Vinland Saga just started itd be better to do a show that has already finished at least

Dvrth

Dear god Assassination Classroom was a wild ride

Mithroll

Vinland Saga is looking to be the next great anime. I hope it wins!

Raykel

No vinland saga is the way to go. Its a serious show among all this comedy and light hearted stuff

LaconicKibitz

I'd only vote for Food Wars if they don't do the latest season or the upcoming one. :/

Saleem Ali

Vinland Saga manga is usually put with manga like Berserk, Vagabond and Kingdom. And the anime is a really good adaption. I hope it wins

Cleo Leef

Rooting for Vinland Saga or Demon Slayer

Lupus Rose

Ass class and vinland saga in the same poll???? I've never been so torn in my life wtf and it goes without all the other shows in the poll are top tier too.

SmilePlease

I'm fine with everything except Assassination Classroom... call me whatever you want but I could never get into that show even after forcing myself to watch over 10 episodes of it. I just wasn't able to get attached to any single character and Koro annoyed me more times than I found him funny/wholesome.

Alex Dediu

Vinland is bound to be one of the greatest anime ever made

I'm Platinum Mad

Assassination Classroom, i cant wait to experience it all over again, the last of my blurays are coming in and that is part of the many blurays i got

Casioka

I thought they’ve already seen AssClass??

Lupus Rose

No bad blood. If anything I'll say your "perspective" confuses me. But remember this is about what the SoS bros are watching and I'm willing to bet an arm and a leg they'll LOVE IT. I guarantee.

Niko

Still no Run with the wind. :( Any way to recommend it to them in a way they will see it? Just seeing it on a poll would make me happy

Buzzlitebeer

DEMON SLAYER let's go boys!

Niko

Also having read the manga after watching the first couple episodes of vinland saga: While there are things that annoyed me in the beginning of the show im confident it will get better and better, just like the source material

Kami

Because we already know a show is great if it's finished Vinland could end up being garbage

Yukkinon

I actually can't believe Assassination Classroom is on this list!

Blacklightning

Bruh idk if I'm emotionally ready to watch the last arc of that series again.

Colin

Said it before but I don't think it's quite fair putting 3+ year old shows in with currently airing shows. It's almost impossible for older shows to win against the current season hype train.

jase

been waiting forever for assasination classroom to be on another poll honestly can't wait if it wins

Raykel

What do you mean? Demon slayer is a currently airing show and its gets completly overrun by assasination classroom.

Lupus Rose

That wont a make a difference starting next Sunday the anime goes weekly and the SoS bros do one episode a week. So no schedule issues

Mokou

Vinland Saga, come guys!

Av

>20 votes >completely overrun ????????

Colin

True but Demon Slayer was a leftover from last season therefore some of the hype has died down. That's why I said "almost impossible". AssClass has a chance because it's a very special show with long-lasting appeal, but it's still losing out to Vinland Saga by a little bit. There are plenty of amazing shows without the staying power of AssClass (but not any less good) that have gone up against current-season shows in these polls in the past and lost horribly. Anyway I know there's no perfect way to choose a new show, that's just how it is.

Raykel

You make it sound like Ass is a classic but it's not. Its pretty recent as well. And the hype for Demon Slayer will just commence considering the arc its in.

Tyler Ward

rip shield hero

JT

Never seen Assassin Classroom but find the main character kind of annoying from what I have seen.

Travis Saar

Pretty weak poll IMO. Vinland Saga is probably the best option but at that point your betting that it doesn't go downhill later, although I've heard the manga only gets better and I have faith in Wit Studios.

Barre Bonds

Doesn't have to make sense its my opinion 😂 Assasination Classroom has been on the list forever

Woodsie89

Assassination classroom! its so close

danime

Torn between Kimetsu and Vinland, but my vote has to go to Vinland Saga. Come on, do it for the vikings!

