Post "[POLL] FRIEREN REPLACEMENT " by "thenormies" from patreon

bondbond53

This tells me a lot about the audience of this channel

Black Knight

Let's goooooooooooooooo

Xonok

I like Vinland Saga and Solo Leveling, but I want them to react to Solo Leveling since they already had a group react to Vinland season 1. I don't know why that group fell apart, aside from Nahid leaving, Mickey Pat, and Marketa could have still reacted to Season 2.

Edgar

i rather watch paint dry than kill la kill

GoNutsDK

It seems that the majority would rather have a big mac over a sirloin steak. Nothing wrong with liking different things, but Vinland is definitely a higher quality show than Solo.

batman831

Kill la kill over both of these, easily.

A Wretched Thing

Was he the one that felt the need to shit on something someone liked just for liking it? The dudes who called it brain dead power fantasy could have just…you know…gone on with his life instead of being negative. You do better.

Trey Milliner-Williams

yes im sure calling people that for attacking those who enjoyed a anime is a "do better" situation. if you are gonna play the "ik you are but what am I" stick atleast let it make sense

Big Time Knights

your the one calling people jackass and dicks... Do better.

Big Time Knights

Solo will be done with quick and then they said they would do Vinland with a new crew. Suraj really wants it.

Big Time Knights

you must mean 2016 one because 1997 is definitely not. The soundtrack alone is goated.

Nicholas

I wouldn't say it's shit, just not as great as the manga obviously.

Manny Jones

SOLOOOOO!!!!!

Trey Milliner-Williams

its crazy how many stories of humility, acceptance, love, etc are out there and proclaimed to be the goats of anime that im sure you enjoyed and you both just didnt learn anything from them besides how to be a dick to people who might not like them as much as you did. do better.

Zack Aranda

Because you sound like a cringe fanboy over a dumb power fantasy with cardboard characters.

Trey Milliner-Williams

Because it's a great series that I enjoy. Why are you being a jackass over it?

Brakthir

Bruh, its literally brain dead power fantasy, why are you acting like its something generational

Zack

the berserk anime is shit

Bernard

This is like picking Sao over Berserk

penguin299

They've already done Vinland Saga tho, just with a different group

Laal

Guys please vote Vinland saga, SoloLvl is great but it should come after

Michael Jefferson

"Native origins's workings" my guy, do you speak Japanese? Because if you are reading subtitles, you already consuming a "bastardized" version of the source material from your standards

Edgar

bruh

Alexis B.

Personally, I waited until the Korean Dub came out and watched it that way. Since it's adapted from the manhwa, I thought it would be interesting to hear the Korean VA's performances.

Trey Milliner-Williams

its beautiful to see the goat Solo Leveling winning by such a wide margin. As someone who read the manwha multiple times this adaption unlike a lot of manwha adaptions is 10/10. I love this story and really enjoy the majority of these characters. With the next season coming up which cranks things to 11 I cannot wait to see absolute peak be animated faithfully and beautifully

Infinite tsukuyomi (he him)

I never saw either of these. I'm not into anime that much.

Fatherlord

They watched Frieren in sub, you know, the show that this poll is literally meant to replace 🤦

Co

lackingnames

Garbage is sadly popular, especially so in the Anime circles

MR1394

Slice of life (particularly Spy x Family’s version) is great for reactions. There are plenty of funny, wholesome, sad, surprising, exciting, and action heavy scenes for the Normies to react to and I think they’d enjoy the wider range of emotions

greenb3ar

Both are done by great studios so the animation isn't lacking. Solo Leveling is flashier because its a lot more fight, fight, fight but I prefer Vinlands animation. I just loved their use of animation to for a lot of symbolism and thematic moments.

Zack Aranda

Lol, what? It's not better than Vinland and it doesn't really make for good reactions since it's mostly slice of life.

AnEnthusiasticKoala

No way is vinland saga losing to Mid leveling

Chaos T

There's no reason for The Normies, a content creator located in the United States, to view anything in sub. You're requiring them to do one extra step that's not needed for a reaction. We're not in the 1980's. Anime dubs have been consistently good for decades; regardless if the dubs are in English, Spanish, German, etc.

Chaos T

"Your sub audience" phrasing

Chaos T

I haven't watched "Solo Leveling" and can't comment on the artwork in that series. However, I've seen "Vinland Saga" and really like the art style in that series. The artists do a good job of putting real detail of the armor, fashion, etc. of the time period it's portraying. Either live action or animation, Vinland Saga is one of the best visual portrayals of Norse society I've seen. The art in the character designs are also really good.

