Anime Fans that read can take advantage of this post
1. Can recommend any anime that is 25 episodes or less in length.
2. Language will be Japanese and it's original language must be Japanese (because I'm considerate of our current audience and their preferences...I don't particularly care much, and i won't stress myself with arguments about this)
3. We want heat, remember we watch mutliple shows at once, some shows take so long to get good and it can be a little tiring to try and binge.
4. without spoiling state the reason your show is should be reacted to, any show can be a good recommendation to watch on our down time.
"you gotta watch this...its so underrated" That is not a good reason to react to something...Aside from views.
Since you LOVED Marry my husband, you will love QOT...its not the same premise but it has the emotions you like
Since you like economics...you will enjoy Spice and Wolf because...economics and toes? lol
I don't expect the viewer to care about views and algorithms...totally understandable but you should be aware of what our interests are and recommending accordingly...
Sweet and wholesome is not our vibe but we did like Bochi the rock and Bofuri.....so generally it's hard to recommend a sweet and wholesome show for us to like but it's not impossible...folks you have to consider that when recommending shows....cuz if your show is trash...you never hear me say its trash....but you do know what shows I hype up.
There is a list here for a reason guys...i read someone bring up Grand blue and recommend shows like it...and i respect that...but there is nothing like Grand Blue here in this list of heat....so it doesn't really move the needle...however there are shows i didn't think of that should have been on the list like My Love Story with Yamada kun...but even though i forgot it...if you look at the list...its not suprising we like that show a lot

Darling In The Franxx
First pick....Dorohedoro. Second pick.....Dorohedoro. And finally my third pick....Dorohedoro.
Major second! Especially since Season 2 is in the works. Dorohedoro would be a dope reaction and it's only 12eps right now so wouldn't be a huge commitment!
Sorry I'm late but what show is this replacing?
I wouldn't mind Stein's gate 0 but I doubt y'all would watch that, so maybe akame Ga kill, or Kill la Kill or if you want something more recent Case studies of vanitas or Owari no seraph.
Hi
Berserk of Gluttony.
Sorry that I accidentally deleted my previous comment, so I had to repost here: Beast Tamer (13 episodes): Rein Shroud, a beast tamer, just got fired by the “Hero”’s party for his perceived uselessness in battle. However, he ends up befriending and recruiting many girls from different supernatural races, earning him not just a new group of loyal companions, but also extraordinary powers he never knew of, leading him to the journey of becoming a hero in his own right. This fantasy non-isekai show features a colorful, lovable main cast (the main girls have distinctive personalities and unique charms), as well as the protagonist’s creative use of his beast taming abilities. Tons of chibi (super deformed) scenes. Pretty straightforward plot compared to other contemporary fantasy anime.
I would recommend Dorohedoro. Dorohedoro is batshit crazy and is one of the most unique stories I've ever read. It has some of the most lovable characters ever and is intensely brutal and fun. Only 12 episodes as of now but Season 2 was announced 3 months ago so only time will tell when it will actually come out. But I recommend it highly.
I remember Bocchi the Rock was only the third anime to make you cry. Your Lie in April could be the fourth...
Hello! I recommend to watch ‘ A sign of affection’! It’s a 12 episode rom series and i am sure u guys will love it because it is pretty fast paced (a lot of ‘heat’ ) and the setting takes place in college(so not like the typical highschool romance anime). The anime’s Malelead kinda reminds me of sakuta from bunnygirl senpai because of his bluntness and charisma. I can’t garantee that it will do well( i have seen some creators make 30-50k views per episode reactions tho) but a lot of people watch the series and i can garantee that u guys will love the series !
My final recommendation is Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End. It has 2 12-episode seasons and had a good following when it first aired in 2015. I feel this fits well with shows you like. This is an edgy action anime. Humans fighting for survival against vampires. It has a lot of baddass looking weapons. Great action. And it doesn't hold back. Can get a bit dark.
The second one is Btooom! A survival game where players have to battle each other with different types of grenades. It's a bit old (2012) but is only 12 episodes. The premise is simple and somewhat common nowadays, but it's done well. More importantly, this anime brings on the heat literally and figuratively.
Based on the series listed, I narrowed down my recommendations to 3 depending in what you're in the mood for. The first was mentioned before, Wotakoi It's a romance anime with similar vibes to My love story with Yamada-kun. It showcases different types of otakus and has a balanced mix of comedy and drama. The characters are adults and not highschoolers (I like both but good romance anime with adult characters are not very common).
Baccano! Only 13 episodes. Straight up 1930s ganster mafia shit with a little bit of supernatural sprinkled in. Only thing is YOU MUST SKIP THE FIRST EPISODDE or else be spoiled of any interesting plot twist throughout the series. While this may not get you views it would probably be a palette cleanser for you guys.
