Well lets see.
You have Sekai, who is just a worse Reiji and starts asspulling immediately instead of waiting to get his super power fist like in S1. Sekai always just uses TATSUMAKI SENPYAKU or HOKUTO HYAKURETSU-KEN to win a fight.
Fumina is fine. Should be the MC but halfway through the show she gets sidelined and gets a crush on Sekai for reasons? She's supposed to support but in reality that means upgrade the other two midfight then lose. Her motivation was to catch up to Lady Meijin who does literally nothing the entire show? She fights offscreen maybe once. They try and set up some kind of Lady Meijin thing between her and Shia but it doesn't mean anything. At all. What the fuck is a Lady Meijin anyway?
Yuuma, dear fucking lord. Everyone says how good he is because he won the Gunpla artistic tournament yet we never see him build stuff and his genius ideas are PUTTING FUCKING BACKPACKS ON EVERYTHING. Meanwhile Sakai makes a gunpla that can Gattai and just gets shit on. What the hell, Tryon 3 is awesome!
The entire point of the series is team battles but none of the fights are even team battles because they never work together and it's always Sekai vs the Team Leader. What's the point of team battles then? There is none because Sekai just does magic kung fu and wins. Team battles?
Team Try Fighters doesn't even have a distinct rival...or any competition really since it never sets any up. On episode 6 of the original series we had the Reiji vs Meijin fight which was the best fight in the entire series and from then on it was set up that that would be the final battle. We also got other likable people to fight along the way like Fellini and Aila. In Try you get a bunch of people who get sidelined and then whats-his-face (Shia's brother) who is set up as the rival on pretty much nothing and has no screen presence, compared to Meijin. Meijin is the best part of this show, even! A lot of the best parts of Try are just hanging off S1, with the big tease at the end being "Sei noticed them!"
It wasn't all bad, music was great and the show looked fine, but compared to S1 it loses out in every single way.

The only thing I know of Try is that one Gundam that did the Liverblow-Gazelle Punch-Dempsey Roll and that it was so fucking hype...except that there were no jet engine noises. C'mon Sunrise, you had one job! They're fucking robots, how the hell did no one put two and two together.
I agree with most of that and I still think it was pretty enjoyable. S1 had just as much asspulls, if not more though. It never really bothered me since Build Fighters has always been about the SHOUNEN HEARTO, especially Try which seems to get a lot of influence from G Gundam (never seen it).
It's just an incredibly simple show and it's hard for me to get mad at it. As long as it continues to deliver fun fights, I'll be satisfied. Also worth noting that GBF:Try is unfinished as far as I know. They were hyping up the World Tournament a bunch in the second half so it's probably gonna get another season. Hopefully then we'll see more interesting rivals, and more of the team dynamic.

Wasn't Parasyte finally animated because they made some shitty live-action movies around the same time?

Is that fan-made, or official? It's amazing either way.

When's the John Cena anime gonna make it on Toonami?
I think what you're looking for is "Wanna Be the Strongest in the World!"
It features Cena and Jim Ross.
XD
It would have to fall under an imaginary Toonami After Dark hour at 4 AM ET.

I want an adaptation of the John Cena dating sim
Trainwreck?
Also, Happy Toonami Day everyone. Some good stuff tonight if memory serves.
First week of part-time job finished. Almost gotten used to sleeping from 8 or 9 a.m. to about 3 or 4 p.m. Awesomely, from what my friend told me, I WILL get Sunday nights off now, meaning I won't miss any of Toonami now, excluding sudden call-ins. Yaaayyy.
That is freakin' adorable & the fact it's official is even better.

Yes, but in the end it still meant we got a largely faithful adaptation of the manga. I don't care if its passion project, nostalgia exploitation, tie in to shitty live action movie, or whatever I just like seeing manga series that never got anime adaptations/full adaptations finally get them.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the wrong night.
Ushio and Tora is similar. It is nice people are actually going back to COMPLETED manga and doing adaptations since it usually means less chance of filler endings. The biggest 'flaws' is when the adaptation tends to show its age. I'll get into this in Parasyte when it airs. Ushio and Tora has been pretty great adaption though. The only thing that gave me pause is the fact Ushio managed to get a spear through airport security. Truly a different time.
Well, Sunday night = Sunday at 1 a.m. to the employees. Shifts start around Midnight to 2 a.m. depending on when the last movie finishes.
So like today, it was considered Saturday "night" because I went in at 1:15 a.m. Took me a while to understand what they were saying since I know we like to say "Saturday night" despite technically most of Toonami airing on Sunday.

Kind of paints the picture that Mako never felt alone or lonely before Ryuko, she had herself and her family, Ryuko coming along just feels like a bonus.
Also shit I gotta catch up with toonami from last week.
Yeah, I was going to say, that sounded really confusing and I almost thought you weren't posting right because of sleep, haha

Well, there was also a point in Ushio and Tora where the main character tried to call someone's cellphone and she just happened to not hear it, conspicuously covering up the fact that the original series took place before cellphones were around. But yeah, otherwise it works well enough in modern times so far.

It is plagued with bad writing (KENN's character ought to have been a main) but it was one of 2014's best anime osts though.
OK, tonight's AgK is where I stopped. I don't remember the reason why I dropped it. I think it was because I wasn't getting into it and didn't understand why people were hyping the manga up. There was probably other shows going on that I think I wanted to watch more. Maybe I just ran out of patience, I don't know. At least I have a group watch to continue on after this. I swear this thread makes everything more enjoyable to watch, hahaha
