I like Kid's OCD problems and some other moments legitimately got a laugh out of me, like Black Star rushing into the medical room to "check" on Soul. But otherwise yes, the jokes involving Blair aren't my type.
I'll agree that all the scenes involving Blair are lame,

Fox ADHD beating Toonami? HA! HA HA HA HA!

you said fox and ADHD which is my username everywhere, and what i have, tho its just ADD and not ADHD, i was extremely confused to say the least
What were their ratings for last week? We should start comparing them for a laugh.

I disagree on a lot of your points. The pacing on the show is pretty good. The lead up to the Kishin's revival was about 11 episodes and only 3 of those were unnecessary. The actual Kishin revival only took 7 episodes and in that span they had 3 major fights, they resolved the "black blood inside Maka and Soul" plotline, Crona was brought over to the good side, the aforementioned revival took place, and Medusa was defeated. If the show's pacing was as bad as you claim it to be, all of this would have been dragged out much longer.
As for the villain, i'd say Medusa is a pretty great villain. List of her achievements include:
She managed to infiltrate the DWMA.
She gained complete control of a witch that tried to kill her and made her do her bidding.
She pretty much tortured her own child into becoming one of the strongest weapons in her arsenal.
She actually achieved her goal of reviving the Kishin and made Stein's victory completely pointless. How many villains can say they've actually accomplished their goal?
Medusa is not only evil through and through, but she's smart and a blast to watch.
As for your other points, humor is subjective. If you don't like the comedy in the show, then that's that. A lot of us here really enjoyed it, but whatever. As we can't discuss stuff that hasn't aired, i'll just finish out my post by saying that what we've seen of the show so far has been really great.

We were mostly talking about Blue Exorcist, because of the new movie. He was the one who randomly pulled a Soul Eater comparison out of his ass.
That explains everything.
I'm keeping a close eye on you from now on, Cosmic.
Not really, I don't have that kind of time. Lurkin's a full time job.
Unless Axe Cop or High School USA! take a drastic leap in overall quality, I can't possibly see that happening.
Heh sorry.
Fox Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD) is their newest programming block that airs an hour before Toonami starts. It's obviously trying to be like Adult Swim. Seriously I tried watching it once and it had surreal, "random" bumps that resembled the ones on Adult Swim.

it kinda bothers me that Kid's OCD has an actual effect on his combat abilities.
and that Black Star joke totally destroyed a pretty nice moment.

doesnt sound like something i'd watch, specially since anime was a big part of AS early on and fox isnt known for that anymore, thanks for clearing that up

i think they hired somebody who was in charge of that stuff at Adult Swim in the past, actually.

i don't really have a problem with those jokes themselves, but when they're used in a serious context as a source of tension it's just bizarre. Kid's OCD is supposed to be funny, not the equivalent of whether he can maintain the Kamehameha

after reading the last some pages im surprised toonamigaf and animegaf doesnt overlap that much, i figured majority of animegaf got their "start" with programs like toonami back in the day
There's a good amount of hostility towards Toonami-GAF in AnimeGAF for some reason.
I am not surprised. Personally I think it's a case of too little too late. Adult Swim has had over a decade to establish itself, while FOX is trying far too late to try to compete.
Surprisingly I see more overlap between ToonamiGAF and MangaGAF.

i thought about checking it out over there once, but then i saw somebody ranting about how the people who watch Toonami do so because then they don't think it's labeled as actual anime and are thus trying to escape from the stigma of watching anime.
i laughed myself all the way to the back button.
"Distasteful asshats" is what I feel.

yeah, ive been a lurker for a long time and i notice the mangagaf mostly have sprites made by neorice(?) so i can tell if they are from mangagaf usually
To be fair, I wasn't all that hyped for AoT going in. The source material has its own set of problems. Once you saw how they had to stretch a poorly paced manga out further, there were bound to be issues. Fight animations are still gorgeous though.
Um, there really isn't that much hostility. Cajun questions why you guys bother with watching stuff on TV when there's infinite legal streaming options available to watch this stuff or better right now, but that's as close to hostility I've seen in the Anime-Gaf thread.

