Is this supposed to be funny? Because that felt like your typical me too abridged series with someone who isn't funny
Why do you think TFS put the series on indefinite hiatus?
They claim it's "legal issues", but most people didn't like the first episode so it's very likely dead.
Why... is it annoying? As long as Inuyasha has been an Adult Swim Anime Staple, I always found it nice to see it stay a part of the thread, even if it's not "official".
It's probably the most relevant of the non-Saturday Toonami topics that occurs in this thread at any time, haha. Sexy Tooth Faries, Batman's Misadventures in novels, Private life dealings, or rankings of modern day cartoons are all much less Toonami related, but they work in this thread too... somehow... you know, I'm not sure how they manage that.

Now to tie my own life experiences into Toonami-related relevance, WOHOO!
I have to grin at the amount of SAO cosplay I saw this weekend too. Though the clear cosplay numbers winner was the ability to put on an Anti-Titan corps jacket and some 3D maneuvering gear, and be included. I also saw a Space Dandy, which at least made me happy. A well-made Voltron, a Revy, A few armies of Sailor scouts, Batsu and Akira from Rival Schools, and basicallyy the entire main cast of Excel Saga as a single group... good times.
It was interesting hearing the Animego discussion on why they don't have their shows directly on streams and such. We all know by now they don't really make much money, and mostly serve as advertising... but it's nice to hear it from the horses mouth, so to speak. For a company that started as a joke between friends due to the procurement of some video overlay equipment, going to Sci-Fi with Fancy new shows that you're sure would make THEM money... and then getting asked "Well, how much are you going to pay the network to show it?" was jarring. Felt a lot like Toonami Tumblr Q&A session, without the "WHEN'S KAI!?!" questions!

In all the community threads I've been in they start to fall apart or become filled with animosity the moment people start complaining about what is and isn't talked about in the thread at every given moment. I have not seen anything discussed from 8-9 on sundays even on the week or two when we didn't group watch, and what typically is discussed on sunday is what? rankings? I've seen other people watch things that were solely formerly on Toonami, heck I recall someone watching and critiquing Tenchi Muyo GPX , wonder who that was.
The other thing we could do now that most of the regular Inuyasha members are free is just blow off the remaining episodes in one or two sittings in the near future. I wouldn't mind doing the regular two next week and then watching the entire rest of the series the next week.

I don't mind InuGAF using the thread for their group watch but I guess the final say is going to reside with Seda. I don't see it as any different than when Man God was reviewing Naruo filler, Bass was watching GXP, or I was slogging through missed Blue Exorcist episodes.
Animazement, Raleigh NC, from Friday until Today! I've been going Yearly since like... 2001? So it's a very well accepted part of my life by now, heh heh.

i can see where Bass is coming from since it's treated more like how we post during Toonami, and everything else will get lost in the shuffle. but at the same time, it's only like an hour or so each week.

Its different writing a one post review catching up on a show that people missed on Toonami vs an hour of live post by the same 2-3 people which normally interrupts any conversations about the previous days shows. I mean Seda came down hard on the other group watch posts in here going as far as to delete them and saying to use twitter to largely communicate outside of the occasional reminder post here
A lot of people actually liked it.

It just bothers me that 1 goddamn hr of a 24/7 thread bothers someone so much they literally can't just go do something else, they need it stopped. Do you know the bullshit that happens in this thread that I put up with be it on off hours or during Toonami that I just decide to put up with or stay silent because hey, I can just not be involved during that time? When people are being exceedingly creepy/pervy at an exceedingly higher level in an obnoxious/uncomfortable way. I'm either nowhere to be found, play along or just try to focus on the shows. I don't tell people to tone it down during black lagoon because the excessive praise, talking about planet size balls, etc are becoming a huge turn off. I don't bother ranking the shows or reading all the arguments for why insert show was shit or the best or how much I don't get why people like x. When people are saying something weirdly sexist , transphobic, etc unless it's really problematic I typically say "sure, fine, whatever" and let it slide, because hey, i'm a minority here in many aspects and it's likely not worth it. But sure, whatever.

