For me it’s Vinland Season 2 and Frieren for storytelling. Jujutsu kaisen 2 and The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 for raw fun.

    Frieren has been a such a pleasant surprise. I read the manga with dodgy fan translations online years ago when it was first coming out, but it got memory holed. Every now and then I’d think of it but could never remember the name. I was over joyed when I realized that the new show a friend got me to watch was that lost series lodged in the back of my mind.

    This is also the first time I’m watching something where I’ve read the manga. I’ve never bothered in the past, neither before nor after a show. I’m not particularly weebish, I just got linked it by someone I was in a D&D game with and was bored enough at the time I happened to give it a go.

    Spy x Family remains such a wholesome comfort pick. Comedy in anime tends to get completely lost in translation for me but this is the extremely rare one that hits.
