I watched Frieren in one night, and it was beautiful. The connection between different episodes, which you only get if you remember every sentence. (For example: why she learned a spell for sour grapes)
Yuppp..... Initial few episodes were going really slow....I thought it was gonna be trash.....well I was wrong ....and yeah , she learned that spell coz his friend liked sour grapes
It feels like a melancholic journey filled with joy but also some tint sadness.... I really love the immersion of this world and how it made me remember why I loved fantasy world so much.
Dude, how is gigguk so good at making videos. I literally didn't even notice the 20 minutes slip away. And that editing with the speedrun at the end HILARIOUS. Shoutout to the other editors as well, ya'll doing some great work.
The first one he brought up is actually both. Because his first life is a fantasy story. Then he gets sent back to his younger self. I know, technically not an isekai because he doesn't go to a different world, but is more of an Isekai than SAO.
Frieren and Apothecary Diary is basically my peaceful adventure this season, two anime about basically daily problem while the bigger problem unfolding slowly in the background, Watching Frieren reminiscing her past adventure while having a new one combined with Mao Mao solving various sometimes weird problem and mystery as well as navigating through rigid social barrier and stay out of trouble (although pointless) is really engaging, Both of them provides balanced slow daily life stuffs and heavy plot unfolding in a way that's really engaging and intriguing. Guess I'm set all the way to New Year since both of them have 20+ episodes
man im so happy ive been reading frieren for ages and im so happy they made adaptation which did not destroyed manga rep like pandora hearts and other mangas
9:15 Apothecary Diaries went harder than I thought. Felt like a Doctor + Sherlock anime with a great female MC + an interesting romance dynamic I also never felt as interested in politics in anime until I read the LNs
I honestly need this series because I don't think anyone is able to keep up with every anime these days. Thank You Garnt for your sacrifices, truly you are the greatest among us.
100 Girlfriends really gets elevated to greatness by its premise. Where in most other Harem Animes the protagonist is either a completely clueless idiot or an actual sociopath, 100 Girlfriends made its protagonist be a kind-hearted boy who quite literally has to date 100 girls at once or else the girls all die miserably. But does he use that as an excuse to neglect or ignore his girlfriends? Nope, the chad literally tries his best to love all of his girlfriends equally. And because he's such a sweet, genuine guy, all of the girlfriends agree to this. ALL OF THEM.
Average harem protagonist: *either dense, or actively prevent from developing his romantic feelings towards any of the girls* 100 GF protagonist: *vows to make every single one of his GFs happy, and actually tries his best* 100GF really is the kinda show that I won't mind to watch 4-5 seasons of.
Ngl, maybe harem is not my thing. Many recommend that to me. Honestly, for me, it's the cringest manga I have ever read. It made me lose my remaining braincells the more I read. I do know it's for laughs and sh!t, but I just can't seem to like it. The more I read it, the more i suffer from cringe. Only managed to go up to chap 17. It's even more cringer than the isekai bullshits I've seen. U can read it if u are a harem guy or waifu guy or whatever.
Gotta love the Summoning Salts reference at the end. Can't wait for Matt Turk to break that record. This season really has tons and tons of shows to watch. Grateful that Garnt goes to the trouble of making these videos as it allows a show that I skimmed over to get a second chance, but it's also fun to see shows that he's made videos about before, Frieren and Shadow, getting another spotlight and seeing the man happy about them. May it distract him from whatever animal anime comes next...