My future tattoo.
I recognize most of those symbols, though a few I'm stumped on lol
Does it honestly bother you?
Seda only did that because they were using..............less than legal methods to watch.

I get most of them outside of a small few. Where you gonna put a tattoo that big?

Whoever can guess all the symbols gets a cookie.

The bigass
Wings of Freedom/recon corp
One Piece Pirate
Lagoon Company Pirate sign/Revy's cutless pirate sign
Everything else:
I want to say Blue Exocist is the face on the right of the WoF
Belt looking thing is Bleach?
Can't tell the rest
I'd be down for this. Up to the other members though.
Wait, are we watching Final Act, or just ending with the original cartoon?

There is a possibility of Final Act coming to Toonami better to hold off on that

Ohhhhh I thought that's what that was from
Naruto and Gurren Lagaan at the top. Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, and K anime at the sides. FMA in the middle. Code Geass at the bottom.
*edit*
Oh and that heart thing, from Madoka?
I knew something about glasses/fire part up on top looked familiar, haven't seen GL yet but I know some of the art and style sort of.

During GXP you weren't just posting reviews per episode, it was live commentary. I think trying to put a limit on what people can and cannot talk about in here is a slippery slope; if you don't like a particular conversation there is always the option of leaving the thread for a bit. I can see how it's annoying to watch the same 3 or 4 people live post about Inuyasha because everything else gets lost in the shuffle but it's only once a week for an hour. Not a big deal.

Gonna repost this, but this guy makes awesome Adult Swim/Toonami inspired tracks. Give it a listen

Pretty sure the fire balls around the top are from Naruto, the fire inside is from Gurren Lagann, wings are from Attack on Titan, Ks are from K, the bird on the left is Fairy tail, face on the right is soul eater, realistic skull and crossbones is black lagoon, and the straw hat logo is from one piece.
I know I've seen both the cross with the snake and the v at the bottom before but damn I can't place them right now and I'll be pissed when someone points them out. I believe the strap references SAO? And I have no idea what the m or the multi color heart represent
Edit: Holy shit how did I forget Code Geass and FMA AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'll admit I got out of hand with my postings about GXP and I felt bad about it after the fact and I've since tried to not to derail the thread like that again. I was wrong to do it then even if people got some laughs out of it I wish I had just stuck to episode reviews or even just a series review at the end.

Hint: There are two anime that you guys haven't mentioned yet that were technically on Adult Swim at one point.

Yeah I looked through the whole list and still don't recognize those symbols, not seen enough of the shows adult swim has aired
Woo, what are the last two series I want to know, I guess just pm me

You guessed 11 out of 13, Bass, so you were pretty close.

I'm not down for shit until I'm also catered to instead of just doing something else for a damn hour.
Back home, my impressions from last night
Attack on Titan- Why do I even watch this show when they literally show EVERYTHING that is going to happen in the preview? This was probably the best episode so far other than that massive issue
Cooler's Revenge- Because I don't really have nostalgia for DBZ, I can just come out and say that this movie was utter dogshit. Terrible animation, terrible story, terrible "action". It's lone redeeming quality was it's short length, which is something most terrible films miss out on. Also shows how far dubs have come in the recent years- this one was really poor. If the job of this was to get me excited for DBZ Kai, I guess the power hour of unwatchable shows will continue once it replaces Bleach.
That Stoner Music video- I sent a complaint to Demarco about this, asking why this was shown during a TV-Y7 broadcast among other things. Painful to watch.
One Piece, Shippuden ZzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzzZ
Blue Exorcist- The weakest episode in a while. At least it leaves on a cliffhanger that promises to have some lasting impact on the series.
All in All, a terrible week of Toonami. Will watch Black Lagoon later this week.

Never seen Durarara so I never would have gotten that, and yeah that's a really good catch on BE I honestly can't think of any scenes that show it off at all
I'm surprised no ones made a "Bleach is DBZ with swords" joke...or maybe "DBZ is Bleach without swords" since DBZ is replacing Bleach.
