Hi everyone!I wanted to start this week by saying THANK YOU! Watching Frieren together has been such an amazing experience and seeing how much love it's received on both Patreon and YouTube has been really exciting the past couple weeks! It's reminding me of our journey way back in Lord of the Rings and that feeling Sam talks about. How even if the stories aren't real, they still mean something because "Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why." 🤍Because of that, I'm really leaning more into shows and anime right now! But don't worry, movies aren't going anywhere! My goal is to keep at least one or two movies a week so no one feels like they're missing out on those cozy movie nights we love. But the schedule will look more full of ongoing stories and shows which I'm really excited for!So let's get into this week's schedule! 👀✨🦑 Squid Game | Season 2 x Episodes 5-7We're already at the end of this season, which feels wiiiild. I've really enjoyed Season 2! I'm so curious to see how Seong Gi-hun navigates this game. How he tries to convince others that the games aren't worth their lives. But especially how things will play out now that the host is also playing the game. I have a feeling this season will be SUPER intense & I can't wait!🌿 Frieren: Beyond Journey's End | Season 1 x Episodes 8-11I'm loving the deeper insight into Frieren and Fern! Stark's intro has brought some really fun, slightly awkward humor to the group that I didn't know we even needed. This show has quickly become something very special to me. And yes, it's 100% the reason I've gone full anime gremlin and decided to start ANOTHER series already lol🗡️ Demon Slayer | Season 1 x Episodes 1-4You can't say you didn't see this coming with how much I've loved the anime movies and now Frieren!! I have never been recommended a show more aggressively (but lovingly) than this one. I'm so excited to finally see what this world is all about and why it's one of the more popular anime shows out there!🕶️ Daredevil | Season 1 Episode 1We're officially starting! I'm easing into this one, but I know many of you have been very patiently waiting for me to begin this journey so I don't want to push it off any longer! Once Squid Game Season 3 wraps up in a couple weeks, I'll add more episodes per week since these are long. But for now, I am very ready to see why so many of you are obsessed with this character!🍿 A Knight's TaleMy Valentine's Day pick! It's been on my list since we finished the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. I'm so excited to see Heath Ledger and in a more normal role after the Joker lol. This will be my second Ledger film ever, so I'm really curious to see his vibe!Thank you all so much for your continued love, support, and for spending time with me watching stories! It means more than you know. It's also been awesome seeing patreons here that have also dipped their toe into anime for the first time with me and are absolutely loving it so far! I hope February has been warm(er) and kind to you. See you all soon!

O your going to love demon slayer. Also probably the best animation studio.

TheTriibalChief

Cannot begin to explain how hype I am for Daredevil, genuinely my favorite TV show ever

La Baanga

I predict that by the end of A Knight's Tale you will have 1-2 more actors on your favorites list.

HadSkills

Frieren is such an amazing watch, it may spoil your expectations on other anime, not hating on anything but Frieren is just that special. Can’t wait for the next upload!

Giancarlo Gasparin

Not a huge anime fan personally, but I’m happy it’s helping the channel grow. I did really enjoy Arcane though. I’m sure it would also perform well on YT if you’re looking for another animated show.

Onno Smits

Wow, when you announced you'd be switching over more to TV shows I didn't expect the sheer volume of content you'd be pumping out each week. Insane! So far not really anything I'm super excited to watch, but sounds like you're enjoying it at any rate. And at the speed that you're going through these shows I'm sure something I am interested in will start soon! Please don't overdo it and burn out.

rian

DAREDEVIL!!! omg so cool show 👍

rubberkidney

omgitshappening. now is my time. it is now. i saw your list and just blind eyed demon slayer for a sec then i did like a double take. i am hyped. be ready for a huge influx of viewers for ds.

Bernie Zwicky

I’ve never seen A Knight’s Tale, so I’m really looking forward to that one. I still haven’t dived into the second season of Squid Games…still mustering up the courage to watch that one…😂, but I’m sure I’ll get there!!❤️

Robert da Spruce

Wow! Stacked week! I just watched your Frieran reaction last night. The show is getting so good! Can’t wait for the next batch of episodes! Also really looking forward to a Knights Tale! Have a great week Kali! Hope you’re staying warm!