Jonathan Kennedy

Miss Kobayashi, because poor Kyoto Animation needs your help

KasaiKouhai

The manga is really good and it’s even longer than attack on titan as a monthly manga, I’ll be voting for demon slayer and assassination classroom however

Matthew Hair

Assclass is pretty neat

CastSenpai

DEMON SLAYER! It’s wonderful. Assclass is 2nd

Jagotron

If vinland saga loses i will eat a razor

Andres Lozano

Vinland!!! Come oooon!

Galorian

Overlord would've been better for reactions than any of these. Really frustrating to have seen it come so close again and again only to lose by maddeningly narrow margins (actually beat Kill la Kill and took 1st place in the first round back in the day, only to lose by 12 votes in the one-on-one), and now it seems to have simply been forgotten. :'(

RandomThorn

I'm honestly confused, I know it's my opinion and a harsh one at that, but the Assassination Classroom is not as good as Literally everything else on this list. I understand if you disagree, but passing up on Miss Kobayashi's, the best comedy of 2017, and Demon Slayer which has gorgeous visuals feels wrong. Shokugeki is probably bias as it was my first real shounen (tended to avoid them up until that point), but Shield Hero presents such real emotion rare for an isekai. Maybe I just don't get it but Assassination Classroom just seemed like a slice of life anime with a miss-leading title and too many characters.

Vinland saga, if that crap will win. I will unsub of this patreon. It’s gonna be to much for me...

JT

That's so sad, how we gonna cope without you 😭

DefensiveOnion

...can someone clarify If this is some sort of meme or Troll, because calling Vinland Saga "crap" is one of the weirdest things I've read in a long time on the internet and thats saying something.

Raykel

I hope you didn't vote for Shield Hero with that statement lol

jase

i think its more of the fact that vinland is still running so we don't know whether it will be good or not while established shows likeass class and demon slayer we already know of their quality

HyloxalusFallax

It was on the polls again after that and thankfully lost horribly. In the first poll it only had a chance because of recency bias. And no, it wouldn't be better for reactions because of multiple reasons most obvious of which is that it's a pretty bad show.

Lupus Rose

@jason if it stays faithful to the manga then yes we know its gonna be good. Vinaland is up there will Bersek and Vagabond as the holy trinity of Seinen

Thilde

YESSSS I'm so excited Vinland Saga is on the poll!

Kingsley

Anyone who voted for anything besides assassination classroom is wrong

Raykel

Jason I know.... How can established classics like Demon slayer be put in the same category as newcomers like Berzerk, Vagabond and Vinland

Thilde

The bros would absolutely not like Overlord

Lufttwafe

I thought there’s just a manga. Just find out about anime 2019 lol. Because if they will review manga it just not interesting at all.

Lufttwafe

And my vote will be always for Overlord :3

2021-07-08 05:50:28 AssClass and Vinland would both make for really good choices. As much as I love Demon Slayer and Ufotable (and boy do I love me some Ufotable+ really enjoy the Kimetsu Manga for what it is), however I'm kinda on the boat of waiting on how long till we get a S2 and also how the whole Tax fraud Issue with Ufotable is gonna unfold. Also hoping we see Run with the Wind one day on some Polls. I know that they are reacting to Ippo right now and Haikyuu S4 soon, but they would be in love with the show for sure :)

Shade1410

Idk if it's just me but I really didn't like Assassination Classroom back in the day when I watched it. Maybe I'm just weird, but it's one of the few anime that I see everyone loving and I'm the only one who doesn't like it. I really hope Vinland Saga or Kimetsu no Yaiba win. Vinland Saga is winning and I hope it stays like that.

Andrew

I'm amazed Assassination Classroom is so popular on this list. It's not like it's something people really talk about anymore is it? It's an interesting premise and show but once the originality wears off it's just alright. Really surprised it's doing better than Yaiba considering it's one of the best shonens in a while and how well and popular both the anime and manga are doing right now.

Araragi Senpai

Vinland or Yaiba and I'd be happy honestly so best of luck for these two.

DangerZone

Vinland saga is sooo good, and since i know the bros loved berserk, it would be an excellent pick!

