Haikyuu please pull thru🙏

Ksweets

i need kenny to see the philosophical masterpiece that is naruto

Josh

The solution to this is to do both 😇

Sam Cam

Can we just have both

Malik Black

I think he has already watch it so he just be rewatching with Montana if it wins

Gabe

Naruto please! 🍜 Believe it! 👍

Ksweets

honestly i’d even still take it naruto is a show you can get so much out of on rewatch.

defnotdai

I like both Naruto and haikyuu. And I ultimately want you guys to react both, regardless of which one wins😭

Jakari24

Oh wow. This means People are lowkey trying to say Haikyuu, a sports anime, is better than Naruto, a psychological and philosophical action based masterpiece about NINJAS, is absolutely diabolical 😂😂

Prue

I say we go with logic. Kenny you've watched Naruto you haven't watched Haikyuu, You'd be able to finish Haikyuu in less time than Naruto even without the filler, Naruto has perverted teachers, Haikyuu has inspirational teachers, There like +10 action series in this patreon vs no sports anime at all, which means one works for the current audience while Haikyuu reaches a new audience

AlfredoFetus

the real tea is naruto only has the backing and the votes of naruto fans while haikyuu has the backing and votes of both haikyuu fans and naruto haters🗣️ but we shall prevail bc naruto is peak

Day

Probably eventually, just one of them will be first

hotdog

dr stone was fumbled AGAIN :(

AlfredoFetus

and kenny obviously hasnt seen it in a pretty long time bc hes blurry on a lot of the finer details 😋

HBelmont67

This makes ALL the sense

Prue

Haikyuu also has a TON of interesting and consistent themes from self care, growth, different life trajectories, capitalism and how that impacts growth. Plus Kenny already watched Naruto.

Lex

i wanted black clover but voted haikyuu 😭😭

AlfredoFetus

NARUTO IS WINNING BY 1%🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Kiribukai

It’s been a while since a Patreon poll has got me this STRESSED. Come on, Haikyuu, let’s goooo 🙏🏻

KiraIsHere

If we went with logic courting the naruto fanbase will always be more beneficial lol it just takes typing "naruto episode 1 reaction" into the youtube search bar to see which brings in more people.

Shay

It's almost as if Naruto is very much "of its time" and has multiple questionable things in it, multiple contradictory morals and horrible pacing that people who rewatched it without Nostalgia glasses on know isn't actually good and definitely not the best thing to be seen after being exposed to multiple other shows that were written by people who had more of a plan and actually know how to write😃

Lex

naruto is one of those shows that is fantastic to watch when you’re a kid, but the pacing/stories haven’t aged as well when you’re an adult. i completed a rewatch recently and would loveee for yall to watch haikyuu instead 😭

StorytellerDave

Yeah honestly I swapped my vote from Dr. Stone to Haikyu just bc I really don't want Naruto to win, but I'd prefer Dr. Stone, but it's really far behind.

Prue

It's you and me in this campaign, we know we have the best candidate but the best candidate doesn't win a lot of the time.

HBelmont67

At this point, that's feeling more like a legit option 🤣

Port34

Treating it as ranked choice. Primary choice had no chance of wining so changed my vote to where it would actually matter. Pulled it to a 33% to 32% lead but seems to have evened out again :(

Sam Cam

It should be clearly both sides have a lot of potential viewers win win

Prue

Yeah and also check what everyone says when they watch Haikyuu and how they gain a much kinder fun audience that is just excited vs Naruto which brings the OG fan wars and misogyny up the wazoo

StorytellerDave

Naruto legit caused me pain. As a writer, the world-building and writing in it is painfully bad. It starts out okay-ish for a bit, but the longer it goes on the worse it gets. Naruto literally peaks with the exam arc, an exam btw where pretty much none of the espionage tricks they learn and demonstrate ever comes up again in the future. The show just forgets that ninjas are meant to be spies half-way through and goes all in on mindless action, and not even good kind of mindless action. Gosh I freakin hate Naruto.

