    Recently, Frieren. I see it everywhere because it’s obviously popular but was never really interested enough to watch it. My wife started watching it and I just happened to watch along. Turns out it’s actually as good as people say it is. I’m currently halfway through the first season.

      Me too, but with basically every popular / top-rated anime. That’s how I ended up with lot’s of catching up to do 😭

      Nowadays, my go-to method for finding new anime to watch is to go down the list of top-rated anime instead of asking for recommendations.

        I tried watching both demon slayer and solo leveling due to their popularity but bounced off after 1 season.

      Same, Frieren had such a great atmosphere, and i especially enjoyed the classical score. I had not bought a soundtrack in a long time, but here I treated myself to the special edition CDs, and I don’t regret it!

      Shortly after I gave The Apothecary Diaries a go, it had an equally high rating, but here it was the other way round. I don’t understand why people like it so much, it felt so generic. The only character I liked was the main character, but that’s about it.

        Lol I felt the same with Apothecary Diaries. Watched it along with my wife and I lost interest after a couple of episodes. I think she eventually didn’t finish it too. I also didn’t like the male main character. Bit of a spoiler but he comes off like a creep because of what he was hiding.
