Comments

So far behind to comment on this but sad to see Ace of Diamond having so few votes when it's one of the best sports animes that is like Haikyuu.... hope someday a reaction channel watch it :)

Mullner

it's tough, a lot of those early 90's - 2010's animes have awful dub casting. But thats a product of the time, it wasn't a respected career like now.

Kanta

Sooo is it dub or sub? 👀

Caraxes🐐DT

Dub is better lol cry about it

Milly

I love Fruits Basket too, but I'm so sad AoD is the least voted in this poll. It's my all time favorite sports anime and Haikyuu is my second best.

Lailanie

Really so sad! It's my all time favorite sports anime.

Lailanie

I don’t need to do nothing lol it’s trash to me that’s all

Caraxes🐐DT

Nah it's not lol. Dub is great. y'll need to respect the dub as we respect both dub n sub. 😊

Milly

Dub for fruits basket is horrible so yea I hope they don’t

Caraxes🐐DT

It's an anime poll Naruto ,monster and all .. but I hope they do fruba in dub i really hope cuz we deserve dub this time tho they do sub everytime but I hope they do dub this time

Kathe

Ah ok thanks I just thought it would be for some reason

Caraxes🐐DT

It's not about that

Amir Son

Anybody know if the recent poll is asking should they do sub or dub for fruits basket? Trynna see which winning before I pay

Caraxes🐐DT

How you gone tell me what’s horrible to ME? Move around guy

Caraxes🐐DT

Not even in the slightest

Caraxes🐐DT

Idc what you saying or watch any show in…the dub is trash for this show to me idk what you talking about also you literally crying about me not wanting to watch it in dub lol stop the bs please

Caraxes🐐DT

Blue lock soon pleeeeeeeeease

Matthewlock

It is horrible sub always superior

Mark Ryan Francisco

Eh yeah after remembering them watch AOT I figure they can but still glad xela warned them, this one gets pretty intense at times but I think they can handle it 😅 hopefully.

Jay18

Let this one be in dub

Amir Son

The fact that you won't even watch it in dub if they choose dub is so ridiculous when dub watchers always have to watch it in sub for your majority. Cry. (I say this as a sub watcher the majority of the time)

💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)

The comment section serves as a platform for individuals to express their opinions. It would be advisable to maintain a level of detachment from an anime. You didn't create it, after all. People are entitled to their opinions. You're displaying excessive sensitivity.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

They seen worst

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

i was rooting for KnB too :( anyways , FruBa won yayy i still happy ! ofc dub is best !

Mahito

Same!

Amir Son

Fruba Dub hits hard all the time

Amir Son

IKR

Amir Son

Taehyung introduced me to the group in 2017, from that day he's my ultimate 🥹💗

wintae bear

I like the dub a lot actually. Not because it's easy to understand, I like it because of their performance like many people here said the voice actors did really great job. Ofc no doubt. they ate it left no crumbs.

Yuna

Im team dub too and I'm all in

Yuna

This is what happens when an anime delivers in both sub and dub lol but yup just like you, I will be sat either way 😅 we should all just be happy we’re getting a Fruba reaction at all because this masterpiece is criminally underrated 😔🤣

Jay18

Damnn intresting..

Miyamura

Always love seeing the dub vs. sub debates FruBa fans are seriously passionate lol I’m definitely team dub though but hey, whether you’re on the sub side or the dub side, im all in, and that’s what makes this anime so special for me

Miyamura

I'm hoping for that too :)

Goatjo

Exactly i absolutely adore the dub everything about it is so perfect.

Uri. M.

Hello J&J ! Thrilled to see Fruits Basket take the win! The dub really stands out to me something about the performances hits just right and adds a unique depth to the story. Of course, whether you’re team dub or sub, it’s all about what resonates with you. Either way, it’s an unforgettable masterpiece!

Uri. M.

Yas fruits basket won 😭

Uri. M.

Yes I was so happy for weeks once the reboot was announced!!! Even saw the premier for episode 1 in theaters! Also I love your profile name...I am also a V-bias, assuming that you are too :)

Jay18

Yes please 🥺

wintae bear

That’s such a cool story tho another fun fact is that Takaya was deeply involved in the reboot’s production and even worked closely with the team to ensure it stayed faithful to her vision. She also updated character designs and gave the reboot a more modern look to better match the emotional depth of the story. Plus, the 2019 reboot is the first time we got to see some manga exclusive scenes animated, truly a treat for longtime fans 😭

wintae bear

Im so happy that fruit basket won but I’ve been seeing a lot of people say that dud is pretty good and I highly and respectfully do not agree. Personally, when I watched the dub it wasn’t doing it for me. Idk I just felt more emotional when I watched it in sub but at the end of the day it’s your guys choice. I’ll be watching with you guys regardless :)

Lucy

I cannot believe I missed this poll, but I'm very happy with the results I was going to vote for FB anyway

