Toonami |NovDec15| It's Man God's world, we're just posting in it

- Start date
The downside being Miura is going on hiatus until Summer. Just as they got off the boat...
Also, to anyone that wants to avoid One Piece spoilers, avoid the English trailer for Burning Blood.
Didn't he spend years on a boat and then the characters got off and said 'Well that didn't take very long.'
Even the title spells it out.

I'm pretty sure I was in middle school when Guts got on the boat and now I'm about to graduate college.

I can't even get remotely excited for the new Berserk thing if it's another CG movie or more Golden Age and it seems to be a tradeoff since Miura went on hiatus again until next summer, fuck that.
It's gonna be black swordsman stuff, which is everything around the golden age.

Well I guess that's always been skipped over but it's also the worse arc so...
Do not want!

Why would you want another TTGL? That's not even possible since Gainax owns it but most of the people who worked on it are at Trigger.

I wouldn't want another TTGL because the story ended at a great point and there's no need to revisit it.

I don't think Trigger/Gainax could get a budget that big enough to remake TTGL. The show sold, but it wasn't smash success over in Japan.
Unless something like Toonami decided they wanted in and threw in some cash.
I highly doubt Gurren Lagann did well enough for Adult Swim to throw money at a sequel so soon.
Uh yeah you should.
Oh man. Just woke up. A new Gurren Lagann being teased, Jojo Eyes of Heaven confirmed for the US (now to see if they use the name changes from All-Star Battle), EU is getting Super Mario RPG & Mario 64 DS on the Wii U eShop possibly hinting at the US getting it eventually, Guilty Gear Xrd PS4 LE is a whopping $23.
This week is off to a good start.
Edit: Actually, let's get this confirmed: If we nominate Jojo for "show most wanted on Toonami", are we counting ALL the seasons, just Part 3, or including the upcoming Part 4 anime airing in April?

For simplicity's sake let's assume they would always begin by airing Parts 1/2.
Hmmm, alright, because what gets aired is playing a big role in if I want to choose it (especially with part 4 airing in a few months, which is my favorite part of all of Jojo). It's between "long show with many moments, but also slower episodes of less action" & "short show that'd only last a few months, but pretty much has action in every episode".
.......or My Hero Academia being right in the middle.
Edit: YO, what's this about One Piece: Burning Blood getting an LE on Amazon? It's freakin' $130 though...

people who don't read/watch every single jojo part in order are monsters
It's surprisingly hard to drag people into the series with part 1 though, while part 2 grabs people instantly.
My thoughts exactly, considering Part 2 is another of my favorites.
...ya know, didn't they say there'd be big changes or whatever after Intruder 2 finished? Aside from "we got a home base instead of a ship now with new bumps", doesn't feel all that different. Maybe I was just kind of expecting a bigger announcement, which will probably come next year. Though Samurai Champloo is still rather big.
Eh. Part 1 wasn't bad actually, though Part 2 would definitely get more attention.

Part 1 episode 1 has Dio which should grab anyone

Part 1 is the weakest part, but the first episode of Phantom Blood is amazing. Back when the show first started, there wasn't a whole lot of expectation but that first episode was such a good hook
Isn't that the episode where he
burns the dog to death just to fuck with Jonathan

There's action in every episode in part 1
Episode 1 has
two fist fights between dio and jojo
Episode 2 has
the football scene, dio fighting a zombie/vampire, and jojo confronting speedwagon's goons
And so on from there, sure the bigger shonen esque battles don't start until the 3rd episode, but to say the series has no action is wrong
It has action, but going into JoJo, you expect ridiculousness and amazingness, or else you probably wouldnt have started it. The show doesn't hit this in a way where it has mass appeal until season 2. I personally was okay with season 1, but the amount of people who I've had to tell force yourself through S1 so they didn't drop it there for failing to live up to hype was quite high.
Well, 3/4 of them.
Well, 3/4 of them.
It's not as "bizarre" as you'd think it be until Part 2 happens. Part 1 isn't all that bad, but when you've seen the other parts, it doesn't hold up as well compared to when Stands were introduced or Part 2 bringing the "bizarre" to the series.
It's part of the reason why I question if they should start with Part 3, considered the most popular due to that being where Viz started and the Capcom fighter being brought over (plus that OVA), or deal with Part 1 & 2 despite knowing we might lose viewers who just aren't getting hooked due to Part 1.
Also helps that Joseph is a much funner protagonist compared to Jonathan.

JoJo doesn't get truly Bizarre until Part 6, which is just a constant stream of nonsense

But Toonami doesn't have the time for that silliness.
We need serious shows like Parasyte and Sword Art Online.

I also like Part 2 more than Part 1, but Part 1 Dio is far better than any character in Part 2. I'm also very fond of Jonathon and Zeppeli.
Part 1 of Jojo is great. Like I mentioned before, its better than 90% of the stuff on Toonami atm

Part 1 gets a bad wrap because part 2 is so amazing. Much like Diamond is Unbreakable compared to Stardust Crusaders, Araki likes to try new ideas and then the next series he goes hog wild with it.
DIO, the eternal hype man that is Speedwagon and Zeppelli all make for an entertaining watch. Not to mention we get more Roundabout.
I find it funny people don't consider Part 1 truly 'bizarre' despite the fact

Jonathan fights a hair vampire and has a duel with an enemy linked together with a chain of each of their necks.

Part 1 has better characters in comparison to Part 2, but the story of Part 2 is more enjoyable than Part 1.
Part 2 has best Jo and that is all that matters.
I also like Erina better in Part 2 as well
One more reason JoJo needs to come to Toonami, it gives everyone in the thread an opportunity to yell JOJOOOOOOO! DIIIIIIOOOOOO! at each other.

Did someone say Black Swordsman?
Pfft.
Kirito will never be the Black Swordsman to me.
That's pretty much the reason why parts 2 & 4 are my favorites, it expands upon the ideas introduced in the previous parts and makes them even cooler/enjoyable/more interesting. That's not to say Parts 1 & 3 are bad, it's just that they were more of laying the foundation down.
Is that the black guy who was sexually harassing the maid?Did someone say Black Swordsman?
