Okay so we are hearing that episode 5 of LoM is still suffering from the same pacing issues. Wanted to give it another week or two but at this point it seems best to move on to another show. The story genuinely seems great and the animation is beautiful but if we cant follow along it doesnt work for good, entertaining reactions. With that being said, we are considering swapping it out with Pantheon which would begin this week. Let us know below!

Unfortunate. Really wanted to see them react to lord of mysteries

average enjoyer

Let’s see the pantheon reaction! LOTM is pretty good, just doesn’t seem the right pace for a reaction. Maybe it’ll be easier to pick back up once it’s completed and easier to watch more than one episode a week.

Tom Elias

This Pantheon sweep is gonna be so serious 😂

Are yall still doing kaiju?

Enjoying loM but I do understand them wanting to swap it 🤝🏾

swap for sure. the pacing of lord of the mysteries is so poor. better off reading the source material, which is great.

It is TS had me feeling all types of ways 😭

Lezu

Never thought this day would come 🥹

Gabriel Sanchez

Bro drop that shit LMAO it def doesn't work as an animation. They shoulda made a webtoon first to see how ppl react bc light novel to anime was a crazy jump for this series

Lash

Just fell down to me knees at the airport

Derek

Been waiting too damn long for pantheon😤🙌🏾

Ghost

Just give me pantheon. I was gonna watch that myself too but go ahead and react big dawg

Alex

If we’re doing adult animated sci-fis, can we also throw Fired on Mars and Scavengers Reign into the running for future slots? :D

Url Robbo

LoTM fans deserve this drop!

BeeMe

Rip

Hieng

Ngl had to stop mid way that 5th ep, it actually had my head hurting so I don't mind Pantheon. And if LoM pacing changes to a more consumer friendly product then you can always come back to it I suppose.

Devin reid

lol to the LOTM fans

Michael Kaiser

Roshi wadifok why are you doing this to me I love lord of the mystery but I’ve been waiting on pantheon for months wadifok is this polll wadifok man wadifok

Djc394

Wasn't pantheon cancelled? I haven't watched it at all so ion know if they are the same show

TChang23

Ngl I would’ve been extra hype if it was a poll for city

MJSkies22

I really want them to react to lord of mysteries

Joni A

Oh man, lotm is actually peak. Not hard to follow especially with all the comments explaining a lot of what is going on but we'll see, im just glad for ya'll reactions.

James Jackson

It's not a good reaction show, really good when you sit down and take your time watching it

Novis

Yuup

Michael Kaiser

Regardless what wins the poll I will b here 😭💔

Alex

I agree...I stopped at episode 2..

Ellijah Brown

That’s how I was with Omniscient Reader. I’m genuinely sorry for the LotM fans cuz a rushed story sucks where there’s a LOT of info to be dumped

JustThatOtherDude

Pantheon was cancelled but they pretty much wrapped it up as best they could in 2 seasons

SirCapAlot

PANTHEON gonna be LIT👏🏾

I haven't had any major issues with LotM pacing since episode 1. I don't get what people are talking about tbh.

naomi

thank you roshi the wait for pantheon is finally over

Day

?

jose

Hi unc

Lurkingposter

Dude, if you need other people's comments to follow a show, the show is not peak. Next time they shouldn't adapt 30 chapter per episode.

Antonio

I tried I may pick it back up when more episodes are out

Edd R

After all the tbate jokes lotm fans made im glad they also got screwed

Michael Kaiser

At least I can say yaaayyyy pantheon thank you love y’all for everything you guys do for us

Orjanu Mircea

I don't see anything wrong with Lord of Mysteries.

Lurkingposter

It's already a webtoon. the problem is they adapting too many chapters each episode.

MJSkies22

Ik everyone is different but I don’t feel like the pacing is bad at all I can pretty much understand what’s going on but also it is a mystery so your not gonna know everything off rip

J Man

Yeet!

Tsuki

Please just make LOTM a patreon exclusive if possible

WackoB

I tried watching pantheon on my own a bit ago and it never really stuck so maybe it’ll be more enjoyable with you guys. BUT PLEASE CONSIDER PICKING YAIBA BACK UP PLEASE I BEG

Albert Boček

I honestly don't really understand how LOTM is a hard story to follow. For me, the "mystery" fits a lot, I don't know how it's in the written form, but it seems intentional in the anime.

Joni A

To be fair, It helped with the comments explaining a bit and watching the mystery classes but it really isn't that crazy to follow along.

Lash

Holy sweep of doom. I’m cooked

Asura༄

Pantheon HAHA NEVER HEARD OF IT😭👎🏼 Must be easier to comprehend for the grown a$ adults pampering in the comments 😹

Just Gene

I think LoM has been doing fine for pacing since episode 1. However I do think understanding it well requires locking into the episode, which with a trio react where we like seeing you guys discuss things with each other during the episode, it means you miss things or don't properly digest them. So I understand the change. That said, I'm not mad that Pantheon is the other option, love that show and can't wait to see y'all react to it.

Joni A

I didn't need it, it just helped and confirmed things I already was thinking. Im saying the people that are a bit slow or confused could benefit from it.

Bobby Coles

Tougen Anki and Shield Hero

Gabriel Sanchez

A proper one bro. They have one that's discontinued and another "remake" that has like a dozen chapters. They're both not as good as they coulda been tbh

Mari

What is Pantheon, a anime ?

TheMonarch

LOTM is just boring asf and people here are acting like it's the second coming of jesus xD

Url Robbo

bro in patreon comments crying about a anime getting dropped weenie hut jr ahh boy🫵🏽😭😭😭

WillGlacier

I honestly don't fuck with either shows so I'm just voting for whatever pisses off the most people

Abraham Perez

same, even as someone who hasn't read the novel, i don't feel like I'm really missing anything.

Kencool

Any chance y'all will ever pick it back up?

Tuny kun

Me too. Saw them crucifying Roshi and Gang in the comments of the show so I'm like fuck it lmao.

Ron H

the first thing LoM fans do is insult someone’s intelligence, as if it’s the audience fault the pacing is ass

sol jam

Yeeeeeeees fuck this show give us pantheon you guys are NOT ready for how good it will be

WackoB

Not enough people on here watched it. Trio seemed to love the showtho

Cheesecake

I have 0 care over what wins so I clicked to see who’s winning and holy shit is this a sweep lotm fans im sorry for your loss

Michael Kaiser

I feel like lord of mystery’s is one of those shows where the last couple episodes of the szn will make everything come full circle nd end up making sense sad to see it go but hope you guys pick it back up one day I’m here for pantheon doe just gon watch lotm by my self 😪

Delinda Arts

PANTHEON LETS GOOOOOO🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾

Asura༄

Dis what I mean by comprehending you couldn’t understand shi with that brain of yours read it again🗣️

L S

pantheon is the way to go, soooo underrated

Sonic

Show is fire

Sonic

Clevatess

SoySauce

I think you should drop LOTM for now. But I guaratee you, the first volume/season is the worst, its all a setup. 2nd volume/season onwards, the story will flow much better and by then people will understand why we novel readers hype it so much. When you guys hear about the hype of season 2, I hope you guys can pick up LOTM again. Or even watch ur own time. It's too good of a story to drop honestly.

Nae

I hope LoM is paying its fans to go this hard insulting people who dont like it.

Url Robbo

unfortunately not enough viewership to keep putting it out on top of their stacked schedule they loved the show though…

TT

dude's a certified menace.

L S

wym "the best they could" to me pantheon is a finished product from start to finish, yeah it has some weaknesses but overall the writing is top notch

Frazão

Just leaving here that Moonrise is also a pretty cool anime that came out not to long ago on Netflix from Wit

SleepDeprived

Its fine LOTM will have mad seasons so as long as it actually picks up they will probably get around to it, plus pantheons a good show so, im chill with it.

Url Robbo

roshi tweeted he and sheera watched paradise on their on s2 might do duo’s depending in sched

chefboyarkey

Whoa lol I thought y’all were just a lil confused (like me, like a lot of people it’s moving pretty fast) but still were enjoying it… feel like more you watch the more info you’ll get…

Her

Voting for Pantheon only because the LOTM fans are insufferable, measuring people's intelligence based on the capability to follow a show that is meant to be entertaining, not a 5yrs research. i haven't watched either show anyways (lol)

Noir

The way mfs was crucifying yall im glad that shit getting dropped 🤣

Rai

They've watched it off cam

YoSung

Facts been reading the WEBTOON cause I can’t wait for a week 😭😭

Rebecca Foster

Not sure who told y'all that. But to me this pacing was perfect that episode. I understand now liking to be confused, but it's necessary for this show😭

CurriedCocoa

Pantheon is a complete show, if that helps. Truly enjoyable.

