I'm 121 Issues into the Frieren Manga (equivalent of ~60 anime episodes) and I can tell that it hasn't fallen off yet, in fact its two most recent arcs were by far its best.
As long as the mangaka knows when to end the series we will be fine. Its at the Empire arc right now and thats only 2 countries away from the end of the journey.
That reminds me of the seasons where Shadows House was airing. Ani-youtubers were watching some absolute forgetable if not garbage Isekai while ignoring the gem that was the Shadows House anime. Apothicary Diary was luckier as this time some RUclipsrs at least mentionned it.
@@Kinben69 Both are different. Once is a more soulful look at time's passage and the other is a neat mystery in an interesting setting. We're blessed to have both at the same time.
I think you're right about Goblin Slayer in the sense it could use a bit more gore again, but I don't think the more lighthearted route season 2 took is bad per se. It's always been more down to earth, none of the characters are really overpowered and they could all just die. I like the growth Goblin Slayer is experiencing, I think it's still at least A tier. Also Kusuriya no Hitorigoto(Apothecary DIaries) is S-tier and you should still watch it
Echidnut, I am an old man; married, have a toddler, have a 50 hr/week job. Your tier list helps me focus my precious, rare free time into one or two new series worth watching. Thank you. You're doing Echidna's work.
I can’t believe you missed Ancient Magus’s Bride. Solid S tier. Kept the same vibe as first season. Great character depth. Not a fan service. Beautifully written and clean.
I personally would put Apothecary Diaries in S, watched for the first op being amazing and binged 12 episodes. Might pick up the light novel, enjoyed it that much.
Light novel is good, manga is phenomenal. The anime was so so, didn't get how they could mess up the character designs when they had the manga to draw from and clearly had a sizeable animation budget.
This and frieren were the 2 shows i watched this season it's def a S tier I must say watching a frieren episode right after a session of reading muv luv alternative feels like heaven. You can physically see my heart getting patched up after it got CHOMPed by the BETA

Thank you bro! Bleach is straight fire, idk if I will ever have time to catch up with One Piece though. I would like to one day. I keep seeings ads for it and the new animation looks amazing

The ad you just placed in the video is actually so underrated and genius. The apothecary diaries is God tier and legitimately as good as Frieren. It talks mainly about the life of prostitutes, concubines, and is kind of like Dr house but anime.
Same. I absolutely LOVE Kusuriya. The moment I finished chapter 1 of the manga I wanted an anime of it. It's my favourite anime of 2023 along with Frieren.
Slight correction on Shy: When she goes to visit the orphanage with Spirit the owner compliments her russian saying it is very well spoken and she mentions the heart bracelet translates for her and allows her to speak other languages.
Frieren is definitely god tier, the last few arcs feel like they're becoming even better than the beginning somehow. literally god tier characters too, Himmel, Eisen, and Heiter feel like the sort of characters that will never be forgotten. For characters with so little "real" screentime, it's absolutely insane.
Do you know the feeling when you finished a really good anime and just lay in bed staring at the ceiling not wanting to do anything? Yea, Frieren never failed to make me feel that after every single episode. Its on par with Mushoku Tensei being my favorite series ever. Also, I've never shipped two characters harder than Fern and Stark. Its like Sein said: Get together already!
You’re so full of shit. You mean to tell me that every episode of “waow, waifu has muh feels” is a transcendental work of art that makes you wish you could live in that moment forever? That for 24 straight episodes you experienced something you will remember for the rest of your life? You’re just lying because a RUclipsr told you “this is the best anime of the season” and you want to be “part of the meme.”
Apothecary Diaries went so hard for no god damn reason. I had been actively ignoring it for half the season because nothing about it grabbed my attention. Then youtube shorts showed me a few funny moments so I decided to check an episode out, and I wound up catching up in an afternoon. Shit had me hooked.
