poll time

HAPPY 2025 EVERYONE!!

it's time for another patreon poll where you all decide which show i watch next! whichever wins this poll will replace the M/W/Fr spot for the next few weeks!

thank you all for posting your show recommendations yesterday. it was reeeeally really hard to narrow down these shows, but if one of these shows doesn't win, there is still a chance i'll react to it sometime in the future.

i focused more on romance and fantasy options this time around.

i also have been eyeing windbreaker and classroom of the elite lately; so for anyone asking for either of those shows, i will be watching one of them after i finish squid game!

also, as a side note, this winter i'll be reacting to apothecary diaries S2 and sakamoto days, so you can look out for those as well 😇

THANKS FOR VOTING AND PLEASE DON'T FIGHT IN THE COMMENTS THANK UUUU

thank you all for a lovely 2024! wishing you all good health and blessings for the new year ❤️ i'm excited to see which show wins!

PEAK BOX

Other way around, James. Joe gets it.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

I'm sure she will get to it one day and it'll be like a Fruits Basket situation where it ends up being one of her favorites on the channel

Jason Parker

Excited for apothecary diaries!

Benni

YES PEAK BLUE BOX IS WINNING YALL ARE AMAZING

Jonathan keogh

Yes windbreaker and blue box

C. J. Ramirez

Voted Blue Box/Ao no Hako because of recency mostly (and it‘s good). I will be watching MHM s2 too. If there is a choice between current seasonals and classics, i will prefer the reaction to the new, even if i like the other shows. I also know that the backlog is always growing, because every entry that makes it into a poll is worth it, and a few more.. ;-)

GIRLLL you are NOT ready for Madoka😭😭

RedSinity

Mmm no, you didn't really watch enough then. it's a slow burn that rewards you as you watch it and pay attention to its nuance, especially going into episode 6-7 and into the ending. It has a very carthatic ending with its last episode especially. It's not made to be an anime that you get hit over the head with the obviousness, which you do see with Makeine, hence its "anime"-ness. You're right, there is a lot of personality with Makeine's characters because there's not much subtlety, everything is a lot more spelled out front and center with them.

Joe Gunawan

something something recency bias, but blue box is so good it’s fine, Madoka can wait:D

Verols

You should watch both Blue Box and Madoka Magica haha. Blue Box is a very well executed vanilla high school romance, but Madoka really is something truly unique and personally I think it's a masterpiece.

James Moss

I watched 5 episodes of Stepsister which I feel is enough to get a sense of what it's going for. Agreed that it's well directed but I just didn't find the characters interesting at all and personally I didn't really find it all the realistic. Makeine is definitely more "anime" for sure, although I don't think it's portrayals of romance were less realistic at all to be honest and the characters are 100x more interesting and full of personality. Not trying to throw shade on Stepsister haha. I see it's appeal, I just feel like it's really only for a very specific type of person so those type of "best anime of the year" expectations are a bit unrealistic for most imo.

James Moss

Happy New Year! I look forward to the series that wins in the polls!

Toontaku

It just HAS to be Madoka Magica, but alas, the poll is speaking 😔😔 I've a feeling that many are voting for Blue Box because they haven't seen the other shows

Jon Daux

I'm dying, Blue Box is good sure but absurdly predictable and thus frustrating, come on guys please 😭😭😭

Jon Daux

But Makeine stayed true to its name as the Loosing Heroine, coming in 2nd place in multiple awards

Joe Gunawan

Makeine was entertaining, but it was more "anime" in its romance while Stepsister was more grounded in realism and plays and was animated/directed more like an indie art house film. Doesn't sound like you watched the entire season of Days with My Stepsister. I watched both and still preferred Stepsisters.

Joe Gunawan

They must have weird taste then cause Makeine was 10x better than Stepsister.

James Moss

honestly im good with anything in the poll but if i could vote for it id really like to see you watch classroom of the elite after squid games over windbreaker

FlavoredSnacks

When solo leveling

Matt Rhinehart

Blue Box for sure! It's so good and the Manga is even better after this season. Also, I still say you Gotta watch Days with my Stepsister. It's one of the best slice of life and romance anime this year. On Anime Corner, it won the Summer 2024 Anime of the Season, and also won: 🏅 Best Adaptation 🏅 Best Slice of Life 🏅 Best Drama 🏅 Best Soundtrack 🏅 Best Storytelling 🏅 Best New Anime 🏅 Best Male Seiyuu

Joe Gunawan

Blue box 🤩

KM

Madoka Magica to me is a much more interesting reaction whereas Blue Box, whilst a well done standard romance, just isn't interesting in terms of seeing someone's reaction personally imo.

James Moss

Looking forward if she chooses Classroom of Elite after squid games to see her detective skills lol

ivan reyes

Technically, it not Season 3 but a mini arc. I have heard only 6 episodes, but it is listed on MAL has it listed as 8. Will be important to watch before season 3 does come out. First episode was released last week on Thursday evening.

WuXian Suibian

Aww man, no fighting in the comments... And here I was ready with my popcorn. :D No preference as I've not seen any of these but mayhaps I'll use this list as inspo once I'm done with FMAB

Loony BoB

Way to make a tough poll.

Eric The Viewer

They just released a 3rd

Mark uson

Thanks Alana for the well wishes! Watching your reactions has been a highlight for me for the last year! I also hope that this year is your best year yet and may you have many more amazing years to come! 🥰✨

asli hassan

She already has. Both season.

Racc

Would love for it to be Madoka Magica. And it's short, so another show would come pretty quick.

cosmotron

voted for *To Your Eternity*, really hoping it wins. and just to get ahead of the next poll, Windbreaker >>>>>> Classroom of the Elite like, they're not even in the same tier

M Khan

Nesza
