IT WON! Anime Poll Clevatess Season 2 — still the theme, or we switch the party

It’s on the Schedule and will start posting next week , I’m not sure about folks on YouTube. I have not allocated a budget for it.

it was an under performer

We already covered Clevatess Season 1. Season 2 just finished. Season 1 didn’t really catch fire online, so we didn’t auto-hop into S2.

Looking at the new anime season, I’m not seeing a ton of “everybody’s talking about this” shows I’m locked on either — so I’m thinking about picking up Clevatess Season 2 instead of grabbing a random new title just because it’s new. But this channel is a group hang. If y’all want to watch it, we watch it.

If you’re not interested, we don’t force it. I know some people feel like if you started something, you’re supposed to finish it or it was a waste. I’ve seen that energy on Ben 10 too.

My take is simpler: Think of me as the host. My job is to entertain as many people as possible and keep as many people happy as possible. If I’m planning a costume party and only two people are gonna show up in costume… am I still throwing a full costume party? Probably not.

I might switch the theme so more of the room actually wants to come through the door. And “but we’ve been doing this for years” isn’t enough reason to keep doing it the same way.

That’s literally how Blockbuster and Kodak got left behind — the world moved, the audience changed what they preferred, and “we’ve always done it this way” didn’t save them.

Adapting isn’t quitting. It’s paying attention. Same energy here. Just because we started with one activity doesn’t mean we keep running that activity if the room isn’t showing up for it. If it were only up to me, I’ve got a TV downstairs and I’ll always finish whatever I’m personally missing. Me and my wife already watch anime on our own time when it’s for us and not for the group. But for the channel, I’m trying to plan fun stuff people actually want to participate in.

So I’m asking, for real:

• Keep / pick up Clevatess Season 2

• Skip Clevatess Season 2 — let’s switch the theme • I don’t care, we watch whatever you post No wrong answer. I just want to know if the room’s still down before we set the next hang.

Thank y’all.

Sidenote, I am not guided by emotional decisions. That’s why I’m haunted by the fact that I do not cry very often in a reaction or that my reaction is very inappropriate to the emotional scene.

My reactions to emotional scenes are a learnt attribute. I generally just shut the F up when sad stuff happening. . Lol.

Season 2 has been straight heat with only one 'meh episode'. The reveal of Write completely changes everything.

I think you'll like it, it's got some punch to it that I think the group will enjoy. But to your point, I don't think it will draw a huge audience. It's a bit slept on with the other big names airing at the same time, and people who are interested have already watched it while airing. From a financial/growth perspective there are probably better options.

Clevatess Season 2 was more world building. In my opinion it slowed down a bit. Which is why I voted "don't care"

honestly even though i really like season 2 I'd personally want something else to fill that slot because its not a show I watch reactions of like that and there's so many better things coming up

Now that the voting is over, I’ll tell you a little more information you wouldn’t have got anything to fill that spot Erza does Asian dramas It doesn’t matter of taking her away from that to do this anime or not. Directornasty hasn’t seen it and I could have done it solo but wouldn’t But if I have explained that I would’ve probably affected how people voted

Season 2 was actually pretty sick.

The season has been good so far, but it's not a show I seek out to get reactions to like shows with hype/dramatic moments.

Makes sense

Fyi Lee, Clevatess S2 hasn't finished yet. There're 2 more episodes to go

Did you ask Roshi since he’s doing it while it’s currently airing

Y
YaBoyRockLee Reactions · September 23, 2026

Mmmm. Yo Daniel. Sup man. Ask him what? If the Yaboyrocklee community is interested in these reactions or if the Yaboyrocklee community would rather us react to something else?

Personally, I'd hold off and keep a placeholder spot open for this upcoming season. I know you have your stuff picked out but there's always a show that breaks out from out of nowhere. I thought Clevatess S2 was okay but I'm more excited to watch something new.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions · September 23, 2026

Thank you for your feedback. That’s what I’m putting this out there to hear.

Will it be reacted to with your wife? I loved your guys reactions together for Clevatess. Also you’re right Fall is looking kind of empty for me too. I could definitely see it being a time to pick up some older anime instead.

YaBoyRockLee Reactions · September 23, 2026

Yuuup. Yeah, generally, I stick with the same person I started with so it would be with her.

I'm really enjoying S2 and I think you guys will too. It went in a direction no one expected from an academy arc. 🤔
