We're coming up on the end of Konosuba Season 3, so it's time for another poll!  As such we'll be getting this poll done in advance, so we all know what's coming next.

Vote for ANY AND ALL shows that you would like to see us react to! We always take note of which shows get plenty of votes, but don't win. Whichever gets the most votes we will release early access reactions on the Friday when the final Konosuba Season 3 reaction goes public.

NOTE: Jacob and I haven't seen any of these shows!

Thank you all so much for your continued generous support!

YOOO Uncle from another world making an appearance on the poll!!! SUCH a great show

Luc Meyers

Ascendance of a bookworm is so good. Y'all would love it

juan cao

I wouldn't have expected Ascendance of a Bookworm to appear in the poll. It would be a good refresher before 4th season comes out. Praise to the gods!

Cryogenx37

Bookworm is sooo good, but Eminence in Shadow is an excellent shitpost of isekai as well

Bercin Boutet

Bookworm is so good! I really hope it gets ahead

Kagurama

Mashle my beloved

XWF Outlaw

Ascension of a Bookworm: 36 episodes (+OVA, Ongoing) The Eminence in Shadow: 32 Episodes (Ongoing) Mashle: Magic & Muscles: 24 Episodes (Ongoing) Uncle From Another World: 13 Episodes

Perazok

Bookworm manga was great

kingofshibainu

Close. All great options! But Eminence gets my vote.

simplegunner

oh this is so close, but you guys will really like bookworm.

Colin

Voting for Mashle over ANY of the other shows is insane

Isaku Saito

Where is Overlord?

CaffieneKitty

Saw the poll, drew a breath, saw the choices, just kept drawing the same breath. I am well oxygenated now.

Ian Driscoll

These are all good, but I'm only voting for Bookworm, very much want to see it win.

Drax

Uncle is by far the funniest anime I've seen right after onizuka

Rob

With season 4 announced I can only see myself voting for Bookworm :-D

Maria 1998

I hope they react to the new season of Demon Slayer soon 🤞🏻

Marta Kira Ayanami

Not voting yet. I've heard of all those, but only seen the first three eps of Uncle. I'll check out the Bookworm, at least - had meant to, long ago - before voting.

Angela

Ascendance of a Bookworm is one of my all-time favs! I recommend the dub for this one! Can't wait! *Fingers crossed*

Morringhan

Oh my god a love Ascendance of a bookworm so mucho even being a low budget production is one of my favorites animes ♥️ Mashle is a good one too... i'll be glad if any of theses win but o think that Eminence can win Thais time because the popularity

Canadian_Caesar

Isekai Oji-san is the only one I haven’t seen, but I’m going for EIS this time.

Iejir Isk

Yea, I think is right up their alley... but darned if this isn't a choice of winners

CaffieneKitty

Oooo, it's a three way fight on this one! I've been looking for excuses to watch Eminence in Shadow and Ascendance of a Bookworm, and I love Mashle and CANNOT WAIT to see the chair dancing to the OPs. XD

Sacha505

bookworm omg yes please!!

RoboArmadillo13

Would like to see Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan on a future poll.

// haseru

bookworm is good. I like "The Eminence in Shadow", but I don't know if it's good for you.

The Great Santini

Guarantee they would laugh the most at the Uncle Ieskai show.

T

Please just a little bit more votes I really want to see y'all react to Eminence in shadow

Alba Zawa

Wow isekai ojisan finally making a poll me happy that shit is hilarious and I’m sure u guys would love it a lot. But I love bookworm and shadow a lot too. Only meh is mashle

Michael Clark

4 great shows on one poll, I'm voting for eminence but they'd all be fun

Parnik

Eminence for the win!

moony

cmon bookworm fans pls vote!!

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

sad that Isekai oji san is the best here but isn't watched enough for people to vote for it

Robin Berglund

Eminence would be nice, but it will win eventually. Ascendence of a Bookworm feels more appropriate now in preparation for season 4.

Robin Berglund

For those who doesn't know: Ascendence of a Bookworm is a great story with a bit of a slow buildup. Sadly the anime is a bit on the low-production side, probably due to the initial parts of the LNs being very child-friendly. That said it is still a great adaption to a story that blooms out with topknotch worldbuilding and deceptive political intrigue. The source material is competing with the likes of Re:Zero and Mushoku Tensei in quality, and the upcoming season 4 is where the series starts to ramp up for real. Hopefully the adaptation ramps up as well.. :3

Robin Berglund

Can also recommend Ascendence of a Bookworm in the audiobook format. I like listening to it in japanese through audible (it exists in the us marketplace as well), but now the english version is being produced now, the second volume just came out (although not accessible yet in audible for some reason, had to go through bookwalker).

Paul

I love Bookworm, but I really want to see them enjoy Eminence. It’s so much fun. Great to replace another fun anime KonoSuba.

Paul

It’s a very “fun” show. Whether you watch it for the humorous parts or the serious story that unfolds “around” the MC. It’s a great replacement of KonoSuba, another fun show.

The Great Santini

Mashle was so incredibly cookie cutter and the animation style is just kinda ugly. Reminded me of later seasons of “7 Deadly Sins.”

Robin Berglund

Yup, the first three season do a similar thing in Ascendence of a Bookworm as the first two season do in Re:Zero. They are both in the introduction stages of their 30+ LN stories, in comparison to Eminence in Shadow for one which will soon publish light novel number 5.

simplegunner

Wow. The numbers for the top 2. That's like, B!tch slap close.

Canadian_Caesar

Damn, Eminence and Bookworm really are neck-and-neck on this one. Really hoping for Eminence myself🙏

Paul

Eminence is quite similar to KonoSuba. They’re both incredibly fun. Whether you enjoy it only for the humorous stuff or you get hooked on the serious story going on “around” the MC. I think it’s a good replacement of the fun ride KonoSuba is.

hokidori

Cmon bookworm!

Robin Berglund

Finding myself looking back on this poll.. If previous is to go by then the voting could end about here or get about a hundred more votes before ending - quite an exciting ride~ Personally I'm for bookworm, but a result in which it and Eminence gets the same percentage of the vote would be fine as well (note sure how semblence handles those cases though) Either one would be quite enjoyable to watch their reaction to. :3

Canadian_Caesar

~6 hours to go and only 1 vote separates first place from second place, talk about a close one! Hope that whichever show comes second gets special consideration moving forward considering how spread apart these polls tend to be.

Paul

Just a few votes to tie or overtake. Let’s go Eminence! They’ll love everything it has to offer.

Ian Driscoll

3 Hours to go, keep it up Bookworm.

Canadian_Caesar

Looks like Bookworm’s won this poll, hope Eminence gets its own slot sooner rather than later.

Isa

Draw would be nice. Both shows at the same time

Tenroku

EMINENCE POG

Paul

Next Friday

Jay

Alts went crazy with this poll lmaooo

Cryogenx37

Eminence won, gonna enjoy rewatching it again. There’s still 3 more polls later for the next month so Bookworm has more chances of appearing and winning

Paul

Bookworm lost votes towards the end. The vote total was 1320 with 5 mins to close and ended on 1313. At one point earlier, Bookworm had 395. Maybe some got removed for suspicion of what you've claimed. I was hoping for a tie. I like Eminence more, but both are great. The post did mention that they would pay attention to any that get plenty of votes. So, I can't wait for Eminence and hopefully Bookworm soon.

Johan Larsson

noooooooooooo! I missed the vote. I love the mashle and bookworm mangas. Hope they show up on another poll soon.

Woodsie89

holy shit, I don't know the last time I saw a comeback this close.

Isaku Saito

Hopefully overlord can come back sometime.