HBelmont67

That's one way to look at it. Here's another: people want Kenny and Montana to try something new instead of starting, like, the TENTH shonen anime on this channel.

LittleLovely_

Can I vote twice? 😭😭😭😭 HAIKYUU PLS 🙏🏾

HBelmont67

To anyone who voted for Dr Stone: keep your chins up. There'll be another time that show, maybe after Dandadan. In the meantime, divert your votes to Haikyu. ✊🏼

HBelmont67

Gotta pick your battles 😔

HBelmont67

If Naruto wins, I'm gonna be legit disappointed.

hotdog

fair enough

HBelmont67

Agreed. If Naruto comes, the comment sections for those reactions are gonna be a NIGHTMARE. I don't want Kenny to deal with that.

Prue

Yes, by far better, the story is good all the way through, incredible relatable themes from capitalism to health and different paths being valid in life, the ending everyone brings up whenever we talk about good manga endings, doesn't go on forever, the imporance of community, there's so much in haikyuu.

KiraIsHere

kinda a weird thing to say tbh

SKI

I say you just redo the poll with just Haikyuu and Naruto and see which one wins

HBelmont67

I'll say it again: for ONCE, don't let popularity decide the votes. PLEASE. 🙏🏼

Allermann

i would personally prefer Naruto over Haikyu, but that's just because i won't be watching the Haikyu videos.

Recable

He’s already seen it but Montana hasn’t, and it’s my vote too.

Lui the Bean

Well, my dr stoners it seems we've lost again BUT WE WILL NEVER STOP PUSHING FOR IT WE CAN DO THIS

StorytellerDave

If you don't like either, vote Haikyuu, it is way shorter, so you'll get another vote much faster.

BG91

The simple solution is to do both

HBelmont67

Since it won't win here, give Haikyuu your vote. 🙏🏼

Turtle

Hikyuuuuuu

StorytellerDave

I swapped from Dr. Stone to Haikyuu, it's much shorter than Naruto, we'll get our chance way quicker.

StorytellerDave

@Smug - Okay but who the F is watching Naruto episode 200 reaction? You can't just judge based on the first episode, it's a VERY long show, and nobody's going to tune in to each episode, people will just skim through, watch their favourite couple episodes or arcs and be absent most of the time. A more condensed series is thus better for retention.

Prue

Here's are some fun facts about Haikyuu just to show it's importance. After it started new High School Volleyball teams opened all around Japan, the JAPAN NATIONAL OLYMPIC TEAM plays a HAIKYUU OPENING when they win this does NOT happen for every sport. Players from different countries were carrying around Haikyuu plushies and talking about who their favorite characters are.

kivi

Haikyuu trust

KiraIsHere

probably people that just saw 199.

HBelmont67

Dang, didn't realize Haikyu was that big a deal 🏐💥

StorytellerDave

Compare the views Naruto reactions get at the start to how many they get a few hundred episodes in and it's going to be an insane drop-off. Something that long is simply not worth doing a series on, it's a waste of time. PS - I checked and the ep1 videos are not even that high in view count to begin with. They don't even come close to the modern big hitters like Frieren, Dandadan, etc and they have had years to accumulate views and just don't.

Prue

First of all they watch western shows, if they were to prioritize only views they wouldn't do that. Second, buddy if they are tied audiences clearly like haikyuu, plus Haikyuu will have a movie and new episodes in 2027 which will make the audience revisit through reactos even more than they already do.

𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚𝖐𝖎 𝖇𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖙

I'm not even a naruto hater, I actually like it (aside from a specific few issues in it i could do without) but i just don't prefer it for a reaction. But I'm guessing you've never even watched haikyuu cause this a really typical response from someone that has no idea what the shows heart and writing is about.

Prue

Listen friend I'm sorry but hey if you vote for Haikyuu it will end sooner than Naruto and then you can fight for it again, and if it's between Dr.Stone and Naruto I would 100% support Dr.Stone, so vote smart!

