Michiko & Hatchin is produced by Watanabe & directed by the same person who'd go on to do Lupin III: Woman Named Fujiko Mine, so it sounds like it should be good.
Akame Ga Kill sounds like the quality of Blue Exorcist BUT WITH MORE EDGE.

We should be more clear here. Watanabe is the music producer, not the producer producer.
It was basically Manglobe's big production after Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy.
Okay, cautiously optimistic, though I haven't seen anything Lupin related besides Castle of Cagliostro. (which was badass as shit)
Which quality of Blue Exorcist are you talking about? Serious plot Blue Exorcist, or comedy hijinks Blue Exorcist?
Metatron corrected me in that Watanabe only produced the music, but I stil have faith with the director.
& "Shonen Plot" Blue Exorcist, from what I've been hearing on here. Not the fun & wacky BE.
Yes.
Akame ga Kill is very weird. It has a lot of wacky hijinks, tons of fanservice and harem elements, but at the same time it tries to be really edgy. It's a weird combination that's entertaining for a while until you realize (minor spoilers)
how barebones the characters are, and how predictable it becomes.

Does it have a lovely tsundere, also?
It wouldn't be a shonen without one.
The opening gives a pretty good sense of the vibe of the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQf-NkWz7Yo

Her eyebrows be putting in some work.
Looks pretty damn cool actually. Haven't been excited to watch a show that's new to me since Space Dandy.

To SAO's credit (vomited a bit in my mouth) they do explain this later.
This is what happens when you enterI'll bring the pizz--
when KLK is airing
It's a shame that it cratered when it came out.

That Splatoon commercial.
AND FUCK THIS EPISODE ALREADY! Kirito playing it up as a cute girl? GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Well that''s good. Kinda odd that Sinon is going to give Kirito her info after being pissed at him for being a guy.
Edit: oh not personal info...though I'm guessing that'll come later

I like Akame Ga Kill, I feel the biggest problem people here will have with it is that it suffers from Brotherhood/Hellsing comedy where it has a very serious dark plot and then randomly switches into overly goofy comedy.
The actual plot is good not great, it's certainly more enjoyable then Blue Exorcist and has a good amount of action. I think people here will generally like it more then Anime GAF did on average

AGK is way better than Blue Exorcist.
AGK is basically a reverse Hellsing.
Hellsing is normally a dark, super-violent show with random burst of bizarre comedy.
AGK normally looks light and cheerful until random bursts of super dark violence.

Eh. I found the characters in BE much more likeable. They also had more layers and that's saying something.
I found myself rooting for the bad guys in AGK more often than not.

I thought it was in the ToS that Gaffers weren't allowed to ever meet up IRL.
Well that's completely incorrect.

For some reason, Narutaru came to mind when I read this, except it's "looks light & cheerful until becoming super dark & violent".
I'll have to see, it doesn't sound as bad as Hellsing.
It's pretty jarring. It's not like the show goes from light and cheerful and progressively gets darker as more things are reveals. It goes from super dark shit to wacky hijinks right afterwards constantly.
Good. The comedy was some of my favorite parts of Hellsing.

Depends on how recent you want. I think these are good candidates (fits Toonami and already dubbed) that Sentai might do.

I saw the first episode of agk when it was airing and hated it. I can't see anyway for me to enjoy unless it turns into hate watch territory. Maybe Sentai lives up to the hype a provides a dub worthy of that honor.