As someone who has read the Manga for Frieren, omg they couldn't have done any better of adapting it. Everything from the absolutely gorgeous animation, to the cast and overall story. Frieren is an easy 10/10 and it isn't even debatable imo
agree, manga was so good already. i have doubt about the anime, since the story is slow and not much battle going on. but damn, the production quality is top notch, blew me out.
@@xValsionYou say you've read the manga but are complaining about no battles in the anime? Makes me wonder if you've actually read the manga at all, because it's not what I'd call "action packed."
Glad Undead Unluck got the shout out it deserved. I can't even watch the show (legally) in Thailand because of 'Hulu', but the manga really offers one of the most creative and genre-bending stories in recent years while keeping a fun tone. I just really, really hope it will be legally accessible worldwide soon.
The Apothecary Diaries and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End are two must watch shows. They are both really good animes in their own way, offering unique ideas in their storylines. Needless to say they are already among my favourites
apothecary dieries and kamonohashi ron are same thing basically, kamonohashi ron is best detective in history, but maomao solves cases faster than best detective in history does and maomao is never wrong, i can predict outcome of every single episode, those anime are same as "got reincarnated as strongest magician" or whatever where MC is never wrong, you really shouldnt state your opinion about quality of anime in public, but thats just my opinion i could be wrong xD
@@patrikarhi ehh ig but honestly the premises are different. Maomao isn’t focused on being a detective, and doesn’t mainly solve cases. The comedy and elements in the story are different from Kamonohashi. But ur opinion is urs and mine is mine it doesn’t matter.
@@Whale64yeah dont state your opinion anywhere in future, it is painful reading what u wrote, they both solve mysteries thats the premise of every episode so far. Opinion is for your tastes, i like SAO but i will still rate it 7/10 or lower, be realistic an say it is average anime 6/10 at best. I like berserk of gluttony but i would never recommend it cause is average or even below average anime, say it with me "apothecary diaries is not any good but i still like it"
It's typical crazy organization shit, that every seasons there's always a slot for it I think ppl just gonna be blinded with more isekai and fantasy show instead of that one, that's why it's one of the underrated anime of the season
Glad Gigguk put Sousou no Frieren as the biggest on the thumbnail, I know a lot of people are watching it already but it deserves more views imo. Basically a mixture of Kino’s Journey with some Mushoku Tensei elements blended into it! ❤
The thing about Undead Unluck as a manga reader is that it hasn’t even really begun exploring the most interesting aspects of its world and power system yet in the anime
Actually liking a harem like 100 girlfriends is a really surprise for me this season. The show is aware for it's ridiculousness and not afraid to turn it up like Eminence or Gintama.
@@alittleofsomething Oh yeah, there's a few who are gonna be 100% controversial, but the story doesn't care, and after a while you just need to accept them, funny enough the 6th GF got redeemed.
I like it I read the manga up until I couldn't remember all the girlfriends names properly. It's weird because the mangaka attempts to give EVERY GIRLFRIEND SCREENTIME. My head hurts too much to read it but watching it will be fun
As I knew about the premise of Frieren, when I began watching the first episode I was ready to get hit in the feels and it didn't disappoint. I downloaded the first 10 episodes the night prior to my flight back home from Tokyo and watched them all one after the other, it was amazing.
Ive been looking forward to Frieren since i heard about it is a rare genre that it's even rarer that its done well. That genre being a slow thoughtful show that explores an idea or concept. Try the 2004 Kino no Tabi for another example of this done well (not the 2017 version). It like Frieren is a masterpiece in this genre but one i personally hold to higher regard. (the Dub is also extremely good and is one of the very few shows id say the Dub is better as it allows for you to focus on the world and it was done before the mass dubbing using the same voice actors).
Love how you mentioned that frieren is also about appreciating the little things in life. One of the things that hooked me on this anime was exactly this
I love that when you first mentioned Forbidden Deductions, I thought the Super Detective was banned from Investigating because he was SO good, that it ruined the sport of Crime as it wasn't giving criminals a fair chance. Him telling criminals to Unalive themselves makes a lot more sense as a valid reason to be told to stop.
Garnt I don't know if you still edit your own videos, but if you do, this one was a masterpiece. Really clever cuts and references, probably my favorite seasonal anime in a nutshell video yet. I hope you don't get burnt out doing these because the quality and love really shows and I just wanted to leave you a nice comment of my appreciation :)
Apothecary Diaries has been such a surprise for me this season. Definitely worth watching - the first episode is fine, but it really ramps up throughout. Historic Chinese Waifu House is a great way to put it. Frieren is fantastic and easily one of the best this season. Eminence is still the goat of isekai. I want isekai quartet with shadow and Kazuma meeting. Two goats. Overtake has been really great - but I am the target audience: I love racing and photography. Berserk of gluttony is hilarious for being such a copy and paste of everything fantasy/isekai.
Lol that daughter caught ligma protocol rain bit almost killed my gut. 🤣 I needed that, currently going through dopamine lows due to seasonal affective disorder. Winter blows.
I'm glad 16bit Sensation got a mention because I'm really really loving it, especially as a VN fan. Konoha's outraged scream at Kanon and Sengoku Rance priced 100 JPY at the shop was like "she's just like me fr fr." VNs deserves some more respect, Konoha's right in how influential they are. Maybe with the time travel mechanics they can get to Minori which is INSANELY influential being one of the dominoes in both Chinese gachage and Makoto Shinkai's career.
I personally hate the ayaya Voice acting, those high pitched voices are personally Just Not for me, even If I am Sure that she is doing a fantastic Job.
They are also, in my opinion, the best possible medium to learn Japanese. You get text, pronunciations that you can play over and over, native-oriented storytelling and lots of idiomatic expressions. Also, the art is gorgeous in some of them!
My english is terrible btw im not a writer just an Isekai idea (no magic or it can be just read the last idea I thought) (Before isekaied) First it show his life growing up in technological era.his life goes like this he grow up with loving family taking care of him.loved by everyone goes through a lot of struggle and hardship.he grow up to be father he love is his family,life and he want to see them grow he is happy.... Until one day he died cause of laboratory accident killing him.his though process when he is dieing he feel sad,scared,worried and angry because of his happy life is ending without seeing his family son wife daughter growing up like their first day at school,college,graduation,marriage and their life happy (He died) At this part he see a vision seeing some light first he thought he is alive feeling happy until he try to move his hand normally but it feel to weird the he saw that his hand is small with his blurry vision then he try to touch his face he feel the touch from his face and hand later realizing that when the accident happened his hand is dicapitated with the current technology they aren't able to create such and organic hand with sensory feel(note:idk if we r able to do this in era)then he try to talk but unable to do so.he starting to feel scared, anxious and heart beating fast he realize he is a baby knowing this he thought it is reincarnation at this moment he is completely feel scared and shock because he is unaware of this new world going to offer plus with the memory of his past life he hate the idea of reincarnation with past memory because it feel torturing to him bcuz his life was perfect he didn't want to start a new life Synopsis:reincarnated in (any era u think this story fit my thought was like time when technology is consider some kind of witchery to make the mc have development since he love tech but maybe in this world people have different opinions) he going through another world of life questioning his life in the past and right now overcoming his depression wether he want to accept this new life. Im thinking that he have endless reincarnation maybe for future arc feeling lifeless that it never ending of this cruel soul reincarnation with different shape or form of life maybe the story goes to unacceptance to accepting this endless reincarnation with the fact it full of adventurous and experience.with this arc maybe he try to find another reincarnation (note this is maybe too cruel) he can but when the reincarnation people meet one of them die but why? Hmmm maybe its a terrible idea.
Am I the only one who noticed that almost every manga Gigguk talked about got an anime after a while? ( like: Oshi no Ko, Zom 100, and now Frieren: Beyond Journey's End ) And I'm honestly sure that the rest of the manga that Gigguk spoke about will also get an anime in the future.
The one about the smoker chick and the office dude got an announcement for its anime. Gigguk also spoke Call of the Night into being. Either he's prophetic or it was just a matter of time for most manga to get an anime adaptation. So... Gash Bell 2 when

