IGPX started out slow but has been really solid the past 5 weeks. After the rematch against Team Velshtein the show started to "click" for me and I've been really enjoying it. Pacing issues aside, the production is top notch. Great voice acting, amazing music, cool races (when we get them), talking cats...what more could you want?

Oh, and Liz is the baddest chick on the block no doubt. I would definitely wife her up if I was Takashi.

SAO is stupid fun, especially this first arc. I love the whole MMORPG with real life consequences angle, even if the execution is poor.

IGPX has gotten more competent as time has gone onwards, yet it is still a pretty bland series that really loves its sports cliches all of a sudden.

Sword Art Online is stupid, but I have no fun with it, because a lot of the stupid comes from a fundamental lack of understanding of how MMOs actually work. Look, you want the MMORPG with consequence thing, Dot Hack did this better.

Yes, yes it is, but is still better then the Sword Art Online, which was written by a 14 year old who has never played an MMORPG up to that point.
Click to expand...

Pretty much.
As boring as .hack got, you could at least tell the writers have played MMORPGs in the past.
SAO is.... awful.

My list is pretty much like Meta's only knock Deadman Wonderland and Eureka down a peg. Maybe Soul Eater as well.

Also I find myself double taking on each one of Batdan's posts because I don't recognize him.

Deadman Wonderland is really mid-tier in terms of its actual quality, but the entertainment factor (especially of the Toonami version) gives it a boost.

It's sort of like Code Geass, which would be near garbage status if it weren't for the fact that it loops around into being massively and incredibly stupidly entertaining.

That's quite a bit of an exaggeration, in both cases, especially since I really couldn't get into Deadman Wonderland at all.

I'm all for things being stupidly entertaining though, but DW just wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention at the time.

Still, if it works for you...I guess that's fine.

All shows are more fun with GAF at least in the case of Deadman Wonderland.

Geass was amazing if only for Charles. The dub really didn't do the original voice any justice.

There's plenty of people who can enjoy at least one of those shows but don't care for SAO though. And, of course, vice versa.

Yet it was still a pretty good dub overall. I didn't think the English voice actor did a bad job.

How many canon episodes of canon Soul Eater do we have left?

I dunno if I should wait for the series to be over to start the manga or to start the manga as soon as the canon material runs dry.

About 13 or so.
I'd wait until we're closer to the split before starting the manga. Start from the beginning as things do go a bit differently at certain points.

Yea he didn't do a bad job, but he had an indoor voice. Japanese Charles had no concept of an indoor voice, it was all yelling in a booming voice all the time. It was goddamn hilarious, combined with those amazing facial expressions made him the funniest character in ages.

Just turn up the volume everytime Charles talks and turn it down whenever anyone else does, it'll have the same effect :p

Agreed. Doubt I would watch Toonami without you guys.

Outside of about 2 shows I've seen just about everything that's on Toonami right now (at least in some form) and/or the shows are horrible. This thread is the sole reason I have to even consider watching it really, that and being an insomniac with nothing better to watch on a saturday night/sunday morning.

Ah, you reminded me that I should add an addendum to Bleach's placement. You can put the Soul Society arc into the Mid Tier on my list. The rest of Bleach stays where it is, though.

Eureka Seven has some nice music and visuals, but can be really really boring at times and we probably shouldn't get started on the characters.

In a world where a 12 year old can be a lethal assassin who can create lightning from his body and other hunters turn
real people into video game characters on an island
mcxc is upset about talking bugs. He completely misses the themes and powerful emotional moments of the arc because "bugs are a dumb villain"
