Parasyte The Maxim Replacement Poll

guys, if you were ever considering old but high quality anime, try EVA!

StreetFighterII

Please let Galactic Heros win. And if it does, please watch the new adaptation Die Neue These. I know this series is a condensed version of the original; minor details are skipped; but the animation is better, and being condensed mean the there will be more content for the bros to talk about every ep. If there is anyone on discord chat that agrees with me, please pass this word to them. Thanks.

Ixiataaga

long live the FPA

Cunning Linguist

Revolutionary Girl Utena! Everyone needs to see this anime.

Book_Lover

I'd say Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. Not big on romance, most of them are trash. Now & Then, Here & There, NHK, HxH, and Bacanno had some of my favorite romance, but they're hardly about romance.

TheBagSenpai

You're welcome :]

Lord Snail the Slimy

It's a useless reminder. Just be thankful that they're reacting to it now and let it be that.

TheBagSenpai

to the 560 thank you

yang_wenli

> Clannad > casual garbage Oooouf, ooouf, that's quite a hot take right there. Can I have an example of a “not garbage” romance show? Or the main contention is with “casual” side?

Minashiro Soushi

RGU with lowest count..... ;((

circumambient

OMG. It looks like LOGH is going to win. *_*

Zoidze

please please Ouran High School, its fantastic and there are only like two or three reactions out to it. Its comedy gold and got some nice in depth tones to it as well. I recently watched it and thought I'd hate it but I ended up really enjoying it.

Clare

Nick, I'm fine either way, just wanted to remind people, that's all. The only two series I didn't watch with bros are Dororo (barely managed to get through it on my own) and Hataraku Maou-sama (turned out to be waaaay worse, than I remembered it).

Minashiro Soushi

look at it from a different perspective friends this means 2+ years of the highest quality content to ever grace their channel

Cunning Linguist

Ideally, it would be great if Bros watched something shorter like Lain or Utena first, and then moved on to 2,5 years of LotGH...

Lord Snail the Slimy

Ippo... I kinda understand, but Jojos? Come on!

Minashiro Soushi

I want a nomination for The dragon prince

ivanosky1253 .

@Minashiro Soushi They react to Ippo and Jojo once a week, and both are over 100 episodes. It is what it is, deal with it.

R_K41

Why no Initial D? It's a classic as well

Rustle My Jimmies

agreed

RussellSD

highschool dxd if ur real men of culture

DIO

It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just 47 episodes (nearly a year) of a show that’s half blind, which in experiences tends to sometimes really kill the discussions

GooeyEngineer

Please enlighten us what you consider “casual garbage”

GooeyEngineer

It’s because it’s half blind AND that length that have most not as interested in a reaction

GooeyEngineer

At least from what people are saying on the discord, they can’t get behind a show that long that’s only half blind, regardless how good they think it is

GooeyEngineer

Clannad isn't too bad for length and I would like a reason to revisit that series <3

RussellSD

At least for me, it’s because it’s the most reasonably lengthed show

GooeyEngineer

Because it’s half blind, and that’s a LOT of episodes that are half blind

GooeyEngineer

We should have Macross in the next poll xD

Ben.jajaja

@Benjamin Embree Could not agree more, I drop every HxH reaction at the chimera ant arc cause it simply goes for too long. Some people don't have time to rewatch long shows, even if they are great

RandomThorn

I will try to watch it, but I struggle enough watching Ippo and their only halfway. And I dropped HxH at the chimera arc (same thing probably going to happen with blind wave, that arc is so stretched out) I honestly don't care how good your show is, watching it at a rate of 22 min every week for over 2 years is torture

RandomThorn

I feel like long shows like that need at least double episode reactions, 2 years+ to finish reacting to hunterxhunter isn't fun to keep up with if you have already seen the entire show. assume it's gonna be the same with this.

RussellSD

Hey young man, now you've gone too far.

TheBagSenpai

ok boomer

Bubi Reactions

^^^^^^^^ Hard seconded

BeastialMoon

I know right ;-; It's such an incredible show. Both Utena and Lain would be right up the brothers alley.

BeastialMoon

asobi asobase you won't regret it

Majestic Magenta

Eh? HxH was twice a week though... If this was the same or if bros would watch 2 eps back to back, I'd be up for it. But not like this :'(

Minashiro Soushi

The real crime on this poll is that Utena is coming last. T_T

cinna

Nuuu how is Clannad losing

Ghastly Yōkai

11/10 think you'd enjoy LOGH despite it's length.

