Anxiety is starting to take hold of me.

If brain-in-a-jar theory is correct, I’m currently being absolutely DRENCHED in some sort of anxiety inducing chemical; my hands are clammy, sweaty, my knees are weak, and I can smell my mom cooking some spaghetti so I’m pretty sure we all know what’s about to happen…

I was waiting for Sousou no Frieren to finish airing to gauge people’s reactions to the ending before I decide whether or not to watch it, but I caved.

Everyone and their momma is talking about this show, FOMO got me

But now what I feared most is coming true, and I can’t help but tremble at the prospect of Frieren ending on a cliffhanger. There’s 4 episodes left in this season. If Madhouse hits me over the head with a cliffhanger and I have to wait a year for season 2 they might as well cast Zoltraak directly into my heart.

Has anyone read the manga? Am I going to suffer terribly for my rash decision?

Also, this show is really good right?! Love it very much so far, no wonder it’s topping MAL, I wonder if we really do have an all-timer on our hands.

    Watched the first few episodes but quitted because it was too boring. It’s subjective though, many people like it.

      It’s still story building at that point. It is pretty slow still for my taste though.

      A fast pace one I like is Solo Leveling. It’s a pretty cool concept that’s a lot like SAO. They’re on season 1 ep 7

        Ah I read a lot of Solo Leveling. Thought it was ok, lots of fun moments and great art! Maybe I’ll check out the anime then~

      Similar - my wife and I enjoyed the stories for each episode, but the pacing was a little on the slow side for us. Admittedly, we only got 4-5 episodes in, but that’s typically a little further than I watch if I’m not already hooked…
