You're close. Apparently, the Gainax staff watched Drawn Together and were inspired to create an anime that was as explicit and raunchy as the show.

I knew it.
That's what I was think of when I was watching the show.
Drawn together makes a lot of sense.
watching episode 4
so wait a minute
I'm confused, they spent the whole episode acting like this girl had a crush on Kirito and then she's like "I got to have my very own big brother"
and they had about four too many "oh no my skirt/he almost saw my underwear" moments
also, vine monster AND this weird tongue-looking plant in one episode?
also, is this dude just going to keep getting powered up offscreen?
you know what it fucking feels like? it feels like the actual anime is happening offscreen and all the one-off filler episodes are what we actually get to see
like, we should have seen a couple different arcs between like first floor and now
like one where he meets/joins the assault team and another when he gets that battle regen ability
so wait a minute

Panty and Stocking is so weird. It's easily described as "What if Gainax made a Adult Swim show?", to the point that everyone thought it was intentionally done for its inevitable airing. Sadly for Gainax, they made it during anime's lowest point of popularity in America.
So I finished Hunter X Hunter tonight. Won't bother catching up with the extremely brief bit between the end of the anime and where the manga ended up.
Honestly, it's a pretty good place to end the series if you had to make a choice as it ends up where it should end up. The final arc in general is really good.
My initial impressions of watching the show were that the opening and ending sucked. This isn't quite right. The first ending was so awful it made me dislike the opening, which is pretty great in the end. My next impression was that the show is SHONEN AS FUCK, which is dead center on the mark. Another thing that struck me early on was that the show was a total sausage fest, which luckily does change after the second arc.

HxH is the platonic form of Shonen bro.
Main character is 12, looking for his dad, wears shorts all the time, never gives up, bolieves in the power of friendship conquering all, talks with his fists, and is looking for his deadbeat dad. No sells injuries like John Cena, is a genius of training. I can go on and on.
The first ending is WRETCHED.

Did I say this before? I so looked at my PS3 as my partner in participation of P5, saying screw next-gen... and then the PS4 announcement happened...and I felt sorry for my PS3...

Well of course, Gon is the quintessential action shonen protagonist, which makes everything that happens with him and the world around him much more interesting. HxH deconstructs and reconstructs plenty of shonen tropes.
There's no cure for bad taste in music.

There is a reason for that actually
The original shorty story/book covered the first two episodes, then skipped and covered the last few. Years down the line when he decided to write more content for SAO aka the second book he decided to do a bunch of side stories to fill the gap in the original book that he skipped to help fill out the world of SAO.
The assessment of this feeling like one off filler is pretty much on the money. Even if they are technically canon they were written later after he had finished the main SAO story and shoved in later to give fans more adventures with Kirito in SAO.
The Attack on Titan manga
has become weirdly self-aware.
In what seems like forever, the latest chapter actually brought up the basement. One character goes "the basment? Is that important?" and another responds "uhh yeah". It's like the author himself was acknowledging "oh yeah, that's an important plot point I introduced"

Its kind of annoying at this point to be honest.
Dude knows exactly what he's doing.
I'm just glad he's aware
of how shitty and useless Eren is to the story based on some of the recent Eren dialogue.
If by that you mean a trainwreck then I believe we have already seen that.
BLEACH MANGA TALK!
Though it would be glorious to see Aizen again.
It single handily got me interested in the Bleach Manga for the first time...ever.

So, those of you who wanted Parasyte on Toonami............
You better hope they form that Sentai partnership soon.

And Parasyte is pretty good
Parasyte had like 5 total minutes of action through the first 12 episodes. Also the completely unacceptably idiotic female characters destroyed an already boring show.
I've enjoyed it despite its shortcomings. I think it would fit in well enough with the Toonami block.
People would bail so hard since the first half has just about no action.
And they didn't go so well.
SAO was great at pretending to have action. Parasyte can't hide the fact that it has none.
Not only would Viz sit on Hunter X Hunter this long, they've actually done exactly that with Hunter X Hunter before.
Viz is out of the picture unless they were straight up lying about getting outbid for it.

Truth.
THAT HxH DOESN'T EXIST, FRIEND.
It poisoned my mind with its awfulness so many years ago.

WITCH
ROBIN
BACK
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, this isn't even the first time it's happened to this franchise with one of those big licensors.
Every time Sentai FIlmworks get their hands on a title my soul dies a little more.