Now I kinda want to see someone make a full parody for 100 Girlfriends, because that protag genuinely radiates the same kinda “wait, quantum mechanics allows this?!” energy as speedrunners. “Normally, the game has a pity system, and if you roll enough rejections with high karma, you’ll get a guaranteed success. However, the game stores this as an unsigned int, and takes a few frames to properly reset the flags. As such, if a runner could activate two proposals at once, he could cause an underflow glitch, granting 255 guaranteed successful proposals. This… is the Tenchi maneuver”
Undead Unluck is really phenomenal, it’s only going to get better especially as the world building progresses. It’s a fantastically rewarding series to spend time with and each little detail means something.
I watched episode 1 for the seemingly half-baked premise, stayed for the animation, then was completely hooked by the hook dropped in like, the 5th episode. xD What a weird underdog series.
I love how Gigguk keeps making these videos, and somehow seems to keep one-upping himself with the jokes. That one summoning-sallt bit had me rolling. My favorite creator on YT by far
I watched the first episode of Frieren, and I am hooked. It is just different compared to other anime, it has the feels, the vibe, it makes ponder whether living a long live really matters. So good
These videos are always my favourite. The Humor, editing and script are peak. Please never stop making these. It would be really cool if you went back to previous years and made videos about them too. Love your work and keep it up.
My top 3 this season 1. Frieran, this should be the anime of the year 2. The Apothecary Diaries, I was surprised by how good this has been . 3. The Eminence in Shadow, well it was not as good as I expected it to be but still pretty fun.
With BG3 Sex% breaking a minute barrier, then being patched out only to be patched back in, it has never been a better time to be a competitive sex haver.
When I read the first chapter, I immediately think what if TRUE sings for Frieren op, so I tried to use Sincerely with Frieren intro, and I don't feel something off of it. Also Evan Call is a perfect choice for the show music
Over the years of watching anime, Apothecary Diaries definitely left a mark as one of the best anime’s to exist. Something about the story and characters are just so good and refreshing. The cherry on top is that it’s gonna be a 24ep season which means 2x the excitement and anticipation
frieren legit made me cry.this anime hit the spot in so many different ways and you can really relate to the struggles that the characters faces. This anime make you think about your life choices
This anime is quite a whiplash. you started out speed running through her life and it only starts to slow down when she gets herself and apprentice, of whom actually teaches Frieren to learn to be mindful of her time even though she is almost an immortal.
I'll be honest here, that summoning salt segment made me tear up a little, i loved it. Great video, thank you for keeping us up with this seasons shows.
I am 3 episodes in....does it get better? Just like with Monster, I like overall plot and ideas, but characters and what moves the story forward just feels sooo contrived.
@@Roonagu you didn’t like the first episode? That episode got me emotional 😢 but yes don’t worry the whole thing is great stick with it you won’t regret it
@@saebre. Eh they haven't really been mainstream that long really. Before like 2013's GDQ and Twitch really taking off speedrunning was pretty obscure outside of a few TASes of games like Super Mario Bros blowing people's minds back before 2010 every couple of years.
Frieren is one of the rare animes that completely hooked me within the first few episodes. It is so beautiful in many different ways from the stunning visuals to the well orchestrated music and the slow-paced yet never boring plot I can say confidently that this is definitely my top for 2023.
People are sleeping on Dead Mount Death Play. The animation isn't the best ever, but it's doing reverse Isekai right! Every episode adds more & more layers to the multiple mysteries, but you can always tell it's going somewhere. It actually got me reading the manga, and now I'm enjoying it even more! Edit: Shoutout to *Pluto* as well! Hot damn, that was a great ride!
@ARCNA442 Not quite yet, though the pace has definitely picked up (only 4 episodes in so far). But I started reading the manga to figure out if there were real payoffs, and now it all makes sense to me. All the mysteries & questions being layered on each other have purpose. S1 was introducing & setting up all the players & pieces, but it's all planned out. If you liked Baccano! or Durarara!! it's just like them (same writer). But I can see why it might not feel worth it to some people
He didn’t really discuss any sequel. He did mention during his livestream that he has read the manga and that this season was gonna be really amazing, so he’s not sleeping on it it just didn’t put it in the video.
Returner's Magic Should be Special is something that I've been reading for the last couple years, and I just want to say that it caught me COMPLETELY off-guard when I saw it pop up on the 2023 fall list. Berserk of Gluttony is in the same boat too. 100% It has amazing source material and I am hyped beyond belief for this adaptation from out of left field. With the Solo Leveling adaptation on the horizon, I can't be anything but excited for all the different manhwa and manhua to get animated.
is Returner's Magic actually good? Since there are so many good anime this season I didn't give a chance (especially since the MAL rating is super low too).
@@XanderFenikkusu I don't know about the anime, but the manhwa is good I wouldn't consider it the best. It is basically what you would expect, with someone who has a second chance to save the world with all their knowledge (not their power) from the future. You get to watch the protagonist try to navigate the situation with his future knowledge of magical innovation and the creative uses he made for weaker spells that he gained from said future. The protagonist from what I read (got interrupted due to life circumstances, need to pick it back up) doesn't ever really get OP, there's always a bigger fish which he can use his knowledge to combat. There's also the personal aspects that I'm surprised to see brought-up by a manhwa, often in these types of stories beginner writers focus on the main character planning and completely negate the personal side of things. To that degree we are left with an interesting situation where the protagonist wants to get his relationships back but he is simply a far more different person than he was when the original events happened.
you just make the best anime recap every season. thank you! Also: I couldnt stop listening to your voice while watching Frieren. Had it on my manga "to-watch" list since i saw your video, and you were damn right about it. Gotta thank you for that one aswell
Frieren is so good it might actually become my anime of the year of it continous like this. Also Shangri La Frontier is a really fun show that I randomly started watching with a friend. Other than that I am only watching JJK and Spy Family from the shows of this season. As a Romcom enjoyer nothing really peaked my interest this season.
Watch Under ninja, You will not regret it. Its not Romcom... but its comedy goes beyond what gigguck was able to show. besides that ur not missing anything else.
I have to say, as someone with absolutely zero interest in villainess anime or isekai in general, Tearmoon is actually surprisingly hilarious and well done. I wouldn’t call it ground breaking, but it really balances the comedy with the darker stuff quite well. And the mc is pretty great because she’s STILL a selfish asshole, but now she has perspective and is really trying, they didn’t just take the easy route and microwave it. Also the fact that she keeps failing upwards is hilarious. The writing is way better than I expected from looking at the trailer and thumbnail art. I find myself actually looking forward to it each week, which I wasn’t expecting to
Well, they do the easy route. I mean, she's a kid. A princess, sure, but a kid. We don't see her doing anything with her parents, the head ministers, and so on. Instead, she befriends one guy, and that bit of favor is enough to reverse the country's economic downfall. That would impact a lot of very powerful people, and upset quite a few. The favor of a princess isn't going to be enough to pull that off. And this guy, he talks about how expensive her meals and such are, and that's obviously the type of thing that needs to be curtailed. So how does the next episode start? With her buying super expensive chocolates. Oh, and then adding an additional expense by supporting the writer gal. And hey, a single charity hospital? Disease crisis averted. Mind you, I like the show, and find it fun, but it is definitely an anime to enjoy about what is happening on the screen, and not to try and figure out how it would all the stuff they gloss over would actually play out, what it would require.
@@Axterix13 oh yeah, I mean it’s definitely not deep. I mean I enjoyed that it didn’t just say “something terrible happened to her and now she’s a good person”, it actually bothers to give her a character arc. I personally like the deep ‘running a kingdom’ stuff, but it was clear it was never going to be that kind of anime so I don’t mind the glossing so much. I do wish we got to see more of her family though, I feel that’s an important detail. But maybe that’s for later
The moment I heard Marie Antoinette go backs in time and tries to stop the French Revolution I knew I was going to watch it despite I have never watched villainnes genre.

