OMG YURI ON ICE WHAAAAAT

Алта

Ahh Yuri on ice, haven’t heard this title in a long time Voting for it for sure

Sharles Davis Kendy

Bocchi the Rock definitely the best on this list. What's a guy gotta do to get a show ON the list though?

Ashley hui

Come on my fellow Skip and loafer fans! let’s united 🤣

Sarah

Add it to the Pinned Message in the Anime channel on Discord!

Mild

PLISSS I WANT YURI ON ICE SOOOO BAD, I DIDN'T EVEN KNEW IT WAS AN OPTION BUT I NEED IT

TrianaNero

Barakamon barely has any reactions to it, but it’s an incredibly feel-good and heart-warming anime (not to mention very short), I really hope you’ll have a chance to check it out eventually 🥺

Sharles Davis Kendy

Oh dang, there's a lot of good shows out there. I got a dark horse recommendation though so we'll see if it ever works out.

Judy

Yuri on Ice?????? Aaaaaaaaaa omg this HAS to win. Fellow Yuri on Ice fans lets make it happen!! 🤜🏽

Linh Tran

Ooohhh, these are all great picks, but I'm all for Skip and Loafer this time

Matthew Lutz

They're great either way but just curious if this will be another Sarah solo adventure or if Adam will grace us with his presence and commentary as well?

riddle

omg omg barakamon!!!!!!! im honestly really surprised this one made it to the poll because i feel like it isn't particularly popular. but it is so cute and wholesome, i know you guys will for sure love it.

alexi christian

barakamon brings back such good memories i absolutely loved the story and would love your and adam’s heartfelt reactions

TrianaNero

Having seen how both you and Adam enjoyed Totoro, I think you’d like Barakamon as well — they approached their respective narratives quite differently, but some core elements of both works are similar.

A.B.Dubbz

Will you be making a anime movie pinned list too?

Ayan

oh wow i haven't seen yuri on ice since it first aired when i was in high school. i have no idea how it holds up but revisiting it sounds fun haha

Ayan

they are watching it through discord watch parties and have already put the VODs of their reaction to the first two episodes on here.

Erin Shin

kotaro lives alone definitely won’t get as many views since it was a small netflix anime, but i highly recommend watching, even if it’s not recorded 🫶

SDCWW171

I feel conflicted because I want to vote for Bocchi the Rock, but I don't know if they could handle all the second hand embarrassment, consideringhow they reacted to early season 4 of Haikyu...

Chawamushi

im a older gen otaku that only heard of yuri on ice hahaha but im happy to watch the new series with sarah🫶🏼

Marcos C.

Bocchi for life!

Shalini Paul

Can I recommend School babysitters? It’s a short, 12 episode anime, but it’s so adorable 🥰 It’s about two recently orphaned brothers given a home and tuition to a prestigious academy - under the condition that the elder brother works at the school's daycare centre.

M1GZ

Highly suggest watching mob psycho as well perhaps after this show its 36 episodes and its really amazing its in my top 5.

iice woy

Kotaro lives alone is a tears jerker 😭.

grasshorse

praying so hard for yuri on ice... yoi fans rise lets make it happen 😭

Green Oak

I wanna recommend a show just for you two to maybe try on your own time. It's called Hajime no Ippo. It's a boxing anime that follows a teenager to eventually a young man's boxing career. It has a lot of comedy and a lot of wisdom regarding the sport and athleticism in general. It is a little older, with the anime starting in 2000, but it aged well and it looks crisper as time goes on. I boxed but never played VB. Even so I loved Haikyuu and really liked seeing VB players perspectives on the show. It was so interesting to see how the same emotions that all athletes share are interpreted so differently and manifest so uniquely within each sport. Especially solo sports to team sports. If you guys do check it out, I hope you have the same kind of experience :)

Ashley hui

Gakuen Babysitter is sooo cute

Shalini Paul

Right? I’m glad someone watched it .. usually it’s crickets when I talk about the show on Discord 🦗😅

Diana

Great selection, my favorite is Kotaro lives alone!!

Shaily

Skip and loafer is one of the best anime/mangas I have consumed in the category. Definitely worth a watch.

Paula Solar Ruigomez

I am between Skip and Loafer (one of the most wholesome animangas I’ve ever read/watched and Yuri on Ice, because… they are my children and I must protect them 🥹

Shaily

Everything here is short and sweet, very difficult to chose one.

Lemon

Yuri!!! Fight on!!!

