Hello everyone, This is pretty close to the five options for the upcoming poll. As specified before, this is specifically for something shorter and recent. There will be other polls in the future for older, more niche stuff i'm interested in.

  • Heavenly Delusion

  • Frieren

  • Orb: On the movements of the Earth

  • Dandadan

  • Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is the one older Anime I went with, since it checks off so many boxes. My own interest in it, with my affinity for Time Travel narratives, and also because I know there is a decent amount of interest from patrons as well.

I left Pluto out for now because there is already an Urasawa Anime running on the channel.

If either Frieren or Steins;Gate win, I will eventually make those releases twice a week, given the length.

Letsgoooo SteinsGate

Gabriel Acosta

Damn this will be a tough one to choose

Isaac

I will be shamelessly supporting Frieren, but this is a fine list

festive obeliskus

Orb or frieren orb or frieren orb or frieren aaaAAA

Horizon xkuni

Steins gate peak 🙏🏼 in my top 5

Ryuma

i couldn't get into frieren at all lol but im guessing it kinda must be good since a lot of people like it?? but steins gate on the other hand?? spectacular.

Justine

FRIERENNNN but i’d be happy with steins gate too <:

م -

FRIEREN 😍!!!

Sloopgamer

Hope for Steins Gate but I‘m expecting Frieren to win this. I would love to have a Dandadan reactions series from you but I‘m hoping you could jump into it when S2 starts. For more different reasons like traction for the channel etc.

Moe

I’d be so stoked if you went with either Frieran or Steins;Gate honestly

Fadel saad

So many great anime to choose from I don't know what to vote for

Joao Roncetti

Many cool shows to choose! but I was lowkey hoping that cowboy bebop would be there lol

Madani

I love every show on the list! While i think it won't win, I'm glad that you put Orb in there, is one of the few modern anime that gives me Vinland Saga vibes. Hoping to see Ping Pong in a future poll with older shows.

Nexis

Aw man I like Frieren more but S;G might have better discussions this is gonna be toughhhhh

Sloopgamer

Have a similar issue with Frieren. I started the manga years ago dropped it and waited for the anime and the anime still couldn‘t convince me to like it sadly. Haven‘t finished it yet

David Salazar

Man Both Steins Gate and Frieren are soooo good. But I say Steins Gate. Also am I the only person that would say it's the only anime where the I prefer the englishdub??

Cole Barnes

Damn this is going to be a tough choice. My heart says to pick Frieren but I think you would eat up Orb. It’s so thought provoking

Moe

Absolutely no hate to dandandan or it’s fans but I hope that one doesn’t win 😵‍💫

Sloopgamer

Steins Gate eng dub is really good but certain dialogue translations suck there. But the voices are all 10/10

SwordAndSavior

Frieren. Would love to hear you talk about that show and its concept and how it works around them. Very heartfelt type of show.

Sloopgamer

Think he wants to watch that after finishing Eva which he is still doing kinda rn

KotBegemot

All good choices! Frieren will probably win but S;G will give it a fight. Dandadan is popular too and I heard a lot of good things about Orb, sounds like it's exactly up your alley. Heavenly Delusion looks like an outsider in this poll but we'll see. I'd wait for more anime content before reacting to it anyway. Personally I'd like to add Madoka Magica on the poll, one of the best short complete anime series of all time. It won't win the poll but it would put it on the map for future.

gggunit

steinsgate

Javier Ramírez

Dandadan is way too childish, I doubt you'll enjoy it. Where's Pluto? That's a perfect match for you. :P

Jeremy

Seeing everyone say Steins;Gate has my hopes up, I'd be willing to give Frieren a shot since I've heard good things butttt why don't we all just vote Steins;Gate pls :')

M

Yeah I don’t think the others are thinking on the discussion side. Frieren doesn’t have a lot to speculate/theorize about

Madani

Yeah, i think it would be better is Dandadan is reacted when cour 2 comes out.

Roland

Heavenly Delusion or Steins;Gate. Anything but Frieren imo

Brian Quill

There’s 0 chance it wins, but Orb would be a perfect fit with you as a reactor.

Slaaverin

I loooove Frieren 💜 it would be a good change and I would love to hear your thoughts about it 🥰

Jak

Still believing in Steins Gate...

KotBegemot

I like S;G Dub, dialogue is normies-friendly, very well adapted and has a good flow. But for Im I think it's Sub and only Sub.

Sheru

Frieren

C&C

Somehow i haven't seen SteinsGate yet, but i'd enjoy watching along with you for the first time! Frieren would be good too of course! Others ones i think you would enjoy are March comes in like a Lion, and Madoka too

Trebor

All great options. If I had to vote, I would probably choose Frieren. However, most of the anime I'm eager for you to watch remain on your list on your 'about' page. Also unrelated to anime, but have you watched Mr. Robot already? Because that's one I'd definitely recommend for you.

