New Anime Poll

Hi Lola and Milena! (I don't know how to send this to them, so I hope mods can help😅) I write this because I've noticed most of the anime you've reacted are shonen or seinen (for example: Haikyuu→Shonen; Attack on Titan→ Shonen; Death Note→Shonen; Frieren→Shonen; Fullmetal Alchemist→ Shonen; HunterXHunter→Shonen; Ranking of Kings →Shonen; Vinland Saga→ Seinen; Monster→Seinen) This is not an issue by itself (Vinland Saga is one of my favourite manga ever). That's just how the industry works; those are the ones who become famous/popular. Even if it's not a "problem", I'd recommend you to check shōjo and josei anime for a more broad experience. So, a bit of an explanation: Manga is published in magazines. The magazines are categorized in demographies. The demographies are: Shonen→young/teen boy Seinen→Adult man Shōjo→young/teen girl Josei→Adult woman Kodomo→Kids Inside every demography there are manga of MANY genres (So no, it's not "romance=girls". There's drama, fantasy, horror, adventure, and any genre you can imagine in each). Even within every demography, each magazine has different age groups (some shonen are more "mature", and others are more "childish"). All of this is just the TARGET. Once the manga is published, obviously anyone can read it and enjoy it regardless of gender. It's just a label. It can seem sexist to say that there's "manga for boys/girls", but as I said, it's just the target (every product sold anywhere, has a target, and it influences the way it's done, promoted, announced, etc). I'm a 24 year old nb-man, and i'm very aware of the patriarchal state of the world. Because of that, manga targeted to women are often LESS promoted, LESS adapted to anime (and when they are, often have mediocre adaptations, and almost always have just 1 season of 12 episodes, leaving the story unfinished). This is very sad, because there are MANY INCREDIBLY AMAZING stories that are invisibilized and ignored by the readers/watchers. Because of that, I want to recommend you some shōjo and josei anime that I think you would enjoy. SHŌJO: • Fruits Basket (2019) (61 episodes) (completed) Drama about a young girl dealing with life. A story about trauma, grief, found family, healing, and much more. • Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997) (39 episodes) (completed) Deconstruction of gender roles through "prince" and "princess" stereotypes. It's FULL of METAPHORES and SYMBOLISM, as it explores MYSOGINY and the suffering of women. • Natsume's Book of Friends (2008-2024. Still ongoing) (around 83 episodes) (there are more seasons expected). A story about healing. A fantastical tale about a boy growing up with the ability to see Yōkai (reatures from japanese folklore). Each one, with unique lifes. The main character is the definition of "MY BOY! MY BABY BOY!". • Yona of the dawn (2015) (24 episodes) Adventure, journey, trauma, action... The equivalent to One Piece. Sadly, even though Yona is one of the best selling manga ever, and being a LONG story with more than 50 volumes published... we only have one season for the anime. As I said, the industry prioritizes shonen😅🥲 • The Rose of Versailles (1979) (40 episodes) (complete). One of the most influential manga EVER, with an incredible adaptation to anime. Set in the French Revolution, we follow the story of Lady Oscar (a girl who has been raised as a boy, and becomes Commander of the Royal Guard) and Maria Antoinette (future Queen of France). A political drama, filled with fights, angst and social critique. • Banana Fish (2018) (24 episodes) (Completed) Crimes, Mafia, Drugs, Drama... set in New York in the 1980's. • Skip Beat! (2008) (24 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A fun yet deep story ablut a girl trying to join the entertainment industry. Hilarious humor, and nice emotional exploration of each character's trauma. • Kageki Shôjo! (2021) (13 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A story about girls joining a theatrical academy, to become performers. The main characters are sunshine, and it's super fun! It has some triggering stuff (it deals with sexual abuse, alimentary disorders, and more...). The manga just keeps getting better, so I hope they do another season... • Nana (2006) (47 episodes) (The anime is incomplete, but the manga is incomplete too, so it counts as complete, with a unique ending). The story of two very different girls who share the same name, and meet in a train to Tokyo. One wants to become a rock star, the other wants to be a housewife. A very deep and painful narration of their lifes, surrounded by flawed characters (like themselves). JOSEI: • Chihayafuru (2012-2020) (74 episodes) (We are waiting for more seasons...🥲) A sport anime about a japanese game (Karuta), but at the same time it's MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE. It can't be described with words, you have to experience it. I would say that it's the equivalent of Haikyuu, but even better in almost every aspect. • Kids on the Slope (2012) (12 episodes) Musical drama set in the 1960's. About Jazz, family, friends, and social unjustices. • Paradise Kiss (2005) (12 episodes) By the same mangaka who made Nana. This one is about a girl who wants to learn about the fashion industry. • Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (2016) (25 episodes) Deep drama, around the japanese storytelling traditional performances od Rakugo • Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) (11 episodes) (Complete) A fantastical story about healing and mourning the dead. It uses some supernatural elements, and has a unique narration style. About an adult young man who falls in love with an woman (a bit older than him) who works on a flower shop. But then, he starts seeing rhe ghost of her dead husband!? There's also Uramichi Oniisan (dark humor), and Nondame Cantabile (orchestral drama?), and many others... Anyway, I'm sorry for this long text. I know it might be hard for these to win polls, as the most famous are usually shonen and seinen... but I hope you'll give them a chance either way! Thank you!

