Alright folks, here are the final four options!

The poll will run for two weeks, and the the first episode of the poll winner will be going up for early access on the same day as HXH 148 in March.

If either Frieren or Steins;Gate end up winning, I will eventually work towards making those releases twice a week, given the length.

Excited to see how this turns out.

Comments

Helix

Got the first vote in!

Aflo

I very much hope for frieren, but steins gate is a great one too. Heavenly delusion on the other hand… not a fan lol

Marlon

Steins;Gate heads.... GET IN HERE NOW

Grimulkin

Excited to see what wins, regardless I'm happy :)

Ryuma

frieren will probably win due to recency bias but pls keep steins gate on future polls. its a must watch imo.

Abdinur Hussein

I need him to react to Steins gate man, it’s right up his alley way

traydo0r

As much as I love Frieren, I'm voting for Steins Gate as it is a complete story, no losses either way though!

Slaaverin

Please vote frieren 😭 it's so heartwarming and would be a good switch up from hxh, steins;gate can always come afterwards.

Horizon xkuni

Cmon steins gate enjoyers 🙏🏼🙏🏼

KotBegemot

Whoa! I expected Steins;Gate to put up a fight but it's actually winning! Nice surprise. Frieren won't be going anywhere, Im can start it closer to Season 2 release.

TasteTheThunda

I'll be the lone Heavenly Delusion supporter in the comments, lol. Phenomenal show that I think fits your style perfectly. It obviously won't be winning here, but please keep it in mind for the future, especially since it's a shorter watch.

Sloopgamer

Voting for Steins Gate since the very early days and I'm super happy to see it finally win here

A Toilet Duck

Seen 3 out of these 4 and think all 3 are phenomenal! (Only heard great things about Orb, but can't claim to have seen it myself). That said, gotta go for Steins;Gate this time round, it's core anime heritage at this point, plus has the advantage of actually being finished, so we can get a full start-to-end watch, full package reaction. Loved Tengoku Daimakyou too, and Frieren season 1 has honestly been one of the most immersive and fulfilling shows I've seen in a long while when it came out, so, hope that these both get a watch soon enough!!!

>>165328631

Also, feel like Steins;Gate's been on that "to watch" list since the early days! Let's get this one over the line Steins;Gate gang!!

م -

I like Frieren and Steins;Gate .. but I'm leaning towards FRIEREN now and heavily because it's better to watch it with Monster. I find Steins;Gate and Monster to be tiring together, but Frieren and Monster provide a nice break and separation.

Kon

Isn't it pretty obvious who the winner is? it's the choice of Steins gate! We can always go back in time to fix the results if there is any divergence point.

Jonathan baez

Never heard of orb so im voting that

Sacha

Justice for Orb and Heavenly Delusion!!! Hopefully next time

Sarah S

No dandadan? Well then Frieren gets my vote

David Salazar

Omg Steins Gate is winning. So stoked

Luka
>>165340174

he said he won't react to it (like in real time) but he will do reviews of it

Luka

Steins;Gate in the lead? STOP THE COUNT

Surleaux

Unbelievably hard picks sheeeesh

Wolf Hunter

frieren is winning ground

rabid

I place all my faith into Orb, no matter the odds.

Jammeel Huwhet

we already had Dark in the channel, lets go Frieren or Orb guys

Slaaverin

Think about it folks, if there's monster and steins;gate it's two heavy shows and we're just walking out of hxh that's not a walk in the park either, it would be a lot! Please change your vote to Frieren! For a lighter switch up! For lm's mental health! For JOY. I'm begging you 😭 (I like both but I think it's more logical to go in that order)

Slaaverin

Those who voted for heavenly delusion and orb, please switch your votes, since they will obviously not be picked this time, change your votes to Frieren, if we gather your votes we could be toe to toe with steins;gate. Frieren is simply the better choice for right now. Please have some sense! And regroup behind Frieren! (moving like a politician here I know 😂) With you, we can WIN \o/

traydo0r
>>165434060

Yeah, it can be serious, but it's also lighthearted. I would even put/add a Comedy or Slice of life tag in its genre along imo

石原 悟

I haven't even heard of half the shows, and absolutely hate Steins Gate lol I heard Frieren is really good, but I'm skeptical. Even though it's not a "narou" anime, as it's based on manga, my taste differs from the public who went absolutely crazy over Freiren. I mean domestic (Japanese) audience. What to do lol

Isaac
>>165443137

Well, you've got to give us something. What DO you like? I have no idea what to sell you on

Jeremy
>>165443137

May I ask what makes you "absolutely hate" Steins;Gate? Like objectively speaking it's a pretty well executed time travel story. Many regard it to be one of the most congruent time travel stories out there.

