Comments

Dank Waifu

Made in abyss please lawd 🙏 😭

Renden

Oh boy. I'll update the Poll History Sheet.

Bocchi

Bocchi for the win

V

I want them to watch them all 😭

Lock in

It’s time for the Naruto journey Edit: to those saying for a seperate poll for longer shows. That has been suggested extensively already in the past. And I’m not gonna wait 3-4 years for One piece to start Naruto lol

Tsatsa

SAIKI K PLS GUYS WE NEED MORE SLICE OF LIFE

Millie b

Omg saiki and assassination classroom 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jonno

Was going to vote Made in the Abyss but scrolled down to see Saga of Tanya the Evil! Tanya needs more support!

Paulo Sebastiao

Seems like the perfect time for Black Clover.

Katenkyoka

Hopefully Bleach wins

Infierno23

Monster, parasyte, and orb are top tier!

Teedo

Your Lie in April 🤞🤞🤞

Reminder

a lot of great shows! But i think you should consider keeping slots for a long running series (+60eps) separate. We now already have My Hero, JoJo, Dr. Stone and One Piece. If Bleach, Slime, Naruto or Black Clover gets a slot it would be a disappointment tbh, but i would gladly watch them after you finish things above

Galleon

Idk if Fruits Basket has the guns to compete in popularity, but i won’t give up on it. 😤

Seriouslyzapp

maybe next time RECORDS OF RAGNAROCK

Aly

guys begging you all for MONSTER and Orb: on the movements of the earth. I cant wait any longer😭😭

Atlas Creation

Let’s wait for one piece to finish bro…

Sorin

nah, long running battle shounens should get their own exclusive poll

winter

Slime was close last time now it’s got to win

Lock in

When in 3 years?

Claude

Pleasee, people, vote for Link Click, with Wes and Steph’s amazing deduction skills it will be a blast

Atlas Creation

Orb, link click, abyss, hero x.. please. The world is doomed if we get slime or a major shounen..

Tsatsa

Yes!!

Cinshadis

This is a great point. Something like Bleach is a years long commitment at 1-2 eps per week.

Mr. Simple

Classroom of the elite / Eminence in shadow! Let’s go!

Sorin

yeah there should be two separate polls. one for short series and one for long ones. a lot of people don't really care about the old battle shounens

Sultan

Naruto🔥🔥

Ivan Taran

Good thing you can vote both

Atlas Creation

YEAH IN THREE YEARS. leave that crap on the back burner

humphrey-t-humphrington

I understand where you're coming from but considering the fact this has been suggested several times with no change I think they just don't care about the length of the anime

anixxander

We ain't living that long bro 😪

Sultan

it won't finish

Molly

cheering on assclass!

Juan José chica Acevedo

Damn, straight up bangers here man, but i would love to see them react to tensura and made in abyss, tensura because its really chill and fun and made in abyss because...yeah

Nody

plssss saiki

Tsatsa

Guys think about it, they haven’t watched too much slice of life. And even when they do, it’s all romance, not very much comedy going on. Saiki k has lots of different characters they’ll love, it’s funny, it doesn’t get boring and we’ll love their reactions to the comedy!! I’m sure they’ll go “what!?” Like million times on just the first episode alone. I get that shonen animes are really popular… but maybe let’s give other genres a chance

halastair

Monster is the only correct choise for them looking at how much they enjoyed philosophical and psychological aspects of animes like Fate, AOT, Vinland Saga and so on

Atlas Creation

If they care only about profits then collecting these long, popular shounen shows would get them that. It’s unfortunate for fans of less popular shows. I want to see their insight on more deep and well written shows, not something like slime.

JR5

Join the Black Clover Ride. It's about to end, so let's watch it together

brde

madoka bless us..🙏

Lock in

lol they should watch it now, if they like one piece they would love Naruto 100x more considering it’s the better show.

Jared Dudley

Genuinely curious how a show that features p*dophillic themes so often wins these polls (talking bout the Slime show)

Lobstar

Parasyte would be cool. It's really good and not incredibly long

Nody

if we are doing lord of mysteries pls English dub

Dale Tucker

I love polls. It really brings out the best in people

snowchims

they need a break, just look at every anime series they have reacted to so far. more slice of life tbh or explore other genres too

Alvaro Vesga

I'm sad because I know Bocchi or Orb Will never win one of these polls 🥲 or maybe they Will...after a couple of years without any of the other "Big" shows

Just Mav

After so many attempts.. and Tensura even being 2nd Place last time.. it's gotta be Tensura now. D:

Barry

Its why I'm only recommending Bocchi, short and light hearted.

Ougi

Naruto is so ass as a show for reactions. The pacing is sooooo bad and there isn't a One Pace equivalent so there's nothing u can do.

Atlas Creation

Some millionaire please start making hundreds of accounts and make slime, eminence, and Naruto LOSE! Keep those shows in poll jail for the next 8+ years please. I’m a d1 hater.

Bocchi

YES.

Zaria Parker

I’m gonna keep voting for Fruits Basket until it wins one day!

Tsatsa

Green lesbian pfp… gay minds think alike

Tootthpaste

One day we'll get lord of the mysteries, one day

Dani

most people do care about them lol that’s why they’re popular

Barry

Another battle shonen or isekai would be too much, we need an alliance to vote for alternatives. I'm championing Bocchi, lets get something less generic up there.

Dani

guy that only likes pedophilia slop 😭

Ale

Well, I'll vote for Assassination Classroom, Your Lie in April, and Clannad. Such uplifting and hilarious shows, where you laugh so much in every episode! :)

Barry

I'm going to start voting for any unique shows on these polls. I'm a bleach fan but theres already way too may battle shonens.

IzVito

I suggest prioritizing short, highly voted series like Bocchi, Erased, Made in Abyss, and Orb. Long shows like Slime or Naruto will tie up the schedule and delay all of these great shorter series for months.

Uzair Ali

Naruto not having a one pace equivalent will make it quite difficult to finish. Best to have one long running show at a time.

Mohamed Musa

Slime and naruto are too long anime, i dont think watching long running animes is good idea considering we already witching my hero,one piece,jojo.

Tsatsa

I’m getting tired of major shounens.. yes they’re good, but it’s just too much shounen… LET’S GIVE OTHER GENRES A CHANCE PLS GUYS

Zen1234

Parasyte : The Maximum. It’s long overdue.

ReCursed

Okay disastrous life od saiki K, overlord, Eminence in the shadow are my favs here. Let's hope fate is in one piece and other long shows bracket. And after one fate finished next one begins 👁👁

Anima

Big bait nice try

Drake Chuckle

Dawgs they are already doing Jojo and One Piece, we don't need another long show like Naruto and slime right now lol

Jared Dudley

I’ve never campaigned for shows I’ve never even seen or cared for but everyone please vote for any show EXEPT Slime (constant creepy/p*dophillia storylines) Wes and Steph are likely to not even enjoy the show due to those aspects

Adam Perez

Please no Naruto, it's too long 😭

The Tangerine Cat

Naruto was the anime I grew up with... but PLEASE, no more typical shounen (unless it's Gintama, that's actual peak). and no Slime please shows like Monster, Orb, and Monogatari series have much more depth, complexity, and nuance Parasyte's good as well and Saiki K is also a good change of pace/genre

mimiyowa

This.. many many times over.. I don't mind having long running shows but a single 60 episode show is equivalent to 5 short ones that different people can enjoy.. variety is good too .. my hero or bunny girl might be the first long running show to go and then it can be replaced by another one of similar length.. idk how else to put it but this is an angle people should consider more.. it's just healthier for us as a community. If we add something like bleach or naruto then those are basically the only shows available for the next 2 years and not everyone will like that.. I certainly wouldn't have anything to tune into (you could argue we'd be replaced by other viewers of these other shows if you want to of course)

Tyler Percival

Can we please just wait on slime and Naruto to watch shorter shows like Made in Abyss or Parasyte??? Pleaseeee

Moroni W

I’m fighting for it as hard as I can fathom, let’s get Monster on the board! It’s like nothing else on the list!

mimiyowa

Replying to the edit (fell for the bait): I'm also not interested in spending 3-4 years to wait for 9->12 to start other shows.. Jesus Christ

Sum Ting Wong

Manifesting Reincarnated as a slime 🙏🙏

Vishwa Joshi

I hope whatever show we get is reasonable amount of long, I am so tired of long shonen .

Aki

I was thinking that maybe Madoka and Bocchi could win this one...

S0ulSp4de

Just hope it will be nothing like Naruto with 100+ Episodes again. There are more shows than long running shounen. Variety is nice. :)

Vishwa Joshi

Let's have different kinda shows like fruits basket, Monster, parasyte,saiki k, bochi! Something that's not long but different and very much worth their time.

PROTOTYPE

hope its Monster its such a goated anime 🙏

Toro E

ZZzzzZZZlime

Vishwa Joshi

Agreed they are one of the few anime reactors who would love the mystery and the physiological drama of it all Wesley would a lot. Also it's just a peak show that's not super long.

Sorin

they enjoyed mushoku and a lot of people hate it so i don't see what slime does that is more controversial than mushoku

Aki

Soon they will finish Boku no Hero and catch up to the weekly One Piece releases. Then they can react to Naruto, Bleach, or even Black Clover. Let's make the other genres win as well

Mufty

Is there a One Pace equivalent for Naruto because the filler on that show can get wild.

