it ended

Kyle

Can you add Devilman Crybaby please ? :)

Alexis

It doesn't matter to me which Monster version you do. I give a bit of leeway on dubs to anime adaptations that have Western characters as the main focus and they're supposed to be speaking English anyway. That's why I actually prefer the dubbed versions of some shows like FMA or Baccano (if you haven't seen Baccano, that should definitely be considered for your next poll!). Monster is in that kind of space, so whichever you guys choose is fine with me.

Irenesharda

I really, really, REALLY hope you will be doing the sub version of Monster, guys, but regardless of that, I'm the happiest I've been in a long while, now that I know that Monster is coming!

Lord Snail the Slimy

I'm just going to leave this here "And I saw a Beast rising out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And upon his horns 10 crowns, and upon his heads the names of blasphemy." "And they worshipped the Dragon who gave power unto the Beast. And they worshipped the Beast saying, who is like unto the Beast? Who is able to make war with it?" Revelations 13:1&4

Fan Lok Tsang

I love monster! And I personally prefer the sub rather than the dub.

Shawn

Ohh since you love HxH (see you under every video :P) you should love the incredible writing in Monster. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it.

Bastian Sollinger

Fuck yeah Monster, people who know me from Junkputty/other channels already know me as Monster fanboy so I'm super stoked for it to win. I also recommend the dub instead of sub, all the german towns and names in japanese will be the death of me^^

Bastian Sollinger

Somehow Monster is still in the lead... holy shit! Well, I know that I'll be in the minority here, but I would recommend you watching this show with subs. For some reason English dub changes the soundtrack, and while people say that it doesn't really affect their first viewing, you will still be missing out on music compositions that add more to the atmosphere. Most importantly though, voiceacting for some of the female and child characters is very underwhelming in comparison to the original.

Lord Snail the Slimy

We need some Assassination Classroom up in here. Lol

Lil Bit

Monster is a show that I watch dubbed, since the series is set in 1980-90s Germany with many of the characters being of European descent with the only japanese character being the MC. It makes more sense to see the characters speak in English (at least to me since i dont understand German). Also the Dub is really good

Fan Lok Tsang

question: if Berserk ends up wining, will you be watching it sub or dub? the dub is really good, and watching it that way let's you see the amazing bloopers.

Frederick Jaskowski

so happy seeing monstrer winning that poll. that anime deserve more love

Simo

Wow, good for me I guess. I loved Youjo Senki and I dropped Monster after the first episode because I couldn't commit to it since I didn't have enough time. (I still want to watch it someday) So I vote for both. I win either way and watching Monster blind alongside you guys for the first time should be fun.

SmilePlease

I'm pretty sure that both of them have seen both of those.

Irenesharda

Wish Parasyte or Akame ga Kill! was on the list :(

Please Add, Parasyte the Maxim!! An Incredibly Masterfull Anime that doesn't get enough respect and the First ever piece of Media to ever make me truly cry and question my morals! Honestly Please Watch it! Heart this if you agree so the guys can see!

Djibril Ramsey

I hope that Monster can keep it up, but it's gonna stay close till the end. Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju being on the List and getting a good amount of Votes makes me happy. The second Season of Rakugo is tied for my number 1 AOTY with the currently airing season 2 of March comes in like a Lion. I'd highly recommend March comes in like a Lion, even though I know it's not a show I could ever see winning one of these Polls, but I just have to. The Manga is highly decorated and Shaft has done an acceptional job with the adaptation. The crazy amount of diffrent and unique art stlyes seemingly every episode, the superb direction, the soothing and tranquil OST, the loveable/despicable and almost always relatable characters with layers and layers of depth behind them and so many other incredible facttes this shows has to offer. Happy Holidays and Happy new Year to everyone and here is to another great Year of Semblance of Sanity in 2018 :)

C'mon, Youjo Senki!

Marek Siciński

Man, I know Jacob has already seen Little Witch Academia, but I'd love to see Caleb's reaction to it, plus Jacob geeking out.

id recommend for you guys to add BOKU DAKE GA INAI MACHI and REZERO in the next poll. Even just check out the synopsis

rain

WHERE IS YOUR LIE IN APRIL... ?

