I'll quickly rank the winter shows I'm watching.

1. Monster Girls. Always enjoy watching this one.
2. Dragon Maid. This show is funny and colorful.
3. ACCA. Dope ass opening theme to this harem of politics show that's kinda boring.
4. Fuuka. I like this show...and I don't know why.

I've started watching Monster Girls and I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed it. The hug scene was a little sketch though.

For the sake of clarity is it bad because all of lwa is bad or is the tv show mediocre compared to the ova/films?

It's pretty much the same quality of the ovas with slightly lower animation quality because of obvious reasons, so I'm not sure the why it has the backlash it has here. It's pretty well received everywhere else and in the LWA thread.

I'm watching the dub and the main character has this deep porn voice. Inspired casting.

I've been watching the dub as well. This scene cracked me up the most

I take anime gaf's opinion about as far as I can throw them. I've not watched any lwa but from the people I trust on twitter who are into cute girl anime stuff like it those who are watching it enjoy it (others are waiting for netflix to release it here).

Interviews with Monster Girls? From what I know, the source manga for that was actually pretty good. The anime genericized the artstyle and added fanservice since the manga has none, though, so probably just going to read that.

Aahhhhahahahahaha

I just realized.

For ToonamiGaf's 50th episode....you get to celebrate by talking about the premiere of Tokyo Ghoul.

With episode 49 being about the Toonami 20th anniversary & OP's final episode.

....actually, that would be a fun time to include a big "how did you discover Toonami & what shows did ya watch?" discussion.

Mine was definitely biking home from elementary school everyday and watch the original Tom and the promos, intros, music videos, and speeches with Gundam Wing, Big O, and Tenchi Muyo.

That and fucking 77 episodes of the original Android and Cell Saga, DansGame

I don't remember very well, I think it was just a thing that came on TV and I watched as a kid.
Also, it was Toonami Asia.

I remember DBZ, One Piece, Pokemon, and various DCAU shows at least. I also remember I didn't like DBZ very much, but I really liked One Piece, lol. I think I was the only kid at school who did.

Ah...I remember.

G Gundam, Rurouni Kenshin, DBZ and Tenchi. Every time I came home from school, I was waiting for Toonami. Good times.

Oh man, I'm at snowpeak in Twilight Princess and this entire dungeon is great.
Not showing the boss icon really had me guessing because I feel like I heard somewhere the dungeon doesn't have a boss, and made the boss intro the follows really cool.

TP has some really damn good items. I was expecting something like fire arrows but you get a fucking GIANT FLAIL.

You guys took One Piece's departure way better than I thought would happen, lol. I guess the podcast isn't all that rage heavy in general.

I've heard Demarco suggest that Hunter x Hunter could be split up into blocks of episodes, i.e, splitting it up into seasons even if it's technically not a seasonal show. I don't think they'll not finish HxH either way, though.

the new Devilman's gonna be dope as shit, yo.

re: podcast: Reconguista in G was not only 26 episodes, it was written to be 50 episodes and became such a completely incoherent mess from being condensed so hard that Tomino apologized for making it. It was hilarious.

Fairy Tail is worse than Shippuden, by the way.

also re: podcast: "zeni" is an old word for "money" in old Japanese, but it's well known because the same character's was used to write the word for "100th of a yen", which is uh, more worthless than dirt nowadays.

So it just became the generic word for money in RPGs, like gald. (Remember gald? What a goofy word.) It's "jenny" in Hunter x Hunter because z and j are somewhat loosely equivalent in Japanese, so Togashi was just varying it up a bit.

Speaking of "Jenny" - Shizuku (that Phantom Troupe member with the glasses) is apparently voiced by Janice Kawaye, who played the main character in "My Life as a Teenage Robot"

And speaking of THAT - I had completely forgotten that it was a Nickelodeon show and not a Cartoon Network show. Must be because it came out at the same time I started shifting my interest from Nick to CN (and a few other cartoon stations. Also a bit of a story relating to my exposure to Toonami from around then)

Being reminded My Life as Teenage Robot suddenly reminded me of a mostly forgotten Cartoon Network show with a similar premise.

I don't know why it sprung to my mind. I remember it being fairly terrible.

wut ever happened to what ever happened to robot jones?

I think it was one of those "hey, here's 5 pilots to some shows we're gonna throw at the wall, vote which one you want us to make more episodes of" shows they did at one point.

I think I'll be fine when HxH moves down later, since it gives people a chance to watch Yorknew first and IBO S2 isn't going to be anywhere near as boring as Unicorn.

Started playing Transistor. It's pretty cool!

We should be so lucky.

The thing is, all the other eligible shows were either nabbed by Hulu or lack a dub.

So barring new dubs being made, I don't think a permanent Gundam slot is even possible. IBO S2 and G Gundam HD are the only options they have.
