CorbeauKarasu Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 there have been some occasional stinkers in the past. I feel like the worst shows Toonami has ever aired are as follows: 11. Dimension W 10. Dragon Ball GT 9. Zatch Bell 8. Tokyo Ghoul 7. Tenchi Muyo GXP/Tenchi in Tokyo 6. Sword Art Online/Sword Art Online II 5. Star Wars: The Clone Wars 4. The Batman 3. D.I.C.E. 2. Beware the Batman 1. Fantastic Four : World's Greatest Heroes with honorable mention for garbage duds that aired on AS, but not Toonami: Pilot Candidate, Reign the Conqueror, Trinity Blood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Don't forget Super and Casshern Sins. Oh and Samurai 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarwind Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The only shows since the Toonami revival that I've felt really no motivation to watch were Tenchi Muyo GXP, Beware the Batman, and Dragon Ball Super. I thought all the other shows were okay, though admittedly a lot of them weren't for Toonami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daos Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'll never understand how Tokyo Ghoul ended up being so highly requested if people have such disdain for it It's because they use some random Tumblr poll that only 50 people know about. The fact that they actually request a 2009 anime like Fairy Tail over every single recent popular anime leads me to believe that it's a complete joke. Not that I wouldn't prefer FT over most of the stuff on the block now, but seeing it in the top 3 in 2017? I don't buy that at all. If they actually wanted to they could make a new poll, and bump it on Toonami with a simple "Go here to tell us what anime you want to see." They'd actually get enough people to form a decent sample size and make better decisions. Even most of the TG manga fans think the anime sucks. But I always found DW more baffling, as no one had even heard of it and the manga had no following or critical acclaim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasqueradeOverture Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Casshern and Samurai 7 were really beautiful, though. They were both forgettable (and in Casshern's case, pretentious). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Personally surprised Akame ga KILL! didn't make the list. And personally relieved that Dimension W isn't at the very bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone want FT on Toonami at this point when their are multiple ways to binge it. Like "Yeah I've always wanted to see that at a once a week pace" As for DW, Funimation was on the production committee and they probably wanted a quicker return on investment than just streaming would allow is my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I personally thought Tokyo Ghoul was decent until the end of the first season, and then it degenerated into a gigantic ball of nihilism and misanthropy I try to avoid in 2017. That show's destiny has since become trapped as background noise while I play The Binding of Isaac. To compare, I had mildly similar problems with Deadman Wonderland. I actually didn't care for it in the end because it went from something that was not very good, but you couldn't take your eyes away from (especially during the Hummingbird fight) to a generic shonen battle anime with built-in fatalism. Dimension W gets a shrug from me. Maybe I'll look for it again some time and give it another watch, but I wasn't even a fan of the parts of the series I could actually comprehend. Beware the Batman is far from the best Batman series, though I actually found it decent for what it wanted to be. Watch me end up reflexively hating it once I see another one, however. :robotP My Sword Art Online opinion is as follows: Aincrad, good; Alfheim, bad; Phantom Bullet, okay, and it might be the best arc if you remove the rapey parts; Excalibur, boring but competent, so I'll give it that, and Mother's Rosario, almost a war crime. Finally, I haven't seen enough episodes of DB Super to rate it, but I'll probably come up with something after Goku Black happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I witnessed its gradual descension into awfulness. DW - bless it, it tried. I also feel sorry for Funimation since it made a deal with Toonami to air a broadcast dub in a one-time thing similar to Space Dandy and it backfired. Didn't stay to see that Batman series. SAO wavered for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianycpht Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 What's weird is that they talk about Wulin being pulled after two episodes "mid week" after 2 episodes which they claim was hard to do and usually it is easier to just let it play for one week and then pull it. They were under the impression that it ran on weekdays it seems. The only time they pulled something mid week on OG Toonami was Mobile Suit Gundam after 9/11. Maybe they were thinking of that.

What's wrong with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