Do kaguya sama live is war in the next poll, it's a fun romcom!

Include Code Geass in the next poll... it's not even a niche pick, it's top10 most popular anime oat. It's such an LM show, you'll see

Waiting for STEINS;GATE. Will be an amazing moment. My favourite anime of all times.

Although it’s not anime, I think you would enjoy Blue Eye Samurai. It has great animation and an intense, one short season.

Really hope to see them react to Fruits Basket one day!!

Code geass!!

I hope Jujutsu Kaisen comes up soon

and here i thought the community would give them your lie in april lol 💀

If you watched Cowboy Bebop in sub first, it makes sense why you think it’s better than dub. If you watched dub first, it makes sense why you’d think it’s better than sub. In my opinion the dub fits better because of the western influences of the show and the English actors so perfectly fit their characters.

Today, I rewatched some episodes of Cowboy Bebop. I watched the English dub version and then compared some scenes with the sub. My conclusion is: it’s not bad, but I still prefer the original Japanese audio version. Maybe people prefer the dub because of nostalgia—it might have been the first version they watched when they were younger, which is why they feel a strong connection to it. Anyway, I don’t mind if people choose to watch the dub or the sub. But if there were a poll, I would vote for the sub.

If they go with Cowboy Bebop would that be the oldest show they've ever watched on the channel?

Today was the premiere of The Apothecary Diaries S2. I really loved it. It's definitely a masterpiece. I hope this season to be as successful as S1 or even better.

LAB MEMBERS, EACH TIME WE SEND A MESSAGE, THINGS CHANGE SOMETHING MAY BE CHANGING EVEN WITHOUT US BEING AWARE OF IT. ITS POSSIBLE THAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE SOMETHING THAT CANT BE UNDONE

Is there a deadline for this poll?

NEED MASS VOTES BOMBING THE POLLS 😆😆😆 THE CALM IS DEAFENING. DONT LET IT END LIKE THIS!!! SHOW ME A PLOT TWIST FOR THE AGES!! ACTION! DRAMA!! BLOODSHED!!!

The difference between Cowboy Bebop and Steins;Gate was reduced from 9% to 4%. I really think we need one after another

I hope Code Geass shows up in the future

Glad to see Stein's Gate that high! Hoping it will be next after Cowboy Bebop!

The Cowboy Bebop dub is so good and iconic. Sub is good too, but I think dub matches the western feel.

what happened to spy x family

dororo and banana fish are the 2 best ones on here and are losing by a lot this is insane

kaguya love is war

Cowboy Bebop so space sexy

I think sub is a better option

banana fish being so low is terrible 😞

Pravda za Place further than the universe😔 Even tho it most likely will never win cuz it's not popular,i wish you'd just react to it.

Will we have a sub vs dub poll for Cowboy Bebop?

Take this poll down and replace it with just cowboy bebop and steins gate. Let the chaos unravel for the next 24 hours 😈

Cowboy bebop in dub will be a nice chill watch

Cowboy bebop is amazing but Steins; Gate will really lead to great and interesting discussion, I really think it is one of the best anime to react to

Come on, they’ll love dororo 10000% sure

These shows are great, but I can't help but think that they would adore a show like "A Place Further than the Universe" more tbh. It's only 13 episodes, and is such an underrated impactful gem that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. The themes of utter yearning, loneliness and insecurity, and female friendship and camaraderie are so beautiful, and the show is such a hug for your soul and a tribute to life worth living. Unfortunately I don't see it winning any polls any time soon unless like someone said they do themed polls :( (and for those who have seen it I also recommend watching this video essay called 'Girls on Fire" by the youtube channel Beyond Ghibli, made me cry all over again lol) I voted for Steins Gate personally, even though it seems to have lost once again lol. If the girls ever get to it one of these years I would like many others recommend the dub since it's a rare case of it being better than sub imo (same could be said for Cowboy Bebop)