100 Girlfriends really gets elevated to greatness by its premise. Where in most other Harem Animes the protagonist is either a completely clueless idiot or an actual sociopath, 100 Girlfriends made its protagonist be a kind-hearted boy who quite literally has to date 100 girls at once or else the girls all die miserably. But does he use that as an excuse to neglect or ignore his girlfriends? Nope, the chad literally tries his best to love all of his girlfriends equally. And because he's such a sweet, genuine guy, all of the girlfriends agree to this. ALL OF THEM.
Average harem protagonist: *either dense, or actively prevent from developing his romantic feelings towards any of the girls*
100 GF protagonist: *vows to make every single one of his GFs happy, and actually tries his best*
100GF really is the kinda show that I won't mind to watch 4-5 seasons of.
so, they finally did it. they did the impossible and managed to grow out of the mould. they finally did it!
the only mc that deserve harem. i hope we get type of mc like this in future. the anime industry has growing lately
Ngl, maybe harem is not my thing. Many recommend that to me. Honestly, for me, it's the cringest manga I have ever read. It made me lose my remaining braincells the more I read. I do know it's for laughs and sh!t, but I just can't seem to like it. The more I read it, the more i suffer from cringe. Only managed to go up to chap 17. It's even more cringer than the isekai bullshits I've seen. U can read it if u are a harem guy or waifu guy or whatever.
I can foresee a lot of hate comments coming to me after that comment.
Edit: Surprisingly, there isn't.
Garnt's jokes always impress me, like does this man ever miss??
These are always such a delight
idk if its his editor or him but i didnt expect daz games to be in a gigguk video even if its just a meme
Idk man... His rapping skills was kinda of a miss
@@christianangelovergara855 idk what you're talking about, giggUK is the best rapper the world has ever seen. Even Eminem respects him
Gotta love the Summoning Salts reference at the end. Can't wait for Matt Turk to break that record.
This season really has tons and tons of shows to watch. Grateful that Garnt goes to the trouble of making these videos as it allows a show that I skimmed over to get a second chance, but it's also fun to see shows that he's made videos about before, Frieren and Shadow, getting another spotlight and seeing the man happy about them. May it distract him from whatever animal anime comes next...

