boobs.

I heard the franchise had music love and robots. Didn't know the music was the ultimate trump card. High School Mechasical
Getting used to the source material after a certain figure popped up eh?
Thinking about doing the same, the synopsis sounds awesome.
Like that's what the series is known for.
Nah, Ippo has lost almost all the serious spars he has been in

[Monogatari Second Whatever] - 22
So this Kaiki arc is turning out to be unexpectedly great, perhaps in part because SHAFT actually seem to care a tiny bit about making it. Of course, more importantly, we're actually getting a follow up to the Snake Arc which is not something I actually expected to see. Based Nisio Isin, etc etc.
As always, firehawk12 is a failure of a human being for not having watched the Snake girl arc.

Yama no Susume 2nd season next year, for real this time! (I hope)

[Hajime No Ippo: Rising] - 9
Well, this is pretty classic Hajime no Ippo content, albeit with fairly generic music. It's quite hard to find anything interesting to say about a well executed and rather predictable sports series but it's satisfying to watch nevertheless. From what readers of the manga have muttered about in somewhat dark tones I take it that the story in the manga kind of goes downhill soon after this?

To be fair, Frontier handled Music as a weapon a lot better than 7 did IMHO.

That's just classic advertising for you, attempting to tie the work into something that people already know. I mean, it's not like many people know the names of directors or anything like that so throwing in show titles to peak peoples interest is a pretty standard manoeuvre.

The power inconsistencies first appeared well before power levels stopped being relevant, rather, they used them whenever it was convenient as well. Like I don't remember talking to plants being relevant for more than a couple of episodes or less.
Fun fact: Aguri in Greek means cucumber. Coincidence? I don't think so!
Can't be going around giving up Onpu-chi anyway.

The saddest part is we are actually getting it at the same time too. Also that inferiority complex.

Be sure to listen to the commentaries after this if you haven't already. They make figuring your answer to that question a lot easier.
Probably one of those people that lurked here once and keep hearing 4th person reports of how terrible this place is/look at the idiots that spam waifu/persona threads and think this is animeGAF.
And yet I cannot bring myself to give a flying fuck.
Sadly no purity in these shows as far as I remember. A reason why modern Gundam is better! And you are right. Char is indeed legit.
Yea I know. I'm mostly having fun guessing as we don't know any of the composers.
LOL its not get darker, but more due to annoyance that Ippo fighting bunch of almost magical opponent.. I think the manga became interesting again lately though.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
hajime no ippo is a shonen manga, not just a sports manga, and so eventually it will have to go beyond reality especially when they want to make opponents noticeably stronger.

Considering how grounded in reality it is, it's not really acceptable.
I am bringing up Wolli again.
Kill la Kill 03
@ Lady Satsuki's Kamui.
@ that terrible CGI sequence in the fight.
It's really dat one fight that kinda killed it though... can't believe how many chapters was spent on that fight... hopefully when it gets adapted in 2022 they can just say fuck this and do it in 2 chapters and pretend the rest of it never happened.

Well people not annoyed that Mashiba have 2 meter punch or Ippo basically pull worst boxing style ever.. its never realistic at first place.
But Gedo and Woli fight is incredibly lazy by series standard, so no wonder people got turned off...
Bwahahahaha yeah fuck that fight.
Thankfully based Volg save the manga lately.

I SEE YURI (yes I know its just tenchi muyo)
Hell yes Im excited for this.
Erm....well thats good then. There are several streaming services, including Funimation and Viz, as well as Hulu, Netflix, and I believe one other startup service. Lots of choices.
Your avatar...why no Yuno or fuwafuwa?
30 chapters FFS, I can't believe it, that's over half a year on such a shit fight. At least the fight before it had a massive build up and deserved how long it went for, but Woli? fuck that.

This game is godlike. Its just perfect. I dont really particularly enjoy the top down Zeldas that much, but this one is something special!
You'll always be relevant nakama <3
Seriously. Who's salty and why?
God damn it, now this Utena stuff will constantly rub that holiday bundle in my face. Why didn't I wait with the purchase...
Anyways, reports of a 3rd UtaPri season for 2015? http://0taku.livedoor.biz/archives/4582637.html

Marika...wa, wait! I know this voice! It's Chiba Chiemi! Nice.
This'll amuse me greatly, used to use the left-hand rule a lot...but now it's back to studing for my test tomorrow. =(
Haha, just because of the left-hand rule.

But sometimes the dub is actually the best choice!
Neither of the above are even remotely true.
I just checked my old DVDs and you're right.
That's a separate issue! Even when it's the best choice, it's good to still have it as a choice.
It can also serve as reference material, as you can actually check how Garzey's Wing sounded before dubbing instead of wondering.
Well, thats true. Garzeys wing doesnt sound nearly as fun in japanese.
Neither does Desert Punk, Goldenboy, Cowboy Bebop, Gunsmith Cats, or a slew of other shows.

( spoiler for episode 21 )
i'm willing to bet that
the whole deal with the hawaian t-shirt and the fake glasses is something kaiki added to the story because it would be fun
That gif is scarily mesmerising. I'd been sitting there just staring at it for minutes before I realised what was happening.
