    Let's gooo!
    I remember searching for Evangelion reactions, and I saw your channel, and I remember being surprised as in how hasn't youtube recommended this channel to me before!? hahaha.
    I love reaction channels, I remember going straight up to your reaction of episode 24, the one with Kaworu!
    And when I saw that the discussion of the episode was around 1 hour, we had board-kun, I was like: "yeah, this is it" hahaha.
    Oh and when I saw that you were reacting to Berserk, Blue lock, Monster and so on I was like damn, she's reacting to pure peak, what a good timing!
    I sincerely hope the channel keeps growing, you've been doing a great job and consistently which is even more impressive!
    Have a great new year!

    Hi Romania
    I got to know about you after searching for Ace of the diamond reactions as I had just finished season 1. You were so ahead of me on season 2 but I tried to catch up all the reactions as quickly as possible and was caught up with you. Would regularly comment on your channel. I stayed for AOT, again it was so worth watching your commentary on it. They were fun times. Also, one of those people who suggested March comes in like a lion. I am so happy that it’s your number 1 watch of this year. Haven’t been able to watch reactions weekly because there’s so much to do and I don’t mentally have the energy to watch and comment. I’ll try to watch them as soon as I get some clarity in life but yeah you are awesome and the experience of watching your reactions to AOD and AOT will be very high up in my anime journey. So thank you.
    Hope you have a great next year 🙌

      Also some new recommendations that I think you will enjoy even if you want to watch/read it in your own time.
      1. Ao Ashi (sports) - I would definitely recommend the manga for this. Season 1 was good but not that impactful according to me. Not sure if season 2 will come out or not. The manga for this is the easiest I have ever read. The story is great, the art is very easy to follow. You’ll have a great time with it. Definitely my top 3 sports stories.
      PS. To bribe(😅) you a bit more, it’s the closest to Ace and Haikyuu in terms of character development, hype, emotions and more.
      2. Kaguya Sama (romcom) - I am not sure if you have reacted to something like this on the channel and what your reactions to this series would be like hence want you to watch this one 😂. It’s a perfect blend of comedy and romance with a lot of heart and emotions as well. Not as shallow as it seems.

      Hey, thanks, but like I said in the video, I go in completely blind to series, so bribery like this won't get me to watch these shows - you are welcome to join as a patron for the month and make a recommendation, but if you do, please don't include ANY information - content creator etiquette, but I don't want to know details - I trust going in 100% blind that you know the quality when you make a recommendation. So I couldn't read this comment but I appreciate the effort.

      Thank you for the comment and kind words! Definitely feel free at any time to catch up with those reactions, they are there for you all at any time! Thanks for the support and have a great year!

    This was a fun summary to listen to! Thanks for all your reactions this year! I really like your reactions and I have been watching them a few years now.
    I'm so happy that you appreciate March Comes in Like a Lion so much, it's my second favourite anime ever and my favourite manga. This series just has my heart and I love every aspect of it so much, I'm so glad that you put it first, it absolutely deserves that!!!!
    As for other series, I'm catching up on your Apothecary Diaries reaction since it's a series that I also really enjoy and it's definitely in my top 10 favourite anime (I have read all 12 light novels, but I'm still incredibly excited to see season 2 and all the great stuff animated, so cant wait for that.
    I recently watched Delicious in Dungeon and I loved it so much, it's honestly so fun, it's great, I wasn't expecting to like it this much, so I'll to catch up on your reactions for it as well.
    I also watched Dandadan recently and it's really fun as well, can't wait for your reactions!
    And I also binged Link Click after seeing it recommended so many times, and I loved it, I cried so much watching it and I was lowkey tramautised by season 2, it's so good!
    So, all of these are great, and thank you for your reactions once more, happy new year!

