UPCOMING SERIES HERE AT THE GOOSH
Added 2019-04-10 16:01:02 +0000 UTCWe can see where the poll looks like it's gonna be a neck and neck finish between JoJo and Avatar. I know that pleases a lot of you, and others not so much.
Now that we've been doing these polls for awhile, I can see some patterns developing. Because of this, what I'm thinking is, would you guys like it if I select the series which follow our current group at the $1 level? (Yu Yu, Bebop, Hellsing Ultimate & Death Note.)
After Yu Yu, I believe those are all relatively short series. Once we catch up, if you guys think it's a good idea, I can select a series to watch based on feedback I get from you guys. This would give a chance to the shows that a lot of people seem to enjoy, but always come up just a little bit short in the polls: Stuff like Code Geass, Hajime No Ippo and Fate/Zero.
If I select them, I'll do shorter ones first, but that way, you guys who are fans of these shows that don't seem to quite make it to the top will get to know they are upcoming.
We'd still do polls for the shows in the slot that will be JoJo or Avatar, as well as polling you guys at each "pause" point we have set up for One Piece, to see if you want to take a break or if you'd prefer to keep going.
One Piece is definitely our anchor (get it; an awesome nautical term thrown in?!) but I like to make sure everyone gets represented with what they like.

I’d still like to see the full 6 episode golden boy dub reaction. 😂 like out of the 300 series I’ve seen, still the funniest anime I’ve ever seen. Could finish it in a week and select the follow up anime right afterwards.
2019-04-11 17:23:35 +0000 UTCYeah lol the fanbase here is pretty circlejerky about the big 3 and other generic shonen - MAL ratings don't really factor in, popularity is more important but that's the case with nearly all reactors. People out here claiming One Piece is the best anime of all time lmao.

2019-04-11 15:55:17 +0000 UTCA Shame Rurouni Kenshin probably wont be for a while. I'd say Kenshin could probably become one of your favourite if not your favourite characters in anime based on your personality.

2019-04-11 12:15:08 +0000 UTCThis is gonna be a tough sell but I feel like if we can somehow convince Curtis to watch another multi-hundred episode series then Gintama would be amazing, it really seems like his kind of thing
Charlie Sims
2019-04-11 09:59:01 +0000 UTCyou should also watch Eyeshield 1 I dont like sports so i didnt watch sports anime but I watched Those two at the same time and theyre both great but to be fair being an anime can make any sport epic even cycling

2019-04-11 08:22:58 +0000 UTCSounds good. I noticed that a lot of the shows on the poll have amazing dubs too, like Fate Zero, Assassination Classroom, Code Geass, etc.
Batman's Pet Goldfish
2019-04-11 04:31:59 +0000 UTCHajime is life changing it amazes me that people don't watch it just because it's a sports anime or boxing anime. I don't like sports anime Hajime is the only one Ive watched and it's a contender for top spot along with hunter x hunter it's that good.
2019-04-11 01:30:48 +0000 UTCBebop, Avatar, and Fate/zero are all hype af

2019-04-11 00:25:39 +0000 UTCSomething I find interesting is what type of group we actually have gathered here because I think a lot of these results might not mesh all that well with what the general populace thinks? Shows that dont get a lot of love here are the highest rated anime of all time, meanwhile a lot of smaller shows have a really solid backing. Jojo and Avatar might not be the best examples though since Jojo is a meme and Avatar is what a lot of western later too be anime fans grew up on Example: Steins Gate is actually higher rated than HxH on MAL. With more votes. But here🤔 Code Geass and Clannad are also higher rated than anything else on the voting list

2019-04-10 22:20:00 +0000 UTCSounds good
2019-04-10 21:39:30 +0000 UTCThat's what I'm thinking: When we finish the series we have planned at the $1 level, it will provide a great opportunity for some of the "just on the outside" animes to get in. :-)
Spaz Boys Comedy
2019-04-10 21:14:42 +0000 UTCHonestly, I think it's a good idea. Code Geass would probably win eventually, but some lesser know anime would never win over the flood of more popular stuff. I know with 100% certainty that Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is a perfect series for you and only 13 episodes long. I would much rather see stuff like that get put on the $1 list and wait forever to see it than never see it at all.

2019-04-10 21:06:05 +0000 UTCI havent watched Jojo and maybe never will but the "OH MY GAWD" and "HOLY SHIIIIIIIT" memes are pretty cool
Meelog Malterion
2019-04-10 20:51:09 +0000 UTCI really hope it's Avatar. I'm not really a huge Jo Jo fan. Totally get the appeal.... It just isn't my thing.

