Soul Eater should be added to this list. It's complete, not too long, and amazing.

Honnestly if you love death note and Avatar, it means you love deep character developpement or storylines. I would recommand a short 1 season anime called Erased
annie
im so glad jjk is leading 2nd place, i adore that show🥲
Eric Gjertsen
S1 of Promised Neverland was so good...I wish S2 was less of a disappointment.
Tue Zepernick
How about Psycho Pass? It has a really great and deep story, with great intellectual depth, including philosophy, psychology, and state craf. Plus, it has a good english dub, and despite its high production value, not that many has made reactions of it. I think it's right up your alley :)
David L
It definitely has an uphill battle, but I believe we can get there. Totally bias but it's too perfect for this audience not to gain traction.
Regular Grayzone
Code Geass, Cyberpunk, Promised Neverland (NOT S2) and Spy Family Skip S2 of PN.... It just fumbles around, disjointed from the manga.
Regular Grayzone
The first season was really good though. Wouldn't it be worth it to only recommend S1 and make it clear that the rest of the story must be explored through the manga?
Mariana J
I suggest you read the promised neverland in your own time instead of watching it, simply for the fact that the second half of the anime is not faithful to the manga (or good)
GM Richter
I always Suggest Code Geass. It is an outstanding anime.
Addy Sandoval
Promised Neverland would be a great follow up to Death Note and I think many others would agree. If you like the “cat and mouse” aspects of Death Note.
Azi
There are a lot of good shows in this poll which makes it really hard to choose just one. Spy Family is leading and I’m sure y’all would love it
Nekojin
I'm surprised Eminence in Shadow is not amont the choices
roguegabe
Fruits Basket is the only shoujo on here :( which means its definitely not gonna win🥲 but 100% you will love it
Norrin Radd
The English dub is really good.
Norrin Radd
There’s some absolute juggernauts on this poll, sheesh! I voted for Promised Neverland because that first season is an absolute masterpiece!
Camilo Mella
I ignored that tidbit. I see
Matt Lievens
They've stated a few times that they really can't do subs. They have some audio processing issues that make subs really hard for them to watch
Camilo Mella
Please watch the sub version of Spy vs Family when it wins
John M
Fruits Basket is a must for you guys at some point. Your deep analysis of the characters and story makes this hands down one of the perfect reaction channels to watch this incredible series. I doubt it would ever win a poll against Chainsaw Man, JJK, etc. But I have no doubt you would be hooked after the first 1-2 episodes…
Geneva
I voted for spy family but the first season of promised Neverland is really good
Janne
awh man, i LOVE mob psycho 100, its my favourite anime ever TuT that wouldve been awesome, but i dont think its gonna win this lmao! i dont know most of the other shows, so itll be interesting to see :D
CC
I haven't seen the anime for SpyxFamily or Fruits Basket yet but I read both manga and loved them. Promised Neverland is great too!
CC
I love Erased!
Jinchuriki87
SO happy to see jujutsu kaisen made it into the running! It's a great show and season 2 starts up soon as well. so by the time yall got through season 1, y'all could probably go straight into 2 at that point or potentially do a reaction to the movie (which was awesome!) Others mentioned it, but hunter x hunter could be a great option. And have yall ever considered doing a longer show (like Naruto or bleach?)
Tom Horne
There are 2 filler episodes in the entirety of HxH, which are recap episodes. The "boring" episodes you are talking about are crucial to the plot or development, especially later on during the invasion where everything happens super fast, so the anime has to slow things down and show you what everyone is doing. HxH isn't just a combat show, it has a lot of deep themes, especially about humanity.
Mya
I would love a reaction to spy x family. It has great topics to discuss I think you two would do well with and every episode is fun!
Mya
I love hunter x hunter but its too longer with too many filler episodes. Id be so bored during some arcs till the action finally happened.
jolly
you guys NEED to add hunter x hunter 2011 to the list!!! it’s a long show but it’s incredible
Justin Spencer
I’m surprised hxh 2011 isn’t on the list you guys loved fma brotherhood and in terms of themes and characters they have a lot in common it is even a remake like brotherhood attempting to be closer to the source material. It is long fyi
Matthew clavell
there will always be people that want the sub, the dub isnt that bad stop lyin
Wade Kruse
I’m not sure why people are shitting on the dub, because the Spy X Family cast does a great job. Hope it wins, it’s a fun, wholesome show I think you’d both enjoy.
Sam Cam
Same here so hopefully they look into that if spy family wins
MacarooniR0b
True. I’m usually not a subtitle supremacist, but the sub for Spy x Family is far superior to the dub.
Sam Cam
Spy family’s dub is horrendous keep that in mind
Hank Hills Sugar Baby
I believe both of you would like Neon Genesis Evangelion
brosenthalUO
Fruits Basket is a gem with a stellar dub, it would be something that would get Montana's psych brain whurring and have lots of tearbending. Also watching you two watch what is partially a love story would be so cute.