Helix

I liked steins gate a ton, but I think Orb would be a bit more up your alley. Like others said, March comes in like a Lion and Madoka Magical would be really good choices. If you want something newer, I highly recommend sonny boy from 2021, very beautiful and thought provoking anime.

TK

steins gate

litix12

I'm hyped for Frieren, Stein's gate and Dandadan all are great anime.

Sarah S

Oh I’m voting for the funny option. Dandadan would be legendary

SwordAndSavior

I think Im has a good balance of speculation and also just giving his thoughts and ideas about a particular show and the message its sending in general. Episode 135 or 136 of HxH where Diego is sitting in the back porch chilling in the chair. Frieren is full of "that" type of discussion which I really like from Im. He does it a bit there in that discussion but a full anime of it would be nice.

FILMBuFF

Stuff like Sonny Boy is definitely on my radar. It will be on a future poll for sure.

KotBegemot

'March Comes in like a Lion' is amazing, one of my favourite series for sure. All three Shaft Big 3 series (also Madoka and Monogatari) are in my Top. But it's 44 eps long already and not finished. I really hope Shaft will announce S3, they seem like they finally re-birthed, made new Monogatari season after 6 years and now new Madoka movie. Sangatsu deserves continuation as well.

Helix

Great to hear. Any of the ones you picked are great fun.

Reeko

Steins gate! Then frieren

FILMBuFF

Madoka Magica is not on my watchlist quite yet, so being on this specific poll for recent stuff was impossible.

Sarah S

Why not do a silly show? It could be a fun change of pace. And there’s still a lot production wise to admire

ertuひ

frieren, dandadan or steins gate also any plans on when u will be watching season 2 of arcane? sorry if i missed anything

Ryan Smith

Frieren or Orb! Both are amazing and would be great for your approach to reactions.

KotBegemot

Ah I see. Yeah, surprisingly it's not on your 'About' page, for some reason I thought it was. Well, consider it for future short anime polls. As you've probably seen I'm not the only one who would be excited to see it on this channel. There's definitely demand, it's not new but it has quite a loyal and engaging fanbase that's always on the look out for new reactions.

Helix

Problem is all their old staff went to David Production around 2019-2020, due to the absolutely horrible mismanagement of the company and it's poor staff. You can read up about shaft and their various problems on SakugaBlog.

Javier Ramírez

I could see him watching a silly show like JoJo's, it's just that DanDaDan is waaaay too childish.

Nessa.

Orb was made for you 🥹💕 such a beautiful and thought-provoking show like someone said in the comments. The best show from Fall 2024 in my opinion. I watched a couple of episodes yesterday and had to stop to gather my thoughts and keep myself together. The emotions, the themes, the ost, the lines… It will lose the poll for sure but I’m not too worried, I know you will react to it someday. I’m actually glad that you put it on your list and for that, I thank you a lot, Im. ✨

El Chupacabra06

Can't go wrong with Frieren, but man I think your discussions on Orb would be excellent

sometimes

Think I'll stand with Steins;Gate. Frieren is overhyped as hell imo, but maybe hype is something of a reason to check it too. Though as for the recent stuff, I would actually recommend "Dungeon Meshi". Recent, quite popular and fantasy. 24 episodes, made with soul both in studio and by author. Also insteresting how few people bringing up Madoka in the comments. The thing is, it's actually written by the same dude as Fate/Zero... not for anything :)

KotBegemot

Yeah, I didn't read about it in detail but I heard some things in passing. Tbh I thought Shaft is dead already but new Monogatari had amazing production, I think some of the old staff returned and new guys also picked up the mantle. Sometimes it seemed like they imitated good ol' Monogatari style but it was a good imitation. New Madoka seems intriguing as well.

nut

filmbuff x steins gate would be peak podcast time

Grimulkin

Feel like Steins Gate would have some GOATED discussions

Oak

If Steins;Gate wasn't here Frieren would be an easy pick for me, but Steins;Gate absolutely needs to happen. Not on this list, The Apothecary Diaries is airing it's second season right now and it has blown me away. I'd love to see it on a poll at some point.

tubbagoob

Frieren, Dandadan or heavenly delusion…how do I choose just one 😭

KotBegemot

I mean it's anime, it'a about teenagers. Lots of anime are silly and wacky on the surface, you just need to dig a bit deeper to see underlying themes. That being said, out of all those options Dandadan would probably be my last choice, competition is just that strong. I haven't see Orb yet though but I already anticipate it's gonna be one of my favourites once I get to it.

ElectricAnt

Damn, RIP Heavenly Delusion

Doyle McPoyle

Steins;Gate seems like the perfect fit for you. Pluto sounds like a must after monster, you'll be drawn to that Urasawa goodness.

ElusiveAmbition

My vote would have to go to Steins;Gate! I still remember reading the VN way back in 2016... back in my high school days.

