I acknowledged GXP in the other thread.
I think Beware the Batman messed up Batman's formula more than GXP screwed up Tenchi Muyo's formula.

Eh, that depends on a lot of things. Both basically peaked with their first version (if you count TAS as the origin point as there are obviously tons of Batman cartoons before it) and basically got worse and worse with each iteration. Especially apt in the visual department where each progressive series got lazier and lazier with the art. The plots also get dumbed down as they go along.
Honorary award to you than. Best use of the word Super AIDS.
Mother of God...
Eh, I doubt it. BtB was so short lived that it's just gonna go down as a forgettable series at best. Another day at the office for DC/WB.
Those last episodes of SAO II were hard to trudge through.

It feels weird seeing a Toonami thread not made by Seda. Oh well, New Toonami thread for a new year.
Also GXP is shit.

Got around to watching the Little Witch Academia shorts on Netflix.
Very enjoyable stuff, super cute and a treat to look at.
I'm left wanting more, but of course I'm also left wary of how these pieces exist as animation showcases, and by their nature aren't feasible as a series without impacting a big part of what makes them so good.
I'm also left thinking about some of the suffering inherent in being someone who would prefer to watch something dubbed. I was considering the effort it would take to search the forum and other social media for the reactions and opinions from when it had been first released, because at this point people have said their piece on it and are not likely to repost it, but decided against it. Much like how I have been lazy in getting around to watching multiple shows I had told myself I wanted to for the same reason, the social aspect takes a heavy blow. Of course, this applies to being "late" to any anime regardless of how you watch it, as the responses to a post about having watched an older thing always pale in comparison to the episode by episode reactions as it's airing.
With a healthy Toonami and Funi's simultaneous efforts it's actually better on that front than it has been for a long while, it's just a matter of whether or not the things you want to watch get those treatments so you can enjoy the group excitement and have the liveliest discussions.

of course i could also find some real personal friends who would listen to me ramble about having watched random stuff instead of posting it to forums
There is also a Making of Little Witch Academia documentary you should check out.
I highly recommend it.

1. I didn't even know Netflix started streaming it. Time for a re-watch.
2. This beauty is dubbed? WHO DID IT?

In typical Netflix fashion, the dub came out of no where. The VAs weren't allowed to announce that they were working on it.

Batman Beyond is debatabely equally as good as the original TAS. And while The Bat was worse then TAS or BB I'd say BaB was better then it. The batman cartoons are more up and down in quality then gradually getting worse. While I don't remember much of muyo/in space/in love/tokyo the bit I saw of geminar confirmed it was certainly better then GXP.
I wouldn't say either show messed up the formula for either series since by the time they aired we'd seen a wide variety of animated takes on both series that handled the material differently. The problem with both shows wasn't the formula change it was the execution. The only Batman show to change up the formula is Gotham since its not about Batman.

World Trigger is actually amazing. Once you get beyond the introductory episodes it really expands. The pace is pretty brisk and things stay intense.
I think the person who is doing their backgrounds and scenery does good especially whenever its a sunset type of moment.
How could anyone hate the cast

Watched LWA the other day. The first is a fun little thing, the second suffers a bit from simultaneously feeling a little padded to accommodate the longer run time while being not long enough to do a lot with a larger cast.

Both get accused of being a Mary Sue, but only one actually is.

Studio Trigger Warning
Happy New Year and all that jazz <3
Looking at the nominations, some categories are really hard to narrow down. For example there were a lot of quality fights. There were also A LOT of really bad moments :/
Is this an accurate dubbing? The end of that clip is like everything wrong with anime distilled into seconds :/
That conversation is really annoying for so many reasons. Leave it to GAF to blow it up into a 2k+ post thread :/
Amanda >>> Ryuko

Yoh Yoshinari said he was influenced by Kill la Kill (Ryuko) when he created Amanda.

Yoshinari > Imashi

Depending upon which part of that tweet you find dumb my answe is either yes or pot calling kettle black if you didn't get the joke
I didn't listen to the fan dub I just used a clip which is just one example of how BB is truly lowest common denominator the show. I think the best is the finale when
the big boobed lady goes yandere out of nowhere after killing her brother in a plot thread introduced in the final episode

Parasyte's cliffhanger has been eating away at me. I can only hope and fear that it gets dumber.
Lemme know when Tsukihi is a top tier in a fighting game.

Lies. Damned lies.
You can't deny it is the smartest anime in years.