Jenoze Wyvern
Looking forward to the day where Hunter X Hunter or Kakegurui are in the vote, since both of them has their dubbed version ^^
Jenoze Wyvern
Looking forward for the day
Markub El Jaden
Haven't ya'll learned anything from the Demon Slayer reactions? Not because you like a popular shonen anime that doesn't mean it will be good for a reaction for them specifically (especially since it will be in dub)
James Rabbit
Spy x Family isn't a bad show by any means, but it is very episodic, so I don't think it would lend itself well to your style of reaction content, where you break down the character arcs and their mental state as it progresses over the run of the show, mostly because there isn't a lot of progression.
Mortis
Hey man don’t knock chainsaw man.
cosmotron
I'm finding out from all of these comments that I apparently don't like Code Geass as much as the average anime fan lol. Just not something I'd personally label a classic, but everyone has different tastes for that sort of thing haha.
Iago
Please be aware that many people doesn't even know older anime. I bet most chainsaw and jujutsu kaisen votes have never seen code geass. The fact that most options are less than 5 years old says a lot. Sure it is what gets hyped nowadays, but Code Geass is just a classic, in the same level as Death Note. I am sure you will notice the difference between something like attack on titan, death note, code geass, and anime like demon slayer. Recent anime are too childish really. One anime I feel like both of you will just love is Monster. Monster is one of the best stories out there, it has detective/mistery elements on it, and it is a very mature show. But, if you are doing just for the views and the growth of the channel, then good luck with chainsaw man, jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer.
James S
Chainsaw Man is my top choice followed by Edgerunners and Spy X Family. I think the insanity and awesomeness of CSM would be fun to watch (plus season 1 is 12 episodes, so no a super long run)
Swanzy
BLEACH is a good one to consider down the line too x
Jesse Ramsden
I think you guys would really enjoy Ranking of Kings 👏🏼👏🏼
Micaiah Wilkes
Also code geass is similar to Death Note with both protagonist becoming gods
Zach Feifel
Can I make the recommendation of "The Legend of Vox Machina"
Micaiah Wilkes
Also I JUST became a $20 patron right now and I'd subscribe for another month if you did!
Micaiah Wilkes
I cant stop watching code geass please watch the eng dub version starring the Johnny young bosch!
Mortis
Fruits basket is a masterpiece show and I could see it being one of you guy’s favorite shows ever but it’s not gonna win a poll it’s to underrated in the west. You guys just need to decide to watch it. You guys will love it and fruits basket fans dying for more reactions will love it
JSB
I love chainsaw man, but I’ll be honest. I don’t believe montana could handle all the gore that comes with chainsaw man. I’m just going by her reactions to mild at best gore from other anime’s. Also My Dress Up Darling should be on the list over Fruits Basket.
Ethan Brown
Please for the love of all that is good.... watch Code Geass. I was talking to afriend earlier today about it and the following around a show like Deathnote. In our opinion, Code Geass did it first, and did it better. :)
Anthony Vargas
So many great picks but I gotta go with chainsaw man
Liz
I cant believe fruit baskets is a option!!! I'm dieing right now they would love that show!!!!!!
Æther Paradox
It's like taking duolingo and only taking advanced lessons and then trying to speak in the country who's language you learned. You're not gonna understand the nuances and miss a lot of the themes that are present in these newer shows because these directors are assuming that you have seen Naruto or seen bleach and you can just GET the weird magic systems. If FMA thought us anything it is that people get really hify about their anime.
Æther Paradox
In reality it's always good to get a grip for the basics before you dive into the pits. There is no denying that Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece have revolutionized how eastern animation is perceived in the west in addition to DBZ. Of those 4 shows that are the pillars that most other anime that became popular in the west built off of we have watched 0. HxH and Fairy Tail were the next closest to that influence level in the west and so I would start people there. Cuz nothing will amass hate comments quite like saying an aspect of a show is like Jujitsu Kaisen when it was paying homage to a foundational show.
Æther Paradox
But isn't it unfair to Kenny and Montana to make them have to commission new art, learn a whole new cast of characters and the world they they are in every month? Like, they got FLAMED every time they got the smallest thing wrong with FMA or Death Note. Avatar was the first show they did and followed it by Korra. HxH is like 138 episodes. It would be nice and consistent and take them ~1 year to finish. Plus the people who they attract to join the patron because of the longer show will stay subbed longer as opposed to those who signed up for demon slayer and are already gone 🤷🏽♂️ and they are taking on MHA which is A. Longer, and B Not done yet. At least Fairy Tail is done and HxH is coming back, but has been "done" for over a decade.
EssDeeAre
HunterxHunter and Fairy Tail are very long rides. Perhaps unfairly so for other Patrons who would like to see them watch other series.
