Vinland Saga Replacement Poll

 

We're coming up on the end of Vinland Saga!!  As such we'll be getting this poll done in advance so we all know what's coming next.

This poll has no specifc theme, we tried to put a little bit of everything on here! We even put our impressions of what the show is about as a test!

Vote for ANY AND ALL that you would like to see. We always take note of which shows get 2nd/3rd place. Whichever gets the most votes we will release early access reactions on the Sunday when Vinland Saga's final episode goes public.

- Jacob has seen Anohana and Barakamon-

Thank you all so much for your continued generous support!

Barakamon :(

Harry Connor

Still holding out hope for Assassination Classroom to get in via persistent 2nd place. It's happened before, hopefully it'll happen again.

Alchemyst

Run With The Wind has criminally low votes.

Arekiris

Really wanted to see Assassination Classroom or Noragami. Unfortunately, recency bias determines that we get mediocracy instead

M-sama

have they seen food wars because i would love to see them react to it

Harry Rutter

Polls need to have locked-in votes

Thios

I think that would be when Caleb makes the choice since Jacob has already seen Barakamon

Torango

Salty?

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

Yet another shitty shounen for the bros to slug through

Travis Saar

Nobody cares about Ass the Class

L

AssClass will never win when it faces of against a seasonal hype anime

Lukas Geissler

Love Dr.Stone, but I really want the Assassination Classroom first. I have been waiting for the bros to react on that show since forever. At least, according to the post, 2nd place will get their recognition, right?

RyouQD

Couldn't agree more, though toxic is a bit far except for a few people. I feel a much better variety of shows and themes could be covered if it wasn't for the whole most popular vote wins system which almost always results in either a basic shounen or current trend (and consequently more often than not forgotten within a year or so) and commonly reacted to show being picked.

Levi Blair

I think we should suggest an anime and the bros look at the premise of those proposed and decide which they would enjoy the most. This voting system just becomes toxic.

Loken

Blade Of The Immortal adaptation flopped hard, and I don't think this poll includes new seasonals so thats why Eizouken isn't in it

Cunning Linguist

Also, as a side note, Dr. Stone's popularity is a bit overstated. It did well in the west due to heavy marketing push from western streaming sites, but in Japan it was barely in the middle, when airing. DVD/BR sales flopped completely (less than 1k units per volume).

Minashiro Soushi

It's great in some ways, but really terrible in others, it mostly depends on what you value more. For me, personally, characters are the most important aspect and Dr. Stone has none. Instead it goes for the cardboard cutouts with a single shtick as a replacement for personality. The only parts of it I genuinely enjoyed was about Senku's dad and the stuff happening immediately after him waking up. The rest was painfully mediocre. Oh, but for other people? Stuff happening! Characters run around "questing" all the time! Neat visuals! But these reasons aren't what I'm watching anime for.

Minashiro Soushi

Where the hell is Blade of the Immortal & Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken ?

TheBagSenpai

Kaiji is underrated gold. So sad to see it has so little votes

Jarnick

Second cour has some of the best moments!

Jess5_11

I adore Run With The Wind i really hope they watch it! But i also love Dr Stone a lot. Something being popular doesn't immediately make it basic or obvious. It's popular for a reason it's great!

Jess5_11

as much as I like Dr. Stone, wish more of the older anime had a chance. Assclass or Noragami would be lit

Ghastly Yōkai

Steins;Gate:0 ~

SaladOuO

You could be waiting a while on that, since jacob has already seen it, it would have to be Caleb to pick it on a tyranny slot, and to my knowledge, he’s not the most inclined to pick this genre

GooeyEngineer

assasination classrom is such a good anime not gonna lie

Charles

Anohana is on Netflix now, so I feel more people will have a chance to watch it.

Daniel Tenorio

Ah man, Kaiji would've been incredible...

Bananaramahamadama-sama

Dr Stone is so meh, a shame it’s beating Assassination Classroom

matt_lot_

Anohana!! I don't think it will ever win a poll with all the hype/new shows here, so I hope you pick it on your own someday!