RainAbleGlance

"Maybe something that isn't long shounen will win-" *message read by long shounen*

BoomPax

I NEED your lie in April and bocchi the rock, probably 2 of my top 5 favorite animes

Mohamed Musa

We can only dream bro,we can only dream💔💔

Mia

Bocchi, link click, saiki k, or your lie in April. We need a break from all the shonen 😭🙏

Indigo

Naruto YES!!!

Aki

That is not the main issue, to be honest. Anyone can give them a list of episodes to avoid, but the pacing of the normal episodes is just as bad as One Piece

Cooljo

I didn't know slime was that polular. I don't really see the appeal

sperrfeuer

seeing the nominees... i'm assuming the Heaven's Feel movies are going to be the last Fate (or Type-Moon) related media they're reacting to? feels like a shame not seeing the spinoffs + Garden of Sinners

Marcos cruz

Weird take, when Naruto it's pretty much the most reacted show out of all anime...

Hængeklumpen

considering that JOJO is longer than one piece if better paced. 1 episode per week is quite a slow pace.

Mohamed Musa

"If they only care about profits" it really unfair to criticise them for that especially when they didn't watch any of them,plus they dedicate so many hours of their life to entertain us they earn it

Just Mav

@Sorin Absolutely correct. Regarding anything that might be "controversial", mushoku tensei would be the far worse one.

Just Mav

I'm at a point where i just refuse to vote for anything else but slime.

Just Mav

Which is fine. Not every show is for everyone. Me for one, now that Mushoku Tensei is on a break, have no reaction that i am really interested in, but i'd be Interested in slime. I understand that some might dislike season 3, but season 4 was a banger again.

Dieselpunk

Madoka Magica actually made it to a poll for once, I could cry. Just got to hope it will pull through

claymore

Clannad plz😭

Sorin

slime is the top selling light novel of all time, it's really popular

Winda

Better show? No offense if thats the reason why you are advocating for Naruto then thats a little demeaning.

Winda

I know, To be Hero X wont win but a short show to watch would be nice for them especially cause its newer.

RCG

Naruto, Bleach, Black Clover... all the shounen are here. Crazy... Not judging, just a bit surprised and maybe slightly "concerned" but obviously, good luck to everyone’s favorite show! :)

すもも麻子

Because people can differentiate reality and fiction. You know how many books there are on the market that are filled with themes that are criminal & illegal in reality. It's stories, stories mirror real things that are happening in the world, but they are still stories, even if based in reality.

RCG

That’s literally why he asked about a One Pace equivalent, since it cuts out the bad pacing even in the canon episodes. I heard they’re doing something like that for Bleach but I have no clue about Naruto, though.

Fabien

Lol I'm a bit worried Naruto has so many votes (relatively speaking). You have already several very long series (OP and Jojo), one more would be too much I think. Especially considering Jojo is watched at a very slow pace (1 ep per week). Maybe it would be best to reserve only one or two spots for long shonens (with a good pace), and trying other genres in the other spots. Your shot.

RCG

AFAIK, Slime is the show with the most entries in polls and despite coming very close lately, it has never won one.

gruntmaster1

Damn, that is quite the selection.

kiyo

asass class, saiki k or fruits basket PLZZZZ😭

Tyler Percival

Yes made in abyss keeping goinggggg !

Jj

If Naruto does win I would prefer if they reacted to the dubbed just because how amazing the original Naruto dub is

SLF needs more love

Bunny Girl was a lot shorter then Fate, Dr. Stone, My Hero and Jojo's

Mario Prime Plays

Popular doesn’t mean the quality is good. With that said taste is subjective and they can react to whatever they want.

RCG

I totally agree that it’s probably kinda bad to have too many long running shows at the same time. On the other hand, IF yet another long running show wins, it’s because the majority of people want to see that show. Why should they cater to the minority of people who would rather see something else? Also, the majority vote is unified behind one show (the one that’s winning), while the minority is split even further apart, because it’s not like everyone who’s against the long running show would vote for the same short running show. What does “If they only care about profits” even mean? They literally ask the community for recommendations and also give them the freedom to vote between the most recommended shows. They have zero say in what they watch and let the community decide completely, aside from the few shows they occasionally bring in themselves, which are mostly kinda short and just serve as additional reactions on top of the baseline amount we get anyway. It’s not about profit; it’s about pleasing the majority, which I’d say is a good thing. All that said, I'm glad to see MiA winning! (At least so far.)

Ein Diskent

Interesting. Can you tell why they decided they dont wanna watch Arcane? I must have missed that

Super Gamer Q

MADE IN ABYSS WHAT A LEGENDARY SERIES!!

Super Gamer Q

The slime meetings were very poorly executed and made me drop the show personally since the mc was getting too overpowered

Yorutia

Oh lord... guess we gotta brace ourselves for Made in Abyss

Renden

That was last poll. They said they had watched the first bit of it, and already been spoiled on some plot points.

Super Gamer Q

Agreed I would've loved Naruto if they didn't start One Piece or JoJo already, even Fates if they do spin-offs will take a long time to finish

PonPon

Saiki K and Monster would be absolutly lovely

NECOdes

It's finally time to look into the Abyss.

Super Gamer Q

Since you guys already watched a bunch of good isekai (Re:Zero, Konosuba, Solo Levelling, Mushoku Tensei, etc.), it'll be a bit weird to watch a regular Isekai now with Slime. It would be like reacting to SAO; regular Isekai lacks something.

Gavern

The books don't translate well to anime. There are quite a few long stretches in almost every book dedicated to explaining how the new technologies work, and how the city advancement is going. The books are mostly about the city building and politics, which the anime trims down to the bare minimum most of the time.

Armando

Didn’t Naruto win before?

NECOdes

Unless they do double drops (which I don't think so), it's not a good idea to go with Slime. All of the shorter series in this list are great small series for reaction.

Arian Abdolahy

‼️⚠️ Short Anime = More Animes, Long Anime = Less Animes. 💡 Think about this when you cast your vote. We can watch more animes with them together if we choose shorter ones! We can always eventually get to the long ones without needing to miss the ones that are short & sweet and popular right now. ❤️ Bocchi the Rock for example is fun, wholesome, for anyone with social anxiety and only has 12 EPISODES! 🌞 Orb has only 25 episodes and is probably one of the deepest things they could watch and discuss!

Sorin

there's an impostor in your isekai list

Sarah Feng

YESSSS SAIKI MADE IT ONTO THE POLL

Arian Abdolahy

Instead of lamenting let's share with people what makes these shows great. That's how fate won too. I'm also all for Orb and Bocchi or any other short anime. So, let's write new comments where we share what we love about these shows.

Arian Abdolahy

I'm all for short animes like Bocchi the Rock, Orb and also Your Lie in April, even if I don't know it yet. Let's make new comments where we share what we love about these shows, comment on each others comments and hype it up. So that people can see why it's worth watching! Together we're stronger! If we choose shorter animes we get to watch more shows with them!

Let's make new comments where we share what we love about these shows, comment on each others comments and hype it up. So that people can see why it's worth watching! Together we're stronger! Personally I'm for Bocchi and Orb but I support every short anime here and I hope you can support other short animes too. With short ones we can watch more animes overall and get to all of them cause they will be over faster.

D

i have yet to find a good reaction channel reacting to Clannad. Please do Clannad. I'd love to rewatch it along with you two and i'm curious to see how you think about the things going on in Clannad. Especially when After Story starts

Arian Abdolahy

Bocchi the Rock has only 12 episodes, it's funny, wholesome and highly relatable for anyone with social anxiety. Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is deep, tells the story different than any other anime, will inspire very philosophical discussions and is only 25 episodes. If we choose shorter animes we get to watch more shows with them!

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth is deep, tells the story different than any other anime, will inspire very philosophical discussions and is only 25 episodes. And I'm sure there are other great short animes on there! Let's support each other. If we choose shorter animes we get to watch more shows with them!

Sergey (Horn)

Another thing that’s a little disappointing is that the options in the poll aren’t really on equal footing — not only in terms of length, but also in terms of popularity. Obviously, if you put Bleach, Naruto, and Made in Abyss in the same poll, they’re going to beat almost anything else. It would feel a bit fairer, for lack of a better word, to have several separate polls — one with only the more popular options competing against each other, and another with the less popular ones. That said, I understand that the whole structure of YouTube and Patreon is basically designed to reward choosing the MOST popular options. So the approach I’m suggesting might simply be less beneficial for the creators.

RCG

No, otherwise they would've watched it. ^^

Alvaro Vesga

What are those "p*dophillic themes" You are talking about? Idk, I watched that anime like 6 years ago and the last season I saw was like 2 years ago but I don't remember anything sus like that, genuinely asking btw maybe I have Bad memory

Arian Abdolahy

If you're creative and have social anxiety, Bocchi the Rock is highly relatable, funny and for me personally it made me feel more comfortable with my social anxiety & cptsd. Cause I've never been able to relate so much (besides Mob Psycho). And it showed me that even with a lot of anxiety people will support and love you for who you are.

Super Gamer Q

How did you put an image in your text? I always wanted to do that

Subarun

I want a blowout victory for MiA this time. No close polls. Finally, it's time to shine

RCG

Naruto, Bleach and Made in Abyss were in previous polls and never won before. Naruto and Bleach aren't even close to winning this poll. I'm actually happy to see Made in Abyss winning (at least for now), since I'd say it's more of a niche show. This is like the fifth poll for MiA and it hasn't even come close to winning so far. I hope it wins this time. How do you even want to categorize these shows? It's literally all subjective taste. As seen from your statement that shows like Naruto, Bleach, etc. would easily win every poll. I get it, there are certain shows that are really good or at least some people think they're good, that probably will never win a poll. But that's just how it is. Why should they force less popular shows that only a fraction of the community wants to see?

