Mr. Skeletal army reporting in

Rhiannon

May the most popular show win! How's THAT for an uncontroversial comment!

You know, one day when Oregairu's on the poll, I will make thousands of accounts just to up vote it.

dont really like kill la kill that much but overlord bores me to tears there is what two 2 cour seasons of that? pass

Swaybez

Overlord please, Kill la Kill is just Fan service & over the top concept. Plain silly

Travis Saar

Overlord is good but Kill La Kill is easily one of the best anime of the past decade and if Overlord wins it shows how strong recency bias really is.

Spikà

ALL HAIL AINZ OOAL GOWN!

Ezutess

We have enough overload reactions on youtube. Would be nice to see Kill la Kill

King Black

I hope Kill la Kill wins

Life Legacy

ALL HAIL AINZ SAMA‼️‼️‼️

Travis Saar

For those who haven't seen/aren't interested in either show Kill La Kill is only 24 eps while Overlord is 39 (with potentially more to come)

Smol

Overlord is pretty fun in a wish fulfillment guilty pleasure kind of way, but Kill la Kill is, despite its silly premise, much more of a serious type of show that feels like it has characters you can care about and with themes that actually seem to go somewhere and resonate with you long after the show ends.

Shadowcam

I like both, but I vote KLK; it's one of the iconic anime of this decade.

Victor Vilela

Personally I only find S1 of Overlord to be worth watching. The series seems to get dumber and more trashy-isekai the more seasons it goes for. On the other hand, Kill la Kill is a flagship Trigger anime, renown for animation, action, comedy, and crazy story.

uwu owo

you can still vote for both things, that shouldnt be a thing in the finals

GenericSideCharacter

Voting for Overlord counts as losing your way. Make sure you choose correctly.

2026-09-10 00:00 Kill la kill will likely lose but I really hope it gets watched eventually if it does lose. Everyone is watching overlord rn but not many are watching klk these days
2018-08-26 22:56

Spikà

It doesn't really matter, voting for both is the same as voting for none of them.

Alex H

Overlord was already winning why is there a need to drag it out

Rhiannon

Okay the comments promoting Kill la Kill won me over, I switched from Overlord.

Sword Saint

Because Overlord is a show about already being so stupid powerful that you just need to put a little effort in to win everything, while Kill la Kill is about rising up against obstacles larger than yourself and pulling ahead through willpower, courage, and comradery. It's a pretty meta poll when you think about it.

Dedotated Wam

Kill la Kill would literally make my day if it won

Feel Z. Crux

Come on Overlord you're in the last stretch!

Evan Mayes

Both of these anime's are good. So either way i believe that Caleb and Jacob will enjoy. But I really don't feel like watching them react to kill la kill. I believe that there can be some really great discussions from Caleb and Jacob regarding Overlord. Of course this is my opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. let the Patron's decide

Alex H

I dont have stakes in the poll both are gonna be a new watch, just think its redundant. Im voting for klk regardless but still.

Sword Saint

They both have over the top concepts, but Kill la Kill goes in the direction of actually tying all the threads and loose ends (ha) together into something cohesive that makes everything more epic as time goes on, whereas Overlord just sort of gives more of the same with a side order of the main character getting less likeable as time goes on by nature of losing his humanity.

Travis Saar

I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack constantly refreshing this poll

Evan Mayes

Don't forget people who voted for the other anime's may not want to watch overlord and choose Kill la Kill so either one can still win in the end.

E. Rose

I like both series but voted for Kill la Kill for a good reason. It’s over. There is a clear remarking line of when it will end. Overlord is 3 seasons minimum and may continue past it.

Brit

Vote KLK to see their reaction to it's godlike music.

Stew1337

Think about it, Kill La Kill has such a variety of crazy weird situations for Jacob and Caleb to react to, most of Overlord would just be "yo thats cool" and that's it.

Dedotated Wam

After you see the first season, which I enjoyed, there's really not much more to talk about, and the MC plus the show in general continually gets worse

Stew1337

Vote Kill la Kill for the JoJo references

somesyl

While I'm not a big fan of either series, Kill la Kill should provide the better reactions with it's balls to the wall insanity per minute rather than Overlords pace of "lets spend 3-5 episodes on setup before having an anti-climax because nothing can ever threaten our protagonists"

Stew1337

Kill la Kill is the embodiment of Studio Trigger, we NEED it to happen.

Sword Saint

Yeah I'm familiar with both series and watch all the new episodes of Overlord so I'll be happy either way but I do learn towards KlK in part because Overlord is an ongoing series that has had and will continue to have plenty of reactors while Kill la Kill is a gem from before the real rise of reaction channels and so has very little relative expose in this way.

Omar

I voted Overlord because I thought it was really good....but if KLK wins then it will be one of those animes I'd never watch by myself but would give it a chance by watching it as they react to it...so win win

Dedotated Wam

I don't really want them to get caught up watching a currently airing series. Best to see if its good before they watch it. So far its only gone downhill since S1

Dedotated Wam

If you're gonna try to use the power of memes to win you should know KLK has JoJo memes on its side

Sword Saint

Yeah, it's a self contained story with all loose ends wrapped up. There's no risk that any part of the story thats been teased or left open for later will go unanswered because the novel or anime gets cancelled, you're guaranteed to experience the complete vision of the writers. It also doesn't tie you down with the expectation that you're going to be watching the new season every year until its done, so it's less of a 'slot hog' for these guys than Overlord would be.

Feel Z. Crux

Fan of KLK myself and I don't really believe they'd enjoy it as much as they would Overlord, with Overlord being inspired by DnD and having elements of it along with the lore and various plannings made. It gets even better when you read the Light Novel.

Feel Z. Crux

That's subjective though? You may think that but there's no guarentee they will o:

Dedotated Wam

It comes down to the world and the protagonist for me. Overlord has great world building but the world is kinda boring. The protagonist gets like half a season of setup only to destroy everything because he's the best, where the MC in KLK struggles more, and looks cooler IMO

cinna

Quite. Interesting stuff happens in all the arcs, but some people value certain "stuff" over other "stuff".

Sword Saint

The protagonist also gets left offscreen for long stretches at a time as other shit in the world happens, sometimes involving his minions and sometimes not. You get all this buildup but then all of that investment goes on hold regularly. It's a bit hard to enjoy a show that's main draw is the power fantasy when you just ditch that self insert power fantasy character for episodes at a time to focus on the mating habits of white lizards or whether one of his butlers is going to get laid.

Karu

I'm voting for the SUPREME AINZ-SAMA, that rules the Great Tomb of Nazarick. I've only watched an episode of klk, so not gonna hate on it as it's not fair to hate on something you don't fully know, but I'm fully caught up on the overlord anime and I'm really enjoying it. Either way I'll watch what they react to, but my vote still lies with Overlord!

Sword Saint

Right, but from the perspective of the fans of Overlord who started watching the first season and got interested because of certain 'stuff' that they really enjoyed, the next two seasons can feel like a bait and switch as it focuses almost entirely on other 'stuff' which may be more interesting to other fans who started watching after hearing about it. Plenty of episodes on crunchyroll are just people saying asking others who have read the novels how many episodes they should stop watching for until the show gets back to shit they care about.

Feel Z. Crux

I'm hoping I'll be able to reach them either through discord or a mod with the suggestion that read the light novel along with watching the anime, taking a break after finishing an arc to finish the light novel's version of the same arc. That way they'll possibly be able to appreciate the characters and arcs more, seeing how the LN goes into deeper detail than the anime which skims details thanks to pacing.

itzhectic

If they love Gurren Lagann i think they'll really enjoy KLK its like the female equivalent lol

cinna

Neat idea, but it honestly will never happen that way.

Dieza Rattman

Ye, I don't think they would go with that. They're not gonna halt reactions in-between arcs/seasons to catch up on the LN, nor are they going to force themselves to read the LN in-time for the reactions. If anything, suggest that the LNs are great and add a lot more details and scenes to the story.

Dedotated Wam

Gonna listen to Blumenkranz while refreshing the poll, this is gonna be one dramatic battle

Canadian_Caesar

Voted Kill la Kill this round, since I figured it would be a more stable and consistent experience than Overlord. IMO, Overlord as a series has many highs, but also many lows, and its highs never really reach the level that Kill la Kill’s do. Furthermore, Kill la Kill's only mediocre at its worst moments, whilst some moments of Overlord bored me to death (I'm looking at you, lizard man arc.) Not to mention that Kill la Kill is far shorter, so I might have a chance to see Food Wars on another poll in ~6 months time. And finally, JoJo memes.

Thilde

Overlord is overrated imo.

Galorian

The Supreme Being is the superior choice, vote Overlord for the glory of Ainz Ooal Gown! Ainz-sama banzai!

Kure

I voted Overlord, the LN is much better but I'd still put it miles above KLK. I dropped KLK super quickly, getting through the episodes felt like a chore and I don’t recall particularly liking ANY of the characters. (no flame pls) Overlord puts a good emphasis on their world building, showing the perspective of other organisations and individuals to see how they react to a godlike being getting dropped in their world. Moreover, I find it great to see Ainz interact with those in Nazarick, desperately trying to maintain his facade of being a powerful and competent leader, despite feeling like anything but, thus leading to comedic moments. A few reasons off the top of my head as to why you should vote for Overlord: -You’ll get to see arrogant assholes get put in their place. -An MC who values his comrades above all, who’s willing to slaughter his enemies without mercy if benefits his comrades. -No bullshit power of friendship, where you’ll get stronger just because your friends are in trouble. -Good worldbuilding, you’ll get to explore the new world in which Ainz finds himself in. -Tons of characters, you’ll definitely find someone you like. -Cool RPG-esque story, giving the bros plenty that they’re familiar with to talk about, given their love for dnd. -Sasuga Ainz-Sama Disclaimer: I'm intentionally neglecting to mention Overlords faults; I’m trying to promote it after all! Anyway, if any of the above sounded interesting to you then vote Overlord!

Feel Z. Crux

Tbh, Kill La Kill vs Overlord is just Hype Fanservice Fights and Clothes Powers vs. A Well Written and Planned Out DnD Campaign

Jo

Yeah... no idea why people are voting for KLK... maybe they just want to see their disgust from a 100% fanservice anime lol...

Feel Z. Crux

Aye there really isn't any point behind it. Ah well, lot can happen in 3 days for a poll

Absent1

It isn't about whether or not Overlord wins this poll too. It is the principal of the thing. What is the point of a poll if you are just going to have a re-poll when you don't get the "right" result? I honestly wish I had voted for KLK now, so I could change my vote to Overlord out of protest.

