Haikyuu Replacement Poll!!

 We're coming up on the end of Haikyuu!! I know it's a sad thing, but eventually we'll have to move on and accept that this masterpiece of a show has ended....until-we-get-a-Season-4-announcement!! As such we'll be getting this poll done in advance so we all know what's coming next.

This poll is properly so, sports themed!!

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 Haikyuu's final episode goes public.

Jacob and I have not seen ANY of these shows, so they're all full blind reactions waiting to happen!

Thank you all so much for your continued generous support! We're having so much fun going through these shows with you incredible people!

If you don't recognize a show, check out the MyAnimeList links below:

Yuri on Ice is high key amazing though. Hajime as well.

EnderWiggin

Time to watch Ippo on his adventures :)

Gringo

They should watch Goblin Slayer

Jaime Ruiz

I agree, but that's the only one out of these shows that I've watched.

Camden Fair

Yuri on ice is overrated the rest is great

EdaGos

Omg be excited then. It's so much fun

Dedotated Wam

Gonna watch this then. Time to say hey to Ippo, again^^

Gringo

Hajime no Ippo would be fun to see a reaction of. XD One Outs is severely underrated though.

Yaana

Can't wait for the Hajime no Ippo reactions!

Waleed.

Well that's some hypocritical bullshit.

J-Black

Anything but Fanservice on Ice, please. I've heard great things about Ippo, and looks like it's landed a solid lead so I'll find out.

J-Black

Hajime no Ippo 3rd slot anyone?

Waluigi

That’s not true Wam. Ippo has over 70 episodes in just the first season. Season 2 and 3 are 25 episodes each

Rudy Strother

Hajime no Ippo is legendary

Kenji

Actually no, HnI series one is only about 50 episodes and it has an ending. Rising is only 2 cour.

Dedotated Wam

Ippo is the stuff of legend guys. The greatest underdog story in anime, better than Rocky by far. The show is heart personified.

Dedotated Wam

This show rivals haikyuu guys

lafleur786

HAJIME NO IPPO YES

lafleur786

I know!!! I wish it got more love!!

Bobbie P

As someone who has never actually watched Ippo, this is the perfect opportunity for me to give it a shot since the bros will undoubtedly start watching it now.

Canadian_Caesar

They definitely gotta watch Kaiji one day, especially knowing how much they enjoyed D'arby. But Hajime no Ippo is the peak of peaks.

Zaj

Hajime No Ipppo! OMG YES! Time to rewatch it for the 5th time.

Bijoushinh

Well, I was hinting/throwing a shade at Kuroko no Baske or Prince of Tennis kind of shows ^.^

Minashiro Soushi

If you are open to another sports show, I wish some one had suggested Ace on Diamond to you.

dale cunningham

Btw, I don't think the yaoi bait is the main problem people feel with bros reacting to kuroko. I believe that starting haikyuu, the guys were worried the sports element would be more about shounen power ups, which is exactly what kuroko does.

Lucy

I can’t provide hard evidence all I’ll say is that from my time watching it, it felt like the creators of the show knew exactly who their main demographic was and made sure to put subtle hints here and there to pander to yaoi shippers , I’ll agree in haikyu you could argue the same but nowhere near to the same extent , it kept drawing me out of the experience and made me feel uncomfortable , it’s like the show was trying to draw the line between a shounen sports anime and a yaoi show but never outright said it , at the end of the day that’s just what I personally got from the show , obviously not everyone feels the same way but it says something that I never felt that once while watching haikyu whereas in kuroku nearly every episode until I dropped it I got those vibes

Michael Brennan

now. Haha sorry for spam (dang phone)

Andres Lozano

Ippo? Might be a tall order for

Andres Lozano

Arent there loke hundreds of episodes of

Andres Lozano

I don't see how you can provide hard evidence for yaoi baiting in these types of anime, since imo it works very individually. I think you can't say kuroko and kagami are not shippable, even if you don't personally see it. It's like I for sure won't claim hinata and kageyama are not an existing ship out there even if I don't feel it that way.