i think you would dig aoashi. Made from the same studio that made haikyuu and similer to haikyuu but still different in its own way. PS its a soccer anime
I also think aoashi would be great as well, it's a more realistic portrayal of soccer despite buddy's eagle vision or whatnot haha
I'd like to recommend a few shows. Most of them is what I like to call a character driven shows. There's no shonen type or hype type titles in here but I believe you can enjoy some of them anyway for what they are. #1 Ascendance of a Bookworm S1 - 14 ep MAL 7.99 Ranked #651 Popularity #774 Fall 2019 In terms of views should be decent since it was out in last 5 years + it have a very stable fanbase. Have a total of 3 season with 14, 12, 10 ep each with 4th season on the way. Premise: It's an Isekai where FMC was an avid reader aka a bookworm and she got reincarnated as a frail five-year-old girl living in a medieval era without any accessible books for masses. Easy premise with a lot of potential. She has a goal right from the start and it is to make books. FMC is a likeable character and through her lenses we get to experience her life struggles in this world onwards. I'll make a comparison with Mushoku Tensei as a popular title in the same vein. If MT explores its heavy themes through Rudy i.e. from the very bottom of a human character in a very raw way, AoB explores its themes (family love, social class, religion) in a very family friendly way but still cutting very deep. Also have a similar "turning point" structure where while she grows she undergoes through significant life changes. #2 Gosick - 24 ep MAL 8.04 Ranked #585 Popularity #399 2011 Its over 10 years old so no recency bias. It was fairly popular back in its day. Considered one of the best detective shows (that are not endless like Conan or Kindaichi) The anime set in a fictional European country of 1920's. Its a detective show featuring a combo of japanese male MC and mysterious golden hair female that assumes the role of detective, both of them attending an academy. While they are both students the show is not constrained to school setting. Most of the cases includes some sort of supernatural undertone. Once again character interaction is what driving this show which also have an overarching plotline with very solid romance between both leads. A vey balanced anime of all its content. #3 Skip Beat! - 25 ep MAL 8.08 Ranked #527 Popularity #895 2008 Even older that previous. Its manga legit one of the most popular shoujo manga ever. The fanbase is real. Premise: FMC 16y old works multiple jobs to support her childhood friend in his rise to stardom as an idol. However, her heart is broken when she overhears that he views her as nothing more than a maid for him. Angered over being used, she swears to get revenge on him by entering the world of showbiz to surpass him. Iconic female lead. She has a strong personality, drive for work, not willing to give up. We get to see how her rush decision to enter showbiz, her hard work to achieve it, interaction with people around her let her grow as a person and as an actress. #4 xxxHOLiC S1 - 24 ep MAL 7.98 Ranked #655 Popularity #744 2006 Premise: MC can see and attract spirits and all sorts of supernatural creatures, which problematic for his daily life. He meets a mysterious woman Yuuko who claims to rid him of this ability. For a price she demands that he work at her "store" that grants wishes to people. Yuuko while being a co-star of the show is the actual star. She runs the show. Not to say that MC is bad but he is mostly a reactionary to her. Show follows an episodic nature where we met different people and their different life problems that reflect itself in some connection to spirits. Unique in its vibe, ambience and presentation. Made by CLAMP so it has "lanky" character design like in Code Geass, imo only adds to the atmosphere of the show. #5 Saiunkoku Monogatari S1 - 39 ep MAL 7.88 Ranked #838 Popularity #2116 2006. Studio: Madhouse (made Death Note, OPM, Parasyte, Overlord, Irregular at magic HS) so I assure it had a solid production. I know its ep count is over 25 so I'm throwing it just in case. Show set in fictional Chinese country similar to Apothecary diaries. Once again we have a strong type female lead. She is clever young lady who dreams of becoming a government official and contributing toward her country. However this position is forbidden to women. While her father works a low wage job at the palace, she juggles odd jobs to make ends meet. By chance she was offered to become new emperor consort for six months to slap him into shape since he refuses to rule and its only a woman who can change a man. And it all starts from here. While show is old and its character follows the tropes they designed to, they have they own personalities for example like cast of Steins gate. The show is thriving on politics and character interaction. I'd say that romance is a sub plotline in the show, emperor and female lead interactions are competitive and they stand their own ground in the relationship.
Bang Brave Bang Bravern. It's basically what if in the middle of a Gundam all of a sudden a Gurren Laggan happened. It's short, it's weird, the action looks good, the waifus are there and you two do kinda like mecha. To be honest, it did get slept on a bit last season but there's been a rising buzz around it.

I'll shoot my shot with World End Harem do it for the boys. But since that's unlikely based on what I'm seeing in the comments I wouldn't mind Vanitas.
Shooting my shot.. & Giving you four options + an anime movie recommendation (for algorithm purposes). Tower Of God (13 episodes) (recommended by a few others as well, second season coming this summer) - Action packed, twists & turns, unpredictable moments, and will leave you wanting more. Similar feels to Magi & HxH in ways. Akatsuki no Yona (24 episodes) - Starts off with a female MC at her lowest but you gradually see her evolve into a strong character, Kingdom setting where people help her along the way (similar to the One Piece crew), has a legend which gives powers to those that it involve, and lovable characters. Daily Lives of High School Boys (12 episodes) - Centered around a group of three young lads who are all friends that participate in a bunch of shenanigans, absolutely hilarious & ridiculous, and basically an anime shitpost (in the best way). Death Parade (12 episodes) - Fire intro, based around being reincarnated or sent to the void after death via games (such as darts, bowling, etc), emotional, and makes you think. As for the movie recommendation definitely think on watching A Silent Voice (2hr 9min). It's about a new transfer student that is deaf and is relentelessly bullied but as years pass she re-meets her bully and the show goes from there. People are still uploading reactions to it to this day even after its 2016 release. It's won nominations too.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (12 episodes): A salaryman named Mukohda gets accidentally summoned to a fantasy world by a kingdom there, supposedly to fight a demon king. Realizing something’s not right, he decides to get away as soon as he can, using the excuse that his ability (Online Supermarket) is useless. However, on his way to another territory, the modern-world food he can obtain from that skill, as well as his superb cooking skill, end up getting the attention of the powerful divine wolf Fenrir. The wolf shows up, tastes Mukohda’s food, and demands to be his familiar so he can get to eat more delicious dishes. Thus begins a fun gourmet adventure of Mukohda and the OP wolf, with many fun, cute and interesting characters coming into the picture, including an absurdly adorable slime and a sweet-tooth goddess. Lighthearted isekai adventure comedy that resembles a road trip, with loads of fun interactions between the protagonist, who wants to live in peace, and his wolf familiar, who wants to try all the delicious and exotic food the world has to offer. It gets even better from Episode 5 onwards when the male lead gains another familiar in the form of a slime. Warning: this show will make you feel really hungry thanks to its very detailed portrayal of the male lead’s cooking. Expect some sponsorships throughout. Animated by Studio Mappa, with Season 2 pending.
High card (24 episodes) heavily inspired by the kingsman movies.
How about The case studies of vanitas you need something new to add variety to the month. I see a lot of people recommending Golden Time, but that's written by the same Author as Torodora not saying it's the same but similar you can feel the similarities. So Vanitas to add variety and spice things up.
Gotta be Pluto. Eight episodes, epic plot and I would like to see you guys react.
Heavens lost property- fan service, comedy, shit certain people would definitely think about doing, very surprising, kept my interest... pretty wild sometimes... overall 7/10... would give higher but a little to wild sometimes.
I think this fits the criteria perfectly Case Studies of Vanitas 24 episodes, japanese, romance/action, and I don't think it's underrated I think it's pretty popular.