The Anime Dude

Tis why I only really voted for shorter shows, but alas… guess we’ll have to wait to see if we were outnumbered or not.

Xan

Just voted Made in abyss and I would like to formally apologize to Wes and Steph if it wins for the trauma we are about to induce.

Tyler Percival

ALSO think about it. If you want to rewatch made in abyss otherwise- you’d have to get a subscription to HIDIVE!

The Anime Dude

yall really gotta stop just calling everything you dislike pedophilia, you’re watering down the word for cartoons… & Tanya of all things? what is even your criteria, that it has a kid character in it?? Tanya is a solid show.

The Anime Dude

Fingers crossed for Eminence in Shadow, monster, orb, or Clannad 🤞 Voted for basically all the short shows though tbh, even if I like Naruto & Slime… would rather wait then do them alongside the long running shows they have now.

Runhua Tang

Is it finally happening?? Is MiA finally actually winning this time??? Slime fans, let's negotiate: We do MiA for this one, and I swear to God I'll vote with you guys next time. There's only like 25 episodes of MiA. You guys can get your turn very quickly.

Michael H

Tanya, easy. Short and awesome.

Dank Waifu

Mia might actually win, I've voted for it every time they've had a poll. Finally 😂

Fabien

For Fate I think the plan was only to see the main stuff, thus to stop after Heaven's Feel, and maybe do other polls for the rest. That's what was originally written at least (Zero-> UBW-> HF). For the long shonens yeah, I think it's better to do only a few of them but maybe faster, like 2 eps per week.

Fabien

Yeah lol. It's a total masterpiece but I don't know if it will be their thing, they're very sensitive to stuff about children, and Made in Abyss can be very brutal and very weird. But fondamentally, it's probably the best anime in the list yes.

daniel vivanco

It’s crazy that Oregairu never made it to the final poll, considering it’s a top-3 romance anime of all time.

Darren

To Be Hero X pleaseeeee 🙏🏼 feel like there's hardly any reactions to this since it was airing and it's a great variation of the superhero genre, not long either!

Aountú

Heres hoping Eminence in Shadow can get 2nd place, fingers crossed!

Aountú

Yep, put SNAFU right next to it

Aountú

Like this comment if you want Eminence in Shadow to be 2nd place! They sometimes listen to 2nd places...

DammitDog

I think it's been enough time, I'm ready to cry watching Made in Abyss again.

ITO Kanako

At this point slime only wins if there is no good shows left in few years lol

kittycatpumpkin

Made in Abyss is far above the others in votes at 1st, I'm so proud of this community 🥹

Koko

LET'S GO!

mimiyowa

Oh I see Madoka Magica and Made in Abyss at the top.. fricking shows made for children winning again smh \j

Jonno

Wtf are you talking about Tanya the Evil is a Military War Drama there is essentially zero sexualisation of any of the characters It's a show military history nerds more than anything else so you dont know what your talking about

Holy Arathi

Dude I’ve been voting for made in abyss for like 4-5 polls now.

NeoArc

Looking good for made in the abyss right now, its a show that i know you guys will enjoy!?. Also i totally agree with people that are suggesting separate polls for shorter and longer shows, maybe only start the longer ones after you guys finish or get towards the end of your current long shows.

Ale

I just hope they'll watch Clannad someday :( They would loveeeee it! I think the fact that it's an older anime and the animation might not appeal as much to today's anime fans could be putting them off. I really hope someone gives it a chance

Aaron Wright

Lol, Bochi the Rock 8 episodes or Bleach/Naruto 400+ One feels like more of a committment than the other :P

ChrisGrump

Just slime. Idc about the rest.

Subarun

Clannad will never win a normal poll with new gen, but it already won a poll in our hearts

Alkampus

4 long running shows already I feel like we should be looking to give shorter shows a chance. I am bias though.

Gavern

Shangri-la Frontier didn't even make it this time -_-

Cinshadis

I’d sign that pact. I’ve voted for MiA in the polls of reactors so many times…I’d agree to vote for whatever next, if they actually watch Abyss.

Tommy Gatica

Personally voted for Parasyte. Goated series that actually changed my view on life. I can say he same against Monster. Either way I know whatever wins is gonna be good.

Danycan

yes, monster from naoki urasawa is one of the most psicologicly dense mistery series of all time. it feels more like a live action than an anime. my second option would've been overlord for the world building and magic politics but the characters are very plain

Arian Abdolahy

I'm with you. We need to turn this around. My picks are Bocchi the Rock and Orb. What are yours? Your Lie in April is also shorter.

Danycan

parasyte the maxing feels like an anime version of the original Spiderman 👁️‍🗨️ except for the romance

Gichii

I Need this soooo bad qwq pls made in abyss win!!!

Super Gamer Q

I'm very satisfied with the current frontrunner so far

Justin Hutchinson

Madoka magika o.o oh boy, someday I can look forward to seeing y'all's reaction to it and it's movie.

Rai

Pleaseee Win I cannot 😭

David Stern

I need my fruits basket fans to come through

Enticon Yohl

Naruto is a very poorly written show, I wouldn't say it's bad per say but compared to everything else they've watched its definitely not worth sitting through 800 episodes.

Fear

You’re completely right

Musa Stone

Funny how everyone was hating on My Hero Academia in the past. “Wes and Steph won’t like it!” Turns out they like MHA very much. And now everyone’s starting to slime the sh!t out of slime because they personally don’t like it. (pun intended)

Ulises Aragón

Assassination Classroom and Erased have been so long in these polls lmao, I really hope we get one of them this poll

Florida Man

MHA was never a bad show, it was just bad in comparison to other shows on the poll, overall its above average. Slime is in that same category, not a bad anime, just nothing that stands out that is reaction worthy imo

Florida Man

And Slime is one of the few shows that gets worse the longer it goes on, I fell asleep many times with certain episodes. People told me to watch it when I was tired like Japanese people did, I guess it's useful for that at least

Gelondil

Nice, 8/10 of my nominations made it to the list. I can't complain!

Gelondil

@Super Gamer Q It's a mobile-only thing. You can add images to comments the same as you might to text messages.

Nahnah

Ig lord of mysteries won’t be in contention for a spot anytime soon:(

Silver Heinsaar

Objectively, Monogatari would have the best reactions but I've already come to terms with the fact that it will take at least 10+ more polls to get other shows out of the way :P

Gelondil

@Sorin - Technically, all of these are Isekai, including Solo Levelling. But I would agree Solo Levelling is a whole different species of Isekai compared to the others listed. However, this division between "Good" vs "Regular" isekai doesn't make any sense. Mushoku Tensei is the most "regular"-est isekai out there, but it's also really good. Slime is least regular isekai on this list because, well, he's a monster. So maybe "regular" is a poor choice of words. :)

Infinite Winds

Just woke up and haven't even checked what's winning or what people are commenting yet but I'll say this anyway. We're at a crossroads like we've never been before with this poll. Excluding seasonal series, Rascal Does Not Dream was the last short show on the schedule so honestly it doesn't really even matter what wins. Either we get a short series in which case well, it'll be short or we'll lock in the last long running series into the puzzle which will force W&S to reconsider the current system in place or accept that there will never be new polls again for the foreseeable future

Ale

Well ill vote for bocchi and mia because they are shorter and they are close to win, i only watched bocchi tho. Even though I'm a big fan of Naruto (literally the 1st anime that i watched) i prefer them to watch it when they finished one piece or mha

Ale

Literally! Always there but never the winner 😭

Lilmerle L

In total there is 427 skipping filler and how are you going to say it’s poorly written with a black clover profile picture. Naruto isn’t poorly written just because it has flaws 😭 the character development, foreshadowing, and themes of loneliness, hatred, and breaking the cycle of revenge are genuinely well written. Characters like Naruto, Sasuke, and Pain all show different perspectives on those themes. It’s not perfect, but saying it’s poorly written ignores how much depth the story actually has.

Just Mav

When slime gets through, i'll finally Vote for eminence

Peaceful Remedy

Naruto reactions have been how I’ve found most of my favourite creators personally. Sure it has patches of meh pacing (just like bleach, one piece) but I’d argue that it’s an amazing show for reactions to the point where I’m surprised they haven’t started watching it yet. But hey this is all subjective anyway so we can’t agree on everything

Peaceful Remedy

I understand concerns about the long running shows but if the eminence in shadow of all things beats out Naruto… all hope is lost

Peaceful Remedy

Literally every other option on this list is so much more entertaining I can’t wrap my head around why people love it?

Peaceful Remedy

Anything but the Eminence in Shadow 😭 I was forced to drag myself through the show because of my gf but I dreaded every watch session. I genuinely don’t understand why it gets so many votes when we have this many good options? Can a voter explain?