Angélica Hernández

J&J PLEASE READ: Seeing as FB completely annihilated this poll I decided to make this post to give insight but also to personally thank you for even putting it on here and giving it a chance…I literally cried over this; hopefully you are reacting to Fruits Basket 2019 as this is the completed series with 3 seasons, this will be your first shojo anime so here is what that means: anime that is typically aimed at a female audience, but many men enjoy it as well (including my brother who is more of a Shonen watcher haha), just as women often enjoy shonen anime which is usually geared towards males i.e. (JJK, Naruto, FMAB etc). Common themes in shojo include: romance, friendship, personal struggles, and coming-of-age stories which we also refer to as slice-of-life genre in anime and they tend to be slow-burns. I recommended this one specifically because of your analytical skills as these characters are far from 2-dimensional and all…even the “background characters” have a story that get’s a deep dive and/or true appreciation. Fun Fact: In Japanese folklore, folding 1,000 paper cranes is said to grant a wish. So the author of Fruba, Natsuki Takaya, said she would always receive fan letters and art begging for a continuation of the series once the manga was completed, back when we only had the 2001 version to watch that ended in the middle of the manga, so she jokingly said she would market for a reboot if she received 1,000 paper cranes. Funny enough fans folded 1,000 paper cranes and sent them to Studio Deen and Hakusensha along with photos of the series and this helped persuade her and because she loved the English voice actors of the 2001 version she begged and insisted on them being re-casted in the reboot and they were! with the exception of a few. (Another reason to watch the dub though I don’t mind the sub either). Quick Tips:Don’t look up the show (I am speaking mainly to you Jordan) all synopsis contain major spoilers, if you HAVE to scratch your itch, you may read the episode description for episode 1. Also Furuba or Fruba are Fruits Basket’s nicknames and FB is also used in reference to it. I will most likely be posting a lot of info to help you along your journey. I hope you will eventually come to see why we all love and enjoy Fruits Basket so much…it may rip your heart out and stomp all over it but it will also fix it up and put it back in good as new and for some; even for the better. (And I promise that not all of my comments will be this long, just give me my moment haha). So sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy the heart-warming rollercoaster that is Fruits Basket!!! 🍙

Jay18

@NeuroticNeko I think media should be consumed critically. The country of origin, the culture, the history, the language, the genre, etc., are integral to the creation and deep understanding of any piece of art. Lumping things together does a disservice to critical consumption. I think including any animated media under a single reaction channel is great. However, one should understand details and distinctions of the piece of media one is watching.

antionette7

It's not horrible lol

Rik

Slim shady I would never go against you. Yes dub all the way sir.

Rik

HOLY MOLY BROCOLLI I LOVE THAT ONE DAWG

Rik

I'm sad too:(

Rik

Nd the thing is dub hits so nostalgic

Rik

Nah dub is better

Rik

Yup

Rik

Fruba was my first shoujo nd I really hope they do this one in DUB man !

Rik

Nah dub is better

Rik

Yea hopefully because the dub is horrible for fruits basket

Caraxes🐐DT

Please in Japanese! lol imma just be sad cuz i definitely ain’t watching in dub so hopefully they react to sub and watch dub for the recap or whatever

Caraxes🐐DT

LOVE FRUITS BASKET ! But in Japanese 🙇🏽‍♀️ Your choice on language, I’m just happy it’s got a chance 🥹

Paypayy

It get’s sad sometimes but it has some light moments too. 😊

Jay18

Yup I even watched some of the big scenes in dub to make sure and idk imo it’s legit horrible in comparison

Caraxes🐐DT

Sub is way better than dub I have no interest in watching for nostalgic purposes lol especially when the reactors didn’t even watch the first fruits basket…they should watch sub and dub alone like they usually do

Caraxes🐐DT

Fruit basket is good but it’s super depressing.

NG

Yess we deserve it 😭 and it's 💯 worth it ✨

Kathe

Plus They always do sub for the majority, and watch dub after. we should get a dub for our ppl to. Either FB or FMAB should be in dub.

I absolutely love her !

Kathe

I mean I get it that nothing beats japanese when we're talking about anime but ig fruba dub was really worth it tho

Kathe

I'm on team dub 💯 it's actually good idk why people are saying otherwise

Kathe

please let it be subbedddd

vocal 200

For Fruits Basket please watch it in the original Japanese with subtitles, it's just way better in my opinion

Wisteriia

Completely agree, imo sub is way better

Wisteriia

I always wonder about this distinction. Like sure it's not 'technically anime', but for the purpose of watching reactions where does it go? Does there need to be another channel for donghua or for other animated series? I've never really understood why it needs to be separated as if anime is somehow superior. Like rather than an anime react channel it needs to be called an animated series reaction channel? I'm not trying to be snarky here, I am genuinely curious about why I see this distinction made a lot. Is there a reason I'm not getting?

Neko

It's so good. I weighted my choices to completed series. S4 of AoD was announced in May, so once that comes out I'll be out here lobbying

Neko

EXACTLY

wintae bear

I’m so hyped to see FruBa winning finally a shoujo getting the spotlight it deserves, and what better choice than this absolute gem? Plus, it’s awesome that this is gonna be your first shoujo. Did you know Fruits Basket is one of the best-selling shoujo manga ever and was the first to win the prestigious Kodansha Manga Award? The original 2001 anime only adapted part of the manga, but the 2019 reboot goes all the way to the end, so it's better to react to 2019 version cause its completed. so you get the full emotional rollercoaster. I’m 100% team dub for this one. Laura Bailey as Tohru is perfection her voice is so warm and genuine, it makes Tohru’s kindness feel real. Jerry Jewell absolutely crush it as Kyo too, bringing out all their angst and growth. Also, the reboot’s animation is stunning, and the way it dives deeper into the characters’ backstories will hit you right in the feels. Honestly, I can’t wait to see your reaction you’re in for a ride!