As someone who has read the Manga for Frieren, omg they couldn't have done any better of adapting it. Everything from the absolutely gorgeous animation, to the cast and overall story. Frieren is an easy 10/10 and it isn't even debatable imo
agree, manga was so good already. i have doubt about the anime, since the story is slow and not much battle going on. but damn, the production quality is top notch, blew me out.
The last episode was fire af and I couldn’t wait for the examination arc i just want to skip time and get to that instantly
@@xValsionYou say you've read the manga but are complaining about no battles in the anime?
Makes me wonder if you've actually read the manga at all, because it's not what I'd call "action packed."
The summoning salt bit at 16:17 made me spit out my drink laughing.
I know right I just fucking lost it when it happened.

What is the anime shown?
Glad Undead Unluck got the shout out it deserved. I can't even watch the show (legally) in Thailand because of 'Hulu', but the manga really offers one of the most creative and genre-bending stories in recent years while keeping a fun tone. I just really, really hope it will be legally accessible worldwide soon.
Wait until you find out about gogoanime, 123movies, and putlocker bro.
The Apothecary Diaries and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End are two must watch shows. They are both really good animes in their own way, offering unique ideas in their storylines. Needless to say they are already among my favourites
apothecary dieries and kamonohashi ron are same thing basically, kamonohashi ron is best detective in history, but maomao solves cases faster than best detective in history does and maomao is never wrong, i can predict outcome of every single episode, those anime are same as "got reincarnated as strongest magician" or whatever where MC is never wrong, you really shouldnt state your opinion about quality of anime in public, but thats just my opinion i could be wrong xD
@@patrikarhi ehh ig but honestly the premises are different. Maomao isn’t focused on being a detective, and doesn’t mainly solve cases. The comedy and elements in the story are different from Kamonohashi. But ur opinion is urs and mine is mine it doesn’t matter.
I was not interested in apothecary diaries just by the title. But when described as "House MD in imperial China" I might give it a whirl.
Both also got best op
@@Whale64yeah dont state your opinion anywhere in future, it is painful reading what u wrote, they both solve mysteries thats the premise of every episode so far. Opinion is for your tastes, i like SAO but i will still rate it 7/10 or lower, be realistic an say it is average anime 6/10 at best. I like berserk of gluttony but i would never recommend it cause is average or even below average anime, say it with me "apothecary diaries is not any good but i still like it"
Frieren is an instant classic. Undead Unluck despite looking like a fun spin on shonen tropes, I feel like isn't being talked about much
ive herd some good things about the manga, it will prob blow up after a while
Frieren, undead unluck, and kingdoms of ruin are all pretty damn good. Deadmount death play season two has slowed down so much i don't love it.
I just can't get behind an anime where the protagonist is the creepy harassment comedic relief character.
It's typical crazy organization shit, that every seasons there's always a slot for it
I think ppl just gonna be blinded with more isekai and fantasy show instead of that one, that's why it's one of the underrated anime of the season
@@_Mr.Black_ Kingdoms of ruin? Really?
Shadow Garden is so influential that they can even sponsor in the real world. Now that is peak.
Glad Gigguk put Sousou no Frieren as the biggest on the thumbnail, I know a lot of people are watching it already but it deserves more views imo. Basically a mixture of Kino’s Journey with some Mushoku Tensei elements blended into it! ❤
Gigguk never disappoints. Always looking forward for his nutshell vids 👌
The Steve Jobs joke got me so bad lmao
Steve Handjobs.😂
The thing about Undead Unluck as a manga reader is that it hasn’t even really begun exploring the most interesting aspects of its world and power system yet in the anime
idk who's most powerful in the union
kinda like csm season 1
I'm already hooked, so I can't wait!
Next episode should give anime-onlys the first slice of the cool worldbuilding, can't wait
is not like we have a season even yet so idk why you said that lol
Actually liking a harem like 100 girlfriends is a really surprise for me this season. The show is aware for it's ridiculousness and not afraid to turn it up like Eminence or Gintama.
yes bro i fuckin love it
There will be a couple controversial girls, if they make more seasons. I hope they do, I want to hear all the girls coming to life.
@@alittleofsomething Oh yeah, there's a few who are gonna be 100% controversial, but the story doesn't care, and after a while you just need to accept them, funny enough the 6th GF got redeemed.
I like it I read the manga up until I couldn't remember all the girlfriends names properly. It's weird because the mangaka attempts to give EVERY GIRLFRIEND SCREENTIME. My head hurts too much to read it but watching it will be fun
@@pedroescalona3842 She's in the op and I wonder if we will get the stotyline 👀
As I knew about the premise of Frieren, when I began watching the first episode I was ready to get hit in the feels and it didn't disappoint.
I downloaded the first 10 episodes the night prior to my flight back home from Tokyo and watched them all one after the other, it was amazing.
Ive been looking forward to Frieren since i heard about it is a rare genre that it's even rarer that its done well. That genre being a slow thoughtful show that explores an idea or concept.
Try the 2004 Kino no Tabi for another example of this done well (not the 2017 version). It like Frieren is a masterpiece in this genre but one i personally hold to higher regard. (the Dub is also extremely good and is one of the very few shows id say the Dub is better as it allows for you to focus on the world and it was done before the mass dubbing using the same voice actors).
Frieren is the perfect example of why you only need 1 episode to tell if an anime is very good or not
so is it good or not?
It got me at the title. Loved that manga, it seems the adaptation is also amazingly well done.
@@daaangdang744 very
@@daaangdang744it’s absolutely excellent
lots of anime have interesting episode 1 then butchered the rest of the show
