Hmm, funnily enough I also dropped FMA and re:zero. Idk if people recommended it but I think heavenly delusion is something u might rly dig. It‘s a bit underrated but has rly good storytelling and also a banger opening (which u know already). Plot and info about the world is provided in bits and pieces making you always think about sth kinda like in steins gate. 🫡

2025-01-03 03:33:27 +0000 UTCI know you are being serious. This is a community-based business where folks are paying REAL money to be a part of the decision-making. You sort of oversimplified the options for resolving.
DrumRollTony
2025-01-02 07:26:58 +0000 UTCYeah, this is 100% accurate. The other reason I think Konosuba works for me, even though it has loud characters, is that it does NOT take itself seriously or attempt to present anything in a serious format. Its all one big joke. The issue for me with ReZero and FMAB is that it really DOES take it self seriously and I just couldn't with the insufferable mains. You are on the money.

2025-01-02 07:25:39 +0000 UTCIm being serious, maybe you should consider simplifying how you do things to better fit yourself and your schedule.

2025-01-02 06:11:49 +0000 UTCI think you very subtly whether you realize it or not kind of emphasized what is the biggest driving forces of you liking a show or not, and that's the main character. For FMA and Re:Zero the main characters are similar enough in how they act, and they both have this wacky, flippant way that they act a lot of the time. Sure they sometimes get serious, but there's large portions of them acting this way, in otherwise serious shows. In Konosuba it's a comedy show, and the writing is all based around that, and in Demon Slayer Tanjiro isn't really like that but Zenitsu is and he's your least favorite character in that show too. I know you said there was already a lot of discord discussion but just that's my general impression of what makes a show the worst for you: a main character that you just find insufferable. There can be other problems, but I think that's the difference between you being able to persist, like you did with Demon Slayer, or just wishing you were watching something else. This is probably why you identified you weren't going to like Re:Zero from the very start, and why you feel compelled to do 1st episode reaction double check before continuing, because you'll be able to immediately assess the main character above all else and how much you can tolerate them, or you know, hopefully enjoy them.

2025-01-02 02:27:18 +0000 UTCTwo points here - If you put up a poll for people to vote, people are always going to vote THEIR preference don't be surprised at that. In an attempt to reason something you didn't need to you almost made it an attack on the people who voted. - By the same breath if you don't like a show don't feel like you half to watch it, just drop it most sane people will understand without issue, you don't need to reason it, you don't need to sit down, record, and edit a 7 minute long video explaining anything. Just post "Dropping ReZero, wasn't enjoying it so I'm going to choose a new show to replace it". Trust me, it will save you so much headache. Imma be real with you, if your worried that people are gonna vote for an option that you don't end up liking, don't do the votes. Choose a show YOU want to react to based on what YOU are interested in. The way you got things set up is always going to end up with shows you don't like popping up, and if you get stressed out and then have to drop borderline apology videos each time its going to get even more stressful very fast.

2025-01-01 19:21:04 +0000 UTCHonestly the most sad part is that you have to try and justify not liking something. It’s no worries on that. It’s like people getting upset that someone doesn’t like a flavor they love. I can’t stand cherries and there’s no way I’d sit and eat cherries for months on end on the off chance I might start liking them. The content I enjoy the most from you is when you’re really digging something which is why I didn’t really watch much of your Re:Zero reactions because I could tell you weren’t really vibing with it almost right from the start.

2025-01-01 18:46:30 +0000 UTCTo be honest, as a new member of the Patreon and seeing your previous reactions and how you resonate with different characters I knew you were not gonna be a fan of re:zero. I was almost surprised you even started the show when I first saw the playlist 😅. Oh well, hopefully we can get a new replacement soon 🙏

2025-01-01 18:04:10 +0000 UTCI think after 30 and 15 episodes is proof that you are giving these shows their fair chance. But when it doesn't click it doesn't. Any react that isn't enthusiastic is not going to be good content at the end of the day. You are trying new shows that YOU should vibe with. That's why we watch.
Dixon Hale
2025-01-01 17:58:45 +0000 UTCI'm glad your sticking to your guns and dropping things that arn't interestign to you. I love it whe you also love a show like I do, but I also understand not every show is for everyone. As your content here is reactions to shows for us, I always much prefer when your hobest about not likeing somthing. there is nothing wrong with everybondy NOT haveing the same taste.

