I understand Justin's hesitancy with Frieren but it's honestly one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Anime or not. I think Chris was on the money to suggest it.
As a few others have, would like to comment on Frieren because the initial description made it sound a little dismal and gloomy (hence Justin's hesitancy). To put it in a more positive light (which I believe it deserves) I think it's less "ozymandius" and more about Frieren's journey to understand what parts of life are important DESPITE her long lifespan, learning the importance of the small things in life. Shedding her cynicism of "its just a mere 10 year journey" and realizing the "mere 10 years" was, in reality, informing how she is spending the rest of her life. I think that aspect of it is far more beautiful than "everyone dies and your most important achievement will be lost to time"