Ace101Mega

LET GO KLK LET GO "CLAP""CLAP""CLAP"LETS GO KLK LETS GO

Ezutess

If you read the description that came with the original poll, you would have known that the top two shows out of that poll would have a run off...

RainbowDragoon

Huh? They announced from the beginning that that was how it worked. The two shows with the most votes would get into one final poll, and the one with the most votes there would then win.

Ace101Mega

if u want some overlord hype go read the LN if u want some epic fights and a great anime to watch go with KLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ace101Mega

overlord is predictable when it come to fights u know who gonna win so just go read the LN while KLK bring u to a journey u never expecting to go on.

Dedotated Wam

Not with as much as I'm seeing people who don't even know what its about. Its rated as high as it deserves

Dedotated Wam

Yeah but its boring. There is never any threat to the main cast, its a power fantasy and that's okay, its just not that interesting

Dedotated Wam

The fanservice in overlord is degrading and unwanted. The nudity in KLK is plot centric and empowering to the main cast, its so good and people agree that its good

Dedotated Wam

You can't care about a well crafted world or a party of characters if the only drama in the show is purely contrived and exists only to advance the timeline. Madhouse makes it interesting for a while but its got little substance

Kure

I can't give a more in-depth rebuttal because spoilers, but not all stories require the protagonist to continuously be in a life or death situation to be interesting. Not to mention I'm guessing that there's tons of characters that have more screen time than what you consider the main cast that are under very real threats.

Dedotated Wam

Equally idk why people would vote overlord when its the most popular show on the internet anime community right now. There's no shortage of overlord commentaries. KlK means a lot to people, me included and we want to share that experience with them

Sword Saint

At least your honest about not actually knowing much about KlK. If you haven't watched more than a handful of episodes, you only really know enough about any series to know that it isn't yet to your taste.. and depending on the series that may not even be accurate since some masterpieces like Steins;Gate are famously slow starters.

cinna

Impressive, +300 votes in two hours. Good thing skeletons never tire.

Feel Z. Crux

I don't really think that's a good reason though? Sure Overlord is popular but should that really be a reason for them to not react to it? I'd rather they watch something I know they'll have fun with. Also the people watching Overlord also wants to be able to share certain moments with them, any person voting for a anime for them to react to wants that, doesn't make Kill La Kill any more important than any other anime.

Feel Z. Crux

As for the whole fan service bit, it being plot relevant doesn't change the fact that it's just fanservice lol

Sword Saint

I'm a fan of both, and KlK is miles more coherently and tightly written than Overlord is with very little that doesn't have some significant themes or connection to the main plot or characterization going on. Yes, even the fanservice which it is actually a spoiler to get into describing why its in there since its revealed to be a central part of the plot after you get past the start of series. Meanwhile in Overlord you have what amounts to outright fanservice pandering that serves no purpose to the plot and has minimal effects on character development if it has any reason to exist at all.

Sword Saint

Being plot relevant does actually mean that its more than 'just fanservice'. That's how the english language works. If two shows both show attractive looking women puling out a breast to show someone, but in the first show its because she's showing that she lost her breast to cancer and this is a false boob that has a container in it where she is storing some plot relevant thing for safe keeping... while kind of silly that still would make it more than 'just fanservice' like it would be in the second show if the second show had nothing else going on but 'man thats hot isnt it'.

Feel Z. Crux

Fanservice in Kill La Kill is still just fanservice, it being apart of the plot doesn't change that XD Same goes for Overlord, though saying that most of the fanservice is meaningless is sorts silly. It can be a Dark Story. Two characters literally can't help it because its apart of who they are, one character has to overcome it to live with the person they love, and in the first episode it happened because it was important to see if their hypothesis was correct. I can't go into spoiler territory but you seem sort of biased o:

Loro Lukic

Isn't Kill la Kill the one with the main character transforming with her tits always out? Well I guess if it won I have an excuse to watch it through their reactions. "Haha it has JoJo references how hilarious"

Sword Saint

There's like one scene in Kill la Kill where any character could be considered nude, and its at the very end in one of those 'naked and pure' spiritual sort of things thats popular in eastern media.

SuperTallBird

Voted Overlord, because they will actually like it.

Loro Lukic

It's not about winning it's about dominating. Every shonen is predictable, the main character wins in the end. You don't watch overlord for the fights

Sword Saint

I'm familiar with and a fan of both series. I don't need or want your 'spoilers' that I've already taken into account. By the way, calling someone biased is a weak argument that means less than nothing if your definition of biased is 'has a different opinion than me'. x. fucking. d.

Dylan Hopson

People always assume that nudity in fiction is meant to arouse, and thus detracts from the narrative. In this show the "plot" IS the plot, and its genius how they sell it to the viewer. Characters getting naked is seen as a symbol of empowerment and pride.

Dylan Hopson

Well they LOVE Gurren Lagan so there's much more resin to believe they'd love KLK. It's a genius show

Ace101Mega

i'm 50/50 on you cause ya i like both overlord and klk but klk has a good story , epic fights and character that are silly ,great and all around insane but if its was KLK vs Log horizon than we have a great poll

Ace101Mega

KLK is original compare to Overlord which come from a LN and is lower than Log horizon

Feel Z. Crux

Just calling how I see it, all I really see from you is mostly a smear campaign against Overlord. I saw you do watch the new episodes and would be happy if either won, but then only praise you've sung was towards Kill La Kill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean fuck I'm biased towards Overlord thanks to the Light Novel and Kill La Kill's a good watch which has like I said HYPE FIGHTS, but I'm gonna lean towards more promoting what I want to win over comparing it to and calling the opposition trash. Any shit talk I give Kill La Kill is just me bring the lesser person and lowering to the level of the people focusing on shit talking Overlord. But hey, I'm just a faceless internet person hoping they'll enjoy whatever choice wins, doesn't mean I'm not gonna support what I think they'll enjoy more though ;3

Ace101Mega

yes finally someone understand it and says it jesus man i mean come on its a original anime u need to think off the most insane ideas to come up with this type of stuff . give props to Studio trigger

Dylan Hopson

Same team and similar themes as Gurren Lagann. That's all the reason they need.

Dylan Hopson

If they've played a DnD campaign then they've already seen Overlord. I get that's why fans want them to watch it,.but that just proves how basic it is, that the most base fantasy narrative that exists is the closest thing you can relate it to. You can't relate Kill la Kill to ANYTHING unless its another show by the same team

Sword Saint

You do you. I haven't smeared Overlord anywhere in this thread. I've repeatedly stated that I watch both and would recommend both, but just because both meet the standards for what I'd spend time watching doesn't mean they are equal in my eyes or anyone elses. I'm not the one who opened up with a statement that infers that KlK is poorly written. Stating facts about the series length, pacing, and its power fantasy nature is not me calling it trash. The greatest masterpieces that exist still have flaws. People only have so much energy and time to spare, and I don't owe anyone an equal amount of effort to be put into discussing both series.

Ace101Mega

true don't know why he comparing KLK to a Shounen hahaha thats why KLK is better cause its not so predictable

Dylan Hopson

That literally changes everything. You are supposed to look at the characters feeling awkward because that's how the power system works, and the fact that it doesn't take away from the show and instead adds to it says volumes about its quality and creativity

RandomThorn

Battle of the overhype! I like both shows but I always see them praised more than they probably should be. Kill la Kill is a fun fighting anime but other than the cool fight scenes it doesn't have much else to offer (Also fanservice is fanservice, yes they make it represent something in the anime but in the end of the day it's still for views). Overlord builds a fantasy world that is interesting but not overly unique, what really sells it is the point of view being from the OP end bosses of a MMO. It certainly has some issues with what it try's to focus on, nobody cares about the lizards, no body cares about the goblins, yet they spend multiple episodes on them. I ended up going for Overlord because I feel it would create better discussion instead of 'wow that was a cool fight scene'. I realize Kill la Kill isn't just fight scenes but understand that it is a good chunk of it and I'm more interested in world-building discussion rather than talking about how well made the fight scene was.

Sadovari

I disagree, KLK is just super power anime, friendship, fan service. You can boil almost any anime down to its base components, that doesn't represent what they actually are.

Fujishiro

pleaaase overlord win pleaaase! its so good and they woud love it!

Feel Z. Crux

And you do you-er. Though I didn't open with infering it being poorly written? Me saying Overlord is well written doesn't mean I don't think Kill La Kill isn't. It had plenty of emotional and inspiring moments for me, but it also had some weak moments as well. Same goes for Overlord. And I'll agree with you on the aspect that the greatest masterpiece, though with the future being a factor nothing will truly ever be "the greatest," has its flaws. As for what you call facts, which I will agree to some like the pacing, can be considered subjective like how I see the fanservice in KLK just being fanservice and you doing the same with Overlord. And you know maybe I'm just shit at telling trash talk from stating facts, maybe it's bias, maybe it's my own social problems, ah well problems be problems. Also never asked for your energy or a argument, though I did get rather defensive for no real reason, I was just asking stating how I saw both Overlord and Kill La Kill.

zeid c

they arent interested and why would it be on a poll lmfao

Feel Z. Crux

B-But...Lizard [Redacted] ; - ; Good points though~! Love Bone Daddy but the pacing and skipped details from the Light Novel irks me, I love Ryokokokoko but the fanservice and power system makes it hard for me to take the story seriously

terminus exterminus

on that note overlord should have more discussion potential tho. That's what im torn. I feel the bros will have a lot more discussion with the world (DnD), but KLK will have a more fun reaction.

WhiskeyVector

Meanwhile, the Bros laugh with sadistic pleasure of the inevitable carnage that was bound to occur as a result of this poll creation... Overlord, take my energy! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*

Dane

I feel like in the near future the loser of this poll will get reacted to anyways XD

Zdxxxxxx

hope one day u can reacted to Oregairu

BrainBurns

This is our chance to see a good Kill la kill reaction.

Nox

Well, they already wear the drills from Gurren Lagann, guess they'll know what they're getting into with KLK

Jacob

OK. I do like Overlord. It's a very interesting isekai anime/novel. A main Character being a evil skeleton and a villain(to the human)? That is somthing you call awesome. But to be honest, the animation from madhouse isn't very good. Actually the frist season was made with low budget and it was an unexpectedly huge success. And as everybody knows huge success means a new season. But season 2 wasn't very good as expected. It still had it's low budget quality animation as season 1, skip important Psychological description, bad battle scene and direction, failed Volume control(seriously! why did they give the lizardman part 4+α episode? it only had to had 2 episode). What I'm trying to say is that I really like Overlord. I read the novel when it first came out. I do want the sos bros to watch it too. But to compare with KIL? I don't think so. I won't talk how much KLK is a cool, fun, awsom anime. You should see for yourself. And KLK has only 25 episode. Overlord can have a next time.

