And of course, check the timestamps if you'd like to skip ahead to any of our other guests' recommendations.

Those should be there for you.

And I hope that you will enjoy this conversation with Charles Holmes.

Okay, I am joined now by Charles Holmes, the Ringer's resident weeb, my anime senpai, my first-class anime mage, Chuck, welcome to Ringerverse Recommends.

Yeah.

First and foremost, I just have to say thank you.

Thank you for being my vector into Frearin because it is one of my favorite fantasy stories ever.

I don't think that's too high praise.

You recommended Frearin on the very first edition of Ringiverse Recommends.

Is that true?

It is true.

You let off.

Yeah.

With Freeran.

It's all been downhill since then.

But April 2024, you recommended Freeran.

And I would have been aware of Freeran one way or another.

But had you not recommended it and had I not heard your pitch, I don't know that I would have checked it out.

I don't think I would have when I did.

And so this is the power of Ringiverse Recommends in action.
