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!

Mushishi won but of course they dont pick it because its polls useless apparently.

Zachary Provenzano

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.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

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

The Great Santini

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

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

would you want to react to comi-san?

熊貓肚臍

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.

Aye Jaye

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

The Furies

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.

J

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

Dastro4

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

Brian Wilder

cmonnn kino's journey

Gordon Lou

Princesse tutu never gonna win but its so good 😭

Mélodie L'otaqueen

Ahhhh I was gonna vote NANA but she already has a lot of votes and Princess Tutu is on the list??! I gotta go with the Princess 👑

TrueHoneyBee

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

RoBroCrafts

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

IHateBeingAKangaroo

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

Audrey Dappen

Original, might check out the remake after though.

WaterYaDune

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

Leaky Peach

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

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

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 :)

WaterYaDune

Haibane renmei is so Sad!

Morringhan

Planetes!!

SaladOuO

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

Leaky Peach

Poor Beck :(

Ray walker

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

tapdisneyintome

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

明日香 雨

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?

Shade

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

Oscar0724

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...

María

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

M

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.

Aye Jaye

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

LY

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

Pocparks

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.

Xeltos

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

D

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.

Woodsie89

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

Ethan Durant

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.

Justin_IVIX

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

Rima Nayma

Have you watched Basilisk?

Sayaka380

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

Shade

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

Zeemod

"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.

Dopamine Cloud

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

Tmatts

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.

Dopamine Cloud

Space brothers this decade please

Drax

did they watch madoka?

Iago

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

Ciara

I hope Ashita no Joe wins.

Rose of Masmak

so many good choices

Brad I.

let's gooo mushishi!

Daniel

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.

Andrea Hernandez

nanaaaaaa

Andrea Hernandez

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

Jimillia Wilson

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!!!

Xeltos

Rose of versailles or kino's journey for me.

camel.d

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

InducedPhobia

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.

Lairdom

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

Aio le

Hopefully the original

neromxxn

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

Alix

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

NotMe

MUSHISHIIIII

kryever

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

Laurin Zucker

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!

SouthHill

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

XWF Outlaw

Fixed.

XWF Outlaw

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

Colin

Mushishi also has like two specials and a movie

Sloopgamer

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.

Garbage

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

Anime26

Gotta be dub tho

Travis DeZarn

Manifesting BECK

Travis DeZarn

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

Mabi

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

D50

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

Oswin

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

KEN K

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.

Marika Pauley

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

Molly McDougal

Same!

Joey

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)

XWF Outlaw

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

The Furies

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

NanoPIX

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

Me Too Thanks

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

Gabruoy

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

mint

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.

Tbush

These are my two picks as well. You have good taste!

The Great Santini

Vote Space Brothers and Mushi shi!

The Great Santini

Literally Kino

Tbush

Princess Tutu is the perfect follow up to RGU!

M.Tran

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

Leaky Peach

ASHITA NO JOE AND MUSHISHI!! PEAK FICTION!

Timo

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

Oswin

beck would be such a ride

Ben.jajaja

Mushishi or Space Brothers lesss gooo plz! Rooting for them

Kenzo

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

Asael Urena

Kino would be an awesome reaction
