Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

Am I missing something or why are the discussion threads for this show always an episode ahead? E17 isn’t supposed to be out till Sep. 19th.

Are they beeing leaked somewhere?

A little early for that.

I remember watching the odd episode of that show when I was a kid. I just recently downloaded 161 episodes of the original show, but it wasn’t really on my watchlist. Now I hear about a remake. Funny. That’s like the frequency illusion or something.

I watched the entire 3 seasons (and the explosion spinoff) mostly because of this comment chain. Perverts!

Just gigs? You need some upgrades.

Thanks for the Mushishi suggestions!

So I’m almost through Season 1 now and this is a really strange one. It wasn’t really what I was looking for but it’s so strangly calming and while very episodical it still feels like you want to see what comes next.

It’s definitly not as gripping so I didn’t really binge it, just watching a couple of episodes here and there. But now that I’m finishing the first season I have to say I quite enjoyed it overall. Even if it was for different reasons then I looked for.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It’s really just a minor point, It took me a couple of rewatches to even get the video game references, because the character stories just draw you in. I’m well aware of all the aspects that makes Frieren a brilliant show.

The video game aspect was just something I noticed that apprently no one else talks about. But I failed to understand how deeply rooted the TTRPG aspects are to the genre as a whole. It was just new to me.

The only show I watched before that felt like a video game was “The Mandalorian” and that really turned to shit in S03 …

Yeah. I realise now that had a very backwards reasoning. I even know the basicas about TTRPGs. Just didn’t connect the dots.

I can totally see how all the points I made pre-date video games. Guess I got overexicted about something that is general knowledge.

Like I was so happy when I reliseed all the names/places in Frieren were German words. But everyone knows that already :(

Initially the early 20th century setting but with the advanced robot hands but also with the automemory dolls because most people can’t write, took some getting used to.

I think the worldbuilding was a bit meh, they explained very little of what was actually going on.

But the character development and general story telling where really good and I basically binged the last half. I cried quite a bit. Very much enjoyed it, thanks for the great recommendation.

Thank you!

The strictest definition says Anime must be a Japanese production. Avatar was created in America.

That sounds about right from what I heard, Personally I don’t really care. Not even about anime or live action or cartoon. I just like good story telling, character development and that kind of stuff.

Does Avatar the last airbender count?

I don’t think it does. I’ve read and forgot about why it’s not an anime. But that one I watched more than 27 times. It’s the best show there is, across all categories.

I hear you. But at this point I’m swimming in recommendations and have to start a triage process. But it really helps that sombody I already know actually requested this show and then it was confirmed here as well. It’s up there now!

Thanks, your other suggestions so far have also been really good (and been confimred multiple times). I’m keeping track!

Good to know, I already have this one downloaded for someone else, but never watched it myself.

Great description, I’ll look into it.

Sounds great, I’m going to check it out!

Yeah, a few people have mentioned it. I guess Violet Evergarden goes to the top if the list. Thanks!