Gringo

damn it, didn't know KLK had so many fans.. hm :'(

SuperTallBird

Kill la Kill has been consistently 30 votes ahead for the past 8 hours, if anybody wants to spend 40$, they can put Overlord in a good place.

If you want a good Plot watch overlord If you want good animated but weird fights watch KLK For me without a doubt Plot >>>>>>>>>> Fights

And you think wearing a talking sailor school uniform and transform to fight and find out the murderer of her father isn't a intersting Plot? hum....

LETS GO PATREONS LETS GO VOTE FOR KLK LETS GO

SpudCaleb

Why'd you have to do a second poll..? Now all the FanService people have united against an actual good story... I'm not so sure Caleb & Jacob are the kind of people who appreciate ecchi shows. ( T_T)

Eric Jernberg

DON’T LOSE YOUR WAY GUYS LET’S VOTE KILL LA FUCKING KILL

Lærke

Overlord is a bit like DnD right?

Ace101Mega

YEA BOI DON'T LOSE YOUR WA JUST VOTE FOR KILL LA KILL , EVERYONE LETS VOTE KILL LA KILL

thomas McBride

You do realize that Overlord's first episode has a 30 seconds breast fondling scene, right? They loved Gurren Lagann, so they'll most likely enjoy Kill la Kill.

Ace101Mega

kill la kill overall more popular lets go klk

SpudCaleb

I don't think Caleb&Jacob will appreciate the kinky school girl fights very much since they're not big ecchi fans, besides, I found the KLK plot to be very bland

Zacke

That is litteraly the only time they do something like that...

Minashiro Soushi

Stop spamming comments with nothing but hype, please. I’m actually reading them and it’s really annoying.

Zacke

Ace: You are being hella annoying, please stop.

Yuion

Well, SAO was very popular as well. Popularity doesnt say anything. Overlord is well written and has great worldbuilding and a decent plot KLK has nice fights and some good comedy but thats it. The plot is bs and the villain a joke. Also the fanservice is really annoying. Yes Overlord has that too, but really only rarely. Fanservice moments are only with albedo and since she is maybe 5-10% in the show at all that doesnt really matter

Minashiro Soushi

If you haven’t seen either, I’d recommend Overlord. Klk has pretty unique and distinctive artstyle, great animation and soundtrack. But it misses plot, character depth and world building. Also, excessive fan service might be a problem for some people, so be advised.

Zacke

Yeah it triggers me so much people here in the comments are saying the story in KLK is good. I mean I enjoyed the show alot but it has almost no plot worth mentioning and the reactions will be only good during the episode, what will they talk about after...?

Feel Z. Crux

@Ace The Poll only just started though, there's two whole days left for people to vote, lot can happen just like it did during the prelim ;3

Feel Z. Crux

Luckily there's 2 days left in the poll! Anything can happen at this point like it did with the prelim, so let's give our evil hope for Bone Daddy~!

Feel Z. Crux

I've seen and love both, but Overlord definitely beats Kill La Kill in my book. To me it's the better choice for them considering the world building, mystery behind the main plot, lore, power scaling, and multiple DnD references. It become even better if you read the Light Novel as well

Jacob

It's not about the ecchi. It's about the Characters, the style, art and drama. And you say the plot is bland. Yes you could feel thant way. But it's because it use cliches and use it wise. Many shounen manga plot could be flat and bland, KLK is the same. Transfer student, finding the family murderer, trasform fight, ecchi, swords and countless. Also KLK has a lots of parody and hommage and a bunch of 70 ~ 80s Japan reference. You can feel the animators, scriptwriter and Trigger's Passion. I'm keep saying, but I really like Overlord. But if I have to pick one anime? No doubt. KLK(if I includ the Overlord novel, it could win)

Feel Z. Crux

I mean shit I never once consider trying DnD or Pathfinder until I started reading and watching Overlord, I'm sure it'll tickle the DnD player that composes 65% of their bodies!

Yuion

ikr? fuckin annoying. make 1 top level comment and comment on other comments. Its not that hard

Erik

Wouldn't mind either of them. Overlord first good attempt at a Isekai and Kill la Kill is easily the best "this is not fanservice" anime.

Feel Z. Crux

This comment deserves some Bone and Thread brand praise. Give this man a Skele-head and a pair of scissors!

Feel Z. Crux

Yep! The creator is a hardcore DnD player and came up with and started writing Overlord after his friends became too busy and overloaded with work to play with him :,3

SpudCaleb

Yes, the entire story was inspired from that concept. The Author wrote the story in resemblance to Table-Top-RPG's (like D&D), because his D&D group disbanded due to lack of time to spare, thus he wrote a story resembling his frustration in the form of the MC. It's an amazing story with great world building and unique characters, it has heavy discussion potential, and where most people lose interested in the show I believe SoS Bro's will be able to actually understand the value of multiple-perspectives and side-character development

SAL

Sad that Food Wars didn't make it to final poll, but it's okay because these two are great as well. Time to vote for Bone Daddy

Zacke

Wow he even changed name to just Ace to hide himself abit I'm guessing... Luckily there is an edit comment button :p

Nico Sun

I'l vote for Overlord all day, i think it fits the best

Ace101Mega

make it shorter but hey i done spamming now , but there still tmr hehehehe

Ace101Mega

Kill La Kill is one of those rare anime where you never know what gonna happen which makes a great anime and has a main where it all started at the bottom . While Overlord is one of those where we can predict ahead and has a OP main

Except KLK had plenty of predictable moments? Besides they may or may not find certain things predictable and even if they do that doesn't mean it'll lessen their enjoyment of that moment.

Ace101Mega

the more predictable it is the less reaction there will be , u may enjoy yes but the surprising part of the anime is always the best part like all the other anime.

Liam Vickers

what about the haikyuu reaction. they knew karasuno would win but the reaction was still great

Dylan Hopson

Kill la Kill is not ecchi. Nudity is not fanservice,and its not ecchi. Nudity = pride and empowerment in KLK and it has a great story and characters

Dylan Hopson

It's not ecchi. Also its not bland you are just looking for different things in a story. I like stories that amaze me and show me stuff I haven't seen before

Dylan Hopson

You dont think that miiiiiight be for a reason? Like maybe peoples love for KLK didn't just fall out of the fucking sky?

Dylan Hopson

You are actual scum,you know that right? You guys are literally discussing how to cheat people out of what the MAJORITY are voting for! You are actual human garbage

Dylan Hopson

You both are literal human garbage. Just wanted to let you know. Babies can't accept when things can't go their way so they wannna cheat

Dylan Hopson

Then stop taking it seriously. It's that simple. You'll have more fun that way too. This isn't a story/drama poll this is literally just a poll for what we want them to watch. Imo there is nothing redeeming about Overlord but its just my opinion

Yuion

me too... Except your lie in april, though im not really looking forward to those episodes. I just watch them as soon as they come out

Razzlion

Keep it civil in the comments guys xD We get heated in our love of the animuus, but please stay calm! As long as overlord wins its all good :*

RSPGMS

Go Go Kill La Kill

Dedotated Wam

Yes, exactly like you're doing at this moment. You cannot boil KLK down into something simple, its already done that. It is the most pure concentrated essence of creativity you can get

Dedotated Wam

If you think KLK is evil or trashy, I'm sorry but you must be the most brainwashed individual I've ever seen. Just let go of your anger and enjoy yourself dude, its fun

Dedotated Wam

Yeah please disregard these guys. Overlord is alright but they are just trying to twist the outcome by shitting on KLK. Its story is incredible and unique. I can't say for sure if your cup of tea but its awesome for sure. If you like FLCL or TTGL KLK has the best of both

Dedotated Wam

Dude you ought to be banned for toxic behavior. You won't allow a single good thing to be said about KLK

Ace101Mega

Kill la Kill hype is back hahaha

Dedotated Wam

Ragyo is a much better villain than Ainz. Sorry for me its characters > Self insert power fantasy wish fulfillment non character

Dedotated Wam

No? KLK is straight quality on every level. Anyone who knows anything about anime history or anime culture knows that KLK is legend status

Ace101Mega

we KLK fan will nvr stop we have been revive we are KLK FANS we slept since 2014 but now the hype is backand we will rise

Philippe C

Mmm Hard Choices >< But I vote for Overlord ^^

Dedotated Wam

As long as Overlord fans won't quit being salty as fuck and constantly trying to slander KLK we're not gonna stop drowning out those comments. Vote and leave people

Dedotated Wam

There isn't a single reaction series for KLK on Youtube, its still really niche so we want it to get the respect it deserves

Razzlion

Maybe its just you guys that like it? Maybe there is a reason why no one bothers to do a reaction show to it!?! Its most likely just copyright harassment to be fair 🤔 KLK was pretty good from what i watched. Still want overlord tho 👌

Razzlion

Dude the salt is heavy on both fronts 😂 the amount of salty bois when Overlord beat KLK in the first poll round was insane. Were all spoiled salty bois on the inside.

Ace101Mega

there was a reaction for klk back when it was aired but now since the bros have not watch it it time to bring it back . beside overlord still new can go watch other reactor .

Aurora

Pls overlord

Reverend357

come on servants of the supreme being, vote for your beloved overlord....

Dylan Hopson

People acting like You must have a least this IQ to understand Overlord,2deep4u. Yeah well what if I don't want a deep anime? Caleb is gonna be scarred for life after Berserk so why not give them something that's pure fun?

Ace101Mega

we KLK FANS NEVER LOSE OUR WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheCandyMan36

First Violet Evergarden now KLK? Faith in this fanbase increasing. :D

Yuion

Never was about depth or something like that Its about Overlord vs KLK Good Story vs Bad Story Bad Animation vs Good animation Interesting Characters vs uninteresting Characters decent comedy vs decent comedy Seriousnes vs Fanservice Lord of the edge, Ainz Ooal Gown vs A half naked wannabe edgy shonengirl Calm minded MC vs Annoying always screaming MC (winks at Black Clover) Great cast of sidecharacters vs unnecessary sidecharacters Badassness vs Sexapeal Great worldbuilding vs literally no worldbuilding besides the school A show you can take seriously vs a show which basic premise ("cloth are sin") is not in the least interesting at all

Krysis

Albedo fanboys unite!