KasaiKouhai

Fucking hell Ass class is gonna lose for like the fourth time in a row

Irimu

Demon Slayer or Ass class, thats all I ask for.

Eric T VanVelson

Fingers crossed Ass Class can win. Vinland Saga had a pretty good first 3 episodes, but there's no guarantee the whole adaptation will be good and that's keeping me from voting

Swaybez

VINLANDDD

good stuff

I'm up for any of these actually (except for Vinland because I haven't seen it, but if it's good they should watch it). I'd be happy with any of the choices up there.

Vasja

may i propose "NEEDLESS". fun hype little series with very little plot good humor great OST and Koyasu, Takehito (Dio) as protagonist

Dr stone hopefully in the next poll!!!

Rhys Wolfman

thank god no terrible classroom

Sorin

Voting Vinland just so I don't have to sit through trash class

Craig Starbird

It was on a faction event poll for people who participated in the last faction event. It lost by like 2 votes to Kaguya iirc

Rolo

I can't get into Vinland Saga because anime and Vikings has a weird incompatability . I'm not saying it's bad, it's just how It feels to me.

Craig Starbird

I’d usually agree on waiting for an adaptation to finish but Wit has a very good track record and the first 3 episodes of Vinland were gorgeous. The thing I like most about the bros is their analysis and Vinland would give them so much to dig into I can’t imagine the reaction

Darksteel78

Overlord's quality dramatically drops after season 1. I think the Bros would like it for the shear D&D/RPG vibe. Feels like every other reaction, they mention D&D. Haha. Other than that...I don't know. I haven't watched their Slime reaction, but I can imagine the darker version of that reaction for Overlord.

Tom Smith

I don't see demon slayer winning, but hopefully it comes back in the future!

yukiyaya

Demon Slayer please!!!! We have a best girl right there!!!

Strawberry Samurai

Food Wars and Dragon Maid are great. The others are shit.

Katarina Kurko

I wrote this many times and I believe people wont ever vote for it but pleaaase oh please react to Noragami in the future ! It is such a funny and sad show at the same time.

Travis Saar

Ya, it's a weak poll. The only good option is a show that is still airing, which I don't like voting for as a few times a currently airing show won then kinda when to shit later on. I don't think it'll happen with Vinland but you never know. None of the others are good (except Maid dragon, but Jacob's already seen it and it isn't a good "reaction show" as is)

Travis Saar

Or another Ancient Magus Bride (Made by Wit). The Bros have a pretty poor history with currently airing shows winning polls then turning to shit. Don't think Vinland will but it does make me much more hesitant to vote for it.

corey Simmons

Vinland Saga is the only show here I have no interest in.

Hermanman

damn when oregairu

Book_Lover

Assassination Classroom! Come on Assassination Classroom!

Winter Chess Four

Yes vinland saga! (demon slayer would also be retty cool but would prefer VS)

Thios

Lot of good series on the list. Hope assassination classroom wins!

Flo娃子

Vinland Saga is gonna be the best show ever! The manga is really REALLY good.

Cunning Linguist

Vinland won't end up being garbage because the manga is better than both Berserk and Vagabond

Cunning Linguist

Vinland is easily the best in this list, no question. rest of the shows are just mediocre bargain bin shonens

AndyAsteroids

Gotta go with Kobayashi. Have to show Kyoani some love

BlackHaven

Can anyone explain why they wont like it? It seemed pretty popular, bad CG aside.

KasaiKouhai

Considering dragon is the farthest from shounen I’ll consider you braindead

GamingCreep

Shield hero is the best one this year

RandomThorn

However this poll goes, I really hope they don't look at the bottom three and assume that people don't want them. Every show on the list deserves to be watched and I really hope they're put on future polls

mai_21

assclass would be good if it's a binge watch, but since sosbros ain't doing that, demon slayer or vinland saga would be good episode per episode..

Blackeye

Who the fuck is voting for demon slayer crap?

