Frieren was awesome but it's so fresh I'm not absolutely sure it'll keep being that
Severance season 1 (follow-up seasons upcoming, not sure if they can keep up with the extremely high quality of S1)
True Detective season 1
Madoka was great, thanks to tight storytelling and the best soundtrack I've ever heard
Kino's Journey -- somewhat similar to Frieren but 20 years prior
Chernobyl (2019)
Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Firefly
Twin Peaks, especially seasons 1 and 3, but season 2 and the movie might be needed to fully appreciate
Twin peaks has a third season?
Yup, the season's called the return. If you liked the first two seasons you should watch it
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4093826
I struggled to watch season 2 & 3. Fortunately, I had a buddy who watched with me because some scenes, you really question the choices.
As a whole ride on Mr Lynch's crazy train, I enjoyed it.
Yes and it's awesome.
Oh but it does (imo), I mainly read but I think Frieren and Atelier Witch Hat is the strongest running fantasy series currently.
Thats only because bookworm just ended. Idk if you're into light novels but its the best piece of media i might have even consumed three and a half times.
Are you referring to Ascendance of a Bookworm? If so, would you recommend I keep watching the anime whenever a new season comes out, or jump into the manga?
You are right on the series, but its not the manga. The manga(s) are covering the first 3 parts, but none of them are complete. The anime is going in order but its only decent. Read the bookworm books, i personally have read over a 1000 books. This will be the best you ever read if you pick it up
For a different recommendation, im currently on book 11 of wheel of time and its also a masterpiece with plenty of flaws.
Ok, I'll plan on reading the light novels then. Seems like it's pretty long, and I personally adore the premise, so I'm really looking forward to this!
Since you added on a separate recommendation with Wheel of Time, I'll add one as well and hope it's not in your >1k books yet: the webnovel called Worm. If you already read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts instead :)
I've been wanting to re-watch firefly lately. It's short but there's just so much in it. It's one of two shows I've watched start-to-finish more than once.
And since we're here for recommendations...the other show I've watched more than once is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Based on a book by Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) it's charming and insane in ways you might expect if you're familiar with Hitchhiker's Guide but it's absolutely not predictable either. So much fun. (Available on Netflix (in Canada...last I checked))
Yeah that's a good one. Especially the first season, but the second ain't bad either.
Having pushed past season 2, I think the rest of True Detective is worth watching, although they're still very different from the first.