Lucy

I fail to see any yaoi baiting when it comes to Kuroko and Kagami. I don’t mind if you don’t like Kuroko no Basket, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I won’t let you dismiss it as a yaoi baiting series without some hard evidence.

Canadian_Caesar

I haven’t seen Ippo, but I haven’t seen any show get as much universal praise as it does, not even Haikyuu. I just can’t see any sports show boxing out Ippo in a poll (pun intended.)

Canadian_Caesar

I like Ippo more, but honestly I think Kuroko would of had a serious shot at winning. Maybe I’m overestimating it’s popularity

Rudy Strother

Love One Outs, Ippo, and Kuroko. But all for different reasons

Rudy Strother

Completely agree. But it’s just not as popular and all these shows are just as good

Rudy Strother

Yoooooo FINALLY!!!! It looks like Ippo has a chance to shine

Rudy Strother

It has a yaoi shipping community yes but that’s outside of the show through fanpics and such whereas in kuroku the creators intentionally feed fire to the yaoi shipping especially with the main 2 characters , hey I’ve got nothing against yaoi shows to each their own but it’s just personally not my type of show

Michael Brennan

Oh, it's absolutely superb :D It was the best sports anime IMO, until i got into 2nd season of Haikyuu ^^

Anonimowy Gaal

It absolutely is But it's much more niche than the others. :(

cinna

one outs is so good tho...

Rortyry

Please vote for Ippo. It's such a fantastic anime.

bobster cumming

Oh no, Yuri on Ice is third place ... It's such an amazing and inspiring anime, I hope it gets on the poll again next time.

Cristal C

hope Diamond no Ace get in the next time

Ace101Mega

I personally think it’d be a fine replacement for Haikyuu, but to each his own.

Canadian_Caesar

I think the best description of Kuroko would be “A superpower anime put through the lens of basketball.”

Canadian_Caesar

KnB is not as much sports anime, as it is battle shounen with superpowers. Fun times, yes, but I prefer something more substantial tbh.

Minashiro Soushi

oh god one outs would be so good for them and seems like a perfect fit but unfortunately its not as popular as the others

Kobe Kenny Tran

For some reason I could never really get into kuroku, I didn’t really like the over the top abilities and the yaoi vibes , nothing against yaoi just not my type of show

Michael Brennan

Besides if a show is gonna be excluded because of yaoi stuff then why the hell is Yuri on ice included on this poll?

Canadian_Caesar

Dude Haikyuu has just as much of a Yaoi-shipping community as Kuroko, if not larger.

Canadian_Caesar

Oh man I couldn’t finish the first season , it felt like they were purposely pandering towards the female audience unlike shows like haikyu

Michael Brennan

No Yuri please. I mean, yes yuri, if yuri means lesbian. but no yuri on ice ty

tsainoah

Part of me is disappointed at the lack of Kuroko no Basuke on this list, another part of me is relieved it didn’t get put on this list because I cannot see it beating Hajime no Ippo on a poll.

Canadian_Caesar

Am I the only one who doesn’t get any yaoi vibes from Kuroko?

Canadian_Caesar

Lets go Ippo!

Sorin

So excited for Hajime no Ippo! Glad you guys put it on the list.

Pat S

Too yaoi-ish

Stew1337

No Baby Steps :(

Zeemod

Ace of diamond - best baseball show.

DanUs

Voted for One Outs, but that probably won't ever happen, it's not that popular unfortunately. But I'll finally have a motivation to get into Ippo, I've been putting it off for way too long. Honestly glad Kuroko is not on the poll, I love it but I don't think it's a show for the guys, way too many "special" abilities for a proper sports anime.

Lucy

Hopefully it’s not the show to replace the “long show” slot they have once HxH is done. I couldn’t tune out harder if it ever showed up. But I think they know enough about it and mention bad shonen tropes and cliches enough to avoid it.

