Content

We're on to Stage 2 of the voting to decide what anime will replace The Boondocks! These are the Top 5 you all voted the most for in the previous poll (https://www.patreon.com/posts/boondocks-you-1-103564840) . Now you have to decide, for real for real, which anime you want the replacement to be!

     --We want this new show to be a new-ish short-ish anime, so that was mostly our criteria for these choices. We did consult our discord and patreon community before this poll was posted, so we hope all is vetted and good!

HAPPY VOTING!!!

PS: This poll is multiple choice & you can change and adjust your votes all the way until midnight of May 21.

Solo Fck the rest!

Maroki R6

I really don’t care what wins, as long as it’s not spy family or Fire force, spy family is just too boring of a reaction. And fire force is fire force

Gezno

I’m picking Solo it’s really good and short so we’ll get something new soon

Manny Jones

Been waiting on a Solo Leveling reaction from you guys since the anime premiered!! This has to win and we need Suraj on the couch too regardless if he read it 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Prosper

PEAK LEVELING

Nigel W.

Frieren, my current anime of the year

Bryan

If Dr.Stone can't win my vote will jump with Solo Leveling!

Isaiah Cox

Rip every option I wanted lost lol 😂

Denickart

I'm not particularly interested in watching reactions to any of these since they've all been done to death but I guess I'll to with Frieren.

Maroki R6

You know what. ARISE LETS GO SOLO LEVELING

Balmung

Anything but solo leveling, that show seems so generic. Also in a poll with frieren, I can't believe solo is even being considered.

TexasSnyper

Frieren and then Solo Leveling! Let's go!

Tim Chaos

Dr. Stone is such a good time, I hope we get it eventually

Maroki R6
>>137994824

Gotta bring in the views someway or another. Solo leveling would be an easy choice. Because of its popularity. Plus it’s VERY ENTERTAINING

Mob K.O.

LETS GO FRIEREN GETS SOME ACTUAL STORY

Valid Ziweni

SOLO SOLO SOLO SOLO SOLO SOLO

Brakthir

Fuck Solo Leveling. Frieren all the way

Whatever
>>137994824

I read all of solo leveling it is generic but it is really good at building up hype and it is really popular right now so it makes sense to win btw the ending is super rushed

@eric.na.goo.yen

Frieren and Solo Leveling are the only ones I’m interested in seeing yall react to, so I’m glad they’re currently leading.

Ivan

I don't understand the Solo Leveling appeal. Didn't live up to the hype placed on it. It was just mid.

@eric.na.goo.yen
>>137993948

Completely agree. Spy Family would make for boring reactions. And Fire Force has cool action, but that’s literally it. Everything about it is so generic.

Balmung
>>137994824

That's sort of my thing, I get the feeling that solo levelling won't even be a blip, not even worth mentioning a year from now, while frieren is one of the best anime of the last season, and probably one of the best in the last and next few years. But hey, that's why we vote, I just know I won't be watching solo levelling at all, and hope people who are recommending it will stick around.

Brakthir

I WILL LITERALLY BUY YOU PIZZA IF YOU VOTE FRIEREN

DO
>>137994824

you haven't watched it and you can't believe it is being considered... Also out of all anime out there, there is only so much writers can do like your comedies or attack on titan type anime's. at the end of the day its about whether the anime is actually good or not. Not just if the idea is basic, so there you go.

Mavros

Lets give them something with Substance! Freiren all the way.

Geno Montez

Spy family has to win eventually!

addnid07

it really should be frieren!!

Queef Burglar

Why are people voting for frieren? Are you guys trying to kill me on purpose?

Queef Burglar

I'll pay 3k$ just for The Normies to not react to Frieren!!!!

AttackRunRepeat
>>137995451

I didn't watch it but from what I've heard it's pretty forgettable. Recency bias will carry a mid anime though.

AttackRunRepeat
>>137995800

I'll vote Frieren just so Solo Leveling doesn't win. Although my heart is set on SxF.

Dale Ellis

I luv these choices 😁

Dale Ellis

The only one I might've changed is Fire Force cuz it doesn't make sense to watch Fire Force before Soul Eater, you won't get why the reveals/references & Easter eggs in they show are relevant otherwise 🤷🏿‍♂️

Adrian Bisutti
>>137997074

it is a very good stand alone show, I never have seen soul eater but i found out after watching season 2 of fire force that they are connected via spoiler

JacobT

Solo Leveling!!

Shafiq

FRIEREN STANS UNITE🫡

Jack SV

I see mid is winning

Kenneth segovia

Frieren has to be subbed ! No hate towards the dub since you can tell they tried and have a good cast but you will enjoy subbed way way more

Nigel W.
>>137994824

Solo levelling is on the generic side buts it’s still good and one of the better ones, definitely better than ninja kamui. That being said Frieren is a masterpiece though, hope it wins.

CheaterCodes

nothing against solo leveling, but Frieren is just too good

Ksweets

COME ON DR STONE I BELIEVE. GET EXCITED

Matt Bailey

Are they dropping the Boondocks or just asking for something to watch after its over? I don't watch it but am just curious.

Justin James
>>137994640

Same bro The most popular and recent show’s always dominate the polls every time smh

Chaos T

Dr. Stone is great. It's like "Ted Lasso" in that it makes the viewer feel positive about humanity.

windextor89 .

