Also, it's quite a recent release. What are your thoughts on this anime?,It reminded me of Violet Evergarden but with even better storytelling and a bit less emphasis on romance. HeiKeiRei said: no it's prolly just a fad like all recent anime that always seem to get famous for a month or so then forgotten cause they're pointless and uninteresting It's actually quite good. It's refreshing compared to other shows. There aren't really shows you can compare to it tbh, at least I can't think of any. It contains many kinds of genres and brings them together very well. The art style is beautiful, the music is great, and the characters are interesting. Also it's very funny for me as a German to hear the names of the characters. Most of them suit their personalities pretty well. I haven't thought about it being this highly rated, but I can see why. If they don't mess it up, I'll definitely rate it a 10, because each episode was a pleasure to watch |
| Thread locked for not encouraging discussion encouraging discussion about scores and rankings, which is forbidden even if it can be meaningful because (I assume) it may encourage vote brigading. Frieren became the highest rated anime because it has the right mix of the contemplativeness typical of anime like Mushishi/Kino no Tabi/etc. and the action+comedy+drama typical of battle shounen, alongside above average production value of course. Unsurprisingly, those who strongly prefer one of these two sides will definitely disagree with Frieren being n°1 (too boring for those who only like battle shounen or just a worse version of Mushishi/Kino no Tabi/etc. if you hate battle shounen) but it wouldn't be there without both. Recency bias is always a factor but I feel like Frieren can keep its position for quite some time. |

| Frieren's good lol. Tbh I'm pretty happy its numeros uno. I was getting sick and tired of FMAB at the top (I love FMAB, but it aint number one). Real ones remeber when the top 10 was basically all gintama tho, that was the good old days. |
 |
| I don't really care which anime is #1. Top lists are overrated. |
 |
| Keiichirou Saitou saved anime with Bocchi the Rock and now saved it again with Frieren, well-deserved first place, too bad the strength of generic shounen with flashy animation will prevail. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| it won't be no1 for long, fmab alchemists are already drawing an alchemic circle |
    |
| I absolutely adore it. Great writing all-around, I'm not done with it yet so I hope it keeps it up. But as someone who doesn't love fantasy or magic... it's superb. |
| I never watched fmab and I think Frieren is a good show so I don't mind it being the number 1. However, I don't mind it doesn't mean I agree. I don't think Frieren should be number 1, but it deserves to be at the top of the list. |

| The anime is actually so dead fr. It definitely doesn't deserve first place. It doesn't make sense because FMAB is a million times better than Sousou no Frieren yet it comes second in place. I know Part 2 of Bleach TYBW is in the top 10, i personally think Part 2 is probably better than SNF as well despite me not having watched Part 1 or 2. |
| I'm laughing because this is like a big middle finger to all the FMAB fans. Not saying all of them are like that but I'm laughing at those that genuinely care about being on top. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| It's decent but i wouldn't put it in my top 200 anime. |
| Souren? You mean that dude from Kara no Kyoukai? Yeah he's pretty cool |
 |
| I can't speak for the quality of the series itself. Though I will say that if anything MAL is consistent with, is that for any new series that takes over the #1 spot, the user score would usually decline after its done airing. The question is by "how much?" and "how long will it take?" The current 9.15+ score would make it an attractive target of the "1/10 because its overrated" crowd. |
| Casual anime watchers only look for good animation and they would rate it a 10. |
 |
| According to MAL it's "THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME" so forget everything else you ever watched, this is better than all of them. |
 |
| Thread locked for not encouraging discussion. (5) But sure. Plenty of anime I like that are a 9 or 10 just get review bombed, so its nice to stick it to FMAB losers I guess. Dont really care about the fucking MAL score of all things beyond this one specific thing about MAL scores lmao. |
