All to be on Toonami

Edit: Panty and Stocking and HOTD is probably going to be on Adult Swim soon anyway.

Macross Frontier won’t happen. Too many licensing issues to even get it a normal release stateside.

Elfen Lied.

From this preview the dub is sounding pretty good

To one’s taste their own dude. Im personally not a fan of Panty and Stockings overall style. Reminds me of Power-puff girls/Invader Zim on meth that tried too hard to appease American audience. If i had to pick between the two then yeah Panty and Stockings logically has a better chance to be on Toonami then HOTD because it can probably appease the general adult swim audience. Toilet humor and rudeness is nothing foreign to Adult Swim typical weeknight lineup (I say Boondocks would be exception)and would probably get the high ratings. HOTD was censored in Japan TV when it aired their and to be honest the story is more then “breasts”. I only say that the possibility for HOTD on Toonami are pretty reasonable due to their mature content disclaimers,them having higher tolerances now on the matter of sex content,the likelihood censoring certain scenes like how Japan did, and more importantly the following the show has in the west (you can call it overhyped if you wish) for good ratings and fits the NEW toonami feel

edit:Would still watch it on Toonami though for the hell of it regarding Panty and Stockings

Saikaino.

I win.

Hawkingbird, ehh, it’s alright, it doesn’t make my ears bleed, but Panty’s voice sounds like they took a VA from a horribly dubbed hentai.

I like that Fly Away song from P&S…it kinda has a Daft Punk feel to it mixed with something else that I’m having a hard time putting my finger on.

Most of the music on PandS OST is great stuff.

But THE WORST ALBUM is where it’s at.

“Uh, ah, uh, ah, fuck me!”

Elfen Lied went almost suddenly from heartbreaking and sick to fucking hilarious.

especially the whole decapitating people in the middle of their sentences thing.

SAIKAINO

I WIN.

Got to say for “depressing”:shake: go School Days or Magical Madoka just for the troll factor based on how upbeat/fun their OP and trailers are :rofl: . “sad” would be another story though. WOuld love to see a reaction video of the typical adult swim viewer seeing that sh1t.:wtf:

Most depressing anime ever tier list :Saikano, Technolyxe, Grave of The Fireflies, Bokurano, Magical Madoka, NGE, SEL, Not A Human Anymore.

Nothing is more depressing than that tier list in terms of anime.

Unpredictable deconstruction depressing>telegraphed overall depressing
School Days and Madoka Magica takes this due to the amount of impact the typical viewer feels by the end like they got hit by a train. If something is predictable depressing you would simply get used to it

School Days wasn’t surprising, if you knew anything about the games, you knew where the show was headed.

Same with Madoka, the ending cinematics of the show gave it away.

Both of those shows are just hitting the emotion, my shows attack and critizise the way you live.

“Your philosophy, fuck that noise, we’ll show you how we do it over here and why you’re wrong.”

Have you ever been blown away by something that is astronomically more gay than you expected it to be in the span of one sentence? caress them…yes…gay people are always godlike in animes…yeah thank god goku went super sayajin and vaporized him…I hate frieza…

edit: but gay people are all cool. all love for the gay’s. yay goku. anybody else think goku is kind of gay though? like, compared to a normal sayajin, he is pretty gay, but that would make him enlightened and powerful in anime and thus super powerful? He could be like will smith and jada pinket. Come to think of it, have you ever seen will smith kiss a woman? will smith is a hollywood super sayajin, and probably gay too. I know for a fact that John Travolta is gay, and he is over 9000. Vegeta would be more powerful if he was gay I think. Goku is probably jus metro, not gay though

could you give me a very brief description of those animes, and why they are depressing?

and I looked up Saikano, it doesn’t sound sad at all.

Obviously this is implying if you did not play the visual novels and spoiled yourself and even if you did, the game had numerous paths/endings and it could have went numerous ways as the show advanced. It could have had a happy harem ending for all we knew and people were going apesh1t when last ep. was delayed and the troll “nice boat” aired. Madoka yeah would be more predictable then School days because it does not hide behind upbeat op/ed themes. But the show did a 360 “sh1t just got real moment” by ep 3. Grave of the Fireflies I would say in your list is what best described telegraphed overall depression. NOTHING is more DEPRESSING then a tale showing children in a real historical war and dying. However all I’m saying is overall impact of feeling depressed/empty as you finish the series makes School Days/Magical Madoka based on how literally starting innocent enough and even tries to hide it then suddenly shows true colors as the shows progress. When you said “depressing” its vague enough that i can go for the “hitting the emotion” route if it means it has a bigger empty feeling especially when you had different expectations.

Guess my best analogy would be the stock market. Grave of the Fireflies is no doubt depressing from a glance and that makes the stock value $100 and your expectations for this show in a general sense in realized. School Days and Magical Madoka are worth $20 since they are hiding under sheeps clothing. As both groups content is shown Grave of the Fireflies keeps a steady value of $100 while School day and Magical Madoka gain value. In the end the sheeps clothing depressing shows nets $200 while Grave of the Fireflies nets $150. The reason why those netted more depression points is because it was outside your established comfort zones. Yes WAR ZONES are depressing as hell no lie, but its already implied that it will be depressing thus decreases expectations.

While on topic of depression and Toonami; this has to be without a doubt the most depressing thing they aired on Toonami…literally :sad:
[media=youtube]Ll_792l1iZk[/media]
sh1t imagine all the kids who watched this and hear Peter Cullen say “TOM IS DEAD” His agony scream was intense lol…Then again Krillin got used to it:rofl:

Ok i know a few of those without needing to look up. Grave of the Fireflies is most constant depressing thing i seen and its obvious why. Its takes place in WW2 environment with a young kid and his little sister struggling to live… Bokurano changed a bit from manga to anime but in a nutshell its about kids who are suddenly thrust in mecha death matches and alot of the kids are in deadly situations. Madoka Magica is a “magical girl” genre (think sailor Moon) that suddenly turns dark with depressing situations after you make a contract with a little creature. Neon Genisis Evangellion…nuff said that show is too mainstream just youtube that one

two words for those who want bullets and breasts: Dessert Punk.

-Starhammer-

That show is fucking amazing sir, I watched it on the Netflix last summer, along with elfen lied and Samurai Champloo.

P.S. Samurai Champloo is possibly the best Anime ever made IMO.

So something is less depressing if you expect it to be?

That makes no sense.

Someone can have cancer and expect to die in 3 years, we all know it’s coming, is it LESS depressing because we do?
