Spice and Wolf Replacement Poll (With a Twist)

We've been done with Spice and Wolf for a little bit, so it's definitely time for another poll, but this will start with a twist! Before we start the upcoming replacement show, we'll be watching the FIRST AND ONLY THE FIRST episode of the Uzumaki anime adaptation. Afterwards we'll start the show you all vote in!

Vote for ANY AND ALL shows that you would like to see us react to! We always take note of which shows get plenty of votes, but don't win. Whichever gets the most votes we will release early access reactions on the Sunday when the Uzumaki reaction goes public.

NOTE: Jacob and I haven't seen any of these shows!

Thank you all so much for your continued generous support!

Any chance for Re:Zero Season 3 reactions?

Thamor

fair enough hope they won't wait for cour 3 to 5 though

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

FR, but orb is amazing. I hope they react to all these eventually, especially Ranma

Naescent

i’m so sad ranma didn’t win 😭

Rub

True, but could also be people voting for ranma who want orb, then switching last second, and/or not voting until the end, decent strat ngl

Naescent

Probably some people creating multiple accounts to vote for orb. Pretty sad.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

GG

Naescent

Orb prolly won, went up 12 votes in the last couple minutes!

Naescent

Went from Tied 377 to Ranma 374 and Orb 390 in a few minutes

Naescent

OK strange now its really skyrocketing

Naescent

Ok wow 3 minutes left, Orb rocketed 6 votes higher than Ranma

Naescent

4 Minutes left and orb went up by 3 votes higher

Naescent

5 Minutes left still tied

Naescent

10 minutes still tied wow

Naescent

15 Minutes left tied again...

Naescent

Now 1 hour, tied again

Naescent

Wow it's actually tied Ranma 1/2 and Orb and only 2 hours to go

Naescent

Ngl, all of the shows here are top of the top, quality-wise. So it's definitely a tough battle.

Naescent

At this point, even though I want Ranma to win, I feel like they should just react to both. It’s wild how close this has been so far.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

You guys HAVE to do Beastars season 3 at some point! You had my favorite reactions to the first 2 seasons

dlwolf28

You know what? I'm rooting for a tie.

D50

Hey all of these are genuinely good picks but had to vote for Ranma 1/2 🥹 ! I gew up watching the original anime and currently reacting to it with my wife haha

Bubi Reactions

They want both cours to be out before they do reactions on it so they can do all 16 episodes

Jawad Baig

No Re:zero??????

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

ive never heard of the orb show before, but it has my attention. blue box also sounds fun.

simplegunner

I think the theme of this poll was currently airing shows (Beastars begins this week)

AlexA

Unpopular, but I’m going to shout To Your Eternity season 2 into the void again.

Taycen Timothy

I was hoping to see monogatari off season and it's still not in the poll :(

camel.d

Ranma 1/2 is so so funny, chaotic, sweet and charming and the adaptation is knocking it out of the park.

Killikat

It's less thought provoking and cinematic as orb, but it's a great romcom with amazing and distinct characters and dynamics. Made by the Rumiko Takahashi, she also wrote Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura.

Naescent

I agree, Orb is fantastic. If Ranma 1/2 is competing against it I'm going to have to check it out.

A

I guess it was forever doomed to spiral into obscurity

Woodsie89

Ranma 1/2

Naescent

PLEASE RANMA 1/2 Guys vote! Though orb is literally amazing

Naescent

that's crazy to think blue box is losing 😭

DIO

I would admit that I'm being picky but its mainly the narration pace that bothers me. The anime is still OK to watch, but certain scenes in the original work had more emotional impact on me while in the anime they fall flat. The story is definitely a masterpiece and maybe it is because I have high expectations that I found the animation mediocre. Just saying that I'll rather go for Ranma in this poll.

JW

It's Orbing time!!

Fede Krauch

I mean I’m caught up with it and it seems like a great adaptation to me. Not sure what the issue with it would be tbh.