Ace of Blades

We're getting into Ippo, yay! Kaiji is fun, but I'm more of an Akagi person. One outs is underrated af and will never win the polls. You're missing out, if you haven't seen it yet! sadfaceemoji Haven't seen Yuri yet, but memes are good, need to get to it sometime this year. Also, I'm glad a particular superpower battle-shounen involving balls haven't shown up in muh spokon poll.

Minashiro Soushi

Disappointed that Kuroko no Basket didn’t make the list, but I suppose that will have to wait.

Canadian_Caesar

It always works with that Sunday punch!!!

Backstaber789

Kaiji seems like an interesting premise

Coogman3

Hoping it's Kaiji, that show is amazing

zezibesh

One Outs is psychologically pretty interesting

Julian Voigt

Baby Steps? Kuroko?

Winter Chess Four

in old man voice "i thought the day wouldnt come in my lifetime"

jordan hold

As someone who makes a healthy living with betting on sports... Anime like Kaiji is right up my alley, I like it a lot. But I like One Outs even more. That being said, there is only series here I'm really looking forward to re-watch along with SoS and that is Hajime no Ippo.

Pronto (SK)

I need to get on Kaiji since i've heard its great, outside of these though since Jacob has seen and liked Chihayafuru, maybe Hikaru no go for a less orthodox Sports series

Fan Lok Tsang

I actually havent seen any of those before but ive heard much about hajime no ippo and wanted to watch it at some time guess ill watch it blind with you then :D

Yuion

ippo is such a great series

corey j soares

Haven't watched Yuri on Ice, but I approve of the other 3, but let's be honest, Ippo is winning this

StasisArbiter

Kaiji is must watch series.

Piotr Cichocki

Watched and liked all of them except Yuri on ice. Hajime no Ippo is right up your alley though and is a classic

Fro Buntu

Hajime no Ippo is a classic! Here's hoping it can maintain its lead the rest of the way!

Isaac Valenzuela

Where is Free? I never watched it but I know that animation is amazing

Mitja Strajnar

1st season of major made me cry af!

lalo

Let's go IPPO!!

lalo

Yuri on ice? For real?

normansoul

Ippo SHOULD win but anything is good that isn't Yuri On Ice

The Slayer Of Games

Glad Ippo is leading by a healthy amount. Please let it win.

Tikwah

Got to be Ippo guys!

Swaybez

Kaiji is like Jojo but with Gambling instead of Stands.

Thomas

Yuri On Ice would be a quick one! ^_^

Jaiden

I haven't seen any of these, so I voted for all 4

Woodsie89

Yuri on ice is not really that good* and definitely doesn't hold a candle to Ippo.

RussellSD

went with kaiji because i love it but Ippo is absolutely fantastic as well

matt

Finally Ippo, the length makes it all the more hype. Ippo Sunday’s heck yeah.

john

yes i really want to see a reaction for prince of tennis

DarkDragonDon

Although it’s not on this list, major and prince of tennis are also great sports anime’s to consider! Although they are pretty old hahaha. Perhaps next time~

Doofus

Yes please!

Firefan

The only reason i'm not voting for Ippo is because of the length of the series. I'd much rather see a reaction to something like Kaiji, which we would see the end of before 2020.

Bryce Nielsen

YATTA IPPO

Big Windup (baseball anime)

Breanne Mercier

I understand but it really is a good show, i think it will be fun to watch them see Ippo change. Who knows, they might open up a slot for seasonal shows only and bring some close favorites back. I do understand the feeling though😊

Captain Aryes

It's one of those shows that actually looks better in the anime, the friendship aspects and characters understanding each other is so good!

Captain Aryes

inuyashiki

Kamolak

You all have convinced me to watch: one out and kaiji; ippo though is something im looking forward to watching with everyone. Plus these two watching, I'm hyped.

Payray

Hajime no Ippo! Let's go!

