It's been a while since I watched DTB, but I remember the main character goes from a hardened badass to a
serious drunk who is constantly slapping women around.

Did you ever make that HD version of the HxH gif about this?
I see that same sentiment around the internet.
Is that Metroid Prime possessing a Chozo corpse?
I bought S1 at a cheap price, and I heard that the dub was good enough to be on TV.
What in the hell are those colors on your face?

Toonami Series in a Nutshell:

There's a longer list featuring every Toonami show, but no way was I going to copy and paste all of that.

straight up tell them its a waste of money
Tell him the ending is original and that he MUST spend money on another show immediately.
He mentioned one of the Hallow games...
Honestly, the people who like SAO are your average consumer
Here is your daily reminder your average teenage/young adult american you give SAO to falls in love immediately and is unable to change their opinion as the show gets worse until you spell it out for them, at which point they say they hate it past season 1 as if it's a given.
Honestly, most people are bad about forming their own opinions nowadays. I know people who go into games as X or Y is good/bad based on the metascore vs their true enjoyment. As in if the games meta is 65, they have a weird mental block to saying it's a good game automatically.

But even those that I find to have taste don't seem to notice how obscenely flawed the show is. I've said this before but it feels like I'm living in the Body Snatchers with this franchise. 1000 years of the evolution of fiction being shitted every moment this TV show remains a resounding success when people you trust are also blinded to it's shittiness.
I finished listening to all 4+ hours of the ToonamiGAF Awards.
It was fun.
I've listened to several Toonami podcasts in the past and this thankfully avoided some of the trappings I don't enjoy like people not focusing on the block (usually talking about themselves) or some hosts simply being apathetic or disinterested. Here, everyone was very enthusiastic and passionate about discussing Toonami and its shows. I liked that a lot. I hope you won't mind some constructive criticism for next year.
FORMAT
Overall, you might want to consider a different methodology to the format. Having an open debate is interesting but it was very, very long winded and a lot of the time it resulted in people having to concede to giving up their favorite choices. Sometimes it was a vote and sometimes it wasn't. It was only "partially" democratic. I'm not really sure how to solve that issue but it's worth thinking about.
Another option might be to simply just let each panelists have their own personal set of winners and give each the opportunity to discuss them. Regardless, I do think I would prefer the show be like most other award shows where the results are already decided in advance and the presentation is about discussing the winners.
I recommend the host come prepared with clips to play (OPs, songs, nominated moments, etc.) to help liven up the show. I also have some podcast/media experience so if you guys need help next year, I'd be happy to assist.
RULE SUGGESTIONS
Here are a few new rules to consider:
Only stuff that actually aired on Adult Swim should be eligible. I think you did that for the most part but maybe an OP or two was let slip into being nominated.
I suggest a "Best Romance" or "Best Chemistry" category.
I suggest a "Best Song" category in addition or in place of Best Soundtrack.
This was discussed during the show but split up "Best Moment" into separate "Most Epic Moment" and "Most Funny Moment" categories.
Lastly, be sure and clearly define the qualifications for each category in advance. For example, when judging best opening each judge needs to consider more than just the song. They need to factor the quality of the animation, the tone it sets, and ultimately combination of those factors.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Rexino was a good host but it bothered me that he kept trying to nominate finalists or pick winners before even finishing listing the nominees or giving everyone an opportunity to chime in. However, that's probably less to do with Rexino and more to do with the whole open discussion format and the desire to move things along quickly. Like I said, I think it would work better of the deliberation wasn't the show.
I thought it was funny that even though there was a ton of talking over each other, everyone usually shut up every time Seda talked. He did't say a ton but when he did he had solid points that would ultimately lead the conversation in a good direction and he was funny. I didn't mind his tie-breakers.
I've heard Oni Actual before on the Toonami Rundown show so I already was aware of his personality. He's a very gruff and opinionated person but also fair and knowledgable. He's also almost the complete opposite of my tastes of all the panelists, lol.
I appreciated Imperial Biship's often differing opinion. He also seemed like a really nice guy and also fair. We share a lot of the same opinions.
Raxus I enjoyed your enthusiasm and I found myself agreeing with you a lot as well.
Ultimately, I think everyone had something good to bring to the conversation. Nobody sounded weird. You guys all sounded cool to me.

Huh, I made the Dean's (goddammit.) list last semester...
SEE GUYS! That intelligence test didn't know squat! Clearly this is a sign of my actual intelligence, and it's not because I took classes that the average chimp could pass.
Apparently there might have been one surviving Chozo in Metroid Prime originally. But we don't know for sure. It's speculation.

Also Wechsler was an ahole.
What kind of person names their test after themselves?

People are thirsty for that current-gen console JRPG that they'll tolerate mediocrity. Hell, I even bought Type-0 on day one and the game isn't even that good (though the FFXV demo is love)
Tell them to buy Shadow the Hedgehog instead.

Does anyone have last few year's data for the month of January by any chance? I'd like to see a comparison if the ratings drop is normal for January.
That first hour drop and Champloo's massive drop is all of the Bengals' and Steelers' fault. They caused me to scramble at the end of the game TWO MINUTES before the block started to find that Sinon running Toonami gif.
I hope the Packers and Cardinals can end at a reasonable time.

he watched and loved that. He is also right next to me.
good god he was browsing SAO2 for a bit.
Didn't know you advocated for torture. ^_^;

Make him go down deeper through this rabbit hole. Show him Future Diary and if he wants more brainless garbage tell him to start watching RAW on Mondays.
We have room for plenty down here.
BAH GAWD, why you wanna damage his brain even further? Enough's enough!

Future Diary on Toonami?
I don't know if I can find a train crash gif that's explosive enough.
*looks at the new character announcements for Pokken fighter*
Garchomp? Okay. Standard Mewtwo? Eh, alright. Braixen...
wut?
I just want these guys. The people just want these guys.

Just put them in the game. Give the people what they want.
"Oh come on, damn him! Aww man... That's pathetic. That's not funny! That's not funny!"
ToonamiGAF will explode if that happens.