Razzlion

Yeah, for sure. I think its quite clear what the we want haha xD

Yuion

Im not even sure they read anything here to avoid spoilers

Ace101Mega

we need a fresh o;d school anime , there where KLK come . great story , comedy , character and most of all OG anime

Yuion

Dude stop it. You can argue anything but you cant tell me KLK has a good story because it has not. Story is mediocre at best Only pros of KLK are the fights and comedy. Thats it

Ace101Mega

And you cant argue that Ain is a bit OP like a certain black hair swordsman "wink" but evil , jus that one is pay to win the other beta tester

Yuion

Its not the fact that kirito was OP in the game that made the show bad. He was a betatester and had more experience and knew where to go from the start. That point isnt even that bad and unrealistic There are a ton of other aspects, starting with his completely useless and unnecessary harem, going over the fact that he hacked the game to extract an annoying AI loli instead of giving the people the ability to log out, to the fact that he had no character at all. He was just plain op without anything likable

Ace101Mega

top comment will stay KLK

Ace101Mega

in the anime kirito still prefer to be with asuna so..... harem ? the character are ok and the AI is cute like wtf man

GenericSideCharacter

I’d like to apologize on behalf of the other Kill la Kill voters. Not all of us agree with the ludicrous amount of spamming.

Yuion

I appreciate it. Though I think its only Ace thats spaming

AardBard

Ace, Chill. I daresay you could lose KLK some votes if you get spammy and obnoxious about it in the comment section.

Feel Z. Crux

Or it's called promoting what you want to win. You can call it twisting but we're stating what we love about Overlord and how we believe it's a good series to watch and read.

Austin Wray

I want Kill La Kill so badly.

Feel Z. Crux

Honestly that and a few other KLK voter behaviors that no doubt come from the heat of the moment is kind of making me dislike KLK ; - ;

Feel Z. Crux

Chill, it's fine to compare a sports anime to Overlord and Kill La Kill, the moment they enjoyed easily could match a scene in Overlord or Kill La Kill.

Zacke

KLK Genres: Action, Comedy, Super Power, Ecchi, School. Taken straight from myanimelist, and I do see Ecchi right there.

Ace101Mega

I leave the comment section n wait out till the poll over

Ace101Mega

Hope for Assassination classroom next hehe

Connor Brown

Oh god please, Kill la Kill would be a perfect fit for you guys!

I just voted Overlord with the hope they won't watch S2 xd

Come on KLK don’t lose your way

Yuion

OT: How can I access the Discord server I just cant find it

Krysis

You need to link your Patreon to discord and it will connect you to the server auto-magically.

Canadian_Caesar

Overlord has overtaken Kill la Kill in votes once again, will Kill la Kill regain the lead this time around or will we be stuck on Mr. Bones’ wild ride until the poll closes?

KasaiKouhai

COME ON OVERLORD YOU CAN DO IT,

Garikai

Same lol, but it's okay for me since they do HxH twice a week so it's like 2 shows :P I watched KLK last year and couldn't take it seriously at all aha. It's just not for me so no hate to those who enjoy it. I wish the options were different, but hey I'm not going to whine since it's my choice to pay.

Garikai

The salt is mainly from the dude 'Ace' for KLK lol but who cares it's just comments. People choose to vote for whatever they want though so it doesn't really matter

Garikai

"literal human garbage" hahaha Why are people crying for 24 episode anime this is insane

Aurora

Yes over wining

Aurora

Overlord wining

Garikai

Ace is definitely the worst one here, the rest tbh are just doing what the Overlord fans are doing. I don't care either way, but isn't there like a mod or someone who can deal with people harassing others for polls in the comments?

Michał Zienkiewicz

I sure hope Overlord will win ONLY BECAUSE THE KLK FANDOM SEEMS FKIN ANNOYING. they have no chill. Axis cult from Konosuba, seriously. Get fked xD for wasting my time over ur bullcrap guys. Thx

cinna

Keep it civil guys. Both shows are awesome. But Mr. Bones Wild Ride never ends.

Yuion

what would you call harrassment? Its a heated debate, i admit that but insults or harrassment are really rare. at least i have not seen any yet

Anonymous

The comment section in these voting polls are so entertaining lmao

RedBoi

I just wanna watch something I actually care about. So KLK please

Johan Larsson

I am 1000000000 procent sure that kill la kill is way better than overlord, but I have already seen it. so I voted for overlord. :D sorry

Jacky Lin

how incredibly close these 2 are is becoming hilarious to me

damn 575 to 574, I've never seen a poll this close before

Ace101Mega

i woke up to this no i will commence the hype

Ace101Mega

just kid hahahaha . "sigh" i join the patreon just to vote KLK hoping it will win . oh well ):

AardBard

I hear much about Overlord having an overpowered main character that easily beats his enemies. I've seen clips of magic spells and such being used. If that's the case, where exactly do its battles fall on your scale of realism and meaningfulness?

Emperor

A freaking DRAW? Hahaha

MegaloJoe

Are the polls usually this close?

Vern

If you look at the numbers less than 1/2 of the patreon's have voted and there's still 2 days left. A lot could change in 2 days.

OmniOrcus

Dam this is close.

Dedotated Wam

You've gotta be seriously close minded to be turned off from something that is silly. Its absurdity IS the appeal. How can you not see that?? Nudity = Female empowerment in KLK

Dedotated Wam

I can't prove anything but a lot of the Overlord fans were talking about paying to rig the poll. If that's true I'm cancelling my patronage and leaving this community. You are all toxic assholes. This is why the anime community is one of the most toxic and xenophobic ever to exist

Dedotated Wam

You think its okay to rant at someone just because they value different things in entertainment media? Losers, the lot of you

Dedotated Wam

The overlord fandom seems more cult-like. "Rise up my skeletal brothas!" I just don't care for some overrated and overvalued generic medieval fantasy anime that is literally dime a dozen. If you can't get the appeal of Kill la Kill then there is such a fundamentally huge difference in values between us that we would never see eye to eye.

cinna

Be excellent to each other.

Dedotated Wam

Yeah that's my fear. Overlord might keep going and going. Its gonna be over a year until I can actually watch one of their videos without wanting to puke. There is nothing for me in Overlord that I haven't seen before but done better. The reality is these polls are stupid anyway since they are so easily rigged. The best format would he for people to give a short synopsis of the show and why they should watch it and let them decide what they WANT to watch.

KasaiKouhai

the bad thing is that if the tie keeps up until the end, i could see actual rigging happening

mark sweitzer

im confused why is this going to another poll when overlord won on the last one unless it didnt load right for me

Travis Saar

Yo someone voting for Overlord wanna switch to cause MAXIMUM CHAOS

Maximilian Stewart

Kinda find this poll biased since a lot of people are going to vote for overlord based on seasons coming out recently.

Ace101Mega

i try not to comment cause some people don't like that i'm cheering for the anime that i want them to react but seeing that there "toxic" , jesus . it just to show that some people want KLK cause its old and there not many good reactor to react on it cause they all watch it already and overlord is sort of fresh cause it is in S3 ( best season ) . i already took a step back cause some people can't take "spamming" "face palm" . It not like u see my comment every min , but oh well that toxic i guess.

Sadovari

It's a vote, as in, someone's opinion. Let people vote how they want. What is with the shaming going on all sides here? Bias this, rigging that, I get that people have favorite shows they want the Bros to see, but seriously, are you here for the discussions or just people to reinforce your ideas of what you like? Whatever wins, the bros will react in their usual entertaining manner. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch.

2026-09-10 00:00 why people are getting so salty about this tournament, in reality because it is this close they are probably going to watch both at some point lol
2018-08-28 02:09

Azure993

i dont know lol i am new here but just guessing that because this is so close and they can see how much the fans care about these series they will probably end up watching them both just one later than the other

GenericSideCharacter

It was less about you cheering and more because you were making dozens of new comments in a row over and over to an insane degree. It'd be best to make one top level comment and put the rest in the replies if you want to keep the frequency the same

Ace101Mega

But there is no limit to how many comments i can make so y so trigger its not like u get notification on it every damn freakin time . Hahahaha

Ace101Mega

Steins gate o lost twice and never came back . Its freakin lose to GTO , that anime is so old i mean y go back when there somethin new

Dylan Hopson

Nope, in my experience if something doesn't win it is usually forgotten about

Dylan Hopson

Overlord is losing: WTF IS THIS GARBAGE SMH THIS IS RETARDED WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Dylan Hopson

You're one to talk. Ice counted a dozen comments from you trolling and naysaying

Sadovari

Jesus Dylan. Chill out man, if what you want doesn't win, either watch or don't watch. This is why internet usage should require a personality test. Just enjoy the Bro's work. Why is that so hard? You either like what they do, or you just want people to go "WOW" at anime you like.

Sadovari

Ace, c'mon, as a person who voted for GTO, its a cool show. If you don't like it that's cool. But don't disregard a show just because of it's age. That would be as silly as saying this new anime is so crap because no good anime is made these days.

Ace101Mega

when it lost twice u know there some fans that don't know what a good anime is . Megalo box i understand but it average n GTO come on be real . Can u imagine the discussion that they can have with steins gate O . their mind is going into overdrive just to predict the outcome.

Sadovari

Also hey Dylan, you could start your own reactions! Do things the way you want! That's the freedom of expression the internet allows.

Ace101Mega

I'm saying it's old not that its not good or what i just saying Stein gate will have a better discussion and they will like the ups n down of it.

Sadovari

Ace, I appreciate your point. But that's why they do the vote. I havent seen SG Zero, but I saw the original. It was cool, it was good. But you can have a deep discussion about GTO. You cant base an assumption that people don't know good anime because they didnt vote for SG 0. Steins gate would have a different discussion than GTO or KLK or Overlord. We should all just chill and let the poll play out. it's getting 2016 election up in here.

Sadovari

Whoa, credit where it's due Daniel, never heard that combination of insults, but seriously, let's not start a flame war on here over a goddamn poll. I can only imagine what the Bro's are thinking if they get told how this is going on.

Sadovari

Whatever ends up winning, lets all get along. We all love these SOS Bros right? It's gonna be good whatever happens!

Sadovari

That is exactly the reason I felt like I should post something like this. Haven't seen the community tore up like this before. Cheers Generic!

Ace101Mega

hahahah alright alright u a good person so i be chill and be grateful to whoever a gonna win the poll

Ace101Mega

it all started when a certain someone said stop "spamming" i get trigger , so i go back in and get heat up in the comments . they want to start it , i will bring it

Ace101Mega

Minashiro Soushi , Zacke and Yuion trigger me so.............i gonna fire up the comment

KasaiKouhai

regardless of what is happening, i've had this much fun or been a part of a community in my whole life than the last two days on here and the discord.

zeid c

Dylan how Steins gate is more popular than GTO and lost to it so how did it lose to the more "mainstream" ones lol

Ace101Mega

do you get notification and get annoy by it ? do u see my name 10 times in a row ? i was gonna end my comments on , klk is the overall best cause that what myanimelist put , but nooooo someone got trigger . they can just put overlord is overall best back and i be done and will see where the pool will be in the end .

