I can't believe they kept getting shows greenlit. Tom Goes To The Mayor should have been a career-ender, and yet they were continually given more opportunities to confuse and nauseate audiences thru 2014.
I miss the days when Adult Swim was just Futurama, Family Guy, and anime.
I miss when it had better anime too.
the biggest problem is the entire anime viewer has changed over the last 10 years. its not even pirates anymore, cruchyroll/anime strike(FUCK YOU AMAZON) and their ilk has made it so anime on tv is fucking pointless. lets not mention that the anime starts at like 1 am cst now! GRRR

Crunchyroll doesn't have enough dubs, imo. Many properties that I know for a fact have been dubbed and dubbed well (looking at YOU, Jojo), all they've got is the japanese audio.
And now Netflix is starting to get that way too. They've got One Punch Man, for example, but only the JAP audio. I had to pirate it to watch it in english. I can understand (even without agreeing) why Crunchyroll might do this weeb shit, but Netflix oughta fuckin know better.

As my old man used to say, that's not a reason, that's an excuse.
Toonami anime...
- DBZ Super is fun and way more like Dragonball than Z.
- JoJo is love. JoJo is life. And I'd never have watched it if it hadn't been for Toonami.
- Unicorn Gundam sure is a Gundam show!
- Haven't gotten a chance to see Tokyo Ghoul, but I know it did well in Japan.
- Naruto is almost over. I can't wait for the time slot to be freed up.
- I actually really liked OnePiece but FUCK ME if I'm staying up to 2:30-3am to watch it.
Which is why it stayed on the air. When big name stars offer to do spots on your budget show for peanuts, you keep that show on the air. No matter how awful it becomes.

You know who loves Tim and Eric? Weird Al, John C. Reilly, Jack Black, and lots of other serious comedians... which is why they all got parts on the show.

This is one of the reasons Netflix has gotten into the anime game: they want first draft of anime seasons AND dubs. And they are doing decently well: I'm digging the hell out of Little Witch Academia.

The majority of anime I keep and recommend is stuff I first saw on Adult Swim back in the day. GITS:SAC. Fullmetal Alchemist. Death Note. S-Cry-Ed. Cowboy Bebop. Big O. FLCL. Black Lagoon. Code Geass. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Kill la Kill. Paranoia Agent. Samurai Champloo. Heh, even Shin-Chan.
Is it in English?
(looks it up on phone)
Doesn't look like it.
Meh. Maybe someday.
Meantime... looks like Ouran High School Host Club *is* actually dubbed... soooo I might finally get around to watching that, I suppose.
Netflix doesn't like doing English releases unless they can dump it all at once. Little Witch Academia is currently in it's second cour and won't be over until... early July, I think? It should have 25 episodes so at least 10 more weeks. After that, the dub SHOULD come reasonably quickly, as Netflix owns the rights in both the US and Japan.
I know why the seller did not have the Taiwan jerseys, but had all the other teams, even Israel... The seller is in China.

I like it, and I'm near the middle of your range. Thus the answer to your query is, "no". I haven't kept up with it, but once it completes I'll find it and find out how it all wraps up.

Duh.
Well, it is that time of year where I can no longer buy chocolate covered donuts. They are always melted due to the unairconditioned trucks.
Na, just sit outside and dip your marshmallows into your Hershey Bar.
...Goddammit. Figures. (And their annoying "Chinese Taipei" instead of Taiwan bull.) I still really want to get him one. I looked at the warm up jacket but they only had XL left.
It used to be easier when I worked right above an MLB store.