2025-01-01 13:07:24 +0000 UTCFor every anime you find that you will enjoy, believe me there will be 10 that you don't enjoy. I'm honestly surprised it took until fma for you to finally find a show you would drop. That's an impressive streak. Looking forward to seeing what you put on the poll. And happy new year!!!!
Aritome
2025-01-01 12:19:15 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, I expected this to happen after it was nominated to replace FMAB. I feel both of those series are hard to watch once you're no longer a teenager, but I'm sure others will disagree. I like the idea of rapid-fire first episodes. Fully committing to a show before watching the first episode has burned me too many times. There are too many series that look alright from the synopsis, but go wrong very fast.
James Burns
2025-01-01 09:50:58 +0000 UTCI was looking at the shows you've watch so far, and after hearing that you didn't vibe well with FMA:B or Re:Zero, I think there are still plenty of shows out there you could vibe with that I could think of at the top of my head. The top pick that I think makes the most sense would definitely be "To Your Eternity", since the music really elevates the experience and it is by far one of the best anime soundtracks I have heard behind "Made in Abyss", "Violet Evergarden", and few other great shows. I would also recommend "Erased", "Saga of Tanya the Evil", "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress", and (for something more similar to Konosuba if the humor vibes with you,) "Uncle from Another World". These other shows all have elements that I think you could be interested in, whether it comes from the show's setting, the music (of course), and length (since they don't feel like they overstay their welcome). Of course, always pick what you think suits you best and never worry about angering or disappointing people if you drop or skip over a show that people are passionate about! Just connect with whichever you feel is best for you!
Bryro
2025-01-01 06:35:13 +0000 UTCI think the biggest issue is people suggesting stuff they want to see as opposed to what they think you'd actually enjoy seeing. And I think most anime fans are used to being forced into seeing anime outside of the realm of "normal" media because it's commonly told to us that it's for kids and etc when anime is just a vehicle for story telling like anything else. I think that's where that dissonance you mentioned comes from. Why it's like "oh don't suggest this for a new anime fan" when really you should base suggestions on the persons personal tastes in media. I love the idea of you watching the first episode of several animes and just finding your vibe. The best reacts are the ones where you're enjoying the content you're reacting to.

2025-01-01 04:28:54 +0000 UTCIf you like vinland saga you should check out Orb Movements of the earth its not that similar but it has the vibe of it

Edward Contreras
2025-01-01 00:54:17 +0000 UTCI recommend Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. It has a Vinland Saga S2 vibe. Sort of a like a mix of Vinland Saga and Death Note. The ending and op for this show are really good. Not many fights but when they do happen animation is crazy good. Philosophical and without any loud characters. There are no superpowers/magic/supernatural stuff in this show and it is quite dark at times

2025-01-01 00:40:42 +0000 UTCWe need a council of 12 wise patreon members to filter out things DRT doesn't like. Whoever selected HOTD(highschool of the dead) should get a majority vote power (imo those are best reactions along with Sound Eupho)
kinetic98
2025-01-01 00:32:55 +0000 UTCHaha, as many other's have said, i was pretty skeptical when Re:Zero was chosen as the replacement to FMAB which you clearly weren't enjoying (though i cant lie, watching dub due to being heaped praises didn't help either), so it's completely expected and understandable that you'd drop it. I personally like Re:Zero for reasons such as the plot and gore and interactions between the characters, but I'm also used to watching anime so i can easily filter out stuff that may put non-anime watchers off, which helps in stories set around Japanese characters. Will see what the poll options are and how it goes. I've just looked at ep 1 of HxH (and up to ep 3 as well if the three episode rules happens and HxH wins your decision), and I personally think it should be able to hook you if you've managed to watch stuff like Mob and JJK. It's very much framed as an anime where you're meant to think similar to Vinland Saga and Steins:Gate and the author Togashi tries a lot to execute it well, but you of course can also enjoy it without thinking much since it's a battle shounen, so i do think that you'll be hooked enough at the start to at least progress through for a while, by which time should be enough to fully convince you. (This is all assuming Hunter x Hunter even pops up on the poll)

2024-12-31 20:52:25 +0000 UTCThe biggest and only surprise of this video is you saying your age 💀 idk if you've mentioned it before but it was my first time hearing it. You look younger than that, never would've guessed. Anyways, so far we have identical tastes in anime, though I suffer through to the end and aside from the so called 'masterpiece' that is episode 18? (If I recall correctly) you ain't missing out on much with the rest of the first season. Can't speak for anything after that since I haven't watched it. Looking forward to what comes next though! Definitely a fan of the watch the first episode from the poll, as well as the 3 episode rule that others have mentioned. Happy new year!

