We're coming up on the end of Revolutionary Girl Utena, 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 YOUR FAVORITES of these listed anime that you would like to see us react to! We always take note of which shows get plenty of votes, but don't win.

THIS POLL IS VERY SPECIAL!

Of the top four shows that receive the most votes, Jacob and I will each pick one to watch in order of which got the most votes! 

NOTE: Jacob has seen about a dozen episodes of total of various shows on this list, and Caleb has only seen a few random episodes of Mushishi.

Thank you all so much for your continued generous support!

ElectricAnt

Erinna

neromxxn

Kino would be an awesome reaction

Alba Zawa

SPACE BROS PLEAAASEE

Kenzo

Mushishi or Space Brothers lesss gooo plz! Rooting for them

Asael Urena

Please vote beck boys! Never seen anyone react to this masterpiece.

Ben.jajaja

beck would be such a ride

Oswin

Why you should vote Ashita no Joe: The grandfather of sports anime, highly influential on the genre and anime as a medium, would be the oldest series they'd have seen yet, has been referenced in many many shows the Bros have seen already, they've already watched Megalobox which was literally made as a 50th anniversary celebration of ANJ, and lastly its peak fiction. If you vote for Joe I love you

Timo

ASHITA NO JOE AND MUSHISHI!! PEAK FICTION!

Leaky Peach

All of my favorites won't win, but I'll vote anyway dammit!

M.Tran

Princess Tutu is the perfect follow up to RGU!

Tbush

Kino 2003 is the definitive version (and the 2 half hour short films and 12 min ova that never got western releases) while 2017 reboot is alright.

mint

I haven't watched any of these before but i just read the summary for and i can't choose they all seem so good fr

Gabruoy

Kino has always been one of my favorite shows, such a unique experience that I never would have expected to see on here

NanoPIX

Space Brothers is one of my favorite anime ever, theres literally no one reacting to it, it would be so dope!

Me Too Thanks

I expected to see haibane in last place but it still hurts :'^)

The Furies

I feel like Princess Tutu sort of goes well with Revolutionary Girl Utena, like a wine pairing. :P

XWF Outlaw

Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe)- 100 Episodes Beck- 26 Episodes Haibane Renmei- 13 Episodes Kino's Journey- 13 Episodes (+ 2 Movies) Mushishi- 48 Episodes (+Movie) Nana- 47 Episodes (-Recaps) Planetes- 26 Episodes Princess Tutu- 26 Episodes Rose of Versailles- 40 Episodes (+ Movie) Space Brothers- 99 Episodes (+Movie)

Molly McDougal

A vote for Princess Tutu is a vote for magical girl duck ballet dance battles.

Marika Pauley

Princess Tutu and The Rose of Versailles are both perfect follow-ups to Utena on top of just being amazing on their own! Begging people to consider them.

KEN K

I hope Haibane Renmei, but every shows are special. I'm so happy

Oswin

Correction: Joe is 100 episodes. The last 26~ episodes of s1 overlap with the start of s2 so they should be skipped. zthe s1 episodes i mean

D50

Would've loved to immediately follow Utena up with Witch From Mercury for the lulz.

Mabi

VOTE ROSE OF VERSAILLES. it's one of the most influential and iconic manga of all time, it was the first ever shoujo manga and manga made by a woman to achieve mass success and it played a large role in changing the landscape of shoujo manga in the 70s, and it led to so much interest in French history and culture that the mangaka was awarded the highest French order of merit by the French government

Anime26

Man I'm crossing my fingers for Nana. It's sooo good and it hits harder when you watch it in your young 20s lol

Garbage

Surprised to see my favorite show, Kino's Journey, on here. doesn't look like it'll win. But its still nice to see its being considered.

Colin

Ngl it's the only one on this list I haven't ever heard of

XWF Outlaw

The 2 specials were included in the episode count. Forgot to add the movie. Fixed.

SouthHill

Oooh, Mushishi. Looks like it's winning. Will be interesting to rewatch, as it's been almost 15 years since I watched it. Been meaning to watch it again to see if it holds up to being one of my favourite anime of all time. Space Brothers too, being one of my favourites, tho unfortunately only third place. At least that probably means we'll get it eventually!

Laurin Zucker

Some real classics here. I'm rooting for Ashita no Joe

kryever

MUSHISHIIIII

NotMe

which Kino's Journey? The one from 2003 or from 2017?

Alix

vote princess tutuuuuuu it's such a good follow-up to utena

Aio le

The link is showing the 2003 version so its likely that one.

Lairdom

oh wow, this is some nostalgia. Nana gets a vote from me for its soundtrack alone. Would love to rewatch that with you guys. Mushishi is great but I have rewatched it not too long ago (with Teaboo) so not sure about that. Planetes is also quite high on my list.

InducedPhobia

Ashita no Joe for the love of God No reactions on the internet for this goat level character study

camel.d

Rose of versailles or kino's journey for me.

Xeltos

Not sure which version of BECK you'd be watching if it evervgets chosen but both sub and dub are good. I LOVE the dub though. LETS GO MUSHI-SHI!!!

Jimillia Wilson

I love the dub for Beck only wish copywrite issues hadn't stopped the dub album...

Andrea Hernandez

Rose of Versailles??? OMG!!!! I haven't seen anyone outside Europe and Latin America watching this anime, it's mega famous in our countries, but USA ? never seen before, I don't know a single fan from that country.

Daniel

let's gooo mushishi!