There is only one logical next step after getting sponsored by The Eminence in Shadow, time for Garnt to add another show to his MAL credits!
He's gotta be in the dub
Aww yeah, time to double the size of that list!
16:11
THE SUMMONING SALT INTRO BRO, yea this video is peak
Love how you mentioned that frieren is also about appreciating the little things in life. One of the things that hooked me on this anime was exactly this
I love that when you first mentioned Forbidden Deductions, I thought the Super Detective was banned from Investigating because he was SO good, that it ruined the sport of Crime as it wasn't giving criminals a fair chance. Him telling criminals to Unalive themselves makes a lot more sense as a valid reason to be told to stop.
Now I want what you first assumed as an anime.
Edit: death note does not count
I think you mean "hot fuzz"
I've always enjoyed Garnt's humor, but the quality of these segments keeps getting better. The Summoning Salt bit was chef's kiss.
Garnt I don't know if you still edit your own videos, but if you do, this one was a masterpiece. Really clever cuts and references, probably my favorite seasonal anime in a nutshell video yet. I hope you don't get burnt out doing these because the quality and love really shows and I just wanted to leave you a nice comment of my appreciation :)
According to the description, he didn't edit by himself
Thank you for saying what I couldn’t put into words
But every anime season video is like this
the fUCKING summoning salt at the end bro i can't that was too good
He edits in part with another editor.
If I recall correctly, he reviews everything the other editor does, and then adds his own flair.
Apothecary Diaries has been such a surprise for me this season. Definitely worth watching - the first episode is fine, but it really ramps up throughout. Historic Chinese Waifu House is a great way to put it. Frieren is fantastic and easily one of the best this season. Eminence is still the goat of isekai. I want isekai quartet with shadow and Kazuma meeting. Two goats. Overtake has been really great - but I am the target audience: I love racing and photography. Berserk of gluttony is hilarious for being such a copy and paste of everything fantasy/isekai.
Lol that daughter caught ligma protocol rain bit almost killed my gut. 🤣 I needed that, currently going through dopamine lows due to seasonal affective disorder. Winter blows.
I'm glad 16bit Sensation got a mention because I'm really really loving it, especially as a VN fan. Konoha's outraged scream at Kanon and Sengoku Rance priced 100 JPY at the shop was like "she's just like me fr fr." VNs deserves some more respect, Konoha's right in how influential they are. Maybe with the time travel mechanics they can get to Minori which is INSANELY influential being one of the dominoes in both Chinese gachage and Makoto Shinkai's career.
Konoha's voice actor is so good
I personally hate the ayaya Voice acting, those high pitched voices are personally Just Not for me, even If I am Sure that she is doing a fantastic Job.
They are also, in my opinion, the best possible medium to learn Japanese. You get text, pronunciations that you can play over and over, native-oriented storytelling and lots of idiomatic expressions. Also, the art is gorgeous in some of them!
My english is terrible btw im not a writer just an Isekai idea (no magic or it can be just read the last idea I thought)
(Before isekaied) First it show his life growing up in technological era.his life goes like this he grow up with loving family taking care of him.loved by everyone goes through a lot of struggle and hardship.he grow up to be father he love is his family,life and he want to see them grow he is happy.... Until one day he died cause of laboratory accident killing him.his though process when he is dieing he feel sad,scared,worried and angry because of his happy life is ending without seeing his family son wife daughter growing up like their first day at school,college,graduation,marriage and their life happy
(He died)
At this part he see a vision seeing some light first he thought he is alive feeling happy until he try to move his hand normally but it feel to weird the he saw that his hand is small with his blurry vision then he try to touch his face he feel the touch from his face and hand later realizing that when the accident happened his hand is dicapitated with the current technology they aren't able to create such and organic hand with sensory feel(note:idk if we r able to do this in era)then he try to talk but unable to do so.he starting to feel scared, anxious and heart beating fast he realize he is a baby knowing this he thought it is reincarnation at this moment he is completely feel scared and shock because he is unaware of this new world going to offer plus with the memory of his past life he hate the idea of reincarnation with past memory because it feel torturing to him bcuz his life was perfect he didn't want to start a new life
Synopsis:reincarnated in (any era u think this story fit my thought was like time when technology is consider some kind of witchery to make the mc have development since he love tech but maybe in this world people have different opinions) he going through another world of life questioning his life in the past and right now overcoming his depression wether he want to accept this new life.
Im thinking that he have endless reincarnation maybe for future arc feeling lifeless that it never ending of this cruel soul reincarnation with different shape or form of life maybe the story goes to unacceptance to accepting this endless reincarnation with the fact it full of adventurous and experience.with this arc maybe he try to find another reincarnation (note this is maybe too cruel) he can but when the reincarnation people meet one of them die but why? Hmmm maybe its a terrible idea.
Am I the only one who noticed that almost every manga Gigguk talked about got an anime after a while? ( like: Oshi no Ko,
Zom 100, and now Frieren: Beyond Journey's End )
And I'm honestly sure that the rest of the manga that Gigguk spoke about will also get an anime in the future.
The one about the smoker chick and the office dude got an announcement for its anime. Gigguk also spoke Call of the Night into being. Either he's prophetic or it was just a matter of time for most manga to get an anime adaptation. So... Gash Bell 2 when
They announce the anime something like 1 year before...
Recommend him more mangas