Mason TerHorst

Me pondering my 🔮

Mason TerHorst

ORB 🔮

Mason TerHorst

ORB ORB ORB 🙏 🌎

Mason TerHorst

Its because after episode 1 uzumaki has the worst fall of any anime ever. Animation dropping off a cliff and into never ending abyss. Another slap in the face to fans of juni ito and the fan of his work

Mike

Orb day a great show made for their discussions

Mike

Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

JNES

I haven't seen any of these shows. What should I watch if I only watch 1? And I will vote that

Stairguy

Beastars might be fighting an uphill battle in polls, because people were divided on season 2, and the manga readers said the final bit is even more divisive.

Aye Jaye

Orb for the love of all this is holy. ORB!!!

Drax

Actually I’m curious about this. I’m waiting for it to fully come out to binge it because I’ve heard good things, but I remember seeing the trailer a while back and it did not visually look great at all. Do you think the anime is well made or is it one of those cases where the writing is so good that you put up with a meh adaptation?

Robert Perez

I’d be surprised if there was a single soul that’s disappointed in them not checking out the rest. I’ve never been one to drop a show without finishing it, specially if it’s short and I dropped Uzumaki after watching episode 2, it is not great.

Robert Perez

Uzumaki after episode one... oh boy, it is a *spectacular* quality DROP

Cryogenx37

How the fuck are you not satisfied

DrWomanRespecter

ORB IS SO GOOD I SWEAR

noonefromithaca

Maaaan, i really hoped for an immediate watch for Beastars, without a pool I mean. I’ve waited so long for them to react to this part of the story (my personal favorite). It’s not winning right now :(. Let’s hope it’s going to appear in another pool very soon.

HumanWolfLover

I thought after TPN2 they weren't doing any shows that hadn't started airing yet? Did I just make that up? I'm surprised Ranma is winning, I didn't realize it was that popular. I'm enjoying Blue box, but clearly it's not going to win, so maybe I'll vote orb, I've heard good things about it, so I might give it a watch, and it's close to winning. Also, why only 1 episode of Uzumaki? I get it's a "twist" and all, but still weird. If I was a fan of the show, I'd be a little peeved. Getting teased like that. Thankfully I'm not.

Woodsie89

Ranma ! Ranma ! Ranma ! Ranma !

Damon Mackay

ORBB ME UP BABY!!!!

Isaku Saito

Let's go Orb! Ranma is a good #2

godUsoland

wow this is a close one

Wanderer

Fucc orb ranma and blue box that’s tough I love all 3 a lot

Alba Zawa

omg omg ranma i really didnt think u would watch it for some reason

serya

Gonna say a totally selfish request, please finish watching the SSSS Gridman universe stuff, just for me please 🥺😂

DBR

I… voting for all of them would not help would it. 😅

CaffieneKitty

Would love me some ORB

jakesterEZ

Yeah, it seems 4 cours have been confirmed so far. But you are correct 12, for this one.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

Ranma would be awesome

Cloie

Where's Blue Lock 😬😂

Tenroku

Ranma will get another cour later, but for now, this Fall it's just 12 episodes.

AlexA

its ranma'ing time

glubsclub

The Netflix hack

XWF Outlaw

Ranma 12 episodes? How do you know that? Both MAL and AniList do not know it yet.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

Beastars S3 (Part 1): 12 Episodes Blue Box: 25 Episodes Orb: On the Movements of the Earth: 25 Episodes Ranma ½ (2024): 12 Episodes

XWF Outlaw

Orb has been extremely boring so far. Ranma all the way with Blue Box as a close second.

James Peter Perrone Jefferies

Im pondering my decision right now...

SG

Orb

Ginger Dwarf

I'm a huge fan of Orb but not satisfied enough with the anime adaptation, so....Ranmaaaaa!!!

JW

You should just watch Beastars anyway.

Quintin Martin

O R B

Maximilian Mellen

Orb is great because it's new to me and I've heard nothing but good things, but damn do I kind of wanna relive Ranma and need motivation to start the remake

Aye Jaye

How is Beastars not winning?

Quintin Martin

Please let Orb win. It is most underrated anime of this year

Gundeep Singh

Them just watching only the first episode of Uzumaki made me laugh

Cryogenx37

It's time for peak Orb

Jawad Baig

I figure beastars will win but I’ve gotta go for Ranma. Your reactions would be golden.
