      Welcome! The Frieren adaptation is shockingly good. I kept waiting for a quality drop as the first season went, but it just kept delivering episode after episode.

        I stopped at episode 14 for tonight. I can’t get over how good this show is! Like actually life-changing good.

            oh I didn’t get your comment at first, I just now heard that this show got robbed of the Anime of the Year award lol

            yea idk, like I said I don’t watch that much anime, but if someone told me this won TV show of the decade I’d be like yea that makes sense

              No worries, I wasn’t really referring to the Anime of the Year award, it’s just another meaningless contest.
              But sites like MyAnimeList, AniList or AniDB all have Frieren in Top 1.
              It’s especially impressive on MAL because for the longest time Full Metal Alchemist was on no. 1 spot and some toxic fans review bombed every show that dethroned their favorite anime. There have been quite a few challengers that took no. 1 spot for a few days or weeks but in the end FMA always took back no. 1 spot… It was like that until Frieren arrived and then she just stayed there, at the top, never letting anyone take her place even for a day. At least until Frieren Season 2 have aired and now it’s on no. 1 spot lol

                I feel like this show kinda is the next FMA, at least that’s what it reminded me of in terms of quality and emotions, and even the magic. But obviously slower and calmer.

                  I always thought that FMA is good but not Top 1 or even Top 10 good.
                  I had a few issues with this show, it’s always very amusing when I say what I didn’t like to a die-hard fan.
