Top Toonami Bracketology!

where is yuyu hakusho??? where is big o????

No Ranma ½?

Pokemon shouldn't have been on this list when the majority of it (and what they talk about) ran on Kids WB.

I watched this live and I thought it was quite fun! Looking forward to the adult swim bracket.

No Outlaw Star? No Yu Yu Hakusho? This entire process is INVALIDATED!

: P

It was very brave of you all to put up a video ranking anime. These comments are going to get spicy!

Godspeed Duders, lol

Just starting this, I'm going to bet Dragon Ball Z takes it, but if they let One Piece take it on the account of the Toonami dub I will be upset

I don't associate Pokemon with Toonami at all. It was always a Kids WB thing for me, same with Yu Gi Oh! Anybody else feel the same?

This is a playlist of songs from Toonami bumpers https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7zWFWrwlhCogOfV5xkt4Rc

there is an episode of cyborg 009 where they fight a pair of brothers who were turned into a "positive" and "negative" electric android pair and the end was so tragic that it made an edgy 12 year old me sob deeply

9am ct every Saturday, I've never seen an episode of Pokemon on Toonami.

This is my only criticism of this feature, which was very fun, but this is about anime opinions so fuck this it was fucking trash I'm so angry.

"They have a long time to world build though." True Jan. Very true.

@typographenia: My thoughts exactly

This list is DESPERATELY disappointing. Basically not worth listening to, sorry boys. Only good picks are YuGiOh, Sailor Moon, Teen Titans and Cyborg 009. What's weird is I know that C009 is a lot older than most of the stuff on this list, but it's missing so many bangers! Yu Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, FLCL, not even Death Note? Not much chance then of underrated gems like Big O, Paranoia Agent or Trigun. I know this is gonna be the main comment and y'all don't wanna hear it, but it has to be said cause this made me sad.

@waiguobao: agreed. Yu Yu Hakusho and Big O were very prevalent during the era of Toonami they took shows from.

also, pokemon? Maaaaan, I don't know if that should be on the list.

With all that being said, this should be a fun time.

I have no idea what they're talking about but go POKEMON!!!

zoids was robbed

I love when I come to the site I legitamtely have no idea what random ass shit is going to be posted. You guys are champs for the amount of content you're producing and still seeming to be handling the quarantine well.

Thanks!

I love that this exists, but I cannot watch it. My opinions are too heated and I will have no form of catharsis by the end of it. I will however mute the video and let it play in the background for site traffic.

Fun watch but disappointing that this wasn't actually all Toonami shows.

Hell yeah. Fuck that GI Joe shit Jeff and Brad are always on about. It's the millennials' turn.

This is da good content

GB: We really are the Last of Anime

If this goes the same way The New Days' bracket of television shows went, we might have a definitive answer of the best TV show of all time!

One Piece looks like absolute shit in anime form, but the art in the manga is sublime.

As a gay man, Sailor Moon in 3rd grade was a huge influence on my sexual awakening. Also yeah, Sailor Mars is 100% the best. At least where I lived, everyone hated Tuxedo Mask and thought he was lame.

Re the Kids WB v Tonnami picks, at least in Australia, Kids WB came way after Toonami.

Edit: WOW that Naruto v One Piece upset!

Edit2: Sailor Moon was robbed. Such an iconic and influential aesthetic.

Edit3: Listening to Tamoor make a case for Naruto is making me want to watch it...

Zoids out in round 1? This entire bracket is in question!

Cyborg 009 was a great anime and a classic. It has stories and themes that actually resonates with you instead of relying on tired old shonen tropes. If you have a problem with the art style, try the 2001 show which updated it in some good ways. I have no idea if the latest reboot is any good, though.

Wait... are they actually talking about the 2001 reboot? I'm feeling old now.

One Piece completely lost me after the time skip. Everything after that just felt stale and single fights drag like hell.

Yu Yu? Outlaw Star? Big O? Where are you?!?!?!? Besides these gross oversights, pretty fun content.

@dracomaster01: had a tough match up. But yes, that's an underappreciated show.

I had this initial reaction too, but after I thought about it, there are a lot of animes like Yu Yu Hakusho and Outlaw Star that are associated more with Adult Swim. I mean, Cowboy Bebop was on Adult Swim, so this would be a much different bracket if we were including those shows.

Cursed video

@chaser324: I guess over time they might have (def in Big O's case). To me, they're all part of the lineup that really made Toonami

This was a lot of fun. I would love more videos like this in the future.

this was fun! glad ya'll respect one piece since during my school days naruto and bleach were the shit and everyone thought one piece was boring. i disagree with naruto winning over it but at least ya'll see it's good qualities.

also while there wasn't much to the gundam matchup g gundam is 100% the right choice. i know most real robot gundam fans hate it but like... it's a fighting tournament with giant robots??? that's fun and dumb as shit. not everything has to be real robot , embrace super robot.

No puffy amiyumi?? Had their own fun show and also provided the theme song to teen titans!!!

Gotta do an Adult Swim bracket! Although, that list could get long.

"dragonball raised us in the hood"

Are any of these guys aware Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon are way older than Toonami? They were syndicated on network TV before cable.

This is amazing and Mr. Mime is Ashes father.

take this video down its so bad
@janman I can't believe you did that at the end you are done to me.

this is top tier content, and the exact kind of bullshit that drives my love for this site.

No Blue Sub #6?

Let me say my piece on Tenchi. No chance against Sailor Moon, of course, but man that show is underrated. Anime Star Wars? That's my jam! The harem elements are what they are, but I really enjoyed that show back in the day.

Lining up Hamtaro against DragonBall Z is a crime. No Outlaw Star? but this is great

Just waiting for the Adult Swim Anime Bracket so Cowboy Bebop can get its due.

@typographenia: Yeah, the lack of Outlaw Star startled me as well.

One Piece was robbed :o

This was fun! Thanks all!