Atlas Creation

Well the thing is.. MHA is actually a good and well written show. Plus, it’s not to say that they won’t enjoy slime—they most likely will—but that doesn’t mean the show doesn’t have its problems such as shallow writing, degrading plot, bad pacing, etc

Dekent

100% agree with this, if they were watching just bleach/naruto/one piece/screaming asta for the next 5 years i'd drop my support. Anything with 100+ episodes really should be in it's own 'slot'

Dekent

Months? you mean years lol

Marco Nodo

I only read the manga (not even the LN) but I rember it being quite funny. Maybe that's why. Does the anime botch it though? Idk

Carlo Marasigan

If you like that, I bet you will love ORB.

Maddd

they need another highschool anime like monogatari series or clannad to balance their emotions guys

Mr. Simple

well ggs for the classroom of the elite and eminence in the shadow 🫠🥲

Stevie Wonder

Praying for Bocchi, it’s so good and quickly done, you could get to next show afterwards. Maybe a slot designated for shorter series? :)

Sei_2002

The humour doesn't hit as much in the anime compared to the manga but in terms of everything else it's way better. Visually very good action and direction but it's probably like 70-80% fanservice (mainly Delta).

Sei_2002

Honestly, I wish Lord of the Mysteries got more attention. I've been enjoying their fate discussions and I feel Lord of the Mysteries could bring that level of content (if not better) from them. It combines elements of religion, mythology, occultism and various literary influences in a very intricate way and the cast is god-tier in more ways than one lol.

Mr. Simple

what is not to like? it’s just a fun series. true, maybe humor not for everyone.. but what humor is?

Mr. Simple

what not to like? it’s a very fun series. maybe humor not for everyone, but what humor is?

Coolguy38

honestly, I agree despite being a fan of eminence in shadow, I just can't imagine them really enjoying it very much and having in depth discussions about it like they do for amines like fate

pigbo

They'd really like Parasyte. So good, but unfortunately so underrated. PARASYTE FTW!

Alex5AVA6E

When are we getting Infinity castle?????

Honeybadger

"Very quickly" is still half a year at 1 ep/week :D

mimiyowa

Sorry SLF, I didn't really watch it so I mistakingly thought it was longer, I looked it up and it's not really that long and there are better examples

mimiyowa

RCG I think it's important to understand voting systems and their failures.. To simplify let's assume everyone gets one vote (in this case.. since there is no capturing of preference.. it's a decent simplification). You have 5 options A, B, C, D, E A: 500, B: 450, C:480, D: 495, E: 510 E wins, but can we really say that E is the majority ? well no.. but we can say that E had more votes than A, B,C and D. Without getting into the weeds does that make sense ?

yeaterknine

where is Psycho-Pass? nobody remember this masterpiece? cmon

Sorted Jovanny

Looking fir hunter x hinter ep but they are gone

Gelondil

Any show is going to feel worse if you're being pressured to watch it. But if you don't understand why people like it, maybe ask your gf to explain? Not every show is for everybody, but to explain why someone likes it it also needs you to explain why you didn't.

Gelondil

I get the suggestions of short vs long categories, but I don't understand "popular" vs "less popular". Why would you have a poll that excludes popular anime? Why would you choose to have W&S deliberately not watch the best content available? What value is gained from this? Now, if by "popular" you mean "mainstream" anime with high viewership but lower reviews, vs less commonly watched "niche" anime then that's a different story. But MIA doesn't belong in your list if this is the case, since it's an example of the latter category. If this is what you mean, then you probably already figured out your answer: 500 people liking an anime 70% is more viewers than 100 people liking an anime 100%

Ethereal

In terms of character analysis it can't get better than the Monogatari series.

Ethereal

Eminence is #3.

Ethereal

Naruto is #5 and Bleach is #18. While popularity is a factor, it's clearly not the only one.

Sorted Jovanny

Thanks bit if you look manny are missing

Just Mav

@Florida Man - It's just the 3rd Season that drops a bit, 4th Season got better again.

Dakota Lehigh

Slime and classroom of the elite both a bangers but so is eminence. All good choices but man hard to choose

Tim Tim

Damn, I voted for like half of choises, so many good animes. And damn, Made in Abyss finally winning?

Dani

okay i’m just warning you guys that the author of made in abyss is definitely a pedophile. I thought the world and story was really interesting but it’s extremely obvious and disgusting with how shameless the author shoves pedophilic fetishes into the show

Wurzeldieb

The anime toned it down, Mushoku Tensei for example is worse

Dani

yeah that show is also bad with it, but i just remember the weird naked child scenes and the poop fetish stuff, and a lot of characters being half naked little girls

Andrea Duquette

I beg erased it’s been in the polls since forever and it’s only 12 episodes 😭

KHswag 36

Investing hard into monogatari

Just Mav

Part of the Community here just hating and stepping over tensura, voting out of spite that anything else but tensura wins, makes me genuinely sad.

rryutie

oh come on. wes and steph are the FURTHEST from reactors that only care about money. they are some of the more genuine reactors around.

rryutie

OG naruto yes. In shippuden, it never disappoints and becomes arc after arc of entertainment.

rryutie

If by monogatari series they mean bakemonogatari and the others, then that'd be fire. they would for sure pause and lock in for the subtitles lmao. i reaaaally hope my teen romantic comedy can at least make it on a future poll 😭

elan d

Pleaseee Made in Abyss has to win it this time, slime fans vote MiA this time and i'll vote slime next!! MiA has only 20+ episodes you'll get your turn very soon!

mimiyowa

a lot have gotten copyright struck

Super Gamer Q

Made in Abyss will definitely win, this is not a close poll, this is basically considered a landslide victory for how close their polls are normally

Subarun

This investment will start paying off in 3 years

Zane

Hey guys, I'd like to please request people vote for Made in Abyss. There are multiple reasons for this: - We've been voting Made in Abyss for years and its always just shy of the top options consistently - It has some of the best world building in anime, which Steph and Wes would love as evidenced by their reactions to various anime over the years such as AoT, One Piece, Mushoku etc. - Its a relatively short anime, just 24 episodes and a movie and would be a great break from the shonen they've been reacting to currently - Their is an upcoming movie, so reacting to the anime would prepare them for that aswell Please consider voting for Made in Abyss, it would be so great to see it win after all these years.

banlungx001

nice result , when they finish heaven feels , i can save 7usd a month !!

Dewayne Johnson

I’m sooo happy been waiting for this!!!

mimiyowa

damn.. phrasing it that way you must've had a really bad day :c I guess you won't be here for the strange Fake reaction then

Comte

my brother just another me

Arian Abdolahy

I didn't realize Made in Abyss was also short with only 25 episodes and a movie. Felt much longer to me, lol. So, I'm also rooting for MiA and I hope we can pull together and keep chosing the short ones first before we consider longer shows.

RCG

I agree that every system has its flaws, even though your example is kinda extreme, especially considering how close the results are. To be honest, I think that with only one vote per person, it would be a lot more one sided. Most of the less popular shows would get even fewer votes than they already do. At the end of the day, we're voting on TV shows. There's no need to turn it into rocket science. Some people take this stuff way too seriously. If your show doesn't win, just try again next time. There are like 10 other shows they watch and if you really don't like any of them, just take a break and come back in a few weeks. (I don't mean you with that ^^, I'm just generalizing. Obviously, it's fine to discuss preferences and possible changes to improve things.) As I said before, I'd prefer a few shorter shows too (go MiA!) but if a longer one wins, it's cool aswell.

RCG

It’s because of copyright strikes. They’re trying to fix it but it will probably take a while.

RCG

Not the biggest fan either but the first half of the first season is pretty funny. After that, though, I kinda lost interest. @Coolguy38 I totally get you and would even agree that the show could be a “miss” for them but not every show has to have deep discussions to be enjoyable.

mimiyowa

Yes, the voting behavior would change in that case taking split-voting and what-not into account but my point is moreso disagreeing with "the majority picked this so everyone will be happy", this extends beyond voting for things to react to. Otherwise I agree with everything you said, and I personally consistently voted for MiA and Madoka Magica for 2.5 years now so I'm quite pleased with the results ! The only other thing I always pushed back on (and I know you never said this but I'm talking about other people here) is having too many long running shows *at the same time*. If they pick up One Piece, Bleach and Naruto at the same time on top of other shows of similar length that means overall there is less of everything for everyone for the next 3 years. Even if I like bleach I still would be unhappy because I want to try different things (lots of shows I only watched because of people reacting to them). if they drop everything and just react to long running shows that's fine with me because I'll be here for interesting seasonal slots (cour 2 of MT, apothecary, cyberpunk, etc.)

RCG

Right? I felt the same way. “There’s no way it’s actually this short.” It’s probably the “heavy” themes of the show that give you the illusion that you spent way more time with it.

RCG

I wouldn’t vote for either of them but if I had to choose, I’d pick the one that doesn’t have 500+ episodes, to be honest.

RCG

Is your whole thing going around trying to use the word “pedophile” as much as possible in the comments? But thanks for the “warning".

RCG

I'm surprised too. I thought it would be way more popular. At least the first season was really good. I keep recommending it but it never makes it into the poll :(

RCG

Soon!

Super Gamer Q

I really hope they do all the fate series spin off like fate strange fake, and that it doesn't need to win another poll later

DammitDog

This time, Dani has a point. I love Made in Abyss, but we can't ignore the obvious fetishes from the author, I want them to react to it, but never praise the author since he's pretty gross

Keiran Muntfront

If naruto wins i hope you watch in dub, its one of the best english dubs ever gaaras scream during chunin exams gives me chills every time

mimiyowa

MiA is pretty short but it took me a year to have the courage to watch the movie then more courage to watch s2 and then I couldn't finish s2 because that stuff at the end was way too much for me lol. I also could only watch it through reactions, it's a bit heavy to watch by myself. Hopefully this time I can finish s2 (obv. might have to cover half the screen while watching lol)

Hængeklumpen

okay, imma be this guy. Made in Abyss while having a good first season..... Is creepy. and not in wow good story telling way. but in a i think the author needs to be locked up way. The sexualization of kids in that show if wack. and don't get me started about the comments the author has made....