If we are looking for the best show to react to it has to be fire force. story, fun characters, feels moments, great fights.

Dean Li

Frieren and Solo Leveling are a must!! 🔥

Chrisando_036

I love that all of these options have excellent dubs, either language they pick- we'll be in for a treat. But I will say that I have rarely seen any other reactors react to the dubs.

Gwyn

Hope you knockout Solo Leveling. It's a tight 12 episodes.

Isaiah Cox

I rather Dr.stone but Frieren will get my vote anything other than solo leveling

Chaos T
>>137994824

Most anime of this nature are generic and probably have to be for their target audience. If the writing is good, the generic themes don't matter. I haven't seen Solo Leveling but have heard it's decent despite the common themes and characters it shares with a lot of anime.

Ivan
>>137999252

Would be great but this poll isn't the one.

Merfhew

Dr. Stone is my preference, but I'm fine with anything other than Solo Leveling. It's not a bad show, but it's not a good show either. It looks nice, but I don't think it's worth reacting to (although I recognize it gets a lot of views). 1) Dr. Stone 2) Frieren 3) Spy x Family 4) Fire Force 5) Solo Leveling

TrapMoneyKenny

Why is this poll multiple choice????

Merfhew
>>138000186

It has a bit too much fan service imo, but it's not a bad show. I enjoyed it, although I'm not sure it's worth a reaction.

Fred Rechid

I’ve tried my hardest to get into Frieren and it was just so boring to me. Had to drop it unfortunately. Dr. Stone is my vote.

Merfhew
>>137994650

I feel like Dr. Stone, until recently, didn't get much attention by popular reactors as the other shows did. There were a few exceptions, of course. Now, at least 3 of the channels I follow are watching it.

Zack Aranda
>>137995451

It's literally just because of the action. It offers nothing else of substance.

Bryan
>>137994556

No for sure I meant my single vote was for Dr.stone but since it's a hopeless cause I gotta throw it to Solo lol

HouseDogget

Frieren is the best show on this list by a few yards. It’s on of the most beautiful anime’s made in a minute and since the crew already watched Lord of the Rings. It’ll hit more. Dr. Stone is a fun show with no stakes you’re gonna feel. Spy Family is good and never gets great. I think there’s a show called Buddy Daddies that does the concept better with two dads. Solo Leveling Up is a fun concept but aren’t we tired of fantasy shows that’s use video game mechanics. Fire Force Sucks.

HouseDogget
>>138000186

I think after bleach they might not be down for another fighting show.

Chrollo
>>138000186

I agree with Fire Force. Everything you said is true. Not sure what people say about too much fan service. If that fails then Frieren it should be. In the end I don't mind either one. They're all good anime. Solid 7s and up.

NickTheFox

I think at this point, it wil be nice if The Normies react to all top three: Frieren, Solo Leveling, and Spy Family since these 3 dominate the polls. (not react at the same time, in order of course)😎

Potatex

Voting on Solo Leveling over frieren is some head ass thing to do lol

Malik Black

Ngl I kinda voted for all of them bc I loved all of these shows so there no bad choices for me

MR1394

Please Spy x Family! It’s so fun, funny, sweet, has some great action, and more! I like Frieren and want you guys to watch it, but Spy x Family has been in limbo since losing its debut reaction to Cyberpunk.

HIM

Chris and Marketa MUST react to Spy x Family. 😣 MUST.

Kristof Wakoli

I humbly ask that, whatever show you folks choose, please let it be in English Dub 🙏🏿

Zangetsu
>>138008813

Especially if it's solo leveling, I think Aleks Le does a great job as Sung Jinwoo

Espurr

My vote will always be Madoka Magica

greenb3ar
>>138008813

No thank you. If it is SL or Dr Stone then the dub is fine, but Frieren and SxF are much better in Japanese in large part because of the same VA.

BT

Voted for Frieren. Solo has a lot of slow episodes. The fighting episode is great.

howwlll

I like all of these shows (minus Dr. Stone, haven't gotten around to watching it) but I LOVE Frieren. Hopefully they watch all of them eventually

howwlll
>>137995451

The Ignis fight was hype, but overall I didn't think the story or characters are better than anything else on this list

Juan Angarita

If Frieren wins, PLEASE watch the Sub, The dub is pretty mid

Shockzz1234

Frieren is by far the best show here. Great characters, great plot, good action, animated beautifully. Some people might say it's too slow for a reaction series, but i disagree. Dr. Stone is ok but i could never get into it the same way others did (and i've read the whole manga, it falls off imo). Still would be a good pick though. Spy Family is nice, but having watched Blind Wave's reactions to it i don't think it's a good "reaction" series. Fire Force i've also read the manga of, has some very nice animated fights and the story later on becomes verrrry interesting, but the fanservice is a bit much. Also season one has weird directing choices that were divisive. And Solo Levelling sucks. It just does. Horrible characters, horrible "plot", horrible world....everything about it is bottom tier. People will say it at least has good fights but not really imo, they're animated very well but they're boring as fuck. It's just another generic power fantasy self insert series.

Chris Skalicky

Will these be dub or sub? Or will it depend on the anime? That could influence my vote.

Chris Skalicky
>>138002525

I found the first 3-4 episodes to be a little slow (but I think that was because apparently they were originally released all as one or something like that)... anyway after that I really got into and I loved it! The animation and music it is incredible. And the story/characters really pick up ..I highly recommend giving it another chance.