Lizard Shampoo

We endured that type of schedule for HxH, we can do the same of Lotgh. Better than nothing.

TheBagSenpai

I love HxH & JoJo, I love Vinland too. But according to you guys, I'm the poster boy for anti-mainstream. Just stop. Garbage is garbage, regardless of whether or not it's popular.

TheBagSenpai

So be it...

asdy

I haven't watched LOGTH, so I'm not going to judge it yet. That being said, another super long show is something I wished wasn't coming. Maybe it is just a me thing, but no matter the show, I can never keep up with reactions if it goes 60+ episodes. I think the longest series I have finished your reactions is Haikyuu, exactly 60 eps.

RandomThorn

Clannad

Adrian Ruiz

Clannad

Adrian Ruiz

I didn't realise SoS fan base had that many females in it host club got pretty high up.

RussellSD

LOTGH !

R_K41

I wish to remind all of the LogH fans, that 110 weeks is exactly 25 Months, 1 Week and 2 Days or 2 Years, 1 Month and 1 Week with a change. Watching this epic show once a week is a form of inhumane torture and goes against the Geneva convention.

Minashiro Soushi

@Skorpan: Yeah, sure, but... 25 months is a bit much.

Minashiro Soushi

I like HxH, I didn't like watching the reactions. I like Hajime no Ippo, I don't like watching the reactions. I've never seen LotGH I hear great things about it but I don't want 1 episode a week of a long running series.

CasualOtaku

Why? LotGH is amazing and I've never seen anyone else react to it. It's gonna be great.

Skorpan

You are basically the perfect anti mainstreamer. The mainstreamer will follow the stream The anti mainstreamer swims always exactly against it What both have in common: They are slaves to the stream

Yuion

I heard much about galactic heros but never got myself to watch So im looking forward to the first watch with you guys

Yuion

Man I really don't want LotGH to win. I don't want another long running show taking up a slot.

CasualOtaku

Revolutionary girl utena isn’t going to win but please bros please put it on some other polls in the future. Maybe it’ll win one day. It’s one of my fave animes and I’d love to see your discussions for it.

Aya

Another slot that'll be filled for the next 2-3 years or so...

Irimu

*screams to the heavens* UTENNNAAAAAA

pompoms

I’m relieved knowing Legend of the Galactic Heroes is first place

Blu3rice

glad? im currently unsubbing, dont wanna see dat shit on my inbox

k.lam

Not that I'm a fan of everything they've watched, but this is hella pretentious. Popular shows can be good as well, NHK and Paranoia arent like, the cutoff.

RedBoi

Kimetsu no Yaiba edit: well nvm didn't saw last poll glad you'll react to it

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

hell yes

yang_wenli

I would love for more people to experience Ouran!!! The manga is so much deeper than I would expect from a shojo series

Sagacious Lass

OMG this is it xD

OutsideBoxer

Omg I desperately want Utena but it's so far behind...

Firelightmystic

If possible, SOS Bros should do 2 episode per week for shows that are 60+ episode long. Because, event if I like their reaction to shows, it would be cool if a serie does not take like 2 and a half year in a spot. Like Hunter x Hunter. They did 2/week and it was very well. I hope they're going to do this for this one if it's LOtGH.

ranelli38

I want Lain to win so incredibly bad.

Ethan Judy

Scratch Clannad / Ouran. Any one of those other 3 will do. Finally though. You're doing more good shows lately. Broadening your horizons. NHK / Paranoia was a good start. Far too much casual ass garbage shows you've been reacting to over the years.

TheBagSenpai

and you don't seem to understand 🎵

Kopplex

If the bros do end up watching LOTGH can the moderators tell them to watch the movie as its a better intro to the series than the first few episodes. Thx

Nadeem Shaikh

well I've only seen the first three episodes so far. I enjoyed them and I definitely plan on watching more and I do think it would be cool to see the Bros react and discuss about it, it's just Utena is possibly my all time favorite anime for various reasons so of course I'd prefer that over an anime I haven't truly dove into yet.

Marika Pauley

This is kind of a crazy selection, though. I would like Bros to see most (if not all) of these, honestly.

