That is a man that deserved it. Not even Goku was that bad. That's like Gendo tier. I'm sitting here looking for worst parents in anime lists and can't seem to find one with either Yusuke's mom or Ging.

This Toriko sounds interesting.
You should, it's great.

I can only do so much shonen. It seems lengthy as heck and I heard the anime is pretty bloated. Not to mention I do not like the character designs.
The first two reasons are why I dropped it. I thought it was pretty good, but god damn is it long. Reading the Manga should be better, but then again, too long, and I don't feel like catching up lol.

Like I like shonen, but I can't watch all of them. I watched HxH to wash Naruto out of my mouth, glad I did, but I watch too many genres to do another lengthy shonen series. It takes something interesting to get me to watch it, though I heard My Hero Academia wasn't too bad.
Assassination Classroom!

Thunderbolt Fantasy! It's an anime that uses puppets and it's badass.
Yeah definitely read the manga over watching the anime. And I agree it's long, but it's worth it. There's really no rush though.
That said, I completely understand not feeling the artstyle, I felt exactly the same before I started reading it. I guess it grew on me, because I really like it now. Oda is just so damn creative, and a damn good artist. The man's a beast.

What's it about and based on my tastes would I even like it?
It took me over a decade to start watching Naruto, I just do things at my own pace. I'd like to rewatch and finish Fate Zero and Fate Stay Night though. I finished Zero, but I like the story and characters and fight scenes though, only finished season one of Fate Stay Night.
I'm mainly mention it because I'm a fan and it's pretty different from the Shounen shows you are watching. Also handles romance much better than any I see in Jump series if you care about that.
Here's a basic summary:
The Earth is threatened by a powerful creature who destroyed 70% of the Moon with its power, rendering into the shape of a crescent moon forever. The creature claims that within a year, Earth will also be destroyed by him, but he offers mankind a chance to avert this fate. In class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Junior High School, he starts working as a homeroom teacher where he teaches his students not only regular subjects, but the ways of assassination. The Japanese government promises a reward of ¥10 billion (i.e. 100 million USD) to whomever among the students succeeds in killing the teacher, whom they have named "Koro Sensei" (殺せんせー Korosensē?, a pun on korosenai (殺せない, unkillable) and sensei (先生, teacher)). However, this has proven to be an almost impossible task, as not only does he have several superpowers at his disposal, including the capacity of moving at Mach 20, but he is also the best teacher they've ever had, helping them not only to improve their grades, but also their individual skills and perspectives for the future.
Anime only 47 episodes & Manga has 184.

Is it funny? Sounds interesting enough, short too.
Yes, it's mainly a gag series. Though at it's heart it's a coming of age story for the kids.

Toriko and AssClass are good (well, the manga at least, I haven't watched the AssClass anime and the Toriko anime is hot garbage).
Toriko has like DBZ strength escalation in like fast forward, it's ridiculous. The characters start off pretty strong but then eventually you have guys punching the planet and knocking everyone unconscious.

I've seen Baccano twice and wasn't too impressed with it. I own Black Lagoon on blu ray, I love it that god damn much. Roberta is bae.

Oh shit lol. I should do one. I've been thinking of doing a Komugi if I can find the right artwork or maybe Bisky.Got myself a proper HXH avatar

Got myself a proper HXH avatar
I'll change my avatar back to my old one once Togashi decides to show himself again >;O
Hopefully he comes back when the first BD volume releases
Same here. I'll rock a HxH avy again once Togashi returns.
Will he beat his 80 issue run is the real question!?
Early on he had short hiatus, but all the recent ones have been absurd lengths.

Doesn't help he is getting older and having back problems.

So much hiatus, wow.
For almost close to 60% of it's run HXH been on break...over 531 chapters...

Steel Ball Run sucked though, so there's that.

All concerns I had before watching, only to find myself wishing it was longer and loving everything about the character design, I think on top form One Piece is as good as HxH

Maybe I'll watch it as some point...is there at least a filler guide?

Lol, I guess the pacing is that bad.
Agreed, though I say its good till Impel Down then Toei really drags things out.

1 chapter or sometimes less for one episode is pretty abysmal. Like, Hunter x Hunter generally used at least 2 per episode, and JoJo part 4 has been using 3-6 per.

The first bunch of arcs of the One Piece anime are pretty good. Up until the desert arc or so. After that they go nuts with filler arcs and the pacing starts taking a real hit. Recent episodes are almost unwatchable. Pacing is ass and funny moments get dragged out and become really lame. It's a real shame.
It's one of my favorite comics, but even at this point it'll take you a long time to get caught up so I don't blame you for not bothering anymore. Honestly, I probably wouldn't myself if I was still new to the series.

The pacing of the One Piece anime is absolutely glacial, but I still get some enjoyment watching it with my brother. Music and voice work can really add a lot to certain scenes, and I enjoy seeing fight scenes animated. But the pacing is truly horrid, 1 chapter per episode on average and you can really feel it. You gotta have a lot of patience to watch One Piece after a certain point lol.

Sounds like it'll put me to sleep.
The first several arcs are adapted very well. You wouldn't really encounter the pacing issues till you're several hundred episodes deep. Which brings me to another legitimate issue with One Piece, It doesn't matter whether you read or watch it at this point, it's a massive time investment either way. I can't blame anyone from being intimidated by the amount of chapters or episodes present.

I don't agree with that guy, the music, animation definitely makes up for the pacing and the pacing only really gets dreadful in Enies Lobby late in the series and since you won't be watching on a weekly basis you can skip the obvious fillers. So yeah definitely watch the anime and switch to the manga when you are caught up

I rolled through Naruto from ep 1 well enough but I'm not in the mood to do that again anytime soon.

Do what I do with One Piece: Don't watch it or read it, but every so often open a youtube playlist with every opening and watch them all in a row.

Darker than Black was also pretty decent, and an interesting take on super powers. The sequel series are garbage though.

Yeah, the sequel is terrible. Stay away from it.

I saw both. Didn't hate the second season, though seeing a drunk as fuck Hei beating up a kid wasn't too great.

Toriko is good!
Toriko is godlike lol. The only problem is there is no waifu, only husbando.
