IGPX isn't even "bad", it was just really.............okay. It certainly didn't help late at night, that was a show that would help you drift to sleep, even during the races. I don't recall it ever invoking anger, it was just very middle of the road with low energy outside of the races.

fwiw I think SAO2 is better written
it's trash but
it's not sao 1-2 or sao 1s premise- even if it still makes no damn sense.
Yep. It was inoffensive for the most part. Boring at best.

1-5: Must watch.
6-11: Really great shows.
12-20: Pretty damn good shows, would not mind a repeat of. The only one in here that deserves a note is that Bleach basically begins with a 60 episode run that would put it in the 1-5 range but then there's another 300 episodes.
21-30: Nothing wrong with any of these. Good normal shows.
31: Boring.
32: One great episode, a bunch of boring ones. Looked like it was going somewhere but never did.
33. Really not good show. Horrible dub that wouldn't have been liked even at the peak ADV dub everything phase, completely ridiculous for a 2015 release.
34. Awful show. The worst Batman series by a mile. Makes The Batman look amazing by comparison.
35. Horrible production. A failure on almost every single level. A disgrace to a franchise that has already suffered decades of decline. Ugly. Lifeless acting. Dumb story. Lame comedy that almost never hits. Boring.
36. This gets a special nod by being absolutely full of wasted potential. The first episode movie is really good, the rest of the series is a trash fire.
When DBZ Kai finishes it would probably be Number Six on that list.
If I slotted in One Piece it would be in the top five somewhere, I love that show.
HxH would be top ten for sure.
One Punch would be low twenties/high teens, it's a really solid show. IBO high twenties.
Naruto Shippuden would be mid twenties.

Huzzah, & just in time!
Getting internet for my apartment was made even better by the fact I was upgrading from maybe 3-5mbps on a good day to 50-60mbps via Charter. Felt sooooo good.
I caught up on the shows I missed last week.
DBZ: It's DBZ.
One Punch Man: The 'OK' was more amusing than I thought it would be despite seeing it everywhere. Not much really happened in this episode, but worked well enough as a penultimate build up to the finale.
Gundam: I feel like, on the micro- level, some (not all) of these scenes work. I think I get what they were going for regarding Kudelia, etc,but, on a macro-scale these events are not well constructed or put together. There are too many coincidences or misconceptions that place our characters in these settings in the first place. Like, I don't think I can point at any particular main protagonist's motivation as flawed or unbelievable; most are acting pretty rationally in my opinion. But the larger vehicle driving these events forward is not convincing. The colonist rebellion was sloppily put together through the events of "a proxy" to the point that somehow apparently nobody realized they were arming colonists before it was too late, not recognizing Kudelia earlier but another recognizing her later (basically when and where the plot required her to be recognized or not recognized). This ties into the relationship between Biscuit and his brother, which is undermined by a really hard-to-believe plot point.This conflict between Gjallerhorn and colonists has had little context up to this point. I actually kinda laughed when the audio faded as soon as the rebels started announcing their demands as if it was some sort of literal hand-wave by the writers. Finally, Fumitan has basically had no built up sympathy so all events involving her are not really hitting. The flashbacks between her and Kudelia were not totally worthless, but too stereotypical to be fully compelling. And that she literally wandered into the focal point of this rebellion is a bit facepalm-worthy.
Hunter X Hunter: Kind of a boring episode. I will say the characterizations of the main protagonists up to this point has been done well enough that it was pretty easy to foresee most everything Gon says or does in the episode. Having a guided tour of Assassins' Land felt tongue-in-cheek about how this series represents death so casually, but I'm not sure it was meant to be. I dunno, not much to say here.
Naruto: Mostly just a set up episode. I think the plot established around this Jiraiya set of episodes probably didn't need to come about so rapidly, but it's still probably better done than most other events in this show.
One Piece: I felt the voice acting was especially strong in this episode, especially Brina. Not the most interesting episode, but, uh, good enough.
DBZ: It's DBZ.