Apothecary diaries had a huge fanbase before the anime with the Web novels, the light novels and the mangas. And the anime was really well done (I've just read some ep from the manga)
I really enjoy the Returner's Magic anime, I would give it an A or S tier (even without being paid by them). The Faraway Paladin Season 2 was also pretty good, I was surprised you missed it. Especially the second half of the season was great, so here I would give it an A tier.
Frieren is pretty good yeah. Was actually quite surprised by it. Buuut without any recency bias involved it doesn't even make it into my top 20. I mean there are just way too many masterpieces out there which are actually finished. Both old and new. It just doesn't stand any chance. It's biggest weakness is that it isn't even done yet or hasn't reached far enough into the story. Here's my top 10 example. 1. Gintama 2. HxH 3. Monster 4. AOT 5. Legend of the Galactic Heroes 6. FMAB 7. Fate Zero 8. Monogatari series 9. Cowboy Bebop 10. Kaguya-sama
@@bloody5081 Well, I am ranking Frieren within my top 2 or 3 anime. Although, Gintama would forever be in my top 1. Basically the only anime to make me cry from laughter and cry from emotions.
@@juanthegreat3954 For me I just want to see the anime cook a bit more. I want to see at least 2 more seasons before I give it a proper rating. As of right now it hasn't even reached it's climax yet. And yes Gintama is the best. I still can't believe that it's over.
@@bloody5081 Yeah this is the most correct opinion. Frieren reminds of many anime that are simple but attractive, and get extremely popular FAST. But don't exactly stick because they are just not among the many "masterpieces" out there. Last season was Oshi No Ko. Before that it was SpyxFamily. Now it is Frieren. It won't even come CLOSE to shows like Re:Zero, Monogatari, AOT, Vinland Saga, etc etc. It's just not THAT good. But it's still enjoyable. Just hate it when an enormous amount of people who only like those extremely popular shows come out and claim it's a masterpiece.
100 GF is gonna be a legendary show that people aren't gonna forget like some of the other forgettable rom coms that have come out. Good animation, hilarious humor, crazy plot, wholesomeness, fanservice, easily top tier anime.
Really? I gotta say, I've seen Toradora, and I dunno if any romcom can really reach levels like that. Then again, I suppose I haven't given most must of a chance, heh. Is it really THAT good?
@virtuosoflux It's not done, so we really can't say. If you're not into harem fanservice shows, though, it sounds like you're better off watching Golden Time. Which was written by the same author as Toradora.
@@virtuosoflux I just binged Toradora last week. It was fantastic! Though it did take a little while to warm up to Tiaga, thought she was a brat at first.
I liked Shy, The last arc was great! For me Frieren, Apothecary and 100gfs were clear God tier. Girlfriend Girlfriend was also great. Tearmoon, Mahoutsukai no yome s2p2, S-Rank musume, Hoshikuzu Telepath and 16 bit sensation were also great, defo all A or B tier.
In 100 Girlfriends Episode 12, the protagonist did not really get dirty with Hahari even the sequence was really suggestive. It was just Hahari trying to put the girly outfit on him, which is why the other girls rushed in to catch them and but only to find Rentarou cross-dressed. I read the same chapter in the manga and it seems the anime made this sequence extra dirty. In any case, this anime is just too funny and wacky to be just an A-tier for me. It's a 9/10 (S-tier) for me. My personal anime of the season is Pluto.
@@user-SaputroYono Yeah frieren has been an overall-positive experience for me for sure. One explanation I found sensible about your question is that high school is the greatest common factor for anime audiences. Take workplace for example, students who do not have workplace experiences would not be able to relate to that setting. Hence, anime rom-coms usually take place in high school.
Migi to Dali was a hidden gem in the fall season. It has the weird humor of sakamoto desu ga but also manages to tie in some mystery and emotional elements. Also it's a complete story with a satisfying ending in just 13 episodes, which is pretty rare for anime.
