February Poll Winner - Neon Genesis Evangelion

Yaorin

Oh god, watching you try to pick apart and figure out the deep lore for NGE is gonna be hilarious

Do you plan to react to End of Evangelion as well? Would love it if you did!

I’ve literally never heard of anyone doing reactions to 99 with the exception of the first episode since it has a major different with the first episode of 2011 and people are always keen on recommending it, tho it does make since that 2011 is usually the one to go with (and I personally would always recommend it to new viewers) since it adapts way more of the story and it has somewhat of a deceptively lighter tone but it’s definitely a shame that 99 doesn’t get enough appreciation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very excited about this. And also curious on your plans for the movie. If it hasn't been explained to you yet, it was a huge event and definitely mandatory viewing -- it's not some run-of-the-mill spinoff/filler anime movie! I know you don't do movie reactions though, so you may pass, but at least a review would be nice.

Poll method kills me too because I'd love for a quality reaction of HxH '99, but it will literally never happen. Monster is only a matter of time though!

いえいえ、いつでも喜んで！

Seems good. Missing the endings is a bit sad, but him watching the DC episodes is the important part. Can't say anything about the subs, as I usually watch with JP subs nowadays, but I'm sure they're going to be fine. Thanks for letting me know though!

He has the "Standard Edition" by GKIDS, which has the director's cut versions of the episodes and End of Evangelion if he chooses to watch it. It should have the updated Netflix subs, which are more than fine - differences were always exaggerated. It's missing the "Fly Me to the Moon" endings, which is a slight bummer - but he can listen to them elsewhere. Fully spoilerless, good quality, tells which version appeared in which episode: https://animethemes.moe/anime/neon_genesis_evangelion

Can‘t wait for you to experience Evangelion. It definitely is one of the medium-defining series. Also I’d recommend the „sephirotic“ release, as that one has all the director‘s cut episodes and good English subs.

Hmm hmu

I love both HxH and monster and will vote for monster, also think it will be a good change of pace of the man himself because HxH and FMAB are both known to be the peak shonen anime whereas monster is unlike anything else

I’d very much like to live in that timeline

God damn the poll for FMAB replacement is going to be impossible to vote for. HxH and Ippo are two of my personal favorites and I would love to see either of them win. Also Monster is one that I’ve had on my top of to watch list for a while so even if that one wins I am good 👩‍💻

So will this be including the movie, End of Eva, as well? I personally like the original ending, but would feel like an experience would be missed if you didn't watch the movie to have a contrast.

Ryan

Incredibly excited for this. There are surprisingly few EVA reactions and even fewer good EVA reactions.

Wesley Owens

Thank God

Lm and im reacting to hxh 🤔 not a bad timeline

KaedenKing

I agree, however over the dozen reaction channels I've pledged to over the years, I have yet to see HxH on a poll and not win. Mob has more recency bias but it was going up against an all time great, HxH seems to have invulnerability against all odds lol

HawaiinHercules

Evangelion is my favorite anime, so im so excited for this!!

Sloopgamer

Never watched NGE, but I will watch it with you. I know a lot of it already so there will be no big surprises for me but I'm still looking forward to this watchthrough. Two questions, what will you do about the movies and will you watch it weekly or bi-weekly? I'm also really interested in the poll after FMAB. Not sure, what I will vote for cause HxH and Monster are both one of my very few 10/10 anime. As for Hajime no Ippo, it’s good but I think Haikyuu is the best anime to start with sports anime and also a better sport anime in general, not my fav though

Chelle

I’ve never seen Evangelion but I’ve definitely heard of it so this will be interesting lol. Hopefully the less popular animes will get their chance to shine on this channel in the future as well And yeah HxH is almost a guaranteed win for next time (tho I would personally prefer to see something like Monster since there’s been so much discussion around HxH already)

KaedenKing

Might as well just get ready for HxH, I'd be shocked if it doesn't win
