That sounds kind of tempting. I'll have to see if I have the time. Already seen Jojo & Steins;Gate (though I totally wouldn't mind rewatching those) plus a decent amount of Fate/Zero (I'd love to see ToonamiGAF's reaction to Caster's first appearance, though I won't dare spoil what happens), but it would be fun to rewatch with other people & see what they think. Any word on where the shows would be watched?

Check out the IRC or PM Kayos if you have issues with that
I've already seen Darker than Black (but have yet to see the infamous season 2........) but this is a great lineup. Too bad I probably won't be home Saturday till super late :/

Hopefully we'll be able to do this every weekend before Toonami so if you miss it shouldn't be too difficult to catch up especially if you've already seen one of the shows

As show's finish up we'll look for group feedback on what to replace them with
Damn, wouldn't mind watching that again. I read a decent amount of the manga thanks to my library when I was just starting high school (got around to volume 18 to 20, can't remember exactly). Sadly, I don't think they ever got the rest of the volumes...
Edit: Shonan 14 Days, I read a couple of volumes as well. Still good, but feels waaaay too similar. Some characters pretty much have the same traits/characteristics as the students from the original series.
I watch GTO once every year or so for funsies. Best non G Gundam show I ever bought.
You need to read the end of GTO. Right now if possible. The best ending to any manga. Period. End of story.
Wow, yeah, only 25 volumes, so I'm actually rather close to finishing it. Though if anything, it further annoys me that my library never bothered to get the remaining volumes (hell, they have Akira volumes 1 through 5, BUT NOT 6, THE FINAL VOLUME).
I'd totally be up for that as well. I'd love to rewatch something like Summer Wars with a group
& then play the "HEY, that was like in the Digimon movie!" drinking game.

Yeah, would be great if we could find another night like Friday or something to do movies. Or we could like once a month show a film alongside one or two other shows.
Like the Eureka Seven movie? =D lololololol.

I was joking, Kayos. I like being introduced to anime I haven't seen.
1.) License right issue for the anime
2.) Its dub sucked anyway
3.) if you really want to see SM, PM me.

Gonna miss out on Saturday night. Have to let Eva provide one last mindfuck on me. I'll catch up and be around for the second installment.
Also, I couldn't find Jojo on Crunchyroll nor Hulu. Does Netflix have it?
Sadly due to copyright issues I doubt you won't find it via 'legal methods' I presume.
Oh yeah, Jojo has a good amount of musical bands/songs titles being references (ACDC is a villain in part 2, guy with a stand named Red Hot Chili Peppers in part 4, another with a stand called D4C, or Dirty Deeds Done For Cheap in part 7, & many more). Author/creator wasn't a big fan of getting them changed, so wouldn't be surprised if this never got licensed. A shame, because it's pretty good, especially once part 2 starts up & lives up the the "bizarre" in the title.

wat
It's that kind of series. It's awesome.
Oh another reason Jojo is regulated to the unsanctioned area is probably due to the fact they have a licensed song from a Western band as the EP.
Oh god, another series I'd rewatch just to see everyone's reactions....though I don't know if I want to deal with Makoto again, especially considering what he does in the PC sequels....
We really don't need this. Next week will have a total of 6 shows. The only reason it's 5 this week is because F/Z's first episode is a double feature.

Yeah, no School Days that's the last thing we need

Those are some pretty good numbers for a night full of filler and a fight. Toonami staying strong.

People came back for Star Wars The Clone Wars, haters can cry but Clone Wars is here for the long haul.
Overall good numbers, hopefully once Bleach get's into it's actual filler arc and OP gets to water 7 numbers will increase again.
Looks like people are starting to see the truth when it comes to SAO

I'm not crying, baka. That's just dust in my eye.

I've been really enjoying IGPX, it's a shame that the ratings are low
I never really enjoyed IGPX. I found the execution to be sort of.... meh. I enjoyed the premise/concept though.
Oh but it would be so amusing.

While IGPX is certainly improving in recent weeks, I don't think I'd go out of my way to watch it again.

But people are going out of their way not to watch it. It's mind boggling .

About to get a used copy of End of Eva, but I want to know is Death/Rebirth worth it?
Duh. But if that were the case then E7AO would also be on that list.

First impressions hurt. And that show basically sucked for like 5 weeks
As it should be as well.

Have you been watching it recently or did you stop during season 1? IGPX has some pacing issues (especially at the start of the series) but has really turned things around. I can understand why people don't like it though.
This is the big thing, you hit the nail on the head. IGPX was incredibly slow for over a month but since then the quality has been steadily improving to the point where I look forward to each week's episode. However, most people that bailed early aren't going to come back so the ratings will suffer as we're seeing.
*Water 7 spoiler*
HOLY SHIT AT CHOPPER'S MONSTER POINT GAWDDAMN! And I love how Luffy refers to Lucci as "Pigeon Bastard" haha