I really wish 86 was on the poll, as to me as someone who has watched all these shows on the poll. Also that is show that i think the girls would enjoy with the discrimination in it. Kinda reminds me of AOT and i need their reaction to the last 3 episodes of that show. If it's not that show then i hope it is Steins;gate. My vote would've been 1) 86, 2) 3-gatsu no lion, 3) Steins gate if it had the 2 on the poll

justice for A Place Further than the Universe! this is the one that is 10/10 for me and that in my mind lola and milena would love as well 💔

Cowboy Bebop! And the dub will NOT disappoint

This is a tough one, but my vote is for Bebop. But do it in dub. It's kind of the dub that changed everything. Beyond legendary. And THEN do Steins; Gate.

I have seen a lot of people praise Steins;Gate in the comments. Honestly, i wish i could agree. Steins;Gate used to be my favorite show back when i was a kid, but nowadays i just get frustated with it. So many aspects of this show have NOT aged well. Also, i hope someday the girls include Madoka Magica in the polls. It is such a good short anime, and i think it fits their tastes.

Any chance to react to an anime movie before starting the next short anime? 🥺

Please consider doing Cowboy Bebop in the dub. I know the sub is great too, but to me the dub is iconic :D

It seems we are currently in a timeline with a 6% divergence from the one where LM would react to Steins;Gate as their next short anime. Even so, I hope they can become lab members sometime in the near future. Well, even if it wasn't my first option Cowboy Bebop is also a masterpiece with great characters, even if it's not the type of show that evokes intense emotional reactions

after like 3 years of recommending, Dororo finally made it to a poll 😭😭😭

I think they would enjoy Banana Fish or Dororo so much more than Steins;gate or Cowboy Bebop. I haven't watched Your Lie In April, but from the comments, it seems like that's more up their alley too.

Looks like cowboy bebop will be the winner. Seems unlikely that steins;gate will overcome it's current 5% deficit.

steins gate is the best

Cowboy bebop being a very episodic anime is not the best option to react to it. My first choice was Your Lie in April, I think it's the one they would like the most and something different for having music. But seeing the way things are going, I'm going to change it for Steins Gate :(

i think you would love steins gate so much, you would love our main 3 characters so much. you will adobt one from ep1 btw. you will find it absolutely precious. moments of unexpected warmth that will hit harder, feeling a deep sense of comfort between them, and it carries a heavier emotional weight that can feel more genuine than romantic love or so. and its these type of relationships i find little in shows in general that i need more of. i hope st still stays in you radar! (edited)

steins;gate will fill the void for you and more

steins gate is really one of the best animes out there. And it has been in the conversation for sooo long, i hope this time it wins.

I was hoping Bocchi would make it onto the poll, but it looks like there's a clear winner anyway so it might not have mattered

I know this show won’t fit in the ‘short anime’ category bc s3 is coming out this year. But I really want to see the girls watch ‘Link Click’. Its a different kinda animated show to the ones they usually watch but i honestly believe that they’ll absolutely love it, and I definitely think it should be added as an option after they finish watching monster. Due to its under popularity i doubt it would get chosen against whichever other options they add, but I wanna see them react to it so bad 😫

my favourite channel 🩵 i love how you pay mind to the simplest interaction between characters, that most people will not make anything of it in the writing, but you guys are different. there's ✨️sunshine✨️ material waiting for you in steins;gate that will give you a healing you look for. its rare when i find people that gets so emotional in the little moments that i personally was in too, and deliver amazing analysis together, and i think this show have tropes that you love so much

I have a funny idea. A suggestion for Cowboy Bebop reactions. Almost all Cowboy Bebop episodes usually are references to songs or musical genres. Maybe it's a good opportunity to also react to those songs or genres. For example, here is a list for some of those references. Maybe each episode we can recommend a song to listen for the next episode. O you can also listen the song before the episode on your own time. https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/29346/are-all-cowboy-bebops-episodes-named-after-songs

Since Bebop's victory is imminent, I will leave some personal observations (shared from some that I saw here in the comments) the visuals, the characters, the music and the melancholic vibe are really a highlight of the Anime and something very different from what the girls have seen before, but perhaps the way the episodes are directed is not to their liking and this could be a problem at the beginning Yes, I also think it's not an Anime that you can draw much discussion from and most reaction channels would have a hard time trying to talk about, but LM has already shown that they are very capable of doing that with any show

steins gate is wonderful

🦘🦘🦘

It was not my first choice but I think is pretty obvious the winner. I guess they will react also to the Cowboy Bebop Movie: "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" before the last episode. Maybe between episodes 22 and 23?