Dan C

Well this is quite the week. I'm of course looking forward to frieran the most but knights tale is yet another reminder of how good heath ledger was.

Chris

Just a note to say that my personal hope is that, if you're going to be picking up more shows, as things develop you don't tilt all the way toward marvel and anime (I recognize you're also doing Squid Game!), but save space for some of the super ambitious and successful tv we've seen over the last few decades. Classic HBO stuff like The Wire or Deadwood; some of FX's modern classics like Shogun, The Americans, The Bear; comedy classic like Arrested Development... lotta stuff out there!

Tom

Demon Slayer! Yes!!

kaliwali

I keep hearing that which is also why I was curious and wanted to pick up another anime show just to see LOL

kaliwali

I'd love to check out Arcane sometime! After Squid Game ends I do plan on adding a more grounded show in the mix as well :)

kaliwali

Yess! I know it looks like a lot, but Frieren and Demon Slayer episodes are only 20 mins each so it's the same as doing 1 movie! Sorry you're not loving the mix of shows right now.. After Squid Game I do plan on bringing a more grounded show to the channel so hopefully you'll be excited for that! And I do plan on keeping my 1-2 movies a week going as well :)

Bill Bowron

Probably in the minority here, but I’m a little sad that you’re choosing to watch more shows than movies right now. Since you switched to the unedited reactions, movie time with you has been so much fun! I’m just not into the shows as much, but that’s just me. No worries. Hope you have a great week!

kaliwali

I don't blame you on the wait for Squid Game LOL. This season actually has a bit more humor in it which is kinda a nice relief! But still same intense vibes for sure 🤣

kaliwali

I'm glad you're loving Frieren as much as I have been!! I've also been really excited to sit and watch more each week. The wait feels like forever hahaha

kaliwali

Yes! I can't wait to see Heath Ledger in another role besides the Joker which he was absolutely insane in

kaliwali

That's actually my plan! Daredevil is taking up my usual "superhero" slot of the week lol. Squid Game will be replaced with a more grounded show like the ones you mentioned! And I do plan on doing 2 animes at a time for now bc I've been really loving it 🤍

Simon

Glad you're enjoying the shows but it's a shame we're down to only one movie a week now. I have been a patron since you started but doubt I'll renew as the shows (anime especially) are really not my thing unfortunately.

kaliwali

Sorry the shows aren't your vibe! 🤍

Terry In the UK

That is a phenomenal lineup up for the week Kali... As a movie lover, I love the cozy movie nights and "A Knights Tale" is a fantastic choice, and was my first introduction to Heath Ledger ( who is and will always be deeply missed ). This is such a good film that I've never got tired of re-watching and I know you're gonna love it Daredevil, I haven't seen before and my only familiarity with the character is from the Ben Affleck movie and the brief cameo in Spiderman : No Way Home...so I'm super excited for that. Squid Game... I'm loving it and we're fast approaching season 3 which is the only season I hadn't seen before, so will be as new for me as it will be for you and I can't wait. Frieren..... WOW !!!! What more can I say about this show that I haven't said already. I am proud and privileged to be one of the people in your Patreon community you mentioned in your write up that has joined you by dipping my toe into the magical world of Animé and absolutely loving it .... and this show is so special, I can't believe I hadn't "dipped my toe" sooner. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to a genre I had largely ignored ( other than a couple of Studio Ghibli films ). Frieren is a special show, and you are the very reason I've had the pleasure to experience it...thank you. And finally "Demon Slayer", I don't know anything about the show other than the synopsis I've just read on IMDb, but I'm already excited...... For everyone that recommended it , I trust you all implicitly, past suggestions for you Kali have been sublime, so I know this will be awesome as well. Plus, it will give me another magical world to experience that I never have before and after my recent new found love of Animé, I thank you all for encouraging Kali to start this new journey. Kali, I'm happy to say that I also am becoming an animé gremlin. Thank you for allowing me to be a tiny, tiny part of your Patreon community, you will always have my love and support both here and on YouTube and I will continue to enjoy every second spending time with you watching stories. x

kaliwali

💔 I'm trying to keep a healthy mix of movies still, but I understand!