Chaos T

There are three days left until the poll closes. At the start, "Solo Leveling" was winning by a huge margin but "Vinland Saga" is closing the gap. We could be in for a wild finish. Your vote matters!

Michael Acuna

I've never seen either, which is recommended by art style?

Chaos T

This is idiotic.

HouseDogget

Dandadan has a great dub

Shawn Brink

The anime hipster in it's natural element. Complaining on social media.

Josh T

Everyone voting for Solo Leveling is a prisoner of the moment with bad taste sorry

JStymie

Honestly, they would have probably had a better time watching the DanDaDan episodes fully dubbed. The "Goodbye" scene completely went over them because as English speakers, they didn't get the nuance of the variations of Goodbye just via subtitles. In the dub, it is conveyed perfectly in the tone of the voice. Normies crew: Watch whatever language you prefer, it's not that big of a deal!

greenb3ar

The show this poll is for is something they are literally watching in sub.... Giving tips on Solo Leveling and not watching Frieren is oof

greenb3ar

Have a feeling there is a massive overlap of Vinland and S;G fans. The Normies have spoken about wanting shows like them but the patrons keep giving them the most basic ass fighting shows.

Co

I respect this take. If it is true, then I'd be okay with dub since there's a practical reason for it. Thanks for being respectful.

Cain Olivares

not watching any anime in its native origin's workings should be a crime. You will all be arrested shortly if you watch anything in DUB. Thank you.

Xonok

I preferred the sub the voice actor for Sun Jin Woo has a really deep menacing voice. But, its better for the Normies to react to the dub especially this anime. The action is fast pace with a lot of textboxes on the screen if you read the manwha and seen the anime you know why.

SpeedyCat19

"your sub fans deserve at least one win every once in a while." Oh my god this cannot be real. They've reacted to SO many animes in sub. They watch a couple dubs and y'all start freaking out lmao

Gwyn

Never underestimate us cavemen Shonen fans. Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.

Gwyn

I'm totally down for Spy Family reactions, after we get Solo. 86 is a great pick btw.

Prime Rebel

If you feel neglected because strangers on the internet don't watch a show you like in a way you want you're going to struggle in life a lot

Co

For Solo Leveling, please watch the sub. Your sub audience has been patiently waiting especially after the terrible DanDaDan fiasco. I get it. It takes a bit of work to read subtitles when you can just watch it in English, but your sub fans deserve at least one win every once in a while. Please don't neglect them anymore.

Zack

they did

Dale D. Ellis

Great Choices but happened to SOUL EATER & DANMACHI???

Alex M

1st and last season of SAO is peak. Everything in between is a solid 4/10 💀. Solo leveling starts good and just gets better and better.

Ooze McShoes

Vinland Saga fans should feel lucky that they're even getting to #2 on a poll. There's a pretty good chance fans of Steins;Gate, one of the best series ever and only a SINGLE season (not counting Steins;Gate 0), will never see it reacted to on this channel.

Mitchell Hall

I loved spy x family but i got so boring and repetitive.

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

That's the point they'd run through season one and need a new show pretty quick even if season 2 comes out its only 12 ep they'd run through it faster than vinland saga

Jaden Hunter

sword art is NOT better

Jaden Hunter

season 1 is

Xonok

I preferred sub, but its better for the Normies to react to Dub since they tend to talk to each other and missed the small font on the screen. The thing with Solo Leveling there is a lot of stuff on the screen, like item descriptions for example. Imagine the Normies trying to read what the characters are saying and read items description, and the names of enemies on the screen. It would be a nightmare without trying to pause every few minutes.

Xonok

Solo leveling won the first poll, but lost the second poll to Frieren but it was close. I don't think Vinland is winning, since its more of a popularity contest. Take solace that its only 12 episodes, and season 2 next year is 13 episodes. You can go back to the archives and watched the original crew with Nahid react to Vinland Saga season 1.

Avery Singleton

Solo Leveling isn’t even finished tho

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

Solo Leveling is a quick one let them get it out the way

Gamara204

I liked SAO; it was my starting anime, but I feel like I remember it better than it was, especially story-wise, so I'd much prefer Solo rather than ruin the memory.

Balmung

I guess we DID sort of promise that Solo Leveling would come after Frieren, so we might as well get it out of the way. Honestly Sword Art Online is better(while not being great)

Manny D.