I think Cowboy Bebop is a bit overrated, too episodic for my taste. But overall atmosphere, visuals, godlike OST make up for it. Characters are pretty good too but I guess I expected more. If you're into old school action movies, be it Hollywood or some Eastern kung fu, and into noir melancholic atmosphere I think you'd enjoy it. But not sure if it's that good for discussion. I do agree with some that say that it has some similarities with Frieren. Reflections about how you live after the 'main story' ended. But in a more melancholic way, with all the typical noir attributes. I’d prefer Eng Dub tbh even though English isn’t my first language and my first experience with Cowboy Bebop was in Sub. It’s just a really good Dub and it fits with the show's mostly western vibes. But I wouldn’t be against Sub either. Tbh I'm not sure if I'm even gonna watch those reactions (sorry). I gave my vote for YLIA, I just like it more even though it’s a much simpler and pretty obvious story. But execution of it is one of the best. And it’s probably one of the most up LM’s alley from the list. S;G is also not a bad choice, especially with Eng Dub. It adapts original dialogue pretty heavily but in a good way I think. Especially if the viewer isn’t that familiar with Japanese otaku culture. I haven't seen Banana Fish so I don't know if they'd like it but from what I've heard of it they'd probably enjoy it. Not a fair fight though since it goes against such popular heavy hitters as Bebop, S;G and even YLIA to some extent. Banana Fish (and Dororo) are too niche compared to those. Dororo I haven’t seen since it aired so it’s been a while, I don’t remember that much. Only that that were a few really good episodes especially in the first half but overall it was like 7-7.5/10. Either way it wouldn’t stand a chance with such heavy hitters. Even against Banana Fish.

I watched the first episode of Zenshu today, the latest Mappa production. It's a bit crazy that an animator dies in the first episode due to overwork. 😂

I've never ever been more emotionally attached and emotionally impacted by a piece of fiction as I've with steins;gate, an anime with a soul, an emotional masterpiece, characters that feel so, so real <3

I will kill for Dororo pleeeeeasssseeee😭😭😭

Come on Steins Gate! Kangarooooo

Wow I've never really thought about it but Cowboy Bebop is a great spiritual successor to Frieren. They are very different shows obviously but both shows are less plot oriented and more about the characters and the journey.

I know everyone loves the bebop dub and it's undeniably one of the better ones out there, but I still think the original Japanese voice cast is easily better, without a doubt one of my favorite voice casts of all time. I can't help but think nostalgia is the main reason why many prefer the dub, but hey I'll gladly watch along either way.

Yesss, Cowboy Bepbop! Such a wonderful aesthetic

this poll tells me with need a new “short underrated anime” slot. or the girls should get some autonomy in choosing shows they’ll watch based on our recommendations.

Love Steins Gate hope it wins

Are you guys going to do another tier ranking of the shows you’ve reacted to? That was a fun video and it’d be nice to get updates on all the shows you’ve watched. (I’m assuming Frieren is S? Lol)

Omg i just know that you will LOVE banana fish 😿

I think its unfortunate that popular shonen anime aren't much recommended, even if they aren't masterpieces. I'm sure the girls would enjoy them—whether it's JJK or even My Hero. But many people seem to think that only so-called masterpieces should be recommended

Honestly, as a Japanese, It's sad a little bit that many Bebop fans in the comment say "dub is better". I'll never complain if LM enjoy this masterpiece in dub. This show is fully Sci-Fi vibes so some phrases will be more understandable in dub. But valuing dub more than sub just because you are English native is such a disrespect.

Cowboy Bebop is an incredible show but I'm curious to see how you guys find it because it's very much a vibe show and is fairly unique. I know some people who it just hasn't clicked with but it's a classic for a reason!

Hi girls, I want to share an interesting idea with you from Discord: in the future polls (whether it's for animes or tv series, long or short), would you consider setting up a different "theme" every once in a while? For example, if you set up a theme like "lesbian protagonist only", then animes that are not so mainstream like Madoka Magica, Witch from Mercury, Girls Band Cry and Bang Dream It's MyGO will have a much higher chance to win. Banana Fish and Yuri on Ice for themes like "gay protagonist only"; Higurashi, Serial Experiments Lain, NGE for themes like "psychological thriller only"; March Comes in Like a Lion, Barakamon, Natsume's Book of Friends for themes like "happiness and sunshine only", etc. In this way, you will be able to discover a lot of hidden gems and you can also adjust both your mood and the overall vibe of the channel at your will from time to time. Of course, in order to do that, I strongly suggest hiring an editor and adding more show slots. Please?