EssDeeAre
Hate to see Code Geass lagging behind. It's a truly amazing anime, and its dubbing is really solid. Hope to see it get the reaction series it deserves someday soon!
Recable
Code Geass is really good, hope that's the one you end up watching, and as others have said, you should watch completed shows, or at least near to completed shows that will finish before you get to a point where you have to wait.
fr0st
I feel like y'all are going to have to basically decide on the direction for the channel with anime. You can go the shonen route, with more action based shonen anime, or the more wholesome route with slice of life or comedy/romance anime.
exhausted
My heart hurts that Violet Evergarden and Erased aren't up here, but Imma keep recc-ing them on the dl lol but Spyxfamily is such a sweet show and is really popular rn! It'll be a fun break from the drama of the last anime you've seen.
Jericho
I definitely think you guys would love Fruits Basket, there are tons of really lovable characters, lots of psychological stuff for Montana to analyze, plus its got a killer dub!
Carl
PPPPPLLLEEEAAASEEE CONSIDERR WATCHING COWBOY BEBOP!!!!!! i need some backing on this, i know y'all(the community not the reactors) know how much praise the show has and how good it is
Æther Paradox
Kenny would cry CONSTANTLY with the brother/sibling love
Amadhe
Log Horizon is a lesser known show, but near and dear to my heart. It has excellent worldbuilding and a wide cast of amazing characters, but it’s a bit of a slow burn. Even if you don’t end up reacting to it, I highly recommend you should to watch it.
Roy Meulblok
I am pretty sure Edgerunners is supervised** by Project Red themselves with the help of Studio Trigger.
cosmotron
Yeah, Fruits Basket would be so great for them to cover. I hope more people vote for it.
Eric Heim
They shouldn't watch something that's still coming out. We should prioritize shows that are completed. I would hate for them to have 10 shows waiting for new seasons or on hiatus. 1) no satisfying finale and 2) if they all return in the same season trying to figure out what to start releasing first.
Leighton Williams
I'm so sad Fruits Basket doesn't have more votes, I really think that's a show you guys would enjoy, especially when it comes to discussions of mental health and family dynamics
Darby
please jujutsu kaisen!!! its a perfect stepping stone i think
Daolord Badlands
I feel like people get too caught up on the fan service in Code Geass. Sure it's not necessary, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be watched. It's a Legendary ride.
fr0st
These are replacing the anime show, so it makes sense that western animation.is not in this list
fr0st
Spy x family and fruits basket would be right up.your alleys. Chainsaw man is excellent but absolutely would not be Montana's thing, imo.
Robin B
Spy x Family is an awesome show! It's very light and funny, and there aren't that many episodes to be up to date so it would even be possible to start another show after this one pretty fast
Robin B
I would sign up for Fairy Tail but it would be a loooooong ride 😂
Æther Paradox
Also why has nobody said hunter x hunter or Fairy Tail 😭😭😭
Æther Paradox
Is this for Sunday or Thursday? Cuz you guys have kept the serious/fun shows separate.
cosmotron
Considering all the (extremely weird and pointless) fanservice in Code Geass I'm honestly surprised its been recommended lol.
Roy Meulblok
Sad that The Legend of Vox Machina isn't in the list T_T but there are still a bunch of great choices in the list! So I made my vote.
Oliver Ryburn
Cyberpunk might have to be patron exclusive if you ever do react to if do to the explicit scenes
JennatheBreadQueen
omg y’all would LOVE spyxfamily!!!
Gabriel Dobson
If you watch The Promised Neverland at any point just stick to Season 1. I don’t know what they were thinking for Season 2, but it was so bad it’ll never be finished and that’s a real shame. My vote is towards Fruits Basket and Spy x Family for shows that are bit more light hearted :)
xiolette
mob psycho gang where're you at 😭 you KNOW it would be perfect for them
Cassandra Nightshade
JJK but like...My Hero Academia 🤣🥰😘
Gareth
Easy to get through
Gareth
Short
Gareth
And it’s shory
Gareth
The promised never land is sooooo underrated and good
Addison Warns
OMG, please watch Fruit Basket 😊
Boolanda
Edgerunners blew me away, I didn’t know anything about cyberpunk going in and after watching that show I instantly bought cyberpunk 2077 and since I have gotten every achievement for it and have beaten the game multiple times. The animation in the show is top notch and everything about the cyberpunk universe is just so cool imo. Music is S tier as well
Echodec
CSM, JJK, and edgerunners are great shows, but Mob Psycho seems like a really good fit for you 2. I also think ranking of kings would be great.
Bradley Hall
Code GEASS. if you like death note you'll probably enjoy code geass.
opheli
as much as i adore chainsaw man and would LOVE for y’all to watch that, mob psycho really is perfect you guys. cannot recommend it enough, you would love it
Eileen Hinman
JJK / CSM hive rise
