Frieren sat on my "to watch" list far longer than it should have. It felt like a very comfortably piece of adventurer fiction, much more... episodic... than many other shows, that ultimately culminate in some big battle or some other climax. Wasn't just another cookie cutter isekai.

I'm still reeling from the effects this show had on me, and I just hope they're able to follow it up. The manga seems to be coming along nicely. So long as they don't have sudden change-ups with the director or animation studio, or decide to have a "filler" season, everything should continue nicely. I'd love this to get a movie treatment, also.

Provided they do it "right", yeah. Enjoyed your other episodes of this as well. Nicely done. Part 3 even made my a little teary.

I got a little bleary-eyed writing about that episode myself. I love stories that can evoke so much emotion.

Thanks for this Nick. I'll admit I'm still finding my manga sea legs.

Landlubber! I admit manga is a vast and choppy sea, and there do be some islands ye don't wanna visit.
