Charles Holmes

Think about the way Arya and the Hound and them traveling, or Brienne and Jaime traveling.

Like those moments where you're like, oh, the sitcom elements of these two characters in this situation is almost why I'm here.

And I think what Fear does so well is that whether they're talking about the original party that defeated the Demon King or this new party, it's not a show that is very plot driven in terms of these characters need to fight this villain and everything is leading to that.

It's more so how does this journey change us fundamentally?

It's like the best side quest of an RPG.

Some episodes are just like, oh, what if this side quest was actually just as entertaining as the main quest?

hero we're just finding what will come next we don't know what's over the next hill and we're going to discover it together and we're going to bond along the way and it's just so delightful really i mean you can i ask this though yeah are we underselling to your point where it's like a night of the seven kingdoms i think we all loved it because of that sitcom like quality of just like we get character moments we get people hanging out these are our buds every sunday but there was action

And I do think Fearing when the story progresses and when there is action or something big happens, it's almost like, oh, you almost forget.

You've been on so many side quests, you forget the main quest.

And then when they have an episode where Fearing or Fern are showing you actually how powerful they are and how they can use their magic and why Fearing was part of the group that defeated the Ziba King, you're like,

oh, this is interesting.

This is phenomenal.

And that is the genius of the show to me is that... Yeah.

The conceit for most episodes is so dumb, which is the same way that Ed, Edd, and Eddie always need to get a jawbreaker.

Or you think of anything like Plankton wanting to get a Krabby Patty.

Beren is that way about grimoires.

And what I think you said that is so special and why one of the reasons I love manga, love anime...

For true nerds, for fantasy nerds, for people who love Battle Shonen, for the type of people who go on YouTube to have breakdowns of Spider-Man's powers and how they work and blah, blah, blah.

Fearing is that type.

It scratches that nerdy itch of like, oh...
