Oh right, new anime season. *checks to see what's airing*
....new season of Working, yes!....wait, new season of Gatchaman Crowds? Interesting.....I guess I'll give Shimoneta a go, I need a good "stupid" anime to watch every once in a while....few more days until Prison School.
Nothing else really sticks out or I'll just read/look at the episode overview for certain shows.

Bring Ushio and Tora to Toonami.
NOW.
I'm looking forward to watching this one. It's by the same director as Hajime no Ippo. I know nothing about the manga but it seems like it has potential to get hype as fuck.

Yeah about 5 minutes into Ushio and Tora I thought "Sentai licensed this? Yep it's coming to Toonami"
39 episodes tho

So? That didn't stop them from airing Soul Eater, or Eureka 7, or Clone Wars.

guys i haven't watched anime outside of Toonami for like four months.
Ok, Soul Eater and Eureka 7 were early in nu-Toonami, and Clone Wars was able to sit in the back of the lineup.
It's one of mangaGAF's most recommended shonen series. It's literally one of the best put together series in the genre, I guarantee you guys will love it.
I'm worried about that too but only because I want a full adaptation. It sounds like the writer is heavily involved and has been choosing what stuff to cut and what stuff to merge into other parts of the story.
Seriously, Ushio and Tora is amazingly good. We'd be so lucky if we got it. It's the anti-SAO from a writing perspective.

I don't think a 39 episode series constitues a long runner where they'd be afraid to pick it up due to having too many long runners. Especially when we've all discussed them picking up Jojo and thats at 60+ episode show between its two seasons

I think they'd pick up another long runner if they knew that it would do really well.
Plus Toonami needs more MANLY 90's-style anime.
J-Stars is making me interested in checking out some anime/manga, like Sket Dance, among ones that've been in more crossovers/are sort of the "legacy" franchises.
I wish the Fist of the North Star OVA/movie would air. It's great.
So I'm watching the first episode of Ushio and Tora now to see how they did and holy shit, we have got to get this on Toonami. The OP is hardcore as fuck and I've got this huge smile on my face. This is literally the anti-SAO.
We need to start bugging DeMarco so this can happen.

Sket Dance is decent. It's very similar to Gintama, except it's a school setting, a bit more down to earth, is more focused on waifus, and instead of big action arcs every once in a while it has super tragic childhood flashbacks. And not as good, honestly. It also has pretty good OPs. The anime doesn't cover all of the manga, which I believe is still going on.
Megas was like a decade ahead of it's time. If it came out on Toonami today it'd be Dandy tier and never would have been cancelled. I so pissed we never got to see Coop accidentally put the Glorft on the path of universal domination.
Got it, so read To-Love-Ru instead, especially Darkness!

But Space Dandy was a failure and we'll never see more of it ever again.
Man, J-Stars has some seriously random/filler battles.
"HEY, so you know the two villains you just fought?! So guess what? Now that you've beaten them, you get to do a fight PLAYING AS ONE VILLAIN FIGHTING THE OTHER TO SEE THAT THEY JOINED FORCES!!"
Like seriously, it feels like such padding. It's also a shame the cameos are basically "Hey, can you do a mission kthxbye".

I've watched two spring anime. Don't plan on watching anything new this summer season.
May I introduce you to the wit and charm of Shimoneta?
Pfft, they need to go watch the MANLINESS OF USHIO AND TORA
Look at that shit, look at it!

It was Bleach before Bleach was even a thing.
It was also a billion times better and more MANLY.
Oh man, this is gonna be on par with Seitokai Yakuindomo in terms of "Dirty Jokes: The Anime", isn't it?May I introduce you to the wit and charm of Shimoneta?

It's not like the youkai thing was ever really original, even when YYH and Ushio and Tora were doing it a decade before Bleach
It's called A World Without the Concept of Dirty Jokes so yes
It's called A World Without the Concept of Dirty Jokes so yes
I can't decide between this and last season's Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? for most anime anime title of all time
Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a World Without the Concept of Dirty Jokes?
I await the day we get "Anime Was a Mistake It's Nothing But Trash", a 13 episode drama about the horrors of Otaku culture.
It will go over soooo many heads.

Watch Blood Blockade Battlefront, yo. It's pretty fun.
Honestly, you're not missing much after Cell.
A World Without the Concept of Picking Up Girls in a Dungeon.
I haven't seen DBZ past where we are now on Toonami.

Buu arc is kinda drawn out. I'd just read the manga version.
Imperial Bishop

Whoa, man. I wouldn't go that far.
Yeah, you're right.
Even better! >
I'd say wait until Toonami reaches the Buu Saga in Kai, but that will be years from now.
Somehow, every DBZ video game I've ever played has never gone past the Cell stuff either.
Considering that it works as a perfect end to the series, I dont even care about what happens next.
Eh, you didn't miss much outside of Gohan goofing around at the start of the arc.
Eh, I'd go further than a billion but I figured I'd low ball it.

The most horrifying and nail biting scene in all of JoJo. Jesus Christ I almost had a sheer heart attack.
I'd watch all of the Gohan filler, the best filler, then wait for Kai's US release.
