ARE YOU JOKING NO WAYYYYY I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE THE NEW ANIME I’M HOLDING BACK TEARS THIS IS GONNA BE RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEYYYYY

[@yob757]

holding back? babes mine are FLOWING

[@savvybrunos]

Shark said HAPPY PRIDE 🌈🥲

[@Nimbus_The_Slut]

More like Shark said Sad Pride

[@hannahbaker7754]

I was not ready to re live this trauma, but for you I will shark.

[@zeus4evah]

right 😭

[@krrr879]

Me too 🫠🥹

[@e.millie]

“Skip is amazing! Love the kid.” 😭

[@akasa8jp]

I'm so happy that you found this masterpiece and responded to it. The original of this anime is a very old manga that was serialized from 1985 to 1994 in Japan. I'm Japanese, but I didn't know this story until I watched the anime. After watching the anime, I was so moved that I bought all the manga. It's a sensitive, sad and beautiful story of boys. Enjoy!

[@nope3290]

the casual drop of one of the best anime’s ever is CRAZY. Especially because you said you don’t know what it is😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@chwrleseyler]

I WASNT EXPECTING THIS WHATTTT AKJAGAJG LETS GOOO??? (also on pride month?? this is pure evil😭😭) good luck on this journey guys lol

[@SailorDee]

Your current rotation of shows are all bangers, probably the best we've seen! So happy you're watching this.

[@Hana_H]

The way Shark said “Edgy” when he heard Eiji’s name🤣🤣

[@moonshapedpool]

banana fish on pride month is kinda funny. loved it the first time i watched it so it’ll be nice to rewatch with you

[@nyxstarish]

My first reaction seeing this "i cant do this again"

[@zeus4evah]

about to get traumatized all over again

[@sanchigaikwad3845]

OMFG YESSS BANANA FISH REACTION IN 2024??!! HECK YEAH!! Banana Fish is a masterpiece its literally so amazing I can't wait to see more of your reaction

[@FeyPhantom]

So hyped for this! The original manga started coming out in 1985. They obviously updated it for the anime release (for example, the Vietnam War became the war in Iraq), but something about it always gives me that nostalgic feeling of days long passed even with the updates.

[@kolorfriend]

Oh by the way, this isn’t a spoiler or anything, I’m just clarifying because it’s a little confusing - the guy with curly red hair with glasses working for Dino and the curly red haired policeman are two different unrelated people

[@nikubiti8599]

WHAT IS HAPPENING?? Lately I just can't believe my eyes, I'm so happy!! Great show, can't wait for more, yesss let's goooo

[@gintokisstrawberrymilk]

happy pride yall 💀

[@veatries]

Aint no way! Its my favourite anime of all times. Its been like 6 years since i saw it and i still can't move on Damn

[@unknwn5386]

This is the earliest I've been to a shark video!! Banana fish is an amazing adventure!

[@savvybrunos]

HOLY SHIT I JUMPED SHARK YOU ARE NOT READY

[@T7Karou]

A curious thing to note is that the titles of the episodes are names of books that are related to the episode's plot or the series in it's entirety - for explame, "A perfect day for bananfish" is a story about a soldier after WW2 and how he can't go back to his innocent life despite the war ending, he has changed (you can link this to Ash). I recommend looking up analysis of it after the show is over

[@deusa_maah]

I can't believe Shark will make me rewatch Trauma™ Fish, but here we are, let's do it and happy pride

[@kiiuunn]

Omgg you reacting to it makes me so happy even tho it takes so much emotional strength to go through this again. The scene where the police officer said "later, movie star" actually makes me tear up everytime. The first time i watched it i literally stopped the episode for a whole week before i contiuned it. It really messed me up HAD ME CRYINF

[@bugdomrulez]

literally, like that scene makes me physically sick, fucking scumbag cop

[@PROTVGONIST]

Never encountered your channel before, but I read the title and IMMEDIATELY hit subscribe because I’m thrilled to see a new reactor encountering this series. You’re in for a ride. One of my favorite shows - though I also respect whatever opinion you may develop. Let’s go. 🎉

[@LoreCatan]

NO WAYYYYY, NEVER IN MY DREAMS DID I THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN!! I'm so happy lmao, what a pleasant surprise. I did such a double take when I read the title, I couldn't believe my eyes xD

[@lindseyl8120]

Even I didn't catch this the first time, but Ash's full name is in the folder that the prison guard shows. Funny how his middle name is Jade, like the color of his eyes.

[@damvstudio3406]

Ok,,, nothing but the title "Banana Fish" gave me the reason to subscribe

[@MigliLovania]

I HAVE NEVER CLICKED ANYTHING FASTER

[@chwrleseyler]

SAME

[@blacksiren18135]

I was NOT expecting this holy shit. I'm so excited!! It's been a while since I watched the first few episodes and damn they really do throw a lot of characters at you the first episode haha. Excited to see your reactions to the rest of the series!