Savin

Frieren has this in this in the bag

Rand

DR STONE!!!!!!!!

Camille Watrigant

Frieren is overrrated in my opinion, I couldn't even finish it, it was too slow for me, and it didn't stand up, again, in my opinion, to other Isekai. For real, Dr Stone or Spy x Family should win, it's original, it's funny, great characters, educational (for Dr Stone). I think we should choose an anime that can provok great reactions, and Frieren isn't it (AGAIN, my opinion). Solo Leveling is cool visually but the story isn't that great. Fire Force is great too but I would prefer Dr Stone or Spy x Family to win. But Frieren for some reason is just too popular and it pretty much is a win for it, so I just hope that they will consider watching Dr Stone or Spy x Family one day...

Liesmith

Barth Garenghi's Markplace!

Camille Watrigant
>>138002525

I watched until episode 10, then I stopped. Too slow for me, and it didn't stand out from others Isekai. I felt like I watched this kind of anime like, 20 times before. That's why I don't understand the hype about it. But anyway. It's gonna win no matter what... It's really too bad for Dr Stone because I truly believe it's the best anime in this poll, it's funny, educational, the plot is super cool, it always surprises you. I just know that their reactions to Dr Stone would be hilarious and entertaining. That's why it sucks... Hope they will get to react to it one day.

Stefan B
>>138021882

Well, the thing is it’s not an isekai so obviously it wouldn’t.

Molly McDougal
>>138021882

I dunno I feel like you should've tried to finish it because then maybe you'd know that Frieren isn't an isekai at least.

Melissa DeLaFey

Solo leveling was fun and short but Frieren is better quality overall in my opinion. Frieren FTW now!

AB

Please add Blue-Eyed Samurai!!

dugnutt
>>138016023

you're disguising your discomfort for cringey dialogue by blaming it on the voice actors, get over yourself

Overload
>>138025513

Not an anime by western definition of the term (American creation animated in France) so would not be on this list.

Justin James

rip fire force lol 🥲

Saania Jamal

The only correct answer is Frieren.

Camille Watrigant
>>138021882

You know what I meant, an anime in a fantasy world with Elf or dwarves who travels and encounter monsters etc, it's been done and done again and again. But at least some are entertaining, again IN MY OPINION, Frieren is too slow and after 10 episodes I just didn't care for any character or stories

Mavros
>>138021882

Pretty sure no one looking to change your mind. That was a lost cause from your first post. 🤣

Camille Watrigant
>>138021882

The lost cause is people like you who feels the irrepressible urge to shade anyone who does not share the same opinion as you, like, grow up.🙄

Datdudetank

Please Solo Leveling

Chaos T
>>138008813

Sub reactions are very hit or miss... mostly miss. Subs are not a good format for group reactions. It requires multiple people to do an extra thing when it's not needed at all. I would rather see reactors experiencing a mediocre dub than miss crucial information. I love The Normies but they already miss a lot. No need to add more work for them. Besides, the dub for Frieren is pretty decent.

Matt Cheol

Frieren is the best of these, but only if subbed.

Camille Watrigant
>>138021882

Frieren fans being petty and insisting on my use of the word Isekai when in reality it's just them not being mature enough to respect other's opinion.

Gage Eakins
>>138021882

They're not really insulting you. You could have said that you meant fantasy anime I guess. But it seems that you just didn't know isekai was a very specific genre.

Gage Eakins
>>138008813

I do not understand the hate for the dub that some people seem to have. I thought the voice acting on the dub was very good.

Camille Watrigant
>>138021882

I actually did responded to one of them and said what I meant was an anime in a fantasy word, and I do know what an Isekai is. But I won't apologize for a wrong use of word when the TRUE reason they are pointing that out is that my opinion on Frieren is not to their liking. If I saw a post saying Dr Stone is a romantic comedy, I won't even begin a conversation, I would just ignore and move on to other things, like, is it that UNBEARABLE to see someone calling Frieren an Isekai? that's high level anger issues.

Vicar Sol

Thank god that a 2nd poll exists just because SL hype is dying down and we'd be getting Frieren,

DIO
>>138034590

2nd poll ? what do you mean? this is the final poll which will be replacing boondocks

Austin McDonald

Wack ass membership. Greedy ass mfs.

Overload
>>138034590

They’re saying they are glad that the result wasn’t dependent on the first poll as Solo Leveling won that poll by 70 votes.

BT
>>138021882

I'm on that SpyXFamily boat too

HIM

On a COMPLETELY other note... Can we get a Pootie Tang reaction? For the culture 😉

HIM
>>138025513

Bullshit. Arcane is an anime, Castlevania is an anime, Blue Eye Samurai is definitely an anime. I used to be liberal about it, too. But then I grew up and became an adult.

Zerras Lo

Yay Frieren! :D I haven't been this excited since FMA when you guys first started it ^_^

William Potter

Solo leveling is shorter they can watch Frieren after that, Frieren is just slow 😩 Solo Leveling would be a better reaction!!!

Brakthir
>>138064475

Why is everyone obsessed with short shows over quality shows? Solo Leveling aint anything new, its literally just another average battle shonen with an overpowered male fantasy protagonist. Frieren bodies it in every single way.