I don't think you actually read every comment, but this was my first video I've watched from you and may I say I'm impressed! You've earned another subscriber, your humor and timing is amazing. And you give jokes and also actual solid opinions on the anime. W video
Based as always, brother. Also, was on the same wavelength as you for Apothecary Diaries until literally last night where i binged all 13 eps... Watch it. Main characters is so loveable, and the plot and characters are all super real and intriguing
i dont think AD is suitable for everyone, it does have a slow pacing like Freiend but it also has some mysteries involved, most related to medications/health cases. Im here just for the slow burn romance.
I've been watching your videos for years now man and i swear your taste for anime and random humor is amazing, all your videos are entertaining and i cant wait for the rezero season to come out and eagerly watch your ep break down immediately after like always. Keep up the good work! c:
You are demigod of unexpected joke insertions. Well played. If you will continue this way, I might give you part of my 1000 girl harem. Keep up the good work.
i mean, he either attacks using the curses while having already a curse and dies in the process or gets killed by the ostrich queen, what other options he has?
I know its impossible to cover all anime however there are some anime I would have liked if you covered. one is 'I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness'- I went into this anime for the same reason you would imagine but It turned out to be entirely wholesome, so much so that I forgot my disappointment from its misleading title, would have provided a funny 30s or so for an Echidnut video. another one is 'Tearmoon Empire'- I thought it would just be a 'My next life as a villainess' rip off which it kind of was but was also really really funny and enjoyable, all in all another anime I think would have been great to be in your video. I didn't really watch any other anime that you didn't already mention so thats that. Thank you for reading the whole thing. May New ReZero season bring Echina back.🙏
Found this channel yesterday and I'm addicted to your videos and you genuinely have peak taste, purely because it alines with my taste, which is peak. Keep it up 🙏
This fall was stacked I’ve enjoyed it so much more than I was expecting (100 gfs,Undead Unluck, In Love with the villainess, apothecary, Frieren, Eminence, SpyxFamily, and Goblin slayer
I have to say the show that surprised me the most was Faraway Paladin season 2. The whole season made me so nostalgic for old school great fantasy stories. Season 1 was alright but season 2 really pulled me in. I loved it.
I appreciated the mentioning of SisXKiss. Loved that one when I was in high school, didn't think anyone would remember - but of course you would! :-D ... But overall, love your channel, watching every ranking to decide which ones to watch, as we got similar taste
I was thinking the same thing about Girlfriend, Girlfriend. Felt like it was basically on par with 100 Girlfriends but took a different path to get there
Apothecary Diaries is anime of the year for me (yes better then Friren, Oshi no Ko and Heavenly Delusion). Hope you will watch it in future. p.s. I'm interested at your opinion about Pluto also
Apothecary diaries is s tier, but I'll still give it to frieren slightly, and Pluto Is amazing and tragically underrated, especially the episode about the blind musician for me, beautiful,plus it reminds me of monster
I will agree that Goblin Slayer S2 is not as good as S1. But I will also admit that I didn't really mind the show becoming more of a slice of life. yes, it kind of lost its identity as a grimdark fantasy series, but the show is about Goblin Slayer learning to become more human. and they do still show the dark, edgy moments we've come to expect from the series, it was just pushed out of the way for that boring Elf Wedding arc. but we got to see Cow Girl in a bikini because of that, so I guess it balances out
Great ranking as always. Imo best shows were Eminence, Undead Unluck and Frieren but... Im a weirdo I enjoyed KmK's second season the most. Sometimes I got harder than Tarzan's sole. The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess ... the whole show is avarage but Terakomari fight scenes were surprisingly good (Villhaze every horn- moments was the only thing why I grinded throught this anime). And one more thing... the opening ... fripSide's Red Liberation is SUCH A BANGER.
