As much as I would love to see P&S on Toonami, I think I'd have to go with Tiger & Bunny. It has the most potential ratings-wise (well, maybe Final Act does, but screw that) which is what Toonami needs right now.

I wish you the best, cajunator.
I work 1 more night, off 1 day, work 4 more, then finally off 7 for the first time in 2 and a half years. Its so close I am absolutely petrified that something will come along and spoil it, like what happened every single time we were close the last couple of years

Appreciated.
with that much free time I could marathon Ben-to, Mirai nikki, Another, all the hsit from this season...It could be glorious. Hell I might be able to put away a season of Sailor Moon as well.
Dark Precure rocks! All her fights are really cool.
So I guess Cobraja is your favorite of the 3 generals so far? He is pretty funny and has that maximum fabulousness too! I think that overall, Kumojacky
gets better fights, and he has the whole hotblooded thing going for him, so he's my favorite.

Just out of interest - what other anime have you had to quit at that point?

If I were you, cajunator, I don't think I'd take no for an answer, regardless of what comes up. It sounds like you've more than earned some time off.
Show off.

Truly, the heroes that AnimeGAF deserve.We sacrifice ourselves so that you don't have to.
Honestly I wouldnt be able to work like that.
I don't think I could deal with a normal desk job 9-5 during the day or the distractions of being at home. My job is consistently busy, and I often dont have the time to get every single thing done, even in twelve hours. It makes the time go by much quicker though, and an 8 hour workday to me would seem awfully short.
Working at night has always been more interesting to me, and means I can be active during the day when Im not actually sleeping. Although many days I just go home, fall asleep, wake up and go back to work. thats why my anime watching has been painfully slow. I just dont feel like watching much while Im on my work schedule.
I want Fairy Tail. It's the closest we ever gonna get to having One Piece on TV

Went with Tiger and Bunny this time. P&SwG would be hilarious, but it's more of an acquired taste and generally-riskier to show. Gurren-Lagann needs to come before that show anywayImaishi works are, of course, perfect for the line-up.
I put down some more classic-anime stuff, I guess. Toonami could use more Lupin.

Neat. I haven't finished the manga yet (another case of my relatives taking stuff across the country with them!), so I'll have to consider which to complete first. And, yeah, no one has free will. I can thank Anipages for the majority of my anime investigations, only because Ben's so good at making classic anime seem so cool.
Trust me: we love to do this shit. Both for you, and for our perfectly-normal viewing urges that happen to commandeer.

Sorry, but New Orleans is now the center of Anime-GAF. I just wonder where Jexhius hails from.
considering its history it makes sense, sort of.
I don't live in NeW Orleans or even close to it.

Aww.
Now I wonder where the name Cajunator originated. Unless he's a Nowhere Man.

I thought he was an English black man who tragically died in the Antarctic.
Oh, I guess that would explain things.

You know One Piece is an option for returning shows in the poll.
Speaking of work schedules, I wonder where Jexhius went. Now nobody is left to fight the cajunator regime.
He was posting earlier. Maybe ultimadrago can deliver us.
where Cajuns actually come from:

I used to be like that. Worked 3 pm - 11 pm for years (although my work shift often went past 11 pm and I'd end up working till 3 am). If you're busy a 12 hour shift definitely goes fast. Up until this year I used to work 4 days on and 3 days off and the 4 days were 12 hour shifts each day.
The problem was that my shift was from Thursday - Sunday, so I lost the weekends constantly and never got to take part in anything with "normal" people. Even in MMO's and shit most of the good stuff happens on the weekends, so I was always left behind. I transferred to a new department and while I was a bit iffy on the shift times at first, I quickly grew acclimated to it.
I may work from home, but I'm very busy (I'm on lunch break at the moment which is why I'm posting here). I'm usually managing servers or scripting something. I spent 3 hours today just writing up a script to implement some configuration changes across 2,000~ servers, so it's not like I lack for things to do.
I can understand how a lot of people wouldn't be able to work from home without being distracted, though. It took a lot of will power at first, but now it's pretty much cake. I do love the lack of travel too. It's like, 5 pm hits, clock out, open anime. No 20 or 30 minute drive through rush hour traffic to get home.
Show off.
Slightly. I usually try to avoid talking about my job IRL because most people I know have shitty jobs - so even talking about work normally makes it sound like I'm bragging.
I did see somebody who looked similar but I think he's just an impostor.