William Potter
>>138064475

I disagree, the story is a lot more interesting than you give credit to, the animation is great and after having them watch so many anime that requires notes it would be fitting for a show like Solo Leveling to replace The Boondocks since you can just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is. Frieren is good, but Solo leveling is short it’ll take them less than 3 months to finish it where Frieren will take over half a year. If SL is first we can get 2 shows out of this by the end of the year versus 1 show

HouseDogget

Solo about to be the next Kaiju number 8

HouseDogget
>>138021882

Honestly it's just vibes. But it does do something different from almost every other genre. It starts at the end of a journey and we get to follow an ancient character and the neat differences of the decades from her perspective. I wouldmt say it's slow, just that it loves it's atmosphere. But the difference between this and other shows is even in the quiet moments the animation is going off. Also the exam arc in the last 10 episodes is great.

HouseDogget

I dunno I usually listen to Spanish if I can (the always superior dub.) But the English for this was pretty good.

brickthrower9000
>>138064475

Oh yea, a show where you can "turn your brain off" is definitely most conducive to reaction content. Like, be for real, if you're meant to turn your brain off what would there be to discuss?

Manny Jones
>>137994824

Man hasn't watched a second of Solo Leveling and has all these opinions on it lmaoooo shit don't make sense. Solo will most definitely be talked about a year from now and more ESPECIALLY when S2 comes out. Ppl who don't know just will have to find out just how good that show is gonna be. And the animation is gonna be superb.

Balmung
>>138027857

It's not that short, for one, and not especially remarkable. Maybe when they connect it to soul eater and remake the ending to that it'll get the praise it deserves

Balmung
>>137994824

I had to edit the fight against the bloodred guy(for a thing) and one third of the fight is him describing things that just happened. And in the end he won because...the author decided he should? I'll admit I didn't watch it but I'll call it hype when you guys can admit it's just sword art online but edgy

brickthrower9000
>>138064475

Boondocks, at least for the first three seasons is heavily satirical and references many real life events. It's not exactly turn your brain off material, even if the references are pretty obvious. And, the discussions reflect this

Brakthir
>>138064475

Bro, the story is literally the most fucking generic male power fantasy leveling up I have ever read. I finished the manwha. The ONLY good thing about it was the art and some fights. It had ZERO character development, ZERO plot development. It was the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. Lets not act like Solo Leveling is deep or anything lol. Demon Slayer has more development than Solo Leveling. DBZ has more development than Solo Leveling. The food that I ate this morning has more development inside of me than Solo Leveling.

Justin Jefferson

I dont really care which one wins but i am curious which will pull the most numbers lol.

junior clarke
>>138064475

What does having a male protagonist have to do with anything, both are good shows, just frieren is slower paced and doesn't give the same level of hype. But solo leveling doesn't do buildup as well ad frieren.

The Cook

genuinely want all of these

Chris Skalicky
>>138021882

You're the only here being a little harsh and incredibly defensive. To each their own I guess.

NickTheFox
>>138064475

why keep using length to determine which one to choose? solo is short, put it in anytime still suits. 28 vs 12 is not big of a difference, it's not like comparing to the big three lengths.

NickTheFox
>>138064475

why do we have to rush and get more shows out by the end of this year? You said solo first then Frieren we could do two by the end of this year, but Frieren first solo after can't, do not understand your logic here, swapping the order doesn't change the total length

William Potter
>>138064475

What are you talking about? That’s over twice as long as SL. The difference is that if the start SL, we’d still get Fre this year, but if they start Fre first we won’t get SL until Next year, which is why length is important

Nick *

Solo leveling is one of the most generic power fantasy animes out there. Falls off hard after the start and just becomes more repetitive and boring as it goes on. Frieren losing the vote to it would be the biggest L.

Overload
>>138064475

Just to clarify if they do 1 episode a week it’s 7 months of Frieren, if they do the first 4 in 1 sitting (don’t think they would) then that’s 6 months. Solo Leveling would be 3 months. Given that the show will start in June if it’s Solo Leveling that wins a new series will be started by September, if Frieren then it’s December/January (depending on if they do the first 4 in 1). I’m happy with either but that’s how the slot will go depending on which wins

Overload
>>138025513

Again that’s based on the Western definition of the term anime e.g. animation created in Japan. From a Japanese perspective however they would all fall under the term anime, so it comes down to your perspective on it. Would you call Thundercats, Ducktales, Ghostbusters, or Transformers anime if so then cool as stated within Japan the answer is yes however many in the west wouldn’t yet they were all animated in Japan. I mean I used to say anything animated in Japan was anime but then I researched like an adult and realised people can think what they want

NickTheFox
>>138064475

William: so? why does it have to be in the same year? using length as an excuse to choose a show is just not wise. Twice as long, but it's still short comparing to other long ones, solo after Frieren can potentially bring them to solo S2, which they can continuous react to, and that benefits more Overlord: yes, it's just the order at this point, I think they are going to react to both and maybe Spy Family as well, since these 3 dominates (in my opinion)

Motaz Younis
>>138064475

Frieren first means we have to wait for them to finish it or another show to get to Solo leveling, but since Solo is shorter they'd be able to finish it and have time to start Frieren sooner than the other way around