Case Study of Vanitas. vampire anime from 2022, Youtuber Danny Motta got 144,134 views on ep1/2 and 87,210 views on ep3/4 reaction posted THIS MONTH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph0NNkjkPzU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3NNYajQ1aY
I am honestly way too late for this but I Love Re: Creators because there music is made by Hiroyuki Sawano (AOT and 86 had there music done by him) plus the cast of characters is full of various different characters which different abilities and motivations that will make it hard to hate everyone...the bad things about the show is that for some people there is too much dialogue (yapping) between the (I personally like it because it's building up the characters and the world) and because it was a anime original it was not that popular when it came out, but it has Great Music Great Fights and Great Characters please consider checking it out whenever you have time and thank you for reading this message
I really would like y'all to revisit BANANA FISH!!! It was so good and y'all only watched the first episode, I was so disappointed. And adorkable is here this time, thats even better!! It's really not as you were thinking when you stopped, give it a try now as you guys are more open minded.
It definitely fits all your criteria; I know it's a show you guys will like.
Sorry for poor formating I'm on mobile... Don't remember if you've seen it or not but I recommend Code Geass. It's been compared to Death Note but it's better imo. It goes hard from the get-go with the first episode hooking me and the journey from there being amazing. Very intelligent MC and it has a world scale to it with militaries and Mechs. Ideologies collide and trust is broken to be reformed anew. The MC is the protagonist and "hero" of the story but seen as a villain by many. As well as the hype emotions and laughter I've also cried to it a few times. It's one of my favourite anime ever. I recommend the first season, and it's second season, made as it had a few remakes/movies. As a few honorable mentions Clannads amazing romcom drama, you might not be into it but you loved Dangers in My Heart so you might love this. I also want to see Tsukimichi season 2 reacted to but I know you probably have plans for that or keeping it on the backburner. As a wild card, the isekai Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar I've always liked but hardly see anyone mention it. Its fantasy but with some advanced tech like flying islands and mechanics. It's a spinoff from the Tenchi Muyo series but holds its own very well. I always wished someone would react to this and that it had more popularity. Anyways Cheers! Hope you have fun with whatever you choose.
If you want pure toxic trash in a good way, "Scum's Wish"
Nice recommendation. Good summary too.
The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses - 12 episodes with a second season coming next season (July 2024), and IMO, the series only gets better - Ecchi Harem RomCom often compared to Quints, mainly cause there are 5 girls - MC along with 5 girls live together and run a café - Not sure if this is relevant, but 4 out of the 5 girls as well as the MC are 18 or older
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PLZ i BEG PEAK EVEN BETTER THAN QQ
By the grace of god (2 seasons of 12eps-ish) it’s an isekai and an iyashikei(makes you feel peaceful), reincarnation, beast taming adventures world/self discovery and beast people (woohoow) no plot just Life and fun! Easy watch !
Akagami no shirayuki (shirayukihime) coming of age romantic comedy ! From what I know u watch shoujo wise on this channel you would like this ! It’s royalty it’s blossoming feelings and humor !
Beast tamer ! It’s a non-revenge but you gonna regret loosing me trope ! Harem (beast people yay ! )and humor ! Kind and a not so subtle plot brewing right under a seasoned watchers nose !
Reincarnated as a sword ! It’s 13 ep it’s an isekai but into an inanimate object! Adventure comedy and beast-people !
'The Case Study of Vanitas' - 24 episodes - Good amount of action, romance, involves vampires. Obviously not the same, but Call of the Night is probably the closest comparison. Same studio that does My Hero, Mob Psycho, etc. - Lot of the usual larger channels reacted to it when it aired and did decent-to-good viewership depending on the channel. Been a couple of years, so unsure how the landscape is now. 'Kemono Jihen' - 12 episodes - More action and mystery-focused. Darker tones with a colorful cast of characters. You get the gist of the series pretty quickly. - Definitely less common on YT, with only a couple of "known" channels covering it.
Dorohedoro - 12 episodes About a dude and his girl kicking asses nuff said
Any anime as long as it's not k drama.
Hinamatsuri - 12eps. Similar to Mob Psycho 100 which all 3 of you liked. Also a wholesome slice of life about psychics, except it's not helping a fake psychic but a Yakuza who never wanted to take care of a kid but now has to. Will make you laugh and cry and has some of the best character development I've seen, just like Mob Psycho. Edit: not a well known show but everyone I've introduced it to has loved it. Rated 8.12/10 on MAL.
Hinamatsuri needs some love,great show
- Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls (12 episodes ) : degen/ comedy anime, this haven't got any recent reactions but this guy on youtube react to it without even facecam and got around 150k avg views through out all twelve episodes, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhhHUNAwOt2pUtv3ozKCKUOc_L5OR3FxH - Sekirei ( 2 seasons, definitely a duo anime, you should like this ) - How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord (2 seasons 12 + 10 eps) - Mieruko chan (one season but unique story and Joe reacted to it) - Trinty Seven, could be potentially good one but this is one season followed by two movies
Happy Sugar Life, 12 episodes, story is finished. I remember you guys liked Talentless Nana and this show has the same energy, just replace the superpowers with toxic romance and 🔥🔥🔥
If we talk about 25 or more episodes, many of them are old animes that were peeked in their time but that today no one remembers them, it would also be good if you have a category of old animes, "Nurarihyon no Mago Rikuo Nura", a part-youkai and part-human boy, grew up as the young master of the Nura Clan 24 episodes the story has a lot of action comedy I think you might like it. "Kimi ni Todoke" With Netflix's announcement of bringing its third season, I think it would be good to catch up with this romantic comedy, a classic like TORADORA, I think you will also like it.
Kobayashi Dragon Maid, It's simply a lot of fun and there isn't an episode that leaves something to be desired. I think you found the relationship between the two main protagonists, a human and a humanoid dragon, intriguing.
🦶🦶👁🫦👁
Buddy Daddies - (13 Episodes) Desc: An Assassin pair suddenly becomes the caretakers of a four-year-old girl. The action, comedy, and emotional scenes are evenly distributed so you get a good mix of everything. Also, it has an enjoyable storyline that follows the struggles of parenthood while trying to find balance in their work life.
