$8k Milestone Show Slot Poll!! (Old-School Themed)

WHOA!! Here we are again, in just under a month!! You all have blown us away by your incredible generosity and support! We cannot thank you all enough!

We are doing something very different this time around! As you can see there are ONLY FIVE shows, and they are all from an era past :).

Vote for ANY AND ALL that you would like to see. Whichever gets the most votes we will start reacting to on the 25th.
If your voted show didn't win, we still look at what got second and third place for current show slot replacements. 

Jacob HAS seen Berserk (1997) by the way.

If you don't recognize these shows, we recommend checking them out through the MAL links below.

i still think this is going to be great :3 one will have the reaction of watching a show for the first time the other will provide reactions of someone watching his friend get hyped pissed sad and so on about things he already knew :3 i like that kind of thing

frederik wøhliche

But if everyone had this mindset Berserk would never win. I think it's better to let them watch it now.

someone_good

@Kaole Tsutako Of course I don't think that, I dunno where you came to that conclusion. My point is that I'd rather have them both react to something they haven't seen. But if its not that fresh in Jacob's mind then its good.

Xeltos

@Xeltos Why not now, and something else down the road? Do you think that the situation of Jacob having seen it and Caleb not will have changed at a later date? If you think any of these options are going to be forever off-limits just because they didn't win this time, then that really doesn't seem very logical.

Kaole Tsutako

Nope!

Ryan H

Well, Caleb's reaction at least. Jacob has already seen the show, so it's probably questionable how much reaction and genuine discussion he can do.

Ex

I need their berserk reaction in my life

BERSERK BERSERK BERSERK!!!!

I love GTO but my love for BERSERKU!!! is greater!!

Well yeah, but why now and not down the road? I would rather have something neither have seen. But it also depends on when Jacob has seen it too though.

Xeltos

Because Caleb hasn't, and we'd like to see them react to it.

Kaole Tsutako

Why have Berserk (now) when Jacob has already seen it? C'mon guys vote for othersss. lol

Xeltos

Time

antonio

Why no? What is there to lose?

Khaos

No.

Princess Paladin

DRAW PLZ! MAKE A DRAW!

Khaos

there was some error as I was casting more votes the berserk vote count went down -1 and when i took all my votes & voted berserk again it stayed the same

Tony

btw it has to be a draw now :o

Drust66

Can we do another poll with bersek and gto if it is at 1% difference?

sacombankmonkey

For those of you who don't want Berserk or GTO, since one of them will win. GTO will take 43 weeks to watch and Berserk will take 25 weeks to watch.

Giancarlo Hamlin

Holy shit this is way too close!

someone_good

BERZERKUUU!

Ryan H

Fair point, and I am chill. U chill :p But Minashiru, pls notice how I was writ8ng solely about the series listed, not whether they seen them or not. I havent even kńown that deail, thus u r unfairy bringing external arguments into the conversation. That being said, I agree after u told me.

Michał Zienkiewicz

Yes, there is, because Jacob already seen Berserk and there's quite a number of people here, who aren't fans of such reactions. For me, personally, it goes down a lot, because there's little discussion to be had, when only one person can actually discuss stuff, without knowing what's comming next.

Minashiro Soushi

chill

zeid c

Guys, THERE S NO COMPETITION THIS TIME. no other show on d list comes close imho

Michał Zienkiewicz

BERSERK BERSERK BERSERK

Michał Zienkiewicz

same

iArcade

GTO BOYZ

AardBard

I am so happy to see an anime like Ouran Highschool Host Club on here! It’s my favorite shoujo! And yeah, it kinda has the girly shoujo troupes... but it’s hilarious and just so fun to watch.

Lil Bit

Come on guys, Berserk better win this one!

someone_good

GTO! Jacob already watched Berserk so it loses by default in my eyes.

MrCinos

Honestly, I think Paranoia Agent would be the best fit for you guys' sensibilities. A lot to analyze there, even if some of the themes don't become clear immediately.

Chipperpip

"Ergo Proxy" would be fantastic

Execuse

FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR

Wil Reiser

I am hoping for Hajime no Ippo but that can wait until after Haikyuu i guess

Fan Lok Tsang

And third place after that.

Princess Paladin

If only Golden Boy was on this list. Especially since it is only 6 episodes long. Oh well, maybe sometime in the future.

Justin Burrous

Happy to see Ouran on here as it was my first anime, however, I think you guys would get a really great experience out of Paranoia Agent too. I personally was not a fan of Welcome to the NHK , but I can see why people like it. In he future if you do watch Ouran I would HIGHLY recommend that you watch the English dub as the Japanese dub is just no where near as good as a performance and just does not bring the characters as to life as I felt the English cast did.

mangoShores

They are writers of course they know what theyre talking bout :D

zeid c

I really hope 0uran Highschool Host Club wins because I love it. It's 1 of the best comedy/drama anime in my opinion. However if it does win I strongly suggest you watch the English version. It has a great cast of voice actors that I love. I think you guys would really enjoy it.