Greg

Now this what I've been waiting for 🔥

Nomyrose

Looking forward to you starting the X-Men series soon, I LOVE all comic books/movies/characters but X-Men has always been the most interesting and dynamic to me. They will always be my favorite comic book series as a whole BUT my favorite superhero is actually a DC character, Superman.

Bill Bowron

It’s all good, Kali. I’m just an old movie buff who loves watching your reactions to the classics I grew up with. 😊

Phil Stubblefield

I'm another that isn't particularly fond of anime. However, I'm *extremely* fond of you as a reactor, so I'm not going anywhere! 😊 I can use the extra time to clean up some of my backlog... At the same time, I am looking forward to Daredevil. As others have said, I know of the character but have seen only the brief cameos, so this will be a great opportunity to finally enjoy the show.

FigLeaf Bicarbonate

Not an anime guy but I CAN'T WAIT for Daredevil. It's gonna be great watching you react to it.

Greg

Sry boss you feel that way I feel the same way about comedy stuff anime is fire what kinda stuff do you like? Maybe I'll be able to change your mind?

Matt Rowland

Kali, I only want you to watch what I want! Lol 🤣 😆 😂 All joking aside, hope you have a fantastic week and am really happy for your success!

Farbod

*crossing fingers for The Batman* ... nooooo ... But A Knight's Tale is a nice consolation prize.

Fred Aczon

Great list! A Knight's Tale is another classic. I'm curious to see what you think of Demon Slayer, as this is your first shonen anime I believe. The animation and the first Opening Theme song are bangers. And finally Daredevil!! And obsessed is correct lol, we hope you enjoy the ride and see why Matty is everybody's favorite B list hero.

kaliwali

Let's goooo! I'm so glad you're excited for pretty much everything on this list even if it's also your first time experiencing most of it with me! ✨ I hope we end up liking Demon Slayer as much as Frieren!! And yesss, that was my thought about the cozy movie nights too. Even though we're moving through way more shows.. I'll still have at least 1 or 2 movies a week to settle into at the end of a long week 🤍🍿 Thank you so much for the love & support, always! Your comments always give me that extra boost I need to keep the nargles away 🤣

kaliwali

Thank you, Phil! I'm hoping by keeping 1 to 2 movies a week on the schedule, it'll still feel like home here for the OG crowd that is used to 2 or sometimes 3 movies a week 🤍 Plus after Squid Game I'm planning to add a more grounded show that I'll let you all vote on so hopefully there will be something there for everyone!

kaliwali

😅 I def got a tummy ache reading some of these. But I understand!

Jose Morales

Daredevil is great. Been a minute since I watched the original Netflix version, so this will be a great reason to watch again.

kaliwali

So I'm pretty sure Frieren is also a shonen anime/manga! Or at least that's what YouTube has said. But that has me even more excited for Demon Slayer now! And def looking forward to Daredevil too!!

Malcolm Ferguson

I love a Knight's Tale! Can't wait to see you react to that! And Daredevil too, of course!

George Roybal

Well, another one of my favorite reactors is going with shows over movies. 😒

Robert da Spruce

Fr 😭 I seriously considered just binging some more episodes. But I have been enjoying discovering the show along with you. So I’ll wait Gonna be a long week though!

Wutai

Love you reactions! Love even more that you including more anime into your line up!!

Cameron

Daredevil? YESSSS

Fred Aczon

Oh wow, you are absolutely right, I didn't realize Frieren is technically shonen. I would have never have guessed that due to the show's execution.