Apothecary diaries would’ve had my vote ngl

PIKA

Spy Family

Israel

Man after Frieren today I was hoping to see Spy Family😅 But tbh knowing how some of them are, I dont think they're gonna enjoy Vinland Saga. Personally loved the show but there are alot of parts where stuff is going down but important info is being given. So knowing that some of the crew mentioned prefer dub, it might be better to pick Solo. Im here for either or though so it's a win-win😄 Also side note: 86 would be an amazing addition to future list. ESPECIALLY in today's climate.

Captain K'nuckles

Have you ever considered that the reason they keep adding Dr. Stone is that they're genuinely interested in the show? 🤔

Captain K'nuckles

But VS has amazing animation a great story, great voice acting, and an incredible score so why would I vote for SL?

Captain K'nuckles

This poll is literally the Coughing Baby VS Hydrogen Bomb meme and the coughing baby is winning somehow???

Captain K'nuckles

I think they're waiting for Marketa to come back so they can watch It

Captain K'nuckles

It's definitely not. Plus he didn't even like it the first time around so why would this time be any different

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

No spy family?

Ivan

Solo leveling is so damn forgettable.

Lurkingposter

The show few over Marketa's head which is incredibly funny given how deep her media analysis usually is.

Lurkingposter

New crew

Fatherlord

Counterpoint: Who gives a shit if the animation is great if the story isn't good?

Xonok

They already reacted to Vinland Saga season 1

april 🍏

I LOVE Vinland but I don’t think it’s for Pat 💀

KrimzonHawka

Would have preferred Eighty Six as an option but I'll take Solo Leveling

jojoey

They will do it one day😌😌😌 THEY HAVE TO😭😭😭😭 it’s so wholesome

Heavenly Demonic Emperor

Ant Arc don't start until like season 3 or 4 season 2 ia the Demon Tower arc

MR1394

Vinland is better than Solo, so it’s getting my vote, but you know what’s better than Vinland? Spy x Family. Seriously, it’s funny, heart warming, there’s plenty of action, and much more. It honestly kills me that it’s being ignored!

BT

Vinland. Solo feels so slow; there are only a few interesting episodes. Hopefully, S2 with the Ant arc will get better.

Zack Aranda

Eh, they're both bad ;)

Shockzz1234

Comparing Solo to Bleach is disrespectful to Bleach, ngl, how could you!?

Roosevelt

the real question is which english dub for vinland saga

batman831

They should watch neither and watch kill la kill instead

Connor W Bowman

I'm surprised from some of the comments regarding the first crew that was reacting to Vinland a few years back. I thought everyone besides Pat liked it for the most part, especially Mickey from what I remember. Honestly surprised Pat is reacting to Vinland again and not Mickey. Even though Mickey is doing less shows these days.

KingRath

Vinland saga is already on the channel tho. Solo leveling will at least be done in a few months

bondbond53

Who said they will definitely watch Vinland Saga next?

Jafeth Díaz

You guys NEED to watch Vinland Saga

Trey Milliner-Williams

no offense but based off this you arent exactly the type of person that I would value their opinion. Glad you found enjoyment in the show tho

Bob Loblaw

Both are good. I'd love to see what Pat has to say about Vinland lol

Big Time Knights

Yeah, screw it. By the way the poll is going, let them quickly wrap it up and forget about it lol.

Big Time Knights

idk, I would watch John Wick 2 a second time before watching TWBB a second time. As for Vinland, I would watch it many times more than Solo. Power Fantasy, I've seen it so many times. I am assuming you are saying Vinland is more like TWBB.

WhateverIFeelLike

Suraj didn’t put Vinland Saga on this Poll Vinland and Solo Leveling are on this poll because they won the YouTube Poll. Suraj has also read Solo Leveling and wants the others to see it, so he would be happy with either

Griff

Solo leveling would be done in a few months, then Vinland could come next

Griff

Easy choice for Solo Leveling. It’s short and sweet, lots of fun.

bondbond53

How can you even compare the two??? Guys PLEASE vote for Vinland Saga for the love of God

WhateverIFeelLike

The Vinland Saga reactions would be an entirely different group starting all over again from S1. However Vinland would also be an entire year of reactions compared to Solo Leveling which would only be 6 months

greenb3ar

Season 2 would be brand new and why a lot of people want them to react to it. S2 is a masterpiece.

WhateverIFeelLike

The Solo Leveling anime hasn’t even got to the actual story part yet and they’re already making changes to the story. There’s no telling what the story is actually going to look like in the end. However it’s a lot shorter and won’t take a year to get through at 1 episode a week

HouseDogget

Nahh you were being honest about the show.

HouseDogget

Yeah, you can finish taco bell faster than food truck too.