More cartoons? 😞

I recommend Kaguya Sama and Spy x Family for future Polls

If Cowboy Bebop wins you HAVE to watch the English dub

If you do Cowboy Bebop or Stein’s Gate, please do dub! They are both incredible and known for how well done they are. You guys haven’t done dubbed anime in a while :)

Among all the anime tropes, there is a distinctive and quite celebrated type of character called 'tsundere'. Even if you don't know this term, you have enjoyed it with Levi, Tsukishima and Serie on this channel, what would they have in common to be called that? There is even a cuter version of this type of character and a great example is Edward Elric, I will call it the 'cute tsundere'. But what if I told you that you can have not only one 'cute tsundere' per anime, but two, and that they can be your main duo, and that said anime can have a great focus on the interactions and dynamics of both. That is the heart of Steins;Gate.

Berserk when?

Dororo is by far my favorite of this list, but it’s losing by so much….

I’m voting for Steins gate cause that’s the only one here that I’ve watched it’s so good but I’m cool with anything else winning it’ll be exciting for me to watch a new anime

I guess it will be impossible this time, because Steins;Gate and Bebop are two true anime classics, but we have to give props to "You Lie In April" it's a spectacular series and it's very good for reacting too <3

It will be very hard (impossible) to replace Frieren, but several really good choices here. I voted for Cowboy Bebop, but looking forward to whatever is chosen! For what it's worth, the English dub of Cowboy Bebop is regarded as one of the better dubs ever made, but you can't go wrong either way.

It looks like Bebop is going to be the one to decide. Bebop is a great anime, but I wanted you to see Banana Fish　(´;ω;｀)

My favorite jazz related anime is Kids on the Slope, but Cowboy Bebop is great too. Unrelated, but I thought Dororo was Dorohedoro. They'd have an interesting time with that one. It's gloriously weird.

Don't you all miss the excitement and adrenaline from the Haikyuu vs Monster poll? 😅

The girls have experienced too much joy from Frieren and Haikyuu, so I was hoping we'd get something bleak next. 🤣 Unfortunately, none of these options interest me. I might have tuned in for Dororo or Banana Fish, but of course, those are in last place. 😅

cowboy bebop english dub pls

Suprised Demon slayers wasn't on this list.

Man, the sub elitists are fully going at it again I see. Personally, I would prefer dub for both steins;gate and cowboy bebop. I rarely watch dubs but these two are bangers. Another excellent dub is psycho pass (which you should put on a poll please!!).

No bad outcome, here.

Boku no Pico when? lol

Was gonna vote for Your Lie in April, realized it was gonna a lose... Steins;Gate it is lol.

They are all great anime, but each has its own concerns when it comes to watching. Cowboy bebop, while very cool, is quite different from the shows you have seen so far, and I think it's more the type of animation you enjoy for its style rather than for its weepiness. Cyberpunk might be a little closer. Steins;Gate is an inspiring anime, but I am concerned about the extent to which it correctly translates Japan's unique otaku culture. It also has some unique sexuality in parts, although not extreme. I usually recommend Steins, but this time I vote for Your lie in april. Not an option, but I would recommend Charlotte, Parasite, and also Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. Not many reactors to watch those, but very good shows!

Also at some point they have to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion… I feel you girls are ready for that one lol

I have to vote for Stein gates.. many bros here have been waiting for a long time and tbh it shouldn’t be fair to them to make them wait again. It looks like is in second place but I hope it gets to win .

STEIIINS GATEE!

Why do people want them to watch cowboy bebop in English though? Is this that good? I personally didn't enjoy their reaction to FMA brotherhood that much because it was in English, not saying that it was bad it's just as a non English speaker anime in English sounds weird to me. Cowboy bebop is very good in sub, I don't see how the English dub could be that much better... Maybe the translation idk

btw, merry christmas to those who celebrate today☺️ one of my coworkers (actually one of my bosses) is from moldova so i always wish him merry christmas as a joke today since he always celebrates it on the 25 and i just remembered like 15 minutes ago.

I really like Cowboy Bebop but I LOVE Steins;Gate. If only we lived in a world line where it wasn't cursed to always finish second in polls

damn i like cowboy bebop , i really do but cmon .

If you watch Cowboy Bebop, you have to watch the dub. One of the few anime’s where I recommend the dub.