SleepDeprived

Honestly im not too disappointed cause their problems are valid, the ending of the first volume really doesn't even work if you cut out the slice of life content, idk what tencents idea was for the rush.

Helpy

Underrated

Helpy

I fear you're speaking facts 😭

Reggie bringit

No, it was only ever supposed to have two seasons, but was cancelled before season two aired iirc and was not aired until much later because of it. It was already made and done but was “cancelled” for bs money reasons

Yager

these kinds of comments are exactly why a lot of us are voting out lotm. what a loser fanbase.

Djc394

Ahh ok then itd be an alright watch i js thought if it was cancelled whats the point of watching a unfinished show yk

Hesk

They were worried people would get too bored. Because of the whole reincarnated as a slime thing where people complained about how much was being explained rather than just watching cool fights

LuckyDog

Kenichi the strongest disciple need its chance lol

Delinda Arts

LOM doesn’t give me any character dialogue or character arcs whatsoever. All I know is Klein wants to go home and I know nothing about his personality, desires, quirks. Just a blank slate. I do feel bad for LOM fans because it’s art direction is top notch and the character animation is so beautiful, but the pacing and character development just isn’t there and that is what can truly ruin an adaptation and make for a stunted reaction as well. Also gimme some world building too!

sam

Facts

Helpy

I can tell LOM story is good but the way it's depicted is not intriguing. Back in the day AoT was "confusing" or mysterious too, but it was balanced 50% confusion 50% intrigue or some other interesting plot you can actually follow. LOM is like 90% "Idk what this is but I'll try to remember it for later" and 10% intrigue or stuff that interests the viewer without greater context. TLDR: LOM is good but a chore to watch, needing outside context or info because the anime couldn't format it correctly. I'll try again when it's completed.

Helpy

He said "DROP THAT TRASHH"

MJSkies22

you guys should still watch episode 5 despite someone else telling you that its still fast pace make a decision after you watch if you feel like its still confusing for you then change it but also keep in mind its a mystery so not everything is gonna make sense off rip

Helpy

Precisely...I feel no attachment to anything, it just looks beautiful and clearly has a rich plot but I just don't care about the characters because they gave me no reason to

Tre

It's on Netflix check it out for yourself real quick before they react to it

Tellyg47

Nobody should or can force yall to watch a show you aren’t enjoying. Yes the novel is one of the best I’ve read, but even I had trouble following the anime. Would I drop it? No, I enjoy it. Should you drop it? Yes, if you aren’t enjoying it forcing yourself to watch it only going make you resent the show more!

Helpy

What happened?

Tbdovan

Never heard of LoTM until literally a few weeks ago 😂. And pretty animation can't carry a terribly paced story. All because they were afraid of losing the audience if they didn't rush the plot

SleepDeprived

Shit ik adapting a novel needs some changes unlike manga, but the anime got rid of the SOL so its just info after info, no breather.

Dyastro123

I voted pantheon, but honestly some people make those who dont understand the show (lord of mysteries) seem like they are stupid idiots with a low IQ (or some other bullshit) that i wouldn't mind it if u guys continue watching it JUST so you can stick it to the glazers that you watched the whole thing and can have the right to state ur opinion on it afterwards. If it gets good, it gets good. If not, then oh well. Atleast the discussion would conclude!

Tre

Next up common side effects and scavengers reign, and on one glorious day they'll do dark matter

VampCinder

Aw man, I was actually enjoying the reactions to it. It's a shame, but if people aren't feeling it then I guess that's that.

Gate

watch Danmachi instead or pick back up Harley Quinn

Tbdovan

The way LoTM fanbase can easily just turn people away from giving the show a chance because they feel "high and mighty" because they read it first then complaining when reactors are saying it's just too much info all at once with poor pacing. I say drop it and never return. This the time where amazing animation just can't be the best selling point to a pacing nightmare as a introduction.

SleepDeprived

Gotta give it up bro, some dude on Twitter crashed out and insulted them about this show so I think they gonna let the rest of the season come out before getting back to it

Dyastro123

Its like rick and morty fans all over again!

Mohrningstar

Used to pray for times like this, nothing against LoTM, but Pantheon is one of my top 5 shows. Hype to watch with y'all

Tbdovan

Doubt it'll have a lot of seasons if they had to rush the beginning of it 🤷🏿‍♂️

Nicchee

I fw LOM but ive been waiting a year or two for a pantheon reaction so LOM stood no chance for me in the polls

Shawn simpson

pantheon or the return of yaiba would be great.

Jam

LOTM is genuinely one of the best things I've ever read, the anime... is just too fast. I think there'll be like 15 episodes in total, when vol 1 on its own could probably be like 25-30 episodes. I'm hoping they add some more of the missed character interactions, dialogue, and depth in the later episodes, because people complaining about the lack of character dialogue and depth don't understand how peak all of that was in the web novel, and I'm afraid some of the bits at the end of vol 1 will lose impact due to the pacing.

JsemicolonA

Ngl the way some LoTM fans were just straight up insulting you guys on Twitter because y'all felt confused about it and were having trouble following along was just straight up dumb it should never be that serious

SirCapAlot

Yh sure kid ☠️😂

Mo3

Get this fake ahh sandman anime outta here it was meant for the manga readers only

PennyWhysTV

damn another dropped series

Zack

blast from the past so good

TChang23

DUDE YES that was my first anime back in the day and one of the few where I think the dub is better than the sub

Mari

About to now thanks

TChang23

Definitely not something worth getting flamed over lmao people are too serious

A Jiang

rest in peace LoTM, you will be missed o7

TChang23

Hopefully at some point, any other season it’d be anime of the season imo

SleepDeprived

not even that, some readers (can't really call them fans), were all up on his twitter insulting him for not understanding shit. originally he was gonna wait till ep 6, but they made him push up this poll. I hope they get back to it someday but twitter always be twittering lol

Jam

this is completely to do with the pacing, the web novel gave you a lot more time to breathe and digest what you just read whilst also keeping you intrigued, whereas the donghua just slaps you in the face with the next thing almost instantly without any time to actually think

Michael Kaiser

Well no lol the light novel has over 1250 chapters your smoking dick if you think it’ll b a 1:1 adaptation the show will probably have like 200 ep so yeah it will have a lot of szn nd szn 2 is already confirmed to have 2 cours assuming 24ep (I could b wrong)

Dyastro123

Probably IF the series become less confusing. The studio keeps saying it will by *insert certain episode* but thats barely happening. Now the fanbase is actually saying "it gets good by season 2, trust" which is just funny to confidently say out loud in this particular situation...... Also most likely ATLEAST WHEN the season is finally over, maybe even when the whole series is over. Lots of people underestimate how watching/reading something little by little weekly can also effect pacing and memory. (Though not really anyones fault, just that people dont have time to rewatch. So binge watching/reading will always be superior! Better to understand that way!)

MJSkies22

welp well hopefully you guys pick it up in the future when's there's more content and you feel like giving it another chance but i will say i love yalls reactions and i feel like every reactions yall are able to really go deep in the understanding of the content you given to watch and that's what i like the most about yall reactions its just sucks to see this show go.

Sonic

Agreed. I like all the shows this season but Clevatess has been my favorite. Such a good show for reactions too.

VampCinder

Ah yeah, that's fair. No need to put up with asshole know-it-alls for the entire season. It's unfortunate, but I get it.

sol jam

Wow I don't think I have seen a poll with this big of a slide since reacher that's insane people really hate lord of mystery and want pantheon 🤣🤣🤣

Jam

definitely the worst vol out of all of them, but still is good . Vol 1 is a slow burn where basically all of the world building and setup is, and it should've been that way in the donghua too. Tencent trying to rush this first season is actually harming it, and the impact that the end of the volume has will most likely be severely reduced due to the pacing issues. Honestly, this season could've had like 25 episodes, and it would've made everything a lot easier to digest.

