Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I mostly agree but would say it petered out even earlier: only the first six or seven episodes were any good (and they were extremely good), while everything after that is borderline trash that feels like it was from an entirely different show.
OK. I gotta ask do you simply have very high standards (which is fine) or do you not watch a lot of anime ? Because Frieren is easily one of the best shows I have watched in quite a while. Like can you give me 3 recent anime you thought are better ? Mind you im no stranger to disliking popular things...like im no big fan of Cowboy Bebop for example. Not meant to sound combative, I'm just genuinely curious.
It's mostly that I have high standards, but I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't biased against the rest of Frieren specifically because the first bit is so good (if that part's a 10/10, the rest of the season is a 5 or 6). I mostly watch stuff that's well-reviewed as opposed to seasonals so I don't have anything super recent, but for "within the last few years", I'd say:
Check out the Apothecary Diaries. Dungeon Meshi and Helck are also very good, but I like the Manga way more.
I couldn't stand the feudalist bootlicking of apothecary diaries :/
They're all on the list lol, I'll get to them eventually.
Those are actually three really good shows, so at least I can confirm that you have good taste. (Because I'm the objective arbiter of good taste). Nah, it's cool, I was just curious. I certainly agree that the beginning and the rest of 'Frieren' have a different vibe.
I would have probably asked you the same if you said Cyberpunk, Chainsaw Man, or Bocchi were trash. I probably wouldn't call 5 or 6 trash, but I legit watch stuff rated 3/10 at times... doesn't happen often, but it happens.
Yeah fair enough, it's why I said it was borderline. And for what it's worth I'm operating on the compressed "video game score" scale where if it's below a 7 it's not worth talking about.
Oh and I can't believe I haven't mentioned it yet but Frieren lost a bunch of points with me for having a Goblin Slayer-tier "Racism is Good and Necessary" two-parter.
