🔴VOTE for Next Tier 3 Anime
Added 2025-03-21 17:30:41 +0000 UTCWe’ve finished The Eminence in Shadow, and now it’s time to vote for the next show in the DAD tier! These six series were the most suggested over the past few Eminence posts and are lined up as the next potential watch.
One Punch Man is also wrapping up soon, so a comedy like Kaguya could be in the mix to replace it. But ultimately, the choice is yours—the community gets to decide!
Thank you all for being here!

space dandy deserves a reaction.. so many good episodes, so much good music that he would eat up.. he should honest watch every Shinichirō Watanabe anime. it just simply lost due to not being as popular of a pick. a shame

2025-03-25 00:28:32 +0000 UTCtbf, at least in regards to that, there is some truth to it, even if he were to watch everything in the poll from most popular to least, it will be literal months if not years before he would move out the top 2, and the way the polls work, with people posting what should replace a show in the comments, it is entirely likely for a show to not show up again, recency bias and all that, either way though it will be interesting to see how tony handle his first high school rom com

2025-03-24 05:25:47 +0000 UTCi mean, ive seen some grown ass people acting the fool, in fact anyone whos worked retail, or customer service will have it be there literal job.
Red Menace
2025-03-24 05:23:40 +0000 UTCBesides Makeine (haven't watched it), I believe all the shows on this list are class on their own right. I didn't even consider OPM ending could be replaced by another funny show from here! If you'd consider it, depending on what the second place is, I'd highly recommend Kaguya-sama as a replacement for OPM and either Prison School or Kill La Kill for the cringe tier (Kill La Kill is winning 2nd place atm).
Unbeknownst Man
2025-03-23 03:05:50 +0000 UTCHe ask for something in line with Konosuba or HSOTD so to see Prison School loosing hurts my soul

2025-03-23 01:18:26 +0000 UTCkaguya-sama is peak petty highschooler feelings
NoEcho
2025-03-23 00:08:53 +0000 UTCSome people act like if Kaguya wins none of the other shows will ever be on the Patreon
peeps
2025-03-22 23:07:10 +0000 UTCWe can be a lot more civil when you eliminate all the 14 year olds!
SimplySora
2025-03-22 19:02:59 +0000 UTClol, i love how this has somehow become one of the, if not the, most commented on, contentious(without necessarily being rude) posts, on like, the WHOLE patreon LOL anime fans being passionate and such, when not toxic, is always a site to see!
Red Menace
2025-03-22 17:15:56 +0000 UTCya, but again, its subjective, while i personally do think he might, keyword MIGHT, not like kaguya, that also implies that he might, once again keyword MIGHT, like it as well, he hasn't really done well with kid stuff, or things aimed at teenagers and below, it will be interesting, i give it 60/40 odds against, ie 60 that he won't like, 40 that he will like.
Red Menace
2025-03-22 17:12:06 +0000 UTC@drumrolltony i will say, this is one of the shows where the dub and sub are both quality, the thing with the dub is that the jokes, cause its a comedy anime, are much more localized to american/western, whereas alot of the jokes in the sub are more japanese centric, i wouldn't say that its 2 shows wiht the same visuals, but it is a different experience lol, either way is great though.
Red Menace
2025-03-22 17:08:47 +0000 UTCI absolutely love Kaguya-sama and I would LOVE to see a react, but isn't tier 3 the degen tier ? Because it's not degen at all...
Refia
2025-03-22 17:00:55 +0000 UTC1. You never know. 2. Idk if you're talking about the other polls. But this is kinda the point of the Tier 3 "Cringe" polls, recommending things outside the comfort zone.
Lixien
2025-03-22 06:05:17 +0000 UTCHere's hoping whatever wins Tony has a good time. DAD has requested quality cringe
Nick K
2025-03-22 05:42:58 +0000 UTCWhy do you assume that he wouldn't like one of the most successful comedy anime ever made? Especially if you like it.
