Cutee dog 🥰

Vicente de Paulo Guimaraes Priante

Waitt… all the time there was a dog, and i don t see it…wowww ,

Vicente de Paulo Guimaraes Priante

I honestly don't remember. So I guess that's a no. There is good stuff in every season though.

Shivering King Banana

imo it only lulls a bit midway season 3 but picks back up last few episodes. You don't think the first half of season 3 is compelling?!

Stephen

My hero gets so stale. If they watched just the first 2 seasons I'd be for it.

Shivering King Banana

anyone know if they're gonna watch my hero academia? maybe after hunter hunter? They'd definitely love it. Edit: nvm they addressed it in their intro

Stephen

Mid

Friend

Mid anime with lots of style and little substance

Drake

Ya, I'm sure that was the intention of the Japanese manga writer Tatsuya Endo.

Stephen

those were the sugested anime to react ? did they watch Deamon slayer or why is it not recomaneded ? knowing them they would LOOVE it !

Night Power

who is that cute doggo voilm ga

Christopher Rathauscher

Neon Genesis Evangelion is truly life changing. It's a story about a father and a son who become separated because of a death in the family but go through a bonding experience by finding a common hobby. Very similar to Baki and just as wholesome!

Orr Malus

I have my problems with the eng dub but hey, it's supposed to be the original version, so I better get used to it because I really want to see these reactions

Anto

Think at least Lola has already seen it unfortunately, though honestly would hapilly watch their reactions al the same as that show just gets better with rewatches

Kya Colosseum

I. LOVE. THIS. SHOW. Edgerunners is amazing. I am glad you girls enjoyed the first episode, it honestly gets better from here. The show really leans heavily on the game lore (both the pen and paper RPG as well as the video game) so it might be a bit daunting at first, but I think youll be fine. Excited to watch this with you guys.

Farbod

I love Minus the Bear

Kara

Yeah I can see the fun discussions with Uncle Sam’s like you. Acknowledge your worldview that American Movie productions aren’t state propaganda or be derided as an online brain commie tankie who needs to touch grass. Ironic considering that I live in a walkable European city, hold a history degree, while your education comes from Reddit and you have to drive an hour to the next mall or park that even has grass. I told you that every show has a narrative, which doesn’t mean that I don’t watch any shows or any anime at all, but nice try. Some media just also has stories to tell regardless of historic or geopolitical backdrop. Some media doesn’t. Some is in between. Spy family has none, It’s the fact that impressionable little children like you literally build their world views on this type of media which is the reason why I don’t want them (or anyone for that matter) to watch SpyXFamily which was why I made my original comment. Simple as that. Go shoot up a school or something if you don’t like what I’m saying lmfao idk

Gucci Pucci

When your right your right. They shouldn't be reacting to any anime cause it's from Japan and they are just puppets of America. They shouldn't be watching any show not made in the glorious ussr where everything was perfect and the points don't matter. We can even see if there is some good ccp shows they can react too cause those are the only places ethically that are allowed right? Dude take the online brain and touch some grass. It's a found family kids cartoon with some spy stuff in it. They have watched multiple shows with different political/economic/social ideas, it usually leads to good discussions and fun reactions.

T0ast

Yeah I don’t know lil man, if you are actually pretending Band of Brothers isn’t a direct DoD-to-Hollywood production then I don’t understand how you haven’t drowned in your saliva all these years. What if I told you that more than 2,500 films and TV shows have been supervised by the military as well as security services like the CIA. Movies, shows, games or documentaries are created either hand in hand, closely or more loosely with the Department of Defense’s Entertainment Unit to depict themselves more favorably for recruitment purposes, “historical accuracy” and preserving “military secrets”? Never heard of the Military-entertainment complex? Private Ryan was literally funded by the DoD. Blackhawk down? American Sniper? Even joke movies like Transformers or Iron Man are openly funded by your Department of Defense and isn’t safe from your propaganda. Hell your kids get to watch that cop dog show lmfao literally even your toddlers consume Copaganda… but whatever let’s you sleep at night eh Yanqui?

Gucci Pucci

The show isn't real or based on any real world event or characters. It's very loosely based on east/west Germany but not really. Also they literally watched band of brothers about us soldiers. In your mind that is just western propaganda right? Tankies always being the worst online.

