Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about something and wanted to get your input.

There are a bunch of series I reacted to years ago — back when my style, editing, and commentary were completely different — and part of me wants to revisit some of them with a fresh set of eyes and my current approach.

For example, I’ve been considering re-watching My Hero Academia from the beginning so I can finally continue into the newer seasons. Same goes for older series like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, Fairy Tail, etc. (I’d like to keep this limited to shows I covered in the past or watched off camera, that have basically been lost to time.)

Before I make any decisions, I’d love to hear from you all: Are there any series you’d like to see me re-watch from the beginning? It’d let me relive those early arcs with you, catch up properly, and give you a much higher-quality version of reactions I did back in the day.

Drop your suggestions below — I’m excited to see what everyone wants!

Well, that would be really cool. Something like Tensura, Overlord etc. would be fun (I am a sucker for isekais lmao) Just dont make them the *main* show.

I would go for JoJo. The 7th part, Steel Ball Run, is finally being made into an anime, so it's the perfect time for a rewatch.

Thing with JoJo is that I don’t need to remember every detail from Parts 1–6 since the new season takes place in a fresh universe. What I meant was more about rewatching series where catching up on the current seasons actually benefits from a full restart, if that makes sense. That said, JoJo is absolutely still on the table — just more of a “later down the line” rewatch rather than something I’d jump into right away. That's why I added it to the post. Sorry for not clarifying that in the post. I am DEFINITELY covering SBR when it drops. 😉

Anriku

I'll keep those in mind for sure. Those are just a little tough due to all the dialogue but I'm not against doing it.

How about Ben 10 classic mainly because of how long ago was since you watched season one

Anriku

I'm mostly looking at anime for this since it’s been years since I watched some of those older series. Ben 10 is actually still pretty fresh for me — it’s been about two years since I first started it, but I dropped it for a bit and picked it back up around a year later for S2 and onward. So compared to a lot of my really old reactions, Ben 10 doesn’t feel as far removed. Just looked. I finished Classic 6 months ago on YT. Around 10 months for Patreon.

Personally, I joined your Patreon last year and would love to see you react to some great classics and catch up with them with your current audience.

Anriku

Any classics come to mind?

This is crazy I remember I joined your patreon around the time the season 2 of jjk was airing I never got to watch your reactions to the show en masse. So recently I’ve been watching and it’s crazy to see how much more reserved? You were im not sure which word to use there but I’d be down for some rewatches. Lowkey AOT might be a heavenly rewatch.

Anriku

Reserved the perfect word to describe it. I wasn’t entirely being myself. I was holding back. Oh shit. AoT would be sick to do since s3 and earlier have been lost. I'd like to give that one a little more time for me to forget things, though. XD I noticed you liking the JJK videos. I appreciate seeing the engagement. Ty!

JustJamel

This question was right on time I guess for me to watch those vids 😭

Anriku

That timing was on point. 😭 I have to ask, though... which do you prefer more? The more reserved me or the way I react now. Don't stress on the answer. It won't make a difference since I'm not going back to being quiet and reserved all of the time. XD Its just a fun question.

JustJamel

These newer vids are more enjoyable for like the average watcher I think. someone who sees your vids on their recommended on YouTube and will watch that specific series until they’re finished with it I think. I enjoy this newer style personally because since I’ve been watching you for a long time I enjoyed your old style but this new style from what I can see is letting you actually REACT. Sorry for the long winded answer

Anriku

No worries on the long answer. I appreciate hearing your viewpoint, dude. I agree. I’ve trained myself to fill the dead air with commentary while the show’s still playing. It’s not always perfect, but it works, and the pausing helps a ton too. Back then I was going into reactions with an overly analytical mindset. Now I still analyze and catch plot details, but having fun and actually entertaining is the priority. TLDR I’m not taking it as seriously as before and I’m just having fun with it. Even the JJK S2 vids were still a bit more reserved. That was right when I started shifting my style and being me turned up to 100 percent. You could say those videos were the start of my whole pivot into what React Zone is now.

I'd love to see you watch Naruto, I just want to know how far you were on it. Also beyblade X is now on its 3rd season so will you be continuing that too ?.

Tenebris Aeulous

I would love a rewatch series of beyblade metal series and / or maybe yugioh duel monsters. Also would love to see you watch Tokyo ghoul or demon slayer if you're interested? Honestly there are too many anime and cartoons I would love to see. Especially naruto. Naruto being in my top 3 anime of all time. Lastly I would really like to say I hope you get better soon and recover smoothly :)

Anriku

Appreciate that dude. Ty! I probably won't rewatch anything I covered the last couple years such as Beyblade, Bakugan, etc. The OG Yugioh isn't off the table since its been 20+ years since I watched it. Demon slayer is possible since all my old reactions are missing. Naruto I havent wayched in 15+ years so that could work too.

Anriku

I stopped reading and watching Naruto during the 4th Ninja war due to it being stretched out with the 10 tails stuff. I did read the final chapters but its been YEARS. I'll get back to X next year. It doesnt have a chance making it to YT so its lower priority.

Anriku

I'll definitely consider it. I know its much darker than S1.

Tenebris Aeulous

That would be great but naruto might be difficult. It's most likely going to be removed due to copyright.

Anriku

Yeah. Might need to think about that one for a bit.