Helpy

That's what I've been saying Dyastro lol

sol jam

that would be insane

MoeGoesForth

Ppl rlly thought ep 5 was still too fast? IMO it was the slowest episode we’ve gotten yet. Ik it’s not up to me but I would recommend u guys at least watch the fifth one to see if it’s worth staying on schedule. But at the end of the day it’s not up to me. Ima also say that as someone who read the novel, it starts off very confusing but the details will eventually come together and form a story that’ll keep ur eyes glued to the screen. All I can say is wait and see.

Dyastro123

I really dislike lotm anime, but even i would say make this desicion AFTER you watch ep 5. Cause there's still so many claiming it was like....the best or something idk.

Koosha☯️Possible🖤💚

Some idiots on Twitter crashing out and insulting Roshi over his opinions on LOM fast paced issues and such lol

Sleep Deprived Sal

I Just wished the anime continued , because the manga became SOOOO good , every arc after the anime was great, all the Master arcs 🤌🤌

HollyMai9

Agreed. As long as you lock in & pay attention it's really not confusing. If you're having side conversations, and not seeing supplementary text displayed (left/right side of screen) you'll easily get lost. It didn't help that crunchyroll screwed up ep 1 & 2 subtitles so badly. Most people won't go back to see the corrected subtitles. 😮‍💨

Merfhew

It's also an incredibly counterproductive thing for them to do if they wanted Roshi to keep watching. People are only willing to take so much harassment.

RedSunCrusher!!!

You know what's crazy I completely forgot about pantheon I watched the first season when it came out I never knew they had a second season. So when I saw it was on Netflix I read the description and remembered "oh I watched this show before lol" I don't even know how I forgot about it but yeah I'm definitely picking pantheon over LOTM for sure.

Sekraan

Scavengers Reign would be incredible.

Jam

yeah its so dumb Im a huge LOTM fan but the donghua is objectively really hard to follow so I don't blame people for being confused. The only reason I can follow along with it is because I've already read it, and I still aint happy with the pacing.

Tre

Scavengers reign is a top pick cause ik it'll make Lupa visibly uncomfortable and it'll be hilarious fir all of us

Jeremiah Deleg

Only because that dude on Twitter was mad disrespectful imma vote against LoM

RedSunCrusher!!!

You know what would be a great duo reaction show they could do. Jentry Chau vs The Underworld I hope they react to it someday

Oliver

Wait why does people hate on this show. It's a little fast paced, but it's good. Can anyone be specific ep 5 was awesome

October Veil

So HYPED for Pantheon. Top tier storytelling

Oliver

Not on Twitter, but what's that about?

Jeremiah Deleg

Someone on Twitter was being mad disrespectful towards our booty warrior Roshi cuz he was thinking of dropping Lord of Mysteries at the time.

salad

a little fast paced is an understatement

ThirstyBird

Defoes agree for Scavengers Reign! IK it's unlikely but praying the Expanse makes it in some day too. Feel like the crew would especially love Amos and Avasarala (especially Lupa going by his reactions to Mon Mothma's fashion in Andor)

Zonalsteve

Pantheon is top tier. Excellent decision

Gwyn

Pantheon is so God damn motherfuckin good its ridiculous. If I could id slap the vote button twice.

King of New York

I just finished binging Pantheon yesterday and it is AMAZING. I think you guys should stick with LOTM though and wait until it’s done. I’m really enjoying your reactions to the show. I know it’s a lot but from what you guys say during reactions y’all are understanding just as much (if not more) than me, and I feel like the only things left to understand are the actual mysteries. I’d say ignore the twitter mfs. Don’t let them ruin your enjoyment of a cool show (trust me I’ve been there).

King of New York

YES. Jentry Chau was amazing. It’s the perfect show for a duo because it’ll give them a break from all the anime romances too lmao. I’ll start asking them in the comments.

Gwyn

Aaay Roshi... is Reacher finished up this week? What are you thinking for the replacement?

Co

Never watched pantheon but the way y'all are hyping it up gets me excited.

RedSunCrusher!!!

Yeah I that's what I said I hope they can watch more animated shows outside of anime and marvel

S

When even some people who speak Chinese fluently think it’s still confusing, you got a little problem lol

Oliver

I don't know how compared to source material so i don't know what i am missing, but it's understandable once you "translate" the Chinese terms to anime/Japanese terms

Frazão

What happened with Yaiba?

Shawn simpson

didn’t have enough traction on here if i rm correctly.

King of New York

I think it’s honestly the best representation of what I want more of from western adult animation. It feels like we’re mostly only able to get the extremes: an all ages show or an adult show with tons of blood, sex and gore. I wish they’d just go about making regular adult tv shows that are in animation rather than live action because the story lends itself better to the animated medium. I really want more shows like Pantheon.

King of New York

True they should pick Harley Quinn back up. I feel like Danmachi has barely missed the vote for like 4 years now but they should react to it eventually. S4 was really great.

Panda_senpai

I rather u just move on to Dr stone or tougen anki

King of New York

It’s a surprisingly good dark fantasy show

FangYuan

As much as I love LoTM(Novel), I can see how confusing things are with everything going on for newcomers. Amazing animation and OST but it just isn't a good format for such an originally dense story. The recommendations being to pause, take notes, rewatch entire episodes and watch novel readers spent 20 minutes clarifying things that in reality should be able to be understood from the episodes alone is wild and nonsense. Looking forward to watching Pantheon though, looks interesting

King of New York

It’s an AMC adult animated show. Came out 2022 and 2023 but it just got on Netflix earlier this year so it’s gained a lot more popularity. As it should, since it’s great!

Seibahhh

Dr. Stone, Bunny Girl Senpai, Grand Blue...

King of New York

It’s a completed story but it was released on AMC+ which is probably why you hadn’t heard of it compared to shows like Invincible, Vox Machina, Castlevania etc. which are released on wayy bigger platforms like Prime and Netflix. It came to Netflix earlier this year which helped it gain a lot more notoriety thankfully.

JuancaMX

I started reading the novel after really liking episode 4, and after 3 hours I hadn’t even reached the events of episode 1. That’s how much the donghua skipped. What I don’t get is how source readers aren’t mad about all the missing world building. Instead, they get annoyed at people for not fully understanding the world, like what??? Maybe if the show didn’t cut half the setup, people would get it. But I guess once a show becomes your whole personality, you stop seeing how confusing it is for anyone else who hasn't read the novel

SolvPhoenix

You guys seem ready to move on so I think switching to a different show is the best move. It would probably also reduce the amount of crying you have to sift through when you read through the comments.

King of New York

All 3 please 😭. Trust, in time I think they’ll add them back in (although I haven’t heard them say a word about Bunnygirl Senpai so I’m hoping they don’t just drop it because they don’t wanna hunt for the movies😭).

Re_Slayer

Would be pretty sick to get out Danmachi reaction. 🫠

Has Noname

Pantheon for sure. LOTM looks cool, but I dropped it too. Idk, it didn’t hook me really. Yeah if you have to cut out a lottttt of source material, maybe that just isn’t the medium you should be trying to use to tell a story then.

Sakib

Still waiting on danmachi bruh 😭

Danger Tomato

Man fuck pantheon and give me monster

L S

it definitely has some weaknesses but overall its story is top notch probably my favorite sci fi series

SonOfMan

Pantheon is really good. Take it

Grelk

People are retarded man

Wsgyan

Fuck both these shows and give us 6 top boy episodes per week

Qwerty

Facts

Fuji

yeah pantheon would be better at this point, its a shame because the animation is fire, highly recommend reading it tho

Qwerty

Facts

Merfhew

Do you think it would have been possible to successfully tell the story is an animated format if the director was given free reign to pick # of episodes and stray from the typically accepted episode lengths? I feel like certain stories are done a real disservice when forced to fit in a cookie cutter, 21 minute, 13 - 24 episode season. We're in the age of streaming, so there should really be more flexibility. I think we're starting to see more flexibility, but it isn't coming fast enough.

Grelk

Yet another abandoned show

Merfhew

And now, thanks to people like that, the decision became a whole lot easier.

Merfhew

They had to drop it to make space for other seasonal shows, but they sounded open to resuming when the season is over.