Lord Snail the Slimy

If LOGH wins, I will have to remain a patron for over 2 years, no matter what happens

Zoidze

I can't beleive LotGH is currently winning, lmao I fully expected to see Clannad in first place when I went to vote here, since it seemed like the most popular show here Maybe Ouran, too But anyway I actually haven't finished it myself, and with the weekly schedule, I reckon it would not only take a million years for Bros to finish it, but would also be difficult for them to keep up with (due to sheer amout of characters and things happening)... But I'm still going to vote for LotGH. It's a wonderfully written series, it's very different to most anime coming out today, and I *would* want to finish watching it, so doing it together with Bros seems like it'd be fun? Maybe. But yeah, 2,5 years to finish. Oh my. I don't even know if I'll be alive in 2 years, and they'd still be watching it. That's why I'm going to vote for Series Experiments Lain, as well. What a mindblowing experience that one is, I love it. Much, much shorter, too.

Lord Snail the Slimy

As someone who personally feels LoGH is kind of overrated I'm not looking forward to the prospect of having that slot occupied for 2 years T_T Seems like Ouran Host Club is still somewhat in the running, hope it can make a comeback. If we're talking theories and analysis I'd be far more interested on hearing your thoughts on Lain and Utena, and in terms of emotional payoff and reactions Clannad and OHSHS are fun shows for us to watch with you guys.

Marcus Bae

RIP Utena's chances in this poll. It's a top 3 anime for me. Ah well LOGH is pretty good too.

Carlos Arroyo

I second the suggestion. Keeping track of plot threads in your mind for two years isn't the optimal way to watch this show. I think anyone interested is better off marathoning it themselves, so you can focus more on enjoying the bros' reaction. When you get into this show, waiting is painful. I'm watching the remake as it airs now, and every episode makes me want to whip out the original to keep going right away. XD

Shadowcam

bout time to get on the train LOTGH isn't known as the greatest anime ever made for nothing

Cunning Linguist

Utena is great, Ikuhara is good....but I would be lying to myself if I didn't believe that LOTGH is numerous tiers above

Cunning Linguist

Clannad would be a great reaction series. LTGH is great, but man...

Ionicawa

only someone who hasn't watched LOGH would say this

Cunning Linguist

I was no joke going to suggest LotGH at the next opportunity! It is EXACTLY the kind of show you'd enjoy with your style of analysis. Hope it wins!

HeatherlessBiped

greatest anime of all time actually winning the poll, is this the real life?

Cunning Linguist

Can't believe that Clannad is losing even to Ouran.. as it is my life best anime, i just want to doubt the reality.

Jin Ahn

I’ve been really interested in trying LOTGH but have been intimidated by the length. If it wins that’ll be the push I need.

Rudy Strother

TwT I just join to vote for Ouran, I love Utena and Lain tho

Maya Chan

Looks like LotGH is gonna win this one, but I'm stoked to see such high votes for Serial Experiments Lain.

EgoLayer13

I understand that Utena is going to lose this time, it was just up against some unfortunate competition but hopefully it can get another chance on the next poll because I would LOVE to see them watch it.

Marika Pauley

Legend of the Galactic Heroes!

Arkane

LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH LOTGH

yang_wenli

LOTGH PLEASE

Jules Eris

Always time for more people to be introduced to LotGH

Alec Ratulowski

That's fair, thinking about it, it would take two years for them to complete the show. That is an enormous amount of waiting. It sucks that they said they wouldn't ever do double episodes for a show again. It's understandable, but sucks for these longer shows.

Kirathian

LOTGH! It’s gonna be amazing. be ready for so many great discussions

Darwin Clemente

I'm sure galactic heroes is a great show but damn it's long. I guess I'll have to start watching it if it wins though.

Marker

I always refused to watch long anime, but this year I buckled down and watched both LotGH and Hunter x Hunter, and it was definitely worth it, I can't recommend the show enough

Harvee

Clannad actually has 47 episodes, if you include After Story

Harvee

I doubt they'll ever do that, especially considering they've already made it through all of Hunter x Hunter and gotten to Part 5 of Jojo this way

Harvee

Oh man ouran would be awesome

Vocaloider97

Honestly, you're better off watching it on your own. Once you get hooked, you won't be able to stand one episode a week

Harvee

LotGH isn't bad but Utena gang for life!

Marika Pauley

Agreed, I feel for longer shows twice a week instead of once would massively improve both their experience and make us less exasperated.

