      The fact that they are devoting two hours to tell the first part of the story gives me a lot of confidence that they are taking the time to tell the story in a deliberate way. I have written elsewhere that this series really reminds me of Mushishi and everything I liked about that show, so I am super excited that they seem to be giving it the pacing that it needs to help the story hit.

    Definitely excited for this one and hope it holds up to the manga. The series has such a unique atmosphere with it’s contemplation of the passage of time and its effects on relationships, memories, and the progress of technology (or in this case, magic). Also has a very interesting spin on demons in fantasy.

    Actually very interested in this one! It seems to have similar energy to a couple of my all time favorite series, Kino’s Journey and Girls’ Last Tour.

      I have read the manga and the early manga definitely gives me Kino’s Journey/Mushishi vibes. Those are two of my all-time favorite anime and Frieren is probably the closest I have ever come to having that same feeling in manga form. So, I am super excited about it as well.

    I’m excited for the premiere of this one. I only got to Volume 1 of the manga. I stopped reading when I heard the anime announcement because I wanted to experience the story with soundtrack and animation.
