Caught up on Dangers in my Heart, Frieren, and Solo Leveling.

Honestly… I’m kinda not feeling this season as much. They’re all good, but not super great. Dangers, in particular, I found much more impactful last season. Not sure if it’s production quality, or just where the story is at. Or me…?

Even Frieren hasn’t been hitting the same highs. I didn’t realize the current arc was going to be so drawn out. It still kinda feels like absolutely nothing is happening, but then something really cool happens. I dunno. Maybe winter is getting to me.

Of the three, I think I’m enjoying Solo Leveling the most, so maybe I’m just looking for some dramatic action or something.

I get it with Frieren. This season/arc has a different feel than the first. It also has less group chemistry among the main party members so far as Frieren, Fern, and Stark have all been doing separate things. The most recent episode saw them coming together again, but the exam arc just doesn't have the same "friends on an adventure" feel that the first cour did.

[–] SnowGator@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Yea. I kinda get why they’re doing this exam, but also kinda don’t see why Frieren isn’t just “f that” and go anyway. Feels like they’re not making progress towards their goal, which feels meh.

And any episode that heavily features Fern pouting as a plot point (which has been a surprisingly commonly used point) I find a little tedious. Just an IRL thing I find very frustrating too. Modeling poor communication in anime and movies is a pet peeve.

Still enjoying Frieren a bunch though. Just not 10/10 definitive AOTY for this cour.

Dangers in My Heart continues to top the chart, continuing its uncontested run for the whole season. Kind of surprising to see Ragna Crimson make such a large jump. I kind of forgot it was still airing. Meanwhile Solo Leveling has not leveled off in the chart and is instead slipping down this week. Really sad to see Bravern so far down the chart at 45th. It has quickly become one of my favorites this season.