Thank you
Read the fking description...
Nvm, i see you are even sadder and just copied and pasted the description
Never in a million years did I expect a summoning salt parody in a Gigguk video. the second that song started i knew what i was in for. a masterpiece.
Now I kinda want to see someone make a full parody for 100 Girlfriends, because that protag genuinely radiates the same kinda “wait, quantum mechanics allows this?!” energy as speedrunners.
“Normally, the game has a pity system, and if you roll enough rejections with high karma, you’ll get a guaranteed success. However, the game stores this as an unsigned int, and takes a few frames to properly reset the flags. As such, if a runner could activate two proposals at once, he could cause an underflow glitch, granting 255 guaranteed successful proposals.
This… is the Tenchi maneuver”
HELP I CANT BREATHE IT WAS TOO FUNNY
I felt like a sleeper agent being activated
Undead Unluck is really phenomenal, it’s only going to get better especially as the world building progresses. It’s a fantastically rewarding series to spend time with and each little detail means something.
I watched episode 1 for the seemingly half-baked premise, stayed for the animation, then was completely hooked by the hook dropped in like, the 5th episode. xD What a weird underdog series.
IKR! And Gigguk just barely mentions it....

I love how Gigguk keeps making these videos, and somehow seems to keep one-upping himself with the jokes. That one summoning-sallt bit had me rolling. My favorite creator on YT by far
This was literally the best video he's ever made, I'm giddy
Same!
Undead Unluck is honestly an underrated gem. It's pace is great and its characters are interesting. More people should know about it.
I watched the first episode of Frieren, and I am hooked. It is just different compared to other anime, it has the feels, the vibe, it makes ponder whether living a long live really matters. So good
OMG Gigguk! The editing and writing and delivery for this video was on point. This is genuinely your best video yet! Props to all who worked on it!
These videos are always my favourite. The Humor, editing and script are peak. Please never stop making these. It would be really cool if you went back to previous years and made videos about them too. Love your work and keep it up.
My top 3 this season
1. Frieran, this should be the anime of the year
2. The Apothecary Diaries, I was surprised by how good this has been .
3. The Eminence in Shadow, well it was not as good as I expected it to be but still pretty fun.

Same! I had to pause the video to remember where I heard that track from.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one! It was gonna drive me crazy lol
When I read the first chapter, I immediately think what if TRUE sings for Frieren op, so I tried to use Sincerely with Frieren intro, and I don't feel something off of it.
Also Evan Call is a perfect choice for the show music
anyone remember what violet evergarden track this is?
edit its called the voice in my heart
I don't know why but the writing seemed even better than it usually is. Keep up the good work Garnt!
Over the years of watching anime, Apothecary Diaries definitely left a mark as one of the best anime’s to exist. Something about the story and characters are just so good and refreshing. The cherry on top is that it’s gonna be a 24ep season which means 2x the excitement and anticipation
Do you know what's most disappointing thing?...
Is that Gigguk didn't talk about Pluto in the video.
He did technically, in the final few seconds.
@@notundead9719
He knew, but I was hoping for more.
Hopefully making a video about it
Pluto was absolutely astounding.
Nah, the fact that he didn’t mention a continuation of one of the biggest anime franchise of all time.
frieren legit made me cry.this anime hit the spot in so many different ways and you can really relate to the struggles that the characters faces. This anime make you think about your life choices
are the action scenes any good though. cuz in the manga everyone is really stiff, which is what i kinda expected from fights in a slice of life anime.
This anime is quite a whiplash. you started out speed running through her life and it only starts to slow down when she gets herself and apprentice, of whom actually teaches Frieren to learn to be mindful of her time even though she is almost an immortal.

@@saebre. Eh they haven't really been mainstream that long really. Before like 2013's GDQ and Twitch really taking off speedrunning was pretty obscure outside of a few TASes of games like Super Mario Bros blowing people's minds back before 2010 every couple of years.
14:57 NO , YOU JUST DIDNT PUT HIM THERE ARE AS A JOKE
Frieren is one of the rare animes that completely hooked me within the first few episodes. It is so beautiful in many different ways from the stunning visuals to the well orchestrated music and the slow-paced yet never boring plot I can say confidently that this is definitely my top for 2023.
People are sleeping on Dead Mount Death Play.
The animation isn't the best ever, but it's doing reverse Isekai right! Every episode adds more & more layers to the multiple mysteries, but you can always tell it's going somewhere. It actually got me reading the manga, and now I'm enjoying it even more!
Edit: Shoutout to *Pluto* as well! Hot damn, that was a great ride!
The first season just felt like they were piling up mysteries for the sake of mysteries with no real plot. Is there any actual payoff in season 2?
@ARCNA442 Not quite yet, though the pace has definitely picked up (only 4 episodes in so far). But I started reading the manga to figure out if there were real payoffs, and now it all makes sense to me.
All the mysteries & questions being layered on each other have purpose. S1 was introducing & setting up all the players & pieces, but it's all planned out.
If you liked Baccano! or Durarara!! it's just like them (same writer). But I can see why it might not feel worth it to some people
@@corey2232 Thanks! I might end up giving season 2 a try.