Ace101Mega

if i'm going down i will bring the toxic people with me and make this community crash and burn on every poll in the future

zeid c

This thread is really entertaining lmfao I don't even care which show wins now but man I had a great laugh from all these comments

Stfu kid you shouldnt be using your mommy or dadddy's credit card and they can just fucking ban you from their patron lol

“You r all toxic assholes” wow wtf. You literally see enemies where there r none imho. Ask urself this: what tf am I even doing rn. Ok? Makes no sense. What r u fighting for, and against? Ur own head canon. Imho. But seems u love the role u assumed, so I better just ignore u completely. you wouldnt come back every time if u havent received what u seek in the discussions anyway so obv this works for u. *shrugs* damn, I just cant wrap myself around it, although I seem to get what and why u r doing this. Just not my thing. And just wanted to say it. Hopefully u wont regret ONCE the polls are over. ALSO, IS IT ME OR R U THE SECOND PERSON TELLING BROS THAT THEY WILL CANCEL IF KLK DOESNT WIN? :p #blackmail LMAO

Michał Zienkiewicz

Omg, losers u say. If being a loser means I dont throw baselessa cxusations and blackmail around, I accept my fate.

zeid c

yes keep acting that way gets you real far in life kid at least i got a few laughs from your idiocy

Fujishiro

seins gate 0 lost to GTO, checkmated. There is no recency bias going on here

Loro Lukic

You're being as bad as him now lmao

Sadovari

Seriously Ace, quit it. You are acting like a child. Multiple separate comments make it harder to find actual discussion (few that exist) in this post. That being said 80% sure this is trolling at this point.

Sadovari

Small point out to the the vocal MINORITY of KLK and Overlord supporters. Yelling and screaming, complaining and insulting will probably HURT your cause more than help. Make a comment about why you like your show, but all this raging will probably turn people away from being associated with you. Let's keep it civil. Personally, I am voting Overlord because it is SOOOOOO rare to see a true evil villain. And not chaotic evil (burn everything kill the pets etc) but Neutral Evil! By far my favorite alignment in D&D, due to how versatile it is in roleplaying.

Sadovari

Appreciated, I wonder if the discord is as bad as here right now? Who knows.

Sadovari

At least the lunacy is contained to keyboard warriors. Thanks Daiki.

Yuion

There is nothing negative about a heated debate as long as noone becomes personal

Yuion

I havent seen any insults so far, Sure some people get heated but insults have been absent so far

Loken

So close

Jaime Soto

are polls usually this close in votes? It's making me NERVOUS

Stew1337

Except that's exactly the point, "if you don't like it, then don't watch it" which is exactly why people are going crazy. I personally want kill la kill to win, and it's something I REALLY want to watch (their reaction to it). The problem with the way the bros do it is the fact that they only react to 1 episode per week, so that would mean a minimum of 12 weeks of overlord until MAYBE there's a chance to vote for kill la kill again, and there's a good chance that it'll polled against overlord season 2, and then that'll probably win because continuity makes sense. So another 12 weeks overlord, and then maybe season 3 wins cuz why not, so ANOTHER 12 weeks. How about kill la kill first since it's got a finite ending to it's episodes. Also, I know it's more of a personal issue of mine but I honestly don't like most of the animes the bros are watching, but im paying the 10 dollar tier so I can watch full reactions, and I feel kinda bullshitted if I have to pay to watch them react to like 1 anime I like and that slowly. I'm basically paying 2.50 per episode since that's about as many episodes they deliver per month of a single anime. Every single time there is a poll with something in it I REALLY want to watch it always looses because people choose trending shit.

KasaiKouhai

what's wrong with choosing what we like, its not our problem you only watch one series,it also isnt our problem that your favorite series don't win

Stew1337

Lol don't care, I was just explaining to Sadovari why the whole "it doesnt matter what they watch. If you don't like it then don't watch" is not as simple as just stating that. I'm just trying to express that others probably feel this way too, and "if you dont like it then dont watch it" is pretty literal for many, which is why they get so fired up and aggressive over finally seeing the anime they like on a poll (whether its overlord or kill la kill). You know, I REALLY like the bros so im ultimately ok with paying 10 dollars to them per month, but yhe only thing I wish they did was qatch more episodes of each anime per week, they're simply just going too slow. Heck even if they only did two episodes per week for each anime everything would be more dynamic and less sluggish, and this way animes would get faster chances of getting a turn, and fans wouldn't have to wait quarter or even half a year to wait until an anime is finished. I'm personally not a steins gate fan but judging off what i've read here a lot of people are disappointed because steins gate zero keeps loosing, and each time it takes months until they get a new chance.

Sadovari

Agreed Yuion, but its just getting ridiculous with people insulting people, allegations of rigging and bias, and calling the shows trash.

Sadovari

There has been a few thrown around. Up to you if ya wanna dig through that mess. But yeah, constructive discourse would be better to show why your show of choice is worth a vote (even if it ends up heated) An example of insulting would be people saying other people are stupid or something for voting a certain way. No need for that really

Vern

Polls are usually more spread out with votes in everything because there's 6-8 shows. This is the first tournament style one and while its interesting I hope they don't do it again. The comment section has become really toxic towards each other.

SariaBrightshell

As a fan of both series, I have to go with Kill la Kill on this one. The bros would probably quite enjoy Overlord as well, but KLK is essentially the spiritual successor to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, an amazing show that they have already shown immense love for. KLK also has fantastic characters, themes, plot-twists, comedy, nudity that - most of the time - doesn’t stray into obnoxious fanservice territory and actually has surprisingly impactful narrative and thematic purpose, an epic soundtrack, and gorgeous sakuga that all coalesces into a fantastic ride of a series. My apologies to fellow Overlord fans, but Kill la Kill wins my vote by a landslide.

Yuion

But we all should be able to stand above this, arent we? Some small thing like "you are stupid" while in a heated debate is really not that bad. Also mostly I read "The Anime is Stupid" instead of "you are stupid". If people say it nonetheless I just ignore that part and try to deconstruct their arguments. Its a tip I could give to all people on the internet. Its easy to write something like that while heated up. Its not all that bad. People nowadays are sometimes a bit too sensitive. People should stop taking things personally. I bet the people that called me stupid or a moron on the internet are actually nice people and If I would meet them IRL i probably could become friends with them. Just try to see the positive. Which is that at least 98% of comments here are just discussion, marketing for their anime and sometimes some cultism.

Yuion

But going through the comment section and seeing you a dozen of times at top level comment is kind of annoying. Just reply to other peoples comments and everyone is happy. "But there is no limit to how many comments i can make" People that think that way are the reason why Mods are needed in forums "Not my problem, why should I care"

BlackBird

I hope they will end up watching both series after one is finished. The poll is too close and whichever wins, half of us are not gonna like it. It's a shame that this comment section has become so toxic just because of this.

Yuion

I was one of the people that wrote about rigging the poll But, you see, that was a joke. I literally said "You get the accounts, I give the money". Sure, id use my bank account information on accounts a random person on the internet made Hell, why dont I just release my bank information to all of you? Dont take everything seriously damn the irony resistance is growing and growing. Soon we wont be able to use irony or sarcasm to make jokes because too many people take it seriously

Yuion

@Dylan Hopson "Babies can't accept when things can't go their way so they wannna cheat" And the last time I didnt understand sarcasm was when I was 12. Maybe you should learn to read sarcasm

Anonymous

it really shows how good kill la kill is when it ended years ago and is so close to an anime currently in its hype mode of airing. i get the feeling if overlord wasn't currently airing kill la kill would be further ahead

Syrus

Both shows are really good. Do we get both if it's 50/50?

Nyto Dork

How about we all live in harmony by tacking the "Bone" of Overlord and the cast of KLK and combine those to bone the cast of KLK?

Yuion

I disagree. There are only very few comments beeing a bit toxic. If you look closer you can see that that toxicity is based on a misunderstanding which can be solved by solving the misunderstanding. Some people got toxic because one person and me made a joke about rigging the poll with multiple accounts. They misunderstood it and became toxic. I edited that post so people see its a joke.

Marek Siciński

Our road has not yet ended, comrade, look far ahead!

Davies

KLK is genre defining, i hope it wins 😱

Sadovari

I can agree with that almost 100%. Just seems childish to get so riled up when it would be far more interesting to see some actual discussion on why people prefer one over the other.

SAL

holy shit this poll is so even

Loro Lukic

I doubt they wont like it, most would prefer one or the other but most would be happy I'd guess

Dylan Hopson

Why am I required to pay them to watch 36 weeks of a show I do not care for? It will be at least 9 months until the next poll to replace this, this poll was strictly for "popular anime' not "anime" once HxH is over another poll will be for "long running series" again, I would be paying them for literally NOTHING. So sorry pal your guilt trip isn't working.

Dedotated Wam

SG0 is just garbage that's why it lost. Even people who haven't seen it heard from their friends that it sucks. SG is NOT a popular series its extremely niche

ARNacht

I have never seen a popularity poll so close, for so long. KLK and Overlord battling it out, and there is no clear winner in sight, even now, with less than a day left to decide the next anime.

thomas McBride

There's still more than a day! I'd say the problem might be with the people taking a 1$ pledge so they can vote multiple times in the polls. We've gained more than 6 new 1$ pledges in a day now, (usually it's one per day at most), and Overlord is winning by 5 votes. Pretty close poll for sure!

Marek Siciński

lol the point of the nudity is npt 'fanservice', it is part of the whole aesthetic spectacle

Daniel Marklund

I tried watching overlord but I really didn't like the plot at all, it looks nice and all but it's not for me

Stew1337

How about the bros just react to both? Just squeeze it in, other people pump out more videos with more editing, and the bros make over 13000 dollars from this, it should be within the realm of possibilities, especially if its just 1 episode per week from each.

Yuion

Sure and because overlord is 5 votes ahead all of those new pledges voted for Overlord. Sure

Yuion

Thats true tho Problem is only that people will demand more and more. ive seen it multiple times with multiple youtubers. If give one part of the group a benefit of that kind, the other part demands it as well

Minashiro Soushi

Yeeah, about that... Patreon has decent fraud protection in place to prevent this. I know this because I actually tried making a couple of additional accounts during previous vote (Violet Evergarden one) and all of them got banned in 24 hours.