Aountú

You are correct. I think they can do what they did with Mushoku Tensei and just watch the show and they should be knowing the author is a horrible person

Bern Zion

I think its about time for Naruto guys :)

Hængeklumpen

Mushoku tensei at least have a slight excuse to be plot relevant.... but made in abyss.... straight up fetish bait....

Erik Perez

Naruto blows up reaction channels. The most popular reaction channels have all watched or are watching Naruto

idov

They have to watch Saiki ! we have way too many shounens already🥲

Sorin

is there like any proof he's a bad person that did something wrong in reality and not only questionable drawings? this is only a moral witch hunt in western countries. you can't just call someone to be locked up without actual real evidence just because he's weird or creepy

Sergey (Horn)

Gelondil, because “popular” ≠ “best content available.”

Sergey (Horn)

Not “Naruto, Bleach, etc. would easily win every poll,” but yes, on average they have a much higher chance of winning — they’re literally some of the most popular anime shows in the world. As for “Why should they force less popular shows” — no one is suggesting that Wes and Steph should be “forced” to watch something they don’t like. The main point is simply that “more popular with the general audience” does not automatically mean “good,” let alone “the best.” Nothing more than that. What they choose to watch is ultimately up to them anyway.

Sergey (Horn)

P.S. Made in Abyss is incredibly overrated. It has a great premise and a potentially fascinating world, but the first 5–8 episodes (aside from the very first one) are pretty weak and filled with pointless violence. Yes, that violence is meant to show how cruel and dangerous the world is, but it’s portrayed in a deliberately excessive and exaggerated way. Ozen’s fight with the kids, which is supposedly meant to be some kind of test, also comes across as completely unreasonable. I honestly don’t even remember whether I finished the first season in the end — that’s how disappointed I was by this whole “violence for shock value” approach. Not only does it feel insulting to the audience, it also stops being effective very quickly. I wouldn’t call it a bad anime. But “overrated”? Absolutely. It gets recommended incredibly often, and I’ve seen it compared to Frieren more than once, even though, in my opinion, they’re simply not on the same level. Important note: I’m talking exclusively about my impressions of the first season. The second season hadn’t even come out yet when I watched it.

Sei_2002

They're already watching 4 long shounen series currently (JoJo, One Piece, MHA, Dr Stone). I think Naruto should be held off until one (or multiple) of those slots open up.

Philsi

MiA simply shows the ugly side of mankind and explores what might happen in a world where there are no authorities to hold them accountable for their actions.

banlungx001

not even making into the poll , i am sad TT perfect for analysis too !!

banlungx001

1st season and the shambala movie is 10/10 / SS2 is 0/10 !!

banlungx001

ahh not a bad day !! just , while it s not like i urgently need money , but a bad deal is still a bad deal to me , and pay 7usd just to watch 8ep of fate reaction a month is a bad deal to me !! i guess i feel stupid for subscribe to such a bad deal so far just because i want to watch their ubw reaction (i already scout their old reaction and watch what i want already like death note/chainsawmen) thx for the concern though !!

Musa Stone

@Florida Man @Atlas Creation - You guys are kinda missing my point. I’m not arguing that Slime is better than MHA, or even that Slime is good. My point is that before they watched MHA, people were confidently saying Wes and Steph wouldn’t like it because they didn’t like it. Then Wes and Steph ended up really enjoying MHA. Now the exact same thing is happening with Slime. People who personally dislike it are already saying they’ll get bored, won’t like later seasons, etc. Maybe they won’t. Maybe they will. We don’t know yet. Your opinion on a show isn’t necessarily a prediction of theirs. That’s literally my entire point.

YutaGoat

Made in Abyss is dominating hard. It would take 80 votes for even 2nd place to take it. This is a well-deserved victory, they were in the poll but lost for years, for far longer than most

YutaGoat

Made in Abyss is not a shounen.....

YutaGoat

This is a masterclass from Made in Abyss, what a victory

YutaGoat

frontrunner since the beginning mate

YutaGoat

Bocchi season 2 is coming out and she still can't win lmao. Where is the Bocchi hype gone? We will never get this show at this rate

Aki

It's steadily growing and keeps appearing on every poll. One day, it is sure to win

Cinshadis

Every day I'm logging in, so stoked that Made In Abyss is holding on. 🎉 Wes & Steph: You need to know something about watch order! There are three movies and two seasons, but the first two movies are just the first season in movie form, so you can watch either the first season OR the first two movies. Then you need to watch the third movie, "Dawn Of The Deep Soul", BEFORE you go to season 2. If you do the movies, it might actually help y'all knock this series out really fast - three movies and one season, and you'll be caught up.

Super Gamer Q

nearly 100 votes from Made in Abyss to the next highest! We are guaranteed to win it

elan d

YESS MADE IN ABYSS (OHIO)

Cinshadis

I'm not celebrating til the 18th when they call it. I've been disappointed too many times before to trust any early trends. 😅

The Anime Dude

I’m excited that Made in Abyss is winning, but a little anxious about what comes after in case they do multiple shows from this poll. I’mma watch & enjoy whatever, I don’t dislike Slime & I really like Naruto, but I feel like a hater cheering for them to lose. 😭

Hængeklumpen

@Sorin yes there are quite alot actually

Super Gamer Q

What other times were you disappointed? Such a huge gap for the top has never happened on anime polls

Sorin

if it's about him saying weird stuff about fictional characters or drawing weird stuff about fictional characters i can assure you no one really cares besides the witch hunters online. until there's actualy evidence that he did something to real people he's innocent no matter how many angry people with fictional pitchforks say nonsense about him

Dani

well yeah when something is pedophilia it’s morally wrong and should be pointed out

Dani

Exactly. Like i think the premise of the show is actually awesome and i would have loved it if it were made by a better author

Dani

i think a lot of the people voting just want the most niche anime’s to win rather than having them first go through the big anime classics

Dani

Nah you’re right i was mainly talking about made in abyss. Still think tanya is very weird though

Jonno

You probably need to watch it to understand its nothing like what it gets portrayed. Even the first episode is a bit of red herring. Tanya has been put into a girls body because God was trying to force an atheist and Rationalist into being hopeless so that they would actually develop Faith and Tanya is living life to essentially telling God to f off.......its like a reverse bible tale mixed with Alternate World War 1&2

Cinshadis

Weird how the brain elongates traumatic experiences in memory. XD

Cinshadis

I'm holding out hope that once Heavens Feel is done we can convince them to see Fate/Strange Fake as well. :3

Cinshadis

Yep. Time to watch some wilderness survival challenge shows to desensitize. XD

Cinshadis

Made OF children.

AspiringScholar

As someone who considers Madoka to have the tightest writing of any media I've consumed - as close to a 10 out of 10 experience as I'll give - I find it darkly appropriate that in a comment section at war with itself about every other option, Madoka is just quietly and politely sitting there in 5th place twiddling its thumbs, virtually unremarked upon, waiting.

wl

You all have the most Reddit-tier taste imaginable...

RCG

Madoka is amazing and genuinely surprising, especially because it differs from the stereotypical aspects usually associated with the genre. However, considering this is the very first time Madoka has even made it into the poll, I’d say it’s doing pretty well, to be honest.

RCG

Thanks for the insight, buddy.

d34ddud3

I think it's about time a new Patreon tier might be necessary... It seems like there's a lot more anime to watch than you guys can balance (especially thanks to so many of the long options being good. I'd even consider Assassination Classroom and Fruits Basket kinda long.), so I would recommend a new tier to shift voting power in favor of long-term viewers while simultaneously maybe increasing your income enough to pay someone else to spend time editing instead of you guys, so it would be easier to just do reactions and maybe open up one or two more timeslots. I'd say move voting and nominations to a $10 tier and have the $5 tier not have voting or nominations. Just my pitch, but I think it could work out to allow more reactions and narrow down voting privileges to people who are probably here long-term rather than just coming in for a specific franchise and then casting their own votes and nominations they might not stick around for. Also I would vote that if any new timeslots got added they'd be used to do two episodes for existing timeslots. That balance between enough variety in shows and getting through shows at a good pace is important. Just some ideas/suggestions. I'm still fairly new. Came around because of your Fate/Zero reaction and I've been watching all your AOT, FMA, Solo Leveling, Frieren, Re:Zero, and other reactions. I think I'm gonna be a long-timer, and I'd be willing to jump a tier higher if it meant maintaining voting privileges and fitting more reactions.

d34ddud3

Never heard of Made in Abyss, but I gotta say I think we're both getting what we want. Y'all are definitely up first though based on the poll numbers I see, we're just close behind.

d34ddud3

Bocchi the Rock was my pick for that. I do think it'd be nice if they had happier shows in the rotation. Like one Bocchi, K-ON!, or Kinmoza type of anime in rotation always. I appreciate most anime genres and there's a distinct lack of slice of life.

