Climbing into a New Year
Sorry. Lots of reasons lots of excuses, whatever, fuck it. You deserve better but I appreciate the support while I'm struggling. I'm gonna try to have a schedule again.
- Monday OVAdrive is part of that. I'm collecting suggestions in the other post.
- Teehee Tuesday is required. Dress-up darling doesn't really fit. I want a FUNNY fucking solo show to watch.
- Wednesday... I want to do something weird. Wednesday has never fucking fit. I want to get a big list of weird shows that will never win a poll and then assign them numbers 1-52 and draw from a deck of cards and call it Wildcard Wednesday. Maybe I'll make a post to get suggestions for that, too.
- Throwback Thursday is where Gundam should be. We should take a break after ZZ->CCA to watch something else. I'm thinking Ashita no Joe given recent discord convos.
- Fighto Friday is where Vinland goes for now, we'll be seeking something fun and action-packed after.
I don't want to overload but I do want a weekend slot. Super Soft Sunday or similar. That's where Dress-up will be for now. Sorry it's been so rocky, trying to record with another hooman has been quite a ride.
All in all I'm experiencing solid seasonal depression and I thought I could handle it ezpz and be back on the horse without pushing myself but that ain't gonna fly so we're gonna try to push a little.
Being is good, right? Right. I'll be honest, folks, I've had my doubts. It's hard to be a staunch advocate for an axiom like that and also a skeptical doubter who feels to need to question and re-examine every maxim. Yet through the darkness and gloom and fear for a future that seems increasingly uncertain, I find myself excited once more by the prospect of progress.
Welcome to the pit. Time to climb :)

Aw, I was looking for Dress-Up Darling, but it looks like that didn't end up happening? Or am I just missing it somewhere.
Dodgy...
Abit late but what about Grand Blue Dreaming, imo funny af.
i recommend demon slayer season 4 :)
Kenshi Trust and Betrayal would be fun. You've probably seen it on MAL.
100 Girlfriends who Really Love You for Teehee Tuesdays would fit the desired comedic vibe of the slot theme.
I'd like to recommend Fate/Stay night Heaven's feel 3, I know you watched 1 or 2 a while back so I wouldn't mind a re-reaction to those, or if you would like to jump into the third movie that's no problem, either works. Also Fate/Zero, I know you've watched it but would be really down and not mind a rewatch with reaction.
I agree HF3 would be awesome (maybe even rewatch of the first 2, idk how well he remembers them)
Monster is one of my favorite anime of all time and feel like it will never win a poll.
Wednesday suggestions Baccano (feel good mafia action) Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku (without spoilers a show that has stuck in my brain forever particularly one scene, difficult content too so you've been warned)
Claymore is a show that nobody cares about and there are no reactions out there for.
Meh. I read the manga first and when I saw the anime I was the most disappointed I've ever been in a transposition, no joke. But maybe it's because I really f'ing loved the original artstyle... I don't know. Personally, I rate the manga as a 9 and the anime as a 6. Consider that I have more than 500 series under my belt, and I've given 9 or more only to 3 anime and 2 manga. This should be telling of how much I loved the original... so yeah, I also recognize I'm a bit biased. But whatever... MANGA RULES!!! YEAHHH
Wildcard Wednesday could be one of the shows from the non-anime poll you did!
Bang Brave Bravern for TeeHee Tuesdays!
Maybe Wildcard Wednesday is how I can finally get Tee to react to Tsuritama
While Nichijou is funny, it would also never win a poll. I recommend it as one of the 52 for wildcard Wednesdays. But wait, has Tee not seen it already?. Eminence for Teehee Tuesdays instead!
i'd recommend The Fable for Tee-Hee Tuesday, it's pretty funny. Well, it's pretty noname and wild for Wednesday, too
Nichijou or Azumanga Dioh on Tuesdays would be fantastic, such fun shows~
For TeeHee Tuesday, I could see something like Makeine or Mob psycho III, but I'm not sure. Actually funny comedy animes are not a common occurrence
Prison School for tuesday, Oshi No Ko for wednesday or friday.