Echidnut, you are easily my favourite anime RUclipsr. You are just so funny and creative that I laugh at every video. I literally jumped when I saw that you uploaded again lol. Keep up the work that you do pleaseeeee
100Gfs is easily worth an S-Tier in my opinion for how well written and fun it is for such an insane premise, and one of the best, if not the best of the harem genre. There are no losers in this harem in the sense that every girl gets to be with the MC (no competition) and the MC himself is also not a cringy loser type person, and you can see his sheer commitment with how he genuinely cares for every single girl, and knows what to do and say to make them as happy as possible. That plot twist and the sprinkle of 4th wall breaks are freakin hilarious as you really dont see it coming at all. The subs and jokes are also on another level with references that really suit western audiences. Many people seem to be turned off by the title alone for how ridiculous and de-gen it sounds, but they're missing out on such a gem. The manga I heard also takes its sweet time as more characters enter the show. The anime can literally can go on for a decade before reaching all 100, which I genuinely hope it does for how entertaining it is, lol.
As a beszerk of gluttony manga reader, it feels as if the animation studio decided to add some random filler and do some animation shorcuts, making some of the scenes weird.
Okay, I am actually surprised because in my opinion Shy was really fine, I mean nothing special, but it was a good quality anime, it delivers what you are expecting from this kind of anime.
13:50 That was the funniest shit ever. 😂 Great stuff as always Echidnut. :) HEY since you read all the comments, would you tell me the name of the song during the Undead Unluck part? :D
ngl I do not know how you are not in jail for not watching apothecary diaries... so listen this is my pitch personalized specifically for you: a girl dies (she gets kidnapped) and then she gets isekaied (she gets transported and sold off into the palace). in this isekai world everything is a bit different but also just the same as in her old world - but most importantly this isekai world belongs to the giga-harem-lord. he literally has like more than 100 girlfriends (+ 1 attractive guy that is probably secretly his son or so - but whatever floats your boat I am not going to judge). and also DRUGZ. also the main character just watches stuff and comments on it a lot in her head and sometimes shares her thoughts with the public (if she thinks they are acceptable enough). (so she is just like you fr) as you swear you read every comment you kinda have no excuse not to watch it now
echi, some of the stuff you say in your video is absolutely unhinged lol I love it also. been here since your re:zero days. really cool how far you've grown!
I dropped Spy x Family around the introduction of the family dog. The premise got me hooked but then I realized the story will conclude at a snail's pace (if at all). Each episode felt like a filler with little to no story progression. It's like a 90s sitcom.
Eminence in Shadow was defo one of the best anime of fall imo. Obvs not on the level of Frieren and JJK, but still very entertaining and had one of the craziest finale's !
I saw what you did there. And it somehow pisses me off how perfect it was. "Flashbacks in Tokyo Revengers feels exactly the same as RUclips ads. Like imagine I was about to say something really important and then... (actual youtube ads played)"
so i stumbled across your tier list looking for a new anime to watch and loved it but i was wandering where do you watch your anime at iv have been debating on getting a sub somewhere but not sure where .. any thoughts ?
I get what you mean not knowing if frieren deserves #1 on MAL, I mean fmab was even my first anime, but idk I just love it so much. it also seems that pretty soon (~ep 19?) the story is gonna start getting a lot more interesting (not that it wasn't already amazing). I think in my personal opinion frieren is the best anime ever made, it just has literally 0 flaws I can think of, though it is great in a completely different way than fmab, so it's really hard to compare the two. We'll see I guess I just love the characters, the setting, and the whole premise, it's so fresh and new while being animated by extremely talented artists, and every time I watch an episode it genuinely feels like I'm in a different world
If you really read every single comment then pin mine!

I read the same chapter in the manga and it seems the anime made this sequence extra dirty. In any case, this anime is just too funny and wacky to be just an A-tier for me. It's a 9/10 (S-tier) for me.
My personal anime of the season is Pluto.
Frieren is not bad. One question who still bothering me is, why in the romance anime always taking place in school?
@@user-SaputroYono Yeah frieren has been an overall-positive experience for me for sure. One explanation I found sensible about your question is that high school is the greatest common factor for anime audiences. Take workplace for example, students who do not have workplace experiences would not be able to relate to that setting. Hence, anime rom-coms usually take place in high school.