2019-04-10 20:32:59 +0000 UTCGo for it

Charlie
2019-04-10 19:30:26 +0000 UTCI'm just talking about what I might have coming up at the $1 level after the already scheduled series there are caught up.

2019-04-10 19:19:20 +0000 UTCI'm not sure what you're saying, Curtis. Could you rephrase it?
Scryehard
2019-04-10 19:07:54 +0000 UTCAVATAR!!!!!!!
2019-04-10 19:06:06 +0000 UTCI think if one Anime wins a Poll you should watch the hole Thing. I´m saying that even though i don´t like One Piece... and this is a very very long Anime. I´ll just wait till Bleach will do its way in.
Daniel Ammann
2019-04-10 18:17:39 +0000 UTCSince there are so many series that are within 3% of one another, I think it would be interesting to have another vote WITHOUT JoJo's or Avatar. That way we see how close they really are to one another (without half the votes going to two properties)
Someone101
2019-04-10 18:13:50 +0000 UTCI think its also good to decided which show you watch based on Myanimelist highest ranked Top 50 and most watched(by member) top 50. Thus, you will both enjoy greatest shows and more people will join GushGush because of their high popularity Highest ranked Top 50: <a href="https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php</a> Most popular Top 50: <a href="https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=bypopularity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=bypopularity</a>

