Garnt you've made it in life, to get sponsored by 'The Eminence in Shadow' itself might probably be the biggest achievement ever.

Man, this one was the best one yet. The Connor-lore-accurate reactions, smooth transitions, niche references. You outdid yourself.

Frieren and Apothecary Diary is basically my peaceful adventure this season, two anime about basically daily problem while the bigger problem unfolding slowly in the background, Watching Frieren reminiscing her past adventure while having a new one combined with Mao Mao solving various sometimes weird problem and mystery as well as navigating through rigid social barrier and stay out of trouble (although pointless) is really engaging, Both of them provides balanced slow daily life stuffs and heavy plot unfolding in a way that's really engaging and intriguing. Guess I'm set all the way to New Year since both of them have 20+ episodes

9:15 Apothecary Diaries went harder than I thought. Felt like a Doctor + Sherlock anime with a great female MC + an interesting romance dynamic I also never felt as interested in politics in anime until I read the LNs

The summoning salt bit actually had me dying

The summoningsalt style segment was very well done.i enjoyed it a lot

I watched Frieren in one night, and it was beautiful. The connection between different episodes, which you only get if you remember every sentence. (For example: why she learned a spell for sour grapes)

Gotta love the Summoning Salts reference at the end. Can't wait for Matt Turk to break that record. This season really has tons and tons of shows to watch. Grateful that Garnt goes to the trouble of making these videos as it allows a show that I skimmed over to get a second chance, but it's also fun to see shows that he's made videos about before, Frieren and Shadow, getting another spotlight and seeing the man happy about them. May it distract him from whatever animal anime comes next...

For anyone curious about the 100 Girlfriends anime, the manga is currently at 27 and showing no signs of slowing down.

“IT THIS AN ISEKAI, OR IS IT JUST FANTASY.” Garnt actually hit that 😂

Glad Undead Unluck got the shout out it deserved. I can't even watch the show (legally) in Thailand because of 'Hulu', but the manga really offers one of the most creative and genre-bending stories in recent years while keeping a fun tone. I just really, really hope it will be legally accessible worldwide soon.

Glad Gigguk put Sousou no Frieren as the biggest on the thumbnail, I know a lot of people are watching it already but it deserves more views imo. Basically a mixture of Kino’s Journey with some Mushoku Tensei elements blended into it! ❤

Frieren is amazingly adapted, so much love and care is put into each scene and we get 28 episodes. Premium AOTY material.

Dude, how is gigguk so good at making videos. I literally didn't even notice the 20 minutes slip away. And that editing with the speedrun at the end HILARIOUS. Shoutout to the other editors as well, ya'll doing some great work.

My top 3 this season 1. Frieran, this should be the anime of the year 2. The Apothecary Diaries, I was surprised by how good this has been . 3. The Eminence in Shadow, well it was not as good as I expected it to be but still pretty fun.

As I knew about the premise of Frieren, when I began watching the first episode I was ready to get hit in the feels and it didn't disappoint. I downloaded the first 10 episodes the night prior to my flight back home from Tokyo and watched them all one after the other, it was amazing.

The summoning salt bit near the end legit made me geek out. The comedy in this episode is some of the best you've ever put out!

15:43 Bro even rizzed up the audience 😂😂

Love how you mentioned that frieren is also about appreciating the little things in life. One of the things that hooked me on this anime was exactly this
