One of my favorites recently, incredible story, incredible art, comfy and cozy but still gets into it's action bag sometimes. Yeah, I recommend it to anyone who wants some newer anime reccs.

"She will carry our memories into the future."
My favorite anime of last year (and maybe of all time??) Frieren: Beyond Journey's End takes several story tropes and subverts each one. The story begins after the heroes have defeated the evil demon king. The anime centers around Frieren (an immortal elven mage) traveling the world and visiting her cherished friends as they continue to age, all while training her apprentice, a human mage named Fern.
I've never related to a main character more—short and soft spoken with a monotone voice, responding to strangers questions with blunt straightforward answers, and a love for sleeping in. Watching Frieren grow to understand the value of friendships, and how to express that care and appreciation to those friends, was what kept me hooked early on.
The other main party members, Fern and Stark, initially appear to be anime character stereotypes (quick-tempered girl and shōnen-hero boy). Thankfully, those assumptions quickly dissolve as you watch the group interact with one another and showcase more depth as they travel together (an inherently intimate experience IRL, let alone in a fantastical world). The worldbuilding is meticulously simple—the rules of magic are easy understand and the political landscape of the post-demon king world is easy to follow. The plot never feels overcomplicated even as the lore expands. Simultaneously heartwarming and heart wrenching, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has only left me more wanting more ~

a manga (comics or graphic novels originating from japan) written by kanehito yamada and illustrated by tsukasa abe that was recently adapted into a 28 episode tv series.
it is a love letter to the genre, its take on fantasy a breath of fresh air in the oversaturated isekai market of japan and the grim tales of the west due to its focus on slice of life.
unlike the usual plot where we follow a hero’s party on their journey, frieren starts off with the elven mage and her companions returning to the capital after defeating the demon king. years of mindlessness traveling pass and she embarks on another adventure to reach the resting place of souls in order to reunite with her former comrade himmel.
I can’t recommend this series enough ^^ it’s still ongoing so you’ll have a lot of content to keep yourself busy with!!

People in your life who don't pressure you to text or call them all that often and vice verse. Such a relief through the web of constant pressure I feel to keep up with people due to social media. Like nah it's cool if you don't text me that same day, we got lives to live buddy, I'll see ya when I see ya.

Although not horror in it's traditional sense, the dystopic and serious nature of the rules set in this black comedy movie are beyond horrific. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it a couple of weeks ago. It's an insane watch.
