SAO is good TV because I get to watch it and make fun of it with all my Toonami thread friends. It is the perfect storm of bad anime and I love it.

Ultimately Toonami briefly existed to give us Space Dandy and in that context I am completely fine with its short, doomed existence through following it up with shows that are bad and not good like Dandy was.

still loling @ demarco being stupid enough to think running AoT 3 times in full in less than a year was okay. still loling @ the fact demarco was stupid enough to think having a movie month with no new movies was okay.

I'd ask why this thread is 90% Toonami talk when hardly anybody thinks the block is good, but I know that the answer is that people on the internet love talking about things that they hate. Since I don't concern myself with stuff I don't like, I'm wondering if they're gonna make new China IL and Aqua I-Have-No-Idea-What-They're-Calling-It-Now.

No, it's easy to talk about things you like too. I just hate how Adult Swim schedules their... everything else. At least with the mocking anime there's a bunch of it at one time. With everything else on AS's lineup, it's like, I've gotta wait through all those Family Guy reruns for just one new Eric Andre/Mike Tyson Mysteries? gently caress that noise that's what God made On Demand for.

The first movie month had me really hyped for the future of toonami and I thought it'd do a bunch of other cool stuff over time as well. If only I knew!

Well apparently it has lightsabers so I guess it's more like GUNZ THE DUEL?

Oh and I guess it's one of those sexist MMOs like Scarlet Blade so Kirito is a girl now

This makes the show look amazing though, I doubt it can live up to that

The lightsaber is actually supposed to be a useless joke weapon.

BUT KIRITO IS KIRITO AND IS AWESOME WITH IT.

My problem with SAO2 is that the death gun storyline is just boring and then it kind of meanders for a while after Kirito does his thing and gets another waifu for his ALO harem. I didn't actually finish season two though so who knows what nonsense happens after that.

I for one am thankful for the sweet nectar of Dragon Ball Z (The greatest piece of fiction to grace this or any generation) and the banquet of bad anime delights that toonami sets before me week after week

as long as they don't bring back attack on titan

The problem with SAO is that their world is still having .hack issues with all these virtual reality games trapping people and killing them and NO ONE ANYWHERE IS RAISING A STINK ABOUT THEIR CONTINUED EXISTENCE. If it was just one or two games than it would be as insane, but apparently there are even more stories repeating the same loving problem over and over again, specifically challenging Kirito to beat their stupid death trap MMO.

In the end, isn't that a fairly accurate depiction of MMO's and the players that play them?

Yes well supposedly you're not supposed to be able to die in these new MMOs , which is the big 'mystery' of Death Gun and why am I explaining this..

No, that's way too much effort to put into people that will likely poopsock themselves to death of their own volition. Unless one of them actually is trying to cure people of their terrible video game obsession, it is wasted time in a genre that can kill people well enough without telling them they're trapped in their Google Glass headset.

But doesn't the original Japanese owners hate them or something? Oh well, it's too much effort for them to try to remove it. I'm going to make so many Ghost Nappas that just switch bodies and self damage, Xenoverse will be a troll paradise.