Mans Faye

Barakamon is just so beautiful and endearing, they would 100% enjoy it more than Yuri, but Yuri's so popular amongst Haikyuu fans that I'm afraid It'll sweep this

Everett

I haven’t seen any of the ones listed here (aside from bocchi) so whatever you pick! Any new series would be new for me too! If I could recommend some of my fav short 1 season shows would be: 1️⃣Odd Taxi 2️⃣ * the most similar to spy family vibe - “The Great Pretender” 3️⃣Erased 4️⃣Angel Beats But I am looking forward to another new series to watch, you guys are spoiling us with new reactions! 😁

britt m

I would love a Yuri on Ice rewatch with yall!!! 💙

VinterSvart

yuri on iceeeeee i miss it T-T

Lixien

I don't know if you are aware but just in case, Sarah already reacted to Run with the wind on YT. If you are talking about a rewatch don't mind me.

riddle

I hope one day you guys decide to watch Sk8 the Infinity 🙏 It was my comfort anime before Haikyuu (which is now my comfort anime). It's only 12 episodes long and it's so touching and sweet. I relate so much to the main character Reki, he's my favorite anime character ❤️ other short series recs: • erased • your lie in april • my love story • orange • dororo

piaa

YURI ON ICE PLS PLS PLS

AnnaSama

All great options!!

Dor Green (KimiNewt)

Love Barakamon but I don't know if there's much to react to. Not a lot of twists and turns. Gotta recommend Ping Pong for the next round - very short and absolutely fantastic

chaosdreamer

Wholeheartedly concur. Buddy Daddies was one of the best random finds for me last year!

Havoc Strife

Looking at the list I hope yuri on ice wins. But I hope you include one punch man to the next round.

Rose

would recommend checking school babysitters out! very fluffy and humorous, plus the kids are so cute

Rose

omg i just recommended this myself too 😂😂

Shalini Paul

The show is too cute to not watch 🥰🥰

Cristina

I love Gakuen Babysitters!!! Such a good series recommendation

Ashley hui

Discord have a recommendation sheet, you can add these recommendations in it 🥰

Ashley hui

I really want a season 2 😫

lex

If we’re talking about slice of life / daily life I think Love is War, Dangers in my Heart, Apothecary Diaries should be added next poll.

Shalini Paul

I never understood why they didn’t go for a second season.. I liked the storyline too .. my dear Kotaro chan 🥲

farz

YURI ON ICE AND THEN SKIP AND LOAFER

Salty Or Obsessed

The day that Kotoro has no hard core fans is the day that I die.

Mysbis

Skip and Loafer ❤️❤️ This is the series that converted my friend who only enjoys dark/heavy/serious shows to the light 😂. It was so funny, you should’ve seen it. We were making fun of him saying he was being exorcised/taking holy damage 😂. Really hope this wins a poll someday.

riddle

thanks! i was aware of the sheet, i just added orange and my love story to it right now since the others were already on there. but just wanted to share my favorites 🙂

G. A

yurii

K

OMG Barakamon 🥹 It’s not winning by the looks of it but god I love that show!

bungi

OMG YURI PLEASEEEE i always wanted to see yuri but i never did cuz i didn't want to watch it alone, I WANT TO WATCH IT WITH YOU GUYSSS

Cerina C

The people are truly scrapping over this poll, it’s so close oh man! Come on Yuri ✨

magena

I highly recommend 'Baccano!' even though it isn't in the list, as it is a truly high-quality anime. It is adapted from a light novel, which makes it different from many other anime that are based on manga. One of the most interesting aspects is that the story is set during the Prohibition era in the United States, while the characters are designed with traits commonly seen in Japanese works, they are placed within an American historical context, creating a unique and bold narrative. The author, Ryohgo Narita, excels in crafting complex, multi-threaded storylines that eventually converge, which requires the viewer to engage deeply and think critically, especially in the early episodes.

Terry Kusunoki-Martin

These are all definitely a BIG genre change from previous shows you and Adam have watched together. I'm curious to see if you two will enjoy more cutesy slice of life anime. Of these choices, I would say that Barakamon is the most substantive. Definitely cried a lot of tears watching that show. Probably won't win since it's a little older, but it's an all-timer.

Kiryu Lee

I really recommend Natsume's Book of Friends

Luna

It’s my all time favorite ✨

Luna

This is such a hard decision for me!!!!

TrianaNero

seconding this, maybe once some time has passed after spy family, but in some ways i actually enjoyed buddy daddies more

MV# Katorin

Barakamon has the same energy as Spy x Family, I love it! I DNF Yuri on Ice because I felt like there's going to be boy on boy romance, ewww.. not for me. (Tbh though, I am not really sure but I didn't even bother to check bec I didn't like thinking about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ correct me if I'm wrong and I will watch it again and finish it. It was a good start tbh.

MV# Katorin

Skip and Loafer is also GOOD!! It's so cute!

MV# Katorin

One of my favorite, next to Mushishi 😉

Cristina

I didn't think anyone had added it to the google doc of recommendations, and sure enough they hadn't, so I went ahead and added it! I hope it gets their attention eventually.

子 柚

Do you know CLAMP? I highly recommend their works, especially the xxxHolic anime series. Although they are quite old, they are truly masterpieces!

Kurokawaii

Omg Kotaro lives alone made a list. I'm kinda surprise, I don't know content creator or just people that watched it. It's so sad 😭

Vu D

Patiently waiting for Edgerunner to be nominated.
