Between this show and Frieren, fantasy is having a bit of a moment right now. Too often, this kind of fantasy setting is just executed poorly or lazily, serving as mere window dressing on another generic power fantasy. When executed well though, it can offer a complex and fulfilling world in which to tell a compelling story. I have been really happy to see how well received these series have been and hope it inspires more, actually good fantasy going forward. It seems kind of silly now, but leading up to Frieren coming out, I was nervous that it was going to be passed over by many because of how slow the story can be at times, especially because it was set to air in the same season as JJK.