Kingsglaive

damn, idk any of these shows. All i know is we'll be there no mather what for Fate/Zero or Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

Darceno

Very hard choice... but I'll go with Frieren. I of course want to see both Frieren and SG eventually, but I think Frieren first is better

Cyonated

freiren is definitely one to check out but Steins;Gate is a perfect fit for the channel

Indy Bruining

I would vote Frieren for sure. It's one of my favorite anime and it's made easier by me not knowing any of the other ones on the list ;)

rahka

Voting for Steins;Gate

Helix

what do you mean, it never got a season 2. it doesn't exist.

Goop

Steins;Gate is the GOAT

Ryan

I just checked your about page after seeing another comment mention it. Very surprised to see Girls Last Tour on your list. It’s one of my favorite pieces of media ever. Didn’t expect it to be on your radar. Don’t expect it’d win a poll though. Legend of the Galactic heroes would be fantastic as well. That said hoping Frieren or Steins wins this poll.

Jonathan baez

Good luck to every choice i dont have much interest im these choices so i will be watching from the side

David

STEINS GATE

C&C

Very harsh to say Frieren is overhyped. I just think it's style isn't really enjoyable for everyone. There are some people i wouldn't recommend Monogatari or Oregairu to, while i like both those shows SteinsGate would be better for discussions overall from what i've gathered tho

Project Mayhem

Steins Gate is a classic and works well with episodic discussions

Ben

Steins Gate should be good. I can’t stand Dandadan

Gucci Pucci

Yeah couldn’t watch it cause they use weird senseless names from my language idk kinda put me off

nabeel

will vote for steins;gate

86exe

I would love to see a Steins;Gate reaction it actually has a pretty good dub imo

Enzo Inquiries

I don't know if steins gate is your cup of tea, lot of jokes and stereotypes from the 2000's that didn't aged good imo. dandadan would be my vote, it's kinda of a breath of fresh air in the genre and the art direction is great

Kon

Honestly if you replaced Orb (haven't seen it) with Cyberpunk Edgerunners I wouldn't mind any of the choices winning. Steins;Gate definitively the most I'm excited. Dan Da Dan second and Frieren third. Heavenly Delusion is like a wildcard.

sometimes

I watched Monogotari and enjoyed it. Wouldn't recommend it to a lot of people too. I don't think style is the problem with Frieren, it's the filling. But going any further would be spoilers so whatever. I mean yeah, it may be like a 6/10 anime for me, but rank #1 by score on MAL? Comon bro.

FILMBuFF

I want to play the game before I watch Edgerunners. It’ll probably end up being four options in the end.

Madani

Yeah, is great but it has a lot of things that may look weird/out of place for someone who is not that deep in otaku culture.

Madani

Yeah, A reaction to Legend of the Galactic Herores from Filmbuff would be peak. But it would never win on a poll.

Goop

Oooh, would that playthrough be on the channel? 👀

FILMBuFF

Decided to hold off on releasing Arcane S2 until I have at least three episodes recorded and ready to go.

FILMBuFF

The Pluto omission is mentioned in the post. I think one Urasawa joint at a time is the way to go about it.

FILMBuFF

A thing to remember here is that this a replacement poll for a series that was essentially serving as a flagship title for a while, all of 2024 even. So I can’t go with niche options with this particular poll, that type of poll will come as well 👌🏼

Tnv Madhav

*brooding* interesting choices (i haven’t watched many of these)

brisk

Steins gate

Cyonated

at least for me i found dandadan to be having weird tones of unneeded indecency. put me off it a bit

Aflo

Frieren definitely, I hope heavenly delusion doesn’t win I don’t thinks it’s even a good anime in the first place especially following the titan that is hxh

Yinki

I'm surprised that Orb is the underrated choice here. I've watched all of them, Orb is still the first choice in my heart (I've read the manga and the adaptations). Maybe it's because of the subject matter, unpopular character choices, or the dialogue-based style that it will never become popular, but these also make a good work rare. The content will definitely be something you like. I really want to see it promoted to more people through people like you who know how to appreciate it...

Mykel

All the comments here making me wanna check out Orb lol. I enjoyed Freiren, it was nice. Steins gate I loved back in 2012, but I don't know how well it's aged

David Garcia Martinez

Frieren or Steins;Gate. Astonishingly different, but the best in their respective genres.

Palma

We gotta lock in Frieren bros, make sure you go vote. I do think it'd make a better watch than SG thb

nabeel

what makes you think that? I don’t know much about it. Why do people like it so much?

Palma

It’s a masterclass in storytelling. It scratched a unique itch I think Im would specifically really like, and i think a lot of viewers would agree

Eyal Goldberg

I think you will appreciate dandadan! It's so over the top and super entertaining, and full of amazing camera work and metaphoric meaning.