Bakemonogatari: 15 episodes for this first season, 8.3 on mal. There's more after but not gonna be mad if you stop at it. Has a good mix of comedy, romance, action and waifu wars. I'm not gonna yap about it, but it would be great if you reacted to it. Roshi reacted to it if you want a point of reference.
rakudai kishi no cavalry: 12 episodes, a very good blend of good action, romance and ecchi. i only know of one channel that has reacted to this (quirky quota is called) and it had numbers around 20k but since its only one channel there isnt much sample to know if it really does well or not
I second this. I remember watching this show 2 or 3 times already, never gets old to me
HIghschool of the dead - 12 episodes + 1 OVA - Really the same premise as all of us are dead, except more badass because they have guns - Im sure at least some of us has at fantasized at least once in our life what we would have done if we got stuck in a zombie apocalypse at work/school
And a bonus it was done by madhouse same studio that did frieren.
Tldr; I really think you guys would enjoy Madoka Magica. (12 eps + 1 movie) I will probably not be seen, but I am once again here to recommend 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica'. There is not too much I can talk about without accidentally giving away too much, but the show has intrigue and Action sequences, and tells a very good story that left me feeling quite emotional at times. It is considered to be one of the original shows to be an antithesis to the Magical Girl Genre, and while it is not worth much, it has been one of my 3 favorite anime up there with Steins;Gate and Fullmetal Alchemist(which was recently dethroned by Frieren for me) It is a 12 episode series with a sequel movie already out called Rebellion, and another movie coming out later this year as well. I really do think that you guys would love it, assuming you haven't already seen it.
Trinity seven, Sekirei. Both under 25 ep. Yall would like. End of my suggestions
You guys should check out Megalobox, you’d really like the characters. It’s about an underground fighter who decides to get serious about the sport and chases after an opportunity to fight the champ on the grandest stage of them all, Megalomania. It’s got some great boxing fights and amazing characters (Gansaku Nanbu da GOAT). It’s only 2 seasons with 13eps in each.
Holy crap I had forgotten Megalobox. That show is so damned good.
zombie wa desu ka
'hyouka' (22 episodes) The protagonist runs in to several misteries within their daily lives. Hyouka is a beautifully written and engaging mystery anime that explores the themes of friendship, curiosity, and the power of the human mind. What I personally liked about this show, was the animation. It was simple, yet eccentric, yet beautiful. And I liked that the misteries in this show were not so heavy like murder or anything toxic, so that you can truely relate to the characters and feel them. The humor was mature and out of the box, too. 'Darling in the Franxx' (24 episodes) This show is set in a dystopian future where children are artificially created and indoctrinated solely to defend remnants of civilization. It is a mecha anime and I've heard you are scared of'em because people don't watch those, but I'm pretty sure this one is exceptional. Here's why. The story is focused on the reality that the protagonist and others are living and learning about the nature of human beings. Also the show is very romantic and the character developments are finominal and that is one of my biggest reasons why I love and reccomend this show. Another reason I reccomend these two shows to you guys is that, uu, I've seen you guys have reacted to 'erased'. I think these two shows have similar energy as erased in a structural way. They give you the perfect closure that a well written story should have. They are very complete in a story point of view. Also the animation is so fluent that you can't even notice it. This is the first time I write something to you guys and I'm delighted that I am. For I am Korean, my English isn't that good so I had to modify a little. But I hope you can understand what I want to say. Thank you for reading. I always appreciate your contents! Have a nice day!^^
I second this
Deca-Dence. 12 episodes. Sci-fi action anime, which has similar vibes to Attack on Titan and Gurren Lagann. Short Summary: "In the distant future, the human population has been decimated fighting the mysterious creatures known as Gadoll. The few survivors band together to build a mobile fortress known as Deca-Dence, from which they can mount their resistance to the enemy."
Idaten deities know only peace. It is a 2022 Mappa show about wars between gods and demons. It is death note levels of mind games with tons of action. It is very fast-paced yet proposes many moral dilemmas. The main characters are gods so their ethics and morals are very different from humans'. There is some fucked up things in this show but it is well worth it. Side note: this show was intentionally hidden by Crunchyroll and they did every effort to not market the anime due to the 18+ nature of the show.
Madoka Magica (full title Puella Magi Madoka Magica) - 12 episode anime + 1 sequel movie - Original anime, not based on any pre-existing work - Certified hood classic - It's been popular with a lot of reactors lately (YaBoyRoshi, Re:Animated, G.O.T. Games, AutoSave) - It's a magical girl show, but it's much more than that. It's very easy to spoil, so I'll leave it at that, but it's a classic for a very good reason If anybody reading this has a hankering for Madoka reactions, AutoSave's is one of the best!
Hello, I will second this recommendation.
Reincarnated as a Sword 12 episodes
Kobayashis Dragon Maid 24Episodes. Very wholesome funny show with very good animation.
Hellsing Ultimate - 10 episodes. You'll likely enjoy this if you liked castlevania - Has the same mature plot and fights that are defo not for kids. The characters are chaotic and captivating even when you know they're not 'good' & what makes it so great. Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar - 13 eps. reasons are same as previous posts. great all-rounder balanced anime (comedy, action, characters, 'PLOT') Both of these shows should garner a lot of interest since they're timeless in quality and have large fanbases plus there are very few reactions available but each have a lot of views
NETFLIX JSUT RELEASED A NEW ANIME SERIES CALLED THE GRIMM VARIATIONS I JUST WATCHED THE 1st episode AND IT IS PEAK. It’s an anthology series, based on the classic kid fairy tales we know little red riding hood, Cinderella etc but twisted in a shocking way, over 30min per episode and only6 episodes My top recommendation
In Love with the villainess Beyond The Boundary Uzaki-chan
Kill la kill -1 season only 24 episodes -Follows a girl who finds this sentient suit(clothes known as goku uniforms)that attaches to her body and gives her powers. She is part of an academy ruled by her sister. The girl is trying to find her father's killer. -Is regarded as a anime classic -also very ecchi -received a bunch of anime awards in 2014 the year it finished airing. (Aired Oct 2013 to Mar 2014)
Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront)
Ive seen others recommend shows that i wanted to recommend like Tower of God and Dark gathering, my reasons are the same as theirs. But I gotta recommend Uzaki-chan wants to hang out. its like Nagatoro but in college and the fmc isnt as "mean" as Nagatoro was in the first episode. It doesnt seem to get much views on YT but im grateful if you guys eventually get to react to it, Also since you brought up Spice and Wolf, Id like to recommend How a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom. Its an isekai and I believe that youve already reacted to the trailer a couple of years ago and decided on not covering it at the time. Its a slower show as well, so I completely understand it being a low priority for you guys. My recommendations in order are 1. Tower of God 2. Uzaki-chan 3. Dark Gathering 4. Realist hero
"My love story" -has 24 episodes -everybody agrees its one of the g.o.a.t romance anime -has a unique plot for a romance something akin to a beuty and the beast type story -has a similar art style to yamada kun lvl 999
Really have to recommend Durarara, has an amazing story with good twists, a very good cast of characters, also has 2 seasons. Season 1 with 24 episodes, and season 2 with 36 episodes. I really do feel like you would enjoy this one Lee.
