have they watched the boys yet? need to make sure before gen v

Mikey

ANDORRR LETS GOOOO

Mahni Alizadeh

Assuming you haven’t seen any Star Wars, Andor would be a fun way for you two to be introduced. That said I haven’t seen the other shows lol

Steve

Please guys one piece live action it's actually good compared to other live actions

Abdus Samad

Omg one piece live action

BigJo H

Andor there is surprising but its really good. Every show on there would be a good choice honestly

Mia

When y’all have a new slot, I think you’d love Banana Fish. It’s tough and emotional but super worth the watch in my opinion : -)

PamRenea

Picking Andor over GenV is crazy. And I loved Andor. 😂🤣 ignore the poll girls and watch Gen V. I promise you won't regret it

Abdus Samad

Why does my vote change to andor automatically when I chose one piece ?

Benodinson

Yeah, they watched the Boys when it was coming out so all three seasons are up

Caleb Mackin

what i really want is the jjk reaction

م -

Why can't I vote for ONE PICE ??

SwampFox95

There’s only one option I’d be disappointed by. Really hoping for Andor, though.

Nonam

My vote is for Andor but it keeps changing to Firefly. Ah well, I'll try again in a bit

Brakthir

Andor is probably one of the best shows of recent years, despite it being stars wars

Isaac

Double up on pirate shows 🏴‍☠️

MaxVSTheGames

No bad choices here. I'm voting One Piece, but I wouldn't be mad if they only reacted to it later. It's just too bad that they will miss the zeitgeist and the good possibility of getting new followers since reactions to that show are still pretty popular right now on youtube.

Slaaverin

Please react to One piece live action it will make you smile 🙏🥰

D

One piece!!

HenryM

Wow Andor? watching you react to star wars would be pretty interesting

Kya Colosseum

If they haven't watched Severence they NEED to put it on a future live action poll, too good not to

TeaDrinker3000

Posting this for the patrons who may only be subscribed for the polls. We have an unofficial Discord for us regular Patrons to discuss the shows further. There's separate channels for discussing shows with full series spoilers, or for no spoilers past the latest episode reacted to. There's also channels for recommending anime, tv series, and anything else to one another, something we haven't been able to do since Patron got rid of Member Posts/Community tab, as well as the spreadsheet detailing everything the girls have/haven't watched. There's even a channel for cats 😺😊 Hope to see you there! https://discord.com/invite/4fp375Am

wonyojk

ONE PIECE please let it happen

ODIS

I really want Firefly, but it seems like its got no chance. So, Ill vote for Andor instead I guess. Currently on episode 6 and enjoying it.

refo44

I recommend also Chernobyl as a short show for another future poll

Eric

Andor is the best show on here by far

HenryM

They said they want to watch it when season 2 gets closer

Astro Funk

I accidentally voted for one piece I meant to vote andor 😭

Martin Heron

I’d make a quip about enjoying watching them suffer, but then again I voted for Firefly, so…

ODIS

Yeah but are you saying it as someone who's watched One Piece the anime and have that personal attachment? Cause if so, it likely hits different for you than for someone who hasn't watched the anime.

Kara

Andor is one of the best shows I've seen. I'm shocked it's even on the poll. I've watched it at least 10 times and I'm legit excited to rewatch with commentary 💖💖💖

T T T

Andor feels out of place kind of? You ladies haven't reacted to any other star wars shows/films (I think?)

Yic17

One Piece is so good you guys will love it. Gen V & Andor are also very good shows. Firefly is a good show as well although I watched that a long time ago so don't remember much of it. Personally, One Piece > Gen V > Andor > Firefly.

Olid

Wouldn’t it be better for the girls to just wait for the One Piece anime remake?

Robert H.

I'm surprised to see One Piece in the poll. We're getting at least 6 seasons here to adapt the first half of the story (which is very likely since Netflix is pumping money into the franchise non-stop right now with the remake of the anime), 12 to 14 seasons if the whole story is adapted. To be honest, I would have waited a little longer, as they both prefer completed/soon-to-be-completed series. But I also think that there is simply too much request. But I would laugh if the Netflix anime remake ends up being the better version of the original anime, live action and the remake anime and people start pushing the anime remake. :D

Veya

Off topic but is there going to be a longer show at some point in the future? I’m assuming it would be a different slot. Since you guys did The Wire recently would The Sopranos be on the radar for the future?

Unholy

Havent watched Gen V yet but heard good things on it same with Andor. I have no interest myself in trying the OP live show, I stopped watching at around 550 eps I think.

Deno Baanu

Who thinks they should watch one piece anime first. I think the anime is way better than the adaptation for so many reasons.

Robert H.

The Korean show Death's Game with an IMDB rating of 9 was probably just not pushed hard enough, but maybe Lola thought: "I'll just binge it now" if she hasn't seen it yet :D But to be honest: The other shows are probably the most requested. It's good to take one of these.