WhateverIFeelLike

The fuck do you mean quick two seasons, Vinland Saga has 2 full cour seasons totalling 48 episodes. A quick 2 seasons would be 2 single cour seasons totalling 24 episodes. 48 episodes at 1 episode a week is just 4 weeks short of an entire year, that is not quick

HouseDogget

Yeah but...Vinland Saga is just better.

HouseDogget

Vinland Saga is anime of the year. Twice. Solo is a fun power fantasy. You're already doing Bleach.

greenb3ar

I really don’t understand why they keep forcing Dr Stone in to every poll. I like the show plenty but it’s not that important to watch. Like it was on the “classic anime” poll too lol

Zack

well its better this shows

Heavenly Demonic Emperor

I picked both ngl wtf... both are peak asf how bout watch both yeah gahhh damn 😭

WhateverIFeelLike

That’s not why it’s on this poll. There was a YouTube poll with 4 shows, the top 2 of which would then be placed on a Patreon only poll for members to vote on the final winner. Vinland Saga and Solo Leveling got more votes than Dr. Stone and Spy x Family on the YouTube poll so they got put on the Patreon poll

Liesmith

Wait what? Fuck, I probably even watched the reactions, too. I might have actual brain damage.

WhateverIFeelLike

I mean they also already watched FMAB and S1 of Vinland Saga. They clearly don’t mind reacting to a show twice as long as the group is different

NorthDtagg

even though solo leveling is the new flashy thing it says somthing that the poll is close. Lets go Vinland

Lurkingposter

Coldest take of all time.

Alex M

They’ll skip that…..

WhateverIFeelLike

There was a public poll on YouTube with 4 options, the top 2 in that poll would then be put in a patreon only poll for members to vote on. Solo Leveling and Vinland Saga got the most votes, so they’re what got put on the Patreon poll. The two options that lost the YouTube poll were Dr. Stone and Spy x Family, arguably better choices, but also much longer at 49 and 38+1 movie respectively. Compared to 12 episodes of Solo Leveling or all 48 episodes of Vinland Saga with a different group since the original group only reacted to S1 It’s unfortunate, but expected as they’re currently doing reactions to FMAB again with a different group

greenb3ar

Lmao I knew the patrons would somehow once again let the Normies down despite how well Vinland did on YouTube. One of the best works of anime losing to another mediocre fighting show.

Michael Jefferson

Hot take: Solo Leveling is all flash, no substance so far. Pure power fantasy gets old fast

Patrick Rukundo

Vinland is peak but solo leveling is a quicker watch and it’s still heat, win/win situation lol

Joey Brock

whole community sleeping on vinland smh hope yall like the recap episode like 7 episodes in tho as if you havent been watching it

Settsu

to be fair they also re reacted to FMAB and AOT so it doesn't matter in that case

Gwyn

Yeah, this is one of the rare occasions the dub is equal, if not better. I vote Dub. (Mainly cause I've already seen sub.)

Manny Jones

Yessssss him and Chris!!!

Gwyn

I need spidey to see the Igris fight.

Settsu

You never know that could also apply to both shows! Ive seen people get no views for solo leveling

Dedroft

This is like comparing There Will Be Blood to John Wick 2

Gwyn

Begging yall to vote for Solo Leveling. It times up perfectly with the release of season 2, and people who call it mid can't appreciate the fantastic animation and music that went into it. The story isn't amazing, but it is improved a lot over the manwha, and the voice acting is phenomenal.

Settsu

yea we need a better crew to react to it. Maybe it was the time they reacted to it with covid restrictions and stuff but they act like the show never existed at one point wtf

Zee

If Vinland loses… especially with a good couch like that…

Settsu

Not choosing Vinland saga is just criminal here. Also Vinland saga should never even be in this situation. Vinland Saga deserves more than being put on a poll twice with the incredible 2 seasons it got! Think about the in-depth conversations and discussion they will have with vinland saga! I need them to see S2 peak please yall

Alex M

I remember so many patrons bitching about FMAB being put back on polls even if some of the normies have already reacted to it, but now they’re doing the same with Vinland Saga but none of those patrons are anywhere to be seen 💀 kinda hilarious

Smash Bran'Discootch

Nah you're right man, I'm just being an ass. Sorry about that 😅

Manny Jones

There was already a mass calling for solo when it first came out and it lost in two separate polls so a lot of fans want them to catch up. Since Vinland is finished they can get to that at any time and there should definitely be be another show opening by that time and they can fill that slot with Vinland

Smash Bran'Discootch

@Manny you know what? Thats entirely fair. I'm doing that thing again where I'm way too far up my own ass, huh? You're right my dude, and I shouldn't be looking down on other folks' just for enjoying something. Full disclosure, my real gripe with Solo Leveling is the way the manhwa ended. But you're absolutely right about sometimes entertainment can just be something that is cool for the sake of being cool. I'm sorry for being an ass, man. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

windextor89 .

solo leveling anime is super mid and havent they already reacted to vinland?? whats with these crap options.