Black Lagoon - 24 ep/ 5 ova: Mainly takes place in what's considered to be the most corrupt city in the world where the big sharks of the underworld mainly go an compete with one another such as the Triad/Yakuza/Russian Mob/Cartel to name a few. Story is centered on a "delivery" company that works within that city. Has lots of violence, some dark themes (not fantasy related but more of a our world does has a very, very messed up side to it), and has a female lead who is a badass with great legs. Jormungand - 24 ep: Follows a weapons seller around the world with main characters being her and her body guards, mainly a child soldier from Africa. Themes are similar to Black Lagoon but not as dark (in my opinion at least), lots of violence considering they do have to deal with selling weapons for profit around the world, and cast is enjoyable to watch especially some of their backgrounds and you see how they are easily tamed by such an air headed and whimsical boss. Gate - 26 ep: Ever wondered what would win a fight between a dragon an AA artillery, welp you can find out in this show with the modern world getting mixed with a fantasy world. They are two separate worlds and they are able to pass through a gate to visit each other's world can't really say more without spoiling. Themes are dark but show took most of dark parts out, lots of violence cause when you are visiting a new place of course you would first go there with your army to show you mean business, and story does have political theme in it but the pacing was good enough that I did not grow bored with it.
I feel like they should watch it in the dub version. Not to start a fight but in the dub version the voice actors actually put actual thought and emotion into the dub. The main difference between the 2000s and now. Ninja kamui for example of dubbing now.
I said it once and I'll say it again, If you guys enjoy baki Kengan Ashura is the next best pick. Plus a crossover between them in coming soon.
The witch and the beast was really good, im just not sure how many people actually watched it. one of those shows. it was kinda like vanitas
Durarara!! - 24ep story told from an ensemble cast that becomes darker and more serious as it goes on with its own twists. Darker than Black - 25ep Superpowered Spy story that explores the ideals of the conflicting superpowered individuals and how the powers that be effect it . Baccano! - 16ep ensemble cast Adventure Mystery which can be summed up by it's title that translates to ruckus/racket
Since yall enjoy some good action, I'd like to recommend an oldie called Kill la Kill. Kinda magical girls given more of a comedic, shonen aesthetic. It's a unique show of action and fashion that showcases incredible animation. HOWEVER, I do think it might be hard to post on youtube because the amount of semi-nudity. The art nerd in me gushes over the visuals because of how well designed it is. It's also directed by the same some of the gurren lagann creatives, so you guys might have already seen/know of it.
Hyouka Land of the Lustrous Eccentric Family All less than 24 eps, Japanese, and just really good, highly rated shows that aren't isekai.
Assassination classroom you guys would really enjoy
Re:Creators (22 episodes), mainly an Isekai but includes different themes, i think it has a really interesting concept. Tower of God S1 (13 episodes), based on one of the most popular manhwa from the OG ones, while "the manhwa is better" it's still a good adaptation, plus season 2 is coming out in summer so there should be more people looking for reactions to it (wink wink).
Ah i see what people mean when they say "it hurts to see x not on this list" cause they're disappointed in your personal taste 😔 here i was thinking they actually read and replied to the post with a suggestion
Akame ga kill Claymore Relife Jormungand Noragami Guilty crown I can’t remember if you watched domestic girlfriend
Probably many views (Don't quote me): - "Ragna crimson" [24 episodes]: 1.) "Death mount dead play" fantasy version 2.) Revenge story (I honestly think you'd vibe more with the villains) Experimental views (not because they aren't famous, just that nobody has reacted to them): -"Haruhi suzumiya" [technically 28, in reality 21, anymore explanation is spoilers + a movie]: 1.) The literal definition of a classic 2.) Take Light from "death note", give him actual god powers and don't tell him he has it. -"Hyouka" [24 episodes]: 1.) Like "the dangers in my heart" with mystery added in. 2.) I would call this an intro to why anime is the way it is (as long as you can connect the japanese culture presented to anime e.g. why do most anime include cultural festivals) 3.) Shares many aspects with oregairu ("my teen romantic comedy: SNAFU") - "Katanagatari" [12 episodes 50 min each] 1.) Same author as monogatari 2.) Very simple and straightforward story structure (despite it's episode length) 3.) Basically demon slayer if Tanjiro's sword style was him using his on body as a blade, and also being able to copy the other hashira's sword style Almost no views: - "Horizon in the middle of nowhere" [26 episodes]: 1.) Politics + PLOT 2.) Just a personal preference I wanted to squeeze in - "Tenchi Muyo: War on Geminar" [13 episodes of 40min each] 1.) Same reason as previous
Ps. This is if you miss "danmachi": - "A certain series" [159 episodes]. Which is divided into: -- "A certain magical index" [74 episodes] -- "A certain scientific railgun" [73 episodes with a lot of skippable filler] -- "A certain scientific Accelerator" [12 episodes] 1.) It has the same concept as danmachi, just instead of a dungeon, you have an academic city. And together with magic, you also have science. 2.) The three series have three different main characters all operating in the same city at the same time (so basically a cinematic universe)
idk if you guys have watched it before, but "Little Witch Academia" is a very fun one from Studio Trigger.