Migi to Dali was a hidden gem in the fall season. It has the weird humor of sakamoto desu ga but also manages to tie in some mystery and emotional elements. Also it's a complete story with a satisfying ending in just 13 episodes, which is pretty rare for anime.
Yep, its the only anime I finished in the fall season 💀
It was so good, it’s sad how little attention it has gotten
I don't think you actually read every comment, but this was my first video I've watched from you and may I say I'm impressed! You've earned another subscriber, your humor and timing is amazing. And you give jokes and also actual solid opinions on the anime. W video
Thank you!!
Can never not click on an Echidnut video. Easy S tier for me
Man i love your videos every each season. Like most of all the time when i needed to know what should i watch better anime 😂
Based as always, brother. Also, was on the same wavelength as you for Apothecary Diaries until literally last night where i binged all 13 eps... Watch it. Main characters is so loveable, and the plot and characters are all super real and intriguing
i dont think AD is suitable for everyone, it does have a slow pacing like Freiend but it also has some mysteries involved, most related to medications/health cases. Im here just for the slow burn romance.
I've been watching your videos for years now man and i swear your taste for anime and random humor is amazing, all your videos are entertaining and i cant wait for the rezero season to come out and eagerly watch your ep break down immediately after like always. Keep up the good work! c:
Eminence in Shadow is god tier for me. The plot setup from S1 hit and the jokes hit even harder.
Loved that anime so much that I started playing the gacha game, even tho I hate that kind of games to my guts. Yeah, it's that good.
seasion 1 is god tier
You are demigod of unexpected joke insertions. Well played. If you will continue this way, I might give you part of my 1000 girl harem. Keep up the good work.
"He's basically a Pokemon trainer" Okay this line is seriously good given the totally botched up direction Shield Hero has gone since season 1.
i mean, he either attacks using the curses while having already a curse and dies in the process or gets killed by the ostrich queen, what other options he has?
I know its impossible to cover all anime however there are some anime I would have liked if you covered. one is 'I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness'- I went into this anime for the same reason you would imagine but It turned out to be entirely wholesome, so much so that I forgot my disappointment from its misleading title, would have provided a funny 30s or so for an Echidnut video. another one is 'Tearmoon Empire'- I thought it would just be a 'My next life as a villainess' rip off which it kind of was but was also really really funny and enjoyable, all in all another anime I think would have been great to be in your video. I didn't really watch any other anime that you didn't already mention so thats that. Thank you for reading the whole thing. May New ReZero season bring Echina back.🙏
Found this channel yesterday and I'm addicted to your videos and you genuinely have peak taste, purely because it alines with my taste, which is peak. Keep it up 🙏
Your ad placement on your Tokyo Revengers review is absolutly genius 😂😂
I like the eminence in shadow, best anime of the season imo.
Last season was better this one skipped a lot
Frieren the best anime this season for sure. Eminence is still good but not as good as the first season
This was one of the very few anime reviews that i really enjoyed, i loved it hope you upload quality content like more! Subscribed!
ur literally the funniest anime ytuber, please ujpload more
"Imagine I'm about to say something important and then..." that ad was perfect 😂
This fall was stacked I’ve enjoyed it so much more than I was expecting (100 gfs,Undead Unluck, In Love with the villainess, apothecary, Frieren, Eminence, SpyxFamily, and Goblin slayer
Man that advertisement was well played. Also really great tier list.
Your humor is legendary man! And your opinions are unfathomably based.
You are my favorite youtuber and you always put a smile on my face when I'm having a rough time. Thank you!
I have to say the show that surprised me the most was Faraway Paladin season 2. The whole season made me so nostalgic for old school great fantasy stories. Season 1 was alright but season 2 really pulled me in. I loved it.
Lmao the shot at the euro 😂
Also! How could you NOT have said "Holy fuck! That was crazy!" At Frieren ep 8/9 you knooowwww, *those* scenes!
I appreciated the mentioning of SisXKiss. Loved that one when I was in high school, didn't think anyone would remember - but of course you would! :-D ... But overall, love your channel, watching every ranking to decide which ones to watch, as we got similar taste
echidnut when did turn to the dark side of speech? or humor idk its been a year or more since i last watched your video so~! hi!!
