You know, it's been pretty good so far, I'd even say, really good, probably, and it has an advantage over FMA:B in that I don't find the comedy kind of, grating and annoying, and I find it actually funny sometimes, even if it's mostly just weird and kind of pervy or whatever. Not like, fanservicey, but it does feel like the comedy is just, sex-based, or something? I dunno. I might just be like overblowing it in my brain.

With all that being said, FMA:B is definitely better still. Frieren has specific arcs, FMA:B just straight up has an overarching story that basically never stops and never really falls into, like, specific sections. I dunno, I guess that's mostly a pacing thing, but if you were to ask me which one I liked more on that basis, I would say FMA:B every time. There are some other anime that can match that pacing, right, but most of the time they end up being kind of older more adult-oriented animation, and they don't really have as broad of appeal as FMA:B, so I think it still takes the GOAT position.

Frieren is really good though, I will give it that.