I am right here. Ironically it's not a work schedule so much as a holiday schedule that has kept me busy.

I'm well-aware.
OOT: the synopsis for episode 12 of Fujikoike is being kept secret from the audience right now. Not because it's too early to show, but because they're trying to ramp up the suspense. The episode that just aired (Mari Okada on the script, so it's a megaton episode) deals with Oscar, so it looks like everything's coming together.

That sounds like it works for you.
I don't miss out on weekends all the time, but the last two years have been rough.
When I say 7/7 I literally mean work one week, off one week. I think you can see why I look forward to that. In a two week stretch I work a full week and the rest is free to do anything I want with no involvement whatsoever with work. So thats a free tuesday morning till the next tuesday night when I go back in for work. Thats enough for a mini vacation every other week and I get paid for two weeks worth of a normal work schedule.
Also, my "commute" is 15 minute drive because of stoplights and traffic, but going home Im usually there within 5 minutes
The work is stressful, but Ive learned over the years that many htings are beyond my control and its business, not personal. That has helped me to tolerate the insanity of the job. But then I look around my room at all the cool shit I have been able to buy, while still living comfortably on my own terms and with savings in the bank and a 401k and I cant help but feel this was worth it so far.

A week on and a week off is doable, as you actually end up with more time off than you work since you're not working 24 hours a day obviously. I had that with the 4 on 3 off too, as I ultimately had more hours off in a week than I had on. It just didn't feel shorter, though and with my job I was getting stressed out by the time Sunday came since I had to manage everything by myself because management and everyone else didn't work weekends (I was literally the only manager on for my entire 12 hour shift and I was a shift manager, not a big wig).
Oh, and I have benefits and all that good stuff too. Odds are that you might make more than me, but considering my lack of expenses I do really well. The only thing I miss is interacting with other employees an being able to go out and do stuff with 'em. We have 0 comradery at my current work place - it's like, your shift ends and that's it. Nobody hangs out with one another at all.
I don't really get it when people (OK, mostly Jexhius) complain that series like Lagrange or E7 AO try to be too much. I mean, I understand why that might be problematic from a business perspective; if you don't pander hard enough to a given niche then it won't buy your Blu-Rays. But from a quality perspective I like shows that have some variety and can't be crammed into neat little genre boxes.
Less about pandering and more about what and where they're trying to go with the show.
The Truth stuff is a disaster waiting to happen in AO.

They are complaining that those shows try to be too many things and fail to be good at any one thing, or at least not enough to balance out all the bad.
Maybe the real one is withholding replies to keep this from hitting ot4.
Yeah, one thing I enjoy is that our dispatching group get along really well (except one particular asshole that I have never liked since I started the job, but nobody likes him and hes actually a habitual liar as well) so we all go eat breakfast somewhere on occasion and thingsl ike that. But mostly I just go home after work because Im too tired to do anything.
Having three other people to talk to definitely relieves the stress of the night though.
It used to be just two of us working in there, dealing with the entire company at night. Fuck those days. It is much better now. But more importantly, I can go back to watching my beloved animu more consistently and post here more often.
Kido ni Jikan or whatever it was called is a no brainer.
Nearly bored me to death.

These are the only names that stick, there were some others, but I've forgotten them thankfully. Truth be told, these were ages ago, I'd probably at least sit through a whole episode if I were watching them for the first time today.
Except Itazura and Konomo Jikan, fuck those shows.

Well, my arguments regarding E7 AO have nothing to do with my arguments about Lagrange. Neither do they, necessarily, have anything to do with genre. What I am concerned with is: pacing, editing, structure, weight, character and how all those things tend to suffer when you cram a million events in a single episode. Even Kids On the Slope, a show that does this really well, runs into some problems regarding characterisation and E7 AO is nowhere near as well made as that show.
In general, when something is done badly I am going to complain, regardless of what show it is.
Also, I don't feel like I am the only person complaining about this!

I'd say Cobraja with Sassorina closely behind him. Haven't seen much of Kumojacky still, though he's gaining some ground after...
HeartCatch Precure 11
Back to the regular pace with this one but with a couple of twists, it seems like there will be a lot more magic in the fights from now on and overall I'd say the fights themselves are becoming more interesting. Also it seems they are experimenting with adding more subordinates into the fray making the generals feel like well generals. After this Kumojacky also improved in my eyes. His fighting spirit is strong!
Kung-Fu training was somewhat adorable.