Would love to see your Top 10 Anime's of 2023 list
I was thinking the same thing about Girlfriend, Girlfriend. Felt like it was basically on par with 100 Girlfriends but took a different path to get there
Apothecary Diaries is anime of the year for me (yes better then Friren, Oshi no Ko and Heavenly Delusion). Hope you will watch it in future.
p.s. I'm interested at your opinion about Pluto also
Apothecary diaries is s tier, but I'll still give it to frieren slightly, and Pluto Is amazing and tragically underrated, especially the episode about the blind musician for me, beautiful,plus it reminds me of monster
@@brightsanimesongs225 because it is written by the same author as monster
I will agree that Goblin Slayer S2 is not as good as S1. But I will also admit that I didn't really mind the show becoming more of a slice of life. yes, it kind of lost its identity as a grimdark fantasy series, but the show is about Goblin Slayer learning to become more human. and they do still show the dark, edgy moments we've come to expect from the series, it was just pushed out of the way for that boring Elf Wedding arc. but we got to see Cow Girl in a bikini because of that, so I guess it balances out
Frieren and The Eminence in Shadow were the best anime of last season
Great ranking as always.
Imo best shows were Eminence, Undead Unluck and Frieren but... Im a weirdo I enjoyed KmK's second season the most. Sometimes I got harder than Tarzan's sole.
The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess ... the whole show is avarage but Terakomari fight scenes were surprisingly good (Villhaze every horn- moments was the only thing why I grinded throught this anime). And one more thing... the opening ... fripSide's Red Liberation is SUCH A BANGER.
Echidnut, you are easily my favourite anime RUclipsr. You are just so funny and creative that I laugh at every video. I literally jumped when I saw that you uploaded again lol. Keep up the work that you do pleaseeeee
Ofc bros commentating skills are off the charts. Makes me wanna watch all the animes on your teir lists even tho ive alr watched most of them
100Gfs is easily worth an S-Tier in my opinion for how well written and fun it is for such an insane premise, and one of the best, if not the best of the harem genre.
There are no losers in this harem in the sense that every girl gets to be with the MC (no competition) and the MC himself is also not a cringy loser type person, and you can see his sheer commitment with how he genuinely cares for every single girl, and knows what to do and say to make them as happy as possible.
That plot twist and the sprinkle of 4th wall breaks are freakin hilarious as you really dont see it coming at all. The subs and jokes are also on another level with references that really suit western audiences.
Many people seem to be turned off by the title alone for how ridiculous and de-gen it sounds, but they're missing out on such a gem. The manga I heard also takes its sweet time as more characters enter the show. The anime can literally can go on for a decade before reaching all 100, which I genuinely hope it does for how entertaining it is, lol.
I ain’t reading allat 💀
I ain’t reading allat 💀
Bro was that ad intentional? I guess it was and it was fantastic xD
“it sucks more than two lesbian vampires on their periods” is crazy💀💀💀
wild
Impeccable taste good sir. You should upload more often
Apothecary diaries is Chinese breaking bad. Soo much drama. It’s based
Damn alright I'm sold
Commentary is S tier lol. Subscribed
Never seen your videos before but this sht was hilarious. The Kanye joke almost killed me.
The only change I would make in my own list is move 100 GF to S
As a beszerk of gluttony manga reader, it feels as if the animation studio decided to add some random filler and do some animation shorcuts, making some of the scenes weird.
13:15 I got an add here and for a second I thought Echidnut was a reincarnation of Einstein
How have I just discovered this channel? This guys is hilarious
Okay, I am actually surprised because in my opinion Shy was really fine, I mean nothing special, but it was a good quality anime, it delivers what you are expecting from this kind of anime.