2019-04-10 17:54:29 +0000 UTCGreat idea. Mainstream anime’s take over the polls and it would be great for you to see these less appreciated masterpieces
Colin
2019-04-10 17:52:49 +0000 UTCAnime just means animation in Japanese. It’s basically a cartoon
Colin
2019-04-10 17:51:49 +0000 UTCHe doesnt just react to anime
PKKite
2019-04-10 17:40:46 +0000 UTCIts a series with other series within its a giant mess and your only defending it cause your a fan.
PKKite
2019-04-10 17:39:43 +0000 UTCAlso to clarify on Fate zero, to people who say it's confusing. That just shows what you got from it, don't it fellas? It's perfectly contained and coherent with no need for outside knowledge, go out and search on youtube there's plenty of channels who've done fate zero reactions knowing nothing and they got everything by the end perfectly fine, so maybe that confusion is just on your part eh?
Souji
2019-04-10 17:38:05 +0000 UTCZero was made specifically to be watched first, and it explains what it needs to explain and sets up the story of UBW, ufotable's UBW was meant to be watched after Zero as it was produced later and it directly spoils Zero too, while Zero doesn't spoil UBW. it's better to go into Zero not knowing how it ends from watching UBW innit? the things you think he will miss in it are unnecessary details for diehard type moon fans that no one would get just from watching the anime version of either of them anyway.
Souji
2019-04-10 17:33:39 +0000 UTCYeah that sounds good Curtis. I'd love to see Fate zero and whatever else underdog there is. Also maybe just doing both the shows that were close to winning as a queue sort of thing is better than running another poll.
Souji
2019-04-10 17:29:35 +0000 UTCi would classify avatar as an "american" anime, but its still an amazing story with amazing characters so im glad it might be the one.
Verth37
2019-04-10 17:26:37 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to the Fate Series I cannot stress enough how much of a bad idea it would be to watch Fate/Zero first. It’s nature as a prequel means Curtis would miss a lot of cool stuff that he would have already pick up if he watched one of the previous ones. Plus it’s ending (and I’m not spoiling anything specific) is very, very depressing. With one upside which he wouldn’t get unless he watched one of the previous anime. Personally I suggest Unlimited Blade Work.
2019-04-10 17:21:00 +0000 UTCI don't want to give the wrong impression: The poll winner will most definitely be honored. I'm just talking about what will be coming up at the $1 level once we catch up on the series that are already planned there.
Spaz Boys Comedy
2019-04-10 17:12:25 +0000 UTCAvatar isn’t even an anime, I don’t know how it even got to the poll...
2019-04-10 17:02:29 +0000 UTCCurtis I think the poll pretty much speaks for itself as Avatar and JoJo being the thing the large majority of people want the most. All of the shows on the list are actually really good and the people who are trash talking those are mostly loud minority sore that they're vote isn't what everyone else wanted. So they're kinda overcompensating this by barking the loudest and taking things way too personally. I know you want to make everyone happy but I wouldn't feed into this. They got their vote and it didn't win. I think we should honor the poll but at the end of the day it's whatever you wanna do man. That's why I enjoy watching your vids. So umm... thanks for putting up with us Curtis! lol ^^
SlushiesAndStuff
2019-04-10 17:00:29 +0000 UTCI don't know why it would take away from the overall choice, as that one we would be watching, as well.
Spaz Boys Comedy
2019-04-10 17:00:18 +0000 UTCIf I open up the option for more than one vote, it also allows for multiple votes on the same option... Unless they've changed things. That, of course, won't work. And, as far as the poll, we're only takin one from there, so why not make it the one that is at the top of the most peoples' lists?
Spaz Boys Comedy
2019-04-10 16:52:00 +0000 UTCSounds like a great idea! :D
Simon Ovesen
2019-04-10 16:48:42 +0000 UTCZero is fairly self contained though. There will of course be some things left unsolved and/or not explained in a very detailed manner, but you can still understand most of it.
Simon Ovesen
2019-04-10 16:45:41 +0000 UTCI think you should allow one person to vote on several choices. Right now you are getting people's top picks, while what you get when people can vote on several choices is what most people would be happy enough watching.
Miklar Sihn
2019-04-10 16:32:20 +0000 UTCOh so what, is One Piece like the best anime now or something...? C’mon you can’t possibly expect him to watch it all the way through like that. The plan has always been to take breaks from anyway.
Akettaja The Finnish Moron
2019-04-10 16:28:51 +0000 UTCif you need any help with this just ask curtis, I can look into series that are suggested to sort things out
Chrome
2019-04-10 16:27:42 +0000 UTCWhat exactly counts as the feedback you get from us? Cause atm idk, it feels like this takes away from the overall choice a bit but also gives series that constantly get into polls but never rack up the votes (like code geass, seven deadly sins, steins gate ect) a chance. Im 50/50 on it myself
Lewd Angel
2019-04-10 16:22:26 +0000 UTCHow long will we have to wait if jojo loses to vote for it again
2019-04-10 16:20:07 +0000 UTCWell that's your shit opinion
Eddie Penalver
2019-04-10 16:20:05 +0000 UTCRespect
James
2019-04-10 16:19:03 +0000 UTCNope!!! No breaks for one piece
MarvelKnight101
2019-04-10 16:18:28 +0000 UTCYay!
Schmul Sjifris
2019-04-10 16:18:23 +0000 UTCWell... Not really. Zero is a prequal, Fate Fate Fate UBW and Fate HF are all equally canon. All other Fate works are also Fate works, these are just Fate Stay Night part of the franchise. It is complicated, but you dont have to make it all that complicated, just watching Zero and UBW would be fine
Schmul Sjifris
2019-04-10 16:17:16 +0000 UTCThat could actually work pretty well. I’m sure a lot of people will be happy with it too.
2019-04-10 16:15:08 +0000 UTCThat is a very great idea, accommodating and at the same time comprehensive, and it as you mentioned giving time we will eventually watch all of them and more.
2019-04-10 16:12:29 +0000 UTCI dont really understand what youre saying tbh but im looking forward to avatar (especially since jojos is really bad)
Darkslifer#27
2019-04-10 16:12:02 +0000 UTCNever pause One Piece for shitty anime, don’t settle for anything less.
2019-04-10 16:10:33 +0000 UTCHe had said that he will watch boruto if it somehow gets voted in
Darkslifer#27
2019-04-10 16:08:46 +0000 UTCI dont know if you've answered this. But are you going to react to boruto? I dont enjoy it as much as I did naruto but getting to watch reactions on the future of naruto and sasuke would be great
2019-04-10 16:07:59 +0000 UTCPretty sure he means last airbender
Darkslifer#27
2019-04-10 16:07:30 +0000 UTCBy the way with Fate all you have to do is watch the two main series - Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay night UBW, all the others are spinoffs - it's really not as complicated as people are making out
Tpoints
2019-04-10 16:06:29 +0000 UTCSo accommodating! I'm glad I finally subscribed! I think banging out the shorter anime while voting for the longer one's is a great idea!
Jeremiah
2019-04-10 16:05:55 +0000 UTCThat's a great idea - it's really awesome how much you try to accommodate everyone. I also think you should have a hand in picking the series that interests you the most - but that might be a bit controversial. Either way this is a fantastic idea
Tpoints
2019-04-10 16:05:19 +0000 UTCPlus dont watch fate if u arent gonna get dedicated it is very confusing without watching massive content from it
2019-04-10 16:04:32 +0000 UTCThe thing about the fate series is that it’s super complicated and if you want context for it you have read Books and watch many anime. I really don’t see it as a possibility. Otherwise, this sounds like a great plan.
