Frieren 10/10 AOTY

Everything about it is top notch.

The way background characters are suddenly much older, so you see time as Frieren does. The slow build of her finally realising her own feelings. The way the date is recorded from Himmel's death. The soundtrack's integration into the narrative. The way Flamme's civilisation was greek/roman while the contemporary one is medieval. The understated humour that has perfect timing. Frieren releasing her mana. The way she immediately kills demons without even saying anything, she just starts blasting.

It's all so good. This and Dungeon Meshi are both so good at actually thinking through their setting and story and showing the logical consequences of the narrative elements.