T0ast

Oh no… I’m not ready to experience Edgerunner again…

Ryan Coleman

I didn’t know this was gonna be uploaded so soon, happy days😍 seems to be mix feelings in the comments but I think yous will really enjoy this short story, it won’t be up there with the list you mentioned at the end of Vinland (BB, BCS, AOT, avatar, full metal) but not everything can be, doesn’t mean it isn’t a great show worth watching :)

JATLA

Its not an anime but is there any chance they react to Over The Garden Wall? its only 10 episodes

Jorginho

At least you can binge 20 HxH reactions if you ever get time, I’m a bit jealous😂

JATLA

The power of anime !

Orr Malus

we filmed the wire first and so we introduced her there, forgot that cyber comes out first 😂

LM Reactions

at least this is once a week, i dont think we can get too far away from you

LM Reactions

They both went for last episode of vinland saga: ¨life change story about peace thorfinn make me a better person¨ to first episode of cyberpunk edgerunners: ¨kill them all, i dont care kill them all¨

The_Nitron

(Spoiler free) Just for your information: Yes there is a Cyberpunk game (with Keanu Reaves!) but no it is not the same story as the anime. The show takes place a year before the events of the game in the same city (Night City) and the story was written by the same people over at CDPR. As a fan of the game, watching the anime and recognizing city landmarks, some characters, and weapons/cyberware from my time playing it was pretty damn cool lol. It is a ridiculously faithful adaptation of the world that video game brought to life and studio TRIGGER deserve all the praise they got for this show.

Fish Smell Bad

you demons

Fish Smell Bad

This might have been said already, but the paying more for new programs for school is very much like paying for books at American universities. You pay tens of thousands each semester just to be there. Then, for each class, companies that make the books (in bed with the universities) charge you literally hundreds per book, per class. We really aren't that far off, sadly.

Deron C

Cyberpunk on Saturdays, lets go! Hope yall enjoy

Ulfway

This show underwhelmed me so much after hearing all the hype - maybe you’ll get more out of it than me.

Mikey

It’s bad manners to tell someone directly affected by this type of propaganda and it’s results that it’s not that deep as someone who isn’t affected. East Germans proportionally still have lower wages, more homelessness or jobless, less home ownership and worse education in this “reunited” Germany. They expropriated the East German bank and everyone’s retirement Fonds, made the exchange rate 4 to 1 (in favor of the west) sold off the companies for a pittance to western investors or competitors who shut them down, which created mass joblessness and then effectively used the eastern Bundesländer as a low wage Labour sector since then. We are effectively second class citizens, and I’m sorry if you believe I lack manners, but quite frankly do not give a shit what you think about my tone of language. You’re infantilizing me, brushing off someone complaining about the insulting historical revisionist representation of actual real world history which resulted in colonization, subjugation and consequent annihilation of a People which is justified and propagated through the education system, political consensus and media, just like spy family. It forms or reinforces peoples opinions and worldview, evidently proven by you, right here and now. It’s awesome that you are fortunate enough to not be on the other end of the Western Military/Media industrial complex, but try to not contradict or argue with someone directly affected by US imperialism. Our Girls are from former Yugoslavia, our East German brother state, I wonder if you’d argue with them about the massacres NATO has committed in their country if they complained about a show that completely skewed that narrative.

Gucci Pucci

Welcome to Night City! The show takes place in 2076, in a dystopian city somewhere in once California (fun fact no-spoiler, the city was rebuilt after a a nuke wiped the shit out of it in 2023 c: ) As you already said, the world is based in the controversial video game Cyberpunk 2077, the anime has dozens of Easter eggs but the story is original The show was so well received that helped a lot to put back on track the game after an initial shit show in its release, and now is kind of thriving And there is a lot of slang and terms exclusive of this world, but maybe around episode 3 would be better to address just the basics for little more context Hope you enjoy this :)

Omar O

Its not about whether you're right or not; it's just a disproportionate amount of vitriol in the way you commented that for a ridiculously wholesome and goofy show like Spy Family where the allegorical backdrop is b-plot at most. (It's literally a kids show, things are simplified) Conversations can be and usually are had about the philosophies or economic and political systems within almost all the shows LM watch, people just recoil immediately when someone posts a very abrasive and divisive comment posted with such absoluteness. It's just bad manners.

Antonio

yeah but did you stop to consider who asked?