I’m struggling with the seasonal depression too. Best I can do is tell you what sometimes helps me. (Unsolicited advice ahead, for you and anyone else in this hole.) Remember that your body can control your mind the same way your mind controls your body. Breathe. Do a single pushup. Now do as many as you can. Maybe feel annoyed because you already know about this advice but someone is telling you what to do as if you don’t; just humor me, it’s as much a reminder for me as it is for you. Now go clean up your facial hair, shower, put on some clean clothes. Cook yourself a healthy, warm meal. Make some tea. Listen to Lateralus. Tidy your space. Stand outside in the dark and let the cold wake you up. Focus on the variables you can control and forgive yourself for not always controlling them, that’s just being human. Also, if you haven’t already, start journaling. Make it messy. Use it for setting goals, planning, fleshing out ideas, doodling, processing your day and your emotions, whatever’s in your head. If nothing comes to mind, always at least write one sentence on something unexpected or unique about the day, there is always something no matter how boring the day is. I thought journaling was lame until it changed my life. Finally, remember that it’s almost always the case that things feel hopeless because you’re depressed, not that you are depressed because things are actually hopeless.
Id shill for the new monogatari and Oshi no Ko, but do whatever.
Keep at it Tea. Love that you're so honest and keep on pushing.
recommending Puniru for the wednesday slot, it really surprised me this season
For teehee (or weirdnessday if you find it weird), I would recommend Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi (Eng: The Story of How I Went to a Mixer and There Were No Women There). I can't stand the fact that people ignored this hillarious gem! Also, I support Makeine or the 100 Gf for teehee days. Whatever you choose, I hope you have the loudest of laughs and the best of funs! Enjoy the 2025, best wishes for you
Super dimensional fortress southern cross, and Genesis climber Mospaeda wait to palate cleanse between Gundams... and a numbet of aditional Macross titles. 🫡
schedule, pog
I would recommend Prison School or Nichijou for Tuesday slots. Both are super funny shows
true
Having a healthy work/life balance is always tough to properly flesh out, especially when it drastically changes. My dollar isn't going anywhere, I'm here for the long haul! In terms of weird Wednesday shows, something like Sonny Boy, To your Eternity, Link Click, Heavenly Delusion, or even Call of the Night. They're all pretty weird or wacky, especially Sonny Boy, I'll be excited for whatever poll is next!
Eminence in Shadow for the funny slot. Love a good satire. I also just think you'd have a blast with it in general. Animiddo and SOS have also been watching it, but aside from those two it really doesn't get enough reactions where the people watching understand that it's satire AND are actually familiar with what it's satirizing.
I don't know which of your categories it could get shoehorned into unless you make the weekend some very open slot but I need to beg once again for Oshi No Ko
This schedule doesn't seem to have any slots that fit a lot of the best anime that released in the past couple of years. Oshi no Ko has had two amazing seasons, but it's not comedic enough for the Tuesday slot. Same with Dungeon Meshi. I was hoping Oshi No Ko would have a good chance at winning the next Wednesday poll, but not so much if that slot is getting randomized. The Apothecary Diaries and Pluto are both competing with Frieren for some of the best anime of last year, but they are both dramas. If you are intentionally trying to avoid reacting to dramatic shows because you're feeling bummed, I can sympathize with and respect that, but man I've been dying to hear your thoughts on Oshi no Ko. It seems like it was made for you.
With how many people turned on Oshi no Ko due to manga decline and ending, I think it kinda slipped through some people's priorities
Asobi Asobase, Nichijou, and Konosuba should be contenders for Teehee Tuesdays
I'm pretty sure Tee has seen all three. It's tough to find good comedies that he hasn't already watched.