Blackeye

Vinland is the best here then assassination classroom

Blackeye

Add magi the labyrinth of magic to the list please..it’s one of the best shows

RandomThorn

I can understand what you're getting at, but isn't Overlord just better than Slime which they have already seen? Maybe it's just me but I feel Overlord is far more engaging

Willhoe

except Food Wars. If we got them to watch that I'd feel sorry for them

RussellSD

Disagree with assassination classroom being 2nd best, Demon slayer, Shield hero and dragon maid are all better shows IMO. Not sure if vinland saga is the best but I can't dispute that since I haven't seen it, I am waiting for it to finish airing first so I can binge :P

wizizi

Guys if you won't vote for kobayashi i swear...

Minashiro Soushi

It always happens with most recent ongoing shows on the poll, people tend to proclaim it as the best shit ever, even though it haven't even started yet. Vinland is fine so far, but it's been just 3 episodes and it may go down the drain at any moment, so yeah, I'm not a fan of pushing for bros to watch anything with less than half a cour of episodes out.

Minashiro Soushi

This. It clearly overstayed it's welcome and should've ended a few seasons ago. How it has a fanbase at this point is beyond me.

Fuya

Loving all these choices but I was hoping we would at least see Dr. Stone making it to the poll D:

Niko

whats a faction event poll? is it something on discord?

Willhoe

Yeah but Magus Bride was also not an adaptation?

Craig Starbird

Yeah. There was a set of big events on the discord that split everyone into teams (or factions) and the winning team got a poll to vote on exclusively as a reward.

ElectricAnt

Voting for show with only 3 episodes is borderline retarded

ranelli38

So, you want me to choose between Assassination Classroom, Demon Slayer, Rising of the shield hero and Vinland Saga ? Why ? It's too hard for me to choose !!!

Book_Lover

You can vote for multiple, or even all, but it'll all depend on who wins the poll.

MuuMoo

Yasuhiro Takemoto, director of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid dead in arson attack at KyoAni. I'm not saying "So vote it," but I'm glad if you vote for it

Minashiro Soushi

FFFFFFFffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... I really hope the psycho gets a few life-long sentences for what he's done...

Minashiro Soushi

Well, yeah, WIT is stronk and show seems okay, but I won't vote for ongoings on principle >_>

Aaron Joushua

I came here to vote for Vinland saga I am glad I can finally support you guys in some way also pls consider watching Kobayashi dragons maid the recent incident on Kyo ani is truly heartbreaking

MuuMoo

Yes, all deaths are officially treated as missing. However, it's not likely to be still missing for several days. And sadly, his acquaintance tweeted that he dead.

tsainoah

Why is a show with 3 episodes out winning? Talk about recency bias lol. WIT is not god they can still fuck up this anime, it’s unknown quality. I’d take anything over VS (tho probably not Shield Hero it’s horrible)

Galorian

Comparing Overlord to Slime is pretty insulting to Overlord. Slime was an ok show that had a nice start and gradually went downhill, its main failing being that it tried to be conflict-centric yet failed to make the protagonist feel in any way threatened. As the novelty wore off, the protagonist being a walking plot device that can pull a solution to just about any problem out of his gelatin ass just made each problem less of a credible threat than the last and thus less interesting. Overlord is more akin to One-Punch Man when it comes to how it handles its fights. While I will be the first to admit that the CG quality dropped precipitously after season 1, CG quality is far from the be-all-end-all of a series. Overlord isn't a battle shonen, its strength lies in its story, world building, comedy and character interactions, which are great. Having better eye candy would've been nice, but the poor CG quality doesn't hurt the series as much as it would've an anime who's main draw is how it depicts teenage protagonists with spiky hair exchanging energy blasts/sword swings with the villain of the week. As for why people are saying SoS won't like it, my best guess is that they're salty because they feel betrayed by the drop in CG quality and can't bring themselves to see the series for what it is past it, kind of like how a huge chunk of the anime community is dead set on hating on One-Punch Man season 2 regardless of its merits simply because it didn't match the production quality of season 1 and thus betrayed their expectations. My other theory is that some people simply feel they need to hate on it because it's a popular isekai. Either way, I believe they're dead wrong.