One thing we should take away from this poll is that democracy doesn't work. That should have become clear with Trump's election victory, but now I'm sure of it. We need a dictator who decides what is right with an iron fist. I believe that Lau(ra) should be that person. If she doesn't want to, I'll selflessly declare myself second best, of course. :D

Out of these anime, I'm voting for Cowboy Bebop. My generation over hypes it way to much, and it didn't hold up as much as i wanted on rewatch; but for how important it is to anime history it's a show anime fans should still watch. Way before Attack on Titan created a whole new generation of anime fans (wasn't it L&M's first anime too?), Cowboy Bebop was the show that blew my generation's collective minds and more than anything else made Anime so popular in the west. Some people even argue that the anime industry might not be anywhere near as huge as it is today without the success of Cowboy Bebop in the west. Is it the best anime ever like a lot of anime fans my age still go on about? No, but just like movie nerds will never stop talking about Citizen Kane, anime nerds will never stop talking about Cowboy Bebop.

Cowboy is good fr fr, but Steins gate is all time goat. why not both?

More votes for steins gate!!! If you’re not gonna win your vote, moved to steins gate!!

So many good options but I have to go with Cowboy Bebop, because it’s actually criminal that you ladies haven’t watched it yet.

Banana Fish.... I think I saw that KitKat flavor when I went to Tokyo last year.

I think they would enjoy 3-Gatsu no Lion

I have watched all the anime in the poll except for Banana Fish, but I don't think they'll really love any of these except for Banana Fish based on what I've heard, so I'll be voting for it. Cowboy Bebop is cool but they don't strike me as the type to enjoy episodic series. You Lie in April is decent but Lola will see where the plot is going by episode 3. Dororo has some great episodes, but half of it is "monster of the week" stuff, which gets repetitive pretty quickly. Steins;Gate is on my top 5, but the anime is too centered around otaku culture, I don't think they'll understand half of what the characters represent or are talking about.

Lol none? No cartoons pleeeease 🤣

there are people who have both steins gate and cowboy bebop in their top 5 anime so both are deserving for sure. they are such short shows that they will likely end up doing both

praying steins gate wins lol

cool to see the support for cowboy bebop carried over from the last poll, especially considering it’s a relatively older and classic anime. (also merry christmas!)

I will be on my dying bed asking have they react to banana fish yet?

Banana Fish is heartbreaking, you need to see this at some point </3

Dororo getting my pity vote

Stains Gate, Lets Go👍

so sad dororo is losing it has so much heart :(

Bebop and Steins are classics of course but threw in my vote for YLIA. Unfortunately it came out just before the wave of YT anime reactions really kicked off so I don’t think I’ve seen any popular channels react to it.

I’ve never heard of a single one of those shows. Arcane is first animated show I have ever watched, and unfortunately I believe it will be the last. Not sure what about arcane grabbed me but I just can’t handle animation. Have a very hard time connecting with the characters and stories. So I’ll leave my vote out of it. I’m just here for the second season of severance. Also will they be watching that week to week as the episodes come out? Or will they be waiting till it’s over and then watching it for 9 weeks?

unfortunately for us banana fish fans, we'll only get there if they made that decision themselves (just like they did with Ranking of Kings) but the choice of animes were very good I'll also be happy with Bepop or Steins winning, true masterpieces of animation

Is there any possibility to react to an anime movie before starting the new short anime?

steins;gate is absolutely amazing, phenomenal cast, and I think will have the greatest reactions too.

The English dub for Cowboy Bebop is a must. It's highly regarded as better than the original and one of the best ever, the same as Fullmetal Alchemist. Steins;Gate dub is also a must, IMO.

If Steins;Gate wins for the love of god don't listen to the people telling you to watch the dub. The acting is incredibly stiff and inorganic by comparison, being incapable of reaching the same emotional peaks, and much of the cultural humor is entirely lost in translation.

I wish you girls include Neon Genesis Evangelion, it has 26 episodes

Your Lie in April is so dope if you are into classical music. I’m not sure yall can handle it, you’ll need some tissues lol. Plenty of anime have got me emotional but this one smacked my eyeballs and made them flood tears more than any other so far.

Was hoping Made in Abyss would make it on here again, but both Steins;Gate and CBBB are good choices. And like others have said, definitely go dub for the CBBB. S;G dub is...fine, but most prefer sub still.

Whether it’s Steins; Gate or Cowboy Bebop please and I’m begging you… watch the Dub!

Make sure to watch Bebop in Dub

honestly, as much as I want steins;gate to win, I'm super happy cowboy bebop is here and being voted highly, I thought older anime won't stand a chance in the polls since a lot less people would have seen them, I'm so glad this isn't the case. cowboy bebop is one of the best anime ever made.

Damn, voted for steins gate as I think they’ll really appreciate it but it seems bebop will win! Have always felt bebop is a tad overhyped.

