I got to admit. The editing in the AMV is great, despite the creepy subject matter.
Seriously. This wouldn't even phase AnimeGAF!
Now, if you posted "K-on sucks!", on the other hand...

In other news, RWBY is coming to Japan.

Great news, it's the second best American action animation currently airing!
*crying*
That part about the first anime style show from America being marketed in Japan can't be true. They never got Avatar at all? Or those Marvel movies/shows?

Avatar got a partial dub at least, but I think it didn't finish, and in interviews Platinum said Korra is not airing in Japan.

Didn't he just do the pairings? I don't remember an actual fan fiction.

Good music
Good character designs
Good fight scenes maybe sometimes
...uh did I mention the music?
Mostly more than the actual quality of the product, it's just important that it exists because American action animation is on life support, and the success of RWBY shows there's potential to escape from the network execs and investors and make an indepedent animation series online that has so much that would keep it from being made as a TV show nowadays, like a predominantly female cast, action focus, and serial storytelling. Certainly I wish I wasn't cringing constantly while watching it, but I'm glad it was made.
But I guess if you're just content to simply watch anime (like some kind of monster), then you can't sympathize with forcing myself to watch Korra and RWBY because they're American products that superficially have elements I like from anime.

RWBY's great. I've been keeping up with Monty and his work for a while, since Dead Fantasy and Haloid.
Hell, i'm assuming my thread flew by everyone.

I couldn't get into it, apparently it did get really good later on but it just strung like most recent Rooster Teeth stuff as it just reminds me of their glory days

FTFY, I struggled though S9 and gave up mid way though S10, one weekend I may sit down and attempt to struggle though them but those two seasons left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Are we talking about fanart or "fanart" here?
I'm really enjoying Aldnoah Zero so far. I mean its not the best series or anything but its definitely entertaining. I think it would be a good fit for Toonami. Main character has that perfect "Ichigo I don't give two shits" delivery but without any goofiness at all. Like Ichigo on ritalin.

I had a good response to this, but my computer reset and I lost it, so short version is
S1-5 great comedy series
S6-8 good comedy series with a bit more story focused that worked as a foil to the rvb silly ness and the cg was mostly used for looney toons esque scenes with the rvb team failing
S9-10 from what I remember were too serious trying to do the monty oum crazy action thing and focus too much on the freelancer story. Should have been a spinoff series or a completely separate story.
Never saw s11 or s12

I dunno why they would skip over the much better received Fate/Zero for Aldnoah (which is still fairly new).
That said it is fun to watch for all the wrong reasons. I already expressed my feelings about the series earlier. I am still desperately looking for JoJo dubbing news. It is killing me. That show NEEDS to be on Toonami as soon as AoT finishes.
Loli-ho!
Well, it'd be another boring show.
It's bland and blah.
Basically, Hiro Mashima (the writer) really wanted to make One Piece. Only he has none of the talent, at least in the writing.
More like he tried to combine One Piece and Harry Potter without understanding why either worked. He's got a certain amount of talent, Rave got really good near the end, he just threw it all away in the persuit of cash.
That's a shame.
His art has definitely gotten better, even though half of it is fanservice that borders on porn. I wouldn't be surprised if his next series is Seinen.

Actually get a good night's rest.
I know a lot of people don't like it, but it does seem to be popular, so from a commercial perspective it wouldn't be bad.

The only long-running shonen that need to be on Toonami now are JoJo and Hunter x Hunter. Fairy Tail would just take a potential slot away from those two.

I like it, personally. Hell, another episode just came out.
It has its moments and I don't have a problem with it. Although, like people said, Hiro Mashima really tried to go for a One Piece look, he was motivated by it.
However, Hiro Mashima pulls more from Rave Master than he does from One Piece. Even then, I'd prefer another shonen on Toonami.
Btw, adding onto the list of possible shows, doubled up Uncut Naruto is a possibility too.

Is Gintama dubbed, now there's a long running show they could get.
Nope. I don't ever see it working dubbed.

Ah, i've only seen the first two episodes. It seems to be a lot more well thought of than Fairy Tail.
It's a comedy series with a heavy reliance on Japanese culture. A bit hard to translate.

Toonami could use some more comedy than just Space Dandy!

Nah. If you want comedy, there's every other non-Toonami hour of cartoon programing on US TV.