RCG

People are just biased and trying to justify that they don’t like a show. Every show that even makes it into the poll is usually already above average. And let’s be real, they obviously try to highlight the good things about the shows they’re watching, just like all reactors do. It’s almost impossible for them to dislike a show that wins a poll. Any show that gets recommended a ton and then also receives the most votes must have something going for it, even if it has some flaws. And I’m saying that as someone who isn’t a Slime fan. :)

RCG

Most people just want them to watch whatever they consider to be the "best". It’s that simple. Also, almost every previous poll has been won by very popular/mainstream shows.

RCG

Yes, the show has weird stuff that I also don't like but that doesn't change the fact that you're literally just making stupid accusations about someone because you feel a certain way about the show. Also, nobody is praising the author, so why even talk about him at all? Talk about the show, if anything. What does a person you literally know nothing about have to do with how much you like something? That's just plain crazy to me. If you want to criticize something, criticize the bad/weird aspects of the show like a normal person.

RCG

Just a bit above your comment, someone is calling Slime out for pedo stuff. Tanja was also mentioned by the other guy who's calling everything pedo. A while ago, there was someone in the One Piece reactions calling Oda a pedo. It seems like every anime and/or author is being called a pedo nowadays. People are crazy. If anything, talk about the show. Stop fantasizing about weird stuff involving people you literally don't know and never will know. This isn't Twitter; nobody needs this here.

AspiringScholar

Oh I fully agree. I'd be shocked if it was chosen - happy, but shocked. I just thought it was fun that it had snuck up to 5th place while simultaneously having almost no mention in an otherwise very active comment section. Somehow seemed very, in a meta way, Madoka of it to quietly and unassumingly sneak up from behind.

Dani

Are you purposefully being obtuse? I have every right to call someone a pedophile when they made a story that heavily includes sexualization of children and fetishes involving children. Im criticizing the anime by pointing out that the author is likely attracted to children as evident through multiple scenes in the show.

Sorin

It's wild to me that there are crusades on random manga authors because they are a bit weird or draw stuff that some people find creepy. And then people make some random head cannons how someone belongs in jail for no reason. You can't just call everyone a pedo over random art or weird stuff they said about fictional characters that's not how that works.

CD Elio

Bro there are so many long running series I would like them to react atleast some of the short ones that are completed, maybe orb or monster or summertime for the love of entertainment.

Sorin

He didn't sexualize any children, he sexualized his manga FICTIONAL CHARACTERS that he created. How is that evidence he's attract to REAL children? Is someone that loves playing shooters suddenly someone that wants to shoot real people? It's insane how many people can't distinguish reality from fiction anymore. You should spend less time on social media if your head is so wrapped up in calling random people you don't know anything about a pedo.

Gelondil

Yes, “popular” is not always the “best content available" but that very often is the case. I would wager to guess that some of your very favorite anime meet both criteria. Most of these anime W&S have already watched, but after that, there are "runners up" that still manage to be "runners up" in both categories. As RCG asked, and I am asking is, how do you define the categories, a question you have yet to answer. Can you qualify how you would split shows in two categories and also be "fair"? What would qualify an anime nomination to be on one list and not the other? Viewer count? MAL ratings? Accolades? What?

Subarun

Tier for voting power? They don't have polls every month for people to buy the $10 tier instead of the $5 tier. I always loved how you get everything in one tier, and we kept it simple for everyone.

Subarun

I stopped watching Slime in Season 3 and the episodes with constant meetings, is Season 4 good? I know Yaboyroshi also stopped because of Season 3 and many of my irl friends did. It's a shame, I would've started the Light novels if it had not felt boring

Just Mav

Season 3 is more about politics and meetings etc. That is true, but season 4 gets back from it again and is more actionpacked again.. As i wrote in another comment, i absolutely understand the criticism, but one also needs to remember that in its core Tensura is a KingdomMaker-isekai.

Florida Man

This vote is so long. We got to vote from Wednesday to Sunday, we almost never get this much time. I think the results won't change anymore no matter how long it goes

Barry

Vote in bloc and your show will eventually be the next non shounen/isekai pick!

Nina

Omg it might just be time, hold your breath lads

Florida Man

Made in Abyss will be the most voted series we have ever had, more than JoJo at 572.

I understand. Though I would love to keep it simple like that I'd be willing to give up the simplicity if it meant the people who actually stick around for W&S generally are the majority of votes rather than if a huge chunk of the Naruto fandom popped in, voted and nominated a bunch of stuff then dipped. How W&S analyze things isn't for everyone just like people who mostly react at the surface level without stopping to go into deeper thought aren't generally for W&S viewers. If only Patreon had other options, such as unlocking features based on how long you've been a part of the channel. I'd be fine if voting unlocked after a year. In fact I think that'd be better than another tier and there's probably a lot of better ways than another tier. Just not any I can think of that's plausible to do on Patreon.

Peter II

Sword Art Online?

Aly

Honestly Monster is one of the animes that i genuinely think suit Wes and Steph's style and interests :/

Infinite Winds

The series doing well on the poll currently, have been doing well on the polls for years. Naruto for example has placed in the top ten as early as 2023. So, the will of the long term viewers is in alignment with what is being voted on today. Your worries are unfounded on that front

Gelondil

Are you seriously disparaging the entire community based on the results of a poll spread across 25 anime? Aren't you part of this community, too? Where are your votes?

Gelondil

To be fair, Naruto has a snowball's chance of being watched, as it's been sitting comfortably in 5th place on this poll since it started. Slime, otoh, might replace one of the current long-running series when they come to an end. Especially since it was a close second on the last poll.

Nekoda

It’s legit been years since I was waiting for Made in Abyss omg it is time

The Anime Dude

There are only 5 with 400+ votes, & slime / Naruto are two of them - so while slime has the edge… I just never count Naruto out. Believe it. (I voted for all 3 of them besides Naruto & Slime. They’re all solid shows though.)

banlungx001

i wont call 8 months "SOON" though

Ale

yall think bocchi could made it to top 2? it's only 12 episodes... i prefer that than 90+ episodes tbh

Gelondil

It would need to make up ~30 votes in 2 days just to get to #3, which isn't happening. It would need ~60 votes to pass Slime at #2. This is definitely not going to happen. More likely is to hope for a "dealer's choice" and them picking it out of sequence, knowing it's only a couple eps.

Raketen Sven

That sounds pretty bad ngl. Why would the author make a story that was fun and action packed and interesting and turn it to a different show genre with politics. we did not want that in slime, we get enough of that in real life

Alvaro Vesga

Wes & Steph, It seems like you pay more attention to comments than to direct messages so I will write this here. I hate to be "that guy" but I just want to warn you about the show that won your Anime poll since it seems like you go into the shows totally blind, please beware, that show contains extreme gore and disturbing/uncomfortable scenes with child and child like characters. I'm not telling you if you have to watch it or not, you will decide that yourselves, but please be aware that kind of content is show reiterative in that story. PD: I'm not a softie when it comes to anime, I watch any kind of genre even the most "sensitive" ones(ecchi, horror, gore) but I really think this anime deserves a warning of this kind, specially since it seems to me in all your reactions that you are really sensitive about children suffering on shows

Gelondil

I've been thinking of how to respond to this, if at all, and after a lot of deliberation, here's my take: You are correct about your criticism of the anime's content, and it's probably even warranted to give a warning to the effect of, "this anime includes sexually suggestive content featuring minors." Beyond that, the anime should speak for itself. As you said, "it's extremely obvious". If so, that warning is sufficient, so why not just let W&S watch and make their own judgements? I think there's a big difference between warning someone about a piece of media's content, and bringing up an author's personal life. For example, if someone were about to watch Wizard of Oz, I wouldn't spoil the experience by saying "hey, the author of this story advocated for the genocide of native americans". For MIA, there's a big difference criticizing the manga/anime's disturbing content and saying the author is "definitely a pedophile". One is a pragmatic discussion about his work, one is an inflammatory commentary about his personal life, of which we can only speculate. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying this is a conversation that might be better suited to different venue or approach. This is an anime-watching channel, after all.

Infinite Winds

While Made in Abyss has almost certainly won it, it's a bit rude to talk about it as if it has already won before the poll is even over. Also, if you want to reach them with this disclaimer you'd more likely get it across to them by posting it on the poll winners announcement post to come in the event of Made in Abyss winning

Alvaro Vesga

Well, as you yourself said, it certainly will win given the amount of votes it has, Also, my bad I guess, I didn't even know they make a post announcing the winner, I thought they would just start the show after it wins the poll. Just wanted to give them an early warning so they can decide what they wanna do

elan d

Made in Abyss is finally getting the limelight it deserves after being 2nd best for ages😭 We've waited so long for this

A.G

Why are all the 5%ers ass anime😭 atleast made in abyss is good, and slime is ok. The good animes are 4% or lower

mimiyowa

not to doodoo on anyone's cake, I use "normie" very loosely to group that category of shows and their audiences, but they're more popular with normie types and they're all connected . someone who came here for a normie anime will vote for more normie animes that they've seen. They're here already for episode 134 of one piece so why not vote to see episode 200 of naruto or the first season of slime (they probably dropped it at the latest one) At least that's what I think is happening

Super Gamer Q

Don't mind me just checking in mere hours before it ends

mimiyowa

smh.. classic toxic wasteland comment section, some people will try to spoil the show that won the poll so.. scroll carefully I guess and enjoy egg witch hat while you're here!

