News culture No break for him, the best anime of all time will be broadcast from the beginning of the year
Surprise of 2023, it’s the best anime in history right now. But he still has to prove himself with Part 2, which will be released next week. No breaks for this 2023 must-have!
No break for freezing part 2
We told you about it in one of our culture recaps last weekUndead misfortune and his month-long break. The completely crazy anime from David Production (Fire Force, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) will only offer its part 2 from January 23rd. But there is another anime that will offer part 2 in 2024: Freeze. And the little nugget of this end of the year has decided to pamper his fans since there will be no major break between the two parties. Part 2 of Freeze actually begins airing on January 5th.
If you don’t know Freezeit’s probably time to start. The anime produced by Madhouse (Death Note, Parasite…) is a real phenomenon. It began broadcasting last September and gradually softened the hearts of viewers with its moving and profound story. Here is the synopsis of the manga it was adapted from, as presented on Nautiljon:
The young hero Himmel and his companions, the elf Frieren, the dwarf Eisen and the priest Heiter, return victorious from their fight against the Demon King. After ten years of effort, they brought peace to the kingdom. It’s time for them to return to a normal life… Hard to imagine after so many adventures together!
Freeze, on the other hand, seems to be hardly affected by the separation. For the wizard of exceptional longevity, a decade doesn’t weigh heavily. She sets off alone again, promising to reunite with her comrades half a century later. She keeps her word… but these reunions are also the last moments she spends with Himmel, a now old man who dies peacefully before her eyes. Freeze is in shock… Human lives are so short! The elf may be an expert in magic, but she still has a long way to go in understanding humanity… Her new goal: to learn the secrets of the heart!
Freeze, the best anime of all time?
This moving story allows Freeze to become a must watch this year, even the best anime of all time. Accordingly MyAnimeList, Freeze is actually right in front of it Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. He owes this place to a slightly higher score (only 0.5 points difference to FMA). However, there are several points in which this classification raises problems. First, finished works and currently distributed works are placed on the same layer. Freeze could definitely lose quality as the episodes go on, where Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a finished anime whose score reflects the entire work. And then there is the number of opinions given, which varies significantly. The 9.14 of Freeze based on 115,000 returns, during the 9.09 of FMA is calculated from more than 2 million reviews. Freeze’s place as the best anime of all time according to MyAnimeList
You can say that about a lot of anime, but Friieren speaks about so many themes in such a beautiful and poetic way: adulthood, grief, responsibility, love, hate, difference, courage… that’s really the nugget of the year. https://t.co/gDoeoCfjtt

One thing is certain, however Freezeas Oshi no Ko is also one of the must-haves of 2023. And Freeze has its detractors (as you can see from the tweets above), it remains one of the biggest surprises and one of the most memorable anime of the year. Therefore, its defenders are of course numerous and are happy about a poetic and meaningful story as well as a good OST. You can also find our first impressions after watching episode 1 here.
