For a television show, "merit" would be defined as: popularity and success. NO ONE can say DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, Sailor Moon, Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! do not fit that description. All of those shows are still popular to this day as they are still on TV, or in Sailor Moon's case, will be revamped next year. If they sucked, no one would want to see them again.
Also, "those three shows suck pretty hard" is strictly an opinion, and has no evidence to back it up. If they TRULY sucked, they would never have broken away from the otaku and into mainstream entertainment.
The Toonami staff have stated the most requested shows to return to Toonami included: DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, and Zatch Bell.

I'm kinda disappointed in Toonami ._.
Why are people with bad tastes allowed to request things? Too many 80's/90's shows. I don't even think One Piece or Zatch Bell is fully dubbed. Sailor Moon dub was terribad. Why would people want Naruto and not Shippuden lol.
They should air FLCL again. Or Clannad or something lol.
Well, with a limited budget, you can only expect so much. But considering the amount of shows they've gotten and the fact that they expanded to 6 hours, they've done really well.
"Bad taste" is an opinion and doesn't change the fact that all of these shows (except maybe Zatch Bell) are very popular, though most want them back purely for nostalgia for the "real Toonami".
They never said how many people wanted Shippuden, but I'm guessing there were plenty to go along with the requests for the original. Either way, it doesn't matter since they can't get Shippuden until Disney drops it.
Clannad? People are already demanding Tenchi Muyo! GXP be taken off the air. I could only imagine the backlash if they pick up Clannad...
Opinion. You can't argue with success.
And yes it is my OPINION, but the dub does not suck. The acting is not bad, and the voices fit the characters pretty well. Is it perfect? No. Nothing is perfect. But is it terrible? No. I've heard FAR worse. Dig up some of the earliest dubbed anime.

Do they still say loopy fist?
The yeah. if that is how you define merit then it would have merit.
Popularity doesn't reflect quality. And yes, they do suck.Also, "those three shows suck pretty hard" is strictly an opinion, and has no evidence to back it up. If they TRULY sucked, they would never have broken away from the otaku and into mainstream entertainment.
Zatch Bell? Ew.The Toonami staff have stated the most requested shows to return to Toonami included: DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sailor Moon, and Zatch Bell.
pirate detective
You know the exact reason for that. I do hope that is a rhetorical question >3>...lol
ZATCH BELL. I want that to be finished D:...Though I guess it doesn't matter anyway because the anime WAS cut short overall as well...>3>...
I wouldn't mind DBZ re-runs, I might watch it because I do tend to search up random episodes at random times to watch them. So now I could just turn on the TV. lol But I digress, it doesn't matter. Isn't toonami mostly action? Would clannad REALLY fit on it?
I wouldn't mind a change of pace (because I liked clannad), but that seems very off from toonami, ANY toonami (even the kinds WB :OOO)...feel free to prove me wrong though.
Lets see...what shows would fit on Toonami? (Since that has obviously become the topic here >3>...)
Uhm...I'm not sure. I just like to see anime on television again. (I never had access to fundimations channel. ever. lol)

Clannad's dub is terrible, why would you willingly expose people to that torture?
really? I found the Dub to be quite enjoy-able. I litterally switched between the dub and Japanese version because I was watching it through Youtube (whatever i found the next episode in lol), and I didn't notice any difference in my enjoyment of the series. I think thats opinion. :P

Yeah...its a little better. Only because of the repetitive words (Gyo? defu?) not said correctly, and in the end, the quick "I love you" got a chuckle out of me anyway. xD (Not to mention the laugh at the end was funny to. They directly translated the script @.@....xD
But the voices are great to me. I freaken love Tomoya's english voice. I really think it fits him. XD
EDIT: I love FISH
not I love you...lol

Exactly.
On the Clannad subject I can't watch it dubbed. I just don't think it fits at all. If people wanna watch it dubbed that's fine, as long as there's no significant changes to the script I'm glad they've at least seen it.
But I ain't touching that with a ten foot pole.
...and a toilet seat cover.
When it comes down to cold-hard cash, no, sometimes you just can't.
Clannad! Clannad? To boot, you judge its English track first? It's English track which would play if it got a block in Toonami?
This is why I have strided away from Japanese media, the many thick-skulled fans. Then again my presence here and the Gundam model and comic in my signature do bring this to question. Anyways, Clannad on Toonami is a dumb idea in the first place, Toonami's mainly there to deliver action catered towards a older teen-aged male audience. Clannad's girly, the main audience watching Toonami doesn't want that!