Kazuya

I’ve always loved the Fruits Basket dub I mostly watch anime in sub but fruba dub was worth it. the cast brings so much life to the characters. Laura Bailey’s Tohru is pure perfection, and Eric Vale and Jerry Jewell do an amazing job capturing Yuki and Kyo’s struggles. The 2019 version is a must watch since it finishes the whole story and gives all the characters the closure they deserve. Plus, seeing the same cast back after all these years makes it even more emotional.

Alice

This is what we call "an opinion" it's cool for you to have one, everyone does, that objectively doesn't make either inherently "better" in any situation. Let people like what they like man

💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)

So glad Fruba is winning a poll for once! Like so many people have said, I also prefer this one in dub! Especially Laura Bailey! But sub is still good :)

💥Katsuki BakuGOAT💥(Kacchan)

I'm the weird one. I prefer the dub in the 2001 version (no disrespect but Yuki's voice in sub is not it). But I prefer the sub in the 2019 version even though majority of the dub cast returned for the remake. lol

CandykOh

Not anime (it’s a Chinese donghua) but one of my absolute favorite! Worth watching!

antionette7

There should be a couple trigger warnings honestly, there is some violence but it’s hard to not spoil things. Great job letting them know though, I was and am a little worried how they will react to certain things that can trigger people but I hope it doesn’t have any negative impact on them or hit too close to home for them to get through 😔

Jay18

...

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

I like both for FB~ the dub does a really good job, and that is soooo rare for anime.

britt m

Youre right! Good looking out, babes!

britt m

I know!!! AoD was sooo good, and I'm not even into baseball. For me, it's up there with Haikyuu 😭 I'm so sad it's not as popular as other sports anime...

britt m

In shambles that ace of the diamond is getting no votes 💔

Max Max

I hope "Link Click" makes it into one of these someday 😭😭😭

Amir Son

Yass

Amir Son

Omg I love you

Amir Son

That’s very thoughtful and considerate of their feelings. I’ve never seen it so this was kind and done without spoiling anything. ❤️

Cheryl Lambert

HI J&J!!! fruits basket is an AMAZING anime, but there's a major trigger warning y'all should be aware of and i'm sorry this is technically a spoiler but please keep reading. throughout the story it's mentioned practically once per episode, [TRIGGER WARNING] there's a parental death. i'd still love for y'all to watch it because i know we as viewers would love to see you both dissect the shit out of it, but if no one's mentioned it yet, i want you both to know what you're going into and to take care of yourselves and each other. love you both! hope you're having an amazing timezone <3

xela

AGREE 💯 the english dub is really good and the actors do a really great job (like Laura Bailey (I think it's her name) for Tohru). AND KYO'S VA ATE !

Yuna

It was so funny and so cute. I loved it

Jay18

Lovely complex was good too ryt ? I don't remember the story that much it's been years

Yuna

Code geass is definitely goated

Yuna

Thank you so much! My dad actually chose the name Yuna for me. He always liked its meaning and how it sounds

Yuna

Oooh Banana Fish, Yo a of the dawn and Nana yesss I have never seen Code Geass but it’s in my watch list

Jay18

Banana fish, yona of the dawn, skip beat, Nana, orange , Code Geass (the manga adaptation is shoujo), bro code geass is like THE TOP TIER LIKE ITS ON ANOTHER LEVEL

Yuna

Yes more faithful and also it’s completed the 2001 one was produced before the manga was completed.

Jay18

😂😂😂😂

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

i think you could enjoy Akatsuki no Yona, one of my fave shojos too ! it has elements that could appeal to shounen fans—like a strong lead with a though journey, action, team dynamics and adventure. the story really picks up as it goes, with interesting character growth and some cool action sequences along the way. if you haven’t check it out, maybe you could enjoy that one !

Lina

lol okay I love Orange!! Try re-life

Jay18

i prefer the dub sorry. VA cast for the english dub is goated for sure ! love love love the performances ! seeing their growth from 2001 to 2019 is honestly so underrated. i dont watch many dubs but fruits basket dub is special they are really good. and J&J i'd recommend the 2019 version of fruits basket. its a complete adaptation of the manga and does an amazing job telling the story ! CANT WAIT

Slim shady

I'm just messing with you Jade. But l already like a couple. That's My name and silent voice. And l watched Orange and that was ok

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Brainless fighting.. Ouch. Look for one myself? Okay, Yuna. ... Oh. Wait. I forgot. You're not Yuna.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Nooooo lol

Jay18

Man I will never forgive you if they do the dub!!! 🤣🤣

Caraxes🐐DT

Aww I’m sorry you feel that way. I felt the same way when they did AOT in sub but I just had to bite the bullet lol like I said I don’t mind either one too be honest so we shall see.

Jay18

Why don’t you just use the internet and do some research to find one that resonates with you? Thats what I did with Shounen cause I thought it was all just brainless fighting without any plot and bland characters and then I found FMAB and found out that’s not always the case.