Makeine,100 gf ,Prison school for tuesday
i say these but lemme make some selfish request for PEAK shows u might consider watching- Sonny Boy,Heavenly Delusion,Tatami Galaxy Blues(Ona sequel to the one you watched),Heikemonogatari,Space Dandy,Ping Pong the animation,Houseki no Kuni,Call of the Night....
Go workout.
I recommend *Princess Principal* for Wildcard Wednesday!
This reminds me of another bonkers show, World Conquest Zvezda. Man, that episode about anti-smokers still sticks to me to this day LOL.
I dont know how i forgot. Teehee tuesday is perfect for, Azumanga Daioh. No one knows what is going one but cant help but tear up laughing at every bit. Moe, Single brain cell!!!! highschool students living their life. [SINGLE BRAINCELL is not an exaggeration lmoo]]. Its soo funny tee. Much love
Teehee Tuesday is Dandandan. and MR TEEABOO TRUST ME WHEN I SAY. PLEASE FIND A DAY TO WATCH THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI. You need the inspiration like me. It fits PERFECTLY FOR WIERD WEDNESDAY. perfect!. Sorry for caps, i needed to emphasize my point. Its all love tee. We will be right here as always.
Dandadan seems like a shoe in for the Fighto Friday slot after Vinland Saga finishes. It is funny, but I would be hard pressed to call it more of a comedy than My Dress-up Darling.
Don't apologize, it's all good man. Living is tough, but we still continue walking this rocky road that we call Life. For Wildcard Wednesday, I guess I would recommend Gakkougurahi (School-Live!) it's a short anime, 12 eps. If you haven't seen it yet and seem to your liking, hope you consider it to the list. Much love and happy new year <3
About the weird wednesday maybe you can try try Dandadan , it's a recent show that is really weird but with an unexpected depth to it , it was an overall a fun experience
For Teehee Tuesday I'm gonna suggest 100 Girlfriends. Its a perfect choice for just chilling, sitting back and laughing your ass off.
I also concur 100 Girlfriends for Teehee Tuesday.
It's all good man, it's all good. Prison School - for funny Tuesday, maybe you haven't seen it, lot of people write it off as just a fan service show, but it's actually pretty good comedy imo Weird show for Wednesday that would never win a poll? maybe Cromartie High School? Also you could consider Monogatari's latest season at one point.
Sad or tired? My body will straight up lie about which is which sometimes. In either case good luck, you have to start strong with things like this even though it's basically begging the world to smack the neat little plans out of order. This all sounds good, I hope manga readings can resurface one day as well. They were unique. And it's also bias because I've just been reading so much more than watching the past two years. I began to feel there are a lot more interesting comics out there that will never see adaptation than there is original animated works these days.
Much love Tee, always appreciate you sharing your reflections on art and life through videos, something I always look forward to. Hope your daily perspective gets brighter.
Really love the wildcard Wednesday idea!
I don't really care about the recs as long as you have fun. I know how it is in these times to be struck with such feelings, so I'll only hope for the best for you moving forward. I'll wish you a very good and happy year when I "see" you next, in 2025, Tee! Much love.
The thing about paying $1 a month for this patreon is I truly do not feel like I deserve better lol, I'm just really grateful for what you put out. But yeah, seeing a schedule is pretty exciting.
Looking forward to the new year schedule! Would love to see Sonny Boy on Wednesdays!
Ngl I'm not sure where it would fit since it's probably not weird enough for Wildcard Wednesdays but screw it I can't not recommend Link Click. Its a chinese donghua and such an incredibly underrated show, so unfortunately I dont have much faith in it winning a regular poll LOL. Super fun and emotional. There's two seasons out already and the first episode of the prequel season just aired last week!