Jay Craig

I know it’s hard for you uneducated lead-brained Yankees and Anglos to understand that every piece of media, every movie, news article and even anime is propagating a narrative, be it economical, political historical or a combination of those. And I also get that you were never taught about media bias. But why is it so outlandish to think that a show made by a US Vassal and former Axis state and set in a semi-fictional variation of the East German Republic is propagating certain talking points that are at times discriminating or ignorant, at other times flat out anti-communist and xenophobic or portray the part of Germany that was allied with both Japan and the USA more favorably/have the protagonist be from there? Are you going to scream and cry next when I tell you that your favorite show too, like AoT which is written by a Japanese imperial war crime denier, has fascist undertones or propagates imperialist talking points? How about Cyberpunk for example? Do you deny it’s narrative is highly critical of the capitalist promoted consumerism and showcasing where privatization (David’s mom dying due to private healthcare) or Rent (eviction regardless of circumstance) will lead our society in the future? The clearly Marxist-influenced critique of society and economy, the class struggle being shown and the impact the rule of the corporations has on the societal outcasts and the proletariat in general? Or the Transhumanist talking points that come with the physical enhancement through cyberware and how that will or could impact the evolution of humanity in the near distant future? How is that any different than spy family’s geopolitical narrative being based on Us and Western consensus on East Germans/East Germany; that Ostanians are portrayed as unsocial demi-human, overly aggressive or emotional, violent (Yor, her brother for example), the misrepresentation of their education as some form of nepotistic connection based school system (which is actually how it was in the BRD, education was Free in the East for anyone) or how their government is portrayed exactly like the GDR government is portrayed in current day American Academia mirroring “real” world history and politics just to name a few examples (I.e. both are Stasi Dictatorship everyone was spied on everyone is suppressed everything is bad you get disappeared if you complain)? They aren’t too different, they are both stories with specific narratives but both on the opposite sides of the ideological spectrum. Cyberpunk utilizes Marxist economical and societal critique, while SpyXFamily utilizes the geopolitical situation of Cold War Europe from a Western/Western Ally perspective, which I as a former East German, with parents and grandparents from the East, vehemently rebuke. Talking about media literacy while proving everything in that show, or any other for all I know, went over your tiny fluoride-addled head is truly such an arrogant Western thing to do. Maybe don’t try to argue about (fictional) Cold War Germany story adaptions with an East German who holds a degree and specializes in 20th century German history specifically World War Two and the Post-War period when all you have to show for yourselves is your Highschool diploma and your Waifu Pillow.

Gucci Pucci

nice to see 86 is at least on your radar to possibly watch in the future. would be an incredible series the girls would love and even has a female lead as i know theyve said in the past they havent watched many with female leads. violet evergarden is also one of those. Looking forward to the next poll after this for sure

Toidleboy

Better be right or I'm offended!

Isaac

its only 10 episodes you will really like it. I suggest watched up the next few hxh episodes of this arc because it gets insane. Watching the episode before the reaciton is what I did with the girls for better call saul and some others glad im not alone lol.

Korin

In my head you guys are the same person on two accounts. One military one civilian.

Shivering King Banana

Haha that phrase sounds familiar

Sergeant Jay

If they watch Mad Men I’ll cry and throw up, crossing my fingers

space colon

Yeah… feel like they might have fun with the world building here but Spy x Family or Ranking of Kings or Your Lie in April (and eventually Haikyuu!) would have been much much more up their alley. Hope they can get their wholesome show with all the adorable children for them to adopt

space colon

if you say soy in any context like this you need to go outside and interact with real people

Derek

how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man

Jay Craig

They are probably holding off on her introduction until the Q&A :D

Robert H.

Nova

Omar O

I'll still recommend Ranking of Kings for you, its short and I just know you'll fall in love with Boji

Infierno23

This show is good .If the girls end up liking this show then they would most definitely love “your lie in April” or “Violet Evergarden”.

Sergeant Jay

After this show is done I’d say violet evergarden would be perfect for you two. If your looking for anime’s with FEMALE main characters I’d say watch 86, or Violet Evergarden

Sergeant Jay

How do you have a pupper sitting next to you for the entire video and NOT introduce her?!?!

Bryce

If you can’t make shallow gameplay better, you make it faster

Nathan Elkin

I voted for this show over Spy x Family because it is shorter. I also feel like Spy x Family has a better chance returning to the poll over Edgerunners (intro kind of proved me right).

Rouge Rogue

Would like to recommend Fate/Zero and Ancient Magus Bride for some medium sized shows. Also excited for when Violet Evergarden gets picked!

yellowshmellow

It's a minor spoiler, but I find amusing how Lola's statement "The parents always die at the beginning of the anime / don't exist" would have fit on all 5 suggestions in the last poll :D

Robert H.

