It's that time of week again in that it is a new week, which means a new general thread. This is the penultimate thread of 2023 and I am very, very sick. So, I am looking forward to all your anime opinions from the past year! Some example discussion prompts might be:

The best anime I watched this year is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I rewatch it every year so that I can always say that. Checkmate!
So what if Frieren had a dance scene? Beauty and the Beast did it first - 32 years ago! Frieren is so overrated.
I don't understand how I got sick since I always carry an umbrella with me to avoid getting even a little bit damp from rain. Has anime lied to me about what causes illness?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

As I mentioned up top, I am not doing so hot this past week. It's nothing serious, so I don't need to start making mod succession plans or anything, but it is going to take some time to clear up. So, I have fallen behind on most of the shows I was watching this season because I am old and subtitles are hard when I feel like this. There were only three shows I watched this past week:

Eminence in Shadow - really enjoyed this past week's episode. It was heavily changed from the source, but it all makes sense for the most part and I don't have too many complaints. The fact that Cid was playing the boss music at the end of the episode on the pipe organ was an incredible touch.
Frieren - another great episode. I keep expecting the quality to drop in this show at some point because there is no way it can keep the quality so high for so long, but each week I am pleasantly surprised.
Kenshin (2023) - I am not current on this show, but managed to work through a couple episodes in my backlog. I wrote down some of my thoughts on it over here already, so I will again plug the live action adaptations as incredible and worth checking out.