Alexis

naaaaah english dubs are kinda bad.

I love Berserk to death but Jacob has already seen it :(, so I hope Monster wins! and please do the dub guys.

Ah, Rakugo. What a masterpiece

Maraa Ramirez

Even though it is probably not going to happen I would absolutely love having an extra slot of jojos. Not just because I love the show and you’re reactions too it, but because so few other people are reacting to it.

Quinn Kaplan

I guess other people don't mind that some shows won't be a totally blind reactions. That aside, I hope you guys get to see Rakugo one of these days. I'll vote for some other stuff you both haven't seen as well.

Lazy_Scorpio

if they can react to more anime at the same time let them...

cade-carter

i think they should focus on a few animes simultanously because at least hxh got some binge must arc soon. so i think atm hxh, haikyuu, jojo's and made in the abyss are totally fine to concentrate atm after deathparade ends. we have atm hxh with over 100 episodes left (at least 50 weeks we will need for it); we have with jojos 90 episodes left atm so it will last for nearly 2 years to end this with the actual pace and haikyuu have around 50 episodes more left to be up2date of anime releases. it would be more clever to concentrate on a few series instead of running 5 animes at the same time. and you guys willl have more time with just a few animes. especially when you start watching some episodes in arow. and i will gurantee you will do it in hxh. other wise i wont understand you guys anymore :D

There's a lot of very good shows in this poll - good for different reasons. Nozaki-kun is hilarious, light-hearted and sweet. Berserk is dark and brutal. Azumanga is wacky and funny. Rakugo is incredibly written and directed. I would give more votes to them, if only I had the chance, but since I only have one... It just has to be Monster. Even if it has the slowest pacing of any of these shows; even if it has moments that are presented in the anime in a somewhat silly manner, contrary to the source material; even if there's a chance of you watching this show in a dub that I don't like; even if it's so. so. long. I just have to vote for this show again and again, when there's a poll. Because not only you guys shouldn't be robbed of the experience that is this story, but also, I am hoping that this show can provide a balance to more exciting and fast-paced anime that you're watching. (edit: okay, and I may or may not be hoping for this show to get more attention through your videos, because it deserves it)

Lord Snail the Slimy

Anything but Bersrk please. I know it's a great series, but I don't like to think about it that often.

KingKien1

Second JoJo slot

KingKien1

Wh- Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I seeing Monster in the lead??? Mother of all that is holy, I'm going to cry tears of joy if it actually wins! There are 7 more days left to vote, though, so I must not let my hopes go up too high... *sigh*

Lord Snail the Slimy

totally agree

Clear Lime

No Parasite again...

Clear Lime

I really love Monster but i feel like it's going to take soooo many months to finish it

Come on Berserk!

Ryan H

I second Shin Sekai Yori

Hmm, just like the last poll, I'm not crazy about any of these options. I guess if I had to choose one I'd go for Nozaki-kun, but really I'd love to see Shin sekai yori or Princess Tutu.

berserk and monster. I dont need it. I dont need it. I NEED IT!!

Kenji

Yes, another person recommending shin sekai yori!

Hm, I've only seen three anime on this list (I've watched around 160 total) so I can't make a completely informed opinion. Monster is definitely my pick - really good show with some pacing issues in the middle. Anohana is good, but Jacob's already watched it and it's more fun when neither have seen the show. I was disappointed with Saga of Tanya the Evil.

more Hxh instead any of these lul

I think they already have. Just so you know, they have a MAL page.

Great options again :). For future polls I'd also like to recommend Shin Sekai Yori

Drust66

Shokugeki no Souma

Don't know if you into romantic comedy but Ore Monogatari (My Love Story) is great too!

Clover

Let's go for Monster! I would highly recommand "Shin Sekai Yori" and "Seirei no Moribito" for the next poll :)

Davdav

Good. Death parade is probebly a Good show but it's not something I want too watch. I should give IT another chance though.

Johan Larsson

I would also recommend Kemono no Souja Erin, which is a rather obscure, but incredibly beautiful anime.

I like your options and I am excited! But I would also like to suggest Ansatsu Kyoushitsu/Assassination Classroom maybe? I think that is pretty fun and I just really love some characters there lol. Aand The Seven Deadly Sins/Nanatsu no Taizai is good as well.

jufli

Monster is super awesome, but Nozaki is pretty funny so I would be fine with either.

