Tee's gonna be the one reactor who gets the references in Dandadan

Dandadan is one of those shows that has a lot more depth to it then most people give it credit. Tee will be a great reactor for diving into it's intricacies as he has a good deal more media literacy then a lot of other reactors.

Hoping for Uma Musume and To be Hero X

Umamusume is my pick. However, when Dandadan came out I immediately thought it was something Tee would be really into.

While I often just vote and move on i gotta put in my 2 cents for one of my personal picks because it struck such a cord with me and I feel like it wont poll that well, To Be Hero X. It ain't too often that I decide to watch something randomly on a whim and and it sucks me right in hook line and sinker. Its animation style being so uncommon in anime makes it feel fresh in that regard compared to a lot of anime. Its fights turn on my monke brain like nothing else recently. All the flashy fights with its animation style and soundtrack got me hootin and hollerin like when I first began watching anime. The emotional beats are IMO absolutely stellar and hit the nail on the head. The way its plot progression is structured is also very uncommon and helps it stand out. Its power system is also quite unique IMO and struck a cord me. It just feels so fresh and different with so many things that it completely won me over. With all that said it still does what its meant to do well. Make you go ohh and ahh during its fights and making hype moments that you'll go rewatch on youtube. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Uma Musume would be a great pick just to see how much it improves season by season (It evolves in a very ''Symphogear'' kind of way) Also it's just pure fun and the character growth is 10/10.

There’s so many great options here, what a list! But I gotta go with Dandadan, it might be the trendy pick but idk if there’s a battle shonen or maybe anime series whose themes, plot, characters, & animation intersect so precisely into Tee’s tastes. Also, I respect the opinion of Mother’s Basement a lot and when he describes Dandadan as “the least generic and most unique battle shonen to come out of Shonen Jump since Hunter x Hunter and the best romance ever written in a shonen jump series”. I think that speaks highly. TBHX, Uma Musume, & Lycoris Recoil are all great shows and hope they get a shot soon (if they aren’t chosen).

Bokita · November 19, 2025

Dandadan is a battle shonen made specifically for Tee to enjoy

LaconicKibitz · November 19, 2025

Uma Musume is unironically the best sports drama I have ever seen. People dismiss the franchise because it's a horse girl gacha, but the girls are based on real race horses. The anime follows their careers pretty accurately, adding a layer of verisimilitude to the narrative.

KC · November 19, 2025

Uma Musume sweep... I can dream lol

E
Enchanting Extensions · November 19, 2025

Lycoris Recoil would be such a fun one to do!

K
Kveldrunari · November 18, 2025

I really hope DanDaDan wins. It's pretty much the only anime I care about right now.

Uma Musume will not win this poll due to name recognition issues and other reasons. However, the setting of this work is based on historical facts and is very good. The first three seasons, the movie, and Cinderella Gray each have their own merits. And you don't necessarily have to watch them all. Uma Musume has only recently become popular overseas, and a great many people have been watching it since Cinderella Gray, which is currently airing.

E
ElGermy · November 18, 2025

I don't think Uma Musume has problems with recognition... it has been the talk of the weeb internet community for more than 3 months already. But I agree that it's probably more because of the gacha than because of the anime adaptation, though, Cinderella Gray is doing pretty good in the western too.

Chu Heng Shiau · November 18, 2025

Is the Umamusume option on the poll for Pretty Derby or Cinderella Gray? I feel it’s usually Pretty Derby unless specified, but Cinderella Gray is such a better fit for an action show poll.

J
Julias · November 18, 2025

It's for all of the uma musume things. pretty derby, Cinderella Gray, the ovas + movie, etc.

Zairaner · November 18, 2025

God lycoris recoil would be amazing.

Aurora · November 18, 2025

Dandadan is mass market slop pls no

menelito · November 18, 2025

Popular doesn't equal slop. There are for sure parts that I didn't love, but overall it's really good.

Mike Y · November 18, 2025

Casting dark magic for uma masume to win

B
BigElliot · November 18, 2025

Dandadan would be perfect for Tee as much as I like To Be Hero X also

M
MechaNeko · November 18, 2025

Lycoris Recoil would make for such fantastic discussion, probably the most interesting one on the list from an analysis standpoint.

dpilg · November 18, 2025

really hoping for Orb: on the movements of the earth to make an appearance on here one day. such a life changing show in the same right as vinland saga

T
Teeaboo · November 18, 2025

It'll be on the Wednesday poll

A
Athmil · November 18, 2025

Really hoping Hero X wins here. The conversation over the animation alone would be really interesting to hear.

J
JokerP5 · November 18, 2025

tbhx is one of the most unique shows ever, both in animation and storytelling, so i really hope it wins here🤞

Anthony Bowen · November 18, 2025

Hoping for Dandadan/Lycoris Recoil with Hells Paradise being the third

dan dan sweep

smth positive_ · November 18, 2025

I wanna vote yes for hellos paradise so much but I can’t do it in good faith knowing how bad the production was even for mappa standards Dandadan probably is going to be the most enjoyable for you story and animation wise even though I personally don’t care for it Only heard and saw good things about tbhx so that got my highest rating
