I thought the first season of Tokyo Ghoul was pretty mediocre. The pacing was terrible. I heard the season season was even worse. Didn't even bother with that.
Kinda the reason I consider Viz to be a huge question mark. I think they're still open to putting stuff on Toonami, but considering the only stuff they've given us is really popular, I do wonder if only shows like Bleach and Naruto and InuYasha (at least with the AS audience) make their asking prices reasonable; they seem to fully embrace Hulu as an alternative, maybe even as a first choice.
Saw the Black Lagoon Premium Edition trailer on Youtube and now I miss Black Lagoon. We need another Seinen type anime that kicks ass like Black Lagoon.

If there was a show I could put on Toonami just to see people's reactions, it would be Texhnolyze. The show is probably the darkest thing I've ever watched, and one of the slowest burns I've ever seen. It's a great show, but boy is it difficult to watch in some regards. It's a show that isn't designed in the typical sense, to entertain you. The first episode makes that pretty clear.
Ergo Proxy is great, though it kind of requires you to put in actual effort in order to be able to enjoy it properly. It makes all kinds of obscure philosophical and mythical references, and it goes about its exposition in an extremely obtuse manner, so it's very easy to "not get it."
I can say with certainty some of the bullshit pulled in SAO isn't pulled in Accel World.
There might be a metaphor for one of the main female characters getting raped later on though. Depends on whether or not you read mind linking with a person as being intimate or not. Series seems to view it that way. :|
Accel World is a lot better. It still has all the dumb pandering power fantasies that SAO has. Of course all the girls in the show fall in love with this whiny, 2ft tall nerd kid. The battles were kinda interesting though. I remember wanting to hurry up and get to the game parts whenever the real life "drama" stuff started lol.
Viz has always had a strong relationship with Hulu. Even their video player is just Hulu with an overlay.
I imagine we won't see many Viz shows anymore (not that we have been...). Toonami will probably just have older shows like Shippuden and Inuyasha. Guess that leaves the door open for slightly old shows like Tiger & Bunny though.
Difficult to say. It's one of those where you either like it or don't. It feels kind of like Witch Hunter Robin and Wolf's Rain except darker and DARKER, SO DARK that you have to watch it with all the lights off, haha
Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze did air on TV at one point...
On a random rock music video channel Fuse. They randomly had an anime block and showed both of them, and even re-ran them.
Actually no, I saw Texhnolyze on STARZ back when I had Time Warner Cable. IIRC it was a nightly thing and it also had a mini-block as well.
I wish Ergo Proxy had a gag reel like Texhnolyze though... It would've been the funniest shit I've seen with that setting. I'm glad Justin Cook killed it with Texhnolyze, LOL and both shows have Patrick Seitz IIRC.
Holy shit, that was how I felt, and I was barely paying attention half the time!!
I should rewatch this just so I could understand and remember why I put up with it in the first place. Damn same creators as Lain. This shit was darker than Lain, IMO.