Grelk

yeah i guess so

WAY

The issue isn’t that the story is hard to follow or confusing per se. The presentation and execution of the show makes it such a slog to watch. Events just happen. names/mechanics are dropped with no further explanations, little to no characterization or dialogue. Feels like an exposition fest where i’m like “okay this happened…ok this is important i guess…” It’s fine to leave viewers in the dark, wondering but you gotta give them something of substance to hang onto.

Owen Halloran

finally a Pantheon W the show is so good

zay

you can literally count on 1 hand how many shows they “abandoned “ over the last 5 years my nigga what are you even complaining about 😂

Fizzy 🐉

Man pantheon and lord of mysteries can kicks rocks we need top boy 2 episodes per week it only right

FangYuan

Honestly I was already surprised that we got 30+ minute episodes. I was expecting exactly what you said the usual 20ish minute episodes. With the amount of things that have been cut, if they double the length we currently have to add more in-between scenes that are more relaxed and allow watchers to digest the fast paced scenes and information it would work well. The other option is doubling the amount of episodes and letting things build up gradually but again the issue is always going to be cost and people above dictating how fast paced things should be. Looking at the synopsis of each episode for this season, what the first season includes makes sense from A to B, but it's what you said trying to fit that into 13 episodes is too much of an ask. I mean they're doing their best by releasing the additional chibi and explanation videos after each episode, that brings each episode to what, 36-40 minutes each if you include them AND they're also releasing 2 OVA episodes to cover important stuff that isn't directly related to Tingen City.

SirCapAlot

grelk i see what sort of person you are

PetersThimble

We need the campaign for Dark to begin

SirCapAlot

@holly to your point it’s probably why they get lost because they can’t fully lock in they joke and talk to each other to make it entertaining for us

Kevin

I need my food innit!!! But pantheon instead of top boy is a fair switch to me

Dj_Cve

After watching ep5, I fail to see any pacing issues of the sort, so I'd wish you guys would actually watch it and come up with your own conclusions instead of listening to (what could be) the loud minority. But as with Slime and Dungeon Meshi in the past, I will respect your decision, even if I don't agree with it.

SleepDeprived

As a source reader, it just massive cope . The story gets really crazy in later volumes and most source readers haven't read volume one in years so there not as attached to it. If the studio fucks up the many hype moments after this though, their screwed. As its going right now the show won't have the same impact the ending of volume one had on readers, and that's a pivotal moment in the story that made a lot of readers diehard fans. The people attacking others on twitter are either new readers or people huffing massive amounts of copium lol.

Grelk

Yeah they’ll suffer through shit like squid game season 3 and all of us are dead but if a decent show goes a little too fast? Abandoned after 4 episodes

Cleven Anthony

Definitely pantheon, I’m in the same vain as yall where I’m just so lost 😭 n I watched it alone and with yall too

Unknown

i got spoiled on dr stone plot twist and that shit was ass. might as well not watch it

PhaedrusRumple

Yall gonna piss off that loser on Twitter again lmao

PhaedrusRumple

Clearly the “loud minority” says otherwise in this poll.

PhaedrusRumple

Yes they said that in this very poll if you read it

GameGod

If you watched their reactions you would see that they came to their own conclusions lol. You gotta be lying to yourself saying there isn't a pacing issue because by episode 3, 75 chapters was adapted!

KillerMajin

I thought I was the only one who didn't really like pacing glad you guys are swapping it out tbh

MrguyK

Broo nooo ep 5 pacing was good I wish you would reconsider :(

Ernie

PANTHEON BECAUSE NAOMI ❤️

WillGlacier

nah fr they both ass just gives us more of the actual good shit. W

WillGlacier

Now me personally. . . I say fuck both shows and let's just watch something with actual good ratings and not like a show with 10 fans saying it's the next coming of jesus christ or some shit

SolvPhoenix

You can definitely interpret it as them outright saying that. I saw it as them basically say something along the lines of "assuming the people saying that the pacing hasn't changed in the latest episode are correct, we want to switch". To me, the difference and the reason I still said it seems like they don't want to keep watching was because if the pacing HAD slowed down more, they would have given it at least an episode or 2 more. Also, why do you assume I didn't read the post? Just because I reiterate and agree with what was said means I didn't read it?

Moonbane8

I'm sitting this poll out I don't care for either. Hope y'all get something y'all like.

Jtsn

I hope you guys continue Lotm but if you’re not enjoying it don’t force yourselves to watch.

Anon7524

I'm sorry LotM fans, but Pantheon is just a completely different level of brilliance🔥. It's arguably one of the best Sci-Fi concepts in the last few decades by a good margin, and Ive really been excited for them to cover since December back when it returned to streaming finally🔥🔥. Also sorry Roshi had the experience on X from the fandom that he did, as they were extremely rude and disrespectful to him; don't be like them if you disagree about the change🙏😣

Drake Rage

I don't like Link Click cause I think its intentionally made to be convoluted for no reason, but Lord of Mysteries is fast paced but I was hooked already from ep 1, personally. I even went and watched ep 5 by myself, and I don't watch anything by myself anymore, lol. I would rate it as the best Chinese anime we know of. But I did vote for Pantheon cause sci-fi is cool too, lmao. I will watch Lord of Mysteries by myself.

Anon7524

Seriously if you haven't watched Pantheon, give it a chance before saying this. Way more creative and unique story than the classic gang wars of Top Boy

Wsgyan

This was a joke guys calm down I thought I was pretty clear with me requesting 6 episodes of a show :/

britt

i wished they werent rushing the pacing just to get to the hype moments. i think people wouldve appreciated the show more if they just took their time. but needless to say Pantheon it is!

Brandon Acevedo

Too much is happening in a episode that you can miss a lot if you make jokes in between.

Kyuubi16

I just want to know who is giving all these recommendations? Yall should really wait for a few episodes of a show to come out and see if the adaption is decent then recommend it.

Krype

Them dropping slime was reasonable at least

Krype

I only watched S1 of Pantheon so I’m excited to finish it with you guys

Krype

This

Judge42

Then the show isnt good for reactions? They have watched other cerebral shows and joked no problem, Lord of Mysteries just doesnt have tight coherent writing for a show format. Its an adaptation problem, im sure the LN is great

L S

get ready to fry your brain

Liam Wave

Was enjoying LoTM, sad to see it go.

Norman kay10

Recommendation: RAGNA CRIMSON

Jason Marbach

Man, co-sign on Harley Quinn. Seasons 4-5 aren’t AS good as before (and a couple eps in season 5 were just flat out bad) but their reactions to the show have always been GAS

Yanni Haddix

Nah I’m good off that imma just cancel and comeback when we get a good season of anime and I can binge their top boy reactions

Jason Marbach

What’s it gonna take to get y’all to do My Adventures With Superman? Show is such DIESEL. Until this new movie, it was the best version of Supes, Lois, Jimmy, and so many other characters. And it’s animated by Mir! Few shows could be more in y’all’s wheelhouse

ShaquanVirse

Same LOTM fans cursing him out

Dj_Cve

We shall agree to disagree in that case

Aye Jaye

Reactions get more views when they're done this close to air date. It makes sense to do this, a lot of channels did this for Chainsaw Man. The show going this way is kind of just worst case scenario, but Roshi got the initial views so this wasn't that bad of a situation.

derick ako

I think you guys should at least give it one more episode to see for yourself if you still can't follow along

HonorableHarvey

did they watch Shangri-La Frontier? if not that could be a replacment

Skebaba

Nah, plenty of reactors react just fine to LOTM, because they PAUSE if they are talking about some random meaningless shit & press resume only after they have locked in.

brandon

You guys should watch orb: on the movements of the earth when u have the chance it’s on Netflix.

JA

I think you should continue LoM after the dub is out. I’m a strong sub fan, but I think it would be easier to follow for you guys

Chandler

We need another sports anime. Maybe ping pong the animation or Aoashi

sol jam

now thats a good a recommendation

Imari

recommendation shameless after the bear is over?

minn

I think you guys would like twilight of the gods, and blood of Zeus on Netflix. BOZ was animated by the same studio of Castlevania. ❤️

Anon7524

If you're talking about for yourself, sure. If you mean for a reaction, then no. The show is 11 seasons long at about 12 eps a piece, which takes up way too many slots for way too long (same sit as those who kept spamming world trigger like 6 months back). Plus, and this part is only my opinion, but I can not sit through it knowing the comments will likely just defend Fiona's horrible streak the entire time😅

Kevin

Wanna throw super crooks back into the convo again

Ody

Question, how to polls/suggestions for new shows work? I never see them just hear about them when a new show gets picked up.

