Sôsô no Furîren (2023)
Best anime I have seen in years
I judge anime and stories in general, not by their ability to wow me with effects or action, but for how much they make me feel and learn about myself. And in this, Frieren shines like no other anime I've ever watched, managing to make me smile, feel wonder, nostalgia and excitement all at the same time. Its a beautiful coming of age story, which sounds weird for a thousand year elf, but that's what it is. In it, we will find life lessons which we can certainly apply to our own lives, if we look close enough.
I've watched till Episode 10, and it just keeps getting better and better, weaving backstory and exposition to make current events feel preordained yet surprising at the same time. I look forward to watching this masterpiece in its entirety, but even incomplete so far, Frieren has already taken its place in my book along with the greatest of all time.
House of the Dragon: Second of His Name (2022)
This show keeps getting better
I'm impressed with the fantastic quality of this show so far. Instead of going downhill after the pilot, the show keeps upping the ante and setting up future storylines and conflict with exceptional writing and character development.
There are no good guys vs bad guys in this show, at least in my opinion. So far everything the characters do respond to their individual motivations and personalities. No one goes off script just for the sake of plot (I'm looking at you Daenerys).
Special mention to the amazing final battle at the Sandstones at the end of this episode. It made me want to cheer!
So far, a worthy successor of the original Game of Thrones.
