    I get ya, I’m on the older side too, and kinda tired of seeing the same shit repeated over and over again. But I will say I am REALLY enjoying Frieren so far. It seems to be 100% for the older crowd. It’s a pure fantasy anime, but it’s much slower and more emotional. If you give it a shot, note that the first 4 eps are meant to be viewed as a set. This week’s was technically ep 5 even though it’s the second time it aired.

      I’m already all caught up on the frieren manga, so I’ll probably just keep reading the manga rather than watch the anime, but I agree it’s excellent.

      I haven’t heard of most of the rest of these though.

        The adaptation is fantastic btw. I’m reading the manga as well and the show has really elevated the story in my opinion. Parts in the manga that had me thinking, “huh, that’s a bit depressing” had me actually fighting back tears in the anime.