Ace

Clone Wars

That guy joe

They mostly just go off vibes and see what people want the most in the comments, they’ll occasionally do polls if absolutely necessary but bad things happen when polls are introduced sometimes… For example we’re never getting Danmachi because of lost polls, we almost Lost Snowfall because of Sweet home, and most recently We almost lost Top boy because of Reacher..

JsemicolonA

I've seen people who have read the novel say they don't like the donghua because it crams chapters of information in 1 episode if that's the case I can see why people aren't happy with the pacing

Kevin

pantheon s1+s2 goated

BruLee Arts

Grand Blue and Super Crooks throwback pls

ClxmpinTy

Grand blue s2 🥹

Kurxai

aw man that sucks i GUESS theres no other choice... might as well gon head and watch soul eater or tokyo ghoul...

Only joined for LOM, RIP

fuck that goofy ahh show finlly gone manhwa/manhua is always a miss only solo leveling had a decent adaptation

Fizzy 🐉

Literally no one is crying

Crusoe

It's about GOD DAMN time. This gone be Litty.

Jonathan Hart

Almost done with it and man it's refreshing to see a teen show that can be mature and not overly childish.

Wizard

You should stay around. They’re good people, and hilarious.

GigaDirt

PANTHEON!!! YESSSSSS!!!

GigaDirt

See about giving a few other shows a shot, maybe some of their older reactions, they have tons of good stuff

Dappy

PANTHEON PLEASE IT'S ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN SHOWS YOU'LL WATCH

GigaDirt

I was just as lost as you guys with this show, but im also dumb as a bag of rocks and Pantheon also confused me at some points. (If you've seen it you know exactly the points im talking about)

Justin Hutchinson

How are people not able to follow this ? Y'all need to read some fantasy books apparently to understand the foundations of magic systems. This show is following the same logic as every other magic system out there. Avatar last Airbender and D&D are 2 popular ips. Another would be to be hero x.

Sanibun

While I agree with your statement don't put down other shows to hype another one up. Regardless it makes complete sense to drop a show if they weren't enjoying it. As a fan of LOTM they did kind of botch up the adaptation with the pacing. People that insult others for not liking their favorite show or book is all kinds of stupid. You have some of those people in every fandom.

Sanibun

They weren't enjoying the show. Even as a lotm fan i could tell from their reactions. Makes sense to drop it if it wasn't their cup of tea.

Justin Hutchinson

Disagree judge . I'm only watching it and am able to keep tabs of what I know and what hasn't been explained yet. Seems like they want stuff to explained immediately instead of being shown first and explained later.

Michael Kaiser

You should def stay around like wizard say these r the only guys I watch for entertainment I love them never fail to make me laugh or cheer me up been with me through some of my worst/lonely nights I sound like a looser but def worth the money it’s going to good ppl anyways

Denis Fekete

the least u can do is after reacting to ask or look for info u don't understand lol, it's hard first few episodes but cmon it's not rocket science

B J

Been supporting them on youtube for a while and will continue to do so. Happy for the Pantheon fans though, haven't seen it but might have to give it a shot

bobo

I always wanted to recommend kekkai sensen but thought the pacing of the first episode was a little too fast, but after seeing lotm, the pacing in kekkai sensen doesn't seem like any issue at all In comparison xd

Fred

I promise I’m just thinking of the right works to say I know it don’t sound the way I plan them to be but if you wait around a while I’ll make you fall for me I promise I promise you I willll

PJ Rivera

Yeah they really goofed with the insane pacing where you had to watch youtube videos to understand whats going on. You guys can always revisit it at a later date

Michael Kaiser

Hope to see you around I haven’t finished pantheon but from the ep’s I’ve seen it was great

Gimme Dem Ankles

The show should do a better job of explaining

john segun doe

Just wait for the Japanese dub, thats what im doing

john segun doe

Pantheon is ight i guess, S1 is quite good then it kinda loses me. I kinda cant wait for Black Mirror or Mr. Robot. And plz Top Boy twice a week soon… I BEG!!!!!

13

Thank god we can finally drop this

Anon7524

Not intended to comment about putting down LotM at all since it's a wonderful adaptation of a Xuanhuan novel for once which will be confusing since the genre is a bit of a mess😅; just praising Pantheon since they really are on different levels🔥. Also in regards to the fandom part, yes there are those people in other ones, but the very vocal ones for LoTM were really rude to Roshi these past few days such as, "let me translate what he said here 'we not doing all that because the show isn't doing numbers on our channel so we are not gonna put effort into remembering things and just push these reactions out, so we can take our 50th vacation this year'"

Denis Fekete

I know but the amount of info and content it has it would take 35 seasons to cover everything that’s why i said if you don’t get something is not that hard to take 5 minutes to watch a tik tok that explains everything, especially when it’s ur job to react to it, and i don’t expect it to be as confusing as it was all the way through, it’s harder at first with all the power system and world info we got dumped but even that wasn’t so hard with some tiktoks, still way better than reading all of that lol.

derick ako

This not true they are just changing the order of event, the director confirmed this

derick ako

Bruh character arcs??? It's only been five episodes lmaoo like what. This is a little unreasonable gang

B C

I will say that I have been enjoying Lord of Mysteries just for the atmosphere and trying to puzzle out how they are building their universe, but I also don't feel its a great show right now. So I can especially understand how reactors want to drop it, especially since its not like we have knowledge that its going to explain things later since its not a full season yet. I would have been like "ehhh, I don't think its that bad to drop it", but when you say you'll pick up Pantheon instead? Windmill slam vote on Pantheon.

Jordan Postle

You meant tell the show titled "Lord of Mysteries" is keeping the mystery?😂

Dude

MAKE MORE TOP BOY TIME CMON

Mari

I’m on episode 7, really liking it so far

jimbo

Would have liked to see you guys continue with LoM but if it is really not jiving with you, Pantheon is not a bad pick

Kablamoo101

can’t lie i’m confused asf with what and where the story is going but it’s still an entertaining show. i don’t think it’s a thing where you can’t follow a long but it’s more like what are we doing here. maybe future episodes confirm stuff or whatever but it would be nice to see more eps

Tbdovan

I'm not watching an anime to deep dive like it's homework with an assignment due before midnight.

Kablamoo101

like the LoM is interesting from the powers to world building but there’s a lot of information being fed while the only story line right now is the Antigonus thingy

Has Noname

Agreed, it was a very good Superman adaptation. Surprised more people didn’t talk about it

Helpy

Goes to show how much they don't enjoy this one then, does it not?

Helpy

No it won't

Helpy

Yes you can do things in a show to build character within the episode, not an entire arc ofc but insight to who they are as a person. (EX: Episode 1 AoT early in the episode I learn Eren hates to be trapped like cattle through his dialogue with Hannes, a girl named Mikasa is very protective of him, and even more in just 1 episode) IMO I did not get that in LOM from the characters, it just jumps to plot and more plot.

Lūthér Hölâyèãhmé

Btw thats code for "we are dropping this show until we hear that it gets crazy good"

MGC

Yall are spoonfed plot by shonen slop too often. A shame but understandable if you dont understand what's happening.

Lurkingposter

Please STFU. It doesn't matter how good the story is if they are adapting 30 chapters per episode.

Danny

It ain't about the mystery. It's about the convoluted story telling and pacing. Too much information dumping every 2 seconds. It's not a good adaptation. Just because it has good animation doesn't make it a good show.

YaBoyRoshi

False. Summertime Rendering, Severance, From, Madoka Magica, Attack on Titan, currently The Sumemr Hikaru Died I can go on and on with non shonen shows that have excellent writing and adaptations that dont spoon feed plot. LOTM sinply dropped the ball and thats okay

Alexander Flores

only time im gonna disagree this ep of lotm was the easiest to understand but anyways its your choice

mercury_black17

bc solo leveling its made for peanut brain like u to understand bc its simple LoM its different because the story its a bit more complex like Frieren

mercury_black17

lmao tokyo ghoul might aswell read the manga the anime sucks

Taj B

Let Roshi cook.😂 Sad to see LOTM go but pantheon is also peak so W substitute.