Yic17

The live action is really well made. It's a different experience. Give it a try, you'll likely be surprised.

Robert H.

One Pace > One Piece. One Piece is simply stretched to death towards the end. One episode sometimes only adapts half a manga page and the whole episode repeats this half a manga page in a 20-minute long loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1z6umwBs5I Also, 1100 episodes is a 10 year project if they were responding two episodes a week. The live-action version, or the anime remake by WIT Studio are clearly the better version for them.

My Toasty Toast

I’d agree on any Star Wars show (or even any multimedia franchise) but Andor is actually very self-contained. You can literally know nothing about Star Wars and pick up on it

HeavenlyR

Why would the remake not end up being the better version, its made by one of the best anime studios in the world with none of the constraints that the original had to deal with

Kara

Black Sails is in the Long Show slot, they chose it without a poll because it narrowly lost two polls in a row to surprise entrants (fair tbh)

Francesco Balducci

One Piece live action and Firefly have strangely a lot in common. They're both about an ensemble of lovable characters in a detailed breathing world, the story ranges from superfun to tragic in a way that makes sense. I think it's too early for them to watch the anime of One Piece: it's a huge commitment that surpasses HxH. Firefly on the other hand can be the gateway drug to Buffy the vampire slayer :D

MaxVSTheGames

The anime is simply too long. Most youtubers that I follow that are currently reacting to the anime did so after getting hooked on the live-action, not the other way around.

Robert H.

The question is more: Live Action or Anime-Remake by WIT Studio. The original anime is trash without question.

Kizaru

As a HUGE One Piece fan, I'm extremely grateful that you girls are willing to watch the Live Action, it's really great.

Razzer95

Maybe one of these days The Last Kingdom will get a look. (They loved Vikings that's why I'm mentioning it constantly)

Deno Baanu

I understand. But I think waiting for the WIT studio adaptation would still be better than starting with the live action. Because imo the anime counterparts of luffy and crew and what they brought to the screen is far better than the live action. :)

My Toasty Toast

Very surprised to see Andor, that got my vote. It’s still early but I think One Piece will win due to recency bias (nothing wrong with it winning). I haven’t seen any of the anime or the manga. Question for the people who have watched it - is the show good and digestible for people who haven’t watched any of the anime? I’m ultimately hoping it’s not another cyberpunk: edgerunners situation where the show is riding on the hype of the main media

Legion

I love One Piece live action, but damn it I want Andor to win

Robert H.

Star Wars (or everything else) from Disney has become really off-putting. A: "There's this great show called Andor!" B: "What's it about?" A: "It's set in the Star Wars universe and ... (B is already drifting off in thought) I don't know why, but almost everything from Disney is just unbearably awful lately and finding the one good pearl in the pile of shit and recommending it to others is damn difficult.

refo44

It was considered a great live-action show even for people who don't like or watch anime. Perhaps it was successful with non-anime watchers because it has some Pirates of the Caribbean vibes. Also the cast is good; they managed to deliver a performance that feels real and not weird or exaggerate. It's also interesting that they are filming in Cape Town, recycling and taking advantage of the leftovers from the Black Sails production. They are reusing the same ships built for Black Sails.

MrGuy3000

I love one piece but andor is just to good

Alex Wilson

I humbly recommend Halt and Catch Fire for the next poll. To me, it's on the same quality level as The Bear and Breaking Bad but flies under the radar for some reason. It has an incredible cast (including Mackenzie Davis and Lee Pace) and you can tell the writers really care for each character. 4 Seasons with a complete story arc that wraps up beautifully.

Melkor

Disney has completely ruined Star Wars. And they are continuing to dig it into a grave. Like 1-2 things in the Star Wars universe they’ve released has been good the rest has been bad. So sad as someone who grew up with that.

Eric

It's an incredible show. The way they manage to shift the focus every season while constantly improving across the board is nothing short of incredible. Truly an underappreciated gem.

Eric

I'd rather they not support a show with a creator that is friends with not one, not two, but at least three close friends that are sexual offenders. Nobody keeps that many friends with tendencies like that by accident.

Alex Wilson

That's a great point. I forgot to mention that every season is somehow better than the previous season even though Season 1 is already great. It's like the plot grows with the characters.