Jeremy
>>165435335

On the alternative, if you decide to recast your vote, Steins;Gate is also right there ;)

Jeremy

With your help we can move forward together, toward an infinite future. As it the choice of Steins;Gate!

Horizon xkuni

Why is everyone acting like steins gate is all doom and gloom. its got lots of lighthearted moments, and great comedy bundled in.

FILMBuFF

Still quite a bit of time left in the poll, but at the moment it’s certainly looking like I might finally crack open that Steins;Gate blu-ray

Darceno
>>165534010

Though I voted for Frieren, I'm pretty excited for Steins;Gate. It's been in my watchlist forever, and now it's gonna be the second time-travel show I start watching with you👌

Kon
>>165534010

Steins;Gate 0 is also a thing in case you forgot. I feel like Frieren still deserves a spot on the channel very soon.

Leonard

Steins;Gate is right up your alley from what I can tell from all the discussions I have listened to over the years.

Scooby Doo
>>165435335

How is it the better choice? I dont think it fits the channel too well at this moment, at all. Frieren is really good and all but, ultimately, there isnt much to react to as of now. The more interesting themes of the Manga havent even been adapted yet. At the end of the day, people are here for the reactions and analysis of the shows. Steins;Gate is objectively the better choice in that regard.

Palma

There's been so much "dark" on the channel recently with shows, it'd be really nice to get his opinion to Frieren as a change of pace instead (no pun intended). SG could be watched another time, I really think we watch Frieren before S2 comes out. I'm also really biased lol, ever since finishing S1 I knew I was the most excited to watch him react to it. Specially for the kind of reactor he is, I really think Frieren would give a lot to chew on while still being lighthearted. It's right up his ally. Hoping it wins! OR MAYBE he blesses us and does both?? They're both short.. consider it Im!!

Palma

We gotta lock in Frieren bro's 🙏🏼tell your friends to vote LOL

Leo

Steins gate lets goo

David Nazaryan

I'm afraid that if you'll delay reading the HxH manga for a few months after the anime, it will be years before you'll return to it :c Just look at the poor End of Evangelion movie. I hope i am wrong haha

FILMBuFF
>>165570150

😁 that’s the spirit, there’s still 12 days, let’s see if it makes a comeback.

石原 悟
>>165443137

Isaac: I have been pushing for Legend of The Galactic Heroes for years now lol Sadly, it ain't happening anytime soon. The anime adaptation got 110 episodes. As for shows which Im has done, I like AoT, Vinland, HxH, Monster.

石原 悟
>>165443137

Jeremy: That's a tough question. I have no idea how to explain the problem to non-Japanese speakers. It's the language and the characters themselves. The cringe level is through the roof. Almost physically painful to listen to them speak. I plowed through 2 episodes and gave up. People say that once you get through the first 5 episodes, you're good. I just couldn't force myself. At the very least Japanese speakers understand my problem, and it's a pretty common one. The real problem is explaining that to people who only read subtitles, cuz translation takes away 90% of the cringe. Apart from certain someone having a textbook case of "8th grader syndrome", but again, it's received a bit differently overseas.

Yinki
>>165443137

Wow, I felt the same way, because of the promotion I managed to make it to the end, but the rewards weren't enough to offset the dislike -- yes, I think it's "8th grader syndrome"; perhaps you would be interested in Orb, too? lol

Masquerading Lunatic

Maybe I was too old when I watched Steins Gate, but it felt like something I may have enjoyed as a teenager. I really disliked it and the hype did it no favors. Given how Im felt about Death Note (and I agree with that take), I feel SG will end up on that same level. All that to say I'm voting for Frieren! There's not that much to speculate and theorize about, but boy is it fantastic. Especially the first half.

FILMBuFF
>>165630667

Oh we’re definitely looking at a bit more than a few months, it’s probably going to be a substantial break from HxH, after the Chimera Ant Arc Video. All of 2024 was only HXH vids on the channel, I want to get back to other stuff, and unfinished business. The situation with EVA and a few others was simply a time issue, unfortunately, It wasn’t out of choice. Here, it’s a choice I am making to take a break from it for a while, and now devote time to other stuff I’m interested in, there is so much to get to.

Kon
>>165668396

I've been watching Im for a loooong time now...Steins;Gate will NOT disappoint and the comparison to Death Note is honestly disrespectful. A bit overhyped but still a masterpiece. When I read comments like this I take is as you weren't able to emotionally connect with the characters. Or you didn't care enough for the events of the story and the way it unfolded.

