This is why I'm pretty particular about animes I watch, shonen in particular.
I don't really watch anime, this is the second anime I've watched in years.

It's was mostly old black people and some negative media coverage. J-Lo apologized
Yeah yeah, but what does Ja Rule have to say about all this?
Ja Rule tried to explain that she's latino so it's ok to say it/he wrote the lines for her to say.
Oh. Okay.
Watch Blue Ruin if you have access to it
I don't. I actually did look though.
Best believe I was scared - but seeing the trailer, I think its worth a shot.

Basically how I am. Last one I watched was Attack on Titans. If enough people talk about a show I'll give it a try. Actually I watched Space Dandy as well, because it's watanabe and I love cowboy bebop and samurai champloo.

I saw this recently.
Pretty much in the same boat. Last thing I watched was KlK and that was 2 weeks after it ended and gaf hyping it up for months.This is why I'm pretty particular about animes I watch, shonen in particular.
Same with Gurren Lagann, I literally just watched it a week or 2 ago.
Edit:Actually AoT was what brought me back into anime

How was Space Dandy anyway? I watched the first episode and it didn't feel like Watanabe at all

I watched a few episodes of AoT it was cool but ultimately I lost interest. But I'm like that with TV in general which is why I don't have cable TV. Very rarely will I stick with a show regardless of it's quality.
From what I've seen on toonami/binge watching, it gets better. After like 6 episodes.How was Space Dandy anyway? I watched the first episode and it didn't feel like Watanabe at all
Its basically a wacky Saturday morning cartoon type of deal
I know that feel.
It was just weird with HxH - because I gave both Ippo, Kuroko's Basketball, and Bleach plenty of chance but something about the beginning of HxH just completely failed to draw me. But I never watched the original. I tried to watch the newer version if that makes any difference.
I think its because hunter starts off adventure like. That stuff loses a lot of people expecting yu yu hakusho level stuff out the gate. When it finally swings into gear is when it gets attention. I think thats why leorio is such an odd man in the series, because hes clearly made for something else.

It's hit or miss, but it's got a high ceiling and a pretty decent floor. The lack of an ongoing narrative is a bit stressful at times, but the show's a lot of fun. Some of it will tickle that Cowboy Bebop/Samurai Champloo bone, but those experiences aren't as plentiful as you'd hope. I think it'd be a lot better if they removed, or didn't focus so heavily on the Gogol Empire stuff.
I think it lends itself better to weekly watching, as opposed to powering through it, considering the lack of narrative consistency from episode to episode.

now i need a movie (or movies) to watch
got time to kill and i don't want to hop back into xillia quite yet
like i always say..."The Black Klansman" or yea know Sunshine if you want to watch something current(ish)
I almost tricked myself into watching Casshern Sins again today but I know better.
If you want to watch a television show, give Vikings a whirl. Damn good show.

I would advise y'all to watch Kamen Rider Fourze, but y'all can't handle those feels.
How is Gaim?
How is Gaim?
Better than it has any right to be. So many twists and turns, they should call it Game of Henshin Drivers.

Being bros witg everyone is something a lot of people cant handle

Like slay said, its much better than it should be given the rider design.

Oh, late, but: Fucking Naruto is getting on my nerves.

If someone told me that a show who's key features was Dancing, Fruit, and Pokemon battles evolved into a Greek tragedy, I would tell you to stop smoking that shit.
Kamen Rider seems difficult to get into
It's really not, some seasons are better than others. Even the bad season. are just boring,

It's really not, but you really do need to jump in on the right series.
I recommend Kabuto, if you like more serious things, and Den-O if you like more silly things.
If you like things in the middle, start with Double.
Kamen Rider seems difficult to get into
Its not. Just take it one series at a time. Theres really no connection to the other series except for the movies. kamen rider W , kabuto, or fourze are easy ones to start off with, then you can branch off from those
How was Space Dandy anyway? I watched the first episode and it didn't feel like Watanabe at all
It's ok, the episodes are really hit or miss. It's pretty wacky and each episode is pretty different. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an overarching story, or at least not right now there isn't. The music is really good, and it's really colorful.
Hellsing Ultimate/ Ova and Monster great for the people into anime
Monsters another one that gets name dropped a lot. Pretty solid seinen show I saw a few years back. Apparently Guilermo Del Toro wants to make a show based off it iirc. Never seen the other shows you named.

Too late. Casshern Sins is happening. Between this and Game of Thrones, I'll be dead by Monday.

I'll say it again as I've said before. I don't have problems trying to discern who should or should not say nigger. I will not have to deal with "well maybe he was saying, nigga" because no one should say the word period.
For me there is no appropriation of the word. To call each others niggers/niggas is just becoming conditioned to accept degradation.

question to some of yall that know a bit more about anime is there anything else out there close to that "pulp" feel of black lagoon?
I still like shonen but I liked that BL had some more grounded characters, and played off of more gun fights then sci-fi or fantasy. Even if the world itself might jump the shark at times.

Baccano or Durarara might be what you're looking for. I haven't heard much of it, but the dub of Baccano is supposed to be pretty damn good.

Thanks I'll give them a try some time this tomorrow/next week

I think they dubbed it all the way to part 8.

Trigun is definitely in line with Black Lagoon.
Another is maybe... I think I'm thinking of Hellsing...

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex , Jormungand, Cowboy Bebop or Hellsing Ultimate
Mainly the ones in bold, Hellsing Ultimate is just a shameless plug lol. You make like Jormungand out of the three, since it is from the same guy that is doing Black Lagoon.

I still have yet to finish that one and it's been like 3 years since I saw the 12th episode. I might have to start from the beginning pretty soon