Returner's Magic Should be Special is something that I've been reading for the last couple years, and I just want to say that it caught me COMPLETELY off-guard when I saw it pop up on the 2023 fall list. Berserk of Gluttony is in the same boat too. 100% It has amazing source material and I am hyped beyond belief for this adaptation from out of left field. With the Solo Leveling adaptation on the horizon, I can't be anything but excited for all the different manhwa and manhua to get animated.
Someday, we may get the breaker adaptation it deserves.
Returner is soo good coz he aint OP he just brings everyone down to his level lmao
is Returner's Magic actually good? Since there are so many good anime this season I didn't give a chance (especially since the MAL rating is super low too).
@@XanderFenikkusu IDK about the quality of the anime, but the manhwa it is adapted from is certainly one of the best I've read.
@@XanderFenikkusu I don't know about the anime, but the manhwa is good I wouldn't consider it the best. It is basically what you would expect, with someone who has a second chance to save the world with all their knowledge (not their power) from the future. You get to watch the protagonist try to navigate the situation with his future knowledge of magical innovation and the creative uses he made for weaker spells that he gained from said future.
The protagonist from what I read (got interrupted due to life circumstances, need to pick it back up) doesn't ever really get OP, there's always a bigger fish which he can use his knowledge to combat. There's also the personal aspects that I'm surprised to see brought-up by a manhwa, often in these types of stories beginner writers focus on the main character planning and completely negate the personal side of things. To that degree we are left with an interesting situation where the protagonist wants to get his relationships back but he is simply a far more different person than he was when the original events happened.
11:22 the way you explain Berserk of Gluttony is amazing! I couldn’t have summarized it better
Photoshopping the chad guy's face on top of Rentarou from 100 Girlfriends accurately showcases how much of a great romcom MC he is.
11:04 props to garnt for that high harmony though 😂

I really hope Garnt makes a dedicated video on 100GFs when the season is done, because holy *fuck* is there some spice coming later this season

Cid harem isn't much of a harem though
100 Girlfriends is unironically really fun. The humor is excellent and it manages to be both absurd and wholesome without getting in its own way.

you just make the best anime recap every season.
thank you!
Also: I couldnt stop listening to your voice while watching Frieren. Had it on my manga "to-watch" list since i saw your video, and you were damn right about it. Gotta thank you for that one aswell
Frieren is so good. I love the pacing even though it's different than what I usually watch and the storyline has been so good so far
This INTRO.... Even after all these years it still gives me goosebumps every time I see it!!!

Frieren is so good it might actually become my anime of the year of it continous like this. Also Shangri La Frontier is a really fun show that I randomly started watching with a friend.

I have to say, as someone with absolutely zero interest in villainess anime or isekai in general, Tearmoon is actually surprisingly hilarious and well done. I wouldn’t call it ground breaking, but it really balances the comedy with the darker stuff quite well. And the mc is pretty great because she’s STILL a selfish asshole, but now she has perspective and is really trying, they didn’t just take the easy route and microwave it. Also the fact that she keeps failing upwards is hilarious. The writing is way better than I expected from looking at the trailer and thumbnail art.
I find myself actually looking forward to it each week, which I wasn’t expecting to
I think you just convinced me to give it a try
To be quite frank, sounds like you do in fact not have zero interest in the villainess sub-genre
Well, they do the easy route. I mean, she's a kid. A princess, sure, but a kid. We don't see her doing anything with her parents, the head ministers, and so on. Instead, she befriends one guy, and that bit of favor is enough to reverse the country's economic downfall. That would impact a lot of very powerful people, and upset quite a few. The favor of a princess isn't going to be enough to pull that off. And this guy, he talks about how expensive her meals and such are, and that's obviously the type of thing that needs to be curtailed. So how does the next episode start? With her buying super expensive chocolates. Oh, and then adding an additional expense by supporting the writer gal. And hey, a single charity hospital? Disease crisis averted.
Mind you, I like the show, and find it fun, but it is definitely an anime to enjoy about what is happening on the screen, and not to try and figure out how it would all the stuff they gloss over would actually play out, what it would require.
@@Axterix13 oh yeah, I mean it’s definitely not deep. I mean I enjoyed that it didn’t just say “something terrible happened to her and now she’s a good person”, it actually bothers to give her a character arc.
I personally like the deep ‘running a kingdom’ stuff, but it was clear it was never going to be that kind of anime so I don’t mind the glossing so much. I do wish we got to see more of her family though, I feel that’s an important detail. But maybe that’s for later
The moment I heard Marie Antoinette go backs in time and tries to stop the French Revolution I knew I was going to watch it despite I have never watched villainnes genre.
13:30 bro i fell from my chair watching that
100 Girlfriends is my favorite new anime this season. It's too funny lmao. Rentarou is truly wholesome Chad 🐐
This has been probably the best seasonal anime review you’ve ever done! Loved it

Undead unluck is awesome. Picked it up right near the beginning of the manga, enjoyed every second
Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, Shangra La Frontier are absolute BANGERS. Beautiful Art styles, good animation and good story

That SummoningSalt reference caught me off-guard, holy shit. Well done.
God Connor shouting in triumph over the skipped cutscene is the best part of the video
It was so accurate that I thought it was real
I did the same thing. "Holy shit, the person who wrote this actually plays video games!"
@@marylit21same, wasn't sure first, but he used the same clip later again
The best part about 100 girlfriends manga is that the author is fully comittimg to it.The mc already has 26 girlfriends
The Apothecary Diaries' manga is really, really amazing. Highly recommend! Also, great video as always!