Link Click is peak and it would never win a regular poll
For Teehee Tuesday, maybe 'The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious'. Might not be your kind of humor but I remember it being very funny. Albeit a pretty basic story.
on a pure fun perspective, I had fun with Makeine aka Too Many Losing Heroines! I'll recommend that as well as 100 Girlfriends that really really love you for shows for Teehee Tuesdays. On niche and weird..... Bravern (Cygames Pictures)/Ben-to! (David Production before they got more famous for adaptingJojos) just to throw into the hat of the titles maybe? If you feel like going for some girl band stuff, either Girls Band Cry or BanG Dream It's MyGo!!!!! (totally standalone show compared to earlier titles in the series) are pretty solid and I always hope you get to check them out, especially MyGo Hope whichever shows win makes you feel like you have fun watching them just like how you enjoyed Symphogear and not make you feel like it's a chore to finish off the slot. Onwards to the new year!
Hey mr. Tee, happy holidays, are u planning to watch Look Back? Doesn't really fit any slot, but it's so good
^ Second this, beautiful and short (less than an hour long)
I have no recommendation in particular so Im just along for the ride. I’ve been watching loads of older videos of yours and really appreciate your outlook on the medium in a philosophical sense but also in appertaining the art form of animation. Wishing you all the best it’s hard pushing the cart out of the mud again but we’re all rooting for you!
Too Many Loosing Heroines is a good recomendation for theehee meanwhile Do It Yourself for a wild card
what about re:zero. sorry to ask but just wondering why it wasent mentioned
I'm finishing the season soon, we'll see from there. I'm not really planning to watch it while it's airing.
Thank god looks like re:zero is getting dropped asap.. would rather have another show with quality than this slop staying 20+ more episodes. Dandadan is a good weird show
???? you cant be serious.. i hope he's not dropping it
Heike monogatari is a great show to add in the mix for the wildcard thing
peak. i second this
You should watch Ashita no Joe, for the sake of tomorrow.
Seconding 100 Girlfriends. Now that's a teehee tuesday show. No need to jump straight into a full schedule. Take your time getting back into things. Personally, I'm still going through your 2020 stuff so I've got a while to go until I catch up anyway...
You've got this! Sounds like a fun schedule
Wildcard Wednesday sound really effin cool. I hope we pull some really niche shows that hasn't been reacted to.
IF we eventually get Ashita no joe i will ascend.
So many people have been waiting for Ashita no Joe. It is bound to happen, not only because of how popular it is but what it represents for the animation history.
Hey man it's okay! I was concerned that you were gone but it was more just concern for you as a person. You make great content and your reactions are some of my favorite ones. Take your time and get better
Sorry for all you've been going through this year - I hope this new schedule works well for you - good luck getting back on the horse, I'm rooting for you! Achieving consistent output when you're battling yourself is incredibly difficult. There's no judgment coming from my corner of the internet, I'm happy to keep supporting what you're creating even if it's inconsistent because you provide something great to the community. Looking forward to whatever you put out next!
Don't worry Tee, we all go through this! Regarding slot for Teehee Tuesday or Weird Wednesday, hmm, I would actually suggest 100 girlfriends! Considering second season is coming in two weeks. It seems interesting to see your reaction for bizzare true harem Gintama/Bobobo/One piece that a lot of people that aren't into harems liked, including girls and queer folks ( the more it goes the more polycule family it becomes). If even ANN highlighted it I think it deserves consideration, I believe it was in your poll with Dress-up Darling.
Also recommendation for TeeHee Tuesday has to be Cromartie high imo. It and Golden Boy were the only comedy anime I watched for the longest because of how great the comedy timing was with the dubs from that 2000s era.
So not to sound ungrateful for the update/schedule but will Re:Zero just be put on a day to finish up then before going to this schedule? It does have another season to go still too if season 2 gets finished. Maybe Friday I assume?
Wildcard Wednesday sounds so fun
You're speaking my language Tee 😭 Both in the plan which gets me stoked but also the seasonal creative rut, I'm drowning too 🙃
It's so hard to be shiny when the sun isnt