Rockpath

Definitely Inuyashiki!

arcbun

I could not read the manga after I watched Berserk.

Princess Paladin

Berserk is probably 2nd only to Monster here (even if a distant second in my opinion). With all respect to Berserk I wasn't much of a fan of half-blind reactions before and I almost wish they weren't even included in the poll.

MrCinos

I could not watch Berserk after I read manga. I'm suggesting you to add Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji into next poll.

Rivory

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun is hilarious and sweet - the characters are all wonderful and crazy in their individual ways :)

Tammi M

Inuyashiki!

Kamolak

Now that you've said that, seeing the votes bounce back and forth on those two, all I can think of is that this is an actual battle between them.

Princess Paladin

God speed yojo senki (lol)

Sword Saint

reaction wise and for good discussion. monster is perfect !

Simo

Agreed, Monster would be a good fit for them.

AP

For future pools, let me insist on Shin Sekai Yori. That's really the kind of show you guys would love. For this one I'm voting for Monster. I like Berserk too, but I prefer reactions in which neither of you have watched the show before.

bennydelon

Woo youjo senki hype, such a good show to analyze

Potatoschweg

Come onnnnn Berserk! You can do eet! Though I wish Overlord was an option. Season 2 starts in January so it's a good time to start on it.

Princess Paladin

If we can suggest future poll options, I think you guys would really love Shinsekai yori. Also, since Jacob likes Sweetness and Lightning I'd suggest Usagi Drop

Argo

I think you guys should watch steins;gate unless you have already seen it

GodShatteringStar

I've heard good things about Monster, but a little on the edge about the long episode count. My vote is for Rakugo, seems like an intriguing slice of life / cultural learning experience!

My vote is for Ano Hana & Plastic Memories!~ It's a shame that Jacob has already seen Ano Hana, but I would love to see Calab's reaction. It's only 11 episodes too!

Phyllis

Shokugeki no Soma next poll pls. Like always voted for berserku!!

Ryan H

I'v never seen a fight between Large man with long sword vs Little girl with magic skills get this intense

Fing3rP0P

I haven't seen any of these shows, I'm glad new options like these will broaden my exposure as well!

Seconded. They need that Soma Greatness

Yunus Ahmed

Shokugeki no Souma for the next poll pls

JManuelRM

How exactly do you make the list for shows on the poll?

Yunus Ahmed

They'll probably add a second slot when Hunter Hunter is done

Yunus Ahmed

Frankly, while the excitement you guys bring in experiencing and commentating on new shows on a regular basis with polls like this is understandable, I would like to reiterate a point that has unavoidable support in your comment sections lately. JoJo simply can't be avoided as an option for a second weekly spot. While I and many others understand that you've expressed disinterest in a second spot for the show, at the rate you're continuing on it, it will likely finish in mid to late 2019. This is less than ideal and speaking as someone who has watched all of it, I HIGHLY advise against it purely because this weekly one episode format will be to the detriment of your experience with the show and the viewers of your commentary. I won't say as to why, but I think many of the people who watch your JoJo content, myself included, know that stagnating the viewing of the show is ill advised in the later seasons and can attest to that. I don't expect anything to come of this content except an understanding of mine and, if the large viewership of your JoJo content compared to other shows is evidence of anything, many others desire for a second JoJo slot for the benefit of your viewing of it and the community's viewing of your commentary. I realize you've both probably seen this in your comments enough but it rings true as you get to the end of this first season and I think should be taken into account as a sentiment held by a large portion of your viewership.

Nathan

Thanks! Never heard of it, although it'll go on our list.

Semblance of Sanity

Thanks for your support!

Semblance of Sanity

Overlord is a show we're well aware of, but have little excitement about watching compared to many other shows :).

Semblance of Sanity

Nice! Voted! And I'd like to also throw in an unsolicited vote for Gatchaman Crowds - it is rad.

Socratease

Monster!!!

Kyle

Have you guys watched Overlord? If not, then next time you should really put that show on top priority to watch :) ps: my vote goes for Youjo Senki :)