Colin Jordan

Run with the wind has no chance of ever winning since not many people watched it, so i hope you guys watch a trailer and choose to watch it on your own! Animated by the same studio as Haikyu, it's a work of art. You can't not cry. Dr Stone is such a basic choice :/

Max Drap

It would've been Beastars otherwise, current season shows win by default, as usual. Stone is my 2nd worst pick from the selection, but at least it didn't went to Noragami -_-

Minashiro Soushi

God damn it, i'm not lucky xD The only show i don't really want to watch from this list (dropped it around the end of 1st cour) is winning again. Here's hoping we'll still get to Beastars, Kaiji and SY sometime.

Anonimowy Gaal

Eh, I wouldn't say that at all - general appeal isn't something that's easily measured

RainbowDragoon

Because SCIENCE OF COURSE!!!

Leszek Wykowski

BEASTARS... for the furries!!

Ben.jajaja

That's what he's saying. He wants them to watch Barakamon as their own choice even if it doesn't win a poll, just like they did with Gridman.

ArtficialFlvrz

Epic Narrater voice: Not enough love is shown for Kaiji, BUT WHY?, BUT WHY? BUT WHY? Is it because Anohana jerked their eyes? NO! Is it because Assassination Classroom hit it's Mark? NO! Is it because Babylon was a hidden gem? NO! THEN WHY? WHY? WHY? It is because ..........

lor_d_bannu

i thought they did gridman already

Amasian

Man I hope the boys pull a SSSS Gridman on Barakamon and watch it for the channel for shits and giggles. ...Though Dr. Stone is just *too* good for them to pass up.

Senpai

Man Shin Sekai Yori and Babylon not getting much love here is to bad, those would be awesome for discussion.

Levi Blair

Assassination classroom always comes so close, then some new hotness beats it over the head. Tragic.

NeoPockeyG

My vote goes to Beastars and Kaiji. Wish they had Texhnolyze on the poll.

R_K41

you can vote for more than one thing

warywizard

Voted Dr. Stone but both Kaiji and Steins Gate are things I want y’all to see as well. 🤨

Core

Aaaah and adorable Barakamon what a great poll. Dr Stone ftw.

Jess5_11

Ahhh Dr Stone and Run With The Wind yaaaas

Jess5_11

Re:Creators still isn't on the shortlist, am I right? Come on mods, go watch it and tell me it isn't a perfect show for bros!

Minashiro Soushi

Dr. Stone fam

Jules Eris

Beastars and Run with the Wind needs to win!!!

wow

Shinsekai Yori is a diamond in the rough bros, please let it be in future polls :c It has GOD tier plot twists, and I'd say it's more of a thriller or i guess a psychological thriller c;

snic

Yo, I need Beastars to win, it's so good. It'll definitely spark some fantastic discussion, and honestly I just need to get a fix until season 2 comes out.

Clorox-neesan

Just putting in a verbal vote for Shinsekai Yori since it will never win for real

AndyAsteroids

Man, I'm really not interested in watching them react to Dr. Stone compared to most of these other choices. Shinsekai Yori or Run with the Wind would be the dream but of course they have no chance. Guess I'll pray Assassination classroom makes a miracle run.

Marcus Bae

Dr Stone won't be terrible (better than slime was at least) but compared to Beastars and Run With the Wind witch need more attention I can't say I would prefer it. Still waiting for Chihayafuru to be on a poll...

RandomThorn

These comments piss me off, stop complaining and don't watch the reaction, enough said

DrWomanRespecter

They are scared that if they put it in a poll, people will troll and of course we all don’t want that

yukiyaya

Barakamon is a nice slice of life series but maybe it’s better if you watch it on your own free time, because there is not much to discuss, it’s just a feel good anime with breathtaking Japanese calligraphy

yukiyaya

Shinsekai Yori is highly underrated - what a waste. One of the bros will have to choose it to watch on Tuesdays.

