New Anime added to the schedule I added an explanation for copyright strict shows since people keep repeating the same talking points overtime
🔥 NEW ANIME JUST LOCKED IN 🔥
Cinderella Grey and To your eternity is a copyright strict show.
We’re adding 4 heavy hitters to the schedule:
Ranma
One Punch Man
My Hero Academia
Let This Grieving Soul Retire
Whether I LOVE an anime or not doesn’t decide if it makes the cut (aside from Shield Hero this quarter, lol). It’s all about what The Collective wants the most.
I’m an ENTJ—my decisions are straight data-driven. Here’s what I look at:
Comments & Likes → what y’all vibe with
Patreon → back-end numbers don’t lie
YouTube → views, subs, comments
Recommendations → spotting common overlaps
Twitter/X → if I keep getting tagged, that’s a trend (ex: Gachiakuta, Takopi’s Original Sin)

QUEYA!!
EDIT* below
It all comes back to this: The Collective Audience.
New supporters don’t just stumble across Patreon—they find us on YouTube first. Almost every single patron joined after watching us here. A YouTube community post isn’t enough to spread the word.
So I have two options:
1. Put a series on YouTube → it reaches The Collective, grows our Patreon naturally, and compounds over time.
2. Keep a series only on Patreon → it never reaches new people, it stagnates, and it doesn’t serve the bigger audience.
And because Patreon always has people joining and leaving, growth only works if we keep expanding. If we don’t bring in new people, we fall behind.
Think about it:
Would you rather have a series that gets 5,000 views on YouTube, touches more of The Collective, and naturally attracts new patrons…
Or a series that gets zero views outside Patreon, doesn’t grow the community, and eventually fades?
Timer reactions are whack—they don’t get the same support, and I’m not interested in jumping through hoops and ladders just to make something harder than it needs to be. There are too many other shows with less barriers that will reach more people and serve a wider range of The Collective.
At the end of the day, my strategy doesn’t change:
1. Serve as many people as possible in The Collective Audience.
2. Prioritize what The Collective wants most.
The bigger we are, the more people we can reach with our reactions, and the more entertainment we can share. That’s the real goal—growth not just for us, but for everyone in The Collective who supports us.

Maybe keep an eye out for "A Wild Last Boss Appeared", episode 1 so far was really interesting and cant wait for more episodes. I hope more people will mention it, so that it makes it onto your list.
Can we please get one piece movie stampede this year
ASAP
Always appreciate and respect the amount of effort you put into communication with your audience. Also happy Ranma has stayed up there on the list, I genuinely enjoyed your reactions and rewatched your uploads recently in prep for S2. Okay glazing over 👌
Thank you
What about Gachiakuta? Roshi and them didn’t seem to be aware that it wasn’t ending yet so I wanted to check with you guys because it is 24 episodes in case you didn’t know.
Thank you
Hey man. Please don’t turn your back on Oguri Cap man.
I know you’re kind of trolling but to be clear this is not really my choice. The studio has made the decision to strike channels or compensate people for striking the channel that covers that series. They have indicated directly or indirectly that they do not want channel is to cover their series and if they do there’s a risk to the channels.
Gonna be hoping for Chitose in the ramune bottle reactions🙏
This is just unsolicited advice so take with a grain of salt. I think considering an episode 1 splatter shot approach could eventually be worth looking into. Aside from the hitters, take a pool of decent looking shows, put up episode 1. If it hits continue, if not drop. Tell them in the video if it doesn’t hit a threshold it’s gone so they can’t bitch. This way you aren’t three weeks behind the algo waiting for data. Just a thought. Will be here supporting regardless
Thank you. And that makes sense
I had no idea" Let This Grieving Soul Retire" S2 comes out in oct so I'm happy XD
It's "Cour 2", so it is still considered Season 1. Cour is simply to denote there is a break in the season, typically due to things like slot availability or budget. Given the better quality of the series, but smaller studio, the reason's probably the former.
Wait have yall done one punch man before or is this gonna be fresh from season one.
We have watched one Punch Man on our own time I was already a fan of that show before we started a reaction channel
Let this Grieving Soul Peak! Idk why I love that anime so much and it came out of nowhere for me. Getting close enough for me to be picking up the LN
Probably because you either like Eminence in Shadow and/or enjoy misunderstanding anime. Krai and Cid are like foils to each other. Cid: weak publicly, strong secretly, and strives for strength. Krai: strong publicly, weak secretly, and strives for retirement. Both can literally say anything, somehow be right, and their supporters think so highly of them. Or you just Delta/Liz, who are voiced by the same person. "Sasuga, Boss!" - Delta "Sasuga, Krai-chan!" -Liz
No Spy Family and To your Eternity? I figured those would be heavy hitters too
I haven’t added any of the copyright strict shows so early on the schedule
Give us some donghua like Renegade Immortal 😏
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it ha ha I’ll be paying attention to what you guys comment
Based continuations. The absolute best YBR channel. Rock Lee might've dropped the training weights, but never the quality of this channel