HBelmont67

Then we know Kenny would love it 🏐

HBelmont67

I mean, volleyball's one of the few sports I actively enjoy, both playing and watching, so make an anime around that with great characters and hype moments? Sounds like a recipe for success. 😎

HBelmont67

I don't think it's EVER been this neck and neck before 🤣

KiraIsHere

Tbf I dont think theres even a need for a debate. If i had to put my money on a winner its obviously going to be haikyuu just based on the channels vibes. I'd honestly be willing to bet my ability to eat chunky monkey ice cream on it. Kinda a bummer but I still have apothecary diaries to look forward to so its not like its the end of times.

HBelmont67

Forreal. All things tropes and cliches that Kenny and Montana have openly disliked in shows like My Hero Academia are dialed up to an 11 and WAY more prevalent in Naruto. They would not be amused. 😒

HBelmont67

I mentioned this in the poll, but there are shows you react to, and shows that you watch. Stuff like Naruto and One Piece easily slot in the latter category.

Kiribukai

Watching the 2024 Japan Olympic Team and hearing them play the opening songs after their matches is what made me decided to watch Haikyuu 😭 my other favorite fact about Haikyuu is the author played volleyball in high school (a middle blocker, same position as I played 🥹) and when he noticed that volleyball was declining in popularity, he wanted to write something that would make people care about the sport again. And Haikyuu did just that! Volleyball has had a HUGE resurgence of participation in Japan middle and high schools and many people attribute that to Haikyuu 🧡 It’s an anime that has so much heart because the author, Furudate, truly loves the sport and loves the characters he created 🥹

michael anjim

We’ll have to re-vote like they’ve been for the chairmen position in HxH 😂

michael anjim

I’m suprised no one wants black clover or wand and sword wistoria

StorytellerDave

Black Clover got decent votes all things considered. Wistoria I think is less well known. I've only watched the first season, still gotta catch up on it, but I liked it, hope the new eps are good.

StorytellerDave

Can't believe they equalized again, Haikyu was ahead by 1% multiple times now.

michael anjim

Yea they really are i think it’s in the character development part of the show rn getting to know the characters more adding more depth but its a really all around good show and greatly animated

Dan Cervantes

The perfect way to honor the election arc is to create a new poll that is a runoff of naruto and haikyu.

HBelmont67

The timing is kinda funny haha

HBelmont67

It's pulling ahead 🤞🏼😣🤞🏼

Lex

Yeah this is my thought too. Would love black clover or dr stone but it didn’t seem close, and I don’t think OG Naruto is all that entertaining.

HBelmont67

Regardless of which show wins, I think I'll look back on this poll and smile. The last 24 hours on this Patreon have been fun. 😁

StorytellerDave

Did it pull ahead? It looks equal for me now XD

Near N

Naruto pleeeeeeease!!

Bryan Sanchez

its even more tied up now, might as well just do a solo poll of those two for sudden death

HBelmont67

Bro, if it STAYS tied like this for the next few hours, I think the only viable option at this point would be just watch BOTH. 🤣 I mean, it's not like it's not possible; we're talking Thursday AND Saturday slots, so this feels like the way to make most of everyone happy.

HBelmont67

Or, since this slot is twice a week, put one show on Thursday and the other on Saturday.

Blaster man1129

Probably because people usually start watching reactions at Shippuden if they don't just pick an choose episodes that they really want to see

Bryan Sanchez

nah, long shows like this would take years at a once a week pace, its not worth it pick one and let it run its course, then another show slot will allow for a new show again soon

HBelmont67

You're right. I'm just suggesting what will probably make everyone happy. 😊

EJ

Naruto is up 1%

EJ

i do want them to watch Haikyu at some point Im fine with either one

ExoticTea

Dawg I dislike how disingenuous you are, “perverted teachers” and it’s a someone that’s in 35 out of 130 cannon episodes. Like piss off in dissing Naruto and voting for “logic”. Naruto will win, a mans cope will never die

Prue

Kakashi is also a weird pervert, Naruto is also a weirdo, most of the guy students are also odd. And this is what I mean about audiences, a woman shares something they find uncomfortable about a show like the misogyny everywhere in the writing and here come the little "wrah wrah we still win cope"

HBelmont67

Katsuki, you seen the latest Death Battle between Yuji and Denji?

