Damn, that's pretty strange considering everything else that's aired. Sorta makes me sad as I prefer the original Fullmetal Alchemist run over Brotherhood.

The original was too violent to air on Toonami when it was on Cartoon Network. It could definitely air on Adult Swim Toonami, though.

This thread is much more difficult than the 90's thread......

Okay,

Kill: .Hack//Sign
Kill: Superfriends

Nothing ever happened in .Hack!! I watched two seasons and all it was about was if people were addicted to MMO's in this show. It was the slowest paced anime ever with nothing EVER happening. The character's that did know a little what was going on didn't even give a shit.

There are a good handful of shows I haven't seen or even heard of on this list, which includes Zatch Bell. Sorry ZB fans. Also, Pokemon is a decent show. No way it should die this early.

Kill: Bleach: There have been shittier shows on Toonami but none of them have as much shit as Bleach currently does.
Kill (la Kill): Sword Art Online: Do I really need to explain this? Do I really need to explain what is wrong with the paragon of all that is wrong in anime?
Save: Sym-Bionic Titan: If only I could do this in real life.

That list is hebrea to me :D Too bad since I enjoyed the 90s thread. Hopefully you guys have fun and may the best show win.

Kill: Wulin Warriors
Kill: Tenchi Muyo! GXP - This show was just horrific to me. Everything about it, top to bottom, just seemed like an unmitigated mess.
Save: SAO

SAO is not as terrible a show as much of GAF tries to make it out to be. The hyperbole that one generates is off the charts.

If Bebop doesn't win, I'll be stunned.
And Ben 10 was on Toonami? How about that.

Anyway,

Kill: Bleach
Kill: Bleach
I've watched at least 10 episodes where nothing happened. It's like DBZ to the extreme with even more unlikable characters.

Save: Hamtaro
Just to rile people up.

I would very much like an explanation as to the hate for SAO. As I mentioned in my previous post, the hyperbole for it is off the charts. Is it just a joke at this point or is this actual criticism?

The bolded is the kind of stuff I mean. Every Toonami related thread or anime thread is riddled with stuff like this. I'm not trying to point out Shard in particular, but I'm curious to the thought that something like SAO is the "paragon" of what is wrong with anime and not something like Oreimo or a multitude of others. No, that second portion that includes a plot line that the girl is attracted to her "brother" makes it much worse. Every thread there are so many calls saying it is the "worst thing to happen to anime" or a "blight upon the genre".

Also, what makes something like SAO garbage and yet Tenchi Muyo for instance is still held in high regard. Am I mistaken in that Ayeka and Tenchi are related similarly to how Kirito and Suguha would be? (Not blood related, but still family related with attraction) Why does Tenchi consistently get a pass?

SAO is poorly paced and shoddily written to the point of being kind of shocking; from boring characters to bullshit plot points to doing a terrible job of fleshing out its setting, it is entirely amateurish and does just about nothing right beyond some good action scenes from time to time. I'm on a phone right now so I can't go into the fine details, but suffice it to say it would be bad without the whole "I love my brother" subplot.

Tenchi gets a pass for several reasons:
1) it doesn't shove it in your face like SAO
2) they're alien royalty with foreign customs
3) most of that attraction is relegated to joke status as the girls bicker
4) the show is hard to take seriously. a lot of its appeal comes from just how ABSURD it gets.

I disagree on your points about the quality of the show (pacing, characters, writing, etc.) but I wanted to thank you for actually giving me a response that both answered my question and fleshed out an opinion beyond "Fucking incest show. Its bullshit".

There are 2 reasons why this vote won't be counted in it's current state. The first is that it has no explanation for any vote. I don't have to explain the second reason.

Am I allowed to vote for SAO twice? It's one of the worst anime I've seen in ages. I didn't care that much about SD Gundam so it's on the list.

FLCL will save your anime souls.

I hope that's the bad Star Wars I picked. If not I'll change it. And Bobobo was hilarious when I watched it, so I'll stick to that unless something else is threatened. Also don't know much about SAO.

Toonami is a television block on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim that specializes in action cartoons.
It played a major role in the anime boom of the late 90's/early 2000's, bringing in fan favorites like DBZ, Sailor Moon and Naruto.
It was cancelled in 2008 when Cartoon Network lost their shit and tried to be Nickelodeon 2.0. But on April 1st 2012, Adult Swim held a special airing of Toonami that re-invigorated interest in the block. One month later, Toonami returned to the airwaves and has been growing and growing since with no signs of stopping.

Kill - Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Kill - The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest
Save - FLCL

EDIT: Forgot the reasons - my bad.

Never understood why they put reruns of Star Wars: TCW on Toonami, nor do I want to see shows like Jonny Quest. I largely view Toonami as an anime block, so that's how I'm calling it. Also, I still regard FLCL as the greatest anime of all time.

Come on people, you guys are starting off with trying to kill Sword Art Online, a mediocre show, but of all the other horrible show on the list? Didn't like GT because the original author wasn't really involved with it. Wulin Warriors, never knew about that before this thread, I guess I'm up for killing it.

Calling Sword Art Online a mediocre show is an insult to mediocre shows.

You cast a vote for the CGI animated Clone Wars. I won't claim to know your opinions on both shows.

Hey, I posted this at the end of the 90s survivor thread. What do you think? Voting may also become more interesting and less stale if a rule change is made where you can't kill-vote the same show twice.

Jado said:
I noticed there were problems enforcing the rule that one write something to support their votes and people constantly reminding offending posters.

Here's my suggestion: if you choose to write nothing with your picks, you only get a single kill vote. No second kill, no save. If a person insists on listing two kills and a save, the second kill and the one save still don't count. If we want to be a bit crueler, the one kill can count as half a normal vote (0.5), really drive the point home that drive-by posts are worth much less to the thread.

Only individuals who write a couple of short sentences that say something about all three picks have their full votes counted. Copying and pasting from one of your previous posts should be acceptable if your voting is identical. Shouldn't always have to come up with something new to say.

As much as I love that idea, It';s complicated. Let's try and keep this contest as simple as possible