Merfhew

Roshi watched Black Clover off camera, and I think Sheera did, too. I'm not sure if they watched every episode, though. As for Lupa, I couldn't tell you.

Aj2sheisty

I’m a longtime fan and I understand your reasoning but as someone who read all of lotm I think not only was the last episode the easiest to understand and dropping a show that will be 150 + eps after the first 4 is a little crazy. Even though the pacing hasn’t been the best so far there have been shows in the past that have been objectively worse and that you guys have stuck with longer.

KingdorismHD

I see people have the same mentality as people with one piece "yeah man. Keep watching it. You'll like it once you hit episode 300"

Alex

I’m going to read the manga giving it a chance

Itanna

Would love it if you guys did a slot for older shows. My favourite reactions till this day are the Avatar/Korra and Young Justice reactions. Would be cool to see you react to an old Pokémon movie, avengers EMH etc.

Lurkingposter

@Aj2sheisty As a blind watcher, the pacing is absolute dog shit. This adaption was made for people like you, who have already read the series.

Upfront51

I wanna see them react to the DCAMU movies in order

Itanna

I want to see them react to the DC movies like under the red hood, Black Adam vs Shazam

AmityBloaf

There's Alot of reactors this applies too.. The trio Ain't one of them.. they Ain't the Normies just saying shit to say shit.. they've shown time and again that they can make jokes and pay attention ESPECIALLY Roshi, if anything he's always locked in and we'll tell the other 2 to subtlety shush if nessacary.

Crispy Bacon

have to agree with roshi. it dropped the ball for new people, though it's a treat if you're a fan of the novels, which I am, but even so, I think that the problems it has now are mostly a script issue. some of the direction and cuts flow weird too. I get they have to condense a lot cause it's a massive series, but it's def possible to do it well. seems some of these chinese productions still have a lot to catch up on

ShaquanVirse

Its not even remotely the same. Anime community for One Piece does suck though. The situation here is LOTM is speeding through the plot, One Piece problem is they moving at a snails pace. An episode of One Piece once adapted 1 page

ShaquanVirse

Lupa has but im not sure if he's caught up

nugbackagn

best comment this one made me giggle lol

Grimm

Don't know how much you care to deep dive in Star Wars but Clone Wars is really a good show. But the thing is you do need to get a list on what episodes to watch in chronological order but you could also find a list of important arcs to watch.

Rissa2003MM

I going to skip this vote but you guys decide what to watch since it's your time and plus I understand because the anime is fast paced I'll still watch it on my own time but I think I'll stick to the rest of the light novel since I'm only on volume 2. And I don't want you guys to force yourself to watch something that feels like an obligation than actual entertainment that you can be excited to find out what happens next.

MGC

skill issue tbh. none of my homies have read it and they are loving it so far

lackingnames

How is that "not remotely the same". They both have pacing issues that make them nigh-unwatchable if youre bothered by it. Its literally the same thing

Ewasabi316

Been a fan of the series and your reactions to Lord of Mysterious but if its not your cup of tea an the fans have been ass drop it with no regrets

Michael Kaiser

Under red hood pls I’ll fall on my knees

Cleven Anthony

Damn disrespect cause he doesn’t like your show is crazy especially since ppl had no issues w frieren

Jason Marbach

I’m a D&D nut and the magic system in LOTM isn’t hard at all to keep up with. It’s everything else. The pacing is cheeks, you don’t get any time to get invested in anyone or anything. Just a poorly executed show, which is a shame because apparently the source material is quite good.

Victor

It looks like the result is clear enough. Patheon is solid so I don't have any complaint. What I am really confused is, no offence, but episode 3 and 4 were way easier to understand than the first two episodes, which you guys seemed to able to follow.

WockWizard

"skill issue" ur a fucking loser lmao

Elijah

Also doom patrol.

jimbo

The trio have reacted to and enjoyed Pluto which is also a mystery show. I think the issue they have with the LoM donghua is that it doesn't take the time to make you care for the characters and establish a clear set of objectives. A lot of you say it's fine if it's confusing cuz that's what mysteries are about. However, the confusion shouldn't be to the extent that the narrative lacks cohesiveness to this degree.

Mervyn Larrier

Have Lupa be the one to pick them out for the poll

Asellian

loser ass nigga

Gate

just replace it with more episodes of Lie in April and finish it faster

King of New York

I would cream my pants if they suddenly decided to react to all the old DC direct-to-DVD movies. The only problem is that Lupa has seen pretty much all of them. Still, they were able to do a trio reaction for The Batman even though Lupa already saw it in theatres so it's possible. All the properties you mentioned are peak.

King of New York

Roshi mentioned before that other creators kept getting copyright strikes on YT for Shangri-la, so they never took it into consideration. It could work as a Patreon exclusive though.

King of New York

Great show! Recommended it a few times but it fell through. I think they'd really enjoy it. Fresh new takes and very anime-inspired. Hughie from The Boys also voices Clark which is cute lol. Since they announced the My Adventures with Green Lantern show, there's a chance this could be their new shared DC animated universe. Whenever that Mister Miracle show comes out I'll be spamming them like crazy too.

Nick

That isn't what people say about One Piece, though. Arlong Park is the arc where people say to watch up to in order to see if you like One Piece or not. And that's only 50ish episodes in.

Victor

The poll result is pretty much set in stone, but I have to point out something. If they adapt everything without condensing, season 1 would have 50+ episodes (I am not exaggerting at all), which will never get the green light for adaptation, and many of the chapters are background information or slice of life with little to nothing going on. If they do it like that, there would definitely be complaints about the slow pacing, and more people would drop it after a few episodes. Another point is that, and I can't emphasize this enough, there are contents that were not translated and cut out of every episodes that will greatly help anime watchers only keep up with the show, which were exactly what you stated in the description last episode. Many people also repeatedly mentioned this point and included where to watch them but you guys seemed to not notice them. I know it is a hassle, but blame it on whoever that thought it would be a good idea to rip those parts out of the official episodes in the first place. If you guys decide to pick this series up again, please watch those after every episode. Pantheon W though, and it is long overdue.

King of New York

Oh damn, that's interesting. I didn't think Link Click was confusing at all. The only things that seemed confusing to me are the things that haven't been given answers yet and were meant to be mysteries. I loved theory crafting every week after an episode dropped. It's honestly my favourite time-travel anime because every aspect of the show is top-notch and the writing is so good. I think it's the most unique use of time-travel I've seen in anime. But hey, that's just me. I'm really enjoying LOTM too. The difference is that LOTM is being adapted from the novel and getting massive content cuts. Link Click and To Be Hero X are anime originals so there's no source material to condense. I think that really helped with the pacing for most people. I respect your take though. Honestly I love ALL of these shows so either way I'm winning lol.

PJ Rivera

Light novel is much clearer and easier to understand

PJ Rivera

Bruh they’re adapting 30+ chapter per episodes its too fast and its in chinese where the translation is trash and they talk crazy fast

PJ Rivera

Lowkey me too the chinese translation on crunchyroll is ass and they speak so fast

KingdorismHD

I've asked multiple people, until what episode one piece gets good. The majority have said water 7 arc. I had to look it up to see what episodes and it says 300. I'm not about to invest hours just to get to the point where I might like it. Ngl imma keep watching the live action. It shortens the series by a lot. Either that or wait for the remake

King of New York

Nah you cooking here. Pantheon is awesome though. Fuck it, give us both.

Coatl45

Y’all do it how y’all like. I’m not going to expect you guys to react to stuff you don’t like. It’s not like I watch all the shows you guys react to. Some shows I’m not interested in, but y’all react to enough things that I like that I’m not going to pull my subscription if you drop a handful that y’all don’t like. I’m not the type of guy who holds a gun to peoples’ heads and forces them to watch stuff they don’t like. (I swear, the number of comments coming from people who hate the shows they’re commenting on but refuse to drop them is ridiculous. The only reasonable explanation for it all is that someone’s holding guns to their heads and forcing them to watch those shows.) Anyways, I don’t know anything about this Pantheon show, so I don’t have an opinion on it. Maybe I’ll check it out with y’all’s reactions.