I’m gonna vote for Your lie in April even though I know it’s not gonna win 🤣 I might change my vote later on I wish dororo had more of a chance tbh. Not really too mad with cowboy bepop or steins gate winning except I’m not sure if they would like some of the humor in steins gate.

lola and milana, if steins;gate loses this time, would you consider giving it the monster treatment? (how you put it after haikyuu automatically because it was there for so long) I don't think it's unfair, since it's been in the polls ever since 2022, up against mob, against hxh, against frieren, honestly that'd make us lab members sooo unbelievably happy, I hope you consider it <3

interesting to see Bebop winning but getting next to 0 support in the comments. That said if it wins I will second the commenter to recommended the English Dub

I honestly feel Cowboy Debop would be best. I can't really remember if they ever reacted to much Space Sci-Fi other than The Expanse or even in anime. Steins;Gate would also be amazing just to give me an excuse to finally watch it.

I can already imagine lola and milana cracking up at okabe and kurisu's banter, calling mayuri their sunshine, the serbian language emerging in the powerful moments, unreal HYYYYYYPE

Steins;Gate has been in the polls for so many years, please let's finally get a reaction

btw! merry Christmas girlies!!❣️ hope you have a great day/night :) <33

STEINS;GATE REACTIONS WILL GO SO HAAAAARD :DDDD

LAB MEMBERS LETS GOOOOOOOO

Let's not talk about this poll, but about possible happy short anime after these, like A Place Further Than The Universe or Buddy Daddies. And no, Apothecary Diaries, Fruits Basket, Kaguya-sama and Dungeon Meshi are long anime and top contenders for anime after Monster. 😀

I’ll suffer in silence as I vote for your lie in April 🫡 hopefully one day it wins.

None of these are in my top tier but I think Cowboy Bebop is slightly more up your alley than the rest.

Let it be known that my real vote is with Banana Fish but in order to have a show I like win I will go with Cowboy Bebop. I don't like it less, no I absolutely adore Cowboy Bebop and like it more than Banana Fish, but BF is such an underrated show.

Sad to not see Pluto (again T_T) it's only 8 episodes and you would have loved it. Cowboy bebop is great though, i'm just not that interested for reactions and idk if you will connect that much with the charaters but i could be wrong. Banana fish could be amazing for reactions and such a change but il'll never win a poll. well i'll be back on patreon for monster

Fuck dude dororo is getting slammed, that sucks. Great show 💪

Would the girls react to Attack on Titan Last Attack Movie?

Almost forgot...Merry Christmas to you, girls! (It's Christmas in Serbia, right?)

We dont even need to argue, its Cowboy B or nothing here, please guys xD

usually im kinda passive when it comes to polls, but when an underrated show that i love (banana fish) that almost no popular reaction channels have reacted to, is up against shows that usually win, the need for it to win is super strong. i will hold on hope that it gets chosen. also i HAVE to hear milena and lola say “ i’ll give my life for Ash ” and “my boy☹️” … they’d love him so much, he’s the type to be their favs based on their favourites from the many shows i’ve seen them react to.

Well, i haven't watched any of these so again, i will end up watching along whichever wins

I'd like it if Cowboy Bebop and Steins Gate were both at 33% with the same number of votes to have proof that a 2 choice poll wasn't the problem. 😂

Dororo for what its worth. Not a big poll for me. Was more of a Trigun/Champloo person over CB

I need LM to experience banana fish

Your Lie in April fans. I've come to bargain. Steins;gate has been on the polls for 3 years now. I feel it's justified for it to get the chance, so if you change your vote to Steins gate i will vote for YLIA in the next poll. Monster fans finally got their chance, i say Steins gate is the next one to deserve it

Sigh. Cowboy Bepop is great but the reactions won't hit the same as Steins Gate or even Your Lie in April

PLS PLS PLS BANANA FISH!!! they'll absolutely love it, the angst, the story, the characters, the tragedy, the pacing, the relationships....

I'll be so sad if Steins;Gate doesn't win

Excited to see which anime wins! If you’re ever thinking about reacting to a different style of animated show, Bojack Horseman could be interesting. It does deal with heavy themes, but it’s very well written and has a great mix of humor and emotional depth. That said, it’s not for everyone, especially early on, but I think it could make for some great discussions if you gave it a shot

Guys, Dororo or Banana Fish. Otherwise I will leave Patreon! ... until Invincible returns 😂

Casi grito viendo nuevamente a Cowboy Bebop 🤩. Pensé que estaría Los diarios de la boticaria para empezarlo con las chicas, pero me encantaría volver a ver CB con ellas, también

If Steins;Gate doesn’t win it’s clearly fault of the Organization working in shadows :]

anyone else finish banana fish and not like it?