William Potter
>>138064475

That’s a moot point, I didn’t think I would have to explain why 2 is more than 1

NickTheFox
>>138064475

yes, but that's still a poor statement, Frieren fans want it first and solo fans have to wait, Solo fans want it first and Frieren fans have to wait, just a different wait length, but using waiting time to say Frieren fans waits less so go vote for solo first and you will get Frieren later is not how things work, both sides want it first, that's the main point, and this is when voting comes in, voting is for people to decide which one comes first. If using length as a first deciding factor, why even bother having a poll in the first place? If people say solo is better so I want it first I get it, but saying solo is shorter so I want it first? I don't get it

NickTheFox
>>138064475

William: there is no 2, it's still 1 if you say what you said, even solo came first, Frieren isn't finished and doesn't count as 1 why still using length as first deciding factor? choose what you love even solo goes second, which means next year there would be one more show, this year 2 more or next year 1 extra, what's the difference?

William Potter
>>138064475

It counts as 2 because they would have both been started and we’d gotten at least 8-10 episodes of Fre before the New Year

William Potter

2 is always more than 1, why settle for 1 great show, when we can have 2 great shows before the New Year.

NickTheFox
>>138064475

its not like 1000s vs 12, then your solo go first have more of a persuation since it will be years apart, but 28 vs 12 is not that of a big difference, top few months apart, every show we vote is like that

NickTheFox
>>138121969

this doesn't make sense at all, why does it have to be before New Year? If they eventually watch both, Frieren first solo second, yes this year 1 short but next year 1 extra, what's the difference with your 1 extra this year and 1 less next year? using length as a first deciding factor is really not wise, choose what you love

NickTheFox
>>138064475

William: like I said choose what you love and not the length, if you love both and using length as who goes first, then that's your choice. The thing is, we are just assuming they will react to both, and this poll is just for one, people will vote what they love and not having 2 in mind and which one goes first, people always want the one they love goes first, and we never know if they will do both or even 3, so choosing what you love most is the way to go. (high possibility for both, but that's just us assuming, they can do a new poll in the future and things might change completely, we never know)

TexasSnyper

If the votes end as close as they are now, I think doing both of the top 2 would be best.

NickTheFox
>>138123908

yep, high possiblity, but we never know for sure. Adding Spy Family after will be nice though😎

Alondra Ochoa

Mi voto es Dr. Stone pero veo que no va a ganar, mi segunda opción seria Frieren pero solo si si le ponen la atención que requiere que no vayan esperando pura acción porque no trata de eso a pesar de que cuando hay es bastante buena, no todo en la vida es acción, necesitan variarle un poco a su contenido, la mayoría del anime que ven es shonen, nada en contra del shonen es mi género favorito pero hay tanto anime muy bueno fuera de ese genero y a veces uno trae humor para otra cosa

TrapMoneyKenny
>>138064475

@NickTheFox What do you mean 28 vs 12 isn't that big a difference? That's literally more than DOUBLE Solo's episodes. Did you fail 5th grade math or something? Quit simping for an over hyped snooze fest of a show

TrapMoneyKenny
>>138021882

@Camille Watrigant Keep fighting the good fight and don't let these posers sway your opinion. Freiren is overrated.

Yeah I'd bet you'd like that. Then they'd be reacting to two mediocre anime instead of just one.

People who use "overrated" as a legitimate critique generally don't have a grasp of what "overrated" means; as if it meant anything to begin with. One making that argument against something are people that can't explain why they don't like something that's out of their comfort zone. Something not being for you doesn't mean it's overrated. Frieren is rated exactly where it should be just like Dr. Stone is fairly rated as one of the best modern anime.

" Would you call Thundercats, Ducktales, Ghostbusters, or Transformers anime?" Maybe and worth a discussion. As you pointed out many of cartoons of this era of US TV were animated in Japan. In the 80's, Thundercats art style and animation was almost indistinguishable from Japanese anime like Voltron. I don't see why cartoons published by a US company but its art style and animation get created in Japan can't be considered an anime. Overload, I don't disagree with much with what you said but the western definition needs to go or change. The "Western definition" of anime was created by gatekeeping comicbook store owner types and internet losers to begin with. Western weebs need to get over themselves on a lot of anime stuff. It's true Blue-Eyed Samurai isn't an anime in the "traditional western" sense but it isn't a traditional western cartoon either. If Blue-Eyed Samurai was on a Western Cartoon poll it wouldn't probably stand a chance against DC, Marvel, Ben 10, Star Wars type cartoon stuff. Blue-Eyed Samurai is not an animated series that's geared towards the general audience who likes traditional western cartoons. It's difficult to classify what genre of animation Blue-Eyed Samurai is.

after frieren just watch solo leveling since it got so much of votes an easy next show without having to vote

>>138018283

Dude If you have to lie and downplay the other shows this much just to make Frerein look better than maybe your show isnt as good you think it is....

Shockzz1234
>>138018283

No lies were said, just my genuine feelings to each one. I’m sorry you can’t handle other opinions, fellow JoJo fan 👍🏻

Andrii Kravtsov

Can we get SL and Frieren if the difference in voting will be 1-2%? <3

Overload
>>138025513

Which is my point, those shows in the west would be classified as cartoons however by the current definition of what anime is those shows could easily be classified as anime, conversely by that same definition however Blue Eyed Samurai would not be classified as such as it’s creation, production and most importantly animation are not created within Japan. I disagree, it’s pretty easy for me to classify it as adult animation much like how a series like Rick and Morty would not be viewed as anime to western audiences. Whether people think the term needs to change or go doesn’t change how people particularly people like the Normies currently view the term which is likely why they have made their future slot criteria be clearly defined based on their interpretations (the previous poll was “classic” anime but nobody in their right mind would consider a series like Black Clover which is 8 years old as “classic”).

