Pollgate 6.0: New Show Poll (Patreon)

This is gonna be a complicated one!

TLDR:

• I will likely make a 2nd poll based on leaders of this poll + new additions if I feel there is a consensus that there are MUST ADD shows I missed.

• Next time I will either choose a show or do a preliminary Google poll for full options.

• It is possible I will choose 2 shows from this poll, depending on show length.

• Multiple choice is encouraged.

First off, huge thank you to everyone who shared ideas with me either in the question form I posted, in comments, or privately.

There were a few major difficulties in making this poll:

1) Patreon polls are limited to 25 options despite hundreds of recommendations.

2) All the heavy favorites from the last handful of polls have either been completed or started (HxH, Haikyuu!!, Re: Zero, Steins Gate) which makes it seem less likely there will be a clear and obvious choice this time around, and more likely that the result will be controversial.

3) One great idea brought up is for me to pick something I want to watch, but for reasons I'm struggling to figure out I actually don't have any strong instincts right now for what the GREAT WORK of the current moment is in ANY country or medium (no AoT, no Breaking Bad, etc.). ((Why is this? Is it that there are no new works capturing collective interest, or is it because people are increasingly niching away from shared media movements, separated by varied interests and platforms? Am I the one in a bubble?))

My solution is this:

• Launch this poll of 25, giving priority to shows I feel have been recommended for a very long time, or are brought up frequently across platforms.

• If I feel there is a consensus about a glaring omission on this poll, I will do a follow-up poll with whatever the closely scoring leaders are PLUS those extra choices. It is highly possible that there will be a runoff poll anyway, so may as well use that to include any obvious choices I undoubtedly have missed.

• The next time I do a poll, I will open up a google docs / sheets for a full list of recommendations and do a follow-up Patreon poll based on the results (like I did way back when).

Other things:

• Multiple choice is enabled

• Depending on how the poll goes, if the winner is a short show, I might use this poll to pick the following show as well.

• I finally included Code Geass. I actually have seen it a long time ago, but I remember nothing.

• In the future, depending on how things go and time availability, I think it would be a good time to start doing trial runs of certain shows which may include new genres entirely (this would not interfere with the schedule).

• I will be watching Arcane season 2 in November

This poll will run until the 21st @12pm EST, at which point I will either announce the new show or make a new poll that will run for another few days.

Schedule: 

This week's videos will be few in number but long in time:

Later this week: HxH Q&A

And then the following week will be:
