The Anime Marble Race refers to the ongoing event where viewers can try to make Joe watch an anime of their choice. This event started on the 19th of April 2022, shortly after Joe returned from a streaming hiatus. He had been considering getting his viewers to make him watch an anime for years before he actually went through with this idea.

Two Twitch channel point goals were created: "Start the race" for five hundred million [[Monocoins]], and "Buy a marble for the race" for one million Monocoins. "Start the race" was a collective channel point goal, meaning that all viewers could contribute Monocoins towards the goal. "Buy a marble for the race" wasn't, meaning that one viewer would have to save up one million Monocoins to be able to activate it, by winning enough channel point bets. If a viewer activated "Buy a marble for the race", they would be able to specify the name of an anime, and then one marble named after that anime would be added to the race. If a different viewer had already bought a marble for the same anime, then the price would be two million. If two users had already bought marbles for it then it would be four million, and so on. If "Start the race" was activated, then Joe would stream the game Marbles on Stream (taking inspiration from [[The Voting Game]]), which is a game that lets you simulate marble runs where you can name each marble and see which one makes it to the end first, as a way of randomly choosing between things. He would then start a race containing marbles named after the anime that viewers had specified when they activated "Buy a marble for the race". Then for whichever anime's marble won the race, Joe would watch it on stream.<ref>~~https://youtu.be/~~JYLm4FZUI40?t=6549</ref>

As a reward for completing the quiz, he "gifted himself 10 million Monocoins", meaning that 10 million Monocoins were to be added to the race total. Before this change was made, there was an outstanding 40 million Monocoins worth of purchased anime marbles which still needed to be deducted from the total. After this change, this amount was effectively lowered to 30 million Monocoins. However the current "Start the race" total of 200 million Monocoins still has not been changed.<ref>~~https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2431272587~~</ref>

This impressed him so much that he gave them a marble. Then Franz_ferdinand_ said that they wanted a "Trolley-chan marble", and gave no explaination as to what this meant, so Joe had to come up with the rules for it himself.