Froziac

omg there's actually hope for andor, lets go

KotBegemot

Firefly is an interesting option. 10 or so years ago it could've won the poll but now its cult classic status got a bit rusty plus Whedon's tarnished reputation. And I guess newer younger generation of people at most only heard of it or just simply doesn't care. Even though I still love Firefly to me it's not even close to being Whedon's best work, Buffy (and spin-off Angel) will always be his best accomplishment in my eyes. Would love to see you girls' reactions to Buffyverse one day although it definitely hasn't aged well in some aspects. But I doubt it would ever do good in a poll, I don't think there's much overlap between Buffy fans and your audience (even though it's quite diverse: from shounen anime to the likes of Wire). Oh well, there's enough reactions to Buffyverse on youtube, its fanbase is still alive and well. On the other options, I never cared for Star Wars, I’ve seen 2 seasons of Mandalorian and thought that it’s just okay at best. Andor has quite the praise though, seems like it’s closer to the Rogue One movie which I remember actually liking. Not a bad choice I guess. Maybe I would even watch it alongside you. Still haven’t seen Gen V even though I love the Boys. Didn’t see your reactions to it but if you love Boys as well it’s probably the best and most natural choice on the poll for you. I’d rather watch it on my own first though. One Piece live-action surprised me, it’s a good show even if you don’t take in an account how bad other anime live-actions were and how difficult it is to make into live-action One Piece specifically, with all its goofiness and whimsical and extremely emotional nature. It’s still not as good as anime and especially manga for me but creators deserve respect for what they managed to accomplish I think. I probably would've been the most excited to watch your reactions to One Piece rather than other options tbh. There will be a lot of people nagging you to watch anime or read the manga after that though, I gotta warn you lol

Brakthir

It's because Disney thinks a good Star Wars product is filled with Jedi and cameos and terrible acting and to be honest, Star Wars fans are so desperate for content they eat it up. Kenobi was fucking trash, Boba Fett was trash, Mando s3 was hot garbage, Ahsoka bored me to tears. The best part of Andor is that it doesn't feel like a Star Wars show. It feels like a GOOD show, set in the Star Wars universe

Daniel Molina

Id be so curious to see the perspective of ppl watching One Piece or Andor without having seen the OG source material 👀 whichever wins will be sweet

Isaac

Campaign for it during season 4 of Black Sails! It had a chance in the Mr Robot days, so you never know!

Kaitlyn

Y'all, if you haven't seen Andor/ don't like Star Wars, I'm begging you to vote for it. This comes from someone who doesn't like anything else in the Star Wars franchise other than the movie tied to this. The commentary on capitalism, colonialism, empire, and what it means/takes to rebel against your oppressors is so well done here and would make for great discussion. It's honestly astonishing it's on Disney+.

ODIS

it wouldnt be on this list though cause its not a short show

Sebastian

as someone who normally doesn’t care for star wars Andor really is a great self contained story. its character focused with a lot of heart, thoughtful dialogue and strong sociopolitical themes. all of which was a very pleasant surprise!

Kaitlyn

Honestly, it would probably complement Black Sails really well thematically.

Flubbedsquid

One Piece live action would be great! I know the girls would love Luffy

Jesse

Out of these options I like Andor the best. I've watched both Gen V and One Piece, and while they were fun, they are the kind of shows I never think about again after watching. Andor actually has some interesting themes and messaging going on. It would be interesting to see the perspective of someone without much knowledge of the Star Wars universe. So yeah, my vote goes to Andor. Haven't seen Firefly though.

Kara

so true, it's legit shocking it's on Disney+. even more shocking that they pre-approved S2, so the show will be completed (this year likely)

Kara

Firefly meant a lot to me as a kid but it's not even close, Andor laps it

Jesse

Also please add Severance to the next poll. As someone with a pretty similar taste as you girls, I'm convinced you will love it.

KotBegemot

I don't think it's trash for quite a while of episodes. Lots of earlier moments in the story I prefer in anime format rather than manga. Emotional moments especially. And it has that old anime charm. WIT Remake sounds interesting but again it's gonna be in seasonal format I heard, it's also 10+ years or probably even 20+ commitment. They'll probably dump it on MAPPA or some other big studio in the future after a couple of seasons. Anyway, for girls it's too much of a commitment regardless. There's enough One Piece content on youtube, reactions as well. When/if WIT remake will drop then it will be worth of a discussion.

léna

the first time I ever get to vote on theses! honestly, I recommend you One Piece the live action, it’s short and it’s awesome

Stephen

Andor is the better show, even though some of the references to star wars lore might be missed

Starkiller

Andor is great for your sensibilities, I would just do some basic research so you understand where it is in the timeline and the state of the galaxy.

Bryce

Unfortunately it looks like it's been delayed to 2025 after the strikes

Isaac

Severance doesn't need a poll. They're pretty set on watching it as soon as Season 2 is on the horizon

refo44

I don't think it would be be something similar to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. I was never a big fan of the anime but watched it to some extend before I dropped it. One Piece, compared to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, is not as action-focused and have a great storytelling, focusing more on the characters. The cast of the live-action adaptation did an awesome job as actors. The adaptation received good reception from critics and also from non-anime watchers. Perhaps the best way to describe it is by comparing it to Pirates of the Caribbean. I will be also happy if Andor or Gen V win the poll, I also enjoyed both shows. I haven't watched Firefly yet but I've heard great things about it.

Olid

It’s not confirmed when it’s releasing - it’s just been confirmed that Wit Studio (Attack on Titan) + Netflix are remaking the whole series. So it’ll probably be seasonal releases.