[@syd4real961]

I STILL haven't rewatched this show since it first aired in 2018. Guess I'll have my first rewatch now. EIJINATORS RISE UP!!!

[@zeus4evah]

proud eijinator here

[@skinapsy]

OMGG I CANT BELIEVE YOURE REACTING TO BANANA FISH!!! It's so good bro, definitely one of my favorite series!

[@alyssabullock6421]

OH MY GOSH, LETS GOOOOO It's so perfectly ironic that you chose this one during Pride Month 💙

[@serralinda73]

Awesome! You're going to find plenty to talk about with this one. Fun fact: BF was written from 1985 -1994 (and it was published as SHOUJO, ha, not shounen or BL) and they kept the aesthetic of the manga while updating the story a bit to modern times (Max and Ash's brother were originally Vietnam war veterans). So the fashion is often very 80s - Shorter's purple mohawk is so fun. It's incredibly dark and violent at times. The mangaka was inspired somewhat by the movie Midnight Cowboy.

[@lis4__meo]

This is my favorite anime😭 it will be painful to watch it again, but I'm glad to watch it again with you🙏

[@RikkiLove0317]

OH MY GOD BANANA FISH THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@RikkiLove0317]

I’M SO EXCITED I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS

[@savvybrunos]

I HAVE WANTED THIS FOR SO LONG

[@NoirDandelion]

Oh my gosh yEs!! It's quite literally been years since I thought to request Banana Fish, graduated High School and everything. What an awesome surprise!

[@FloatingRumHam]

Banana fish and Gintama are the best hurt/comfort you could ask for

[@Nobody--_--]

OMG I was not expecting this!!! LETS GOOO I love banana fish so much, its one of my favourites

[@florenciahoracio8517]

I'M SO EXCITED PLEASEEE CONTINUE THIS ANIME NO ONE VALUES IT ENOUGH 😭😭

[@Diskuli]

OHH BOY this is a wild one! I really wanted to watch this, tried some years back, but it just gave me such strong anxiety that I stopped after a few episodes. Time to give it another shot, and sharing the burden will surely help! I'm mentally preparing for this show to kick my teeth in, yahoo!

[@zeus4evah]

that banana fish anxiety is so real

[@foxseen121]

Oh this is going to be a ride

[@whowantmuffin]

i just watched your Full moon reaction. and i thought wow i missed your helluva reactions and now you're here with banana fish. i am seated.

[@vulgarjas4261]

Dude I haven’t watched your channel in a hot minute but I remember looking for your reaction to this a couple years ago, hoping you had done it. INSANE, excited to see this now!

[@lilymoore-sx8pk]

did not realize he reacted to this, but I am so so sorry that you put yourself through this for your viewers. Respect, man. (Also read the manga to!!!! It’s better!) Also the “you’re a pretty boy” when ash showed up was strangled my hillarious to me

[@Lynn-zt2ri]

BANANA FISH? i'm sooooo hype i've been hoping for this. one of my favorites.

[@artthounasty5877]

I only now saw that this dropped, but I'm soooo excited! Ngl, I kinda love that you had no fucking idea what you were getting into :D

[@smilebeautiful9940]

HOLY SHIT WHAT. SHARK. YOU MAD LAD. i'M SHAKING IN MY SEAT.

[@cedarlleaf1012]

[@Lara-zb4ok]

[@identitycrisisiv160]

[@deeminie2656]

OHMYGOD AAAA I NEVER COMMENT BUT AAAAA SHARK!!! so glad you’re watching this I watched it weekly as it came out and I was just in suspense at the end of each ep 🙏 you’re in for a ride. Just some forewarning there are a lot of heavy themes in this show so just be aware ;;;

[@2born2b]

That was so UNexpected!!! I'm really excited to watch you react to this!

[@shiroq6714]

WHAT I LITERALLY CHOCKED WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION

[@buenoloco4455]

This is from manga 1985-1994 and the anime as we see is made 2018. This one time anime serie is one of the definitely good pick to watch

[@booklover4330]

Banana Fish? I never thought you'd react to this one! Great series.

[@thepinkkakyoin3598]

Banana Fish and Gintama in the same rotation I truly feel blessed🥹🥹

SAME and 2 of the series to make me cry the most but shhh

[@BiaTheo]

Be ready for the whiplash of emotions!!! This one effed me up for MONTHS, worse than Elfen Lied 😭

[@artthounasty5877]

The anime is an adaptation of a manga with the same name, published in 1985 :)

[@mysticdigital5936]

This series starting during Pride Month is perfect. 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈Honestly I remember watching it as it came out and it is a wild ride start to finish. The characters definitely have a glow-up from their more 80s looks in the manga. Super excited for this one alongside the DR3 reactions

[@acheofstar]

OH MY GOD THIS KS THE BEST THING YOU COULDVE EVER DONE

[@skylander8843]

Who's ready to relive trauma

[@nope3290]

Don't forget also that Ash is 17, he's still a minor and still being sexually victimized and targeted, despite him being a little bigger now then in the videos.

[@N02cik]

Oh my god.