Jay18

Man it’s the opposite for me lol I just love all they sub voice especially tohru but I even just checked again to see what the dub sound like and man is it a big difference to me 🤣🤣

Caraxes🐐DT

i watched in both haha but idk why im addicted to kyo's dub its so fun lol

wintae bear

Man I hope they react in sub and watch it after in dub like they did jjk

Caraxes🐐DT

i personally have no problem watching sub or dub but its on J&J guys you can try watching it sub or dub first

wintae bear

Yea but just because it’s easier don’t mean they should watch it lol sub is the better version I mean if anything they can just react to sub and watch the dub on the 2nd watch like they did for jjk…I said lying but I know people probably just enjoy the dub more for the reason you said so it ws just me calling cap not really saying you guys are lying to j&j….ill just be sad if they react to dub cuz I been wanting this since I started the channel and now that its finally here I have to worry about them watching dub 🤣🤣

Caraxes🐐DT

I don’t know if people are”lying” per say like I like both versions but FB was my first anime and I watched the 2001 version so to see the original cast from 2001 all come back to voice their characters in the 2019 version made me happy and resonated with me and felt so nostalgic so that’s kind of why I recommend it because it’s actually done well and like I keep saying, I personally feel like it’s easier for newer anime fans, especially if they’re new to shoujo to follow

Jay18

Nah it’s not fine to me lol dub is trash for fruits basket in comparison to the sub smh I’ll be so sad if they watch dub

Caraxes🐐DT

It’s totally fine ig it’s up to J&J to choose what they vibe with Both versions are great in their own way, so I’m just excited for them to experience FB

Goatjo

Well, your recommendation really paid off! FB deserves all the love it’s getting, and I’m so glad people are recognizing how amazing it is. Great taste with FMAB too both are absolute gems 💯🥺

Goatjo

Yuna. Recommend me a shoujo u think a shonen world love

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

I just checked to make sure I wasn’t tripping and the dub is horrible in comparison to sub lmao

Caraxes🐐DT

OMG you're named after one of my favorite FF character Yuna Braska. Yuna in Japanese the name means "kindness," "superiority," and "gentleness". Talk about sensitive. FF10 made me cried like a baby. You liking Fruit Basket it's like ur living up to your name. Best name in the world!!! iii Na Yuna!!!

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Of course 😊 it’s my favorite anime along with FMAB but I never in a million years thought it would win and beat out the other anime’s suggested 😅 so glad I was wrong ✨

Jay18

If you watch fruits basket I really hope you watching it in Japanese….the voice acting is far better than the dub I have no clue why people lying saying dub is better than

Caraxes🐐DT

Lmaooo well hope you’re having fun friend

Jay18

I'm rooting for KnB too !

Goatjo

I just wanted to thank Jay18 cause she's the one who first recommended fruits basket 😭 THANK YOU

Goatjo

No? Sub is way better than dub lmfao

Caraxes🐐DT

Ik ik it's fine it's just everyone is voting for FB bt then suddenly boom a first hate comment drops now here we go..

Yuna

No. I'm reading an esoteric book atm. In between my free time l troll.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

It's my real name !

Yuna

Nah tbh it's just seems that way uk Fans are passionate, not sensitive, when it comes to something they love. Naruto is my top fav too btw. I'm hoping for it too ! But hey, Play on words or not, it seems more bitterness than humor. If Fruits Basket isn’t your thing, that’s totally fine ! No pressure I hope you can enjoy another shoujo tho !

Yuna

Respectful? It's an anime. It's not a real person. Fruit Basket has no real feelings. I don't like it, yeah. But my reply is just me messing with the fans. I do that with all the anime. I trash talk HxH the most and HxH fans responded by trash talking my favorite anime back lol It's nothing personal. Voting in this pole means war. So u have to insult it. That's the name of the game in these polls

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Duh 🙄 that’s why we like Fruits Basket. Are you going to spend your day doing this? Nothing to do huh?

Jay18

I love Naruto! I hope it makes a poll too and wins

Jay18

Oh you’re going to love it!!!

Jay18

Exactly!

Jay18

It’s funny how Fruits Basket being ahead has people throwing tantrums and calling it names. Stay pressed it’s still a classic.

Yuna

The last time I watched Fruits Basket was over a decade ago with the 2001 ver so I’m excited to see this 2019 reboot with J&J

PM

Fruits Basket is far from ‘rotten.’ It’s a beautifully crafted story with layers of emotion and depth that might not be for everyone, but calling it anything less than impactful is just missing the point. Glad to see it getting the recognition it deserves in this poll! If someone thinks it’s ‘rotten,’ maybe they should just keep that opinion to themselves and let others enjoy it in peace. Thank you.

Dragon's spirit

lol you could not like it and keep it respectful honestly. They have reactions to so many other anime’s, go watch one of them instead happily I’m sure we’ll all be okay.

Jay18

Yeah. Well you might like it. HxH because FB and HxH has something in common. They both suck. But FB is better than HxH. FB isn't a bad anime I'm just not interested in these kinds of anime.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

I'm not interested in this one. I regret it. I watched it and felt it and regreted it. But. Each there own. I hope Naruto wins. It'll take this sour bitter taste of rotten Fruit Basket out my mouth

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Yeah. I'm watching it but lm not interested. The plot doesn't have that shock factor to me. I guess lm not a shoujo person. Although, l won't be watching this reaction, I am glad that you shoujo fans has something. I'm a shonen fan so l get really bored over FB because l feel it doesn't have an interesting plot that grabs me. Knowing the type of anime l like, if you would prescribe me to a shoujo you think will turn shonen, what would your suggestion be? Or Because lm not interested in FB, is there any hope for me? Lol

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Just to be clear for anyone who wants to watch Fruits Basket before J&J make sure you watch the 2019 version as it is the completed version.