Farbod

Andor is an amazing show. I think they will really enjoy it.

refo44

If Andor wins the poll it would be interesting to react also to the "Rogue One" Film. I really love that movie. It's one of my favorites not only as a stars wars movie but in general as a sci-fi movie.

Jack SV

I’m willing to vote for Star Wars as long as we don’t get one piece…ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

AlexBoss

Oh, wow... the best tv show of 2022 is part of the poll? I didn't know you girls reacted to Star wars content (not that i would like to see the rest). Andor definitely! It isn't even close.

Jack SV

You know what… as someone who dislikes Star Wars a lot, I gotta admit than Rogue One was a good movie. Maybe the only Star Wars movie I like so far.

Jesse

Oh really? Did the girls say this? I guess I'll have to be patient then. Can't wait for Season 2!

Sebastian

im shocked it on here too! i know you’ve been pushing it since the bear so i really hope it wins!

refo44

Even the remake anime from wit studio will be to long to watch and react

refo44

Even the remake will be a show too long for a reaction channel

Bryce

When I was campaigning for Andor, I was just hoping to see it show up on a poll, but the fact that it has a shot at winning has me very excited!

My Toasty Toast

Gotcha, yeah I know nothing about the live action or the anime, I just heard the live action was well-received but I don’t know if that’s just by OP fans who thought it was a good adaptation

MrChuuni

I think Andor and One Piece are so hotly disputed that you should seriously consider watching both, the winner now and the second place after you've finished the winner (I really want to see the reactions to One Piece but I think Andor will win because of 2% of the votes dammit).

D

Man I’m gonna be super disappointed if andor beats one piece

Lexi Browning

I love One Piece live action, but Andor for sure. It's one of the best shows/stories in the Star Wars universe. And that's saying something

Olid

Considering they’re watching HxH & considering how it’d likely be seasonal, I don’t think it’d be too long at all

Khe Com

It would be amazing if you see the OP live action. And it is only 8 episodes.

Jack SV

That show is mediocre in my opinion. After watching a second time I realized how much it sucks. I’m not even a fan of the original material but the manga is still the best way to enjoy OP if they are looking into getting One Piece.

Jorginho

Why is it stuck on 288 votes for me

Joaquín Calderón

One Piece just have 8 episodes and its kinda funny and entertaining! it would be amazing if you watch it

Jay Craig

As long as Gen V fits in at some point before (probably) summer when The Boys S4 comes out I'm not too bothered. Couldn't give less of a shit about anything related to Star Wars but a lot of people whose opinions I respect really love that show so seems like it would be a great choice.

Kara

The showrunner said that Andor S2 will basically run directly into Rogue One for a complete experience

MrChuuni

I'm just saying that because first and second place are VERY close. If Andor was clearly winning and way ahead of second place I wouldn't comment that

Kara

ah that's unfortunate but I'm glad the strike action was disruptive enough to achieve results

Kara

Halt and Catch Fire is amazing but they should do Mad Men first, the first season is an almost direct response to the Mad Men zeitgeist

Kara

Thanks Sebastian! Even if it doesn't win it's soooo close I have to believe it'll win the next one, or maybe they just pick it next time

TeaDrinker3000

The only reasonable solution is if one of them watches Andor and the other watches One Piece

jweher

Can you watch Andor if you’ve never watched a single Star War’s related thing? I’m trying to decide what to vote for since it seems like the only real competition is Andor and One Piece. I’ve never seen a single star wars movie or show or cartoon.

Kara

Yeah, as others have said Andor is a self-contained experience. It's basically a sci-fi show about living under an oppressive empire

Sebastian

definitely. it doesnt rely on previous lore to make you invested. to me it feels like a hbo prestige show that just happens to be set in the star wars universe

Robert Bonfante

I mean, all of the choices are good. This is my favorite type of poll because I win even when I lose. :)

Swaybez

Pluto? Monster? Dark?

karina

This is not relevant to this pool, but I thought that if they ever will watch a shojo anime, I think it would be fun to see their reactions to a romantic anime, like a sign of affection or I don't know, one of the classics maybe. Even a seinen could be nice, like skip an loufer who I feel they would really enjoy, which is something more relaxed and from everyday life

Kara

They've seen Dark. Pluto and Monster are animated, this is live action short show poll

My Toasty Toast

No one would be suggesting Andor if you needed to have seen other Star Wars media. It works wonderfully on its own

Korin

One piece live action was so good I hope it wins

Space Mechanic

Andor would be such a cool intro to Star Wars. Haven’t seen OP so wouldn’t know if it would be the same for that world.

Steven Cavanagh

Could I Recommend the Amazon Animated Series, Legend of Vox Machina.

Wallas

Finaly One Piece 🤗

Korin

If one piece doesnt win this i dont think it will come back anytime soon I hope it does.