Nande Sodela

😭 these shows are cheeks

Vivian Woods
>>138105961

Same but also I want spy x family because they do a LOT of drama and action and this would break that up a lot and be a good breezy watch. They could watch the first 2/3 episodes in one sitting with it. But oh well.

Nick *
>>138105961

Agreed! I voted for both frieren and spy x family. Both would be great picks.

Remzey Sharif

At some points you guys should really do Vox Machina - A little on the graphic side but very fun DnD animated for adults

Virgas
>>138105961

I mean SL clearly did something right for it's webtoon to garner 14 billion views.

Brakthir
>>137998551

How can something subjective aka opinions on anime be objectively wrong? Did you graduate basic english? Also, if we're talking "objectively", Frieren has been critically acclaimed since it came out, has been winning awards and is #1 on MAL for 6 months now.

BradBoimler

They said the reaction to Under the red hood reaction is out but I cant find it

christopher aquino
>>138241357

no they said when they finish this season of young justice the next week will be under the red hood then the premier of the next season

Alex Monascal

Jesus, how can Frieren fans still be the saltiest when their show is winning? There’s so many of them shit talking SL and the other shows like goddamn😭

Brakthir
>>138279768

Because people are acting like Solo Leveling is something special lol

Brakthir
>>138105961

yeah and michael bay movies make billions. No one thinks the transformers movies are good lol. they're just popular

Fatherlord

I'm just happy solo leveling or fire force isn't winning

Mavros
>>138279768

What you're noticing isn't salt. It's objectively correct takes. ;)

Tekno

It would be better for us if we vote for a show that has more than 1 season. Dr. Stone has 5 compare to solo leveling that has 1

Nigel W.

Frieren 🔥

Ganesh Dhore

I think the normies should react to all the 3 shows Frieren, SL and Spy Family but in order of the rankings, then only it seems fair and makes sense.

howwlll
>>138279768

It's not a huge lead. Might as well keep talking up the better show

howwlll
>>138105961

Re: Virgas - Hype and actual quality are not the same thing. SL was super hyped up before ep 1 and then its best episode was ep 11. Most of what was in between was just average

howwlll
>>138314240

In a way, this isn't fair. They even state: "We want this new show to be a new-ish short-ish anime" Arguable, Dr. Stone shouldn't even be a part of this poll

howwlll
>>138064475

Haven't read a lot of these comments, mostly responding to this comment on SL vs. Frieren: "you can just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is." This does not make for a good reaction. If you want to turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is, watch it on your own. If you want a good reaction and a better show, then just watch the better show (Frieren)

howwlll
>>138204213

Agreed. Partially because I keep forgetting they haven't reacted to it already lol. It just seems like something they should have done already :P

howwlll
>>138021882

Is it "unbearable" to call Frieren an isekai? No, just objectively and subjectively a false statement. I think Frieren can be a slow burn, but story and character wise is the best of the options. It's just long enough that you can really understand each main character. There's a lot of emotional maturity in following along with Frieren (the character) and her growth that is lacking in a show like SL (which is basically the opposite, the MC loses relatability as the show goes on). PS: I didn't do a direct comparison to SpyxFamily because at this point they are not direct competitors (it's Frieren vs. SL) - I personally would love a SxF reaction and I think the crew would absolutely love it (i would even wager they would like it more than any other option, including my pick of Frieren, if only because Anya is the cutest thing to ever exist and because the humor makes it extra endearing)

howwlll
>>138121969

This is the second time I've seen someone bring up the New Year as if that somehow matters. Are you expecting the world to end?

howwlll
>>138064475

Stack the shows as Frieren and then SL or SL and then Frieren, overall it's the same amount of time. One being longer doesn't mean a thing, you're acting like another good show could fit in between them when the whole point of the poll is that this is not an option. At the least, putting SL off until later gives it time to be an actual good show instead of just having good fights.

howwlll
>>138022097

Darkplace, Snuff Box, Dirk Gently would all be a lot of fun. I doubt we will get any of them ;_;

howwlll
>>138330210

It makes sense, but I also don't think they want to plan that far out - just in case something comes up that they absolutely MUST react to

Chaos T

Frieren is currently leading the vote with 898 votes. In second place is Solo Leveling with 871 votes. Only three days left until the polling closes. Vote early, vote often.

Diego

Didn't solo leveling already win the first poll? Why even make another one? You don't do that with other shows that win the first and only poll

V. R.
>>138349719

They said the top 5 from that would be getting voted on, just like this.

Jesse Vincente
>>138349719

Because they said since the beginning that there would be a 2nd poll for the winners of the 1st one.