Daniel Morgan

DAREDEVIL!!!!! I just started watching it too. 😆😆

Terry In the UK

I'm honestly loving the addition of more TV shows, they give more opportunity for the story and characters to breathe and grow, which can on occasion seem rushed in some movies....my only criticism with TV is that horrible feeling you get at the end of an episode when the credits start rolling and you're desperate to find out what happens next, but on the plus side, there's the anticipation and excitement of looking forward to "next week". Of course, I'm always going to love the movie nights as well and excited for whatever films you have planned for the year ( unless it's Arachnophobia, which I'd only be able to watch with my eyes closed as I'm a big, massive baby when it comes to spiders, so I'm actually hoping that never makes it to the channel 😂 ). Otherwise Kali, do what's best for you and the channel, we'll all always be here for it all...as far as I think, movies are great, TV is great... I'm very easy to please ( unless it's spiders 🤣 ). Ps, I'm so happy my comments have helped keep the nargles at bay 😀

Dominik

Hey a question, is the Frieren release any day specific? Or will it be always Sunday like the last one? Thanks for the content!

ReissPsY

Looking forward to seeing you watch squid games season 3. I believe once you’re ready you should definitely jump into Alice in Borderlands which is kinder on the similar scale as squid games. Maybe for future watching?

McShades

I'm not a huge Anime fan, but I know Anime is very popular and will probably help your view numbers. So I think it's a good choice... I assume this is the Netflix Daredevil back when they got the rights to make some Marvel TV shows several years back. From what I remember it was a good show but kind of a slow burn, not a lot of humor, more of a drama if I remember right... A Knight's Tale is a fun movie... We Will We Will Rock You !!! lol I do think some people are overreacting about you doing 1 movie a week... A lot of reactors only do 1 movie a week along with a TV Show.... I think you spoiled people doing 3 movies a week lol... Reminds me of the old saying, You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

kaliwali

Hey! The patreon schedule is usually pretty fluid! I put them out during random times/days during the week so it could be sooner or the same time! It usually depends on my editor and when they need certain things by honestly 🤣 Sorry there's no real "schedule" here, but I do that mainly to keep myself less stressed so I don't feel locked into recording on specific days in case I'm not feeling it or I get too busy!

kaliwali

I'm still doing 1 to 2 movies a week here! Which isn't too far off the 2 to 3 I was doing before I started more shows

James Park

Another awesome line-up you'll get 100k subs soon, a knights tale is great so glad you re watching it

rubberkidney

give demon slayer a chance bro, its one of the best 'tv/film' stories of our time. some absolutely beautiful art as well.

rubberkidney

just a quick heads up with copyright and demon slayer, sometimes ive seen it hit people so be careful.

Kenji Kita

Been loving watching Frieren for the first time with you! My nephews consume a ton of anime and tell me to watch them all the time but I have a hard time keeping up. But watching along with you has been a great way to keep me locked in and on these shows and I’ll be looking forward to watching Demon Slayer for the first time along with you as well!

kaliwali

Ahh that's awesome! I'm glad you're loving anime for the first time with me so far! ✨

kaliwali

eeeep. I've seen a lot of people mention this about anime in general. but thank you for the heads up! my reaction of Silent Voice on YouTube got copyright striked and taken down. I'm currently in dispute and they took away my strike so far, but I'm waiting to hear back about them putting the video back up. fingers crossed!

kaliwali

Thank you for understanding & realizing I'm still pumping out a ton of content but now mixed across many genres! Yeah I think 3 movies and sometimes even 4 a week was pretty insane, but I was trying my best to grow at that time! I see many other reactors doing 1 or 2 a week when they do shows. And for awhile there when I was doing BSG and Marvel shows I was still doing 2 movies a week so it's still possible. Next week I'm actually scheduling in 2 movies so... I think it is a bit that people are just panicking because I'm falling in love with something new and niche. But there will still be plenty of content here for everyone in my opinion and I'm working overtime to try and keep it that way! 🤍

kaliwali

I keep hearing that Alice in Borderlands has a similar vibe!

chris berestoff

I’m so excited for you to see A Knights Tale. My comfort movie and favorite Heath Leadger film.

