I’ve finally gotten around to watching Frieren. Overall, really enjoying it, though it isn’t exactly what I expected from the first episode.
I went in blind as the comments I saw were so positive. The first episode seemed very serious, and I expected more of a Violet Evergarden story. I’m now on Ep 23, and I’d describe it as a mix of Violet Evergarden and Helck, which I’m feeling good about, as I liked both of those, but VE was too sad and Helck was too silly, so Frieren has been hitting the sweet spot.
Also been watching Suicide Squad Isekai. Not exactly a fan, but I thought the movies were fine, so I’m giving this a shot. I feel it’s about the same quality.
Slowly catching up on Reincarnated as a Slime as well. I’m caught up on the manga, so not really I’m a hurry on this one. I’m a but less interested in it than I initially was, but the characters are still all likeable, so I stick with it.