Cowboy Bebop is just so overplayed. It's good, but nowhere near the quality people hype it up to be. It was just a lot of people's first non-shonen anime.

Banana fish!!!

Blue eyed samurai? Afro samurai? 😁 something, gals?😉

A bargain for the 3 other show voters: If either of your groups takes their votes away and helps Steins;Gate win its deserved victory against the Bebop (that we’ve been waiting for for 3 years), we will make sure you‘ll win the next poll.

somewhat new to the channel.. do they mostly only do anime?

Solid options, looking forward to whichever one takes it. 👌

I'm just gonna campaign for my favorite anime: Bang Dream It's MyGO (which is not in this poll but hopefully you girls will include it in a future poll). And for those who are interested, Bushiroad paid Gigguk to do a watchalong stream of the full season of MyGO (which is 13 episodes) on January the 18th (PST). This is a great chance for you to get into the world of MyGO in an easier way. What's more, the 2nd part of the story, Bang Dream Ave Mujica, is currently airing this season, but you have to finish MyGO first to check it out.

Banana fish reaction on this channel would be insane

Banana Fishers will get our way eventually

Man I know it won’t win but my vote is always for banana fish….

i feel like the girls will like steins;gate infinitely better than cowboy bebop

LOTR counts as anime right?

What do you mean I can't vote for Frieren again?

'Odd Taxi' is what they would love the most. Not very popular but truly great

No JJK yet again

Your Lie in april i could pray for this, lil recommandation for next poll: Pluto, this is a remake of the astroboy story by the monsters mangaka

Just throwing out Baccano! for future polls, from what I recall it was short and quite fun

Since Cowboy Bebop is winning, I just have to say it needs to be the English dub. If there is one universally accepted English dub, it is the one for Cowboy Bebop.

Piano Pain pleeeease

Man this is making me sad realizing we’re done with Freiren for now

I'll die with Banana Fish

Code Geass

#justiceforbananafishtho

Steins;Gate ❤️‍🔥

Crossing my fingers for Bebop

I noticed a lot of people recommended Fruits Basket on an earlier reaction video. Have they already seen it? Did they rule it out because it's too long? In any case I think they would love it given the way they love analyzing relationships. Anyway, lots of really good shows in this poll. Hopefully they enjoy. Cowboy Bebop appears to be taking a pretty commanding lead.

Didn’t expect Cowboy Bebop i haven’t seen it in ages!

I’d be happy with Cowboy Bebop or Steins;Gate

Please watch your lie in April, it is the epitome of a gut wrenching romance coming off age story. I‘ve been following you guys for years now and I know that you would both ADORE this series. The characters are the heart of this series and their dynamics, development and conclusion make this series an absolute 10/10. I’ve watched over 200 anime in my life and there are only 4 that I would call perfect, but your lie in April is one of them. This series will make you guys so happy and it will heal you but at the same time it will make you cry and break you at the end. Believe me, your lie in April is a must watch

Have they seen Kaguya??

Would have loved to see Fruits Basket in the poll, it's the perfect show for you guys especially after Frieren, but hopefully someday you will watch it.

Please Steins;Gate. I promise a vote to Bebop for next poll but we were waiting 3 years for this

Are you going to watch Squid Game S2?

I just don't see steins gate hitting for them. Open to being proven wrong. Banana fish would devestate.

ITS DO HARD TO CHOOSE

COWBOY BEBOP 🤠

Bebop is the only one I’ve seen so nothing against other ones, but they will love it. Character work, cozy retro vibe, broken people, found families, everything

Hopefully Madoka Magica will be concluded later this year to make it into a new poll

DORORO OR BANANA FISH will be 100% up your alley!!!

IK I HAVE A COWBOY BEBOP PFP. BUT STEINS GATE IS THE ONLY CORRECT OPTION

Im refusing to believe frieren has come to and end but YOUR LIE IN APRIL NATION, LETS RISE🗣️🗣️

Fingers crossed for Your Lie in April! You guys would love it ❤️

Not much of an anime guy but I would definitely watch a cowboy bebop series. Have they watched NGE yet?

El Psy Congroo.

haven’t seen any, voted steins gate

your lie in april i beg

If Steins Gate wins, that gives me a good excuse to rewatch the series!

If Steins gate doesn’t win I will cry 😭

I voted for your lie in april because i want to causa myself a lot of pain 🥺

NEED BEBOP

Bebop is the goat. Changed my life.

Steins gate let's go...hopefully

Some damn good shows in this poll 😭 Steins; Gate will forever have my heart tho

Really hoping for Banana Fish, such a great crime drama anime

ALL OF THEM lol
