You shouldn't set your expectations based on Ratings, cuz most people who are the reason it has 9.37 rating didn't watch it based on ratings.

Why not watch Frieren until the end and then make your judgment? It's a great show.

I wouldn't worry about ratings. If you end up liking it that's great. If you end up not liking it that's fine too. I watched both I never felt compel to think "Wow that was great"!

and that's your opinion, ty for sharing.
Objectively, wether you like it or not, it's one of the better anime out there. Otherwise it wouldn't have such a high rating.

Why not watch the show and decide for yourself before asking such senseless questions?

The term 'legendary' can mean different things to different people. In my opinion, Frieren represents the pinnacle of anime, which easily explains its top ranking. There are numerous YouTube videos that break down its brilliance. If those don't sway you, perhaps it's just not your cup of tea.

It is by some means, such as animation, music and direction, hence the high rating.

i think Frieren is a good anime i am a long time fan of the series, and read the manga for years. before the adaptation. but I don't agree with the rating nor that it should be rated higher then fmab. also that you didn't watched them both yet already have such opinions on them really is wild to me.

I have watched both Full metal Alchemist and Frieren and Frieren is in no way better than FMAB, with that said Frieren is not bad either. Frieren is really a masterpiece tbh, you should surely give it a watch.

FMAB is my favorite anime of all time but Freiren is also really good. I binged it!

It comes down to preferences. Both are different genres so it’s hard to compare which one is better. I personally like FMAB more cause the story is completed and we see a full character development from beginning to end — but that’s just my preference :) I’m hoping for second season of Freiren, it definitely deserves the high rating.

Both are great animes so watch, I highly recommend them!

FMAB, I have not seen it, but I seriously doubt it is bettter than Frieren
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Rating will go down but problem is no one watching Frieren and it's already forgotten series.

If more people would watch it rating would go lower faster.