I tought the same at first but I think there is more than one season?
"Aldnoah Zero" I still remember we never got this Mech anime and you guys did enjoy first episode. Fail YBRL :D
Second this, but i lost hope for that one. And to put the nail in the coffin : 1. I quote : "we like this one. (we like anything with corrupt government killing people for power and control or just plain evil LOL)" cf. Lee, May 2, 2021. 2. I quote : "It's our intent on circling to finish the show alongside Talentless Nana after we finish out jojo." cf Lee.May 21, 2021.
Darker than black. It has 25 episodes. It is set in a world where a mysterious event has occurred sparking a change in humanity. the story involves assassination and espionage and includes abilities and revolves around the reason behind this mysterious event as well as the mcs endeavours. The series is known for its intricate plot, action-packed scenes, and exploration of moral dilemmas but it also has some good characters and comedic moments, a must watch for sure. I remember it being a great watch because of the story and so I'd love to rewatch it with you guys.
It does have a second season though so i think you missed it.
Madoka Clannad Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash Cross Ange Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom Akame ga Kill Darwins Game High rise Invasion White Album 2(Standalone series) Highschool of the Dead
Not a single thing suggested in here better than Link Click but xenophobia wins. Sadness
I still to this day do not understand why this show hasn’t gained more popularity😭. I mean Yaboyroshi is starting it soon so I’m looking forward to that.
Trigun Stampede - 12 Episodes Brought this up before and you mentioned that you’d already watched Trigun. If by that you were referring to the original anime from 1998, then to clarify ‘Stampede’ isn’t just ‘Trigun’ again but made today. Instead it takes elements from the Anime and the Manga (which was unfinished at the time the original Anime was released) to tell its own version of the Trigun storyline. So even if you have seen the original, it would still be a new experience for you.
I see you took the effort to make a distinction and have spoken before with me. Thank you and noted
If you haven't seen Bungou Stray Dogs, you're missing out on one of the greatest anime shows ever. It has five seasons and a movie, Bungou Stray Dogs Dead Apple. It's an amazing story that I love and continue to watch. The characters are well thought out, and they are all fleshed out. They fight for peace, creating a fantastic storyline that will leave you breathless. The show has great characters, like "Fire Force" and "Soul Eater," and puts funny and strong characters in the action-filled story. The scenes between fights have funny and smart lines from the characters. It's worth noting that every character is named after an author and has their personality quirks; it's worth your time and won't disappoint.
Thats pretty dope to hear. 5 seasons though. Sounds like i gotta check it out asap on my down time.
I would say reincarnated as a sword but I know that's not going to happen So I'll say Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar it 13 ep it's and isekai the MC is OP and has all the girls of the world chasing after him to get his seed and I mean literally seed they want to sleep with him storyline is great animation is awesome and the characters are absolutely awesome
that series was ahead of its time fr. great balance of different elements in the story
Your Lie in April #23 in popularity in MAL with 2 million members Romance, Drama Reasons: - Has a solid fanbase willing to view it on youtube - Reactors have seen with good amount of views (Alana Misako for example). The views for your lie in april greatly surpasses Toradora or CyberPunk - Story has a similar vibe to Toradora but more heavy. Definitely a great show for a reaction But the biggest reason: - Its April
Your Lie in April is VERY VERY good. It's definitely not their usual affair (not a lot of heat either) but it DOES fit all their criteria to a T.
“Fate Series is a no” 😭
I guess technically Fate is more than 25 ep too lol. we gotta include fate zero then ubw then movies, etc etc
Damn it was fast lmao. Then Re:Creators : it's the SECOND REVERSE ISEKAI after Eminence, of course.
Princess principal, think steampunk spy anime during the "Cold War" and move the Berlin Wall too London instead, it has 12 episodes with a runttime of 25min,and a 5 part movie and each episode is is around 45min I think.
Damn thought never thought Fate Series is a no go 😂😅
Its a lot of episodes and we have seen different shows parts on our own. Its just a mess for reactions. Also copyrights
Golden Boy (6 eps, ~30min per ep) This is more of Lee and Director show though It's an oldie that I found really funny Not sure if any of you have seen GTO but same vibes. If not best I can compare it to is the Kon segments from Bleach.(ichigo's stuffed animal) If you liked Kon you'll love this anime. I know you said it has to be in Japanese but dub adds to comedy imo but Japanese is still pretty good. Another potential show I saw people recommending that I put my vote on is Golden Time
Fruits basket!
They would absolutely love Fruits Basket, it's not the typically romance. Has alot of drama and toxic elements and would get amazing discussions out of them. The only con is that the 3 seasons might scare them
Jormungand -2 seasons each 12 ep -No superpowers just guns straightforward -Has lot of action and decent ending (also fan service here and there) Thought that it might be a nice change of pace. Baccano 1 season 16 episodes great and very interesting plot it took me 2-3 episodes to understand what was happening in the show Binge worthy.
Baccano is pretty fire. Fast paced as hell too.
Love is war not being up there hurts my soul
it's already been reacted to.
Another I will say, it's a very dark magical girl anime, it's called Magical Girl Raising Project, the ending and opening songs are also iconic
Trigun stampede, 12 episodes absolutely beautiful 3danimation, same studio that did beast stars and its just a fun time in a sci-fi kind of world! Watched the original as well and there are some interesting connections not necessary to watch this show though!
There have been multiple people in here who have said a sign of affection but I do not think it would be up your alley. I could be wrong about that but the legality of the main love interest’s moves on a girl he does not know is questionable at best. It personally made me very uncomfortable and I had to drop it after 6 eps.
it pays off. as a woman it did give me slight anxiety but it pays of 10 fold.
Rainbow
Blue exorcist Tokyo ghoul Kono oto tomare! Your lie in April Fruit basket
Interspecies Reviewers Caused a huge storm because funimation licensed it without knowing what the show was about and than dropped it after 1 ep. Do to a joke it was also ranked number 1 anime on myanimlist for a bit. It's actually a really funny and well animated show about guys reviewing brothels. Highly recommend. Other than that I say. Golden Time. College age romcom with drama and a good story. Made by the same person who did Toradora
the way of the househusband. It has 15 episodes each less than 20 minutes. It is in Japanese, It’s about a yakuza who became a househusband. It is really funny
Banana fish! 24 episodes, action packed, backstabbing and conspiracies, but also great characters with lifelong trauma lol
they have reacted to this already.
