Yo, I'm honored because we're about to talk about one of the shows that I think the first season was one of my favorite of that year.

The second season is going to be one of my favorites of this year, man.

I'm overjoyed.

Should I re-pitch Fearon for the people who might have missed it the first time around?

So, Ferrarian is a Japanese manga released in 2020 that I remember vividly because my brother is really, really into manga.

And he handed me the first Tonkabon.

And he's just like, I don't think you're going to like this.

I didn't like this.

But it was during the pandemic, but he was just like, this is going crazy in Japan.

It was something that was catching on.

And my brother wasn't saying that he didn't like it because there was anything wrong about the series.

It was more so because...

Fearing what you realize is kind of the genius about it is that it's this fantasy story.

And to me, it's almost Isekai adjacent, which was why I was a little bit like, like usually Isekai, for those that don't know, is a story where someone from like modern times goes back, usually in time to like think about like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones.

And it's all about how are they going to survive?

There's elves, there's orcs.

It gets weird.

Fearing is not that.

But when I first read it in Takabon form, I'm like, I don't know if I get it.

This is very slow, and it seems like not much is happening.
