Link found here... https://yaboyrocklee.com/schedule/upcoming-shows-for-yaboyrocklee-to-look-out-for/?swcfpc=1
Not looking for suggestions of shows that have already aired....
Not looking for old shows on this post...not looking for a show that came out last quarter for this post...we covered all the heat.
I will circle back for older shows on a later post.

Other than the Guaranteed picks I really do wanna see the Dr. Stone reaction out of the things on there.
Thank you
Release that witch? It’s Chinese though, seems pretty cool. 4 episodes in and it’s ongoing. Vinland saga vibe on the artstyle. The OP and ED be kinda lacking tho
Thanks for the warning I didn’t realize it was already out I’ll probably end up skipping it then cause I barely heard any hype about it
The four I would most enjoy (and would end up watching on my own if you didn't post) are Slime, Wistoria, Angel, and Dr Stone. I'm def down for a romcom if you did one tho
I highly recommend watching the latest Re Zero season. Classroom of the elite if your caught up. Witch Hat Atelier has potential especially in views. And as a more niche pick. Needy Girl Overdose. It’s based off of a visual novel.
You already have witch hat atelier and marriagetoxin I would add Daemons of the shadow realm (FMA mangaka) Also, personally i really liked the manga for Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess, but I am not sure how many views your channel gets for the villainess otome isekai genre
My top five in the list would be 1. I Want to End This Love Game 2. Second Prettiest Girl in Class 3. Ramparts of Ice (same author as Polar Opposites) 4. My Angel Next Door S2 5. With Hat Atlier Though to be honest I would probably watch you react to any of the shows on this list, so these are just the ones that are my preferences
Akane-banashi is absolutely gonna be the sleeper hit of the season, the manga RULES and the amount of effort going into the anime adaptation (it's got killer animation, BIG name voice actors, AND the voice actors all went to get special training for the specific type of performances they're going to need to give in this anime) is incredibly promising. Witch Hat Atelier is also getting a lot of hype, so worth jumping on that train too, but I think if you react to Akane-banashi you're going to be some of the first mainstream reactors to give it a shot and I suspect you're gonna get a lot of engagement
Sleeper hit? What does that mean?
Witch Hat Atelier. Loved the manga, hope the adaptation is good.
One Piece anime returns April 5th with the Elbaf arc
*sighs* on a Sunday again 😭😭😭. That time slot be killing me. Lol. Thank you. Will cover it. No brainer for us.
WItch Hat Atelier might be cooking.
If were strictly limiting to brand new shows i would suggest: - Marriage Toxin (Already on your target list) - Liar Game (Death Game, so can be hit or miss) - Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy (Trailer looked funny but producer is Kings Records, so high chance videos get striked) - Needy Girl Overdose (Psychological, Trailer looked really interesting) - Petals of Reincarnation Regarding "Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" and "Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku?!" which are already on your list, i would suggest you choose only one of those because from the trailers it looks like that both are love triangle storys. Additionally "Second Prettiest Girl.." seems pretty generic. "Gals Can’t Be..." in comparison seems to have more comedy and enjoyable characters. But i can be wrong, since i only watched the trailers for it.
Thanks
Danmachi
They already reacted to Danmachi, and it looks like Wistoria S2 is a lock which it should be :D
Top 10 shows I'd love to see reactions for Ramparts of Ice Witch Hat Atelier Second Prettiest girl in my class Marriagetoxin Gals cant be kind to Otaku I want to end this love game Kirio fan club Angel next door s2 Dr. Stone Misadventures of a Self Proclaimed Villainess
Watching everything you're posting as well as Angel Next Door which is a hard maybe for you and Rent a GF S5, you'll get there soon enough
"Daemons of the Shadow Realm" is from the FMAB creator "Akane-banashi" I know a lot of people that absolutely adore this manga. Not gonna be shocked if it ends up the highest rated anime this season after Witch Hat "Mao" is from the same creator as Ranma, InuYasha, and Uresei "Dandelion" is a real short series from the creator of Gintama "Dorohedoro" s2 but I guess I never realized yall didn't watch s1
Thanks, Lee. Seems to be consistent with stuff from the Patreon chat. There's a couple of degen shows that could be a react for the higher tier that I think some folks already called out in Discord (complete with good pics :))
I haven’t seen it honestly. I read discord less. Sometimes i find it’s better to avoid it unless someone is talking to me. Folks like to talk about Lee but when Lee clarifies, Lee cant take a joke lol. So Lee lets yall have fun in peace
Farming life in another world is honestly really good. As for everything else, I'm looking forward to the upcoming slate for this season especially Slime! But I think I am looking forward to wistoria just as much as slime.
