This season seems to be absolutely loaded with peak!
Frieren, Love Through A Prism, Journal with Witch… Frankly, the latter two are already some of the best anime I’ve ever watched – Journal with Witch isn’t even halfway done, either. I haven’t actually started on Frieren S2 yet but, judging from audience reaction (and having absolutely loved S1), I have no doubts it’s peak.
I assume this is just me actually looking for anime again, but I’m feeling like 10 years ago. Back then, it felt like whatever was coming out was just the best! It’s a nostalgic feeling, and it’s amazing.
What other recent anime have you watched that you think is peak? Do you agree that the ones I mentioned are incredible? Are there other anime this season that you think deserve more of a spotlight?
At the end of season 1 I felt the gimmick has been spread too thin and ran its course. Very funny in the first few episodes but grew stale fast. When I gave S02E01 a go I immediately got the same sense. Do they switch it up a bit in later episodes by adding a new gimmick/joke setup/etc. ?
See my other comment, I felt the same about S01, it felt repetitive. S02 definitely remedies that (so far). The main theme is still there, but the jokes are really good. I haven’t laughed that much in a while.
