LM Reactions are my favorites, i always liked the fact they're not "lazy" in understanding characters or plots, some reactors just hate some characters they're used to be hated, Breaking Bad is good at this and i've found reactors hating Jessie & Skylar and they sometimes could even explain why, but thats not what happens with them, they make good analysis and even though i don't agree with them all the time, they make a lot effort to understand what they're watching and i love that. My favorite series from them: Avatar The Last Airbend ; AoT ; BB and BCS. And right now, i'm loving the The Wire reactions

[@djm_05]

Lola & Milena have deepened my love for TV in ways thats hard to described. We do not deserve them 🥹

[@vadernoe2126]

Love them, they are so funny, insightful, get real involve with the shows and have pretty lengthy discussion after the episodes. Top 3 best reactors

[@PassionfruitCreators]

Love how passionate they are as well.

[@edwinroussin]

what is your top 3 ?

[@JewJitSuSixty9]

​@@edwinroussin yaboyroshi, LM, and react pack Those are my personal favorites

[@the115master5]

Whenever LM is doing a show, I know I have to go watch it myself JUST to see their reactions, I get so much out of their videos, so happy to see them in an interview format.

[@amberaizen]

I watched mr robot bc of them😂

[@jhzwwe123]

My 🐐 🐐 's the kindest, most understanding, smartest, most observent reactors I know! MR. ROBOT, AOT, GOT, BB, BCS, MONEY HEIST, and more, they have watched all my favorite shows and they literally not only don't miss details, they make me realize new things upon multiple rewatches, for shows they just started. Love yall from Cali

[@PassionfruitCreators]

They're awesome. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TeaDrinker3000]

Started watching the girls in May of 2021 and don't plan to ever stop. I've been watching at least one show concurrently with them since then, 12 series start to finish at the time of writing so far. I'm a film studies postgrad and an amateur filmmaker, and there genuinely has not been a greater resource to my understanding and appreciation of screenwriting than this channel, particularly with regards to character development. Even just within the last year alone working for various film festivals throughout the country via various pre-selection panels, I know that my ability to follow, understand, and predict character arcs, genre tropes, story beats etc. would not nearly be as strong were I not to have discovered the girls. These girls could easily be working at a professional level as script consultants for their instinctual knowledge of characterisation and story arcs, but instead we're lucky enough to have them react to our favourite tv shows that we ourselves are allowed to request. The actual reactions themselves are also a total trip in that I've never seen two people get so easily and enourmously emotionally invested in on-screen characters, settings and events than these two. Both their hearts and minds were just 'built' for this particular format, being able to vicariously 'watch something for the first time all over again' to some of the greatest television ever made has been invaluable. I well and truly cannot adequately articulate just how important this channel is to me both artistically and personally. I'm so delighted to see the channel grow continuously over the years. Storytelling is one of the paramount elements of my life so to have been able to experience it both with the girls and the channel's community has changed my life for the better, sincerely.

[@PassionfruitCreators]

wow. finding other creatives who share your passions and inspire you is so important. thank you for sharing!

[@Yic17Gaming]

Love LM. Signed up to their Patreon during the AOT days and haven't stopped being a patron since. My favorite reactors for sure.

[@Kunztmann]

What a great idea to interview the YT celebreties, keep it up with the good work, Milena and Lola are probably my top 3 reactors

[@VillainessAO]

My favourite reactors ever ❤️ These girls are so authentic and genuine and their indepth reviews are my daily podcasts 😂

[@PassionfruitCreators]

right???

[@farbod21]

My favorite girls. Their reactions are fantastic. I have been following their channel and Patreon for awhile and I have yet to see anyone as smart, empathetic, curious and a joy to watch as them.

[@unholytako]

One of the best if not the best channels for not just reactions but the discussions as well

[@jatoarkanen4435]

When the discussion turns out longer than the reaction itself, you know they are serious about what they do. There are not many channels like them, wehre people really delve into things and analyze everything. Also, Lola and Milena's predictions are uncanny and deserve to be classified as magic

[@offonstudios]

Very underrated, love their empathy for all the characters they watch 🙌🏽

[@neshrosuryoyo]

I watch many reaction channels. These two ladies are one of the best. The first episode is saw was about GOT season 6. Subscribed since then. I love how they improved and developed. Thanks for the interview.