Ginzo

Choice between Shonen 1, Shonen 2, Shonen 3, etc... You would think we have enough shonen with Samurai Champloo, Fullmetal Alchemist(Again), Bleach, Demon Slayer, AND My Hero Academia. Here's my write-in vote for Madoka Magica, Steins;Gate, Psycho Pass, and Made in Abyss. BTW, shonen is no doubt my favorite genre of anime. I've seen every anime on that poll except Frieren which I plan to watch soon. But overall shonen is like different flavor Marvel movies. It's hard not to like them and they're easy to digest which is why they're extremely popular. But like the Marvel movies, most of them are pretty forgettable.

Gage Eakins
>>138030846

Can you articulate in what way? I have seen people just make blanket statements with nothing actually pointing out why it is so much better. Also, is it so much better that it is worth it to have a worse reaction? Because them having to read, watch the show and make commentary is just not realistic.

Brakthir
>>138352087

Frieren really isn't your typical battle shonen though. Very different. I'd most likely equate it to a seinen

NateDogg
>>138352087

Solo Leveling isn't even a Shonen and it's second place

Espurr
>>138352087

I AGREE, they want diversity shows the fans do too, but these shonnen anime need to be paced differently. Because now the normies cant experience other shows its gonna exhaust them. I would of loved a Madoka Magica reaction, its a reaction type of show because it leaves room for discussion every episode. And the show always changes in tone and has debatable subject matter.

Espurr
>>138352087

I think the fans and the normies know that frieren will be reacted too. We're tackling a different issue. We're trying to get the normies to give ways for other less popular anime. There are many hidden gems out there

Arsh Bajwa

Solo leveling is the best anime for reaction

Arsh Bajwa

Vote for solo levelling

Adrian Brown

I’m on episode 5 of frieren and so far it is boring why on earth do you guys want them to react to that show. I’m going to give this show 5 more episodes if it doesn’t get interesting then I’m dropping this show completely.

brickthrower9000
>>138427176

If it's not for you, it's not for you. Many other people disagree with your opinion, given the votes

Arsh Bajwa

Just 10 behind give vote to solo leveling

Brakthir
>>138427176

Bro if all you enjoy is brain broken shonen fights, then yeah, Frieren isn't for you.

Brakthir

Choose: Frieren, the critically acclaimed anime that is currently #1 on MAL and has been for 6 months, just won best manga in shonen jump award and is hugely beloved or Solo Leveling, just another mediocre battle shonen that has occasional good animation, a main character with the personality of a cardboard box and a non existent supporting cast. I know this community is mainly composed of battle shobros but come on. The choice is clear.

David Weber
>>138443506

Frieren Fans: Insecure existences desperate to downtalk anything they don't like OR Solo Leveling Fans: Just normal people who want to see them react to a decent Isekai and don't constantly downtalk the other choices. I mean you have to be a special kind of insecure to choose this to be your battle. Maybe go outside some more, its summertime and you are embarrassing yourself on the internet. Edit: and the award Frieren won also awarded Seven deadly Sins, so maybe we take that one with a bucket of salt, eh?

aerar
>>138443506

damn bro, someone got baited LMAO. also, way to project.

aerar
>>138443506

also Solo Leveling isn't an isekai hahahahaha get your genres right

Overload
>>138204213

I would assume it would be on a poll to replace either Harley Quinn or Young Justice

David Weber
>>138443506

Ok, "bro", in my opinion it is, but feel free to define your genres as you wish. Just look at the comments for both votes and tell me I'm wrong. You can't. Its MHA fans reloaded with you guys, just shameful.

dugnutt
>>138427176

im sorry you have shonen brain rot and cant comprehend more emotional storytelling

Mike Burr
>>138443506

Never seen anything here other than Dr. Stone which is pretty good, not my favorite by any means. But I just threw one to whatever the hell Solo Leveling is cause this guy seems like a dick.

AJT90

fire force deserves more love

Jackie Gibson
>>138443506

Same, honestly neither solo or frieren interest me, but I still voted solo purely because of what I've seen from the comments. The vocal frieren fans seem to just be mean.

Brakthir
>>138443506

I don't think you realize how aggressive the solo leveling fans were in the last poll as well as in this poll.

Devin Eleven

yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss!!!

Espurr
>>138505630

the only reason i voted for solo leveling, not cuz its good, its mid asf and many other reactors said so too. But i needed an anime that finishes quick so we can get another poll

NickTheFox
>>138505630

this reason again? why not just vote what you love instead of the length? do not understand this logic at all🤔😓

Brakthir
>>138505630

This logic is so silly. Just vote for what you'd like to watch! Stop voting for the shortest animes

Gwyn

I'm hoping for Solo Leveling cause I think Frieren will be great to dig into after it. Also. Jin Woo v Igris?! Best fight of the entire year. Hands down.

greenb3ar
>>138505630

If Frieren wins I hope you guys can watch the first 4 episodes together. That is how they aired in Japan along with having a special ED (also watch the sub and I say this as someone who is typically a massive dub fan)

Overload
>>138505630

@Brakthir you are a massive hypocrite, a few weeks ago you were campaigning for shorter episode animes as you didn’t want another long series, now that the series you want is winning which has the longest single season of the 5 you say voting for a shorter series is silly logic.

greenb3ar
>>138505630

One cour vs 2 cour shows is a wildly different discussion than stuff that will literally take years to watch

Overload
>>138505630

Principle is the same, if the argument is having shorter series over longer ones to ensure they don’t miss out on seeing more shows as it was argued a few weeks back then calling it silly logic to vote for the shorter series is hypocrisy. If the argument is you believe Frieren, the longer series, is the better series then fine that is opinion based and relative to the individual but that was not the argument they were making previously.

