Frieren: Beyond Journey's End kicks fucking ass so far (hexbear.net)

I am enjoying this so fucking much. Almost as much as I enjoyed Houseki no Kuni, which I still think is probably one of the best damn shows since the 90s.

Manga readers might tell me I'm wrong about this as I don't really know where this show is going to go. But at the moment I'm sort of seeing it as a take on the neurodiverse, there's a fascinating thing about how Frieren just processes everything differently to other people, not in a bad way, she's just different, and understanding that difference is something to be positive about rather than negative.

I dunno I don't really have many thoughts beyond that at the moment and also don't really want to spoil the show for others. But I can't get over how willing the show is to just be.... Slow. To just chill and dwell in a moment, to let the audience have some silence or to soak up a mood. There's a vibe to it that just works.

Good show, watch it.

I really enjoyed reading it a while back, glad to see the adaptation is good.