StorytellerDave

It's 37% to 37% now, they equalized yet again

sharmarke ahmed

how is naruto a weirdo? the ##### jutsu is a weird gag sure but don't pretend naruto isn't one of the most wholesome protagonists of all time lol also Kakashi isn't a weirdo in literally any sense ur only saying that cause he likes r18 novels but that doesn't make anyone a weirdo jiraya is the crime against humanity + nose bleed gags in older anime are EXTREMELY irritating but their watching dandadan rn and I'd argue ep 1 of dandadan and a future episode hold more weirdo stuff then any naruto episodes specially considering the MC in that show is a minor

HBelmont67

I don't have discord haha. What's it like?

sharmarke ahmed

haikyuu wll win but I feel like people are over doing it with the moral policing not saying you are ofc but naruto is a wonderful show that most would love to hear kenny/montanas commentary on cause of the unique problems it tackles

ExoticTea

☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

Rico

When are they closing the poll? Naruto is ahead so I hope they close it now lol

HBelmont67

With how long the votes for Haikyuu and Naruto have been even, I think Kenny just needs to look at the comments. More people have been writing Haikyuu support comments, and said comments are getting more likes than those in support of Naruto. That feels as indicative as the votes themselves, if you ask me. Like, if you ignore the numbers and actually read the reasonings and arguments about why people want to watch Naruto and how they say spoke arguments compared to Haikyuu, the latter is just the BETTER option.

HBelmont67

Everything going on here just supports what I said about what the comment sections of Naruto reactions would look like. Kenny would HATE it. 😤

HBelmont67

Plus, the HxH slot has two days, one for Haikyuu and Naruto.

HBelmont67

Wdym they're still dead even. I've been keeping track.

Rico

It shows 37% for Naruto and 36% Haikyuu for me

Sam Cam

That's what I'm saying or they could do Naruto first since it's longer than when one of the other shows finish add haikyu

rebillihp

fight on kurasanno go haikyuu!!

HBelmont67

It still says 36% for each on my end 🤷🏼‍♂️

Rico

I’m guessing they’ll do Naruto and then do haikyuu as soon as their next slot opens. Kenny seemed really excited to show Montana Naruto

Rico

These comments seem pretty devisive compared to usual lol. I wonder how they’ll handle it

HBelmont67

We're so close. Don't lose faith. 🙏🏼 Also, is it Haikyu, with one 'u', or Haikyuu? 😅

HBelmont67

It's NEVER been this neck and neck before, so I still think that the best course of action would be to give one day to Haikyuu, and the other Naruto. Yeah, the reactions would take longer, but the trade-off is they keep the majority of their community happy. I feel like whichever show wins, a LOT of people on the other side are gonna be disappointed. ☹️ Maybe they can double up episodes of Naruto, like they did with Over the Garden Wall on YouTube.

Rico

They seem pretty stretched thin though. Personally I could go either way. But Kenny’s excitement and his constant reference to Naruto makes me think he’s looking forward to Naruto which kind of tilts my vote

HBelmont67

I haven't hardly even seen Kenny bring up Naruto, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Rico

lol what do you mean he references it all the time!

𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚𝖐𝖎 𝖇𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖙

He's definitely brought it up a few times, referencing it here and there over a spread out timespan I thought. But I definitely haven't heard him constantly bring it up. But then I may not have been watching those specific reactions. (Demon slayer, frieren, dandadan, and im catching up on castlevania now)

Rico

I forget what video it was, but recently in one of the opening Kenny was gushing over it. While I know they’ll enjoy both shows sometimes it’s nice to give them what they want

𝖐𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚𝖐𝖎 𝖇𝖆𝖐𝖚𝖌𝖔𝖆𝖙

If it were recent i may have missed it as ive been travelimg a ton. But yeah I mean, as far as we know, they may like haikyuu just as much if they give it a go 🤷🏽‍♂️ just personally, I feel like naruto would be better enjoyed on their own time so they could watch it in it's entirety and not have to wait in between binges, but mostly not worrying about stopping before shippuden or to ever figure out how to react to it. But If it wins, I'm sure it'll be fine you know. At the end of the day, all I can hope is that they enjoy whatevers chosen.

Rico

Oh absolutely they’ll love both shows

Rico

You’re good. I watch Studio Gek as well and they did a binge format for Naruto initially. I think it was fun. I wonder if reaction channels watch a lot of television outside of their reactions? I could see it becoming tiring if you do it for a living.

ExoticTea

We’re just calling out this a holes awful and misleading comments, like expressing your opinion shouldn’t be done by slander and blatant lies/mischaracterization

StorytellerDave

Congrats, now Dr. Stone and Black Clover are on equal percentages too, just so that you can have another tie, because clearly one tie was not enough in a single vote XD

StorytellerDave

I dislike Naruto for a lot of reasons, but I will say, as a massive Critical Role fan, it is really cool hearing Sam and Liam at the start(ish) of their VA careers

michael anjim

Kenny watch black clover then Wistoria: Wand and Sword directly after to replace it I promise it’ll be perfect for yall to react to 👍

ROZÉ

Did you just slander NARUTO with this sports slop?

ROZÉ

SO BAD!!!

Athosa

If you hate it then chill, we get it, but let others have their own opinions. Alot of us grew up with and love the story of Naruto. Sorry you didn't like it. Now, I don't think Montana will like it, and that's fair. It's not for everyone. But saying it legit caused you pain, get real buddy. "As a writer" shit, most of us write, some of us are published. We all take inspiration and enjoyment from different sources. But, we won't sway others from discovering new media just because we don't like the source material.

grace 🩷

plsss i hope haikyu wins

KiraIsHere

Tbf dandadan has worse shit than naruto by a large margin. Naruto is no worse in the "weird" department than shows like one piece or dragon ball for that matter. You don't like the series and thats fine but I mean come on calling Kakashi a weirdo because he reads a category quite a few people read is a stretch. I feel like its probably prudent to point out the people disagreeing and hoping for Naruto could easily be women too lol. Since ykno nobody has any way of knowing the gender of the person behind the screen unless you outright ask or try and guess off of usernames/pfps which tbh seems kinda presumptuous.

KiraIsHere

Why would likes on comments matter if the vote already represents peoples interest? Theyre the same metric. People liking haikyuu comments already voted haikyuu.

Prue

Kakashi being a NSFW addict and CHILDREN being aware of it is weird, the Naruto "joke" is a reflection of the author's beliefs he thinks Naruto becoming multiple naked girl versions of himself to distract people is "funny", Sakura getting benched during most fights is misogynistic, and yeah I also don't watch Dandadan.

Kiribukai

I expected there to be a winner when I woke up this morning, but it’s still tied 😭 that’s absolutely wild

Ayanna

Same!! Im so stressed 😫 lmaoo

Ramon Fax!

but Naruto is such a classic, it's music, the emotional moments, forgiveness, the ninja way, iconic fights, the incredible openings, the fear and pain of loneliness. Kakashi!!!! Come on there's so much good in there that it out weighs the bad.

HBelmont67

Not this again. This was already discussed in their Dandadan reactions, but to summarize: the way Dandadan handles that kind of subject material than something like Naruto because it's NOT trying to make it funny, nor be provocative.

HBelmont67

Haikyuu finally won!! 🥳

HBelmont67

IT WON! 🏐 🥂🥳