Quartz_GunGrave

I KNOW

Quartz_GunGrave

Chihayafuru please, you guys would love it seriously

RandomThorn

Clannad(include After Story): 47eps Legend of the Galactic Heroes: 110eps Ouran High School Host Club: 26eps Revolutionary Girl Utena: 39eps Serial Experiments Lain: 13eps via MyAnimeList

MuuMoo

LoGH and Clannad nani. I'd love to see reactions to both but especially want to see u cry from clannad :^)

Alba Zawa

I would love to see them react to Galactic Heroes... but I am a little less excited about the prospect of it taking 2 years for them to do so. I may be in the minority, but I would actually like to see the number of shows they react to be condensed and more focused. That would improve the viewing experience for all shows; but particularly for the longer series like this one.

John Galt

I remember when I was a teenager being so captivated by Duvet's sorta funky bassline. I love Lain's OP so much. I hope Lain gets picked as Jacob's Tuesday show or something down the line. IT NEED'S A REACTION.

Kirathian

>Utena coming last DAMMIT

Alex Johns

True, true. Which is another reason they need to see it! I hope in Dub too. Vic's... unsettling behavior aside, it was some of his best work and the dub is just iconic overall. But it seems LOTGH is going to win and since I've never seen that, and it's also an anime classic, I'll be content to watch it alongside them since I have way too many other things on my plate to watch it completely on my own.

Imani Brooks

I've always wanted to watch Legends of The Galactic Heroes due to the overwhelming love it gets but could never find the time. This would certainly get me to watch it finally lol.

Kirathian

Clannad is such a powerful experience of a show!

Godzillafan56

I want to vote Legends, but they really NEED to see Ouran. I honestly can't believe that haven't seen it yet.

Irenesharda

LEGENDS

Víctor Colina

Like they said, many of these are classic series that have been anime fan staples for years. It really depends on what kind of series you like. Clannad is romance, Ouran is a romantic comedy, Legend is space opera, Serial Lain is psychological, and Utena is fantasy.

Irenesharda

Also I feel like LotGH is gonna not go well overall - it's a slow burn so they'll likely lose plot threads going week to week

Defuna

Voted Lain just because of the opening song.

Omar

Lol, that's pretty much because Ouran was a staple series for many an anime fan back in the days before even Youtube became popular and reactions were even a thing. By the time reactions got popular, every anime fan worth their salt had already seen OHSHC.

Irenesharda

Legend of galactic heros

Bob Dylan

LEGEND OF GALACTIC HEROES

Then vote Clannad 👀

Clannad pls

HOREE SHITTO. Some good choices on this poll.

That's normal for these polls.

Rip Utena debuting on a poll like this - whelp I'll go down with that ship

Ouran Highschool Host Club! I have only see ONE reactor do this and I would LOVE to see the Bros do it too!

Imani Brooks

CLANNAD PLEASE

Swaybez

I only know Ouran and Clannad 🤣 so I guess I’ll vote for that

xperax

I need Logh

Madani

Host club, host club!

TheMommyCthulhu

Lets all love lain!

Connor Brown

LoGH will probably be enjoyed immensely by you guys, so it has my vote.

Nina Bowers

Seeing some Ikuhara on here makes me happy ~ ♥ I guess my vote will go to Utena and Galactic Heroes.

amiamalie

It's time for Legend of the Galactic Heroes to rise up.

cinna

same, i’ve heard it’s amazing but watching long anime has become a chore for me tbh

Kyle

i think theres something wrong with the poll i can vite for more than 1 lol

Reuben Swift

While all of these are /very good/, Utena stands atop all of them. It's known as the Evangelion of Shoujo for a reason, and is maybe my second favorite series of anything of all time. It deserves every accolade and reaction it can get. Not only that, the discussions based around the episodes, especially as they go farther in??? Oh, my gooood I can only imagine how good they'll be!!

BeastialMoon

Literally the only one I've seen is Ouran guess I know what I'm voting for.

Ellory Belle

As much as I love Clannad and it's my favorite anime of all time, I have to put my vote in for LotGH. There's just nothing else like it.

Just Another Josh

LotGH and Utena, what a great poll omg

DrWomanRespecter

Clannad please!!! If you want Caleb tears then Clannad!!

Swaybez

LotGH is great

SilentAvenger62

I hope LotGH wins. I'm sure as hell never going to start on my own. Might as well start watching with the Bros.

LaconicKibitz

Lotgh always loses

Fuaad Mohamoud

Clannad or Lain??? Oh my god

Dvrth

LotGH! Come on, they need to get started on this already if they're going to finish before doomsday.

Shadowcam

Voting for Ouran since it’s been a hot minute since ive rewatched that gem

Cleo Leef

Haven't seen any of these woops