Supposedly my internet is 150 mbps.

You guys didn't know this? That schedule has been accessible for a week or two now (as was the 22nd's to further confirm).

12:00 - Dragonball Z Kai - 89 - Battle at the Highest Level! Goku Goes All Out!
12:30 - One-Punch Man - 12 - The Strongest Hero - END

I don't think I'll post much during OPM because I'll be glued to dat quality sakuga.
I hadn't checked in a while! Figured to bring it up even though it was obvious and LTTP because I hadn't seen it mentioned.
One thing I haven't quite decided on yet is how to list JoJo in the schedule. I could just use the show's official title:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Or I could use the official English title:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Animation
Or I could list it as parts:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Part 1: Phantom Blood
or
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood
Any thoughts?

Everyone had strong suspicions that it would be (especially when hearing the finale would get the rerun slot for the night, but it seems now it's official. I actually tried seeing on my charter cable or AS' site if I could look ahead, but didn't find anything.
Well, if you say Part 1, then start using Part 2, might be slightly confusing when you say "Part 2 - 10 - *episode name*" since it's technically episode 1 of Part 2, but the 10th episode of "The Animation", which is S1 of Jojo.
But I guess for some people, it might be helpful to know which part we're on, i.e. when Part 2 starts. Maybe for this season, "The Animation" would be fine, then just point out when Part 2 starts, then when we get Part 3, call it "Stardust Crusaders" since that's what the official name of the anime is considered.
Edit: Or do both & say "The Animation (Part #)" for this season.
I'd go with listing them as parts so it would be easier on some people.

When the last episode of Part 1 comes up, put JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - # - Title - END OF PART 1
Agreed, then put "START OF PART 2" the following week.
Thankfully, when we get to Part 3, we won't have this issue.

I would go with JJBA: Series Name as the format
Actually, now that I think about it, the logo that Toonami used for the promo had "The Animation", so I guess use that for consistency, but maybe still put "END OF PART 1" & "START OF PART 2" since it seems Toonami will air a new promo for Part 2, considering the promo now only shows Part 1.
Then when Part 3 airs, put "JJBA: Stardust Crusaders" since they'll most likely use that logo/call it that.

No problems with the list from me.
"Dimension W-hat the Fuck is Happening" was almost literally painfully boring. Like my heart felt like it was dying every second I wasn't making fun of it on the boards.
I'm still astonished that one part where the one villain starts playing his own background music to the fight going on isn't talked about more.

Is there a fight starting in Naruto tonight?
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
Your call if you include "The Animation" in your schedule write-ups. It kinda works as a distinction versus the other seasons, but then again so does the subtitle's absence.
They are actually only somewhat loosely Toonami-related. It's essentially a video podcast of Jason DeMarco and Gill Austin (two longtime CN/AS/Toonami employees) talking their opinions on various shows, genres, movies, comics, etc. This week's topic was apparently "shows involving Witches" (Witch Hunter Robin which aired on Adult Swim Action, some other live-action Witch movies, Kiki's Delivery Service). At the end they throw in whatever special commercials they're going to air the next night - this week it's a game review for "Inside". Only like 45 minutes long (compared to common multi-hour podcasts) so sometimes I listen-watch to kill time if I'm working on something.
Barely, the majority of that is next week.
Considering the state of western action shows these days...please stick around.

I know, making any animated product is intense challenging work.
But I'm kinda bothered by how quiet they are about Samurai Jack. I get they don't want to give the thrust of the narrative away, but I feel like they've been really quiet on it.
*Huddles in fetal position*
They talked about it at one of the summer cons. But that was more than two months ago.
Voltron is good and it's shame that The Batman couldn't stick around.Considering the state of western action shows these days...please stick around.
I think people are really weird for expecting five more seasons or something.
.........eehhhhhhhh, it's not insufferable (unless you count Hunk and British Dude #140294) but it is lacking a lot of things that makes it a joy to watch.