V

I STAND WITH ANDOR TILL THE END WE GONNA MAKE IT

HenryM

Patreon app is acting weird. I had to vote on desktop for it to finally register it

MaxVSTheGames

I think no matter which one wins, the girls will watch the other next. It's just too close. (Unless they watch the Avatar show right after since it's coming out in February)

Kara

If you're in line stay in line ANDOR fans! 💪💪💪

Payam Sharifi

I don't really get the hype for the one piece live action tbh, it's fine. There's strong elements but overall it's just not nearly as fun or emotional as the anime. Whereas andor is the best star wars thing in like 40 years lol. Can't imagine anyone would be mad either way though, both short shows and with how close it is, I feel like they'll probably do the other right after.

Jack SV

Fuck, OP might win this one. It might be over for Andor bros.

Mahad Ali

Firefly is fun. Andor is profound. Its fun but it also says a lot about the banality of evil and our ability as humans to persevere.

My Toasty Toast

It’s all good. I expected OP to win because of recency bias and a lot of anime fans in this channel (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but I feel like Andor was so close that they have to at least include it the next poll, or watch it after OP/Avatar

The Lazy Genius

I haven't voted yet, I don't care about the one piece movie, I don't even care about the one piece anime after episode 500 it's wothless, but I do think that the beggining of the one piece anime ( like the first 500 episodes ) got a couple of decent moments and backstories here and there, that's worthy of a reaction, but after that one piece becomes very boring and childish and uncreative and dragged out

Mahad Ali

Absolutely. Andor is Star Wars for people who don’t like Star Wars. There are no jedi’s, princesses etc. Its a story of fascism and how average people in a society deal with it. Its themes are universal and are told with exceptional deft. Its has the look of a movie and the writing and performances are exceptional.

Yū Nishinoya

One Piece live action is really bad if you didn't watch the anime, they'll get a wrong idea. Characters and the plot are a shadow of what they are in the anime and visually it looks cheap, seems like a theatrical work more than a tv show

MaxVSTheGames

With a poll this close, the probability is high that no matter which one wins, they will watch the other right after.

Wallas

Just a reminder, there's a new season of True Detective premiering this Sunday, it would be cool to watch it weekly with you ✌️

MaxVSTheGames

I've watch reactions from a lot of people for whom the live-action was the first introduction to One Piece and they really love it. Even my parents who never watch any anime liked it.

Toidleboy

86! gotta get it on one of these polls at least, its the perfect show for the girls

Wallas

Star Wars fans always acting like everyone needs to like/consume Star Wars is so annoying...

Jack SV

Damn an OP fan being critical of the live action? That’s rare!

Jay Craig

Steins Gate lost a poll by a single vote 2 years ago and hasn't been watched.

UNC

You Spelled The Sopranos Wrong :)

Steve

Your high. Some bits are off with the live action but for the most part it's one of the best live actions

refo44

But the live action got a positive reception from non-anime watchers. Even from people who will never watch the anime because they don't like anime.

refo44

I know they both watched the first season but I don't know how many seasons they'd watched after the first one.

Axel

Andor might be my favorite Star Wars thing ever. Genuinely good show even without the Star Wars label or history. Most other Star Wars Disney+ shows are fun "nerd fanservice" shows, but Andor is just quality.

Yū Nishinoya

there are many great moments in first 500 episode and everything that happens after timeskip until episode 746 (ending of Dressrosa arc) is a masterpiece. What is it boring, childish and uncreative in Punk Hazard or Dressrosa :o :o ...? 2 of the best arcs in the show

SoClose

OP live action is one of the worst things I’ve ever laid my eyes on. 😭 Leave it to your fans to recommend that.

My Toasty Toast

Andor transcends the Star Wars label, it’s genuinely a fantastic and expertly written show. I’d agree with you if people were pushing the Mandalorian or something, that’d be terrible for LM

ODIS

Just saw the first episode. Its fine, but it's definitely for a younger audience imo.

Sebastian

Andor is only behind about 25 votes (as im posting this). if any gen v voters swing their vote over i’ll join your campaign next poll 🫡 also richie from the bear is in andor!

HeavenlyR

Loved the One Piece live action but might prefer Andor just cause I think the remake will end up being the best way to start One Piece, but some people being so anti One Piece is making me want to vote for it anyway

Nonam

Eh, there are only like five or six pieces of Star Wars media I actually recommend consuming, and two of them are video games (KOTOR). Andor makes the list, though.