Funnily enough I watched a video of Director reacting to Gigguk's video about Witch Hat and he was pumped about it and already getting into the shows themes and magic system based off Gigguks description, should be a fun reaction. https://youtu.be/xVXbxvgjRQ4
Nice
Both "Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku?!" and "Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" story wise are good. I have read both and can confirm as a romcom. However not sure if the studio adapting them will do a good job or not. I'll be giving them a 3 ep rules and decide from there whether to suggest for reaction or not.
thank you
Rimuru Rimuru Rimuru Your lack of faith have been noticed Lee-San 👁👄👁 Tensura: Coleus Dream Tensura: Crimson bonds Tensura: S4 Half past 12 and I'm watching the late show In my flat all alone How I hate to spend the evening on my own Autumn winds blowing outside the window As I look around the room And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom There's not a soul out there No one to hear my prayer Gimme, gimme, gimme Slime after midnight Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? Gimme, gimme, gimme Slime after midnight Take me through the darkness to the break of the day LMFAO
thank you
I'm looking forward to: Ramparts of Ice, Witch Hat Atlier, Daemon's, Agents of Spring and a lot of returning shows like: Angel Spoils me Rotten, Farming in another life, Vending Machine, Slime and Dr. Stone. So many shows to keep me entertained
thank you
farming life is probably my favorite anime besides campfire cooking. i think you guys might like it....oh wait zabuton :D poor director...... the first episode is a bit slow, but it picks up a bit after that. just be forewarned its not an action oriented story. its more a community building story kinda like slime isekai, but in a different way. you're gal might enjoy it though.
thank you
Farming life in another world S1 is one of the high tier slice of life out there..I know you haven´t seen S1 yet.....
thank oyu
"Daemons of the shadow realm" is a new show made by the same creator of full metal alchemist.
thank you
Are you guys watching the new Baki season?
I dont know. Not really focused on shows that have already been released that flew under the radar at this point
Reminder The Ramparts of Ice is from polar opposites author
thank you (i'm following yall interest not really a particular writer or author)
Where's the DOUBLE asterisk for TBATE season 2? I need a whole cour of Lee laughing then deadpan disappointment faces again, with him being a manwha source reader And at the rate Lee's speedrunning it, I'm surprised no mention of the 'spiciest' anime airing -> Rent a Girlfriend entering it's 5th season of peak, only available on the premium solo backalley tier ofc Also at least have your 'one eyed snake' open for tigole biddie Yowayowa Sensei too
THERE IS 5 SEASONS OF THAT SHOW DAYUM XD
I have read Marriagetoxin, and it's pretty good. Good Shonen type with actual Adults is always a nice breath of fresh air.
Considering what you already have your maybe list, I'd say keep tabs on Liar Game and Needy Girl Overdose. From what I know about NGO in particular, it could be a hit, but you could wait and see how they both perform on other channels first. And yeah, I fully expect Witch Hat to pop off and Love Game to a lesser extent for the romance crowd.
I just went on your link for all your upcoming anime. There is not really one that I would suggest that doesn't have a first season that you haven't watched. I'm also really happy that you're giving a hard maybe to the angel next door because I really loved that anime and I really liked the reaction that you and director had with it. So if you do it, I will be super happy if you don't then that just means that there wasn't enough room for it, and maybe in the future.
My recommendations: Marriagetoxin Witch Hat Atelier Second Prettiest Girl in My Class Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku?!
