I’ve been really enjoying Sousou no Frieren and by enjoying I mean feeling like I want to cry.

I’ll need to find something more upbeat next.

    They’re both good, but I like Helluva more than Hazbin, personally. IMO, the pacing in Helluva is better and it doesn’t have an external motivator pushing the plot along like the execution in Hazbin. It’s a more character-focused story (so far), exploring the relationships between a bunch of characters who all have their own issues. The first few episodes are fine, but the animation quality improves significantly as the series goes on.

        I believe every episode has at least one song, but I wouldn’t call it a musical at the beginning. It becomes more of one as the show progresses to the point where the most recent episode has 4 great songs in about 30 minutes.

            Yeah! The first few eps suffer from lack of budget and a more Saturday morning cartoon kinda feel, but by the time you get to… episode 6 or so on the first season, it’s totally dialed in. Being gay myself it really hits on a lot of stuff moreso than Hazbin. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!

                Glad you liked it! Yeah, that was that team’s first work after the Hazbin pilot so the first few episodes are a bit rough, but yeah, there’s a lot later on that chokes me up too. The juxtaposition of Blitz and Stolas’ relationship hits hard because I’ve been there before. It’s the negative of Fizz and Ozzy’s. But anyways, now we wait, haha.
