So i guess ill watch Samurai Champloo in japanese before i watch it in english to compare.
So basically the entire last 90 minutes of Toonami are a barren wasteland of a black hole of suck for months now?
*raises hand*
Kill la Kill had the pedigree to be legendary ala TTGL. It fell way short.

Kill la Kill at least had the "stupid good time" vibe.

I'm pretty sure I saw more disappointment surrounding Kill la Kill than total rage about Michiko and Hatchin
I couldn't simply lie about how I felt about the matter. The sad thing is, I went in expecting to hate AGK and love M&H when the shows were first announced for Toonami.
Here's dessert:
I quite enjoyed KLK, and only thought TTGL was okay at best. I liked it better on my second viewing than the first, but overall don't agree with the amount of praise that it gets. I don't consider it a GOAT mecha show, and not even top ten anime for me personally.
What's wrong with Samurai Champloo?

Wait is it Mexican or is it from Sri Lanka?
Indeed, indeed it did.

Samurai Champloo. Wish we had a sequel. They need to air Gangsta on Toonami.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
I think the majority already say KLK prior and when the series ended, except a couple people, everyone else really liked it and still liked it after a 2nd viewing

You all show some respect to Gamatatsu. He's the best ever. Fun Fact: Both those frogs are being voiced by the same person.

Nah, that's Gurren. The first couple of episodes and the end fight of KLK did. I wish the rest of the show could be considered that.

Sorry. But hey, Bebop, Champloo, and Apollon are all the good shit! And Champloo coming back after the new year!
It tried something different and as time goes on I appreciate KLK more and more. And what else were you expecting out of the pedigree of TTGL. You just want to watch more TTGL? Watch TTGL! KLK is it's own thing.
Yeah, there were a handful of people that were disappointed with Kill la Kill, but definitely there was way more negativity towards Michiko.
Michiko is flawed, no question, but it's not the worst thing ever just because it was different.

well not really since the people involved weren't involved in Champloo in the same capacity

Guren keeps getting rekt.
... Why would anyone want to revisit that?

Curious to know if it was it the same people working on Michiko and Hatchin? Just because its the same studio, that doesn't mean its directed and written by the same people

Naruto Filler is truly a gift from god.

Oh man, if we had normal bumps right now, this would be bumpworthy.

Both shows had Watanabe involvement, but he didn't share comparable roles between the two shows...
They share the same studio, but different people probably worked at the studio to be honest when the two shows were made.

Michiko and Hatchin also started very strong and seemed to have a lot of potential it squandered
KLK was very consistent though it's run, I feel like some people walked into it expecting TTGL2, saw it wasn't that and decided it was the worst thing ever. I can at least get why people like Gucci didn't like it due to the excessive fan service and over the top that was too much for him.

This is a canon scene btw.
I think the fact that M&H was so different is why people really tried to get invested, I know I did, I loved the setting, I loved the music, I loved the representation but the characters, story construction and pacing just wasn't very good.

Sasuke always so cool and has the best animated scenes.
Watanabe produced it, but he didn't direct it. Completely different writer from Samurai Champloo as well.