Sunny Dionysus

Just a tad bit of an oversimplification, don't cha think. They should read all the comments not neglect them, I personally clicked like to ensure they look at them all

LOngfirm

I’m glad Made in Abyss won. Here are a few cautions! This show is as depressing/dark as Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, but surprisingly hopeful early on, and will be worse for you guys because it hits the one topic you consistently cry most on this channel: Children. I’m so glad you guys did not watch this show when you were watching Steins; Gate 0, Takopi Original Sin, Re:Zero and HxH Ant Arc; that is just a rotation of depression. This show is dark fantasy, adventure and horror. Be Excited! Be Prepared! But above all, I would say have all your tissues ready; I bet my mortgage you will cry your eyes out, maybe worse than that one DanDaDan episode. I recommend reading some of the heavily liked comments about the winning show just in case there are some valid concerns and you don’t go in blind-sided.

Sunny Dionysus

There is also that little tiny detail about the author “really loving children” (he made a special manga chapter about how much he loves looking at kids irl), so when you watch the show, please don’t appreciate and promote the author, and separate the art from the artist!

Aountú

Made in Abyss author might be top 5 , No i don’t mean mangaka, top 5 sex offender/lolicon

kittycatpumpkin

LOL You almost had me. Bro needs to get his hard drive checked fr. I think its obvious he has a thing for little girls in his drawings, one of the few authors I would never want to meet of a series I like

dilakentfam

Don't worry too much about Made in Abyss being sad or depressing, it only gets that feeling near end of Season 1, the Movies, and most of Season 2. You will be fine for the first few weeks. Do not expect a happy ending, ever. I was traumatized

Sunny Dionysus

Funny that we are trying to give them trauma. "Why did you guys make us watch this??" I can hear Steph already 🤣

Florida Man

Remember a few polls back during Code Geass days, people made posts lying about the Apothecary Diaries being sad. This time they aren't lying about Made in Abyss... I left that show feeling hollow, empty, and interested... like staring into the abyss, the longing.....

kittycatpumpkin

You can see the difference between code geass and made in abyss, the fans were commenting All Hail Lelouch!, Made in Abyss fans just say sigh here we go again

ITO Kanako

Info for if you pick more than one show— Slime (Tensura) season 4 is going to have 60 episodes, with the already existing 72 episodes + more if you include specials and ovas and other shorts content. I do not dislike slime, but this show is simply way too long for your channel who is already committing to a LOT of really long shows like MHA, JOJO, One Piece, Dr Stone, Fate Series, and don’t forget you have the return of the last movie for Rascal Does Not Dream (final movie), and Mushoku Tensei cour 2 returning soon as well as JJK, CSM, Apothecary Diaries and Cyberpunk Edgerunners S2, and you still have a mountain to climb with shows you haven’t gone back to finish off like Kaguya-Sama and Alice in Borderland.

ITO Kanako

TLDR_ For the fans and for your own scheduling, (which is already packed ik) I really do NOT recommend starting Slime just because it is airing or 2nd place , please start a shorter show, and I think the Patreon members would prefer this option, as a lot of comments have already said for shorter shows. E.g. Top comment here has 142 likes

Infinite Winds

If long series should be illegible, W&S would simply have made a rule against nominating any in the first place. It's not ideal for most of us in the audience I agree, but after so many long series being picked up time and time again, it's not really fair for the fans of the next show in line for picking to be told that this is where the line is to be drawn There should be some change to the system, but not one that is retroactively applied after the conclusion of a poll

RCG

I agree. IF you want to make a change, do it before the poll, not afterwards. Didn't vote for Slime and I have no clue if they even pick more than one show (probably not) but it'd be pretty unfair to skip it now for some arbitrary reason. Also, great shoutout to Alice and Kaguya! (I think they forgot about them at this point ^^)

RCG

It’s one of the things I really like about this channel, you don’t have five different tiers but get everything with one simple sub. I don’t even get your thought process here. What do you mean by a bunch of Naruto fans popping in to vote and then dipping? Do you think they sub just for the chance to vote on Naruto and leave if it doesn’t win? There’s no way that’s happening. If anything, you could argue that they’ve attracted more of your “typical shounen” fans after starting MHA and One Piece (which they even picked themselves).

Raketen Sven

I just checked what everyone was talking about and there is a lot of distrubing things about this writer 😰. If I ever catch W&S speak about how great the writer is as a person I will be quite unhappy 😅.

kittycatpumpkin

“hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife, and hide your husband cause they're ****ing errbody out here” like they use to say on that one meme, shoutout to the oldies who remember, yall real ones

RCG

I mean, yeah, some people are trash talking unnecessarily, not just about Slime. But how do you know they’re voting out of spite? Obviously, I don’t vote for a show I don’t like or think is bad.

RCG

Wouldn’t call it a spoiler per se but maybe just let them watch the show without telling them what to expect in detail.

RCG

I mean, giving them a warning that it has some weird content or something is fine but a lot of people are going overboard, in my opinion. W&S adults; they can judge for themselves. Reading all those comments describing how people feel about the show as a whole will give them certain expectations one way or another, which takes away from one of the show’s biggest strengths. It’s the kind of show that just hits harder the less you know about it.

Super Gamer Q

To put into perspective 60 episodes is FMAB (64), Slime is going to be more than two FMABs, barely shorter than mha. They said it is only 1/3 of the Lns too

Super Gamer Q

every made in abyss hate comment are the other fans of the other shows that are just mad they didn’t get their top choice Edit: Nvm, every post has been pretty reasonable. It makes sense to have a warning for this show - I genuinely think they might need it. I wonder why they never praise the animation studio but always praise the author? Hopefully they only praise the animation studio while watching this one

YutaGoat

We all like made in abyss. notice nobody said the story wasn’t good. It won anime of the year at one point. Just read over what everyone said, don’t assume and jump to those conclusions. Nobody said not to watch it. The people that love it are concerned too

Super Gamer Q

I did go back to read and I can understand where they are coming from now.

kittycatpumpkin

Bro stop D riding the pedo, just cuz you like the story you can't admit the writer is a pedo, might as well tell us not to trust our lying eyes, we know and can see what he has done

Subarun

The consensus of comments seems to be: They should watch Made in Abyss without praising the author, knowing that the author has some sick, twisted fetishes or fantasies about the most vulnerable in our society.

Hero of Rhyme

that is pretty much it (and they are all right)

TSP

Why are Reddit tourists like this?

TSP

One Piece... Naruto... how about something good instead?

TSP

Welp, if anyone ever needed proof that anime has been dead for almost a decade, I think that's just about it.

RCG

I don’t understand how people can be so obsessed with authors in general, both the good and the bad ones. Whether I like something shouldn’t depend on whether the person who created it is perceived as good or bad. Also, are you seriously telling me that every story that happens to feature murder, drugs, rape, torture, racism, or whatever other bad things you can imagine directly reflects the author and reveals their “true nature”? It seems like people generally like the show overall. It literally got the most votes ever in a poll, even though I agree that it has some really weird and unnecessary stuff in it. So why is he a bad guy for the bad stuff but he can’t even be acknowledged for the good stuff? Shouldn’t it be either both or neither? All the people who genuinely believe he’s that kind of person, crying in the comments about how awful he is while still watching/liking the show, are just hypocrites, imo.

Keiran Muntfront

Never heard of made in abyss before not sure why its winning maybe because its the first pick

Hero of Rhyme

I might have agreed with 'bad things doesn't reflect the authors true nature' if he did not literally admit to several things that he is literally that person. We are not speculating, he genuinely is just like that

Carlos

Damn... Made in Abyss won... I hope Wes and Steph are prepared for this one. Maybe Reincarnated as a Slime will win next time.

elan d

Umm lets not present online speculations as fact with regards to MiA and the writer. If its really true what some comments here say about the writer, he would be in prison by now, but he isnt, and has never been charged of a crime. These are serious accusations to be throwing around without concrete evidence, and just because you have a different interpretation of the show or the writer's intentions, does not make it true.

Renden

I've updated the Poll History Sheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pxDugCBY9zgSKHUpjE0M8x7EKJ1DrOu9kIDhcvpdLec/edit?usp=sharing Poll Facts! Poll 10 has closed with 8,479 votes, 772 more votes than the previous poll! First place goes to Made in Abyss! The Top 5: • Slime finished in second place with less votes than last poll. In Poll 9, slime had 550 votes (2nd) and in this poll it had 503 (also 2nd). • Eminence in Shadow continues its alternating trend, bouncing back up to 3rd place with 476 votes from to Poll 9's 6th place, with 400 votes. • Bocchi the Rock! continues to slide up the rankings, now in 4th place with 444 votes. • Naruto shows great consistency by being eternally 5th place. It managed to come back a year after being Poll 7's 5th place to also place as Poll 10's 5th place with 430 votes. This Poll has fewer NEW shows than any other prior Poll with only two: Madoka Magica and Link Click. • Madoka Magica performed the best out of any newcomer in the last 3 polls, placing 6th with 399 votes. • Link Click paid the price for Madoka Magica's magic, falling much more in line with the newcomer trend. It placed in 25th, with 132 votes. This Poll has less REVIVED candidates than the previous Poll, but that is because many of the shows featured in Poll 9 made a return in this one: Fruits Basket, Naruto, Your Lie, Parasyte, Saiki K, and Black Clover. • Black Clover and Fruits Basket both return on this poll, missing since Poll 6 in August of 2025. • Of these, Black Clover moved from 23rd to 21st by doubling its votes, while Fruits Basket retained its 24th place spot. • Your Lie in April and Naruto have returned since their appearance in Poll 7. Seven shows that appeared in the previous Poll 9 have DROPPED out: Sword Art Online, Blue Lock, 100 Girlfriends, Danmachi, Shangri-La Frontier, Wind Breaker, and Gachiakuta. • Six of these seven shows landed in the bottom half of the rankings in Poll 9, with the highest being 100 Girlfriends with 244 votes (3%). • The other show, however, was notably the third placer from Poll 9: Sword Art Online. It had 470 (6%) of the votes on the last poll, and was absent on Poll 10. Other notes: • Despite there being 772 MORE votes this Poll than the prior poll, the winner only beat out Poll 9's winner by 12 votes. The rest of the top five in Poll 10 place similarly to Poll 9's. • This is likely because Poll 10's mid-placers were much more competitive than Poll 9's: places SIXTH through EIGHTEENTH all had votes in the 300 counts! (With Saiki K close behind).