Bryan Rojas

yeah big windup is so underrated just because it's a old show

Anh Phuong

OMG YES, EITHER IPPO OR YURI ON ICE (i would love to recommend Big Windup! And Baby Steps, you guys would love it👍😄💖) I can't wait for these pics✨✨✨

Captain Aryes

See's Kaiji in 2nd place. "He hates it!"

Greg Harrison

Kaiji isn't sports....

Jo

One outs is underrated kaiji and ippo are both good as well though

Akapp

Fuck yeah! Hajime No Ippo is my all time favorite anime

Drake

Hmm...I like the team sports them we had going with Haikyuu. I loved Ace of Diamond and wish it was here. I guess I'll go with One Outs then!

Darksteel78

I wouldn't pick it over Ippo or Kaiji, but it deserves a spot on the poll.

Silver Bard Games

Ippo will probably win, and it is another very long running show, sadly. It will take them more than an entire year to complete. They already have like 3 long shows currently running. I truely hope it doesn't win

Coen

I prefer Ace of Diamond personally, but it's sad seeing it get crushed like this :(

Alejandro Gil

I'm so sad that One Outs is so underrated... :(

SmilePlease

Kaiji is a good show, but it’s a little weird to see on this list...it doesn’t fit the “sports” theme.

Ashley Saari

Ye I noticed after I wrote my comment. I thought they were doing something different,cause they are already watching ping pong. Didnt expect another sport anime.

Katarina Kurko

Have they decided what to do after HxH? I really want to see them react to Parasyte Maxim

BennLimos

This list seems pretty sporty replacing a sports show.

Resto

I knew this day would come but I didn't want to believe :( Really want them just to react to the Yuri on Ice OP haha

Resto

Hajime no Ippo 😍 My best Sport Anime with Eyeshield 21 ^^

Omg i love both ippo and kaiji. Would love kaiji to win but ippo is the popular option. If kaiji doesnt win this, I hope it appears on another poll soon because its too good to pass on.

Yasmeen

Don't like any of these. I don't think I am voting in this one. Edit: Wait HOW LONG IS HAJIME NO IPPO? Holy crap

Alejandro Gil

Just going to put it out here in case another sports theme poll eventually comes out in the future. Add Slam Dunk in the list.

Erd'na

They shouldve put run with the wind here

jose carpio

No Daiya no Ace nor Ookiku Furikabutte? Feelsbadman

Maraa Ramirez

how is one outs so unvoted? its so good

Stoic

FUCK YES HAJIME NO IPPO HERE WE COME!!

SAL

Hoping for Ace no Diamond but it works, I guess

yukiyaya

OH FUCK YES gimme that Ippo boys

Nina

I really want to see you guys watch all of Keijo at some point XD Look, I know it's ridiculous and very fan service-y, but I know you guys would be thoroughly entertained from all the jokes and wackiness the show has to offer. Plus it's very short, so you guys would breeze right through it!

Datz Canny

Easiest poll decision ever! Hajime no Ippo, cuz it's an important anime to me!

Wompwomp

I can’t wait for Ippo to win! Older anime ftw

Cody Enos

Let’s go Ippo!

GenericSideCharacter

Yuri on Ice ('cause the OP) or Hajime no Ippo (love that show).

JManuelRM

I know this is the sports anime slot, but I was just wondering. I know at least Jacob's seen Baccano, have they already watched Durarara as well?

Wesley Deeg

I am fine with either of the 2 top spots. Kaiji and Ippo.

Spikà

Yuri is so sweet and wholesome and short i say squeeze that in there! Or just rewatch Haikyuu that works 😂😂 aww gonna miss the volleybois on your channel! Is Ippo the one that's a bit all over the place? Like some series are on crunchyroll and some aren't or something? I'll have to see.

Jess5_11

Having to choose between Ippo, Kaiji and One outs is so hard! I want them all to win QQ.