Undead Girl Murder Farce. 13 eps and one of the gems from 2023. Has a good rating, good storyline, fight scenes, and fanservice moments. The opening is gas. Adorkable and DN will absolutely love it. DN mentioned he wanted to watch it a few weeks ago so I'm just putting it out there because I really love it as well. Please look into it and have faith in me Onegai 🙏
Let me rephrase According to the shows provided as example HEATS I recommend Hinamatsuri Kekkai Sensen Re:Creators Reincarnated as a Sword
Knights of Sidonia - 24 eps (2 season @ 12 ep each) - Top tier space battles in mechs with creepy but cute alien best girl - Won Kodansha and Seiun awards for best manga/best scifi
Magical Girl Spec-Ops: Asuka. It's basically your standard dark magical girl anime but every girl has guns or swords and fight on behalf of their country's special forces against their nation's enemies, which includes terrorists, cartels, and mafia, all of which now have magic weapons left over from the magical girl war. 13 episode anime, I rate it 8/10, lots of yuri, hard pg-13, maybe light R-rated fanservice and violence, no nipple shown (unfortunately) and every girl is a big tiddy lesbian except that Armenian bitch
TL:DR it's Sailor Moon combined with Black Lagoon
[Golden Time] - EPS: 24 -Language: Japanese - Hype: Really well done romances, great characters (COLLEGE STUDENTS), think this one adorkable wouldn't mind
This. Written by Toradora author but actually good
Sign of Affection (college romance, 12 ep, dope side characters, great animation , gets views on yt, released last season)
Kakegurui is an entertaining quick watch, other reactors seem to like it a lot as well. All about gambling with a lot of eccentric characters. 24 episodes all together I believe and you’ve probably seen the main character before since it was pretty popular when it was running. Gundam thunderbolt is short (like 6 episodes) and easy to binge. It’s a much more gritty gundam than the ones on the channel so far.
I second kakegurui.
Dark gathering. I think a little horror would be fun.
Whatever Macros is 6 episodes think it was 0 and why to watch it because fuck Harmony gold those sons of bitches
GOLDEN TIME (24 eps): Made by the same person who did Toradora but with actual COLLEGE STUDENTS also it has the same amount of “toxicity” you say you like from shows. Overall I believe it’ll be a great show to have good discussion with and just a good personal experience for you guys
This is actually a really good one, one of the best romance dramas ever made.
I’ll double on that Interspecies Reviewers rec. 12 eps, comedy/ecchi, basic premise is a party of bros that goes brothel hopping in a fantasy world learning how each race differs and reviews them. If you do watch it, get the uncensored version because it goes hard in the original cut. Nobody wants obnoxious censors everywhere.
War in the Pocket aka 0080 because the one you guys finished wasn't quite the entire Gundam experience or you can finish IBO think you had less than 25 episodes left I actually joined patreon originally for those reactions
Don't know if you've seen these, but: Fate/Zero. Great characters/story, great fight scenes and animation. Has some dark elements to it. First episode is a bit slow for setup and then the rest moves quickly! Haikyuu - even if you don't like sports, this show is very fun (and is the best sports anime I've seen). The animation and music really help invest you in the thrilling moments in these games and there is a lot of well-paced character development
They’ve done Haikyu, it’s a great watch!
Madoka Magica: just 12 episodes so the heat comes fast, Japanese, not an underrated anime since it has a huge following. There's a reason why this show is still talked about today in the magical girl genre. A quick "Madoka Magica reaction" search on YouTube shows videos about Madoka are still popular even now. Hard to say much without spoilers since even saying it's similar to "so and so" show seems spoilery, so my reason for watching is it's popular. This show is done by studio Shaft and it has some action / mystery in it. Zombieland Saga: 2 seasons, 12 episodes each. I don't think it takes long for this show to hook you either, 1/2 at most. As the title suggests, zombies. Although this show isn't really actiony, the animation is done by MAPPA so it doesn't miss.
Don't Forget the Movie for Madoka
25 episodes ? I know what time it is, it's time to push once again like a denegerate for Fate Zero since it's precisely 25 episodes (you could actually do a timer reaction only for Youtube to dodge copyright, and everything else checks ;). PS: ik u watched some part but it's worth it on every end, sole problem is to dodge copyright.
Grimgar: Fantasy and Ash 12 episodes so it’s quick You guys enjoyed Mushoku Tensei and it has similar elements to it so I think you’ll enjoy it.
This mfer... Im just kidding but I suggested it previously think I called it fantasy of Ash I need to get around to reading the LNs but my backlogs get in the way
Seirei Gensouki 12 episodes Isekai Main character is not afraid to kill if he needs to
Golden Time, 24 episodes, Originally Japanese Audio Since you like adult romcoms with fun plot devices and drama with adult characters and an adult story. Michiko & Hatchin, 22 Episodes, Originally Japanese Audio Thrilling, mature, action, suspense, extremely sexy melanated adult characters and fantastic plot. You will simp and not be disappointed.
So many based people with Golden Time. I’m so happy
Hinamatsuri (12 episodes) Really good comedy Sakurada Reset (24 episodes) Finished story, kinda remembers Summertime Rederer in a way and the first 3 episodes set a good mistery for the series (REALLY recomend this one)
Wotakoi (1 cour with a couple OVA's): Actual adults in an anime romcom that focuses a ton on okatu culture (manga, video games, etc). You guys seemed to really enjoy Horimiya and I would say its of a similar vein. The reactions have done well for Alana Misako and SOS on youtube. Tower of God: s2 probably gonna be the 2nd biggest show of the summer after Oshi no Ko
Kekkai Sensen (Blood Blockade Battlefront) 2 seasons of 12 episodes. It is action basically every episode and an okay plot. Idk what it would be similar to what you've watched before but it's a good show
I second Kekkai Sensen
There's black lagoon, which is about modern day pirates in the south China Sea. It plays more like a crime drama than your typical anime. It jumps into the action *very* quickly. Only thing is, it's two seasons of like 24 episodes but also has a 5 episode OVA that I suppose you could skip if 25 episodes is a hard limit.
one of the few shows that i actually enjoyed the dub more than the sub. it was hilarious
Re: Creators A different take on reverse Isekai Too good for discussions
Anyway, did you use any SEO tools such as TubeBuddy to help you get more traction (viewer)? If you use TubeBuddy, you can check how many of your video tags (keyword) gets searched for.
