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. It’s a very comfy pacing. 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.