Jay18

im with everyone on this the fruits basket dub is top-tier. it really does justice to the story and characters.

bangtans bora

Is the 2019 more faithful to the source material

Alpha

OH MY GOD i came back to see how the poll was going and i never though fruits basket would be winning SKDNSNSN 😭😭😭 shoujo is one of my fave genres ever and what a place to start on your journey than fruits basket… it’s also a genre and an anime that’s so underrated bc most reactors watch mostly shonen/seinen… so i’m so so excited 🥹 you’ll see this anime is so much more than romance, even tho the romance is top tier too 🤍

Lina

Fruits Basket 🥰

Rubi

I also agree that the dub version for Fruits Basket is way better that the sub, its less "highpitched or childish" specially for the main female's voice :)

Rheyia Pomar

Kuroko No Basket & Blue Lock Both amazing sport anime,, Run with the wind is short and good one too 👍🏻 But... OMG I Can't believe Fruits Basket is winning so HAPPY 😸

Badriya

OMG im currently watching S2 of Fruits Basket and im stoke that you're starting your shoujo journey with this! I personally voted for Slam Dunk because it holds so much memories from my childhood and tis really super duper funny! and you know, BASKETBALL! but im not butthurt so Im not gonna be sulking just because its not winning, I wish one of these days you get to watch that though 😊

Rheyia Pomar

kinda sad seeing Kuroko no Basket lose but hopefully you’ll still watch it in the future, I feel like you will enjoy it a lot.

Nahla

Hey J&J! If Fruits Basket wins, I'd be interested in helping you guys with the comments to avoid spoilers and such. 😁

CandykOh

Actually I love watching in japanese but the dub for Fruits Basket (2019) is honestly amazing! The voice actors nailed the emotions, and it’s super easy to follow while watching. Definitely a solid choice if you’re thinking of reacting to it!

Milly

Heyy Jared and Jordan! If you guys decide to watch Fruits Basket, it’ll be your first shoujo anime, and honestly, there’s no better place to start. It’s an absolute classic in the genre, with a perfect mix of heartfelt moments, complex characters, and meaningful themes that go way beyond just romance. Fun fact: Fruits Basket is based on a manga by Natsuki Takaya, and it’s one of the best-selling shoujo manga of all time! There are two anime versions the 2001 version and the 2019 reboot. I’d recommend reacting to the 2019 version since it’s a complete adaptation of the manga, covering the full story with modern animation and incredible voice acting. The reboot captures the raw emotions of the manga and gives you a deeper understanding of each character’s struggles. It’s the kind of story that stays with you long after it’s over. I can’t wait to see how you react to the mix of humor, heartbreak, and hope in this amazing anime! IM SO HAPPY ITS WINNING YAYY

Alice

I cant wait for otaku gold slot....really want naruto to win

Sakshi Tiwari

FRUITS BASKET IN DA HOUSE!!!

Kathe

It is criminally underrated

Jay18

Fruit Basket!!!!

Teater

I also watched the dub of this actually which I don’t normally do!

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

OMG FRUIT BASKET!!! I’m so thankful that it’s winning. There’s barely any reactors that react to this show and it’s so good😭

Lucy

Whoa!! Fruits Basket is wining!! I voted for both Fruits Basket 🍙 and Kuroko No Basket 🏀 but am pleasantly surprised Fruits Basket is wining, i'm super happy if it wins 😆 y'all will not regret choosing to watch it!! (watch the 2019 one please!!!) I read the manga periodically, worth it 💖 its good story and is Definitely in my top 10 favorite Anime 💐

Alva S

LMAO same but i think it would fit best for replacing hunter hunter slot

carmen 🫧

I agree completely! I never vote for dub but Furuba's dub is special and I believe J&J will understand everything better and i love what you had to say about this anime...it is truly a masterpiece..a 4.9/5 for a reason!

Jay18

I'm so happy to see Fruits Basket is winning right now, it's obvious that there are hundreds of great anime but getting a Shojo anime that most people would agree is a beautiful story on J&Js radar is everything 🤩 I first watched the original and then went back to read the manga because the anime just missed so much, so then when they did the 2019 reboot I was so happy! It's perfect ❤️ I will advocate for watching in dub and my reasoning is simply that feelings / emotion / tone of voice make a big difference and I worry the guys will misunderstand / read sub in their own way instead of the intended tone. It's not the end of the world, I just do believe the guys might enjoy FB more if they watch in dub, plus the dub is done great 😃

fox

I will forever advocate for My Hero Academia😂

Monae Laudat

I think I’m having more of an issue with the “basket” part but the play on words for “basket case” actually makes sense when you think about it lol

Jay18

🤣 I've been thinking about it now and maybe it's just the s on fruits 🤣🤣🤣 like idk - somehow Fruit Basket would sound better. And it's not like I can think of a better name really 🥴 Mostly just wondering if it's the same for anyone else

Neko

I don't mind it but it's weird saying it when I recommend it out loud lol but I love when people get the a-ha moment when the title is explained.

Jay18

Either one is fine, honestly; I love both dub and sub. Whichever one they pick will be good.

