Greed island was a fun arc . Chimera ant is marinefold tier so far
ONE OF US, ONE OF US
With the current block, I'll usually stop paying attention after Black Lagoon. Repeat Naruto is a no. FMAB just finishing recently was probably the 2nd or 3rd time watching it. Around that same time I also sped through it again with my gf as she hadn't seen it before so I could see her reactions, so I'm taking a bit of a break on it. I'll likely watch again on toonami once the main plot picks up.
I enjoy samurai jack but knowing it never got a resolution kinda keeps me from investing on the eps I didn't see as a kid. I hear SBT is good but its not enough interest to keep me watching the whole block unfortunately.

Welcome to Toonami GAF and GAF in general
Here is your junior survival guide
Rule 1: While you're a junior, if there is even a hint of controversy stay away from a thread
Rule 2: Get to 300 post (easy with toonami) and be active for 3 months
Rule 3: don't be snarky until your a regular member
Follow those steps and you'll have a good time
Also quick your top 5 ongoing and top 5 finished anime

I second this.
Also this.
Keep in mind the best way to not get banned is not to be a dick. Just don't be a dick and you'll be ok.
I think that is literally impossible since everything else vanishes for the fist few days.
There's twitter with the rest of us

Unfortunately, other people being dicks kind of makes you want to be a dick right back to them, haha.

It's okay to post reactions in the live threads during E3 but controversial topics will become graveyards.
Nope, sadly not. I have seen most of the series but I fell off for the last 1/4 of the episodes and I have yet to see much of Final Act. I have been wanting to watch it live on Toonami with you guys.
*Unless you hate on the Xbox One/Vita then gifs a plenty!
Also the WiiU is a ded system and Nintendo should upend their business model and sell their company.
GAF gets pretty bad around E3
Bleach is decent and can be pretty good at times. Keeps me entertained for the most part
. The only thing is that I didn't really start watching it until the Arrancar arc began, so when people say "oh the Soul Society arc was the best" and "OG bleach was awesome", I don't know what they mean. I've heard alot of early Bleach is slice of life-ish and that this current arc is similar to that, so tbh I haven't really been paying attention to these current episodes since I'm not that familiar with that style of Bleach. But overall, it does its job well as a shounen.
Lists? I'm pretty terrible at them, since I'm one of those people who can't make up their mind since they think they might have forgotten something. But I'll give it a shot
Finished Anime
FMAB
Bebop
Evangelion
Welcome to the NHK
Mushishi
Death Note
Baccano
I know its more than five and its a pretty loose order anyway, as in they're all pretty damn good.
Dont really have any ongoing anime though since I tend to finish one if I really want to get through it and have time to. Black Lagoon is the only one I can think of atm, but I've really enjoyed what I have seen of Gintama and Daily Life of High School Boys but I'm not actively watching them right now.
EDIT: Yeah I figure it's not hard to keep from getting banned as long as you dont post anything stupid, but i'll still be abit careful during e3 though
nozomi and kon god no

Awesome list of anime. You should definitely give Monster and Steins;Gate a watch, because it seems we have similar tastes.

I'm gonna second these recommendations
Also you have FMA:B at the top if your list Takashi so you are good in my book

And of course you should watch GTO, that goes without saying.
Thanks for the recommendations guys.
I actually wanted to watch Monster a while back but I saw it was around 70 episodes. So I looked up people's opinions to see if it was worth it (avoiding spoilers of course) and saw some people saying that there were a lot of filler episodes, but that they were kinda part of the big buildup of the plot. I'm not sure if the eps were indeed filler, or were people just complaining about a slow paced buildup?

Good answer, we can be friends now!
People tend to say the original Soul Society arc was the best because most (some would say every) after that follow its storyline pretty closely. Also, the Arrancar arc dragged for soooooo long that it put a lot of people off by the time we finally got to the battle for Karakura town.
But yeah, early Bleach is very similar to the first two episodes of the fullbringer arc. High school shenanigans, slapstick comedy, and the occasional hollow purification. I'm enjoying it.
As I say to every junior, threadwhining and hiveminding are typically the reasons new members get banned. Don't state that a thread is stupid or worthless ("not threadworthy") and don't generalize the forum or a group of people on the forum ("GAF is a bunch of losers", "so-and-so Fanboys are obnoxious", etc). These can be only minor bans for full members but juniors aren't so lucky.
But what Tanamon said is basically the bottom line.
Enjoy your stay.

It's because basically Monster is half-action mystery and half slice of life. The "filler" they are talking about is all world building imo. Really draws into the world that the author created.
Meh
(coming from someone who felt like his world was falling apart from the Bone reveal to E3).
All it takes is a US release date to get me a PS4.I just wanna see more Lily Bergamo
I couldn't even watch that video after mentioning "more choice" and "feedback".
Caleb got me some tickets for the Thrursday showing of Godzilla. Probably my most anticipated day (until Bayonetta 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy come around). Also pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 because of that poster and Senran Kangra Versus because of XSEED (and it being a physical/limited edition)...is this place really just Off-Topic until Saturday/Sunday nights?
Yeah I remember when that was airing on adultswim and it draaaagged, but it got worse because then IIRC bleach got to the end of grimmjow I think and then they started repeating them. ugh
Thanks for the heads up
edit: Im gonna try and find some time to try and run through monster then, sounds like the build up has a massive payoff
Thanks
no doubt it will be enjoyableTheAbsolution

Welcome.
Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Edit: Definitely agree with rule number 4: Stay out of gaming during E3. Except for live thread reactions.
Speaking of which... so glad I know my family's provider account now. Makes recording mistakes a non-issue.
No, they don't have a deal with Cartoon Network for online content. That is probably why the on demand sucks horribly.
Edit : Thanks

Shit Krev, you make it sound like it's possible to even post on GAF during E3.
Yeah, well, E3 is actually #twitterparty time
I have a lot more trouble keeping track of the manga I'm reading compared to the anime, and I already have a lot of trouble with keeping track of anime.

That's what hummingbirds for
I watched the anime during high school about 4ish years ago. Manga fulls under "oh god there's way too many chapters to start from the beginning" .
I haven't read it yet. Then again, there's tons of stuff I haven't read and totally should.
I've got my MAL, my AnimePlanet, my Hummingbird, all caught up, yet I still have issues remembering what I'm watching/reading, and I can go weeks forgetting that I was watching a show.
Speaking of, I need to get back to Dragonball soon. Finished the first disk and forgot to start the second...
Hey there. Always great to have new members aboard. Enjoy yourself. And others have said it but I'll say it again anyway. Stay safe around these boards. It gets touchy around E3. I know members irl who joined for E3, and was gone before the end of the conferences just because things got a little too heated and tempers rose. Stick with us. We're a friendly group. :3
E3 isn't even that ban happy anymore unless there is a significant betrayalton.
What it is though is death to the forums usability. I preferred the years where they shut off the OT early and got rid of avatars and the like to the ones where it crashed a bunch and then they did that.