Zaj

Vinland Saga is one of the greatest manga out there. Definitely up there with the likes of Berserk, not too far away even in the artwork department. And so far, the adaptation for Vinland has been excellent, though we have no way of knowing if it'll continue being great. But a story this good deserves my vote, even if the anime won't be perfect.

Galorian

The fire department stated it has accounted for everyone in the building at the time, "missing" simply means they haven't positively identified his body yet (given how extreme the fire was, it'll take serious forensics work to identify many of the bodies).

Raykel

The amount of people liking ShieldHero and even considering it a show for kids older than 10 is astonishing.

Jewake

Good shows are losing to a popular ongoing yet again, how surprising. Vinland Saga may be good, but there's at least a bit of bias in this poll. Unfortunate.

LaconicKibitz

No. Because they decided to start animating with Microsoft Powerpoint in the latest season. And the story starts going downhill after this arc. Like GoT Season 8 downhill.

Casioka

I'm surprised that Vinland Saga is winning against Assination Classroom

Rhys Wolfman

stop being a hater, Vinland Saga has a history as one of the best manga out there.

ArtficialFlvrz

The manga already exists so the contents of the story are known, so the only difference between ongoing and completed is number of episodes available, but they only watch one episode a week anyway so it's functionally the same.

The Pharaoh

No one voting for shield hero is such a travesty. So underrated

Matthew Harrison

damn not really excited for any of these.. Ah well

RandomThorn

I know you're exaggerating but still, the show is rated PG 13 and has some fairly dark themes. And even if what you say is true, there aint nothing wrong with liking kids show, take Gravity Falls and Star vs as examples. I assume you didn't like Slime given that it is definitely for a younger audience and, in my opinion, much duller than Shield

RandomThorn

While I agree that I'd like to see it get more votes, saying it's underrated is pretty hilarious

The Pharaoh

Underrated in the sense that most I’ve talked to write it off as Isekai trash and nothing more, not in terms of popularity

yukiyaya

I know Demon Slayer cant win this time round. I hope SOSbros will still put them in the next poll

RandomThorn

Just out of curiosity, how many of these have you watched? I only ask because personally the only one I wouldn't be too excited for is Assassination Classroom

16134163536

THANK YOU for not voting for shield hero. Started really well for like 2-3 episodes then became one of the worst animes I've ever seen. Would be a waste of time for them

Raykel

The PG13 stuff is not always accurate and I am sure no one really cares about that. They couldn't even kill off characters in such setting, instead they had to rename them... This is what you would usually only see in Disney movies or Nickelodeon animated shows. No way in hell it's a seinen

Minashiro Soushi

Dood, you should really watch some isekai shows from this season. Only then you will truly understand what "worst ever" means and how far Shieldbro is from it.

Minashiro Soushi

2 days and over 100 votes difference... Guess we'll be watching Overhyped Saga then, oh well.

TheCandyMan36

Aw yeah we vikings now.

Raykel

Minashiro, are you one of the guys that consider Isekai a genre on it's own instead of a premise/setting?! The genre is fantasy as it has been for centuries and it will remain that way. So why should he restrict himself to only Isekais? If he want's to compare shows he should just stick with the same genre and looking at fantasy animes we have on the list that is miles better then Shield Hero. Even though I wouldn't consider Demon Slayer a "good" show (cause it has it's weaknesses), it certainly is way better than Shield Hero. You can brainstorm a lot of cliches and then bet money that this cliches is going to be in this show. Sometimes you have shows where the characters think it's a game, but the world is cruel and proves them wrong. In Shield Hero it's vice versa: The character's are super serious saying this is not a game, while the world around them is a joke and completely unserious. No characters are dying, no consequences for any action. The most brutal thing that happened was the renaming of characters to Bitch and Trash.... This is ridiculous. Shield Hero saying: "Its not a game" with a serious face is really laughable with the amount of plot armour in this show. The world around them is literally just a game with stupid NPC around them and standard game mechanics.