George Roybal

It was fun while it lasted. Enjoy your shows.

2026-09-07 13:00 wow what a good way to start anime with frieren and demon slayer... but of course, my dream is for her to watch Attack on Titan in the future ... i just can't wait
2026-02-03 03:02

Sky Quest Music Official

I have heard SOOO many good things about Demon Slayer! Another one of those Animes I've heard is a "Must Watch" so I'm stoked to watch!!! And I've only ever seen our boy Heath Ledger as The Joker so I'm SUPER curious and excited to see him in A Knights Tale! Stacked week this baby! Lets go!!!!!

McShades

I was looking at some reactors that only do Anime and they usually have more subscribers then those that only do movies, so I think your smart adding Anime to the mix... Even if you lose some subscribers who only want you to do movies, you'll probably easily replace them plus some with Anime fans IMO, And yeah, you do put out a lot of content compared to other reactors, just don't burn yourself out...

McShades

Rubberkidney: I've decided to give it a try when Kali releases her reactions of it..

Joe Mallard

Daredevil and A Knights Tale! Not an anime fans, except for Star Wars or comic stuff . Don't like the cutback on movies, luckily I haven't watched your Marvel journey yet.

Krazle

I'm really not the biggest fan of demon slayer as it compares to shows like Frieren / Attack on Titan / Steins;Gate ect... It has some amazing art and animation for sure, but in my personal opinion the story, characters, and music don't hold a candle to Frieren... Of course you might love it, as so many others do! art is art, it's just not for me..

2026-09-07 13:00 Dang man… this is an embarrassment of riches for me. So much good stuff. Just hoping we don’t suffer from any burn out, please feel free to pace yourself, we’ll still be patient and eager to watch whatever you put out!

Amko Basic

Daredevil and more squid game in The same week woohoo 🥳

Armchair Rizzard

I am so excited for Daredevil in particular. That show is so good!

kaliwali

I know it looks like a lot but the anime shows are super short! But thank you for the reminder to take my time! 🤍✨ Happy you're loving the new content!

kaliwali

It's not too much of a cutback from when I was doing Andor and BSG at the same time with 1 movie a week! Still planning on doing 1 or 2 movies a week still 🤍

kaliwali

Let's goooo! I'm happy you'll be watching that for the first time with me! Can't wait to see what we think 👀

kaliwali

I keep hearing Attack on Titan mentioned so I'll have to check it out eventually!!

David L

I can't wait for Daredevil! More Squid Game season 2. I'm going to watch that anime you've been watching. I've never seen it beforeI just want to wait until at least season 1 is done then binge it! Plus Demon Slayer is really great! I hope you'll watch Top Gun MAVERICK soon. It's so good! Thanks for all the great reactions, Kali! You've got the best Patreon I've subbed too by far! Great work! 🙂👍💯🔥

Stu Reacts

Kali I'm just curious cause I know you started the MCU after you realised there's a lot of references in Deadpool, the movies that you need context of more than the MCU is the X-Men and Wolverine movies, do you have plans to go through them at some point?

kaliwali

Yes, I'm actually planning to watch the X-Men films as I get through Daredevil since I know they're canon now to the MCU

DorkRunner

Ooooooh, I'm so excited for Demon Slayer! It's the first show that has competed with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for my favorite anime show of all time! I actually just got done rewatching through it with my dad (he doesn't usually watch or enjoy anime either, but he enjoyed Demon Slayer!), and I'm definitely down for another ride through ^_^. Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, though, I cannot recommend that anime highly enough. It's a very revered show in all of anime, and even though it's not spoken about as much it still remains lowkey many people's favorite show or at least one that most agree is among the best. And, if you ever want to watch a romantic-comedy, slice-of-life/drama show, I would highly recommend the "Rascal Does not Dream" series! Just trust me, I think you'd love it.

kaliwali

Ooo ty for the recommendations! You're definitely not the first to mention Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood! And yessss 🔥 I'm in the middle of getting Demon Slayer posted for you guys in the next 30 mins and I can't wait to share it!
