Ohh good stuff. I definitely prefer regular food over magical food, in a food show. The worldbuilding here is fantastic.
This is the first time they cared about the medicinal value of food. It worked in a fantastical way reviving Marcille so quickly. I'd only thought about the food as regular food until now. I suppose it makes sense mystical monster meat can have exaggerated nutritional value.
Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai by Yoko Hikasa - Attack on Titan ED1. The melody is a startling contrast from the anime itself. Unlike the action packed and destructive anime, the song is gentle and pure, sad and foreboding, but with a measure of strength. Like someone (namely Mikasa, featured in the video) desperately fighting to hold on to something that will inevitably escape their grasp.
I love the Oshi no Ko OP so much. YOASOBI are awesome!
Tangential mini-rant, sorry
I generally love YOASOBI but don't get why their song was chosen for Frieren's OP. Probably just because of how popular they are as a performer. It's a catchy song, but the style clashes so much and the Ending song (Anytime Anywhere by Milet) is way better of a match with that anime. Sorry to be a downer
I checked out the first episode. It's unabashedly degenerate, and over the top. It's a great start 😆
Thanks for the detailed reply! That story sounds longer than I expected, and interesting that it's faithful to the game without much filler, maybe I'll keep an eye on the manga then.
