Black Lagoon was made for the US audience.
Man, now that tunnel hole of theories is coming back to me.

Implying teenager have taste
They should leave it to us grown men and women who argue about cartoons on the internet to decide about stuff totally relevant to the target demographic
HxH is much more enjoyable overall, where as OP, despite having great characters & fights, just had a good amount of pacing issues at times.
Though I blame that more on how Toei adapted it more so than the actual content.

Black Lagoon is for men that finished growing their pubes.
Black Lagoon is still one of my favorite "old" shows that I discovered thanks to Toonami along side HxH. Not counting dub premieres since that'd be cheating a bit. It's a shame it never got the rerun slot, it's been long enough where I'd love to give it another watch with you guys.
Man last night's Shippuden episode was legit excellent. I've seen gifs/clips from the episode so I was aware of it but I've never seen the episode in its entirety. I can't believe people ever gave this episode shit. Anime fans are the worst >_<
I refuse to read the comments but LOL at this clip. This show gives no fucks!

We should run Jormmugand, it's less impressive and disappointing sister who is still hot
Probably a good idea
I think it speaks more to HxH that it's that high up already when we're not even halfway through the series or have had its best arc yet

ah, alright, that makes sense
on the other hand, I think the filler in Shippuden is way worse than the majority of Bleach and I think the Hidan and Kakuzu arc is the only canon arc to actually be good and/or be adapted particularly well

HxH is timeless. I'd put it up there with Bebop. It's 20 years old and still does things better tHan the shows that copied it.
Yeah but I kinda expected more plus didn't care for the second season when it start taking itself little serious with an arc and remove focus from the entertaining crew and an ending I didn't care for

Doesn't Jormungand end with some
Metal Gear-esque destroy the war economy ending?
It ruined the second season when you realize how dumb it is
I realize koko
was supposed to be a but idealistic and probably naive which makes no sense for her but the plan was dumb as shit and i live how her brother pretty much explained in like 3 minutes how dumb it was
And it was dumb as shit and maybe pretentious plus wouldn't accomplish that and just made things worse sh that and just made things worse

They should just air Full Metal Panic.

I'll have you know I meant all three shows when I typed that.
As well you should have. That'd be a good two years worth of content, maybe it should replace HxH when it finishes next year.
Oh damn, there's the new season coming too!

I'll be looking forward to the Kaname vs Teletha discussions...
FTFY. Though seriously, R&M is on now.
As voted on by me.
Sword Art Online is also technically two different series but 45 is a round number. Jim Jams can go either way. Unfortunately for Attack on Titan Season 2 it isn't a separate series. Thirty-Seven is the number at which things start to slide into the I never want to ever watch this again territory but the only show I refuse to watch again is Thundercats.

I'd likely give it best really really long running series.
but I think FMA beats it pretty soundly for me for shonen in general.
but what do I know. I would rank space dandy below both sword art online and akame ga kill lol.
heck tokyo ghoul anime might be above space dandy for me as I hated space dandy and it's one of the biggest disappointments for me ever.
so much talent involved, so very little good about it

Brotherhood's ending is incredibly neat and 2003's is incredibly convoluted. Rock and a hard place right there.
I love the ending of 2003. It just sucks that the movie basically ruins it and doesn't even really provide the happy ending you'd think it would.
They're both bad ¯\_(ツ
_/¯'03 FMA has the better pretty much everything else, though.
Don West had the best gore screamOne of us, one of us.
Might as well announce it now.
After Trigun (Should be doing two of them tomorrow night, releasing one on Monday and one on Tuesday) I'm going to quickly finish Naruto.
After Naruto I am going to watch every filler episode of Bleach, covering each story rather than each episodes. This means the wacky one offs will get a ton of coverage and the big ass boring arcs will just get ridiculous gifs and an overview. I expect to do those five or ten episodes at a time.
After that...It's time to do the superior Full Metal Alchemist. These Blu Rays are going to gif themselves.

I don't get the 2003 FMA love fam. More power to you guys, I guess.
I can't reconcile how the reincarnation trinkets are handled. It's a good idea in concept but the execution for both Bradley and Sloth don't work for me.
I still think the show is real good.
Ignoring the bones ending, it had better direction, music, and atmosphere. Pacing was also better for the early stuff.
When I think about FMA, THIS is the first thing to come to mind. Brotherhood doesn't have any track anywhere near as memorable.

Me either. I can understand Man God because he's like the Bizarro Superman of ToonamiGAF but the rest, wuh?! why?!?! FMAB was soooo much better.

I thought the Music and Direction were better in the Bones adaptation. Only thing I give the 2003 series is better pacing early on.
That and I absolute hate the twist in the 2003 series concerning the Homonculi.
Both are Bones adaptions lol

Different art direction lol
Fine though, yeah i much prefer the way the plot utlimately plays out in Brotherhood. A lot of the reveals in the 2003 series with the Homonculi and Scar just didn't do it for me. And Wrath in particular I just straight up hated.