Drake Rage

Yeah, this season of animated shows is super good, we winning either way for sure, haha.

john segun doe

Bruh when I saw no Jpn dub or Eng Dub, i was out!! No offense to china lol but im used to watching it in those other 2 languages

Jam

yeah, the clown fight in ep 3 happens in like ch 80 thats how quick this shit is going. They've also shuffled around the order of certain events and how they happen but oh well it's an adaptation it can't be 1:1

Jam

the web novel is great at this, but the donghua pacing is just so wack that it isn't really possible

2-bit

one of my favorite shows can't wait for you to watch pantheon

Imari

Lol literally

blud

man drop ts roshi kaiju no. 8 starting from this week right ?! RIGHT?!? 🔥🔥🔥 so hyped for it

Pillars of Eldritch

If it requires you to stop and pause to understand, then yes by all means change

Wsgyan

You just said it yourself you read it so it’s easier for you to understand

Noinim

Sadden to hear it go but I have hopes yall will return to it if good things turn it around for later seasons that we know are coming. Hoping for a dungeon meshing return in the future!

Anime can save you

Change that Overrated Mystery show, it's going too far, i think reading it as a novel would be best way to appreciate

Doctors

Clevatass 🔥

giannhs giannhs

Its crazy that they are dropping a show which its lowest rating episode in imdb is 9.0

Sekki

Would just go with Pantheon and wait untill dub releases in addition with better pacing to pick it back up

joe

watch teasing takagi san

Doug_Eiffel

I feel like they should swap LOTM with Dr Stone and wait for Takopi to end and replace that with Pantheon. Especially since Pantheon episodes are all already out and Takopi only has 2 episodes left

MonarchXIII

Finally we're getting Peaktheon

zay

one piece is “good” from the beginning Arlong park is the first arc and its heat ppl say it doesn’t get good until water 7 are just not being honest no one watches 100+ episodes of anything if its not “good” yet if you’re not hooked after arlong park & alabasta its just not a show for you which ppl seem to not understand 😂 every show isn’t for everybody

kipples

Pretty disappointing it seems like this anime is like attack on Titan. You don’t get everything in the front but it seems like you guys only want that type of anime. Do you not remember re-watching stuff as a kid or other anime had to rewatch episodes to understand better you guys do what you need to do, but that sucks.

L S

bro the first episode wasnt all that its just the beginning of the second season, they will get to it

Lamaree Jackson

“I don’t see how you guys are having a hard time following, I re read the light novel after every episode and can follow it fine.” 🤡🤡🤡🤡

IzzyTheWitch

Aaww. Would love to watch LOTM with you guys but if you wanna change it, go for it. I just have to watch it on my own time I guess. Probably read the novel to check if its my cup of tea.

Grimm

from what I heard is that they rushed the story in the anime because they thought people wouldn't like it. It seems they skipped a lot of chapters. I could be wrong but I've seen comments saying that.

John sekiro

Honestly pantheon I got to the end of the first season a year ago but stopped watching because I had other stuff to watch. Ive been enjoying lotm idc if the whole world doesn’t like it I’ll still be watching every Friday

kipples

They 100% did , I did read the novel and it was a common consensus in reviews that it was too slow. TBH I loved the beginning , but it does seem like they did that. Poor decision. There are three mini episodes that help with understating . I just have seen quite a few reactions and this is the first one I’ve seen just frustration . I get it tho , wish they would re watch or have some interest but honestly if they don’t like it then who cares , nbd

PANTHEOOOOOON. Id be down to check out LOTM again. I just watched the first episode and I was mad confused. They throw a whole bunch of stuff at you at once. I bet once it gets its rhythm its gonna be good.

Kyuubi16

Anything like a highly popular shonen series getting a manga to anime adaption makes sense and is safe. Anything else like a game to show or a light novel to show or an original property is something to err more on the side of caution since the different changes of medium are exactly what causes pacing issues like when tons of information and character are cut out from light novels for a snappy pacing but sacrifices a lot of content.

Orominu

i resubscribed just to say... THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR i'm hype af for pantheon, i love that show

MoeGoesForth

As someone who read the novel, I couldn’t tell you why people are saying things like this when they could explain it in a much better fashion. For example, I was just as confused as you guys when reading it, and i realized that the more I read, the more I was able to connect the dots, and it formed a beautiful story. I wish they would keep lotm on the schedule but what can I do atp

Ed

At this point I'll just wait for the English dub of lotm and then get into it.

It’s really one of those stories that is meant to be a little confusing and it comes together but it’s understandable why some people might get frustrated. So I’m not mad if anything just a little disappointed.

JustADad 🟣⚫️

This is honestly not a bad idea. April is gonna take forever to finish at this pace for a show that is already done.

JustADad 🟣⚫️

But as other people have already stated the whole story is designed to be like that. Now is it rushed a bit? Yes, however that was a chosen choice because the production team literally thought that with modern day audiences being so short on attention, if they paced it like the books then people would check out. It was really a lose/lose situation. The story does come together and make sense but you have to stick with it. That being said I understand where frustration can build and it is what it is.

Malik Allen

Who even suggested that abomination in the first place ?💀 was there a poll that I missed or something 😅🤣

P. A.

It's not like Attack on Titan. Attack on Titan had a more comprehensive storytelling even with all the mysteries that kept u hooked up. LOTM isnt doing that and judging by what ppl are saying in the comments, the ones who directed it didn't do any favors for it. I expected this pool to happen after seeing first episode, knowing the trio.

kipples

I agree on most but the info in the side panels is just like attack

Emilio Albistur

As a novel reader, yeah, another Masterpirce fucking ruined, i should knew nothing good could come from tencent, and pantheon is such a good show so yeah

Rak

literally no one knew they anime was gonna chop off so much content so what are you talking about? it was a really well-written novel beforehand

Stephen D

Drop the anime and just read the novels whenever you guys have free time.

Siah

The pacing for episode 5 isn’t bad the content they go over is spread through a bunch of chapters they just put it all in the same episode so it’s easier to understand for anime onlys people cry to cry

Malik Allen

lol you must be new here, you could tell from the first episode that they wasn’t feeling it for content.

logan krause

Yall should watch hunting of hill house if yall have never seen it, it’s a 10 episode old Netflix show from like 2020, but it was insanely good. Maybe yall have already

auutsav

Bro they have to soon

Ace S

For anyone wanting to keep watching, I recommend y'all watch with YaboyRocklee they seem to actually enjoy piecing the show together + their interpretations

Trist9n

Okay then keep watching it on your own instead of crying the Pacing sucks more than half the fanbase agrees especially people that read it

Trist9n

Just started Shangri la frontier think I’m on episode 10

iibreezy2x

The thing is they are already busy with other shows and also to most people having to read or watch yt videos for an anime sucks all the entertainment out of the show.

local

please do an Anime instead

Michael Kaiser

Patiently waiting on sakamoto days don’t hoe me on my day off roshi😞I wanna see my goat

Fijith1

Can yall react to season 2 of bunny girl senpai

Cool The Wrathful

Pantheon’s got its flaws but its peak regardless, I think you guys will enjoy it

Redwood

The novel was so good I read it twice. It is unfortunate the show was ruined like this. They condensed each episode way too much.

Nita - Kento's Widow

Wish I started LOTM earlier so I could properly vote on this—I'm getting a lotta mixed opinions so Ig I'll check it out pretty soon. If it's a real good show I hope you guys continue in your free time but it seems like a show that doesn't work for reactions—

HaruhiDream

Clearly you must be new here because Roshi was hyped for it just like everyone else. No one knew it was going to be a bad adaptation until they started watching. 1 episode ain't enough to judge a series.

britt

they watched it on their own time

jimbo

The production team itself was upset with how they had to structure the story. Remember they were forced in their contract with tencent to create this short attention span set up. Not only are they rushing through the timeline of the story, they are also gutting key dialogue which would have helped with the context of the narrative and character familiarization. In the end the donghua was min-maxed in such a manner that the narrative was weakly established compared to the source material. Perhaps if the later episodes ramp up in popularity, they can revisit the series, maybe watching more episodes per session to catch up. Although the adaptation is slightly lackluster, I would have liked them to continue but if they are really not enjoying it, that's not our call to make. I don't want them faking enjoyment and glazing over a show they can't get immersed in.