Espurr
>>138505630

i did, it didnt win that poll. All is left is some mid shonen animes now. Im not watching none of this

Gabriel Moreira

I really think Frieren is one of the best animes in like a decade or more to come out so we cant, WE CANT let the oportunity slip away, the normies will love it.

greenb3ar
>>138505630

lmao this isn't One Piece vs Bleach, this is like 3 extra weekends of stuff to watch for them. Just being wildly pedantic if you don't think there is a rather obvious difference there.

Overload
>>138505630

You’re entitled to think that, I think they’re a hypocrite for calling it silly logic

Brakthir
>>138505630

Just ignore him, green. I'm pretty sure i know who Overload is and they're just an extremely pedantic "WELL ACSHUALLY" neckbeard who has an insatiable urge to post on people's patreon comments and tell them exactly how wrong they are. The worst kind of neurospicy.

Brakthir
>>138505630

@espurr have you actually watched Frieren? Definitely not mid and its not a battle shonen

Overload
>>138505630

As opposed to what you’ve been doing all over this page...again hypocrisy…also neckbeard definitely the wrong gender but you go on with your assumptions and attempts at humiliation

Kurobana

solo leveling was pretty boring >_> hopefully it doesnt win

Rand

When will Dr Stone win these polls :((

Ivan
>>138551359

When it's not up against other more popular anime I suppose.

Tim Ott
>>138551359

Unfortunately probably very unlikely. It's a fun show and I love it, but it's unlikely to win popularity contests over things like Solo Leveling and Frieren

Overload
>>138505630

Think you should look up the term before using it, it is almost always used to describe males what with the male gender being able to grow said neckbeards. You clearly thought I was a man so used the term as well as implied I was neurodivergent. You can just admit you made a mistake rather than continuing to dig yourself a hole

Gabriel Moreira
>>138443506

I mean... its not bad to call a show out for what it is. Not being salt, I like Solo, but it IS a mediocre show and thats ok. Its just another generic battle shounen with main character that has nothing really going for him, mediocre plot / writing... but it HAS GOOD FIGHTS and a really beautiful animation and sometimes thats what you want in a show. You can just turn off your brain and enjoy some good fights and thats that. But as a whole, it is a mediocre show compared with Frieren

Grimm

If Frieren doesn't win I give up on this community.

Overload
>>138505630

Ah that’s how you try to dig yourself out of a hole, very witty

Justin Jefferson

i did not know the Frieren community was this toxic till i read these comments damn i thought u all were happy head in the clouds types lol.

Brakthir
>>138626935

I think its the pent up frustration from all the past polls where battle shonen kept beating other, more unique genres and shows.

Joshua Tovar

Why r they getting rid of boondocks?

Gwyn

C'mon Solo Leveling! 12 episodes vs 28. I don't want to wait 29 weeks for a new series if Frieren takes the slot.

Chaos T
>>138505630

If one of the reasons you're voting for a series is based on series length, it's logical in certain circumstances and it's not hypocritical to use the argument one time vs. another. It's a case-by-case evaluation. If the selection of anime is a lot shorter than an anime that can take years to complete, taking that into consideration makes sense; like it made sense in the FMAB poll due to it being considerably shorter than the other anime in the final poll. Both Frieren and Solo Leveling are short series. Series length wouldn't be a factor in my vote. Also... there are a lot of female neckbeards. It used to be a physical description but now the term has evolved into a personality trait/attitude.

Savin

Frieren for the win baby!

Luhbabytay

YEA THE HYPE FOR FIRE FORCE IS GONE THAT SHIT IS NOT WINNING

Derrick Maldonado

Lol voted for Frieren. Just finished Solo Leveling and maybe should've waited till after to cast my vote lol.

Jackie Gibson
>>138643046

The hype will start again once the trailer for season 3 drops, it was announced way back in 2022 but David productions has had their hands full with other adaptations, namely undead unluck and Jojo. I predict an update in 2025, but either way it doesn't matter in this poll and the following for a while.

Brakthir

VICTORY

William Potter

Can’t believe SL lost by 17🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Patrick Boyda

Random, but it'd be dope if y'all reacted to a movie called Small Soldiers, it's a nostalgic bop for a lot of 90s kids lol

TexasSnyper

While I am a Frieren stan I do actually hope they do Solo Leveling and also SxF after.

Manny D.

It would be hilarious if they ended up hating Frieren tho 😂

Balmung

LET'S GOOOO!! That said, any of these are good options to watch, but Frieren is one of those special ones, like FMAB.

Trey Milliner-Williams

its always kinda idk funny when anime fans (in this case frieren fans) say x series is nothing new. like neither is your show. all these shows after a certain point recycle plots and character arc one way or another. its just kinda weird to take this high horse stance like your show is so much different and new. but the anime community gotta be toxic one way or another

Gwyn
>>138665975

Welp, I guess we'll get Solo Leveling in 6-7 months. At least Cour 2 will be airing by the time a slot opens up for it.

Tim Chaos

Dr. Stone 😩

Spilled Wine

Now I'm interested in a poll to see how many people voted for Solo Leveling to actually see their reaction to it or because it's short(12 eps) and they wanna meta the show selection process.