    This was a fun Top 20 list to see, it had both some surprises and also easiest top 2-3 to predict - even though it was probably a bit harder than that for you to actually choose them, lol. But yeah, before you started March Comes in like a Lion and Madoka I expected you to like them, and still, my expectations were exceeded after actually watching your reactions to those series' and witnessing how much you're invested in them. Once again, your top 2024 results make me hopeful that you'll get to the remaining big studio Shaft series (Monogatari) soon tm, though it has the length going against it and thus fewer opportunities to be in the polls. But seeing your channel grow and you going strong for 4 years already I'll just continue thinking it's a matter of time, especially now that you got to experience studio Shaft's titles.
    Just in general the channel had so many of my favs in one year it's kinda crazy. Monster, 3-gatsu, Madoka, Land of the Lustrous and from newer titles Apothecary Diaries and Frieren. I'm often scouring reaction channels for just one of those and to get the reactions and lengthy discussions to all of them in such a relatively short time is wild. And there's another fav of mine coming (Ping Pong) soon too. So thank YOU for providing so many hours of entertainment in my life. Definitely hope the next year will be a bit easier for you with the workload and the amount of series you juggle too.

    Congratulations on your channel growth and what you have achieved so far!!
    I have huge admiration for your work and your dedication towards every series you watch.
    Maintaining a youtube channel is honestly difficult, a while back I tried to write my thoughts on and opinions on twitter about the new shows I watch(I started watching MHA).
    After writing a few opinion pieces, I just didn't want to write anymore, and started procrastinating, and eventually stopped.
    It was due to a lot of factors, my academic work and personal work were my priority so naturally I wasn't able to save much of my time to write after watching the show, there I realised, it's not at all easy to be a good content creator. It might look fun, but when you start doing it, you may lose interest and just don't want to continue anymore.
    Plus, less engagement is also a factor sometimes. I had very little of it, so I often wondered if no one's watching or interacting, what's the point in putting so much effort.
    Therefore, you are one my favourite reaction/youtube channel in general, cause being able to do such in depth videos with so much efficiency and also balancing your personal and professional life, with very little help and that too with so much enthusiasm, even for shows/mangas/light novels that don't get that much traction and then editing them on top of that. I absolutely am always amazed by your sincerity and discipline.

    I just wanted to say that I'm 30 and also just started physical therapy for various reasons. I won't go into why, but I just wanted to share and say thank you for being vulnerable about that and that I understand some of those feelings (to a degree. ofc we're all on different journeys). I'm fine, though! and I'm glad to hear you're prioritizing your wellbeing alongside the great content you make for the channel. Happy New Years, Romania!

    @scrubactually 13 часов назад +2

    I’m glad that March Comes in Like a Lion is your number one! I think you’re really going to enjoy Ping Pong the Animation because imo it shares a lot of the same strengths as 3gatsu. Looks like I’ll be doing a Thursday rewatch of another of my all time favourite shows to start 2025. 😊

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  12 часов назад

      Ahhhh, thank you!! Oh my gosh, I've watched the first episode of Ping Pong and am already SO excited for the series -- I'm glad that you're excited too and on board for the ride! Thank you for the comment!

  • @DiamondLongplays
    @DiamondLongplays 15 часов назад +1

    As big of a fan of the series as I am, I do enjoy a good spite ranking lol. And I don't blame you tbh, its my big annoyance with fanbases getting too rabid and can sully your enjoyment of them. Monster also was well worth the hype for me this year, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great video Romania here's to a great 2025! Also i'm sorry about shin splints and muscle issues, can definitely relate to that (the human body is an awful design made of flimsy materials!)

  • @skwiggilymcjagger9747
    @skwiggilymcjagger9747 12 часов назад +4

    March Comes in like a Lion Fans Rejoice!!! Nobody thinks they want to watch it, but when they do, they are really glad they did!
    Edit: Just my two cents, your bit about envy and choosing popular shows for more growth or shows you want to watch is a difficult dilemma. On one hand if a reactor is more niche in their tastes I usually watch less of their stuff, but I also appreciate them more as a reactor. If you only picked out the top 3 shows of each season to react to I would watch you a lot more, but it wouldn't feel like you're enjoying it as much as you could (but even that doesn't necessarily follow).