2024-12-31 20:28:41 +0000 UTCI’ve never watched Re Zero but I’ve watched my fair share of isekai so I had a feeling you probably weren’t gonna vibe with this. While there are good isekai out there, there’s just tropes that seem forced, tropes that annoy me to no end lol. To me, I think a lot of isekai are overrated. But I think your plan is fair game, good idea.

Of course there's no way for you to know, but all of my recommendations have been considering your taste in content and character development (I even still think you'd like a condensed version of FMA, because the plot ends up really paying off, but that's neither here nor there). Looking forward to the next options! I'd love to personally recommend you some more shows on the discord, but with work, parenting and other stuff I barely get enough time to watch your reactions on my second screen while working, hahah. Good video and I totally support your decision, been here for a while and hope to be here for the long run. Cheers, Tony!

Even if we don't vibe with some of them others will be there and be just as good

2024-12-31 19:17:11 +0000 UTCYeah, its not that deep, didnt work out for you, you can freely drop it, complete opposite of me never droping anything(only way for me is if i forget its existence). Anyway as other said, you need to get enjoyment out of this too, i think the majority of people of people want to enjoy the reactions, when there is "passion" in it.
tudos4
2024-12-31 19:13:18 +0000 UTCI generally agree, but I do actually like Slime. It’s got decent world building and it’s more like comfort food that I can just kinda sit back and enjoy for a bit.

2024-12-31 18:48:51 +0000 UTCI feel the same way. I was a teenager when the first season came out and enjoyed it quite a bit. And now season 3 is currently airing and I stopped watching it after a couple episodes because I just was not enjoying it at all. I wasn't sure if it was season 3 specifically or the show as a whole so for the first time as an adult I re watched the first few episodes of the first season and man were they a drag.

2024-12-31 18:33:13 +0000 UTCI'm not very tuned in to everything that goes on here, so I didn't know reactions could be stopped mid-way through, but for your sake I am so glad you ended Re:Zero. Knowing you the little I do made it very clear this show wouldn't hit, even never having seen your reaction to it until this video. Personally I enjoyed it (mostly) when it came out in 2016, but on a recent revisit I was a bit surprised at how exasperated I was with it; I just grew out of it, simple as. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the new format for deciding on what shows you'll watch, it sounds like it will work a lot better this way. Peace!

Szayel H
2024-12-31 18:23:45 +0000 UTCI had a really strong feeling from when I first saw rezero on the poll that it wasn't going to work for you and it's totally understandable why (I personally have enjoyed it but it's far from my favorite and I have mostly the same issues with it as you just not a strongly) and I also think you're absolutely on the money with some people not taking into consideration whether or not a show is likely going to work for you and instead focusing on their favorite on the list which is unfortunate because I don't really see the point in wanting someone to watch something they wouldn't enjoy just because the voter likes it. I think your solution to this problem is a pretty solid insurance to helping you not end up commiting time to shows you'd end up not enjoying and really appreciate the honesty in both the things you've enjoyed and not enjoyed, it's nice knowing when a person isn't putting up a front for something just to appease an audience. Here's hoping for Monster to show up on that poll because it's one of the best Seinen series out there and I genuinely think it's right up your alley.

2024-12-31 18:01:01 +0000 UTCPeople thought that since he liked Steins;Gate he probably would like this with the whole time reset thing. The problem is that all the other elements didnt work and probably a lot of people that voted weren't aware of that.

Zach Harding
2024-12-31 17:55:44 +0000 UTCThe three episode rule might be helpful going forward. Not everything will hook you within three episodes but that's usually enough time to see if you vibe with it.
Sakeef Salman
2024-12-31 17:54:47 +0000 UTCALSO in anime a lot of us have what we call "the three episode rule". Three episodes is usually the amount needed to really show you what the plot and show are actually like. I think it would probably be good to implement this "rule" in the future and each time you get through the third episode of a show to maybe do a check like "am I liking this or not?" That way you can cycle out bad stuff faster!

2024-12-31 17:54:43 +0000 UTCLol, dropped my first comment only 2min in cause I was heated for you having seen people pick anime that arent for you mutiple times now, but yeah watching the first episodes is a good approach.

2024-12-31 17:47:56 +0000 UTCRIP Re:Zero - hey hopefully we can find something that works better for you next!

You have to enjoy or like the anime for us as viewers to see that and enjoy you liking the anime and if your not enjoying it we’re not enjoying it ya know.

2024-12-31 17:42:36 +0000 UTCI dont know why people keep picking anime that you've made it clear have elements you don't vibe with. I like Re:Zero but you've made it clear multiple times what kinds of things you don't like and people keep forcing stuff THEY LIKE in instead of stuff that you would like. Hope people vote differently next time!
