The servlet substantiates the other schedule leaks

Y'know I love shonen anime episode names just because of how dumb they are. It could be an episode about catching fish or something and the name would be
FIGHT! MASSIVE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE UNSTOPPABLE FISH?
Could be? Didn't the episode with the bath scene already air lol
Ooh, next episode of Kill la Kill I actually thought was pretty good.
So... you're saying there's a chance?

Nothing, grexeno. Just explaining my joke to the others. Go back to your regularly scheduled whatever.
Well anything could happen.

Well the ending never aired on TV.
That explains why I never noticed it before.

The ending does a very good job of explaining the premise of the show, especially after the what the fuck ending of the 1st episode.
The Space Dandy ED also basically loops itself. It ends basically where it began, so you can do this to it.
I recently got into an argument over whether Misaka is a feminist character or not. People have a lot of blind spots when it comes to Titan and will overlook a lot of really dumb shit.
While "people turning into a Titan" is an interesting idea with interesting applications (how well that has been realized is up to debate) the story would have been better off if Eren stayed dead. He is literally a ball & chain on Mikasa's (and others) character.

The One Piece thread is pretty ridiculous
Her design is good but her entire character p. much revolves around boring-ass Eren
This was my argument, the other guy was trying to say this wasn't the case with her. The whole while making arguments backing me up without realizing it.

I discovered Attack on Titan for the first time when it started airing again on Toonami. After around 5-6 episodes on Toonami I watched the rest subbed on Netflix. Haven't seen the rest dubbed but so far I like it subbed more.
Dandy US ending was better. I guess I liked how the tune was kind of jazzy and appropriate to the feel of the show.
After the Toonami premiere, I too saw the rest on Netflix during the week. I spent one day on "The Stuggle for Trost," - God, what a cheesy name - and maybe it's just me, but marathoning it didn't feel like it dragged as much as it did when it aired on Toonami. I was too into it to care and just wanted to keep going until the end. I will admit it was kind of stupid that an arc like that lasted 9 episodes.
I actually wanted to watch it a 2nd time on Toonami because A) I was curious about the dub script, and B) I didn't feel that much tension and anxiety from viewing anymore and my goal this time around was to just kick back, relax, and catch some dumb stuff that I missed on the first viewing.
Also, Gamagoori the drill seargeant Keith. Still love that major malfunction line, haha
US opening is still superior >
... I like Namida too.

If I remember correctly that episode is.....wait a minute...
Oh shit....
No one miss Kill la Kill that week.
I've been looking forward to that scene more than the one last week to see how it gets edited.

I agree, actually.
The Japanese OP is of course, superior as well. It's just too damn catchy.

Is that what I think it is?
The song's lyrics are in the form of questions posed to physicist Hugh Everett who first proposed the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics.

So I just saw this list of U.S. anime/manga releases on ANN and realized that Sentai is the one that licensed Haikyuu!!, and with Akame ga Kill happening, the -obvious- next step is for Haikyuu!! on Toonami! Make it happen, Powers That Be! Dun care if it has an English dub or not! Do it!
But seriously, Haikyuu!! is my fave sports shounen (It's so. damn. good. Can't wait for the second series.), I'd put it on the block if I could.
Shhh, don't remind me of the incredible track record sports shounen have here. Let me revel in my daydream!

If we're gonna have a sports series, it needs to be Ippo.

The next logical Sentai show is Parasyte lets be real here
*sniff* I know the feeling, Dandy, you aren't the only onEEEEHHH I MEAN SO WHO'S READY FOR TOMORROW WOOO?Speaking of Dandy,
Such a fucking poser.
You're right. A show that actually has character development and a plot that develops organically from the characters has no place on current Toonami.
Hmm, I remember the main character having the exact same struggles over and over and over again, and the female characters all being so incredibly dumb as to break the show.
It was a twenty-four-episode anime that took place over a few months. How many different "struggles" do you need the main character to have? It was an anime that actually had a pretty good pace, which is rare.
Yes, he dealt with what was basically the same struggle about balancing his humanity and the influence of the parasyte, but there was plenty of nuance within that overall plot point, all of which came out of character.
Even Migi had a good character arch.
Satomi wasn't a great character, but she was made to be an ideal. They could have done more with her.
Your classification of Reiko and Kana is completely off, though. Unlike Satomi, they actually developed while existing in the show.

Yes Haikyuu!! is definitely needed, I wish they had dubbed it, I was dying to hear who they would have picked for Tsukki and Kuroo.
Best SAO con exhibit, All the different Kiritos with Kirito is one of the best parts to the franchise.
also eugeo
"Are you the real Shinichi-kun?"
To be fair, there are a lot of worse shows than Parasyte, including ones that have already aired on Toonami or soon will (Akame ga Kill). But overall.....meh.
Shinichi and Migi had their ups and downs but overall they were good characters. It's everything else that's the issue.
Weak Direction
Inconsistent Animation
REALLY odd Sound Direction and Mixing (I did like a lot of individual songs from the OST though)
Every female character except Reiko was the literal WORST
Most of the male characters were pretty shit too
Thematically repetitious with NO sense of subtleness
Like again, the show isn't an abomination or anything and has its moments but overall its way too flawed to be anything but ok overall.
Bring Bloodsport anime to Toonami.