Rei Zero

Finally I’ve been waiting for pantheon

JTUltima

Nigga got ragebaited by some fanboy into dropping the show earlier😭

MisterFamous

Man I get what I am about to say is an unfair comparison but me personally, I feel that if we can watch Ninja Kamui and Lazarus to the end to see if they stick the landing we could've thugged it out to finish watching LoM to see if things get clarified. Not everything has to be perfect reaction content. I'm only saying this as someone who's not a fan of dropped shows period. Watched the rest of Slime and Shield Hero on my own and enjoyed it but would have enjoyed it more with the trio. My only real point with this is since it got started why not just finish it? If the answer is because it allows you to get other content people want faster then that's fine but then what about everything else in the back log that people want to see. Dungeon Meshi got dropped after 2 episodes and then brought back just because people didn't vibe with it at first. Sometimes it's okay to just let things rock.

Kevin Campos

Go watch ScissorSeven instead!

Luciaron

I love the LoM novel but they really rushed the anime. Makes me sad like how the second season of Tower of God made me sad.

sordid mirth

I was hyped for LOTM but the pacing is so bad I actually got bothered by it. couldn't help but just notice how fast certain scenes were going. Don't get me wrong tho. The story is interesting and the animation is amazing, but the pacing is just not it. It's a shame this has to suffer the same thing as slime, studios need think about the pacing before releasing them.

ShaquanVirse

you bugging lol chill LOTM is done

T2M

Damn what, I did note expect this poll and especially these resulsts... I mean the reactions itself leave not space to "react" tbh because yall just locked in for 30 mins but still, its so good

Mamba Mentality

Yes glad someone mention this series it's fire🔥

DIOR

Noooo I missed the drama 😂

Devaunta

Facts bro, Ninja Kamui was dog shite and LOM has a consistently good story and animation with ridiculous levels of world building, but I can tell during the reactions that they are getting clapped by the info.

Drake Rage

I was busy during my last reply, but just to say what I don't like specifically about Link Click is shit like "The MC has 1 power" no wait he has 2.. no 3... no 4 powers the entire time, and then the time travel... but how does having 4 powers instead of the ONE they had initially said affect the story/understanding? No fking clue, cause they don't leave hidden clues/breadcrumbs to figure out, literally none, just changing the entire story by adding additional info fkn 3 seasons in... additional info is fine except the info changes/potentially NEGATES everything from before so there is pretty much no actual/concrete understanding about what is actually happening/happened in the events covered in S1-2 etc, lol. I love mysteries but god dam I hated Link Click cause there is nothing to figure out, we gotta wait for the show to reveal literally everything and just stare at the screen like fkn idiots. I like making connections/finding hints/breadcrumbs, but like I said, specifically I think the point where I decided Link Click sucked was in S3 where they gave "additional info" that basically makes S1-S2 completely unreliable cause they were hiding powers that they used, that they didn't show, so we can't know what actually happened etc.. Anyways, see, even explaining myself is getting so chaotic and confusing, lol.

Devaunta

Please return to this show, I’ll watch it on my own time but I really hope to see your reaction

Asl43n

No, the show sucks. I would literally rather use my time to read the novel than watch that terrible pacing that probably only ruins the experience of how good the source material is.

Lildreezy

They could have watched ep 5 and made a opinion themselves Buh they juss listen to dumfucks on twitter without watching the ep

Lildreezy

Ep 4 and 5 wasn’t even badly paced if u think so then u juss have no reading comprehension

Nita - Kento's Widow

I brought up Dugeon Meshi and then deleted it but yeah great points here. Hopefully they come back to it and, while I'm just now starting the show, I kinda share this sentiment.

RedSunCrusher!!!

Can people chill out when it comes to reactors dropping a show that they love like it's never that serious man and who knows if the pacing gets better they might come back to watch it. At this point the LOTM fan base is finna put me off of even buying the books. Like it ain't never that serious to be so disrespectful and childish to anyone who drops a show and then immediately talk mess about them like come on man is just disappointing to see.

YungZeus

Honestly, the only thing that’s ruining the anime for me is the subtitles. Chinese anime are just cursed with bad subtitles for some reason. (At least not from official sources…)

MGC

No need to get defensive lol. If you arent understanding the parts that are quite clearly explained in LOtM at this point in the story it is just a skill issue. There's nothing wrong with that tho because it's really not structured the way most folks are used to. You arent given hardly any info so you're supposed to be left having to theory craft. The way its paced just isn't your style, and its definitely not reaction friendly content for these guys style of reaction.

kipples

Just read Lupa messeges on Twitter , man im so sad the reason you guys refuse to pause and read is because and I quote “ editing must be crazy we would rather not “ after being asked about why you don’t pause . Man , forget the anime forget that doesn’t matter . This is crazy you make at minimum 70k plus a month on just Patreon , you can’t afford to take the time are you kidding me . Damn. Been subbed for nearly 2 years . How sad .

Dannyboi2024

Honestly, yeah that show is good

john segun doe

This crashout is very unnecessary. Throwin out a random figure of how much they make doesn't strengthen your argument, it makes you sound and look ridiculously desperate for their content to an invasive extent. Plz Chill out

kipples

Simply stating that someone’s job and quality has gone down after supporting that lifestyle for years is not a crash it’s a very clear statement and I did drop myself because of that regardless of the anime I expected more and it’s not a random figure. It’s extremely lowballed with 70,000 people subscribed on a non-free Subscription. The lowest figure is 70,000

john segun doe

Actually I hella get your logic on this one

Tookie

Lol they made it a standard for themselves to not pause unless absolutely necessary. I agree with their take that complex animes are good, but pausing every couple of minutes to connect the dots shouldn't be necessary. And the weird sub's don't make it much better, and I'm sure editing is even more of a headache. Besides, they left it up to the community that you were apart of to decide if it should be replaced or not. To which over 3.6k of 5.2k people, wanted the show replaced. They simply considered dropping it, and left the final say to their community. Money has nothing to do with it either. They have kids and relationships they need to take care of in their lives, including the editor.

john segun doe

@tookie thats a good point. At the end of the day its the community that made the choice

thatNEET_

Oh damn, I just watched the latest episode of Lord of Mysteries, and it felt like I missed like 2 or 3 episodes. It makes no sense that they would skip forward with no explanation like that.

Yeeter

Could you guys perhaps swap to the English dub for Lord of Mysteries when it's caught up with the Chinese sub (in roughly 3 weeks) A lot of people commented on how they were able to follow along with episodes 1 and 2 of the English dub a lot better than they were in Chinese with no real need to pause at all

Johnwick

Switch to english dub is not bad at all & you will follow the pacing a lot better . Up to ya tho ..

Johnwick

Just stay you broke flee lmaoo

Johnwick

Why you watching pockets lol

Zach

Shows decent but i considered dropping it myself tbh, only really interesting part to me is when hes in the fog at the table aura farming lol.

Starcandy

This show is something you won't get unless you're watching or reading cultivation stories

Dante's Pizza Slice

The horrible pacing is really only for the first 3 episodes and even then it has the core elements you just have to put a bit more focus in I have a friend who can barely pay attention to anything watch it and I told him to lock in and he did and yeah there are lots of things he doesn't understand but that is obvious but he still has the main knowledge he has to know and likes it I am not defending what people are saying about reactors dropping it but I am saying they can at least give it the respect to watch it all the way through especially since the finale is peak

Dante's Pizza Slice

Yeah but that only happens for the first 3 because they were forced to get the clown fight out by the 3rd episode but everything else is really good and it isn't that bad

Markus

I’m late to the party lol but I read LOTM and I enjoyed it even with the dogshit translation. I tried the adaptation and it was ass. People keep saying that it’s supposed to like that are lying. The start of the novel was slow and drawn out to help you get used to the world and the characters. It’s not as confusing as the adaptation. In the novel, you were able to identify with the main character and understanding his motivations and the adaptation failed at that. Also, if you’ve never read or watched xianxia or any cultivation series, it’s easier to get lost. Honestly, the novels are extremely popular in China and people would’ve watched regardless which is why they were able to get away with this shit.

Alexander S

Difference being Lord of Mysteries can be very hard to follow because of it's Chinese story telling and general confusing pacing for watchers like the gang. Ninja Kamui was easy to follow, but the animation got rough. Lazarus wasn't hard to follow, animation was great, story just wasn't all that amazing.