Stew1337

True, that's understandable, but the bros are really not doing THAT much. I'm not sure how many animes they are currently reacting to but assuming it's 10 then they can EASILY watch all that in 3 days and record their discussion portion for it, and then they'd only be working 3 days a week and each day 5 hour "shifts" and not do anything the rest of the week. And they don't edit themselves. So basically the make 13000 dollars a month for working 3 times a week, and that "work" consists of turning on the camera, watching anime, dicuss, done. Some poor people maybe make 13000 a year with annoying jobs. Like i dont wanna diss them and call them lazy but is it THAT wrong to demand/expect JUST a little more from them? And adding 1 more series would literally only add MAXIMUM 2 hours of work per week (not per day), like oh no we cant do that guys that's too extreme.

Sadovari

I can actually respect your point here. Still want Overlord, but good case for KLK

Minashiro Soushi

They picked up two new shows recently (SnK & BnHA), so I doubt we'll see additional slots any time soon. Hopefully, the 2nd place show will get available slot w/o vote next time.

Gringo

Ok, That's fair😊 KLK isn't really doing anything for me when it comes to plot and animation, the fight scenes where fun sometimes though. Different people, different taste, right? 😉

thomas McBride

Yuion, I mean, there are people literally saying that they'd like to pledge 1$ to rig the votes in favor of Overlord in the comments of this poll...just scroll up and you'll see them. But apparently as Minashiro says it's unlikely, so I doubt its that big of a deal.

Yuion

I was one of those people and therefor I know it was meant to be a joke. In addition you forget that the poll is a hot topic in youtube as well. People probably pledged just to vote for their favourite

MegaloJoe

Hey! Im one of the new people who pledged $1. I did it because there are no KLK reactions lol. Not trying to rig anyones community! :)

thomas McBride

Don't worry megalojoe, I was talking about people making several accounts. It's awesome to see new people in the community! Honestly with more than a thousand votes, I think it was more paranoia on my part haha.

Shion

+Stew1337 You can't say that they have more time because they have editors, AND say that they make $13000+ a month as if the editors don't get paid a decent amount. Also, are you implying that they are obligated to do more because they have more Patrons? As in, OTHER people's actions, which they have no control over, should force them to do more work? I've no issue with requesting the bros to react to both shows; however, yes I do think it's wrong to think demanding something from them is justified.

Reverend357

this is good....so, just wondering....will they watch dub or sub? cause the overlord dub is shit....

Zacke

More than 50% of all the patreons have voted for this poll, quite insane :D

Galorian

This wanting to vote on this poll is a major reason for why I finally decided to pledge. I pledged to the 5$ bracket though. :P

Stew1337

Shion, it's almost as if expressing anything nowadays will trigger at least someone. Just because I sound slightly demanding doesn't make me the biggest asshole in the world, you do realize that right? As far as I know the animes they are currently reacting to are: Monster, Attack on Titan, Berserk, Haikyuu, JoJo, Great Teacher Onizuka, HunterxHunter, Your Lie in April, My Hero Academia. . That's 9 animes, with the open slot for this poll, so 10 animes in total. One episode is usually about 25 minutes maximum, and most of their discussion portions are around maximum 45 - 50 minutes, so lets just say that watching the entire episode and recording the discussion takes 1 and a half hours. By 10 animes that's a workload of 15 hours per week, if they worked monday through friday then that would be a work load of 3 hours per day, so weekend off and each day only 3 hours of work, and this work consists of watching anime and talking about the episode. Their "work" is essentially the equivalent of watching stuff you like on youtube (for an hour top) and then talking about it for at MOST 2 hours. So a day consists of waking up, eating something, watching anime for 1 hour, talking about the anime for 2 hours, and then doing what ever the fuck you want the rest of the day. And that's assuming they do it monday through friday, they could also just shorten it to 3 days of work, with 5 hours of "work" a day, and the rest of the week you got 4 days off doing NOTHING. And regarding their editors, lets say they got 2 editors, they could give each 1500 dollars a month, and they keep 10'000 for themselves (5000 for each). If you're going to argue back then i HAVE to address real facts and points, and fact is their editor doesn't need to do THAT much work, they have no music overlays, no intros and outros, not a single screen overlay or any kind of text (except the timer, which needs to be made once and then just copy pasted in every time, which is easy too because they just need to pay attention to when they hit the play button), the only work the editor does is the SIMPLEST of cutting, I did shit like that in 8th grade. I myself do photography and cosplay nowadays as a hobby, and that's with working 6 days a week, and I don't get paid for my hobbies. Editing professional photos takes more time and effort than simple time cutting of video clips. So TECHNICALLY speaking their editors could do the easiest half time jobs and additionally do a couple hours of video editing here and there and still earn in total more than most other people for working a decent amount less, and that's if it were 1 editor, if they have 2 that already halves each of their work loads. Also, Jacob and Caleb ONLY do recording work, so they sit there, record, done, they don't edit, so for them even the "work" they do is easy as hell. . I'm not saying they're obligated to do more because they have more patrons, though this poll clearly shows that a good amount of their paying supporters are split in half and each side has a high demand for certain shows. So maybe add another anime, or like I said upload more than 1 episode per week. The reactions are sooooooo slow to finish an anime if they only do 1 episode per week, it feels sluggish. I think people would be much happier if they watched less animes but twice as fast, this way one wouldn't need to wait 3 - 4 months for them to finish a single 12 episode anime, and this wouldn't even change the amount of work they currently have. . "I do think it's wrong to think demanding something from them is justified" It is kind of justified considering this is LITERALLY their job. If their customers, aka their main source of income, have some demands (and this isn't a big demand at all mind you) then it's justified enough. Us supporting and paying them allows them to live a flexible live, have more free time, have a job that barely put's any strain on them, they work from home, they are self employed and can't get fired, they can get decent sleep without worrying too much about it, AND it gives them a really decent wage. The MAJORITY of humans on earth don't have these privileges, so you're saying even though we ARE the source of all these privileges for them we aren't allowed to make ANY demands? What kind of fucked up logic is that. Us having SOME demands is WAY more than justified. Yeah we support them on our own free will, but if none of us did then they wouldn't be living a comfortable life and would have to do this stuff as a hobby like most others WHILE going to a 50 hour per week job. As a comparison example (exaggerated to get the point across better), that's like if I let you live in my big mansion and I gave you 100'000 dollars on top of that per month, and then after half a year I ask you a single time to take out the trash and you flip out and say shit like "how DARE you demand me to work?! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU ARE JUSTIFIED TO DO SO? HUH?!?!". Like I said, exaggerated example but that's the same message you're conveying right now. And most of all, I'm not fucking demanding or expecting them to triple their work load or any shit like that, if they watched both overlord and kill la kill they would have to... wait for it hold on to your seat because I'm not sure you can handle it... they would have to work... ANOTHER ENTIRE (and I mean ENTIRE) ONE AND A HALF HOURS!!! :OOOO Big oof right? Damn, 1 and a half hours more, fuck I don't think they'll survive it, holy shit wow. . Like I said I'm not DEMANDING they do this, I'm SUGGESTING it. And seeing as currently HALF THEIR INCOME AND PRIVILEGE SOURCE is fighting over this poll then MAYBE it would be a nice and logical decision to give it a thought. . So in conclusion if they add only 1 and a half hours at most (that's rounded up) more per week to their work load then they'd make half of all their supporters happier, and to me that sounds like a very justified and logical next possible step to take. Also no, doing it once doesn't mean they NEED to do it again. And I say half of their supporters because up to THIS point about half of their supporters voted, so that number can still rise. . Pros of this suggestion: Over half of all their paying supporters will be much happier and can very well earn them more paying supporters (already read about people joining the paid support just to vote on this poll). . Cons of this suggestion: Increasing the weekly work load from 15 hours to 16.5 hours. (and remember those numbers are all rounded up, not each episode + discussion take 1 and a half hours, in fact most don't). . To me those cons aren't as bad considering the pros. Especially since it has a GOOD potential of boosting their business. . (also no, long explanation does not automatically equal overly salty and pissed, it's just I need to apparently get my point across, since you're throwing your accusational backtalk at me that tries to make me look overly like an asshole)

Demi

hopefully since these two are so close to each other, they will eventually react to both. I love both of these shows.

Aurora

Overlord very nice

danime

Come on Kill la Kill, you can do it! Don't lose your way!

Marek Siciński

It was so close,, we can't let it end now, not like this! Your vote still counts, there is still almost half of all subscribers who haven't voted yet?

Marek Siciński

Ok, I need a Gallup poll- have there been any people here who voted in the last one but don't care for either of these?

Travis Saar

Gotta admit that I'm salty because if Overlord wasn't currently airing it wouldn't stand a chance

Gringo

Possible, but I would disagree. Personally I would still go for Overlord in 2017(2 years after first season ended), and in 2020 or later when the show have been finish for sometime it would still be over KLK in my opinion.

Dedotated Wam

Yeah I don't buy that for a second. You can't watch the first episode and expect a normal serious plot. Its also easily one of the top 10 most well animated series of the last 20 years

cinna

Keep calm and vote for papi bones.

Connor Brown

Come on Trigger Fans! Dont let the Bros lose their way! Its not looking good, and just imagining them react to so many hype moments brings a smile to my face.

Loro Lukic

This latest episode of Overlord holy shit!!!

Sadovari

Yeah I disagree, it appeals to a different sort of fan than KLK probably but the value of Overlord still exists.

Amasian

no offense but KLK stands no chance against Thick Bone Daddy

MegaloJoe

Yeah its starting to look that way lol. Maybe one day Ill get a KLK reaction!

Sword Saint

As a fan of Overlord, the bone daddy stuff is pretty cringe tbh. Both shows will probably get viewed sooner or later with how popular this poll was so I'm not super upset that it looks like KlK is going to fall slightly behind, but even so I could do without it being made into a weird sexual thing.

Thilde

I hope Overlord fans won't throw a bitch fit if the bros criticize it a little. I suspect they might.

Charcuterie

thats basically true of most things, I think. I find that most people don't handle critisism of things they like well (on the internet, anyway). honestly, I love overlord but I just don't think its a very good series for the bros to react to :/

Ace101Mega

wanna bet that if the bros predict the outcome by the opening the fans will criticize them.

Michał Zienkiewicz

whoever wins I will be ook with the outcome. Tbh although I do believe Overlord is a better show, it s because of the source material. the tv anime tiself is kinda messy. They omitted too much characterisation imho. Too shallow. Also, KLK is so unique I just dislike it. I got bored with the show as it s basically the sjw propaganda for me XD ofc kidding BUT~ it is a show about freeing yourself from the enemies we all carry inside. the themes are glorious but I dislike the disco style too much. annoying. I love the music however.... Well, we shall see.

