watched it a few months ago and to be honest, frieren has made it hard for me to go back to enjoying "normal" anime.

i get bored instantly trying to get into new seasonals or "classic" shows like eva. the character development, the emotions, and the worldbuilding are just never up to par. it's like going back to games you played as a kid and realizing how shallow they are compared to the stuff for adults. it's honestly depressing

has anyone else experienced this? what should i watch next?

it's the highest rated show on MAL by far. just because you dont personally like it doesn't mean it's not objectively the best or at least one of the best

I never said it's bad. You are just tricking yourself into thinking you won't enjoy anything else.
Like all the idiots who act like they can't enjoy any other games the moment a big new Fromsoft game or shit like Expedition 33 comes out and a few weeks later they forget about it.

Frieren is good, but saying that you can't enjoy any more anime because of it is mega cringe.

I recommend Gantz. It’s pretty much the same thing

>the character development
Weak
>the emotions
There aren't any past like the third episode
>the worldbuilding
The worldbuilding is a mess. The author clearly didn't put enough thought and effort into it. I know this is bait but some people actually think like this.

Zoomers don't know about Gantz

Zoomers also refuse to watch anyhting that came out more than 2-3 years ago or isn't current season. It's all FOMO

This is probably bait, but anyway....
Frieren is nothing special, and even anime is not.
Its just the old formula - a bit of action, a bit of drama/romance/sentimentality and sufficiently hot women packed together in an interesting storyline.
Western media has in the last 20 years refused to run a female protagonist that isn't an insufferable bitch or a complete Mary Sue or both.
Anime is also cheaper to produce than live action, so the producers can still have a bit more courage.
Just try something - there are even websites that offer you tips like "if you liked Frieren, you'll probably enjoy this" - and chances are good that some of them are better than the autis elf show.

lolwut? you get emotionless autists for 80% of the screentime, and the world-building is generic fantasy fare. go watch more anime.
4/10 troll attempt, you got me to respond.

5 years is not staying power. I could see Frieren being popular for a while, especially because zoomers will feel nostalgic towards it. But later generations probably won't care that much.