Merfhew

There's no guarantee that they'll watch the remake, but fair enough.

refo44

The OP remake will be at least 500-800 episodes at total. Do you really think they will react to something so long? I don't find it plausible

The Lazy Genius

I liked the one piece characters in the beginning but then the arcs and the main fights kept getting longer and longer after a while with the same repetitive story structure after every arc, and I really don't like the long fights, there is no special abilites in one piece fights after they start using haki, merely hand to hand combat, so why making the fights so long and make the villains looks bad and harmless that can't defeat luffy when the result is the same at the end luffy is going to win, it's pointless, at least you can make luffy cooler if he ended the fight quickly, the show seemed to lose it serious tone after the time skip, it seems to focus a lot on the younger audience which is fine but don't ignore the adult audience, oda think that the one piece adult fans are just a bunch of perverts who only care about fan-service, even the characters design was better before the time skip

Steve

They definitely won't watch the anime this is the closest thing to one piece we are going to get

Merfhew

I follow a lot of reaction channels, and most of them have watched the Live Action One Piece series. The majority have enjoyed this adaptation, but reactors who went in completely blind (i.e. those who never watched the anime, never read the manga) were almost always bombarded with requests to start the anime. Even if the channels specified up front that they wouldn't start the anime, some of the more desperate and toxic fans refused to accept it. I'm not saying every One Piece fan is crazy (I consider myself a fan), but the loud minority is really hard to deal with. In their minds, continuing to ask will force the reactor to reconsider. I'm hoping that doesn't happen here. I don't think Milena + Lola plan to start the anime, so people should keep that in mind when voting. Maybe things will be different now that the anime remake has been announced, but I wouldn't count on it. It actually makes me think people will hound the reactors even harder. I love the world of One Piece. I've followed this amazing series for 20+ years, beginning with the infamous 4Kids dub. I'm thrilled to see so many people opening their minds to One Piece for the first time. And yet, I'm weary of the drama.

Wallas

I think they watched seasonh1, but they don't need to watch all the seasons, they're not connected, as far as I know

Tsunemori Kiriko

Just curious: does anyone know why they haven't reacted to a kdrama yet? (Or at least put one Korean show in their poll) I know they have been watching kdramas in their spare time. How many of you support them react to kdramas? The recently released Death's Game is a good choice to start

MrChuuni

I think most people have already done that. I for example had voted for Gen V, but as soon as I saw that Gen V didn't stand a chance, I switched to One Piece XD

My Toasty Toast

This is something I’m a little worried about too. Comments in the near future are going to be over saturated with requests to watch the anime, ignoring that it’s not something LM would ever commit to

Brakthir

One Piece live action winning over Andor is legit making me sad

Zach

Have they watched Chainsaw Man? I'm surprised I haven't seen it recommended yet based on it's popularity.

Tsunemori Kiriko

I guess it is because this is a poll for live-action series. And as a fan of CSM I just want to hold my recommendation till season 2 comes out since I remember I really got hooked on it in the assassins arc. The charm of CSM hasn't really be shown in season 1 yet.

Niall Collins

I signed up to be a patron just to say an idea, instead of doing just short shows for this slot you could also do all the films from a director like Hayao Miyazaki/Denis Villeneuve/David fincher or a series of films like LOTR/star wars/the before trilogy. You guys could be less tied down and be able to do more films like you wanted to do

Yū Nishinoya

well I disagree with everything you said, most of fights are short and cool in Punk Hazard and Dressrosa and there are many interesting abilities, they are not simple haki fights and the show didn't lose its seriousness. I can agree with you on Wano's arc, that arc is so long and redundant and the animation is very bad, in that case the story structure is very similar to Arabasta arc (overall I don't like either one). Dressrosa has 3 of the best backstories in the show too, 1st 4 arcs after timeskip have different vibes...they have many cool moments, I can name you 4 scenes that gave me goosebumps in Fish-Man Island Arc

Waryu

It is not live-action, but Banana Fish is also great one that you may want to consider

Chidi.

Andor. Only because a friend plays a role in the show

Yū Nishinoya

Jack SV, the more I think about how good is One Piece anime (well...at least until Dressrosa ending) the more I realize that makes sense to believe that it's not a good idea to suggest the live action to someone who'll never watch the anime...of course they'll get the wrong idea of it. One Piece is not "fine and for a younger audience" but that's a good way to describe the live action if you want to be positive about it

Emori

The way my jaw DROPPED at the options

Chidi.

I don't even know as I've never seen it! This will be a good reason for me to finally watch it. 😅

SwampFox95

Gen V. I haven’t seen it, though, because The Boys lost me in season 2.

Ken Drummer

Live action anime has always failed until One Piece. Definitely voting for One Piece. It’s only 8 episodes anyway so it won’t be that long a watch but it’s definitely worth their reaction. The number one Netflix show of all time and the first live action anime that was successful opening it up now for more live action anime in the future. The writer of the manga was behind this series. The actual anime is one of the longest running anime of all time so fans shouldn’t be angry if they don’t watch the anime first. They wouldn’t finish that one in our lifetime.

Muhammad Yesa

What shows they've been watching? I had assumed they're simply unfamiliar with it, or thought it's not a good fit for the channel's audience. For the record, I'd love if they do it; besides the obvious international hit like Squid Game, there are a lot of good character-driven shows tackling social issues that I think would appeal to their sensibilities.

Tsunemori Kiriko

You can see the shows they have watched or plan to watch in their TV Time accounts, which they have shown in their Youtube description. Lola has watched many kdramas like The Devil's Plan, My Liberation Notes, The Law Cafe, All of Us are Dead, etc. Milena has watched less than Lola but she also watched a few like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Our Beloved Summer, Something in the Rain and so on.