Kure

Cross Game for next poll. Best baseball animre

Travis DeZarn

Ippo is great for character development and has a better entourage, Kaiji is great for pyschological warfare and more unique encounters

redha elkurdi

Ippo is probably gonna win, kaiji will get 2nd place and yuri will finish 3rd. So sad for One Outs its so good but few people are giving it a chance.

Darwin Clemente

What about Yowamushi Pedal?

Julius

I wish kaiji would win but i heard a lot of good things about hajime no ippo and I'm glad that kaiji was on here at all hope it wins next time

Hailey Newman

Ippo is a really great show. It's has a suprising amount of amazing character building. The only sports anime I like as much as Haikyuu

Julius Nelson

Hajime NO IPpo is so good!! I love KAIji as well

redha elkurdi

yu yu hakusho is shorter than Ippo lol

KaedenKing

dont get me wrong i love animes you do with one guy seen it, but its really nice to see only shows blind :)

Tserriednich

I think Kaiji would suit their discussions most. I know Hajime is popular but come on, the mental strain of Kaiji is glorious

Victor Vilela

Isn't hajime no ippo really long? I hope it doesn't win.

Ghoul

So? Are there categories in their reaction list? So one category is sport anime,second is cooking(example) etc ..

Katarina Kurko

Aww why Ace of Diamond isn't there? T.T You guys are seriously missing out on amazing sports/shonen anime that's just as good as Haikyuu(

akinohana

Noragami to replace the sports anime slot huh?...

Sorin

Can't believe I've lived to see this day. The end of an era :')

Wait a second. These are All fantastic! I can’t choose!

Rare

Same

Xeltos

Kuroko no Basuke (I was sure it was going to be here) would've been great for the SAKUGA and characters. Pretty much the only replacement i would've voted for. Also Ace of Diamond, but that's a long one. :P Guess I'm voting for all of them since it doesn't matter. lol

Xeltos

Heck yeah I like the odds of Ippo

Issac A Botello

baby steps would've been good for a sports themed poll maybe next time

Not sure how much you've heard about it, but like My Hero Acdemia, it has a pretty good cast of fun and interesting students. Also, since you're watching Your Lie in April, have you guys heard of Hibike Euphonium?

Blasian62

Also I'm glad you guys are still willing to do long shows. Would you ever consider putting Gintama in a poll?

Colin

hajime no ippo is longer.

Marselino Esparza

Me too :( or at least ace of diamond

Diana mccall

I hope yuri on ice wins it’s only 12 episodes lol

Diana mccall

No Kuroko's Basketball? I was really hoping that'd be an option to replace Haikyuu.

Yaneesh Jerath

So glad you guys put Ippo in there, it's too bad it will probably never be fully adapted in anime form. Even so, vote for Ippo! One Outs is great too but I think too few people know about it for it to win.

Colin

PLS PLS WHERE’S ACE OF DIAMOND?? and what about knb? 😢😢😢

Diana mccall

I hope Kaiji gets into another poll because I don't see how it can beat Ippo.

Imaginary Turtle

Ya, I was sure that would be the most suitable replacement for haikyu

Stu

It's a sports themed poll lol.

KaedenKing

Sorry this is how we wanted it, Haikyuu can't truly be replaced.

Semblance of Sanity

Yuri on ice ? Really? When is Noragami going to be on the list..:/

Katarina Kurko

I've waited so long for Kaiji!

Skyler Gunn

KAIJI KUN LETS GOOOO D:

Gagurum

Way too few choices guys. Make a bigger poll please

Ghoul

It's too long for a poll atm

Semblance of Sanity

LOVE Mob Psycho, and no we haven't seen AC yet.

Semblance of Sanity

I’m waiting for the poll with Kuroko no Basket.

Juliane Ivanow

Oh shit Ippo! Lets get it!

TheHumourTumour

Have you guys watched Mob Psycho 100 or Assassination Classroom?

Blasian62

Whens yu yu hakusho?