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-22 04:48:01 +0000 UTCIf it wins I'll do the original voices don't worry
DrumRollTony
2025-03-22 04:31:30 +0000 UTCNO, please no dubs, the acting of the japanese voice actors is way too good to go with a dub that has like 2 good scenes lol.
Drow1270
2025-03-22 04:30:24 +0000 UTChard disagree on that one
Isaac Noël
2025-03-22 03:26:08 +0000 UTCKaguya-sama is top tier entertainment
Isaac Noël
2025-03-22 03:25:55 +0000 UTCI will never not be confused how some of these shows end up on the polls. I know why the viewers like them (myself included) but I just cannot imagine suggesting some of them for Tony. Not super confident Kaguya will last in the rotation but maybe I'll be wrong.
Dillon Irish
2025-03-22 02:34:13 +0000 UTCIf Kaguya wins, highly recommend the dub
Sam
2025-03-22 02:32:06 +0000 UTCFor real, he seemed to have really liked it so far and I think he would strongly like the rest of the show. Now that the Holy Kingdom movie will be online soon it will be VERY fun to see his reaction to that lol
Ainz Ooal Gown
2025-03-22 01:59:03 +0000 UTCI definitely agree. I wouldn’t really consider Kaguya cringe tier per se but I still am looking forward to Tony’s reactions.
Silver Altomare
2025-03-22 01:38:03 +0000 UTCGurren Lagann is peak cinema full of action, Tony would absolutely love it!.. or at least I think so.
Baka
2025-03-21 23:36:25 +0000 UTCWas really hoping for Prison School lmao
Richard
2025-03-21 23:33:51 +0000 UTCThe shows he hasn't liked so far have been because they are boring, and the shows he has liked have been funny.
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-21 23:20:55 +0000 UTCKill la Kill is peak degen tier material (and also just plain peak). Kaguya definitely fits better in the OPM slot, but I'm happy to see either! Maybe both?
Ryan Pitcher
2025-03-21 23:08:53 +0000 UTCI heavily heavily advice against Love is War, sorry democracy :( IMO this isn't a good list >.<. Kill la Kill is prob the best but Gurren Lagann (kinda like an older brother to kill la kill) is so much better and I don't know if you'll like Gurren Lagann tbh
Fuji Nami
2025-03-21 23:03:09 +0000 UTCTony would love space dandy come on :'(
Sebastien Alexander
2025-03-21 22:12:56 +0000 UTCYeah I don't think Tony would enjoy Kaguya, makeine (or any school room com). But I might be wrong
kinetic98
2025-03-21 21:48:49 +0000 UTCI hope when a regular tier opens up Overlord is back in consideration.
Kosse K
2025-03-21 21:26:31 +0000 UTCKaguya-Sama is one of my favorite shows of all time but I do sort of agree with the folks saying there's not really anything in it that warrants the show being on the cringe/degen tier. It's all a matter of perspective though, to someone that has never seen a romance anime some of tropes may come off as quite cringe and there is a single episode that if you know you know absolutely belongs on the degen tier. I'm more then happy to see Kaguya-Sama get voted on regardless of what tier it's in though.
peeps
2025-03-21 20:37:16 +0000 UTCi think kaguya getting the win because its apparently a really good romance/comedy anime, if thats ok then go for it, but i dont think its cringe
TheGoblerTrainsMovinIn
2025-03-21 20:26:48 +0000 UTCwe must remember to go prison school next time, but i cant not vote for kaguya
MGC
2025-03-21 19:44:34 +0000 UTCIt’s a cringe anime for different people who aren’t used to watching romcoms that tend to come with “uncomfortable” tropes. However this is the first time a Romcom like this will win, who knows it might not be cringe enough since Kaguya also has a great story.