A lot of weeaboos nowadays like to try to cover up any impact Toonami or US TV had in their anime watching in the past and brag about how they were watching untranslated bootleg DBZ VHS tapes that were ahead of the US airing when they were a kid.
AnimeGaf is /a/-lite and there's the same eletist anti-dub and anti "casuals"/"normals" attitude.
Toonami/US TV airing represents the most mainstream anime can get in the US, and usually follows the action/shonen genre, not the slice of life moe stuff that is popular among diehard anime enthusiasts nowadays.
AnimeGaf isn't too bad once you get to know them. They just have trouble understanding opinions that are not their own.
Also, I'm gone tonight. Had a bad day, see everyone next week for Tenumi's Birthday Toonami!
Edit: I figure I should mention that I feel like I'm the odd one out in AnimeGAF. I don't know, maybe because I grew up with Toonami. Maybe its because I like to watch shows dubbed. I don't know.

Sailor Moon on Toonami was one of the first anime programs I watched, but I didn't get interested in anime beyond that until I saw Spirited Away several years later.

that's....disconcerting =/ i've watched countless anime in the past dubbed and subbed, i watch toonami every saturday because its one part of my life i really enjoy, i dont watch much tv anymore so toonami lets me turn it on every once in a while.
i understand what cajun is saying, but i like giving my support to toonami
heh
cya next week!
Not going to lie, I'm mostly in ToonamiGaf to see what you guys think of these shows more than anything else. I'm way behind on Soul Eater and haven't been watching any of the other shows. Gives me another outlet to talk about anime. Might actually start watching again when One Piece gets to Water7 or one of my personal faves gets picked up.

ive seen a scene or 2 on youtube, im one of those people who say they cant say when acting's "bad" or whatever but i can tell that is the absolute worse acting ive ever heard in my life, and it was hilarious.

There's shounen talk in animegaf too. Just not as much as a block that's half shounen (though I'd be cool if it was).

The only time we ever talk about anime-GAF is when someone brings up their reaction of our reaction to tv shows and just now when someone goaded Duckroll to come here and give us his opinion.
I have more than once gotten some less than flavorful remarks when I say I prefer hearing English to reading it. I will watch shows that never got a dub but I still prefer the dub option if it is there. I also think I much prefer the scope of the Toonami thread where there is only a handful of shows (current shows, past shows, similar shows) that are talked about, whereas in AnimeGAF people are free to talk about any show in a gigantic medium. It's honestly just a little to messy for me. I was going to say intimidating but that's not the right word. There's just a lot of talk about shows I really don't care anything about. Nothing against that thread as that can't be helped but that's why I tend to stick in here.
EDIT:
I have been posting some quickie impressions of my current Neon Genesis Evangelion run in there to test the waters but it's not nearly as fun as watching things live with this group.. I'll probably just stick to watching non-Toonami animes without much commentary.

It seems like the only long-running shonen that gets any play on gaf outside of ManGaf and ToonamiGaf is Hunter x Hunter. People will acknowledge One Piece, but not much talk about that anime really happens. Naruto and Bleach might as well not exist with as much talk exists about them. I think it's mostly because once something goes on for so long, it becomes sort of boring and redundant to hold a conversation about it. What's left to say about those shows that hasn't been covered before?
The only time I turn on my satellite box is for Toonami. Otherwise I have my PS360 hooked up and use Netflix/Hulu for shows.

Jex has said similar things, as have a few others.
We've discussed it and the convenience of TV over scouring the internet for stuff to watch, as well as people having limited time and the bigger selection not really giving any way to filter out anything that doesn't have "mainstream appeal".
Hostility might be too strong a word, but there's definitely a bit of elitism in regards to toonami-only anime watchers in animegaf.
Part of the reason we need to make better use of the series OTs. Always keep forgetting those are a thing.
The uncontrollable growth of AnimeGAF threads is also a huge pain in the arse. You go do something for a few hours and you're behind by a dozen pages already. I just look at the last three pages these days. The 'who quoted me' feature was invaluable.
Obviously ToonamiGAF has nonsensically fast posting speed while a show is actually on, but a group viewing experience is a different beast.