Ken Drummer

They are talking about the live action One Piece Netflix series of 8 episodes. Live action anime has always failed. This is the first live action anime that was successful mainly because the writer of the manga was behind it.

My Toasty Toast

Yeah as long as no one expects them to actually react to the anime, there’s no way they’re committing to that

My Toasty Toast

Not really sure if CSM is up their alley; it has the same issue as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, where there’s not really time for you to get invested in a character and get to know them before they’re killed. I personally like CSM a lot, but for reactors who’s bread and butter is character writing, I’m not sure that’s the anime for them

Thomas Fahey

They will watch Andor eventually. It’s the smartest show to come out of the Star Wars universe. It’s a show for adults exploring adult themes with real-world relevance. Tony Gilroy will become their next favorite show writer, and the performances are first rate.

Jason

I’m beside myself with sadness that they won’t be watching Firefly yet again. It’s only 14 episodes and a movie. 🥹

Muhammad Yesa

I see, thanks, good to know. Yeah maybe they consider them the kind of comfort shows that they prefer to enjoy on their own time. It's still a niche in reaction space compared to anime or Western live TV show, Squid Game iirc was the only one that earned mainstream recognition.

Tsunemori Kiriko

That is one of the reasons why I want to wait till season 2. They will have more content to get invested then

Tsunemori Kiriko

And I think CSM also has some really good character development arcs (for example, Hayakawa Aki).

Nyeisha Melvina Clark

I voted for One Piece simply because in some form or fashion I would love the girls to get introduced to that Anime and the world and characters and I know how impossible it would be to start the actual anime, however I do think they will have fun with any of these choices so I'm not bothered either way.

Eric

You should check out A More Civilized Age. The podcast is mainly about Clone Wars, but they did Andor last year and have the best reviews of each episode. And right now they're going through the first KOTOR. Just a group of really smart and funny people diving deep into Star Wars stuff.

Eric

It's such a mid show. It's absolutely the opposite of the things they enjoy. A paucity of worthwhile characters, the story is paper thin. It's fighting porn for the shounen demographic.

Jesse S

Oh my god ANDOOR IVe been begging y’all plaesse to watch it!!!!

Jesse S

Andor is on a different level to all of Star Wars trust me brother

Jesse S

Woohoo! I thought the day would never come where they watch andor!!!

Jesse S

That’s awesome bro. Andor is one of the best shows ever created

Kaitlyn

Since it looks like One Piece will win, I really hope you consider Andor for the future; it’s right up your guys’ alley.

The Lazy Genius

I don't mind them reacting to the one piece anime but I don't know anything about live actions, I'm sure it's cringe worthy

Kara

now I know how Black Sails fans felt. at least there's another poll in 8 weeks, I won't walk the plank just yet

HenryM

With how much praise Andor is getting in the comments, I really hope they consider watching it after One Piece

Jay Craig

No human alive can seriously look at Gear 5 and say that One Piece is not for a younger audience lmfao. It has a lot of nuance and depth and things for older fans to enjoy, but be real.

ODIS

When I saw that snail for a telephone, I was immediately like, "oh this is really a kids' show" lol

Bryce

The one bump in the road we might have is that in 8 weeks the live action Avatar show will have just come out and if it reviews well they might jump on that show while it's hot.

Kara

It's LM, they'll probably watch all 3 seasons of the Avatar show in 2027

Yū Nishinoya

with younger audience I mean kids, gear 5th is purposely goofy and op...it's like the personification of freedom and the cartoon powers to me make Luffy cool rather than a character for kids. One Piece is an anime for all generations, it's not a show for kids

Steve

Let's goooooo one piece. I've been waiting for this since the show came out thank you guys. And hopefully the haters who haven't watched it will watch it with them. I already know luffy is gonna be a favorite of theirs.

halfeldian

Is no one gonna tell them about Frieren? 🥹 I hope they watch Frieren or 86 🙏🏽 both labor of love and really amazing, short shows. (24-28 episodes)

refo44

Both are awesome but this poll is for live action shows not for anime. Maybe recommendations for the short anime spot

ODIS

Yeah but I think the things that work in anime just don't translate to live action just because of the medium, even if the production is excellent. We see human faces, and we expect to relate to them even subconsciously. But when they behave like caricatures (even if it works in anime) it just becomes silly. At least those were my thoughts when I saw an episode of OP.

refo44

But it's exactly the same with Pirates of The Caribbean. They both have the same vibes. But One Piece has more darker and dramatically intense moments. If Disney do someday a streaming show about Pirates of The Caribbean it will be similar to this One Piece Live Action.

refo44

One Piece compared to animes like Vinland Saga, Death Note or Attack On Titan is for younger audiences. With 'younger audiences' here we are talking about teenagers but is not an anime targeted to adults or young adults even if is popular among older people.

rowabeae

Please watch march comes in like a lion its One of the most wholesome and heartwarming show you will ever watch and it has the best written female characters you will love it !

halfeldian

oh yes yes, I guess I'll try next time. If they love VE then sure Frieren is up or even beyond their alley, since Milena also mentioned "recommend us shows like this! (female protagonist)" somewhere episode 2 reaction of VE I think. So, hopefully, if there's a slot (for anime), we go for Frieren next :)

Merfhew

I lowkey feel bad for Firefly fans. Unless I'm mistaken, it's been a poll option numerous times now. Sadly, I don't think it'll ever garner enough votes to win via poll, but I hope to be proven wrong.