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  4 часа назад

      March is sooooo good! I'm so glad I watched it and I hope others do in the future, if this video can do anything, hopefully it will encourage them!
      It IS a paradox - honestly, I'm not getting paid by RUclips, so Patreon is my source of income with this channel, so I let Patreon decide what I watch usually - except Fridays, where it's my choice. There are a lot of factors that go into what goes on the polls -- and honestly, I want my channel to grow and there are a lot of current shows I really want to get into - with doing 7-8 shows on the channel, it doesn't leave a lot of room, so hopefully patrons recommend in the Survey I'm putting out this coming month, some of the shows coming up and if a slot opens up and I see some new shows coming out, I'll have them on there.
      At least with Dungeon Meshi and DandaDan, better late than never, right? And usually if a season 2 is coming up or a future season for a series, I try to plan around that and make decisions where I can watch that season as it comes out. I hope that helps explain! Thank you so much for the comment and support!

    Puella being number 2 well yesss!!! So excited for you to finish revolutionary girl and see how you feel about it and the magical girl genre going forward. Perhaps lead us to some other iconic series on the channel! (Princess tutu, magic knight rayearth?)

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  13 часов назад

      Princess Tutu has been on my radar from patreon suggestions, so I will be excited if it makes the polls this coming year! There's going to be a patreon survey out so we'll see if it gets in the cut! But yessss, PMMM got me into the magical girl genre and Utena is carrying on the tradition! I am LOVING Utena and know it will be high on the list next year! Thank you for the comment!

    So true about envy being so hard to deal with.
    I may have to look into that next tear in January, there this one string of anime movies that I really enjoy, but it super deep and complex so not many reactors touch it with a ten foot pole 😂

  • @adva1282
    @adva1282 15 часов назад +1

    On the last channel update I mentioned how Dandadan was on my radar and you watching it was the perfect excuse for me to watch it. Well, I DID watch it over the last few days, and wow, it was quite good. Obviously not going to spoil anything but I'm usually not into that kind of genres, and it still felt engaging from beginning to end, so that must be a good sign, right? Excited for Dandadan regardless. It will be... yeah, it will be a ride XD. Good luck with it.

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  15 часов назад

      Ahhh yessss, I'm so excited! I haven't been able to start recordings yet, but it's on my list for early January to prep for it to come out this coming month! I cannot WAIT! Thank you!!

    Happy 2025. Ping Pong? Nice. it is not long so maybe Ippo, One Outs or Major will come soon. I hope so.

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  4 часа назад +1

      YES, I honestly was hoping Ping Pong would win because I've wanted to watch it for forever and it's been a "bridesmaid" on the polls, so I'm glad it won. After it's over, I will definitely include some bigger sports anime series and for sure Ippo will be on there and probably another major baseball series! Thanks for the comment!

  • @AlexTapisevic
    @AlexTapisevic 15 часов назад

    I totally agree with you with Frieren... I enjoyed alot but its a little bit overrated.
    For me Meduka Magica is in my top 10 in my anime list of the history, so yes agree.
    And March comes in like a lion, it was't in my radar... and after your comentaries I have tried to watch it but I'm still in the 2nd ep. :/ it's a bit slow 4 my taste I will give it a harder try.
    What did you cry with this year?? 🤔

    • @RomaniaBlack
      @RomaniaBlack  14 часов назад +1

      I really enjoyed Frieren, but Madoka -- agreed, it blew me out of the water!
      March takes a little time to warm up to it and it's not "flashy" and in your face, but the themes and character development are INCREDIBLE and that's all I can say!
      Ahh, I cried a *lot* with March Comes in Like a Lion -- then, also Berserk, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, Monster, and I'm sure others, too! Thanks for the comment!

      Ahhhh, I did do a yearly wrap up last year, though it was a little different: ruclips.net/video/My3VWDPTsjc/видео.html
      I should do a manga ranking at some point, though, so thank you for the suggestion and the comment! I'll add it to the list! :D

    Sorry if something is written wrong, the translator. Do you plan to read the JJK manga??, without a doubt watching the anime would be ideal, but I suppose there is still some time for that, personally as someone who read the manga, seeing people who watch the anime make their analysis is something I like. I think it would be interesting with all the information and things that the manga has.

      I'm only up to Volume 4 for this year on Patreon, but I'm hoping to get back into the volumes in 2025 and review some more as we wait! Thank you for the kind words and comment!

    I'm manifesting reactions to Orb: On the Movements of the Earth in 2025. At time of comment episode 14 of 25 is the next to air. As I understand it, it's a one season and done anime, its manga a short 8 volumes run.
