Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

And it'll just be my constant companion, my found family.

And that's the best.

The only downside of Fear in Season 2 is it's only 10 episodes long.

The Ringer-Verse

Which I think is because the manga is on indefinite hiatus right now, just like for the health of the artist and the creator.

And they were really churning it out.

And so they've taken some breaks and they don't want a Game of Thrones situation where they get ahead of the source material.

So fair enough.

Another comp I wanted to make is to the Legend of Zelda, which we talked about on ButtMesh last week.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

There's a lot of Zelda, just the world design, the music, the dungeons, the dungeon maps, the fighting dark versions of yourself, and the traveling around.

The only time where Fearon got a little slow for me was toward the end of the first season, where there was an arc where they're inside a dungeon for several episodes.

And it was kind of cool, but also...

I like the show where they're just itinerant.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

They're moving around.

The Ringer-Verse

They're having different encounters every week.

Also Stark, who is the young frontliner, who's part of Freeran's current party and kind of the will they or won't they with Fern was sort of sidelined during that because it was like a mage exam and he's the warrior.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

So that part, it sort of bogged down a little bit.

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

Yeah.

Am I being a hater?

The Ringer-Verse
Ringer-Verse Recommends: February 2026 (Featuring ‘Frieren’ and a Massive Month for Anime)

No, no, I don't think so.

Not at all.
