Where is that mentioned? I don't remember it from the books.

And it was made just for me :)

You just unlocked a repressed childhood memory from when I was 10 and we spent our lunchtimes playing MTG outside the school hall. Every day for months one year a group of girls decided to rehearse a dance they were choreographing to Animals by savage garden so we had to listen to it being constantly played, rewound, played again, stopped, repeated, ad nauseam. It made me hate savage garden for years after with an unrequited fury. I don't think I ever fully recovered.

The thing for me wasn't so much the game choice but the placement. It feels like they took a big bag of 100 of the best games and randomly picked them out one at a time. If you start to ask is Y really better than X on this list then it starts to make less and less sense.

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

What use is grief to a horse?

Really? I'm super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan's other series'.

100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.

The only other show that's given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.

I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they'd tried to push it out to Frieren length.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

Lot's of really good recommendations here already. One series I don't see discussed much is the Acts of Caine series by Matthew Stover and I think it's exactly what you're after: shit talking, badass, tortured anti-hero in a deeply depraved and corrupt world with copious violence and sex and a deep and well written story.

Each of the 4 books is self contained but they are worth reading chronologically, starting with Heroes Die. The audio book is also fucking terrific.

They had this at the screening I went to. I wonder what they'll do for the home release version?
