FMAB Update

Hell yes to Madoka Magica. 13 eps.

Austin Yun

My votes are for Vinland Saga, Psycho Pass S1, and Madoka Magica. The last two are not very recent but they definitely hold up in quality despite being almost a decade old.

Kaiji is brilliant and Im would have a field day with it.

LEX the Lexicon Artist

The 3 I would recommend short term are Vinland Saga, Tower of God and the Promised Neverland. However after Death Note you should definitely do Hunter X Hunter (and maybe 2 eps per reaction with it being as long as it is) 10/10 on all levels (music, story, characters, art, philosophy) and the best anime of all time in my opinion close with aot.

Izzak

Tower of God is a great short series with tons of mystery, world building and layers to the story. Its manga/manwha is regarded as arguably the best to come from korea.

Izzak

Loved Vinland Saga! I was pleasanlty suprised by it

WIT did a wonderful job with Vinland

zeldro

Vinland Saga is a great choice. Also by WIT and, in my opinion, looks even better then AOT S3B somehow, also a show that has a heavy focus on character, a bit of mystery and deeply emotional. The relationships between characters are complex and meaty. I think it's a very 'you' show.

Phil Higgins

Aot slot will be free around April. I think this is about an extra slot.

Zero 陰陽

Vinland saga sounds awesome

Hydro

I'd love this. The novel is (like always) better but I still really dig the TV show, excellent blend of mystery, suspense and horror. Nice Twin Peaks vibes.

Annatar

Yeah, Vinland Saga, Promised Neverland are both short and great. I'd like to add Kaiji there. Such an underrated piece. It's short too, though has two seasons, might do just first one. And while FMAB is one of my favorites, I'd really like to suggest Legend of the Galactic Heroes. 110 episodes for animated adaptation. Politics, history, human nature, it poses many excellent questions and explores them.

If you like good storytelling, you can try Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, Its an extremely interesting and sometimes disturbing Horror/thriller anime. the story its fascinating and very well made, but its kind of a fucked up anime tho. It last 26 episodes the first part, and it is divided in arcs. Its an old anime from 2006?, so it's not technically impressive, but its very well made. The subtle disturbing aspect, the perfect atmosphere and fascinating story are things that I´m sure you would like about it.

Sh3nx

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Very good watches and right up his alley

DJ IC

Vinland saga is great. I think you'd really like The Promised Neverland too, right now it's only season 1 with 12 episodes. Or for something more lighthearted One Punch Man could be fun as well.

Miss Mewiththat

Steins;Gate (25 eps) or Promised Neverland (12 eps) are my suggestions!

Al

Dorohedoro, No Guns Life, Promised Neverland, Made in Abyss, Megalo Box (12-13 episodes) Dororo, Dr. Stone, both seasons of Mob Psycho 100 (24-26 episodes)

Squidlord

I would say Vinland saga, The promised neverland, and fate/zero would be some good options to think about

ErnieSlamJams

Why are people recommending Steins Gate? He specifically said he wanted to try something recent.

Paradox

YEEEEEEEEEEES Vinland Saga!!!! Fingers crossed that Fate/Zero or Psycho Pass are on the list as well

Polygon

Is SG0 even good? I only watched the first season

I see a lot of steins gate in the recommandations but its not that recent and its around 50 episodes with the 2 seasons.

Hassan

yes, he said it in a patreon post that he'll start watching it in January after all episodes of s3s2 are released

GeorgeYTG

I'm not sure if you talked about this before, but are you planning to watch AoT final season after finishing the current set?

Steve Bachman

Since no one has mentioned it, Paranoia Agent with 13 episodes would be perfect for you 😊

m_yshd

How do people like suzy lu(no hate on her) get away with doing popular entire series worth of reactions (naruto, naruto shippuden) without a single hiccup? How lucky lmaom I wanna know their secret. Is it the fact that shes in uk? Maybe depending where you are uploading from thats what affects it. Honestly shits mysterious to me. Sorry random

Wolves

I feel like Vinland will lose a popularity vote but it's perfect to replace the AoT slot.

Yasha

Man, this is some exciting news! I wonder if Steins;Gate is on the list since it only has 24 episodes, but idk if you'd consider 2011 to be 'recent'. Anyway, I think you'd love it.

GeorgeYTG

Steins;Gate has my vote. But if you absolutely need something recent than I'd say The Promised Neverland

Sebastiano Barreca

Maybe you could keep in the week one slot for a long anime and one for a short anime (exemple: tuesday:short anime and friday: long anime). like that we wont be stuck with 2 longs anime for months.

Hassan

I know not everyone might be for it but with the second half of the second season of Re:zero airing soon, I feel like it is a really good choice. The show is great and has a current popularity wave going on. Steins;Gate is good, but I don't know if that counts as recent (Ultimately up to you, just thought I would mention). If you wanted something even shorter that is also really recent and popular, The Promised Neverland is a good choice as it is also getting a new season soon (should only get up to 24 episodes). Beastars is also a good choice but I don't know how people would feel about that one

RandomThorn

Psycho pass s1 is one of my favorite anime seasons EVER. Can and should totally be watched as a single season experience too. Also has a fantastic dub. Just a bummer that season 1 is now a little dated - came out back in 2012-2013ish

Sarah S

Vinland Saga, Steins Gate and Fate Zero!

Sloopgamer

I get that starting a long series can be quite daunting, some of my favorites are rather long and getting through those one week at a time will take years. And yeah, I agree with the others Vinland would be right up your alley.

RaijinCloud

We'll see what the poll is ultimately, but I love that Vinland is for sure an option! Would love to see your reactions to that. Other short series to consider would be Psycho-Pass (only the first season, which is 22 episodes) or Madoka Magica (12 eps).

Eric Thomas

One Punch Man S1 - 12 Episodes (2015) Parasyte: The Maxim - 24 Episodes (2014) Another - 12 Episodes (2012) Erased - 12 Episodes (2016) Honorable Mentions: Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin - 26 Episodes (2010) Aoi Bungaku Series - 12 Episodes (2009) This is basically my all time favorites.

nickelium

Vinland saga 100%. It's right up your alley. If not, cowboy bebop is my second choice

zeldro

Vinland Saga would be a perfect anime for you to react to a nice mix of action and masterful storytelling

melo

Parasyte!!

EmboZam

Vinland, Steins Gate, Kaiji

Netero

Another - 12 episodes, Rokka No Yuusha - 12 episodes, Parasyte - 24 episodes, I think youve mentioned Cowboy Bebop a couple of times thats only 26 episodes.

Trevor DeMarco

Hopping on that Steins;Gate bandwagon. Absolutely one of my top favorite anime regarding its story and I think you would eat it up!

Vinland saga rocks. If you’re feeling a change of pace tonally, I saw mob psycho 100 on the list and it’s super funny, killer animation while also being really strong in its character and thematic writing

Sarah S

Berserk!!

Gonza Antonio

Stiens gate man

adam john peters

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Would love Demon Slayer, but it isn't totally in line with you're other channel content (doesn't really have any super deep or thought-provoking storytelling, but its a really enjoyable watch all around. And it's only 1 season).

elliot

What the hell is FMAB ...

Gonza Antonio

I second Steins;Gate.

Dhiraj Malapati

Steins;Gate is the only correct choice.
