Deals can be tricky to make sometimes. I mean, HxH is around three years overdue.
The dub rights to HxH have disappeared into a portal of eldritch horror at this point.
I can't believe we still have no idea who has HxH. I wish we knew where to look, but the whole "rights" thing is an obscured mess until someone comes out and says they have it.

clearly it's Harmony Gold
We know for sure it's not Viz.
It could be Funimation (ideal), Aniplex (PAY OUT THE ASS) or Sentai (urgh)
We would know if it was Harmony Gold
I doubt it's Saban, they don't seem interested in anime after Digimon Xros Wars bombed (who knows if they'll do Adventure Tri)

It's actually Geneon (now NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan) back from the dead
I know a guy like that. He thinks all anime over 5-years old is trash, with a few exceptions (All of them are very fanservicey, though; Full Metal Panic: Fuumofu comes to mind). For some reason, Bobobo, Cromartie High, and DBZ set him off in particular, but he also doesn't like Cowboy Bebop and a lot of other "classic" shows just because "they aren't up to the standards set by 'newer' anime." Meanwhile, *INSERT ROMANCE ANIME FROM NEWEST SEASON* and/or Angel Beats are the pinnacle of anime for him, and everyone that doesn't hold that opinion is a "peasant."
So naturally, I'll ask him things like if I should see Avatar subbed or dubbed.

this guy sounds like a dumbass
"set him off" as in he hates them or loves them? & to be fair, FMP Fuumofu is rather funny at times. But otherwise, wow, what? I would like to know these "standards" that newer shows have set.
Also, does his opinion change when whatever romance anime he's watching becomes 5-years old?
Fumofu is god-tier. The rugby episode alone justifies the season.
In that regard, yeah, but he's still my friend for other reasons outside of his tastes in television (He dislikes American shows, too; he complained the entire time we watched Archer). It's just that I saw this post and was immediately reminded me of him, his tastes, and how he views the tastes of others. At the very least, I'm not his only friend that thinks this way. I'm not disparaging him as a person, but his mindset towards the entirety of televised media just baffles me.
He hates them. He asked for anime recommendations on Facebook once and deleted my comment after I suggested Bobobo. About a week later, I was talking to a mutual friend who told me he was still complaining about that suggestion a few days after the post, so he apparently was steaming about it.
Fuumofu was good when I saw it years ago, but if I had to whittle down Top 5 anime, Fuumofu wouldn't be on the list. It also had a decent bit fanservice, which was a common theme among his older exceptions. And I haven't known him long enough to know if his unwritten "5 year" rule is rolling. My guess is that he started watching anime relatively recently, so he thinks the shows he started with are unbeatable. He comes off as being super-into the medium (He uses "otaku" unironically), but I don't think he's seen much outside of the newer stuff. It's like the classic "Gewunner" mindset with Pokemon, but he defends the newer material and refuses to acknowledge older stuff instead. I didn't meet him until late into my undergrad, and I've never thought to ask him when he started watching anime, though.
Plus, I was there the first time he saw Bobobo. He was expecting a more "modern anime" kind of comedy, where it was a slice of life-y, fanservice-ish high school setting. All I told him was that Bobobo was older, and "magnificent." Nothing could have prepared him for what he got, so I guess he just couldn't handle it. He loves the almost-equally-strange Space Dandy and JoJo, though, which backs the "only newer stuff gets a pass" rule. I mean, JoJo's almost 30-years old, but I don't think he knows that it was a manga first...
To be fair, as much as I enjoyed Bo-bobo as a teen, I clearly know it's not for everyone because of its completely & utter random humor, though man, Cromartie? & come on, deleting a serious suggestion & still being made about it A WEEK LATER? That's rather immature.
Kind of annoys me when people can't accept the older titles when it comes to media. You don't have to ENJOY the past, but it still helps to view them in order to see the evolution and how it's inspired/influenced future titles. It's like those people who can't watch older movies because there's no color or refuse to play older games because the graphics look "bad" or aren't 3D.

I don't remember much fanservice in Fumoffu.
What the fuck kind of "anime superfan" is going to shit on somebody for liking Cowboy Bebop of all fucking things?
That is basically the equivalent of a self-proclaimed "film buff" chewing out someone for liking The Godfather. Like, really, that's the battle you're picking?

They are seen as "entry level"
So yeah, basically hipsters, most people who feign a sense of knowledge or superiority usually don't know what they are talking about either.

To be fair, I've seen that whole scenario with The Godfather happen a pretty worrying number of times.
It insists upon itself.
I've seen people call it overrated, but I've never seen someone straight up give anybody shit for liking it. Because even people who think it's overrated generally acknowledge that their opinion is decidedly in the minority.
I guess that's the whole "lacking in social awareness" aspect of anime superfandom.

I've been really enjoying college so far. Carpe diem. Though depending on where you're going your situation could be more or less fun.

That's how you know they're legit because they know that "one of the best ever" is secretly shit. Its the story of the kings new clothes but in entertainment form
I have endured a 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. shift & am feeling a weird mixture of energy & exhaustion. Still figuring out my schedule, but from what it seems like, I most likely will have to work during Toonami BUT instead of going at midnight, I can go in at 2 a.m. it seems, so at the very least, I can watch the first three shows, then record the 1:30 & 2:30 shows. I'd rather miss two shows than the entire block.
.......also during our break, we watched Harvey Birdman & Sealab 2021 on Adult Swim.

Perhaps an Eastern Asian company bought the WORLDWIDE english rights for some reason and has thus been cockblocking the rest of the world.

At least you get to leave when SAO II starts. How much coffee do you need for that graveyard shift?
Isn't Parasyte going to replace SAO2? That's going to be a huge bummer not being able to watch it again with you guys.
Only had one cup of coffee before I went, actually felt fine until right near the end (I was starting to slow down), but all that was left was washing the glass door & some windows. Heck, my friend said I handled my first day better than he did. Plus I'm going in at midnight instead of 2 a.m., which should work better for my body. If anything, the hardest part is just getting my body adjusted to stay up those hours & actually learn to go to sleep when I want to take naps.

Seems likely.

I'd guess Parasyte would bump down at least Michiko and Hatchin. Maybe Akame ga Kill, too.
Definitely not Akame ga Kill!. Probably Michiko & Hatchin.
You guys are wondering what will replace Michiko & Hatchin? For some reason, I'm putting money on an Aniplex title. They have plenty to choose from: Magi (2 seasons worth), Fate/Zero and UBW, and freaking Aldnoah Zero. I have a feeling it will be Aldnoah Zero, which is a decent watch.
I'm still putting my money on either Tokyo Ghoul or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

In what world is Toonami's biggest premier ever getting knocked down from it's slot?
They will and you know it.

There's a tiny preview of her english dub in the new music video airing this weekend. If you watch preflight you can see it near the end
Is it good? PLEASE tell me it's decent at least.

I though the voice fit the character from the one line "is there no one who can satisfy me" though with the music playing in the background I wasn't able to determine if the line read was any good.

They better not mess up Esdeath.
They should just have her be voiced by whoever voiced General Armstrong because ice queens