Yris

Fruits baskets! 😭 omg I never thought. Love everyone of yah.

Yris

I love both as well but it’s rare to get a decent dub and Furuba’s dub is sooooo good lol and delivers!! But honestly I’m just so happy it’s here😊

Jay18

I didn’t say anything about Shounen 😅 and when I said ew I only meant it because it was winning the poll. I mentioned my reasons in my other comments. I don’t have an issue watching it I just don’t want to see their reaction to it but if it wins I was still going to watch it

kevin (btw i'm a girl)

i feel like dub is deb better but since most anime watchers love watching it sub they might watch it in sub. not complaining cuz i’ve watch both sub and dub before

carmen 🫧

Girl how can you say ew when you haven't seen it??? 😂 Fruits Basket is an actual masterpiece. Just because it's not shounen doesn't mean it's not good~

britt m

FRUITS BASKET IS WINNING?! OMGGG IM DOWN FOR THAT!!

britt m

Okay never even imagined Fruits Basket would dominate, I love you guys for this! 💜 so obviously they need to watch the Fruits Basket 2019 version…but do we all agree they should watch it dub? I feel like the emotions and one of the major plot twists are handled better in the dub and it will help J&J follow the story better.

Jay18

FRUITS BASKET LETS GOOOO

Amir Son

lmao just watch it when j&j reacts. ur gonna love it

carmen 🫧

Fruits basket - it’s not even a fave but we really need a show with a woman lead…although at least we have Arcane now

Lauren H.

I know it’s probably good I tend to like almost anything I watch but I was saying ew cuz it was winning 🤣

kevin (btw i'm a girl)

💯 it's one of my favorites

Neko

I’m not interested in a reaction of it 😅 I do want to see it tho but for them I just want to watch them react to something else

kevin (btw i'm a girl)

I get you! The name threw me off too at first, but once you get into the story, it’s worth it 😭💯🤌🏻

wintae bear

Saying ew for something you never seen is a bit crazy idk lol

Caraxes🐐DT

Ok confession: even though they do explain "fruits basket" the concept, I still hate the name so much 😅 I don't really know why 🤣 - it just bugs me Edit to include that the show itself is 🥰

Neko

This is obvious trolling because you saying this means you have NEVER seen it.

Jay18

🤣 you gotta try it then! No ewww!!! ☠️

Neko

crazy how you are not interested in something you haven't watched. bold move.

Mahito

Ewwww fruits basket. I haven’t seen it so that’s why I’m not interested.

kevin (btw i'm a girl)

FRUITS BASKET WINS OR NOT BUT I HOPE THEY REACT TO IT SOMEHOW

Eren

Hoping for Fruits Basket

Shayle Needham

Nothing special when it’s one of the best anime ever lol sure that makes sense

Caraxes🐐DT

spy family is so wholesome i hope it wins

1nonlynox

really glad to see fruits basket om top

Tina

blue lock season 2 sucks

Tina

actually it goes beyond a typical slice of life, its about healing, relationships, and finding strength in vulnerability. its worth a deeper look and i really want them react to a shoujo finally.

Tina

🤣 I haven't watched HxH yet. I probably will eventually though. I'm pretty casual with most shows, I just want it to be entertaining. FB was definitely special for me though, it felt like I could connect with and care about every character, even the antagonist has a story. Now that I'm thinking about it, I want to watch it again. ❤️

Neko

Whoever chose SpyFamily, you mess up, anime went down the drain. Season 1 was overhyped, then season 2 and the Movie went under the radar

Federico Toxqui

Fruits basket it’s alright nothing special. It’s just a slice of life anime kind of thing

Federico Toxqui

oh my god I'm so happy people are voting for fruits basket, you guys won't regret it. it's such a great anime and I'm pretty sure j&j will love it as much as we do!!

kiki

I agree. Spy family has some funny and cute episodes but a lot of boring episodes too

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

ok. I'm on it. But if you're a HxH fan, I have little hope in your suggestions. But lmma give it a try.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

FRUITS BASKET

carmen 🫧

Ok. I'm gonna watch it now

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

FRUITS BASKET IS A CLASSIC SHOJO DOUBLE J ! PLEASE WATCH IT

Mahito

So glad that a shojo became one of the firsts choices !

Maevizion ~ Maëva

IM LITTERLY TEARING UP WHATTT I CANT BELIVE FRUITS BASKET IS HERE

Nihaa

FRUITS BASKET JDNFFJNJFNFJFN OMGG

Nihaa

Surprised fruits basket here but it’s so good I’m happy it’s even listed….i have no doubt you guys will enjoy it and it’s much different from all the other anime you guys seen so far. Just to clarify the one you guys should watch is fruits basket 2019 version because the first fruits basket don’t really follow the manga also watch sub not dub!!

Caraxes🐐DT

i love this fruits basket comments ! feels so good to be backk

Eren

ik but i really want them to react to fruits basket

Eren

Not a bad idea but idk if they’ll go for it. We need a slice-of-life tier lol

Jay18

god i still remember reading fruits basket in our university cafe lots of memories

bangtans bora

since thurs is a sports anime maybe we should let kuroko win and then have another day for fruits basket 🤪 i really want them to watch fruits basket but also kuroko no basket

carmen 🫧

I would say Spy Family is good, but ranks as my second to last on this list - and that's only because I haven't watched Slam Dunk yet. SpyFam just seems like a cute SOL and there's not a lot to really react to. For Fruits Basket though, it really is that impressive. If it doesn't win, you should give it a watch for sure.