Sarai
2025-03-21 19:38:19 +0000 UTCDangers in my heart is so good
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-21 19:34:20 +0000 UTCKaguya was cringy for me. It’s hilarious and adds a nice amount of character development, however, there’s some times where I definitely wanted to cover my eyes in shame xD
Sarai
2025-03-21 19:31:08 +0000 UTCDefinitely a show he would enjoy. Hope to see him react one day lol
Alejandro Pupo
2025-03-21 19:30:04 +0000 UTCbut if this was meant to be a romance anime tier then I understand why it will win 👌
akRomulus
2025-03-21 19:23:56 +0000 UTCIf you’re looking for HSOTD level cringe then prison school has it. Kaguya is more tame and in my opinion I didn’t find it very cringe 🤔
akRomulus
2025-03-21 19:22:28 +0000 UTCHe does generally watch OVAs, lol
Tan11
2025-03-21 19:09:38 +0000 UTCKaguya is actually good, like seriously. At least I think so lol. One of the only romance anime I both liked and found really funny (one episode in particular is in my all time favorites). The other anime I’d put in a similar category of being great romance is The Dangers in My Heart, tho that one is less funny and more endearing to me. Anyway Kaguya is super popular for a reason so it’s definitely winning this one lol. We’ll see if Tony likes it, will definitely help weed out some others if he doesn’t
Chelly
2025-03-21 19:04:02 +0000 UTCI mean I don't like Kaguya because it's relatable, I like it because it's absurd and hilarious.
Tan11
2025-03-21 18:54:37 +0000 UTCI honestly don’t know why people are upset that’s it’s on the poll. Kaguya has a better chance in this poll as opposed to the regular one. He may not enjoy it but this tier is still pretty new and He hasn’t watched a romcom before. It’s a great opportunity to see if he vibes with this kind of anime.
Sarai
2025-03-21 18:54:02 +0000 UTCWhat? No way, orginal japanese cast was absolutely godlike!
Baka
2025-03-21 18:53:01 +0000 UTCPlease no dub. Sub is perfect in every way
Sk dragon
2025-03-21 18:52:38 +0000 UTC+1 to sub
Loayza
2025-03-21 18:51:48 +0000 UTCNah the dub is nowhere near the sub, ESPECIALLY the narrator
Ster_arch_13
2025-03-21 18:49:20 +0000 UTCAbsolutely not, the English dub has some great moments for sure, but the sub is on another level of absolute classic.
Tan11
2025-03-21 18:49:04 +0000 UTCi vote for the SUB!
Sk dragon
2025-03-21 18:48:24 +0000 UTCIf you all want Kaguya just for the narrator, PICK SPACE DANDY THEN. it's literally the same guy with a stronger cast and script
AntonJ0™
2025-03-21 18:48:19 +0000 UTCI agree! sure the sub is good (but people tend to glorify subs too much) but the Dub is just special in so many ways. And no, it’s not just the English narrator’s VA, the other English cast also does a good job.
Sarai
2025-03-21 18:43:06 +0000 UTCSaying the rest of the cast is weak is crazy
SimplySora
2025-03-21 18:41:31 +0000 UTCFunny you say that cuz I was watching your eminence reactions to fall asleep, worked great
Klarin Black
2025-03-21 18:35:57 +0000 UTCThe English dub for Kaguya is god tier. I don't think I would of every watched this series if it wasn't for Ian Sinclair performance as the narrator
Richard Butler
2025-03-21 18:32:55 +0000 UTCman i see what tony means about sometimes this turns into anime twitter, whether kaguya is cringe or not is irrelevant, also whether people are just saying to add kaguya because they want tony to watch it, regardless of tier is irrelevant, its on this vote, its going to win, don't think tony will like it but am curious to see his reaction, is still super funny.
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:31:05 +0000 UTCLOL absolutely! either way though kaguya is going tow in by a country mile, im just worried tony might not like it, as he was a high school teacher, and seeing an animeified high school romance doesn't seem like something he would like, i wonder if he is doing the 3 ep rule for this?