Kon

Couple years ago Filmbuff asked for anime recommendations and these were my top 3 picks at the moment in that order. 1. Hunter x Hunter 2. Monster 3. Steins;Gate I genuinely stand by and believe that all of them are deserving S rank "special" for a reason. Why? Because they created moments that left an undeniable mark in my history of watching anime. Now S;G as of lately has come under attack by anime revitionists who love to put anything under microscope with progressive standards of 2025 for a visual novel that was released on 2009...moe, neet, and otaku culture where PART of the anime industry. I don't think there's any mistake Im enjoyed both HxH and Monster to the Nth degree. Steins;Gate is one for the books! arguably the weakest in terms of writing but top-notch story nonetheless. Phenomenal soundtracks from op/ed to sound design and original music. Unique animation and camera angles that have a very distinct look and feel unique to the series. Compact nit tight story telling with secrets, mystery, and drama to unfold on top of all the time travel shenanigans. There's no mistake. Steins;Gate WILL win and it's gonna be a ride.

Trebor
>>165668396

Steins Gate missed the mark for me as well; I felt it had a lot of potential but made several disappointing decisions along the way. I won't specify in case this reply is read by Im, but I share your opinion.

KotBegemot
>>165835240

Yeah it definitely depends on your familiarity and tolerance to otaku culture of the 00's. People who aren't familiar to it at all or on the contrary were familiar too well and grew out of it may despise it to the point they can't enjoy something like S;G at all. But if you're tolerant enough I think you most likely enjoy it or at least it won't bother you to the point that it outweighs all the positives. I think Im will enjoy it, there are enough merits to it even besides the story and characters. Directing, visuals and atmosphere that took a lot from Serial Experiments Lain for example. And just meta knowledge that it’s originally VN with like 40-50 hours of content makes me personally appreciate it a lot more how well it’s been adapted in a relatively short coherently constructed story. It’s not my absolute favourite but a solid 9/10 nonetheless.

Masquerading Lunatic
>>165668396

Yeah, I didn't like any of the characters. Made it very hard to watch/didn't care for the plot because of it. I saw some comments talking about how lack of knowledge about otaku culture might make it more challenging, but I am very familiar with otaku culture and played my fair share of VNs back in the day. Honestly, I probably would have really enjoyed it if I had played the VN 10-15 years ago, but it just doesn't hold up for me now.

GeorgeYTG
>>165668396

I think the main issue with Steins;Gate anime is that it tries to fit EVERYTHING from the visual novel. In the VN the story changes based on your choices, so you would expect the anime to only follow one path, but it instead tries to do multiple things at once and it ends up feeling like some choices were weird/forced. Anyway I loved both the VN and the anime and I think Im will too.

litix12
>>165630667

The longer you wait the higher the chance the anime returns. I will not lose hope. :P

Helix
>>165668396

Actually i think thats a way bigger issue in the sequel/prequel so much that it made it unwatchable for me

Bhavin Gupta

Hey Im, I've been following you since the past 3-4 years through yt & twitter. And now I'm really glad that I'm finally able to support the channel via patreon as well. About the choices, I recently had the opportunity to experience steins;gate. I definitely had some fun with it, but at times it can seem a bit predictable and not as engaging. I don't quite completely comprehend as what might qualify as a spoiler, so I'll refrain from going into any specifics here. Haven't watched Frieren, but it'll definitely bring a lot of viewers to the channel. I'm not against steins;gate though, I think it can still be a good series for the channel. Love to hear your thoughts on anything, really :)

Doodlez

I think Frieren is the better show to react to because its a bit diffrent then monster right now. I would say monster and steins gate give me the same wipe. But theres no problem watching steins gate either. For me steins gate is a 9/10 and Frieren a 10/10.

Jalen Robinson

Can’t believe steins gate is really leading over freiren smh. Really not in the same tier in terms of quality.

Federico Toxqui

Do Re: Zero!!!! It will break you on episode 15

litix12
>>166404873

Re: Zero would be amazing! Don't spoil episode numbers though :(

Rico
>>166287902

I agree Jalen, Frieren is quite overrated and Steins Gate is a classic.

hellios6

Easy win for Steins Gate. Let's go great show

Aflo

So close frieren 😩

litix12

It's closer than I thought it would be.

Trebor

Just a thought, but perhaps if the winner of this first poll fails to reach a majority of the votes, we should seek a runoff consisting of the top 2. This way we can hear the opinions of people who voted for Orb and Heavenly Delusion. Also, we much reach a 95% voter turnout and no anonymous votes:)

Jeremy
>>166797338

Be honest, you're only suggesting this so Frieren has another chance to win

Jeremy
>>166287902

You're right, Steins;Gate is several tiers above Frieren :)