MojoJojoGojo

Vinland all day

Shockzz1234

There is only one goat here and it's Vinland. I'm not Frieren's biggest fan (thought it was good, not amazing) but it's miles better than Solo Levelling, calling Frieren mid and Solo "goat" in the same sentence should land you jail time, my word.

Che Arnold

i didn’t know it came out in jan but still they wouldn’t be done with season one and be starting season two by march when they can just do vineland finish that cause the stories done then start solo since there will be another season after 2

Shockzz1234

Jesus Christ, please not Solo Levelling, it's the most mid power fantasy show/series i've ever seen/read. At least if it wins, it'll be done with quickly.

Kevin Crawford

Solo Leveling has less episodes, so they can get through it faster

Manny Jones

I mean maybe sometimes ppl wanna see cool action just for actions sake lol Vinland is great but why not get thru something shorter and less nuanced before getting into something you really gotta focus on. Solo is great entertainment and would def boost their views and bring a lot more newcomers to the channel imo

Malik Black

They already watched Parasyte

Manny Jones

You do know they can still come back to Vinland right lol solo is fairly short and majority of us wanna see em react to something new. Some of the normies already reacted to Vinland. Nothing wrong with wanting to see action just for actions sake lmao

Manny Jones

Maybe because ppl love the action and high stakes so they wanna see them watch it. Also some of them have already watched season 1 most of us wanna see them react to something new 🤷🏾‍♂️

Liesmith

Since there's not a ton of Solo Leveling episodes yet, they'll be able to get through it quickly and start Parasyte the Maxim.

Edgar

imagine seeing a poll where solo leveling is winning against vinland saga .

Manny Jones

Yeah I know that’s why I added (ofc) after Suraj cuz of the read along. I was keeping up with that and I spoke to him in person about it so I know he’s excited for the rest of the crew to watch it as well

ispeckz--

Goated comment 🙏

Trey Milliner-Williams

no this is Patrick. in all seriousness yall need to relax, I dont like Frieren and think its incredibly boring and it doesnt grasp me. thats fine, if you liked it and apparently a lot of people liked it thats also fine relax

Manny Jones

Huh?? By the time they’d finish 2 seasons of Vinland, solo leveling would be almost done with season 2 lol what makes you think they’d be done with 2 seasons before January??

Big Time Knights

I love that Suraj is enjoying his solo reactions to Vinland Saga so much that he's including it in this poll. The original Normie crew that reacted to it did not appreciate nor understand it. They were expecting the typical shonen anime, except for Nahid.

Smash Bran'Discootch

Because people are basic af 🤷‍♂️🤔😭

Che Arnold

suraj did a read along already on twitch so everyone else would be blind

Smash Bran'Discootch

....This is a joke, right?

Che Arnold

It just makes more sense to vote vineland do the quick two season then just as they are finishing that they can start solo leveling and it’ll just be in time for season 2

Smash Bran'Discootch

Solo leveling is so...basic. It's mindless with no actual story. But the bright colors and flashing lights will hold a lot of people's attention. Pick solo leveling if you want to just turn your brain off, Vinland Saga if you want an actual story. EDIT: I'm being kind of a jerk here. My bad, solo leveling fans.

Adrian Aldridge

Sorry bud. I'll be disappointed with you.

Adrian Aldridge

I like solo leveling so I get to enjoy either series. But to compare these two is wild. Vineland is that s+

christopher aquino

Vinland i like solo but come on dude

Big Time Knights

Suraj already loves Vinland Saga. So much that he's putting it on this poll even if some Normies have already reacted to it. Solo is cool but it's another typical Shonen.

Trey Milliner-Williams

what does that have to do with what I said my G lol.

DeadshotDak

I agree 💯 don't know why people want sub cause dub is just infinitely better for this anime

Big Time Knights

Frieren won anime of the year.

Brakthir

Vinland is probably one of the best anime shows to ever be created. Solo Leveling is a generic power fantasy. pick yer poison

Manny Jones

Pleaseeeee Solo Leveling especially with S2 coming out in January!! We deff need Suraj (ofc), Chris, Spidey, Rana, Navi, & Pat for this show 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I wish Marketa could join the show too but idk how available either her or Chris would be with their new baby 🥲🫶🏾
