Well we have the manga mega thread where people are always willing to discuss HxH and AoT and we have an open spoiler policy. People going into the anime ots and spoiling shit is freaking low

One day I hope we get another DMWL anime that covers the rest of the manga

If I remember correctly a lot of toonami gaf didn't care for DW that much. I thought it was good but nothing special. The second episode where the prisoners run that death race for candy always seems to stick out in my mind, that was awesome.

Man I miss this show and the bleeps
Same here. Ganta's voice actor really grew on me and I like the story.

You remember wrong. Toonamigaf loved DW.

This. Go back to Day 1 of DW.
It's a fun thing to watch in a group, I could never get through it alone. Not without you guys. Group watching makes all kinds of things enjoyable.

I'll have to go back and read OT 1, my memory is fuzzy. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else but I could've sworn it was one of those love it or hate it shows.
GPX, we all hated GPX.

I personally love the show. Maybe you were thinking of the people over the Anime OT. They hated it.
They have weird taste anyway.

GPX? Wazzat?
I rather enjoyed DW, even if the final episode just....STOPPED instead of an actual conclusion (granted, I can't fault them when the manga was still going, but still). As an anime to go with the return of Toonami, it seemed like a good fit. Probably should see where the manga picked up where the anime ended one of these days.
.....plus it became fun to count all the bleeps. Oh, & Minatsuki/Hummingbird's episode was good as well for how insane she was.

You guys want a return of bleeps to Toonami, pull for Michiko & Hatchin. Plenty of cussin' in the 3 episodes I've watched so far.

Oh god the GXP hate was legendary. Wasn't Samurai 7 generally disliked too? I thought it was terribly boring. SAO will probably end up being the most hated show to air on toonami though, it's the most entertaining 30 minutes of my week due to the comments.
That sounds about right, those guys can be pretty picky sometimes.
I literally just laughed out loud remembering the bleeps. Good times.
Samurai 7 felt like a letdown. I remember thinking "HOLY CRAP, ROBOT SAMURAI, HE IS GONNA BE AWESOME" & then he either barely did anything or didn't do as well as the others. Plus it felt like it took longer than expected to just get all of them together (took them, what, almost 1/2 the series?). Most of it was rather "meh".

My guess would be Anime GAF hated DMWL because after about 3 episodes it stopped pretending to be anything but a shonen fight series.

kinda surprised we haven't heard much about this considering Shinichiro Watanabe's involvement.
The manga ended a couple months ago so it's complete now.
To be fair, it stopped not because it was overtaking the manga, but the ratings were absolutely horrid. I get the feeling the show premiering at the same time as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami didn't help, and the series catalyst is a massive earthquake. It was changed in the anime but... that didn't really help.
Yeah, it sucks when an anime just stopped & you have to read the manga to "finish" the story (I had to do that with Narutaru/Shadow Star, though that was made worse by the fact they never licensed the rest of the manga!). Though considering the ratings & the bad timing, that makes a lot more sense why the anime never got a second season. But seeing as the manga's only 13 volumes long & licensed, perhaps I'll check it out. Know what volume would be a good place to start off where the anime left off?
Pretty much. The source material is godly, the other adaptation (The Magnificent 7) turned out amazing so everyone had hype for this to be an awesome take on the property. When it wasn't we raged.
I will admit though I will miss all the "I SOLD MY WIFE" posts. Those were always good for a laugh.
Anime GAF doesn't seem to be big on shonen fight series either.

Start the manga at the beginning. The anime didn't include everything.

Poor DMWL. Nobody but Toonami-GAF liked it.
Doctor Decimate

didn't the DVD sell decently?
BassForever
Member
Yep
Those who read it in manga gaf enjoyed it, the other thing that hurt it besides the earthquake was the mangaka going on hiatus for pregnancy. It felt pretty rushed after she returned :/
I think most people in AnimeGAF dropped it after the first episode and the unbelievably stupid courtroom scene. Or at least I did.
This. The anime cuts out pretty important supporting characters that have fights later on.

What!? The anime is only 12 episodes long, that's odd.

You dropped the series because of the courtroom scene? What? Even if it wasn't obviously him getting set up as part of a conspiracy how does one prove their innocence when they're argument is "a guy in a red cloak/mask was flying outside the window and shot a weird red substance at everyone"

What's the difference from here?
It didn't live up to the high moe standards that Branduil enjoys.

We tend to enjoy shonen more I think. It's just a different atmosphere here.
I don't really want to rehash old arguments but it was just that it really didn't make any sense at all or maintain any semblance of believability. It was pretty much the "Homer Simpson sexual harassment case" played straight.
Toriyama can't be bothered to remember DBZ characters, so why should we?
To live is to die. To die is to live.
Is this a spoiler?
Its not a spoiler, its a
recao
I've been pulling for Michiko to get on TV for YEARS. I don't have the slightest clue why it 1) took so damn long to license and 2) hasn't been on TV here yet.

It made less sense then a prison theme park or a floating guy who can shoot blood as a weapon?
I'm actually kind of sad that I missed out on Casshern and DMWL but I was too damn busy as Saturday Night at the time was my go to social night and what little I saw of Deadman didn't inspire me to DVR it.
Glad as fuck that I missed Samurai Seven and most of GXP and Thundercats though. I was gifted E7 a few years back, saw most of Naruto and Bleach when they aired in Japan (and saw the entire dub run on CN for Naruto) Have seen every dub episode of One Piece and most of the subbed episodes (I let a backlog build up every two to three months to run them off, I read the manga weekly on the US jump site) and I think I actually do own all of Inuyasha. I have multiple versions of Bebop including every official US release and about a dozen different versions of it, official and not (why the fuck anyone would fansub Bebop after its official release, I have no idea.)
I'm going to catch up one day with Soul Eater and FMA:B. One day. One day...
Clone Wars was an off again on again thing. Characters look terrible in close shots but the animation on the action scenes can be quite nice, most of the voice work is great, and it's got a great script most of the time. I might DVR it.
Fake edit: Almost forgot I own multiple versions of Big O! Showtime!