Neko

tbh i can rewatch fruits basket so many times and i never get bored. it’s soo good… def recommend to watch. even if it doesn’t win the poll it’s still worth to watch on ur own.

carmen 🫧

fruits basket and spy family !!

Shinae

OK, I've revaluated. I feel like it makes the most sense to go with completed series. Kuroko, Fruits Basket, and Run with the Wind. It's a clean watch and J&J won't have to come back to it later (or worse, never get back at all)

Neko

i hope you guys give a chance to fruits basket tho its a gem tbh

Mahito

exacly

Mahito

It’s honestly a must see

Jay18

I’m over the moon seeing Fruits Basket on the poll! This anime has such a special place in my heart because it’s not just entertaining; it’s deeply impactful. It’s got hilarious moments that’ll have you cracking up, but it also delivers so much warmth and sincerity that it feels like a warm hug. Knowing you might experience this gem makes me so excited watching Fruits Basket feels like connecting with old friends, and I can’t wait for you to meet them too ! 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Rihan

FRUITS BASKET IS ABSOLUTE RIDE !

Pleeease

Jay18

FRUITS BASKET 💯!!! The fact that Fruits Basket is on your poll is a dream come true! This anime is pure joy wrapped in heartfelt storytelling. From the lovable cast to the genuinely funny and emotional moments, it has everything you could ever want in a show. Seeing you experience it for the first time would be amazing because it’s such a transformative story it’s not just about entertainment; it’s about understanding yourself and others in the most beautiful way. It's a journey of joy, tears, and love that will stay with you forever guys 😭

Slim shady

I only watched spy family out of this list. I never seen the other ones. Lots of people on this post is talking about FB. Tell you what, if I see fruit basket catching up to the basketball anime, I'd change my vote.

Itachi Uchiha (Ericken)

Dandadan is a must guys!

FRUITS BASKETT!!!! I LOVE TO SEE IT ON THE POLL, IT WOULD BE A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO THE SHOUJO GENRE FOR J&J PLEASE VOTE FOR IT GUYSS!

kiki

"Bts of anime"🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Slim shady

Fruits basket has an AMAZING female protagonist, and is so well written. It's funny to see it mixed in with the male sports animes (And SpyxFamily which is so WHOLESOME). which are also rlly goof but just so random jaja. Hope it wins and if not, next time 💪

WuwuCb

Sameeee

Zaria Parker

I call it the BTS of anime because of exactly what you said, it catches you completely off guard. It is literally the best slice-of-life out there. So well written.

Jay18

Wow 🥺

wintae bear

I'm gonna cry

wintae bear

Fruits Basket starts off like oh this is so light -hearted and fun and then actually ends up containing really moving storytelling that caught me off guard. I can’t wait for you guys to at least eventually get to it

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

Slam dunk is classic

Joshuuu

Season 2 is trashh

Dragon's spirit

I double checked it lol

Dragon's spirit

Seeing Fruits Basket on the poll has absolutely made my day! It’s one of those shows that’s not just fun to watch but also incredibly heartwarming and meaningful. The characters are so lovable, the humor is spot-on, and the emotional moments hit you right in the feels without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of joy, laughter, and just enough drama to keep you hooked. I can already imagine how much fun it’ll be to see your reactions to all the hilarious and heartfelt moments. Fruits Basket is the kind of anime that stays with you it makes you laugh, cry, and ultimately leaves you feeling so fulfilled. I’m genuinely so happy it’s on the poll and hope you give it a chance. You won’t just be watching an anime you’ll be stepping into an unforgettable journey! I hope you watch this one j&j ! 😭❤️

Dragon's spirit

honestly I prefer The First Slam Dunk movie than anime series....but anyway, I voted for other series 🤣

mamimumemo

Vote for it friend!

Jay18

Fruits Basket!! It's the very first manga I ever read that got me into the world of anime. It goes through a tale of a curse, what it means to love, and to heal with one another, a mystery all wrapped into one! I would love to see what discussions the two of you would have from this series! I hope you guys will consider this one at some point<3

Brittany

FRUITS BASKET IS HERE !!??

Dragon's spirit

I knowww it's been a long 😭

Milly

carmen 🫧

That’s literally why I keep recommending it because I know the guys will love it.

Jay18

Wow, Fruba ftw!

EdTheAlchemist

Havent seen frieren anywhere Im about to g’et mad 😧

Imran

I really hope they react to this masterpiece tho 🥹

Milly

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Fruits Basket actually made the poll! Please vote for this anime especially if you’ve never seen it. It is such a well written anime

Jay18

Just season 1 Would be Nice

Imran

FRUITS BASKET IS HERE ???! HOLY SPIRITS YASSSS

Milly

IKRR

Aestheticly joe

J & J PLEASE DO FRUITS BASKET!! This anime is a masterpiece of storytelling. Fruits Basket weaves love, pain, and healing into a narrative that stays with you forever. You need to see it to understand its magic 🤌🏻😭

Aestheticly joe

i am begging for Bluelock lol

Philbo

KUROKO NO BASKET, THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT J&J! YOU ARE AMAZING! THEY WILL LOVE WATCHING EVEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY PLAYED BASKETBALL! I HOPE KUROKO WINS! LET'S GO LET'S GO!

