At this point in time, the Winter seasonal shows have either wrapped up or are airing their finale this week. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven't been watching any seasonal shows, but instead want to talk about the finer points of Fushigi Yuugi, that is fine too.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I assume it's not a anime centered around anime then. In anime circles the Frieren anime was already one of the most anticipated shows based on the Manga which was hugely popular long before the anime announcement. Then when the anime aired it dethroned FMA:Brotherhood from the #1 spot on Myanimelist which was like cemented by the word of God or some such. Took everyone by surprise and the discussion flared at that point with discussions about the popular manga, how awesome the adaptation is, about that insane 90 minute first episode, and about the FMA:B fans frothing at the mouths about that affront against their religion. It only got more popular from there with exceptional week after week and finding its way into the mainstream media. In Japan especially it got so huge that the phrase "It's what Hero Himmel would have done" became a mainstream saying like we in the west would joke about WWJD. I love that anecdote and I hope that isn't just a fad and stays for good.

We talk about anime daily, maybe I might have missed the conversations about them.