Sadovari

Sometimes you don't need a "surprise twist" to have a good story. Lord of the rings has a simple straight forward plot. It is a good story due to world building, character interactions and lore. Overlord has those (albeit not as well as the source, but the same can be said about Berserk.) Sounded a little hostile upon re-review. Changed for good feels.

Ace101Mega

remember they doing reaction videos if there no reaction what the point of making reaction video , but they still can do discussion .

Loro Lukic

Oh please, when has that ever happened. You're only saying that because the vote is so close.

Michał Zienkiewicz

if u say so~ tho to me it s just the reverse of the same coin. Sjw either way, tho I tend to feel more aligned with the “I feel oppressed so I fight the system because my freedom was taken away” mentality. HOWEVER, deal with your inner conflicts inside and only show the world your better self, is my way. :p that being said, I still sign under what I written earlier. Having acknowledged ur words. The only thing I disagree with is how u use the word opposition. I wouldnt touch it tbh. Oppositions feel unnatural to me, they dont e ist in nature. Only in our heads, imho. Like flags on the battlefield.

Michał Zienkiewicz

Seems someone is looking for expnalation as to why KLK is losing :p still, it is not. That is a tie almost. Gl

Loken

they didn't criticize rwby volume 5 to much so i think overlord will be fine, as since monty passed away the animation fluidity has dropped as well as the writing, but rwby fans would attack me for saying that even though i loved the show at one point

Kingjasco

We need Noragami on a future poll please

Stew1337

I'm kinda hoping that 100 kill la kill fans voted for overlord the whole time just to switch their votes at the end to kill la kill, now THAT would be funny.

Sadovari

Ace, I was saying that a plot twist does not a reaction make. The discussion can focus on how world building is established, character designs and interactions. The millions of D&D references. It doesn't always have to be "Wow, didnt see that coming". A story can be appreciated for how it is told.

Ace101Mega

yeah i know the discussion will be good . i talking about the scenes like the true vampire , undead knight etc.... for the reaction part . i want them to go like OMG WTF is that or WOW .

Ace101Mega

still trigger i see (: let it go man or u gonna lose your way in the future (:

Teddy Hernandez

Interesting finals, since these shows are almost polar opposites in terms of pacing. KLK is blindingly fast with some slow breather moments, while Overlord is molasses slow with moments of insanity.

Aurora

Don’t want to jinx but, overlord ?

Reverend357

After the latest episode I'm not so sure how I feel about bone daddy anymore....but then again, that would make for an interesting reaction, so....yeah, still overlord.

Coogman3

it's still anyone's game!

Fujishiro

I mean what did you expect? he was portrayed this way since the start. Nothing changed lol

Kaleidophoenix

Just a friendly reminder to everyone voting on the poll. Don't lose your way!

Emperor

when does it end?

Ohrick

This has got to be the closest poll I've ever seen, about a 1% gap between the shows, credit to both fanbases no matter who wins

Dedotated Wam

Yeah no, SJWs don't care about freedome or unity they are racists and promote tribalism.

TheHumourTumour

Don't know if you were here back then, but the poll with which they startded JoJos had Haikyuu behind JoJo with like 3 votes or so I think. The last 2 days of the poll was always changing between those two with a 1-vote difference. After Haikyuu lost they didnt even do a poll for the next show they just started it bc it was so close

AardBard

Kill la Kill is such a fun show. I do hope it prevails against the odds.

Stew1337

Yeah but now think about it, the bros only react to 1 episode per week, so wouldn't a slow paced anime be bad where they get bored easily? Binge watching a slow anime might work and even then it can feel dragged out, now imagine you do 1 episode per week. A slow build up of 4 episodes would equivalate to a month of barely anything happening. Because of this I think kill la kill makes more sense for the bros, since each episode would be quite the ride for them and would give them enough episode content to react to / talk about.

Yuion

The gap closes again. This is so intense

Yuion

Well I watch Overlord since S1. While the episodes were releasing i never felt bored or so. Just sometimes a bit confused.

Stew1337

Overlord 666 votes, satan confirmed

Kingjasco

Overlord in the dying minutes with the lead here. Can KLK pull an equaliser this late in the game. It’s neck an neck folks

Kingjasco

Who wins here comes for eternal glory: the champions league trophy anime edition

Amasian

what time does the poll end ?

Connor Brown

With less than 1 hour to go I dont think the Hype Thrusters are going to engage this time. I hope the Bros take notice of how big this poll got and end up watching KLK in the near future.

cinna

Skeletons, assemble!

Argo

Reminder for those on the fence, KLK has fewer episodes ;)

SuperTallBird

I'm clenching my teeth so hard it's giving me a headache.

Canadian_Caesar

When I first went to check the poll it said 5 mins, now it says 55. I have no idea why it lied to me like that, or what caused it to happen.

Loken

My heart hurts

Austin Wray

I'm almost in tears right now, I want Kill la Kill to win so badly.

Connor Brown

KLK FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ITSELF!

cinna

holy moly 666 - 666 right now

Smol

This is so close wow.

Loken

Satan has the poll

Smol

Dont be afraid

Aurora

The votes

Aurora

overlord

Aurora

Overlord!

Canadian_Caesar

Holy shit, they are literally neck and neck. Who's gonna win this?

Canadian_Caesar

I can't handle this, I'm just gonna check back in ~30 mins when the poll closes and see who won.

Amasian

what if it’s a tie ?!!?

JelloJelly

im finna make 10 accounts

Absent1

I mean, its $1 each, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone was doing it right now.

craldr

This poll is more exciting than either of the shows

Quinlan Schultz

At this point they should just watch both lol

cinna

With hypethrusters like this, they'll watch both sometime or another. :)

Loken

I'm so conflicted I'm literally sweating

JelloJelly

Been listening to Before My Body Is Dry for 10 minutes straight now...

Galorian

HOLY SHIT THIS IS INTENSE! X_X

Loken

I have a strange feeling some has made a bunch of accounts which just means some of the votes are fake therefore I declare it a draw

cinna

There's no evidence of tampering. It just looks like late voting and vote flipping.

JelloJelly

I don't think it's possible since different accounts cant have the same payment address... I think

Marek Siciński

lol people on both sides have been making the same accusations over vote spikes for the last 2 days

Galorian

There's definitely vote flipping- Overlord just went down 4 votes.

Aurora

I need to see bone daddy

Dave Lorenz

I don't think anyone really did it but someone actually suggested doing it when overlord was in the lead by 10 or something

Argo

They should watch Flip Flappers instead since it's clearly what the voters want

aearae

I have awoken to bring the hype, it is KLK time my dudes

cinna

gg KLK witht he last minute landslide

craldr

Damnit I think we have a winner rip overlord

Rusty

Ok so now that we got a 10 vote gap im gonna be real. I have spent the last 20 min changing my vote back and fourth trying to force a tie lmao. 😈

Canadian_Caesar

I'm wondering if yesterday's particularly bleak Overlord episode made a few people switch over to KLK

snarders

YES RYUKO YES

Dave Lorenz

Aww man its not that i dislike KLK or anything I just don't want to watch it again

Loken

It's been a rollercoaster I just hope overlord gets a second chance

Princess Paladin

Probably people just waiting until the last minute to vote so that people who might otherwise have not voted due to thinking the results were guaranteed don't have a chance to notice and do anything about it. It's happened before.

Galorian

Goddamn vote flippers, Overlord went down a bunch of votes in the last few minutes... :/

Aurora

Feels bad overlord is so great the main character is not a pussy like all other isseki anime

AardBard

You were worthy opponents and this battle was hard-fought, Overlord fans. Best of luck to you guys in future polls.

Absent1

So Overlord is the only show that has to win 2 polls to get chosen, and also Kill la Kill jumps like 15+ votes in the last 5 minutes, meanwhile Overlord drops. This whole poll has just left me feeling cheated.

HyloxalusFallax

Kill la kill winning as a Trigger show should, in last second and through the sheer determination.

Aurora

Feels bad man I honestly think that people made last second accounts so the klk can win

Absent1

I mean, just compare it to the previous poll even. Overlord is down 6 but Kill la Kill is up 20.

Marek Siciński

huh, it just feels so nervous and haggard to not be sure if we won by a last bound of cheating

Travis Saar

Not gonna lie came to check the final results and expected to be disappointment (Since I checked with less than 2 hours to go). Super excited by this insane turn of events and its been the most fun (and frustration) I've had following some random poll in my life. Hopefully Overlord can be put on a poll and I'm pretty sure it'll win (lol) and then we can get 2 awesome shows. Not gonna lie and say I'm not happy to see Kill La Kill go first though.

MegaloJoe

Maybe but cant you check how many accounts were made in the past two days? (I am a new account but i heard some people saying you could do that...)

Travis Saar

You could vote for more than 1 show last poll (I voted for both Overlord and KLK) but in the 2nd round you had to choose 1. Also everyone knew there would be 2 rounds.

Absent1

All other polls you could vote for more than one. I am aware they designed it to be 2 rounds, but I am saying no other show has ever needed to win 2 polls to be watched. That is unfair to the people who wanted Overlord.

Amasian

I’m sad, I wanted Overlord to win so bad :((

Joey Turner

There are ~40 new accounts since late last night when overlord was up by 15.

Absent1

Even if you think of it that way, it still does not invalidate my point. No other show needed to win 2 polls in order to be watched.

snarders

yes, klk did. and overlord. they both did. and overlord lost the second one.

Amasian

I hope they’ll make a video or post addressing this soon. I want to hear it from their perspective

Absent1

If KLK won a poll, and Overlord won a poll, then they should be watching both. I don't have an issue with that, my issue is with Overlord winning a poll like every other watched show and it not being watched.

JelloJelly

Don't get salty if your show didn't win lmao

Absent1

Except Overlord did win a poll, but then it lost a 2nd poll. What other show has needed to win 2 polls?

snarders

I'm sorry that you are confused about the rules of the first poll. But framing it as something that it clearly wasn't isn't fair

KasaiKouhai

I’m more salty that there was a sudden spike in votes for KLK and at the same time 12 new accounts just happened to be bought

Sadovari

Can't say I am happy at the outcome, but I am happy for KLK fans. Enjoy your win. Bone Daddy will return :)

AardBard

Overlord didn't have to win the last poll, it just had to get into the top 2, just as KLK did. Everyone who read the post knew how this worked to begin with.

JSWestlund

I think their point is that since the first poll allowed multiple votes, the fact that they won the first poll is only relevant as a qualifier for the second poll. For example, in the first poll I voted KLK and Overlord, but only KLK in the second poll, if we only had one vote in the first poll I would only have gone KLK. This the same vice versa including the other shows on the first poll. So basically, the first poll was scramble for as much votes as possible for two winnners.