Sorin

Do you have proof he's some weird evil person besides fictional content and fictional characters? I hate the push for ending privacy online but in some instances like these where a lot of people just slander someone without any actual proof really makes me wish everyone would need to log in to the internet with their name and everything visible so the person getting slandered can sue some people attacking them just for fictional content.

Hero of Rhyme

You just love to defend PDFs, on every comment even after the poll is over, why can't you let the truth be out. The people you would've defended if you always waited for concrete proof would be a list of EDP445, Kai Cenat, Kris Tyson, Dv4d, Diddy, Colleen Ballinger, James Charles, Dr Disrespect, and many more. You will always defend the people who we knew were pdfs just because they weren't convicted *yet. Believe whatever you want at this point. The truth shall set you free

Hero of Rhyme

You think someone is only guilty if they get convicted? Do you know how many powerful people have not been convicted and charged of a crime or in prison, or have any sort of record at all for their wrongdoing? Someone you admire in literally any career like voice acting, actors, influnecers could be exposed as being a pdf tomorrow. Never be someones #1 Fan. Believe what you see, your 'lying eyes'

Subarun

I felt this poll was one of the less interesting polls, as the first place was far ahead of the others. We had more exciting polls and more comments on some previous polls, even with fewer overall votes and fewer voting days.

elan d

Does that mean you can accuse anyone you think of being a pdf as if its the ultimate truth just because your lying eyes said so? There's a reason why the law exists, if everyone thought like you the world would collapse into chaos. No ones talking about admiring anyone, but serious accusations have weight and real world effects. Look into what happened to the cambridge prof that was accused of plagiarism and the whole media ran with it, people really need to think before they throw around serious accusations.

Super Gamer Q

When those 'accusations' turn out to be true, we would've done more harm than good had people defended them completely and tried to ignore all so called speculation. We should 'accused' or exposed them before bad things could happen. I can list examples but we all know who I'm talking about

Super Gamer Q

@Sorin I find it hilarous that you state how you hate the push for ending privacy online while also stating how much you would want people to have to get sued over someone making comments about what they did, said or wrote in their works. The moment someone you love parasocially online is slandered, you make these posts, but If someone you thought was a creep is revealed you say you knew it all along

elan d

Yeah no, personal feelings about somebody or speculations are not gonna result in that grand justice that you've built up in your head. The law only looks at evidence. So your moral grandstanding argument doesnt work. If you think that you are the law and that you can decide if someone is guilty or not based on your feelings, then whats the point of the legal system? Im sorry but making crazy accusations based on your feelings might not be as positive as you think it is.

Super Gamer Q

"Based on your feelings", I see you want to minimize any evidence. I could show you all the evidence and you would say "Was he in trial?" If he was in trial you would say "Was he guilty?" and if he was guilty you would say "The law/jury/judge/evidence was wrong or corrupt and incorrect and I know better" And our discussion is over before it could start. Think whatever you want, feel whatever you need, tell whatever you have to tell yourself. When we're proven right I won't come back to say We told you so. I have nothing else to say to someone who is set in their thinking.

ITO Kanako

All the comments beat around the bush, failing to say directly what we are trying to convey, which can sometimes have the opposite effect, making the conclusion harder to comprehend when a direct statement would be best. Below, I'll tell you straightforwardly and explicitly.

ITO Kanako

The managaka (Manga creator) is a pedophile. He claims to like children, specifically young blonde girls. Watch the show and see for yourself. He fits the pedophile description as the girls he likes are prepubescent (age >13)

elan d

Nope I'm all for evidence. I'm all for innocence until proven guilty like all justice systems in the world. You are not the law, you are not some vigilante justice superhero, you are simply a person in a comment section just like me. Let the law do its work and stop thinking you know better. You're the one who's already made up their mind about someone and making crazy accusations online. Be better.

Super Gamer Q

Damn. I did not expect someone to say it that clearly. Yeah, we got that message across now lol

Just Mav

To be fair: People were voting vor Slime a long time ago already, when it was just in season 2. so delaying it even more, won't make the show any shorter.

Mr. Simple

Sad that COTE isn’t that popular in here. It would’ve been a fun ride for them and us. Good Luck next poll!

Aountú

COTE is a really good Light Novel but a shame the anime did not do it justice. If Lerche did it better everyone would vote for it. Season 4 was better, but they need to improve a lot more

Ricchan

I hope Naruto gets picked soon..

Nina

good one, will have to remember it for the next suggestion post 👀

Sorin

you think he's a pedophile, you assume he is one. that's great but is there any proof? and fictional content and fictional characters do not count especially since japan has a history of loli/shota content going back decades.

Subarun

Sorin just mad they can't date the author as they are above the age of 12

Subarun

I just realized the MiA author is just like the Emperor from Apothecary Diaries.

Sorin

i'm mad at people doing random witch hunts without any evidence based on their internet activism. if there's evidence he hurt a child he can just be hanged, fictional content doesen't count. rie takahashi the va for megumin regularly goes to events and talks on stage how she likes shotas and "little boys are good civilization" and nobody cares. and then you have random people doing activism in a patreon comment section with zero actual evidence.

Sunny Dionysus

He likes girls, and I mean girls, not women....

Sorin

i'm mad at people doing random witch hunts online without actual evidence to satisfy their daily internet activism quota. if there's actual evidence he harmed real children he should go to prison for life. but since it's fictional content nobody actually cares. rie takahashi the va for megumin regularly goes to events in japan and talks about liking shotas and that "little boys are good civilization" and the people there that can separate reality from fiction don't really care because they know she isn't an actual predator, only the internet activists care.

Rostislav

Remind me—who should care about this? There's no pedophilia in this anime.

Rostislav

Who needs any kind of evidence to convict someone? Their favorite anime lost the vote—that's enough. 😂

Rostislav

This is the top choice because it was recommended the most often. That's how it works.

Rostislav

@YutaGoat Concerned about what? That they might accidentally praise an author whom someone considers a pedophile? Who actually cares? There is no pedophilia in the show; the rest is up to the court.

Rostislav

It's interesting that no one mentions the author of *One Piece* and pedophilia, because he's the Oda sensei lol

pariahlij

How are new anime suggestions added to these polls? I’d like them to watch Welcome to the N.H.K.

Rostislav

Two weeks ago, proposals could be submitted.

pariahlij

Okay, thanks. I’m sure it’ll never win, let alone make it to a poll, but I was still curious. I’m on their Steins;Gate reaction and it has a similar vibe to WTTNHK, so I think they’ll enjoy it. Also, do you know what happened to their HxH reactions? A lot of them are missing and I’d rather not watch their reactions on YouTube.

pariahlij

Do you know what happened to the HxH episodes that aren’t showing up? Did they take them down?

humphrey-t-humphrington

Right?? Been reading these comments and the whole time I'm thinking why have people barely said anything about Oda??? Do they only speak up when it's something they don't like??

Phone Shader

Made in Abyss can't compare to the GOAT series like Fates, all of fates neg def the show. I'll still watch it anyway

Sorin

i think people that attack random manga authors for pedophilia and fans of just only battle shonens overlap a lot. in the case of oda there's more evidence than in the case of the made in abyss author. rurouni kenshins author was actually convicted and oda is still in good terms with him and defended him.

Rostislav

@pariahlij I watched them when they were first posted, so I don't know what they're like now, but I doubt they've been deleted—most likely they've just gotten lost. Patreon isn't very user-friendly when it comes to searching for things.

Gelondil

There was someone posting about that every single episode of One Piece when they started watching it. After several weeks the critic got W&S to stop calling him Oda Sensei. In fact, Wes and Steph barely mention Oda at all now. Not compared to how they did with Togashi.

pariahlij

Fairs. Thanks again.

Super Gamer Q

@Gelondil Yeah I noticed that too. They dont heart the comment but they definitely read it

Irithylia

I get what you mean. It's quite common to have a fight stretch out over the course of 3-4 episodes. The story as a whole is honestly incredible, and it's so cool to look back on it and think about how everything connects, but you also realize in retrospect that this story was stretched out a lot due to its format as an anime. The manga is definitely the best way to experience the story. The anime exists more for for the purposes of making money, rather than doing a good job telling the story. The Naruto manga got so popular while it was still telling its story, so there was an incentive to keep the story going, and of course, turning it into an anime was another very lucrative incentive given the manga's hype. A better adaptation could've been made if they had the story completed before adapting it. And honestly? I think they should do a Naruto anime remake.