Minashiro Soushi

Maybe from westerners point of view, you always tend to hype up some shows, that are... idk how to say it in a few words... Like, Vinland is fine, but that's it. A fine medieval show with good production. Dr. Stone is the same from this season, there's nothing really amazing in it, but the amount of hype surrounding it... Shingeki no Kyojin is the only exception I can think of, where the hype in the west was all over the place and I can say it was a fucking great show.

DrWomanRespecter

I've talked to people from all over the world that love Vinland Saga, not just people from the west...... so this already doesn't make sense. Vinland is so much more than just a "medieval show with good production", it has engaging characters, great pacing, a gripping story, and so far the anime is giving it a stellar production. Everyone should be excited for it, and I'm glad it's winning.

Minashiro Soushi

Really hope it will be as good as you said, I just don’t see it yet. Couple of possible plot lines I imagined don’t really stand out, so will be waiting for a surprise. Also, at least Vinland has some characters, unlike Dr. Stone. Glad it didn’t made the poll, would’ve been real travesty if it won xD

DrWomanRespecter

The show is a slow burn. What we are seeing now is literally the prologue, which will take off within the next episode or so

16134163536

Because IT IS seasonal isekai trash. It brings nothing new to the table, nothing interesting and not a single piece of good writing for more than the first 3 episodes. It is lazy and of very bad taste (all the kids fawning over the MC...).

Minashiro Soushi

I consider isekai as a sub-genre of fantasy, as most of the time it goes into sword and sorcery territory. And I'm not considering Shield Hero as the best thing ever, by the way, it's pretty good for what it is, but there are way better shows out there. My main point of contention is that in isekai sub-genre it is pretty high up there, if you line up all the alternatives, that's all I'm saying.

Thilde

"I just don’t see it yet" it's been 3 episodes you absolute dumb dumb. Jesus how elitist can you be?

Thilde

Literally the opposite if anything, lol. Even though I liked Dragon Maid

Aurora

I will assume you did not read the manga as you would be just as hyped... Vinland is considered one of the greats right along side berserk and vagabond.

ambrr

The amount of salty people because of Vinland Saga is great lmfaoo

Lol no, overlord was shitty from the very first season. It's a very boring and edgy power fantasy with the same core appeal as SAO. I would even say that Reki Kawahara can do better character development than the author of overlord which is pretty laughable when you think about it.

Abbie C

I really hope demon slayer wins I've been reading the manga since before the anime was announced.

The Pharaoh

Thoroughly disagree, The show has some of the best character development in Isekai, where evey other mc just instantly becomes a badass, while dealing with some pretty dark themes. No one ever claimed the show was revolutionary, and it doesn't have to be to be worth a watch, but claiming it is outright worse than most other Isekais is comedic.

Galorian

Ah yes, and of course there's the edgy assholes, though I suppose this one might fall under theory No#2.

HyloxalusFallax

It's the exact opposite, overlord and edgy are synonyms. That series attracts so much pathetic edgelords that it's not even funny. On the subreddit of this show when it was airing I personally witnessed some comments with pretty high karma along the lines of "it would so satisfying if they somehow implied that these innocent kids were sold off into the sex slavery". It's honestly unbelievable how this kind of cesspool can be created around any show. And of course there is enormous mob of rabid fanatics who try to justify everything from the LN be it authors' horrible writing or really fucked up morality. And I don't even hate isekai genre, overlord is just a really bad example of it.

RandomThorn

Yeah I agree, while not as good as Konosuba or Re:zero in my opinion, which I feel are the best the isekai genre has to offer. It certainly is far above any typical 'seasonal isekai trash'. I personally found it much more engaging then slime which I still don't quite understand why people loved it so much (nothing against it though)

Ace of Blades

Was hoping for Shield Hero or Assassination Classroom, but eh. I suppose not for now.