Shows to watch: [Tower of God] - EPS: 13 (S2 this year) -Language: Japanese (based on Korean Manwha) - Hype: Its a show that mixes great hype fighting moments combined with a intricate plot which will satisfy all your needs (especially the characters) - Economics: popular show with a consistent fanbase (good views on YT) [Domestic Girlfriend] -EPS: 12 -Language: Japanese -Hype: Insane story/plot, great females and love story a timeless classic of the anime world and is with MATURE women (THEY ARE IN COLLEGE) -Economics: Shock factor
Grimgrar fantasy of ash ( I think that was the name) as for why to react its an isekai and I like its world building also maybe feet (I don't remember its been awhile but its a possibility Lee should watch the whole show to find out)
The case studies of vanitas, it’s Japanese original language, it’s been popular lately with Danny motta posting a reaction on it a week ago with great numbers. Also other reactors like joe, Roshi and are:animated reacted to it & loved it. It’s good because it’s kinda different from any anime y’all have watched before a great blend of action, complex story, different characters and romance. 24episodes and less than 2 years old as well.
Also would love too use my upper tier on this if I could. idk how it works but if I can use it I would love too
Re:Monster... It's got Reincarnated as a Slime vibes, but dialed up to 11 & the protag is DEFINITELY not genderless nor is his urges suppressed in any way. 😂I think that you and your audience will enjoy it.
Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid One of the best work of Kyoani’s . Comedy,Wholesome,Action, 2 seasons
I vouch for this one
Re:Monster is like a more darker Reincarnated like a slime.
Odd Taxi
I'm still trying to get "Fruit of Grisaia" up on this Patreon Channel but it's 23 eps I think
fruit of grisaia the visual novel is number 1 in my list over the fate series. But the anime speeds through the material and I did not get attached to any characters in the anime it was sad how they adapted it that's just my opinion.
Katanagatari I mean I like it episodes are a bit longer think around 40 mins or so but its only 12 episodes I think so it should fit the criteria also I think its by the author of the Monogatari series
Katanagatari is amazing, was gonna recommend this myself. Good action, some comedy, nice characters.
Odd Taxi Inuyashiki Uncle From Another World Handyman Saitou Trigun Stampede Not sure if you've seen any of these. I see that we have similar taste in anime and these hit the "Out of nowhere" amazing ones. Haven't been subscribed for too long so I'd have to go an see what you've finished or dropped. They are less than 23 episodes, Uncle & Handman do have some fan service. Odd Taxi for me is in my top 5 10/10 Animes. Inuyashiki is a gem that was overshadowed by many other great animes during it's release. Trigun was amazing. It gets shit on due to the CGI is bad and "Trigun NEEDS to be like this and that." For a setup to the original Trigun, I loved it.
Uncle From Another World is already recorded here btw
Viral Hit, similar to Wind Breaker but different and also similar to Weak Hero Class 1, it also in the same universe as Lookism. Only 12 episodes if I'm not mistaken. Sand Land also good since it is based on Akira Toriyama's manga with the same name and it only have 13 episodes. Mission: Yozakura Family, it similar to Spy x Family yet different and it also have 12 episodes only. I think you guys might enjoy these 3 animes.
They are currently already reacting to kaiju no 8
Asobi Asobase(12 episodes) Hinamatsuri (12 episodes) Since u guys enjoy GrandBlue These shows wont disappoint and its Comedy Gold
Vouch for Hinamatsuri
Im dfinitely going to have to think hard about a reccomendation that meets the criteria you guys have and that is also 25 eps or under 😂 all the shows coming to my mind are 25+ lmao
thank you lol
I’ll recommend Sandland. Manga was Made by Akira Toriyama before he made dragon ball. 13 episodes will be the total. It’s still airing. Pretty heat imo. GREAT animation. Interesting plot and world. Idk what’s considered good views but Roshi got 30k on YT for the first episode. Edit. Saw someone say Interspecies Reviewers and that’s funny as hell imo but will be hard as hell to put on YT. That one would either be on own time or Patreon only unless you edit the hell out of it. Very lewd
thank you
It hurts not to see slime in this list
Have to agree on that.. but I can understand why.. so many fans spoil the crap out of it and ruin the entertainment of blindly figuring stuff out. As for me, I read all the light novels beforehand
Mieruko-chan -less than 25 episodes -horror (real shit) -comedy -supernatural elements -good for discussion -random 👀shots(you’ll see)
An extremely underrated anime, that I never hear about, and I'm not even sure any reactors I watch have even watched it, but because you mentioned economics, I will recommend it anyway. It's called C:Control for short, the full name is C: The Money Of Soul And Possibility Control, and it basically makes economics personified and makes it completely action centered, by some impossible way.. I'd just love for someone I enjoy watching try watching it as well and for them to also end up liking this hidden gem..
extremely underrated...i see...I thank you
A sign of affection. College romance and the main girl is deaf, all around wholesomeness, and I think you'll like it since you enjoyed the dangers in my heart.
Interspecies Reviewers, Its great with alot of diversity. Duo for sure!
bro this would funny asl
About to recommend an anime with reasons and gave up cos of Rule no 1😓
i respect that
I know sweet and wholesome is hard to recommend. But you did enjoy Dangers and My lvl 999 love story with yamada-kun. In light of those 2 shows I recommend “A sign of affection”. Main character is a girl who’s deaf learning about love for the first time. The show has actual sign language in it too. It came out last season with only 12 episodes
Dangers in my heart is listed in Anime heat, so thats correct, i guess it is wholesome along with My Love Story 99 but i categorize them as romance shows...and i like those. I think your distinction is important...but tha
When you say any anime do you mean like new ones. Or even fairly old ones are fair game as long as it’s got good following?
1. Can recommend any anime that is 25 episodes or less in length.
Gonna have to ponder on this