[@NerdChronic]

Drop some of your other favorite channels!

[@vincentw3566]

I didnt know this video existed, i love their channel

[@edc6172]

Lm reactions are my favourite, because they react to literally all my favourite shows and react PERFECTLY

[@merlinsclaw]

Yes! I love these two! They always have real conversations. They don't just reacting to what they're watching, but they offer theories, ideas, and analyses of character arcs and storylines. Just the best! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@patrickholt2270]

I have all the time for them. I hugely respect their insights about plots and characters, they pick up things I missed, they catch everything, and their predictions are scarily accurate, except with AoT, of course, because so much is hidden until the third season. And they don't at all hide their emotional reactions. I feel like a lot of reactors have a hard time with that, or maybe they're just emotionally blocked in some way. Like if you grew up in a tough neighbourhood or a school with a lot of bullying, you are forced to learn to hide your emotions because someone will point and laugh or use it against you, and it can take forever to break out of that to be able to share with people. The whole "boys don't cry" damage that certainly happened to my generation, and still if grown men talk about crying, adolescent boys will sneer because they are still in that screwed up state.

[@bangart]

My favorite reactors because they really empathize with characters and focus on them over plot. I also love their outros! I can listen to them talk about the episode for hours.

[@MAW-20]

Some of the best reactors :D

[@EduardAkano]

An Interview with my favorite reactors? Let's goooooooo!!!

[@rashadjackson1704]

LM Reactions is honestly one of my favorite channels to watch, been watching these two since The 100 era., and I'm still watching.

[@kalina1871]

love them! I found them thanks to hunter x hunter and since then, I subscribed to their patreon and I follow them on every social media they have, they’ve became my favorite reactors! they’re just so passionate, honest and I just love them 🫶🏻

These two are my absolute favorites. Not just cuz their super duper pretty but they have actual thoughts and theories. I love their discussions. The Wire is one of my top 5 shows of all time and I love their reactions to it. They really get it. I still go back and rewatch their AOT videos! Lol

[@zebra234123]

Great channel!

[@ryankm4056]

they’re the only reactors I watch.

[@beansthebeans]

i'm suprised that people don't think they'd enjoy demon slayer with how much they love shows centered around dynamics between siblings, and thats like, demon slayers whole thing except there's vampires

[@jatoarkanen4435]

IMO, Demon Slayer's plot is too straighforward and lacks depth, Lola and Milena would be bored by it. Disclaimer: I do not try to insult the show, I just say that it has a much simpler structure and characters

[@dididyo2253]

I also think they would love it

[@ME14-00]

when reaction channels have deep or long discussions and deep understanding of an anime sometimes snobby anime fans come out and basically restrict mainstream shows or shows that are not “masterpieces worthy of a deep discussion”. They don’t even know if the reactors will enjoy it or not.

[@Frionelz]

i just wish they watch less mainstream stuff. Its always about polls and popular opinion think (if there is a show that never made it because of that, its Steins Gate. I just they would be absoluuuute fans of it.)

[@Frionelz]

@@jatoarkanen4435 that being said, while DS is simple, it succeed in making you (more or less) about characters and invest in the events. (JJK, which i'm afraid will be the next one because of POLLS, is more "original" but a lot more shallow in terms of characters. Everything is made to look cool for the sake of looking cool. And you don't care or investe in the characters and events).

[@GarotoArcano]

The girls who get me more excited to watch then the show itself

[@Maceta444]

By far the best reactors on the platform. None come close.

Curious, they have seen many live action shows, and few animes, and among their favorite shows are attack on titan, Vinland saga and full metal alchemist.

It was a wasted opportunity to ask them about the fact that they never asked people to support them unlike other channels , they don't ask for likes or subscribe I'm not against channels who ask for support It's just interesting to know their own reasons They have been in this business since 2017 , so I think they are totally aware how the business is running

[@sawyer33]

I agree with Milena. No Lord of the Rings please. These two bring a level of intelligence to their reactions that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Their Breaking Bad reactions are grail.

[@enicot]

I'll watch LOTR with Milena anytime. I'll watch paint dry with Milena, though I'll likely not be watching the paint but rather those pretty black eyes. Edit: They're BOTH studying software engineering??? 😁