Brad I.

so many good choices

Ciara

Kinos Journey is a very unexpected choice on here. Heavily underrated

Iago

did they watch madoka?

Drax

Space brothers this decade please

Dopamine Cloud

Great poll, Joe still deserves it the most simply because I feel that as it ages people forget just how incredible of an achievement that production is. Absolutely enthralling character writing, direction and animation almost every single episode.

Tmatts

This list is criminal. Pretty much every single option is top tier. Shame on you lol

Dopamine Cloud

"they should be skipped" is nonsense btw. Joe 2 is a different production made A DECADE later and should probably have its own poll entry for this reason, or at least considered as something more than just a sequel. It's also an adaptation of the original joe manga of course, but to say it "overlaps" with Joe 1 like they just aired the same stuff again is disingenuous. Iirc they placed 2 in a different time period from the manga even.

Zeemod

Aw shit I may finally end up watching Nana for the first time with yall

Shade

Kino's Journey (2004) is very underrated. I know it won't win, but it's a welcome surprise that it's here.

Sayaka380

Have you watched Basilisk?

Rima Nayma

Looks like it will come fourth, so it still might be chosen if I understand the poll correctly.

Justin_IVIX

Mushishi winning a popular vote!? What upsidedown backwards world did I wake up in today? I don't know, but don't send me back.

Ethan Durant

Space brothers is actually so underrated it deserves someone to react to it sooner or later

Woodsie89

Haven't seen any of these shows, but half of them are on my ptw list, so it looks like I'm finally gonna knock at least 1 of them off.

D

Genuinely surprised Mushishi is winning. It's a subdued classic. Also, Beck is another great. If you ever watch it, go DUB!

Xeltos

Yeah, but we did get alot of the songs on the dvds in the form of music videos. Back in the day i converted them to music files.

Pocparks

holy shit mushishi is winning, am i dreaming rn? i know it doesn't necessarily mean its gonna get picked but still,, omg,,,,

LY

I honestly think it makes sense since it's the most popular anime on this poll. I also personally think it's the best.

Aye Jaye

I'm crying in the club right now after seeing not only Mushishi being the #1 pick, but also Space Brothers is #3 and also guaranteed. Space Brothers made me feel warm in my heart, I need the bros to watch it immediately.

M

I want to see your reactions to Nana and the Space Brothers.

María

I hope you guys will include Bungo Stray Dogs in a future poll. I can't believe you're missing out on the S4 and S5 madness...

Oscar0724

"Mushishi" and "Rose of Versailles" !!! PLEASE!!

Shade

Oh, does that mean the top four anime will be done in succession? Or a random anime will be chosen from the top four or something?

明日香 雨

Bungo Stray Dogs' newest season is sooo good. Please, I can't wait to see you guys be stunned.

tapdisneyintome

Princess Tutu would really give a lot for discussion I feel but looks like getting slaughtered

Ray walker

Poor Beck :(

Leaky Peach

Kino's Journey is barely hanging on, lol! Hang in there!

SaladOuO

Planetes!!

Morringhan

Haibane renmei is so Sad!

WaterYaDune

I randomly picked Kino’s Journey to watch because of this poll and goddamn…I’m only a few episodes in but I’ve never stopped to just think so much this early on in a series. Really hope you guys get around to it one day :)

LetMeLemur

The latter. Caleb and Jacob will each pick a show out of the top final 4. An example with the current poll standings as I type this (to clarify once again this is just an EXAMPLE): Mushishi, Nana, Space Bros, and Kino are top 4 in that order. Say Caleb picks Nana and Jacob picks Kino or something. So even though Mushishi might have the most votes, it won't get watched and neither will Space Bros. Then the votes between the two shows *they chose* is what settles the watch order. In this example, Nana currently has 278 and Kino has 203 so Nana would be watched first then Kino.

LetMeLemur

Hope that make sense and don't mind the deleted comment. I accidentally pressed enter and I wasn't anywhere near done typing it so I decided to delete instead of edit

Leaky Peach

Which one are you watching? The remake or the original by Ryutaro Nakamura?

Audrey Dappen

I adore Princess Tutu because it gets super artsy and VERY meta. You guys would have a ton of fun with it

IHateBeingAKangaroo

OMG Mushishi on a poll! The possibility of having Mushishi reactions! What a day to be alive

RoBroCrafts

Space Bothers is one of my favorite shows, I hope they pick it!

Mélodie L'otaqueen

Princesse tutu never gonna win but its so good 😭

Gordon Lou

cmonnn kino's journey

Brian Wilder

Oh my God, they are going to react to Mushishi, which is, currently, my favorite anime? Getting my Mushishi DVD Collection on standby.

Dastro4

Not confirmed yet as they will pick the show themselves out of the top 4

J

Man I was pulling for Princess Tutu so hard. There's so much to theorize and talk about pretty much each episode I think they would love picking it apart. Plus it might get more people to watch an amazing show.

The Furies

I was saying earlier, I think it pairs well with Utena for that reason.

Aye Jaye

All of the top 4 are great shows, but I am praying for Space Brothers to be picked. I badly need people to watch the show that got me through my mid 20s.

熊貓肚臍

would you want to react to comi-san?

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

Do we know which 2 shows they chose? I really hope Nana is one of them, the other one can be whatever.

The Great Santini

Why are so many people obsessed with Nana? Space Brothers is superior.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

Because Nana is one of the few masterpieces out there. There are only a handful of anime and manga that can beat it. Nana is more than any anime that came after it has ever dreamed to me.