Minashiro Soushi

Mathias, wtf are you talking about? Yes, by the stuff I've seen in first 3 episodes it's an okay show about "hurr-durr, vikings stronk!", but people in comments say it'll pick up the pace. What's so "elitist" about that? Roman, my motto is "there is no source". I don't read manga at all and I do everything in my power to avoid any information about the shows I haven't seen yet, so all I can say is based upon the 3 aired eps, yup.

Woodsie89

Oh well, what I wanted didn't win. That just means I get to watch a new anime, can't complain about that!

Raykel

Minashiro again... If you decide not to read any source material to any show you watch, it's fine. You are free to do whatever your want. But if other people decide to read the manga, I think they have more rights to hype the anime then you have rights to criticize them for it, exactly for the reason that you did not read the manga. This whole thing started with you stating, its an overhyped anime despite having no knowledge about the show compared to readers of the source material. This makes you sound a bit elitist.

Jack SV

Yes

First time for a while I've struggled to pick from the list as there are 2 or 3 that I really want covered. Hopefully demon slayer (fantastic animation) and shield hero come back around again in the polls later on.

Danilo Martinez

The manga is one of the best ever on par with berserk and the bros really liked berserk so yeah

Canadian_Caesar

This is so awesome. Alexa, play Swedish Pagans.

mangoShores

What's with the food wars hate? I enjoyed it a lot and think it's pretty wholesome and entertaining

Canadian_Caesar

A lot of the patrons don't like Food Wars as a series (Just a matter of personal taste) and then there are a few people who have been turned off on Food Wars after the abysmal final arc of the manga. I hope they'll watch it sometime, but I'm not dying to see them watch it as much as I was when it first appeared on a poll a few months back.

Sadovari

Was going for shield hero, but that horse has sunk already. So I finally watched Vinland, wasn't expecting much. Pleasantly surprised. My vote goes to Vinland.

Core

Oof. Imagine only giving something like JoJo’s or HxH just one episode. Give it a few more.

InducedPhobia

Missed this poll, but excited for Vinland Actual good writing? In an anime? In 2019? This is truly a different a time.

tsainoah

Yeah lets just ignore ever other 2019 show because they all have bad writing amirite amirite? I love sucking WIT cock mmm slurping WIT penis juices Man, I'm also born in the wrong generation bro, anime now sucks assss, thank god for WIT and Vinland saga, the only thing stopping me from ending my meaningless existence bro

Luis Cruz

They're going to react to Vinland Saga I think it would be best for them to not see the opening until after episode 4

Sadovari

InducedPhobia, You were kinda right though, there has been some terrible writing this season. Shield hero being one of my top examples. Hell I love that show, but most of it turned really bad really fast. Hoping Vinland doesn't go the same way.

Yea idk read the first couple chapters of the manga and watched a little and idk why people are so crazy for it. Just looks like berserk and that exited people I guess.

DrWomanRespecter

We get it, you don't like Vinland. Guess what, those 3 episodes were better than anything else this season

Lærke

For next poll: I highly recommend Gravity Falls. It's not an anime (it's a cartoon), but it's full of mystery, discussion potential and amazing dialogue. Really check it out. It is fairly short (only 2 seasons), and I pray it goes on the poll one day

Book_Lover

It'd be neat if they opened up a cartoon slot, even if it was just once a week or something, so that way they're not overwhelmed with too many series, since they're reacting to a lot of anime, but yeah, it'd be real neat if they started reacting to cartoons in general.

Matt Maillet

wanted them to watch Demon slayer to see Caleb's reaction to the latest episodes (and because it's an amazing show) lol

RussellSD

I want to see the reaction to today's episode (ep 19) I AM SHOOKETH

Matt Maillet

Just watched the episode... HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT!

Marker

Demon slayer would have been so good especially considering the recent few episodes... next time hopefully

Lys Franc

I'm so sad that Demon Slayer isn't the winner. Is it possible that the serie will be in a next poll ?

Haider Ali

I really hope they put Demon Slayer in the next poll it really deserves a watch!

StreetFighterII

assassination classroom has little depth to it, it's just a simple fun anime anyways. Depends on what you're looking for, i guess.