Supermonaman

No bad choices on this poll (though I suspect GTO may not have aged as well as the others), but Paranoia Agent is clearly the best show on this list.

Silver Bard Games

I see no love for paranoia agent here, but I can always hope in the future.

Michael

Damn, i hope Berserk finally wins!

Anonimowy Gaal

After having just watched it, I think it's definitely discussion worthy. But there is a span of 2-3 episodes where it could have done SO much more for itself

Ezutess

Welcome to NHK pls

Kamolak

NHK is an interesting show to react to. Rooting for it

Greg Harrison

Paranoia Agent is a really neat show, guess not as many people heard of it? But the compitition is also real good too so I can't be mad.

Zeemod

soon....

Bijoushinh

Ah, well I can wait :) maybe XD

Clare

Was hoping to see Shokugeki no Soma, but I guess that'll just have to wait. Go Guts!!

Canadian_Caesar

I'm hoping Netflix takes Devilman Crybaby to heart and allows some creators to go to town on Berserk.

cinna

HXH won't be out for another 45mins.

Vern

When your checking every second to see if there is hunter x hunter you know your s little obsessed xD

Clare

Ya but the same thing could be said about GTO.

Ryan H

Let's go Berserku!

Ryan H

And lets be honest, the anime is still not nearly as good as it could have been considering the source material.

Erik

Once.

Ex

Berserk is great, BUT one of the bros has seen it already.

cinna

It's right below the poll, next to the total votes count. At the moment closes in 6 days.

Eisen

In 6 days

Nyto Dork

GTO and berserk it's a hard decision I know the anime doesn't compare to the manga but I think everyone needs to at least experience berserk for what we have of it (gonna love and watch whatever gets picked anyway:)

yungblood

Just to clarify, when will the poll "close"? If reactions start on the 25th does voting go all the way till then or does it stop at some earlier point. Thanks!

Daniel Chapman

Please vote for Ouran High School Host Club! It's an amazing anime with extremely quirky and fun characters!

Johanna Gustavsson

Nice poll!

Ezutess

I wish Yu Yu Hakusho was on this list :'(

My favorite poll by a long shot. God it's nice to see such balance.

Nyto Dork

Waiting for a cooking show slot🤣

Ryan H

I would have voted for Berserk but since Jacob has seen it, The Great Teach Onizuka it is! It’s always better when they are both blind imo

Rudy Strother

GOD DAMN IT

Tlee

PARANOIA AGENT

Tlee

NOOO

Tlee

only read the manga of berserk and been putting the anime off for quite some time, maybe this time it will happen lul

fitcessx

Berserk!!!!!!!

Ryan H

Wow I did not expect to see welcome to the NHK here! Even if Jacob and Caleb are nerds they seem fairly socially adjusted. It’ll be interesting to see how they react to the show if they see it.

Oscar H

Jacob has already seen Berserk, but a complete blind reaction doesn't matter as much to some people I guess. 😅 Well, I'll pick some of the other good stuff on this poll.

Lazy_Scorpio

I am really hoping for Berserk, even though you would do yourselves a disservice by not reading the manga, it is a masterpiece.

DangerZone

Welcome to the NHK or Paranoia agent.

Roma

One piece came out just a short 2 years after Berserk. I'd call that old. school. An episode a day and you'd be done in no time.

SuperTallBird

Considering I haven't seen any of these - I'm excited to see what wins and hope I love it as much I do HunterxHunter :)

Tammi M

Come on guys, why so great shows! Can we just get Berserk overwith, how many times has it gotten second place?!

Newstateofmind

I really the variety choice that you guys are doing for your poll. Keep it up :)

sacombankmonkey

I'm hoping for GTO. I haven't seen that masterpiece in ages so it would be a good opportunity to rewatch it as well.

SmilePlease

Really good options here, I would be happy with any of these lol

Table

Aww man, was actually looking forward to Land of the Lustrous (until next poll I guess lol). Hoping that NHK wins though! :D

fatiqsue

Yeahh, Glad that you are getting so much support, you truly deserve it, many people do reactions, but very few actually do discussion and analysis and even fewer know what they are talking about when they speak about narrative, editing, scripting and such, thank you for the good content :)

Luis Alfredo

Excited to see what wins! They all sound exciting!!

Semblance of Sanity

Great!!!! :) Welcome to the NHK and Paranoia Agents are masterpieces guys I am sure you are going to love them

Luis Alfredo

OURAN! OURAN! OURAN!

Janice Marie

Believe :D!

Semblance of Sanity

Yeah it's awesome! We're going to be doing more themed polls in the future if this works out well!

Semblance of Sanity

Come onnnn, Guts! You can do it this time! I believe in you!

Princess Paladin

Wow, this is ridiculously close so far.

SmilePlease

Glad to hear it! Thanks Travis!

Semblance of Sanity

Literally had my question about this answered in the last podcast video and now this happens, you guys are awesome!