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:27:12 +0000 UTCI think eminence is the bad kind of cringe where it just becomes kind of boring. But also consider that to the average Shonen anime fan there's nothing more cringe than watching a rom com. Suggest a rom com to your most normie friend who only watches attack on titan and demon slayer and then tell me the look they give you doesn't make you cringe
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-21 18:25:53 +0000 UTCIf Eminence was cringe it must have been a snooze fest version of cringe because it was the equivalent of taking Nyquil before bed. Literally, sleep-inducing. HSOTD at least was funny af
DrumRollTony
2025-03-21 18:24:37 +0000 UTCBig disagree, the rest of the cast is pretty weak and I think the English narrator is too like, reddit-millenial humor, idk I think it's funny in a tiktok but it's grating for the whole series. Also the japanese cast is incredible
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-21 18:24:32 +0000 UTCthe problem is that cringe is so subjective, because everything that tony has watched both could be and not be cringe, however its really up to tony wether he likes it or not, i wonder if he will do his 3 ep rule here?
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:24:31 +0000 UTCKaguya-sama needs to be watched in English dub just for the narrator alone. He takes the humor to the next level.
Lora
2025-03-21 18:22:42 +0000 UTCLUL could you imagine.. thats actually something i think tony would probably enjoyo
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:22:34 +0000 UTCoh teenage romance is cringe irl, when you animefi it it just get more lol, but i think its the context of teh other "cringe" shows, like eminence in shadow, and high school DXD, which are cringe in a whole different way, and if you want to be technical like 95% of anime is cringe to a western audience, mob is cringe, AOT has cringe moments. however given tony's stated interests i don't think he will l ike it, good show though.
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:22:10 +0000 UTCehhh, i both agree and dis-agree wiht you, what it really comes down to is how you define cringe, because at the end of the day kaguya is a teenage romantic comedy, turned up to 11, and teenage romance, at least when i was one, is cringe naturally lol. BUT if you compare it to, say, highschool of the dead, eminence in shadow, then cringe really means something else, either way i dont think tony will like it, but its a great show, though im trying to remember what parts you wouldn't watch with someone else?
Red Menace
2025-03-21 18:20:13 +0000 UTCHeh, true
Baka
2025-03-21 18:17:19 +0000 UTCThen dont vote for it? It WAS suggested over and over
DrumRollTony
2025-03-21 18:16:55 +0000 UTCPeople saying Kaguya isn’t cringe their gotta chill out not everyone is desensitized to that aspect of anime like we are. You would NOT watch that around others most of the time
SimplySora
2025-03-21 18:10:37 +0000 UTCKaguya will win this without a doubt. Great show but I don't think it should be in this tier. Unless the OVA is involved lmao
Szayel H
2025-03-21 18:02:13 +0000 UTCIt is funny to see people not understanding that something that is not cringe for them does not necessarily mean it will not be cringe for others. Remember what happened with Rezero and FMAB? Anime that many recommended as supposed masterpieces. How safe is it to say that Tony won't cringe watching a romcom yet he hasn't seen one? Remember this tier is for Tony to cringe, not for you to lol
Loayza
2025-03-21 17:58:18 +0000 UTCI'm just happy Space Dandy is on the list lol. People might even vote for it one day.
Thevenomous
2025-03-21 17:54:22 +0000 UTCDisagree, the entire joke of the rom coms is secondhand embarrassment about how awkward the characters are, definition of cringe. Cringe does not mean just horny, or whatever eminence is
JoeyGuy7
2025-03-21 17:54:08 +0000 UTCDid not know that good to know
Alejandro Pupo
2025-03-21 17:51:13 +0000 UTCNo longer cringe tier
Makima
2025-03-21 17:50:53 +0000 UTCI mean that’s what the tier originally was meant for, in case you weren’t around when it was discussed in the discord, but yeah, putting a show there that would probably win a Normal poll in with shows that essentially only have a place in tier 3 is probably suboptimal. But whatever, If we get Kaguya I’m happy either way.

2025-03-21 17:40:09 +0000 UTCIt's cringe tier for a reason lol
Loayza
2025-03-21 17:39:39 +0000 UTCI love Kaguya but there's no need for it to be T3, Grand Blue or Prison School would be a way better fit for the actual premise of T3. Oh well, ce'est la vie. Still glad Kaguya is getting a shot one way or the other. Edit: Based on some other comments I've seen I may have slightly misunderstood the actual "premise" of T3 (I wasn't here when it was started), so it's cool.