Hey please watch "Kaguya sama - love is war" later pleaase, it is a 37 episode series (3 seasons of 12 episodes each) and it's very funny, wholesome and well writen

Jonas

dude are you okay ? "Xenophobic Cold War" ? Are you seriously saying this ? Like are you seriously saying a story that's about assassins and spies that happen to choose the cold war as its setting (a period know for those 2 things) is propaganda ??? LMAOOO. Are you still a kid ? have you just learned about the cold war in history class and wanted to seem smart by understanding the references to it in a comedy work of fiction ? Because it's either that or you have very poor media literacy to somehow extract any semblance of any of what you said from Spy x Family, like I don't like that show because it's not interesting to me but saying it is propaganda just because it took a time period as a setting and had some it's character part of it is dumb

Jonas

This is one of the highest rated anime out there and it won Anime of the Year at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. The forced hate it gets on here from some is super cringe.

Basjvw

Ehh definitely not my 1st choice but at least it’s short and we can hopefully finally get ranking of kings.

Isaiah Cox

So excited!!! Some lore bits/explanations for y'all: "eds" "eddies" etc. are slang for "eurodollars" which is an international currency in Cyberpunk. Sometimes also called "eurobucks" or "ebs". "BDs" are "brain dances", you guys were dead on that one, these are real recorded memories from someone although they can also be edited or tuned to enhance certain emotions or change their perception. "XBDs" are just like gorey BDs, the way you are introduced to them in the video game is as "experiencing death". You were also pretty on about Trauma Team, they are essentially like a militarized private ambulance service, so if you are rich you pay for their insurance and they will come guns blazing to get you out when you get injured. Also, Cyberpunk was originally a tabletop roleplaying game (like Dungeons & Dragons), was made into a video game in 2020, and this show is then "based" on the game. Some things you see like the thing that pops up when they call each other are straight out of the game, and there are some cameos through the show from some video game characters (with their excellent voice actors!!!) as well.

Ryab

I’ll second Eva, really wholesome show that’s right up their alley IMO

James Damerall

@Isaac done! tomorrow i'll call my boss and tell him i need a few days off to catch up with shows and reactions lol no, but jokes aside, i think with hxh i stopped in ep26 or so so i have about 20 episodes of the show to watch plus their reactions since i can't watch an anime with them for the first time because i get lost, i need to watch the episode first and then rewatch with them 💀 the wire i think ep 6 or 7 of the first season. and this one i don't even know what is it about lol, need to see if they're watching dub or sub and watch the pilot before checking out the reaction. it's easier when it's just one episode. with hxh and the wire i'll have to slowly catch up and pray so i don't get spoiled 😂 at least one the summer is over (look at me, praying for the summer to be over when it barely has started) so all the fucking tourists can go back to their fucking homes and the restaurant will be "peaceful" again. i get payed the same if we get 3 tables or if we get 300. so as you can imagine i'm not a big fan of tourists.

sand_fl

And it’s in dub. Lessgoo

nou

I think you're reading more into this than you should. The focus is on comedy and the characters are anything but normal. The story is spun around many mundane events that a family would experience, only heavily distorted according to the setting with spies and assassins.

Robert H.

I think they'll like it, it won't become their favorite show of all time, but they'll enjoy it

Friend

Girls instead of SpyxFamily can you watch another fun little show called Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just 26 episodes

bondbond53

Catch up on EVERYTHING before you hurt my feelings 😭

Isaac

That's why they should watch Mad Men, a light bubbly show with no dramatic investment in characters (it is not a light bubbly show with no dramatic invement in characters)

Kara

still haven't had the time to watch the pilot so the reaction will have to wait 😭 now i'm behind with every single show you're reacting to 🙃 well, minus the bear

sand_fl

ayyyooo that was quick as hell! I haven't even downloaded the full length files yet! Talk about a 'friday surprise' amazing!!!

Kara

This is gonna be good. Short and sweet.

MOB12

Preem upload chooms

HenryM

Spy family sucks ass it’s West Germany propaganda. Imagine if they made a show Yugoslavia vs NATO and nato was the good guy. That’s what Spy Family is in context of their West Germany vs East Germany allegory. Evil Easterners vs cool Westeners. If you don’t dig too deep and only enjoy for the Anya face that’s okay but if you even remotely look for any substance in your shows all you will find in Spy Family is xenophobic Cold War fanfiction.

Gucci Pucci

The ones in polls are very short so I’m happy you’ll likely see all of the ones without too much time between them! Hope for a happier show next!

CT

Oh fuck yeahhh

MrGuy3000

Why do we keep doing this to the girls. See I told ya you needed some light in the form of Haikyuu

bondbond53

Yessss , now I gotta finish the series because y’all started it 😅

ForeignKarma

LETS GOOOO

Gucci Pucci

Lets gooo this series is perfect for yall