Ana Carolina Diniz Guedes

Ace of Diamond is so underrated but it’s amazing! It started my love for sports anime

Gabrielle S.

I'm DYING to start S2 of Blue Lock, but have to wait until the last episode is posted so I can binge the whole season in a day. 😂 I've seen a lot of articles about the animation being pretty bad, so I'm preparing myself by watching an early 00s anime. How have you all been finding the animation? Is it terrible?

Neko

Agree 💯

Kathe

FRUITS BASKET is more than an anime it’s an emotional masterpiece that will break you, heal you, and stay with you forever. The characters feel so real, the story is beautifully raw, and every episode leaves a lasting impact. It’s a journey worth takingyou won’t regret it J&J!

Kathe

I hope you guys react to Fruits basket i really really hope 😭❤️🥺

Alice

I was honestly surprised by Run with the Wind when I watched it. 🔥

Neko

Fruits Basket isn’t just an anime—it’s an emotional journey that stays with you long after it ends. It’s a perfect blend of heartfelt storytelling, deep character development, and moments that will have you laughing, crying, and reflecting on life. What makes Fruits Basket special is how it explores themes of family, love, trauma, and healing in such a profound way. Every character has a story that feels so human and relatable, and you can’t help but root for them as they grow. Plus, the twists, emotional highs, and powerful reveals make it an incredible experience for both new and seasoned anime fans. It’s not just about romance or drama; it’s about understanding yourself and others. Jared and Jordan, I promise this anime will wreck your emotions in the best way possible and become one of your most unforgettable reactions!

Alice

I’m so happy to see Fruits Basket on a poll 😁 such a great show

Zaria Parker

praying for blue lock or spy family

Dante

Not me 😭 because I like all these options and will be happy no matter what. 😂 Thursday will stay my favorite day for a while longer. ...my votes are staying with the sports anime for now though 😉

Neko

That seems really cool actually

Alpha

Fruits basket is gem guys 😭🤌🏻

Yuna

there is the Slam Dunk movie that was released.

WuXian Suibian

Run with the Wind is so under rated!! It's short, just one season of 23 episodes. It is a slice of life where the characters are connected through sports. What I love about is that the characters are NOT high school students, they are 20+ year old attending university on the verge of adulthood which brings its own sorts of problems. The cast of character is diverse and interesting but so is their growth through out the series. The emotional impact of the series reminds me of Haikyuu and as soon as I finished the series I had to rewatch it again. If you have it watched, you should.

WuXian Suibian

FRUITS BASKET IS MASTERPIECE PLEASE I HOPE YOU GUYS REACT TO THIS ONE

Goatjo

Me personally I don’t mind season 2. I mainly love the anime/manga for the characters and story

kevin (btw i'm a girl)

Ah yeahhh Carmennn! I totally forgot the HxH slot lol. I remember I suggested Black Clover as replacement for HxH. Got too excited sorry 😅

J-Lee

Yeah no that's fine. It's your opinion so I don't think you're hating. However it started good for me and the finale is still to come so I'm giving it a chance to redeem itself lol. I am still in for it and keeping me on edge 😁🤭

J-Lee

i ain’t complaining with this poll cuz the ones winning i don’t mind rewatching with j&j 😎😎

carmen 🫧

I would love if Fruits Basket win TT I think it would suit you well (compared to your commentaries and deep reviews on other animes)

Océane

FRUITS BASKET PLESE DOUBLE J I BEG YOUUU

wintae bear

i think black clover should replace hxh since it’s a long anime

carmen 🫧

oh my godddd i DREAMED of a poll including fruits basket i didn’t think it would come so fast one of my faves ever 😭🤍 i voted for it but also kuroko no basket, it’s been on my to watch list and i would love to watch it with u guys

Lina

but kuroko basket or even blue lock

carmen 🫧

FRUITSBASKET

carmen 🫧

Either blue lock or Knb I'm fine with either

Shivo

I voted for Kuroko no Basket cause I know the twins would appreciate watching a basketball anime! It's also more modern but from what I know it's a lot more unrealistic. Slam Dunk is more realistic but I believe it's much older, and the anime never fully adapted the manga. So it doesn't have a true ending. Kuroko no Basket is fully adapted and has a reasonable amount of episodes (3 seasons) as opposed to Slam Dunk which has 100ish episodes but no true ending.

Alpha

I really hope Kuroko wins because I loved the anime and since you two love basketball it would be amazing too see your perspective on how they play basketball in the anime

Michael Nguyen

Hope you don’t think I’m hating or anything but blue lock season 2 is so disappointing they messed up the best arc of the series

Khadija Hosten

Ahhh my Black Clover did not make any of the polls yet but let's go for Blue Lock yaasss! 🙌🏻⚽

J-Lee

Spy Family & Bluelock is the right choice , also Fruitbasket 🍌💦

accomplice

Still sad Yowamushi Pedal still not getting love😔😅

Sean Harding

🏀

Alva S

You guys often talk about how you used to play basketball in high school so I hope Kuroko’s basket wins this poll. You’re going to love it.

Khadija Hosten

Kuroko no Basuke, then Blue Lock 💙

BLUE LOCKKK ⚽️⚽️