13:50 That was the funniest shit ever. 😂
Great stuff as always Echidnut. :)
HEY since you read all the comments, would you tell me the name of the song during the Undead Unluck part? :D
The First Layer from Made in Abyss :)
@@Echidnut Haha nice, thanks. :D
@@Echidnut Ah man I just realized I meant to ask about the one that plays when you show the world map. The maid in abyss song is cool too though.
ngl I do not know how you are not in jail for not watching apothecary diaries...
so listen this is my pitch personalized specifically for you:
a girl dies (she gets kidnapped) and then she gets isekaied (she gets transported and sold off into the palace). in this isekai world everything is a bit different but also just the same as in her old world - but most importantly this isekai world belongs to the giga-harem-lord. he literally has like more than 100 girlfriends (+ 1 attractive guy that is probably secretly his son or so - but whatever floats your boat I am not going to judge). and also DRUGZ.
also the main character just watches stuff and comments on it a lot in her head and sometimes shares her thoughts with the public (if she thinks they are acceptable enough). (so she is just like you fr)
as you swear you read every comment you kinda have no excuse not to watch it now
100 girlfriends is tooooooooo relatable
facts
echi, some of the stuff you say in your video is absolutely unhinged lol I love it
also. been here since your re:zero days. really cool how far you've grown!
I dropped Spy x Family around the introduction of the family dog. The premise got me hooked but then I realized the story will conclude at a snail's pace (if at all). Each episode felt like a filler with little to no story progression. It's like a 90s sitcom.
Good god damn. I died of laughter at least 3 separate times during the 100 girlfriends segment. You are a treasure
Eminence in Shadow was defo one of the best anime of fall imo. Obvs not on the level of Frieren and JJK, but still very entertaining and had one of the craziest finale's !
13:15 you got me an ad here! Bravo
Ukraine has a crush on Russia got me 💀
Thank you for your ranking it made me easy to select anime to watch easily ❤
6:23 i did not see that coming 😭
Bro Fr like wtf😂
First time seeing your channel, loved every single second of the video, we will have a long path together
"Its like if Ukraine had a crush on Russia" literally killed me 1:46
too soon 🤣
13:16 NO WAY I ACTUALLY GOT A FUCKING AD. BRO THAT SHIT BOTH PISSED ME OFF AND MADE ME DIE OF LAUGHTER
Man I find the eminence of shadow so cringe I couldn’t keep up after 2 episodes in
I saw what you did there. And it somehow pisses me off how perfect it was.
"Flashbacks in Tokyo Revengers feels exactly the same as RUclips ads. Like imagine I was about to say something really important and then... (actual youtube ads played)"
6:26 😂 really
Hey Echidnut, I really appreciate these videos. They definitely opened my eyes to at least a couple animes I missed this season.
Came for the reviews stayed for the jokes . You are hilarious never stop being you no matter what !
Your comentary is sooo funny bro, keep up the work!!
shut in vampire's villain was voiced by sora amamiya, therefore she wont die because she has plot armor
so i stumbled across your tier list looking for a new anime to watch and loved it but i was wandering where do you watch your anime at iv have been debating on getting a sub somewhere but not sure where .. any thoughts ?
All agree!
Also I was super surprised with Returners animation quality. Way better than I thought it would be. Not great, but good enough....
I love your almost non-sensical humor. it's so funny despite being unrelated half the time.
Your videos are like a treat to my ears ✨
I hope this video helps with the rent 😂
The Eminence In Shadow is God tier for sure every second from that anime is pure entertainment u cant ask for more than that.
I get what you mean not knowing if frieren deserves #1 on MAL, I mean fmab was even my first anime, but idk I just love it so much. it also seems that pretty soon (~ep 19?) the story is gonna start getting a lot more interesting (not that it wasn't already amazing). I think in my personal opinion frieren is the best anime ever made, it just has literally 0 flaws I can think of, though it is great in a completely different way than fmab, so it's really hard to compare the two. We'll see I guess
I just love the characters, the setting, and the whole premise, it's so fresh and new while being animated by extremely talented artists, and every time I watch an episode it genuinely feels like I'm in a different world
