"p5a" meant Persona 5 ANIMATION, NOT Arena?
WE NEVER SAW IT COOOMMMIINNNGGG
I look forward to it. I enjoyed the P4 one, though heard very mixed reactions to Golden's anime (which is understandable, it's basically NG+ so the pacing can feel really off & it really depends on how much you like Marie + the new content).
My only question is how they'll handle social links since half of them required you to go into Mementos to complete a request in order to progress & I'd argue they feel more important to the MC/story compared to P4 due to how they help you & your party out, like learning gun skills.

I doubt the P5 anime comes to Toonami, but who knows? Weirder things have happened.

ToonamiGAF Podcast's Toonami 5th Anniversary Show Ranking!
[Episode 66]
Grexeno, Seda, ckohler, and B-Dubs just spent SIX HOURS ranking the around 45 shows that have aired since the rebirth of Toonami in the order they aired. However, we did not include DB Super, Lupin the 3rd or Stardust Crusaders due to their "newness" and a couple of shows (Jojo and Jack) were split due to their seasons being radically different.
This list reflects are our four combined opinions. We made cases for and against each show and all four of us had to make compromises to reach a consensus. You can listen to our debate by downloading the following two MP3 files. These will also be available in the podcast feed.

I still want to throw hands at the people that ranked Eureka 7 that low, but I'll just sit here in my Horizon Zero Dawn shirt and just throw a side eye at y'all minus B-Dubs.
Still better than Uwe Boll making a video game adaptation.
......how in the world did he make THREE Bloodrayne films?
Also Steins;Gate was a great adaptation. I really look forward to seeing how Steins;Gate 0 turns out.

How the fuck did Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Madsen and Ben Kingsley end up in it?
Everybody's got bills to pay

Kingsley did prove that his dignity ain't worth much.

Of course it's based upon Persona 5

in case anyone wants to make any comparisons, here is the Toonami Showdown's ranking (which we are also going to update soon-ish + combine some stuff)

I'm not sure...I just thought she'd pick better shit to die in.
Why is Tokyo Ghoul on the list if Dragon Ball Super isn't for being too new?
I think the rationalization was we've seen 70% of Tokyo Ghoul and we kinda know what to expect going forward where Dragon Ball Super we've only seen movie recaps.
Hell we have no idea how long super will end up being

i dunno about One Piece being so far up there, especially above Hunter x Hunter, with its massive pacing issues for hundreds of episodes
That and Inuyasha are too high imo, but otherwise I don't have many problems.
This, and also if they hadn't decided to get both seasons we may have ended up ranking just Season 1 in an alternate universe.
We didn't consider anything past Thriller Bark.

Personally, I would've put Shippuden above the likes of Bleach and IGPX.
Definitely. Bleach and Shippuden suffer from very similar problems, but I'd say the highs of Shippuden are far better than the highs of Bleach.
Literally everything in Shippuden except Immortals has a ceiling at "meh" and a floor of "fucking unwatchable."
Yeah, the Sonic Boom cartoon is pretty decent.

I liked the 1 episode of P4 Golden I watched- it seemed like a NG+ playthru of the game, where the MC had all of his stats maxed out so he could be a jerk to everyone, and had powerful summons so he could walk through the game. No idea if the actual show ended up being like that, but the one episode was cool?
Also, if we throwing out all videogame anime adaptations, that means throwing away the greatest anime OP ever, the english opeining of Street Fighter 2 V(ictory) (not to mention, the show itself is pretty rad even if a little werid)
Top 2 are the only correct answers (I'd flip them but its a debate). I'm impressed SAO made it out of the bottom 5
We've watched some real awful garbage on this block

All these years and it is happening.
Quick! Everybody into the happening bunker.
For me there are several factors that raise SAO from being lower: The animation and music are quite good and Yukki and her arc (aside from Super AIDS) elevated the show some towards the end. Also, it's probably the most entertaining hate-watch we've had. Shows below SAO on our list are mostly a slog to even get through.
Yeah while SAO may be the worst show we ever watched it takes up a The Room quality of how enjoyable of a hatewatch it turned out to be.
Unicorn on the other hand has stuff going for it but was boooooooring for a show about giant robots. Tokyo Ghoul could reach SAO levels of badness if the recent episodes are any indication.
SAO & Akame ga Kill were good examples of "these shows are bad, but they're ENJOYABLE at how bad they are", I laughed so many times at AgK's attempt to be cool or the fights with Justice Girl.
Meanwhile, TG Root A & Unicorn are the dull kind of bad, which is worse because you're experiencing NO EMOTIONS while watching it. I just couldn't bring myself to comment on Unicorn anymore to the point I just said "screw it" & dropped it because I was so uninvested. Meanwhile, I wanted to see where SAO was going because I was interested in what direction the show was going to take next & if it got worse.

I would also argue that most of the judgement has been from the first season. The first season at least had its moments of "lol look how edgy it's trying to be", but S2 is just booorrriinngggg.
They should also air Roberta's Blood Trail.

I don't think One Piece should be above HxH either.
Preach.

The fact that Black Lagoon didn't apparently do well is fascinating to me.
Black Lagoon was practically made for Toonami.
