Mr. Pickles sucks.

I thought the first few episodes were interesting when I first saw them, but the others are just bad. And the first few have next to no replay value, so I can't even really watch those anymore.

No you don't understand man, its showing the theme of the show and is satirical and something about Hitler and the Nazi's man.

he's blaming the imminent apocalypse on a man who had ZERO loving INVOLVEMENT with it

he has sentenced an INNOCENT MAN TO DEATH because he has no loving sense of right and wrong, and thinks that half-assed attempts to salve public opinion are more important than TRYING TO PREVENT THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF HOLY TERRA

He isn't blaming Simon. The angry mobs are. They tore down Kamina's statue. They blame Team Gurran for leading them out onto the surface only for it to turn out to be a death trap. Its not logical or right or smart, its mob mentality.

He is trying to save as many lives as possible, getting people into what he thought at the time were adequate shelters or offworld. You can't relocate and evacuate a population that doesn't trust you and are rioting in the streets. The only way he say to get the people to trust him enough to let him try and save them is to give them what they want, for someone to be help responsible for what was happening, the person they already blamed.

Its not right, its ugly, but its not illogical or stupid. Basically its the good of the one against the good of the many. If the only way to get the people to let him save them is to sacrifice one man, he is willing to do it.

Personally I think the mistake people made is watching Kill la Kill on their own instead of being patient, waiting for when Adult Swim inevitably picked it up and watching it for their first time as a support group

Hey now, the first 12 or so episodes are at least semi-decent.

Its the second half of the show where things sort of fall apart and get a little boring.

Well I mean, if you can get past the incessant T&A shots.

No I actually like the show, but its just I've seen some really stupid posts that try to justify it as a genuinely ingenious show instead of a dumb show with fun characters and good music.

Oh, in that case I'm 100% on board with you.

To be honest, I only started watching Gurren Lagan with this cycle on Toonami. For years I've heard of it being hyped over and over, and I can see why (even though my thoughts were always "there's no way it can be that good"). Comparing the two shows, I finally have some perspective as to why some people were so disappointed or annoyed.
At the same time, now that I think of it, they share far too much in common, even in structure.

Troy Baker hasn't done anime for years. Get with the program, Gitmo.

Also, the Black Lagoon dub was Canadian.

Ocean Group is really good and they've been known to work with Viz before so there's a decent chance they'd be the ones to do the dub if it was licensed. Which I'd be ok with.

Actually I think they do most of their dubs out of Studiopolis now like Aniplex.
That's why the test dub had Matt Mercer and Patrick Seitz as Jotaro and Dio respectively.

Viz also hates Canada and refuses to stream their stuff to them.

Okay, about Goonami this week.

I never got around to trying to fix my streaming stuff, so we might just have to suck it up and watch Slayers with subs. If that's completely out of the question, I could put on some replacement programming like an episode of MST3K or something.

However, I managed to find a direct download of the hardsubbed versions of the last two episodes of Yoshihiko, so once I upload those to Dailymotion tomorrow, that's 100% happening.

Edit: We could also watch the Persona 5 trailer for an hour instead of Slayers. I'd be cool with that.

There is not even remotely a good chance they'd be the ones to do the dubbing since they already got California VAs to do the test dub episodes which Viz are the ones who most likely put them out.
