I loved Frieren; it's by far my favorite show that has come out recently. So I was a little disappointed to hear you didn't like the second half as much. That said, all your criticisms are definitely valid. I will say your very last statement when talking about the negatives, I feel like you need to give some slack. This show has 2 or 3 fights with the absolute best animation in the game; you simply can't expect that same quality for fights between side characters that no one cares about. The decrease in quality is just especially noticeable because it's sandwiched between such well-done animation. But Im glad you're liking the show overall, anxiously waiting for season 2, and then I'll be waiting for your review on it, lol.