Ryan

Tbh i’m okay with all of these, mostly I’ve heard good things about while some I’ve read the manga

yukiyaya

I voted for Dr. Stone because it’s amazing, but Run with the Wind was amazing as well 😭 The choice is impossible!

Tyreesh Simmons

Shinsekai Yori is easily the best option here, but there's no way it's ever going to win against more current shows like Dr. Stone.

Bryce Nielsen

One day steins;gate will win!

McArthur

Please anything but Dr. Stone......

Stairguy

Beastars is one of the best series of this year, if it wasn't for Vinland Saga's last episode I would of put Beastars ahead of it. Really enjoyed Dr. Stone too but its not on the same lvl.

Ryan H

Assclass, Beastars, and Kaiji are all amazing contenders that the bros should see. Dr. stone will be good, but I can't say I'm as excited for it to win as many of the others

Hazelcrit

People throw around masterpiece too lightly nowadays.

HybridThizzle

I think the boys would get a kick out of Noragami.

HybridThizzle

ofcourse newfags are gonna win with theur new shows

DeadMeme228

Love both Assassination classroom and Dr. Stone.

RyouQD

BEASTARS!

Buzzlitebeer

Surprised to see Shinsekai Yori.

Erd'na

My first pick would def be Dr. STONE. Beastars is a close second.

JsnSkg

Run with the Wind is always underrated... and NOT "Haikyuu Itch". Each episodes is not hype and slow pace but build-up, build-up, build-up, and BOOM!! big explosion is coming. you can't resist it. I want they will watch it even without reaction. it's really good show. (off course i want watch their reaction but.)

malts

Beastars is the best show on this list.

Foxfire

Recency bias too strong

Ezutess

Shinsekai Yori is so underrated

Sorin

plz be kaiji or assassination classroom

Zenden

More people watch Barakamon!

Zeemod

Fuxk this I want something older D: recency bias for dr.stone I love stone but wanted something older. Kaiji or Kaze ga one day :(

Alba Zawa

because they're going to be doing it anyway. it's the same situation as MHA.

Xeltos

Berserk was also half blind, was still great.

Xeltos

It really hurts that it’s half blind, meaning that not only does it get less votes, but also Jacob can’t really pick it for the tyranny slot since he’s already seen it

GooeyEngineer

Also Anohana and Babylon are both so low in vote counts... this is sad. Those are probably both in my personal top 10 list.

Jaguar Man

Why is haikyuu S4 not on here? It's out on Jan 10th.

Jaguar Man

Beastars is a masterpiece. Thought provoking and touching... it's so good. Hoping it reaches its rightful place at #1. Also pulling for Run With the Wind eventually!

aaaah, they added shinsekai yori!! ♥ ♥

amiamalie

Barakamon/Noragami/AnoHana/RWTW...ugh RIP.

Xeltos

Uzamaki khan just got to season 2 of Kaiji.

Loro Lukic

BEASTARS

DrWomanRespecter

Aw, sure sucks that you watched 83458 Dr. Stone reactions before this

TheHumourTumour

God damn it guys. Please think to pick Run With the Wind for one of your Tuesday slots one day. It's never going to win a popularity contest like this. Especially against shows that just aired.

BK456

Kaiji would have been perfect for them and I've never seen any other channel do that one either. Instead we're gonna get to see Dr Stone for the 83459th time. How exciting.

Skorpan

Beastars isn’t for everyone. Don’t push expectations on Dr stone just cause it is winning. Maybe more people like it compared to Beastars. Doesn’t mean you have to like it or agree with it but dr stone is more likable to most.

L

By the look of it, it seems Dr stones going to win. But I'm still praying that assassination classroom wins but it probably won't.

OkamiDrawsArt

Come on it’s gotta be dr stone guys we need this

L

Beastars being in third place is very disappointing for me. Definitely the best show in this poll.

RoastyMyToasty

beastars or Dr stone and I am happy, Shinsekai yori could be good too but I don't think it's a very good reaction anime not really much reaction to be had a lot of the time.