Gangster Pikachu

@The Lazy Genius You acknowledge you know nothing about the live-action yet insist it's cringe-worthy? What a fucking clown.

Gangster Pikachu

That's complete horseshit. I've never seen the anime and never will but I really enjoyed the live-action and so did many people in my position.

Gangster Pikachu

The Star Wars fandom has to be the most annoying and obnoxious fandom in existence

Merfhew

@refo44 -- Well, I guess it depends on what the other poll options are. Firefly is an older, niche show with loyal fans. When you poll a show like that against more recently popular shows, the outcome seems clear. I agree that Milena + Lola will probably react to Firefly someday, but they might need to pick it for themselves, like they did with Black Sails.

Yū Nishinoya

You loved it that much and you'll never watch the anime it comes from. This confirms that's a bad idea to suggest it to people who never watched the anime (and never will, like the girls). You have no idea about what One Piece is and how bad the live action is compared to it. My opinion wasn't aimed at you but at One Piece fans

Isaac

Don't you worry. I'm 100% on the Frieren agenda for this channel. I will be annoying about it during the last few episodes of Ranking of Kings :)

Ken Drummer

I know Steve! It’s the first live action anime that actually succeeded and the actor playing Luffy was spot on! He was even cast by the writer of the manga himself after seeing his audition.

Jason

You’re not wrong at all and I really wish that they would just choose it already because it’s very different from what they usually react to and that alone would be a great reason to have them react to it before I’m a senior citizen. 😕

ODIS

Yeah right. Literally can be said about any fandom ever. Guess what, it's just people in all of them. One Piece fans aren't a different species.

Steve

Nah there are definitely worse fandoms then others. Ya most are annoying but not as much as these 2. Maybe aot comes close but idk it really just depends on the size small ones are almost always chill to some degree

Hamza Jirrari

I think that every big fandom is toxic , because it has simply more toxic people than smaller fandoms

BNJ

I've never watched the One Piece anime, can I watch the live action series without knowing anything about it?

Tyrell Rose

Yes, you can. The live-action covers only 40 episodes out of the total 1089 episodes of the anime. I believe the series is intended for people who haven't seen anything of One piece aiming to convince them to watch or read it.

BNJ

awesome, thanks!

Anonymous

One Piece, I hope this live action will interest them enough to binge one piece anime at their own time lol

refo44

There are people who don't like to watch anime or read manga and will never give it a try, but even so, they enjoy the live action adaptation. So, it's not only to convince people, but also a way to share the story to a different audience. And it's OK not everyone need to be an anime fan.

Farbod

Sigh. How depressing.

Mahad Ali

I haven’t seen a single Andor proponent badmouth One Piece fans. So its kind of rich to call them obnoxious. At the end of the day they will probably watch both shows. No need to get in a tiff about it.

Mahad Ali

The number episodes of should factor in these polls. Voting for a show with 8 seasons of episodes is not the same as voting for what is essentially a limited-run miniseries. I’m hoping they watch Andor and then Firefly. But i think Firefly aired so long ago that very few people on this platform have watched it.

Farbod

I think polls should be run twice. Once with 4 choices and then again with the top 2. I think that will give a better sense of the community than having a winner with 30-40%

Paffu

Can we have beastars on the poll maybe someday?

cheech

Don’t watch any of those tbh

engenius

One Piece was fun and Andor was interesting, but neither of them has the heart that Firefly does. It has excellent writing and a cast that works perfectly together. Plus it's not the same story recycled over and over again.

Merfhew

I think the poll ended 3 - 4 days ago. Milena and Lola mentioned One Piece during their Ranking of Kings Ep. 2 reaction.

Rudy Nayager

You guys should watch Haikyuu :)

Ken Drummer

Yay! It’s only 8 episodes. They will love it. First live action anime that actually worked and was successful.

otakuguy01

I don't know the girls history with Star Wars, but it would be fascinating to see someone watch Andor > Rogue One > Original Trillogy for the first time.

sleepymiffi

nice ones!! and im happy with the winner but i also reallyyyy would love if you two reacted to Jujutsu Kaisen one day🫶 it’d be so great seeing your reaction, thoughts, predictions etc. to it !!

Clay F

Andor is excellent.

bibi hashem

could you watch fruits basket next? it an amazinggg show you will for sure adore it everything about it is amazing from the charachters to the plot and everything else