Ace101Mega

ahahhaha YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we didn't lose our way hahahahahahah

dale cunningham

Not knocking Overlord..........But YES! Looking forward to the madness.

Ace101Mega

Overlord need to wait for the next poll or not . Just be patience . Maybe overlord will win the next poll depends on the selection . if they go against the likes Assassination Classroom , they lose .

Sadovari

Funny how some of the uhh lets say "vocal minority" of KLK seem to happy and patient now. Hmm. Where was your patience before Ace?

Ryan Bryan

Overlord is a great series in it's own right, but having watched both, I'd honestly say I'd enjoy the bros' reaction to Kill la Kill far more

Ace101Mega

i was patience to see who won in the end didn't i ? hahaha don't like my spam suck bitch WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where salt now

Sadovari

Wow, you are actually the first person I've encountered on here that I honestly do not like. I am out, no point in further discussions with you.

Sadovari

Come on Kou, we Overlord fans are better than that. Eveeen if KLK used cash shop items. Ains Ooal Gown does not know defeat. (Obvious joke and reference to Overlord before people assume I am promoting some rigging fantasy)

Ace101Mega

OK bro , see you next . have a "good" day and Don’t lose your way in your mind We have to be as one community alright (:

Yuion

Guess I'll have to skip this one then Looking forward for in 24 weeks

Yuion

I hope they get something good until HxH ends... Or else I have no reason to stay.. And Im not mad or so. Its just that SOS runs out of shows for me to watch

Melker Linderoth

It was so close. Overlord will return anyways, so it's not the end of the world.

thomas McBride

Look Ace, you're being toxic here. You say we have to be as one community, but you're the one guy in this poll trying to start up beef. You don't need to reply to every comment and suck the fun out of the poll by spamming...we get it you like KLK, don't be childish about it. Thanks.

SariaBrightshell

Nice! I love Overlord, but Kill la Kill is a series no fan of TTGL should miss.

Loken

i wish i had the money to make a bunch of 1 dollar accounts to vote my show to victory

Ace101Mega

look at his respond to me . Overlord need to wait for the next poll which is true , depending on what they going up against there could be a another fight which is true .And finally call me out so i respond , so keep responding to me and i reply . he want to be funny with me than i be funnier with him

Yuion

I watched them (at least in part) and was not able to enjoy them. GTO is not my kind of humor. After 3 Episodes I quit Monster I tried for longer but I think after 11 or 12 Episodes I quit. I just couldnt get myself to watch those animes, cant tell you exactly why. For me it was just boring and/or I didnt care about the characters. Maybe it is because at some point I started disliking Animes with an older Artstyle. Which is why I didnt watch Cowboy Beebop, or rather I actively avoided shows like that. NGE also was bs to me. The last few episodes made no sense at all... Then i never liked other popular animes like Ranma or Berserk. I stated in another comment that i watch anime for over a decade now and maybe im just starting to get fed up with certain types of anime. Rewatchability became a very important aspect for me. Shows like Kill la Kill had nearly no value in that regard to me. I never ever touched that anime again after watching it. I even forgot about it completely until this poll happened. I rewatched a bunch of anime, even naruto is thanks to filler (or rather thanks to the fact that you can skip them) a high value rewatchable anime. I love the SOS Bros but im not going to rewatch an anime with them I almost forgot because it had left nearly no impression in my mind

Minashiro Soushi

I'll never get this... Like, yeah, KLK is fun and all, but it's nowhere near TTGL. Art style, direction and music are top-notch. Plot? Depth? World building? Character development? Don't think so.

SogekingVinesmoke

Interesting. I prefer TTGL to KLK as well, but I do think KLK does have some solid depth and character development. Are said categories better than TTGL? No, not quite, but I still found them to be quite satisfactory.

Khaos

Thats a letdown :(

Khaos

I am actually fairly sure KLK people did that too, to get the current result :D

Minashiro Soushi

Dunno, I’ve seen it a long time ago, so maybe it’ll grab me on rewatch. I just... don’t remember it being EXCEPTIONALLY good.

Minashiro Soushi

Oh, hey, checked my scores on MAL and KLK is an 8 there. Yup, pretty much as I remember it: really fun, but not enough for “must-watch” recommendation list. For reference, TTGL is 10 and Overlord is 10-9-9.

Ubelblatt

overlord is overhyped + the last seasons have no budget

Ubelblatt

vote for kill la kill

Davies

Oh wow this poll was crazy, a rollercoaster of emotion. Im glad KLK won it, i dont think it gets enough love, also by the time they finish Overlord s3, s4 might be around the corner so thats pretty cool.

Jacob

YES!! KLK!! But I do want to watch SOS Bros reacting Overlord too. maby in the next poll.

Aurora

That moment when the last season has best animation out off all the seasons ye no budget. Also what does budget have to do with anything.

Razzlion

This was a crazy fun poll round! :D Hoping we get Overlord in the future!

Vern

There was some vote manipulation as to which side I dunno. Yesterday we had 191 $1 patreons there are now 183. I understand keeping it low so youtubers can vote too. Maybe future votes at least require $5 tier.

Dylan Hopson

That might be why you dislike KLK then. The creators were paying homage to late 80s anime with the art and animation style, because the Japanese recognize that as their golden era for anime, where as a nation they had a lot of pride in their skills as creators of animation and created every work, no matter how small to look gorgeous and be the best that it could be, but it was unsustainable after their economy crashed.

Sadovari

True dat, seems like budget = good in so many fans minds these days. I feel like it misses the point. I get that anime is at it's base, a visual medium, but it's so much more than flashy animation.

Anonymous

if they're getting the "pay when you pledge and then the start of each month" setting who cares if some people give them a few more bucks to vote for the show they want? how is it vote manipulation if they're actually paying the cost to vote?

Michał Zienkiewicz

Basically u believe the KLK ppl literally swarmed here for $1 to vote? And what s wrong with that. Well, if they cancelled immediately, they would do so even with higher tiers. I mean, is there even a penalty for this? Semblances dont charge per work. I am not sure if they would even be charged that $1 if they r here fir several days n watch nothing but vote. Probably, but... well, they should be charged one dollar 29 cents. At least. :p

Findel

If the new season of overlord has no budget to you I would hate to see what a good budget looks like. Yes, it uses some cg but that is part of the times. It is sad that people now a days think that if every moment is not full of, "sakuga," that the budget is bad. Come back with those complaints when you've lived through anime from the late '80s early '90s. Your eyes and ears have not bled enough until you have sat through a US Manga Core dub from that era.

Vern

Michal I didn't accuse either side you came up with that on your own. Its still going down 176 now.

Yuion

Lol that accusation He literally said "as to which side I dunno" and just put an Idea to prevent it for the next time. I could make an accusation that if Overlord wonyou would cry "VOTE MANIPULATION" but im not doing it ;) This was a textbook case of Cathy Newman syndrome

Vern

Thank you Yuion, Its still going down 174. A curious thing.

Mokyaffe

I dont get why people like Overlord.. Same mmorpg fantasy setting as 20000 other animes

Mokyaffe

I couldn't get trough the 1st episode.. It was too boring and one of the rare times I dropped a series without watching at least 2 episodes.. Why do you think I should give it a new try I'm curious 🤔

Vern

Spoilers galore. Overlord isn't trapped in a game. Every 100 years ppl who were online have been teleported to this world. The "Overlord" is the most recent. Its why the world resembles a game previous people built the governments, made the adventures guild, and taught the world magic. This doesn't get hinted at until season 2 which imo made the anime a lot more fun.

bennydelon

I don't care about either of these shows but I'm happy with the result because Kill la Kill is a bit shorter, which means it will be replaced sooner, hopefully by something more interesting.

Loro Lukic

The original star wars budget was terrible. I guess they're sub-par movies.

Pyo

They will probably finished HxH in January right? I hope The Promised Neverland gets in the vote (also Kimetsu no Yaiba in April!); the main characters of those two series give “The Gon Vibe” quite a bit 🧐

Dylan Hopson

There's no universe where Kill la Kill isn't interesting. This is a situation where it purely comes down to personal taste. KLK is very good but it may not be what some people are looking for.

Dylan Hopson

I wonder if they would consider trying out the dub after they watch episode 1 the normal way?

Dylan Hopson

Depth is subjective not objective, plot is pretty fun, characters are AMAZING, I personally liked the story far more than TTGL so nothing but high hopes for this reaction.

Dylan Hopson

The number of patrons would have to go up though. The overlord voters just switched their vote

bennydelon

Fair enough Dylan, I should have said something that I find more interesting

Dylan Hopson

If it uses CG that's not "part of the times" that's fucking lazy. People should demand better, and stop paying for lazy animation, and they will have to step up their game. Animators in the 80s didn't seem to have any issues making literally everything "pure sakuga' though I doubt you even know what that word means

Dylan Hopson

LMAOOOO as if MAL scores are anything resembling an indication of quality. When they made an entry for FLCL originally it was at about a six, and the reviews were people saying "Everyone told me this show was good but I don't get it?" or "The music was annoying"

Dylan Hopson

Gon is definite not one of the better written characters in HxH. He subverts expectations but he's pretty 2 dimensional.

MegaloJoe

I mean is this actually a new thing? Kll freely admit that i made this account purely because i wanted a kill la kill reaction lol. But i paid my dollar so i have the right to vote and cancel it right? Ill probably pay for early access reaction if that makes it better.

Ergzay

I hope they don't watch the dub. Most of the jokes don't work well when dubbed so they ended up being rewritten to be a different joke.

uwu owo

they wont watch the dub, hell no.

pompoms

Just a thought. Maybe, after the show they wanted won, they moved up a tier. Hm. Hmmmm. No, that makes no sense, right?

Blu3rice

Damn I missed the poll but at least Kill la Kill won lol

MegaloJoe

Im just saying its not vote manipulation if we paid the dollar to vote then cancel afterwards. Thats just how the pool works. So most of the decrease in patrons could just be youtube voters like me who wanted our say.

PadawanSoap

dammnit with Overlord they wouldve had 3 seasons of GREATNESS!

aapaap sikkl

wow, how great must Kill la Kill be to beat Overlord? Kinda sad about that lol

Travis Saar

It's really great. Like one of the best Anime of the past decade. definitely watch it if you haven't

EdaGos

after watching kill la kill it's kinda shit for my taste

Lufttwafe

Kill la kill? What kind of shit is this?

Lufttwafe

I cant believe they still didn't watch Overlord...
