Having read the manga, I think this is one of the best examples of the anime adaptation enhancing the original work. I really enjoy the story pacing so far, the anime doesn’t hesitate to slow down on some story bits to let us soak in the world and character’s emotions. Then on top of that, the beautiful animation and OST just takes this to another level. I can’t commend the OST enough, it is SO good.

Another fantasy series I was excited for this season was S-rank daughter. I enjoyed the LN story, but the Frieren anime adaptation just blows it out of the water in terms of animation quality and makes it look like an amateur production.