RussellSD

I dream of the day when Kaiji wins.

Worried Scotch

Please, Beastars ...

Adrian

Kaiji :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

BigBossFTW

Idk, Dr Stone seemed overrated to me

Gaelynn Hartmann

It's a shame about Beastars, poll is starked against it

DasFriggimon

It's a shame about Beastars, poll is starked against it

DasFriggimon

I get its like comparing apples to brake pads, but when something like Beastars (where every minute feels used to its fullest) is the runner up, it puts allot of expectations onto Dr. Stone.

Connor Brown

AnoHana keeps getting set up for failure, damn.

Xeltos

I swear to god that I will cry if Assassination Classroom doesn’t win a poll soon 🥺

EnzioAkira

NORAGAMI DESERVES THIS lmaooo just some respect

SHIN

Dr Stone would have the most discussion therefor gets my vote.

Cpt Adder

Dr. Stone is a great show in my opinion, the first 5 or so episodes are a bit of a slog though.

Trxps

I feel the same way. Let's hope run with the wind can at least make it to the top three voted

Trxps

Nooo, Please don't let DR stone beat out Assassination classroom, I've been waiting so long!

Woodsie89

Come on folks, let's get Run with the wind to at least the top 3!

Trxps

The Shinsekai Yori dream lives on.

Nikola Nikolovski

Or NORAGAMI

cassherms

DR STONE 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

cassherms

Ugg is Dr. Stone even a ok show? The first 2 episodes turned me off so much, none of the characters were likable...

Connor Brown

Going for Dr. Stone, Shinsekai Yori and Tuturu! I mainly want Dr. Stone to win but Shinsekai and Steins;Gate also need some love

Yuion

Noragami TTTT

Eren Jaeger

Shinsekai Yori never :(

Mithroll

If they do assassination classroom I hope they do the subbed but I also gotta vote for dr stone bro (babylon is also neato)

Thelmus Celetius

Shin Sekai Yori is a pipe dream, but Beastars might have a chance.

Dekalabia

I've never seen assassination classroom so I voted for Dr Stone .

JT

It's a shame that Babylon isn't getting any love

Paradox

Recency bias is so clear on these polls... Doesnt seem like we are ever getting Assasination Classroom :(

Eirik Borlaug

Id rather have assassination classroom since theres already so many Dr. Stone reactions but at least this time all probable winners are more or less good.

Irimu

All great shows! But ngl, i was hoping for a Dr. Stone reaction from the bros ever since the anime was announced. My dad guessed the ep 15 twist after watching 5 minutes of the first episode, so i wonder how long it's gonna take the bros to theorize about it.

Ness HD

DR STONE!! IT HAS TO BE DONE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER..

Adrian Sjöberg

Same. I was going to say maybe if they did a sports themed poll it would win but I don’t think they’d do one until after Ippo is done.

BeesKnees

Run with the wind, assassination classroom and dr.stone are all good picks ^_^

Able Tv

ZAWA ZAWA!!

Jcw490

Aw, it's a shame they put so many great shows on the same poll. Disappointed that Kaiji isn't doing better but oh well... Voted for it anyways along with Beastars and Run with the Wind. I know they would enjoy Beastars plus it's only 12 episodes y'all.

AP

Hoping for Barakamon or Run with the Wind; great feel good shows.

Yaana

Please vote Assassination Classroom! It's time for it to win a poll already...

bennydelon

Maybe after Haikyuu season 4 ends we can get them to watch Run with the Wind then, when they'll be missing that kind of feel good sports show. Until they pick it up though I'll just rewatch it and cry over the good running boys by myself

justaperson

Kaiji is absolutely amazing and you guys need to watch it. Otherwise I also voted dr stone since its popular and fairly entertaining . Also I'm not certain if you have already seen it, but you guys liked hunter x hunter, I'd also suggest yu yu hakusho. It's obviously not on this list but it's by the same mangaka and it's great

TheKraufen

Sad reality ;-;

Lupus Rose

You’ve reacted to Land of the Lustrous so you are therefore contractually obligated to watch Beastars; Dr. Stone is easily my second pick

p-o-t-k

Man, I'd love assassination classroom to get the win, but can't be mad about Dr Stone winning either

Gonzo

run with the wind reactions would be amazing, especially since you guys liked haikyuu so much

lizzy

DR.Stone or assasination classroom are both great anime

jase

Assassination classroom has been on so many polls please it win already

Xen0

I know you guys would love Dr Stone. I never would have thought I would like a science shonen, but now it’s one of my favorites

Matthew Smith

I need one fictional show that focuses on science/technology and Dr. Stone is just that show.

Olid

Kaiji would be the perfect anime for you guys to react to.

damage3245

Well, I never ever have the luck of my favorites being voted. Run With The Wind is a life lesson and being sports/slice of life, is even better than Haikyuu. Sad I will never watch a reaction from the SOS of RWTW and Banana Fish

GEISA PIRES NOGUEIRA DE LIMA

I guess it's Dr. Stone poll this time, sigh...

Minashiro Soushi

Hope assassination classroom wins!

Sand1234

Beastars surprised me and I actually ended up liking it a lot more than Dr. Stone so it has my vote

Thilde

Why? Why are you so cruel to make a try to combine Anohana WITH Plastic Memories at the same schedule?!

Vanonian

Everyone get excited for some big science! Dr Stone is ten billion percent good.

Memetic Hazard

Like both Assassination Classroom and Dr Stone but would rather see the former so I’ve taken away my vote for Dr stone.

Dastro4

Assassination Classroom will lose because two of the most popular shows of last year is here and it makes me a little sad that it has to compete with newer shows but I understand why and even tho I’m not interested in watching Dr.Stone I could probably do it if the bro’s are.

EnzioAkira

Dr Stone is ok and i enjoyed it quite a lot but i dont think it makes for a good reaction ... Beastars on the other hand...They just have to watch this show asap its just soo good and i think they would love every bit of it... and its just 12 episodes so the slot will be free relatively soon

lukas_

Really hope Dr. Stone wins

Ryan Long

Anohana is great, it's gonna have to be after Plastic Memories or something though. Not an anime that'll win a poll I don't think, but something people won't mind watching at all. I personally would love to watch it with them

JC Verse

I like Dr. Stone but I’d rather they react to Assassination classroom or Beastars. And Anohana..

Daniel Tenorio

damn i guess not every poll will be a W for me. would LOVE to see noragami but since dr stone is on there i think i know what's gonna win. but i can't complain since demon slayer just won a while back. oh well can't win them all

Roger Metheny

Eventually Run With The Wind Will Win But Today Is Not That Day

nerolisk

I havent seen it. I voted for it cause it's on the list but I still hope Dr. Stone wins

MOB12

Assassination classroom is going to fucking lose again isn’t it?

KasaiKouhai

Id rather they watch beastars

Fujishiro

Loved Dr. Stone but Beastars is the better series.

Ryan H

Dr. Stone is damn good and I just think the bros would love it. Hoping that it pulls off the W

MOB12

lets be real fellas Babylon. Its something the bros are not familiar with. And they will have fun reacting, and theorizing. Ass Class: its shonen, its heartfelt, and it got react potential Dr Stone: minecraft the anime (with mods)

RipeMango

Dr Stone is that good good

Holy

Dr. Stone and Beastars are absolute must watches, for the two of you specifically

TheHumourTumour

Dr Stone!!! First 5 episodes are not great but it gets so good later!!

yxcasual

Kaiji will never win a poll- just like the rest of his life.

Teddy Hernandez

Beastars

Mr91735

How many times has Anohana appeared on a poll now? I’ve honestly lost count. Dr. Stone and Run with the Wind are both great picks.

Canadian_Caesar

Assassination Classroom would be extremely fun, but i guess alot of people like Dr. Stone
